Chapter 55: Disfigured Palace Maid vs. Cold-blooded Emperor
After dealing with the Queen, Ye Beichen quickly took action against Prince Duan’s Mansion.

Prince Duan died one night and looked like he had died of illness.

In fact, it was Ye Beichen who sent someone to poison him to death.

But no doctor dared to say.

Her two sons had accidents and her husband died.

Princess Duan could no longer bear the blow and hanged herself that night.

There are only two disabled young men left in the entire Prince Duan’s Mansion.

The once prosperous Prince Duan's Mansion fell into decline and became deserted.

Yu Yao knew that it was Ye Beichen who did it, but she pretended not to know.

Every day I just eat and drink, or occasionally take a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was not good for her to stay in the uterus every day. Proper exercise would be beneficial to childbirth.

Of course, the prerequisite is not to meet Lin Fei.

Concubine Lin has been released from house arrest, but of course she has fallen out of favor.

She tried every possible means and showed all her tenderness, but still failed to win back Ye Beichen's heart.

Not to mention letting Ye Beichen go to her palace.

Concubine Lin hated Yu Yao so much that she hated her for taking away her love and favor.

She felt that everything Yu Yao had now belonged to her.

His personality became more and more gloomy, more and more twisted, and his hostility became more and more serious.

I heard that he often took out his anger on the palace maids and eunuchs around him, beating and scolding them.

Even Concubine Lin's personal maid Caiyue was not spared.

Yongfu Palace also became the place that palace maids and eunuchs were most reluctant to stay.

Many palace maids and eunuchs who had connections also found people to transfer from there to serve elsewhere.

After hearing this, Yu Yao just smiled and didn't say anything.

The weather is getting colder and winter will soon arrive.

The snow began to fall heavily.

The Daye harem was wrapped in silver, and the Yuexian Palace was also covered with thick snow. All things were dormant, except the honeysuckle, which was evergreen and stood tenaciously in the snow.

Yu Yao's belly is already more than eight months old.

Midwives had already been found, four in total.

Ye Beichen asked Eunuch Fu to find them personally and investigate them.

The four midwives are all innocent and clean, and they belong to no one.

But Yu Yao still checked it and made sure there was no problem, so she settled them in Yuexian Palace.

She was pregnant with twins and there was a risk of premature birth at any time, so even the delivery room was set up.

All the materials needed for production are also fully prepared.

Just wait for her to give birth.

But before she was about to give birth, something big happened.

One day, when Qingtan was tidying up her room, she suddenly found a piece of men's clothing under her bed.

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, not understanding why there were men's clothes under her bed.

But she soon realized that someone was trying to frame her.

"Qingtan, deal with the clothes quickly..."

After she reacted, she spoke to Qingtan with a cold face.

Qingtan also realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly burned the man's clothes.

But don't wait for her to burn it.

The Queen Mother brought her men to Yuexian Palace in a threatening manner.

After nearly a year of recuperation, the Queen Mother's legs have fully recovered.

When he came, a large group of people followed him.

There were people from the Cining Palace as well as concubines from the harem, and it looked like they were coming to hold the criminal accountable.

The scene was quite scary.

Ye Beichen also knew about it, and he didn't believe at all that Yu Yao would have an affair behind his back.

That woman can't even serve him well, how can she have the energy to have an affair with another man?

What's more, she is so pregnant.

Although I didn't believe it, it passed.

Yuexian Palace.

Nanny Qiu snatched the clothes that Qingtan was about to burn and handed them to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took a look and her face darkened. Then, she threw the clothes at Yu Yao's feet and said angrily: "Noble Concubine Yao, whose clothes are these men's clothes? How did they get under your bed?"

"And whose child is that in your belly?"

The Queen Mother pointed at Yu Yao's belly, which was so big that her toes couldn't be seen, and said, "Your Majesty, the child in my belly is of course the Emperor's."

Yu Yao looked at the Queen Mother and glanced at the clothes under her feet. "What can a man's clothes mean? It's obvious that someone is framing me. I hope the Queen Mother can see clearly."

After she finished speaking, her eyes swept towards Lin Fei inconspicuously.

