Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

Fate

The iron bars became even colder, not only because of the winter, but also a woman inside. Wu Li Mei has not spoken since his return to the cursed place, since the trial was handed down to him.

Wu Li Mei was found guilty, after the prosecutor's department found mercury powder inside the grand concubine's pavilion. The forced search they did, managed to find the mercury powder stored in the bag. The powder was hidden inside the concubine's bookshelf. Wu Li Mei was further blamed by Yang Li's confession as the lady-in-waiting went on trial. And, even more surprising was the five maids who appeared out of nowhere, claiming to be ruled by the concubine.

The tempo of this matter was proceeding very quickly, as if it had been arranged according to plan. But, it actually raises the suspicion of many parties. This neat plan, it is easier to make a mess.

There was one question from the people in the palace, about Wu Li Mei's motive of poisoning Zhou Xie Ling. While they could see for themselves how unfortunately the concubine was to the princess. But, again the prosecutor's department shut down, as if they wanted to solve this problem in their own way.

Wu Li Mei smiled obliquely, the light has come. The concubine sat closer to the limit of the iron bars, she was as calm and graceful as ever.

"Greetings, mother." said a young man dressed as a prosecutor's department soldier.

"How did you get in?" wu Li Mei asked curiously.

"No one recognizes me with this thin mustache and mole, ma'am." replied Zhou Ming Hao, the crown prince deliberately disguised himself in order to meet Wu Li Mei. Because the imperial family was not allowed to see Wu Li Mei of course.

The mother smiled gently, "Smart child!"

"Thank you, mother."

"So? How is Xiao Ling? Has Teacher Zhang returned?"

Zhou Ming Hao shook his head, he lowered his head full of regret. "Not yet ma'am, the teacher still doesn't know when to return. No news at all."

"Sister's state can't yet be fully said either, but thankfully Xiao Yin never left the princess pavilion. The maidservants of the Empress Mother were so useless, that Dayang Hong had not been released even though she had been proven innocent."

Wu Li Mei permeated the chaotic state of the palace, trouble coming without any loopholes to turn things around. But, it was not Wu Li Mei his name if it could not turn things around. "I have a job for you, baby."

"Say ma'am, whatever I do." the crown prince replied, "We did our best to release you, but the prosecutor's department moved too fast."

"What if they run too fast, we can slow down and set the strategy. Let's save the energy, and find a gap to overtake them."

Zhou Ming Hao nodded, "Good ma'am."

Wu Li Mei gave the code for the son to approach, Zhou Ming Hao turned his head to the right and left to confirm the situation. Only after feeling safe, he approached the mother.

Wu Li Mei whispered a row of sentences that the crown prince easily understood, Zhou Ming Hao smiled happily at her.

The crown prince nodded, "I understand mother."

"Go, son. You don't have much time, just a week before my gantung sentence is carried out."

Zhou Ming Hao grabbed the mother's palm, kissed and grasped it tightly. "I'll get mom out of here, be patient, ma'am."

...****************...

Everyone needed in Wu Li Mei's rescue plan had already gathered, in a secret place in the palace. Inside were Emperor Zhou, the queen mother, Commander Hao, and the twin sons of Wu Li Mei. Dayang Yi and Kasim Hao will take part in the plan this time.

"What is Yang Jia Li again this time?" ask the queen mother.

Emperor Zhou nodded, "Right, mother. My guess is strongly towards the empress. Because there is no one else but that woman."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Zhou Xing Huan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"He's here?" the Queen Mother asked the emperor, the article, almost two months Zhou Xing Huan was in the palace. And he did not face the Queen Mother at all.

Emperor Zhou nodded, "He came before I returned from Su Country."

The Queen Mother clucked, "Cihh, you cheap concubine. He doesn't even know manners. Why did you raise to be a prince, it's too much for him."

Zhou Xing Huan was the son of a concubine whom the Queen Mother hated the most, because the concubine was cunning and greedy. She did not know where she should be, so Zhou's mother Xing Huan planned a coup to depose the queen mother.

However, unfortunately the plan can be read clearly by the Queen Mother. Misadventures turned around, and the concubine received a sentence of exile. Exile was a punishment usually meted out to imperial families who defected, committed crimes, or even killed.

But as for Wu Li Mei's case, it was very clear that the concubine from the beginning was indeed about to be exterminated.

"grandmother." Zhou Fang Yin grumbled at the granny's wrinkled hands, "Help us to save mother, she is innocent in any case."

"I know the princess." replied the Queen Mother. "But what can this old lady do? I won't be able to fight."

"No need to fight, grandma." Zhou Ming Hao approached the Queen Mother.

"Then?"

Zhou Ming Hao conveyed a plan spoken by Wu Li Mei, before the prince had a discussion alot with the emperor and Commander Hao.

Wu Li Mei's plan was indeed the only way that could be taken to save the woman, but if it involved the queen mother, it was, initially Emperor Zhou did not think that the mother would help Wu Li Mei.

"So, should I approach Zhou Xing Huan and Yang Jia Li?"

Ming Hao nodded, "Right, grandma."

"For what?"

"Of course to find information, grandma. They must be hiding something that's the key to their mistake."

"Cihh, no favor!" reject the Queen Mother raw, she is most anti to connect with the two people. Yang Jia Li was a bitch, and Zhou Xing Huan was the son of a cursed concubine.

Ming Hao and Fang Yin looked at each other, they then whined while shaking the grandmother's hanfu arm. "Come, grandma. That's the only way to save mom."

"Grandmothers just need to distract them for a moment, so they don't see any other plans we're preparing."

"Grandmother, mother is a good person. Believe me, he will not hurt Xiao Ling." persuaded Zhou Fang Yin. "Sister desperately needs mom by his side."

"Every day, never to be missed without a question about the mother. My sister has suffered so much with her pain, and now I'm not at her side."

The Queen Mother softened her eyes on Zhou Fang Yin, she was not blind, she often visited and saw for herself the state of Zhou Xie Ling without Wu Li Mei. Very screwed!

"Alright, I'll do it." the Queen Mother broke up
