Chapter 174 From now on, you and I will have no weaknesses
"Master Ling, Master Ling."
It had been more than half an hour since Yan Wan was carried back to Yongshou Palace. She was still unconscious, and Jinzhong was carefully feeding her brown sugar water.
After calling several times, Yanwan finally woke up.
Looking at the medicine, fruits, snacks and the small stove for simmering soup in front of the bed, Yanwan knew that she had been unconscious for quite some time.
"in the end……"
"Don't worry, just lie down and drink the chicken soup. I'll tell you."
Jinzhong knew what Yanwan wanted to ask, so he stopped Yanwan, scooped a small bowl of chicken soup from the earthenware pot beside her, and blew it slowly into Yanwan's mouth.
"Zhaqi is dead. It was Concubine Yu who did it, but she killed Zhaqi by accident."
Yanwan swallowed a mouthful of warm chicken soup. Jinzhong handed Yanwan a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"Zhaqi held the Thirteenth Prince hostage in the Yikun Palace a few days ago and asked the Queen for money. The Queen promised to give Zhaqi 100 taels of gold every month. Concubine Yu was unwilling and rewarded Zhaqi with a cup of poisoned wine."
"Like what Concubine Yu can do. This mad dog can do anything as long as someone can get in the way of the Queen."
Yanwan spoke calmly, she actually thought she could still cry, but when she woke up and looked at everything around her, Yanwan knew that Jinzhong had done everything he should do.
"Yes."
Jinzhong saw that Yanwan said this and was naturally ready to hear the whole truth.
"Zoru and the old lady fell into this state because of greed. In fact, they fell into a trap."
"Zhaqi was secretly watched by Concubine Jia many years ago. Concubine Jia has been supporting Zhaqi in the name of Concubine Yu and taught Zhaqi the best way to gamble.
At first, Zhaqi and Zuolu only made a small bet. Under the guidance of Concubine Jia, Zhaqi deliberately lost a house to Zuolu. "
"Zoru likes gambling, but his luck is very bad. A house must make Zoru feel that he is very lucky now."
After hearing these words, Yan Wan understood Jin Yuyan's methods.
Jin Yuyan taught Zhaqi how to take advantage of Zorlu's gambler mentality. After losing a house to Zorlu, she coaxed Zorlu into winning small games a few times.
When the time was right, Zhaqi proposed to use the Wei Mansion as a bet.
Zuo Lu lost everything, but he was afraid and did not dare to face the consequences of losing the entire Wei Mansion in gambling. So he borrowed a lot of money with the help of Zhaqi.
It was a bad loss as well.
"After that, Madam Wei and Zuo Lu were asked to pay their debts every day. At first, they could still survive by relying on the rewards you gave them in the past.
But Zhaqi was a trap set by Concubine Jia for Concubine Yu, but Concubine Yu was not up to the task. First, the Fifth Prince was poisoned and made mute, then she made the Fifth Prince a companion to Yongqi, and later she even gave her own son to Concubine Qing.
Concubine Jia just ignored Zhaqi.
But the money that Zhaqi had owed to Zuolu had not been repaid. The matter had not been settled. After years of burying it, the old lady was too embarrassed to tell her master.
It was a coincidence. The emperor allowed the old lady to enter the palace at this time. That’s why today’s incident happened.”
Yan Wan tried not to be angry, but after hearing the truth, she couldn't help but clench her fists.
She never expected that Concubine Jia had already secretly plotted against her and Hai Lan.
Jin Yuyan wanted to harm Zhaqi and Hailan. There were many high-ranking officials in the capital who could be used. However, Concubine Jia let Zhaqi target Zuolu. This was planned early on, and she would drag her into the water sooner or later.
"Empress Jia did it very cleanly, and the people she hired were all those who served Concubine Yu in the Yanxi Palace. Now that Zhaqi is dead, Concubine Yu probably doesn't even know what Zhaqi did.
If I didn’t have so many eyes, I wouldn’t have found out so much.”
