Chapter 176 The New King of Bahrain
Concubine Ke was promoted to concubine and asked to move out of Xianfu Palace as soon as possible. When Meiruo heard that she was deposed, her eyes changed from disbelief to madness. She still couldn't believe that Hongli would treat her like this. Wasn't Hongli really afraid of chilling the hearts of the forty-nine Mongolian tribes?
King Balin was dead, yet Meiruo still dared to bring up the Forty-Nine Mongol tribes. Jinbao waved his hand, and guards immediately stepped forward to carry Abao away and clear everyone present. Concubine Ke glanced at Meiruo, then, supported by Meixiang, left Xianfu Palace.
When Jinbao walked in, Meiruo took two steps back in fear and said, "What do you want to do? If you dare to harm me, I will make the emperor kill you."
Jinbao didn't indulge her either.
He reached out and slapped her twice loudly on the face.
Meiruo covered her face and looked at Jinbao in disbelief, baring her teeth and saying, "How dare you hit me? I will kill you—"
"I will write a letter to my father right now, asking him to send troops to kill you, the eunuch."
Jinbao burst out laughing.
He laughed at Meiruo's naivety, saying that she didn't even know that the Balin tribe had surrendered and that King Balin had been assassinated. Since that was the case, he would be kind enough to tell Meiruo the truth.
Jin Bao: "Empress Yingpin, you are still wishful thinking. Do you know why the Emperor has imprisoned Princess Balin and the Fourth Prince in the Ministry of Punishment? It's because your father, King Balin, is dead. The new King Balin, hoping to gain the protection of the Qing Dynasty, has offered to surrender. His only demand is that Princess Balin and the Fourth Prince be returned to him, or he will kill them with his own hands."
Is the King of Bahrain dead?
How is this possible? His Abu is the bravest eagle on the grassland. How could he die so easily? Jinbao must have lied to her.
She propped herself up and smiled, "You little dog slave, don't try to trick me. I, Abu, will not die. You'd better shut your dog mouth. When I turn over, the first thing I will do is kill you."
Jinbao shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid your majesty will never see that day again." He glanced around Meiruo's room. It was where she would eventually die alone. He continued, "The Crown Prince has awakened and reported you as the one who pushed him into the water. Your majesty, you've lost more than you gained. The Crown Prince is Princess Hejing's beloved child. How could you possibly do anything wrong to harm him? No wonder Balin Baoler murdered his father and brother. You must be the real culprit."
"What did you say?" Meiruo grabbed Jinbao's arm.
Barin Bowral is her second brother.
Yet, she never acknowledged this brother. Although they shared the same blood, Balin Baoler was not Princess Balin's son. From childhood, the four siblings treated Baoler like a beast of burden. This indirectly led to Baoler's childhood hatred. Jirimutu, the foremost warrior of the Mongols, left the Balin tribe, giving Baoler an opportunity. Shortly after their departure, Baoler, under the guise of filial piety, assassinated the Balin king. He then stole the Balin king's seal and surrendered to the Qing in the name of the Balin tribe, but his only demands were that Princess Balin and her son be abducted, Jirimutu be killed, and the princess and the four princes be returned to the Balin tribe. Conquering a tribe without a fight was a boon for Hongli. Furthermore, Princess Balin and her son had not only disrespected Zeng Huan in the harem but had also brazenly harmed Hongli's children. He had long intended to deal with such lawless individuals.
Jinbao smiled, shook off Meiruo's hand, and left Xianfu Palace. No matter how she called him from behind, he did not look back until the gate of Xianfu Palace was locked. He knew that Meiruo would never be able to leave in this life.
After her revenge was achieved, Yan Wan felt much better.
She held Jing Qian in her arms, and Lan Qi bent over with a rattle in her hand, shaking it in front of Jing Qian, making Jing Qian giggle.
Jing Xian is cute, and she is completely different from the annoying Jing Xuan in her previous life.
Yanwan took Jingwan to the wet nurse.
Yan Wan: "I heard that the new King of Bahrain killed the Princess and the Fourth Prince. I don't know if this is true."
Lan Qi: "The news from Jinzhong must be true. I heard that the new king Baoler is not the princess's biological son and has been bullied by them since he was a child. It's not wrong for him to take revenge and avenge his biological mother."
Yanwan smiled bitterly.
Lan Qi asked, "Are you thinking of Madam Wei and Zuo Lu?"
Yan Wan hesitated for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Lan Qi, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm not particularly sad about the passing of my mother and brother. For so many years, I've desperately tried to prove it to my mother, but she saw no place for me besides Zuo Lu. Even though I'd resorted to all sorts of tricks to ascend to the position of concubine, she still despised me for being useless. Now that they're dead, it's a relief for me." She smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Lan Qi hugged Yan Wan, patted her back and said softly, "It's useless. Their death is not your fault. It's all Balin's fault..."
Of course, Lan Qi and Jin Zhong were also responsible for this, but she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that Yan Wan would hate her after knowing the truth.
But as long as Yanwan is doing well, Lan Qi is not afraid even if there are great difficulties ahead.
Late at night, the small trees in the yard were illuminated by the moon. Soft moonlight caressed the faces of the leaves and penetrated the earth. Strands of silvery-white light made Guanju Palace even more beautiful.
"Empress Cheng?"
Lan Qi had just stepped into the main hall when she suddenly heard a shout from behind her.
Lan Qi: "It's Yingsi, is there anything wrong?"
Su Lian hesitated to speak, glancing at Ji Tao. Lan Qi knew Su Lian had something to say, so she said to Ji Tao, "Ji Tao, I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and get some peach blossom pastries."
Ji Tao retreated immediately.
Lan Qi turned and led Su Lian into the house. After Su Lian closed the door, she walked over to Lan Qi, knelt down, and said, "My lady, I just want to ask you, when will we avenge Empress Xiaoxian?"
Lan Qi sat down on the stool and elegantly picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the teacup, a smile spread across her face as she said, "Hasn't this palace already made sure that the Ulanara and Keliyete families received the punishment they deserved?"
Su Lian raised her eyelids. Although Ruyi and Hailan had fallen, Jin Yuyan still held a high position. She was now a noble concubine, and the Fourth Prince Yongsheng was also very successful. If they continued to be so complacent, Yongsheng might be the heir to the throne. Su Lian would not allow such a thing to happen. Seeing that Lan Qi had not yet taken action, Su Lian thought that Lan Qi was afraid of the Yu family behind Yuyan, so she wanted to remind Lan Qi.
"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. It's just that now is not the best time to take action against Concubine Jia." Lan Qi looked at Su Lian and said, "Su Lian, believe me. I will definitely avenge Empress Xiaoxian."