The system told her that this piece of men's clothing was secretly put in by a palace maid named Caixing who was sent by Concubine Lin.

She is about to give birth, and Yuexian Palace has been crowded with people coming in and out recently.

There were so many people and everyone was busy with their own things that no one noticed.

Yu Yao wanted someone to find Cai Xing, but the system said that Cai Xing had been killed by Lin Fei.

The body was thrown into a dry well in the cold palace.

Of course, a dead person cannot come to testify for her.

Yu Yao was really troubled now, secretly thinking about how to break the impasse.

The Queen Mother also realized that someone was trying to frame her, but since it involved the royal bloodline, she had to investigate.

Then, an order was issued to search the place.

The result was - incredible.

I actually found a pink bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks in a guard's room.

It has a strong scent of gardenia.

It is also very similar to the fragrance of the imperial concubine.

Who in the palace doesn't know that Imperial Concubine Yao likes the scent of gardenias? If this isn't hers, whose is it?

When Ye Beichen saw the bellyband, his inner nervousness disappeared and he started laughing.

Yaoer's body fragrance is unique, and he knows it smells different the moment he smells it.

"Hahaha... Is this bellyband mine?"

Yu Yao pointed at the bellyband and laughed so hard that her body shook with an extremely exaggerated expression.

Seeing Ye Beichen and Concubine Yao both laughing, everyone present was stunned and didn't understand what they were laughing at.

"Empress Yao, if this bellyband is not yours, then whose is it? Don't try to act crazy or stupid!"

After Concubine Lin fell out of favor, her temper became more and more violent. She no longer had her former gentleness and was now very rude in her words.

Yu Yao glanced at Concubine Lin sarcastically, but did not answer her. Instead, she looked at Ye Beichen and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are most familiar with the smell of this concubine. Do you think this bellyband belongs to this concubine?"

Ye Beichen smiled faintly, "Of course it's not my beloved concubine's!"

The Queen Mother thought that the Emperor wanted to protect Yu Yao, and said unhappily: "Emperor, the royal bloodline cannot be mixed."

Ye Beichen looked at the Queen Mother and explained in a low voice: "Mother, I did not protect Concubine Yao. Concubine Yao was born with a strange fragrance that cannot be smelled normally, but as long as she exercises a little, the fragrance will be released. That smell is completely different from the one on this bellyband, and it cannot be imitated."

"As for this piece of men's clothing, I'm afraid it was also stuffed into Yuexian Palace by someone else."

He said again in a deep voice.

This not only shocked the Queen Mother, but also all the concubines present.

At the same time, I also understood why Concubine Yao was favored.

It has a unique fragrance that is only emitted during exercise. Isn’t this a natural aphrodisiac?

Which man would not love a woman like this?
Shock was followed by jealousy.

They also want to have such body fragrance.

Concubine Lin looked at Yu Yao in shock and jealousy.

How come this bitch has body odor?

How can she have body odor?
No wonder Chen Lang was seduced by this bitch, that's why.

Concubine Lin was very unwilling.

She finally found an opportunity to frame Yu Yao, but unexpectedly she let him escape.

Yu Yao took in Concubine Lin's expression and said nothing.

I just wanted to get rid of this woman as soon as possible after the birth.

She has never been a good person, not to mention that Concubine Lin dared to frame her for having an affair.

Soon everyone left.

After everyone left, Ye Beichen hugged Yu Yao and whispered softly in her ear, "Don't worry, Yao'er, I will definitely find out who framed you."

Yu Yao smiled, and then unnoticeably led Eunuch Fu to the cold palace to salvage Cai Xing's body.

A few days later, Caixing's body was salvaged, and Eunuch Fu recognized at a glance that Caixing was from Yongfu Palace.

I know that this matter is probably related to Concubine Lin.

Although there is no evidence to prove that it was Concubine Lin who did it, it is almost certain.

Ye Beichen also thought so, and his favorability towards Lin Fei dropped to 20.

But because there is no evidence, it is difficult to deal with.

He just found a random reason to confine Lin Fei to her home, with no time limit.

In fact, it is just a disguised form of banishment to the cold palace.