Jin Yuyan's methods were covert. Whenever she gave Zhaqi advice, she would remind him that the money was definitely not given by the Yanx Palace. The more she said this, the more Zhaqi felt that it was given by the Yanx Palace.
This is consistent with what Yan Wan said. Jin Yuyan wants to plot against more than just Hai Lan.
"The last time Zhaqi entered the palace, it was because Concubine Jia had not taken care of Zhaqi for a long time. He was short of money, so he acted so unruly in the palace."
Hearing this, a tear rolled down Yanwan's eyes.
“So when my mother entered the palace that day and saw that I didn’t want to give her money, and she also saw that Zhaqi had fallen into such a state, she felt there was no hope. She originally wanted to leave, but Ling Yunche lured her back.
Maybe it wasn't Ling Yunche who seduced her, she just wanted to find an opportunity to tell me these things.
She took the initiative to go to various palaces to ask for rewards, and took away all the rewards given to me by the emperor, also to fill the hole for Zuo Lu. "
The story about the voodoo dolls might also be true.
Wei Yang just wanted to go see Jin Yuyan, and Jin Yuyan happened to give her the rainbow satin.
Everything was so coincidental. Wei Yang did see the doll that Zuo Lu used to curse Ruyi, and the doll was made of the rainbow satin that Jin Yuyan gave to Zuo Lu.
Originally, Jin Yuyan could have been killed, but Zhaqi was accidentally poisoned to death by Hailan.
Yanwan pounded the bed.
"Ancestor, you can come to me with whatever you want, don't make it hard on yourself."
Jinzhong held Yanwan's hand with heartache.
Yan Wan pulled out her hand and looked at it carefully again and again.
"It's great to be alive, and it's even better to have hands."
The sun shines through the window onto Yanwan's hands. It is already late autumn, and this kind of sun makes people feel warm.
"Go and help people pay back the money that Zorlu owes. Then chop off his hands. Find someone to watch over him and serve him well. For the rest of his life."
"From now on, you and this palace will have no more weaknesses."
Yan Wan had never been cruel to Zorlu before, nor had she done so after her rebirth, but now she must do so.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away, and I'll make sure no one can find Zorlu. Just say that she was saddened by your mother's death, and she's gone with her mother."
Yanwan nodded. She looked at Jinzhong and said to him:
"Where's Grandma Tian? Ask her to come over. Concubine Jia hasn't been calling her over often recently.
I have to ask Concubine Jia about her condition."
"Mother can die. She can die for my brother or for me, but she cannot be killed by someone's scheme."
Soon, Grandma Tian was brought over.
"Imperial Concubine Jia hasn't asked me to do anything these days. She just asked me some tips on how to maintain my appearance. Then the Fourth Prince returned from his mission to the Yu family, and the Emperor plans to grant him a marriage, and Imperial Concubine Jia is very happy."
"A few days ago, I brought a lot of Yu's portraits to show Fourth Prince."
"A woman from the Yu family?"
Yanwan keenly noticed something was wrong.
Yongcheng is a prince of the Qing Dynasty. If he marries Lady Yu, wouldn't that cut off Yongcheng's path to becoming the crown prince?
"Yes. Concubine Jia likes the Yu princesses very much. Among them, the one she likes the most is the second daughter of Prince Yu, who is about the same age as the Fourth Prince. She is also very good-looking.
Concubine Jia has always said that if the second princess were to be married, it would be great for both Yu Yu and the Qing Dynasty.
The Fourth Prince doesn't seem to be very happy about it."
"The Imperial Concubine Jia admonished the Fourth Prince that he should be as loyal to the Yu family as she was."
"Hey, if Concubine Jia is loyal to Prince Yu, that's fine, but why drag the Fourth Prince into this?"
Grandma Tian was a sensible person, and after saying this, she fell silent.
Yan Wan recalled the past and never really cared about Jin Yuyan's attitude towards the Yu family. She always thought that Jin Yuyan only loved her mother's family. Now it seems that this is not the case.
