Chapter 637 Reversal
Meng Jieyu did not let Xi Concubine stand up without courtesy, but bent down to lift up Fan Cairen who was kneeling on the ground beside her.

"Sister Jin, get up quickly. The ground is cold. You just had a miscarriage, so take care of it."

An ordinary sentence brought tears to Fan Cairen's eyes.

She had just soiled her clothes, but she didn't dare to say anything. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Seeing that Meng Jieyu was very kind, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Empress Jieyu, for your kindness. I will change my clothes and come back."

Meng Jieyu said pleasantly, "Go quickly."

After turning around, he said, "Sister Xibin, please get up quickly. I even forgot that my sister is still polite."

Xi concubine cursed in her heart, hypocritical! I sighed secretly, is it true that girls from wealthy families are all like this, relying on manipulating others to show off their status?

But she said politely, "Sister Xie Jieyu."

"What did sister ask just now?" Meng Jieyu asked with concern, her tone a bit coercive. Thinking of the affectionate relationship with the emperor last night, I felt even sweeter and more confident.

Xi concubine, "It's not much different from the one who interrogated the palace maid this morning."

Her answer was obviously not what Meng Jieyu wanted to hear.

Meng Jieyu looked directly into Xipin's eyes, "Not much difference, how much difference? Sister Xipin, why don't you tell me. I just went to the prison of the Palace Administration Department and got some news, but I don't know if it's the same as what you heard."

Xi concubine felt very uncomfortable in front of Meng Zhao and felt panicked. The low self-esteem and discomfort I felt when facing my sister-in-law before came back again.

Fan Cairen's eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes began to dodge unnaturally, and he whispered, "Sister Zhen, she is very good and caring to my concubine."

When he mentioned the child, Fan Cairen's eyes were red, and he lost control of his emotions. Tears rolled down one by one, "Sister Jieyu, thank you for making the decision for my concubine's unborn child."

"Is Empress Jieyu doubting Zhen Jieyu?" Xi Pin couldn't help blurting out.

Anyway, she was determined not to admit that she had aborted the baby by taking the poisonous ginseng when she saw that the fetus was not in good condition. As long as she doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to her, and she doesn't care who she blames.

"I didn't say anything, this is what you said. I just asked as a matter of routine." Meng Jieyu said calmly.

She immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Sister, please tell me what's going on."

This is good news. Let’s fight, let’s fight quickly.

Xi Pin sensed Meng Jieyu's bad intentions, and subconsciously turned her face away, her eyes drooping, "My sister's news is naturally the latest and best."

"Sister Jin, just tell the truth, don't be afraid. I will make the decision for you. The emperor rested at my place last night and mentioned you, asking me to find out about this matter and give you and your child a Explain.”

Fan Cairen was also shocked by Meng Jieyu's coercion. He lowered his head and couldn't make up his mind, and didn't speak for a long time.

It was obvious that Fan Cairen had lost control of his emotions and was playing into Meng Jieyu's hands.

After Fan Cairen came out, Meng Jieyu asked her to sit down and asked, "Sister Jin, I would like to ask you how I treated you when you and Zhen Jieyu lived in the same palace before, and how is your relationship with her?"

Meng Jieyu smiled and said, "It's better to wait until Fan Cai comes out. Just ask her."

Meng Jieyu showed displeasure and asked, "I heard that my sister fell while playing at the lake a few days ago and has already turned red."

Fan Cairen quickly explained: "I didn't see any redness! I just have a stomachache."

Meng Jieyu asked doubtfully, "It's a big deal whether you see the fall or not. Why didn't my sister ask the imperial doctor?" Fan Cairen looked at Xi Pin in bewilderment. This is also a high position that she cannot afford to offend.

Xi Bin also stared at Fan Cairen nervously, her heart in her throat. He was worried that Fan Cairen would reveal what he just said and implicate himself.

Unexpectedly, Fan Cairen was very sensible. After winking at the concubine, he humbly took the blame on himself: "I was confused for a moment. I sent my maid to invite her, but she didn't come, so I didn't." Persistence. I can only blame my concubine for speaking softly."

The look Xi Concubine gave Fan Cai did not escape Meng Zhao's eyes.

She already knew that Fan Cairen sent someone to knock on Ye Suhua's door the night before yesterday, asking for a medical doctor.

Meng Zhao looked at Xi Concubine, "Fan Cairen, did you send someone to ask Xi Concubine to summon the imperial doctor that night?"

Fan Cairen hesitated for a long time without speaking. Tears rolled down his face. He gritted his teeth, shook his head and said,
"My Lady, please don't blame Sister Xi. It has nothing to do with Sister Xi. I should not have ignored the advice of the Concubine Xian and insisted on going to the lake, so she slipped and got into trouble. Besides, it was already very late that day, and all the palaces had already arrived. Keyed down."

Meng Zhao: "Whether it is related or not, the Emperor will decide for himself. The Emperor sent me here just to understand the whole process of the matter."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, for your concern."

Meng Zhao asked again, "Sister Jin, who do you think put the medicine in your chicken soup?"

Fan Cairen shook his head and said with a hint of disappointment: "Sister Zhen has always treated me very well. When I lived in the Yanxi Palace, I would often prepare delicious food for my concubine in the small kitchen. I believe that sister Zhen is innocent. of."

Meng Zhao sighed, "Fan Cairen is indeed as good as the title. I just went to Gong Zhengsi. Your maid Xuanxuan confessed."

Concubine Xi was so surprised that she blurted out, "You mean her maid recruited Zhen Jieyu?"

Fan Cairen shook his head and said very firmly, "I don't believe Sister Zhen is such a person. There must be some misunderstanding here. Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, maybe she lied in order to evade responsibility."

"Why do you say that?" Meng Zhao asked, holding on to Fan Cairen's words.

Fan Caieren bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Because it was Xuanxuan who suggested drinking ginseng, angelica and tangerine peel soup to protect the fetus, and she was the one who chose the ginseng."

Finally, we came to ginseng.

Meng Zhao quickly asked: "The hospital checked the chicken soup and found two ginseng roots in it. Why is one ginseng missing?"

Fan Cairen was shocked, how did the Taiyuan Hospital find out that one ginseng was missing? He pretended to be confused and said:

"It was the soup that Xuanxuan made. She gave it to me in a bowl. There was indeed half a ginseng in it. The ginseng looked like the best at first glance. I thought it was good for my health and I didn't want to waste it, so I ate all the soup and ginseng."

"Fan Cairen, you must be responsible for what you say, and you must not slander others at will."

Fan Cairen's expression was very confused: "What do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Meng Zhao cleared his throat: "There is something wrong with the ginseng you ate. It was treated with medicine in advance. Eating it will cause miscarriage."

Fan Cairen was surprised and frightened: "Is your Majesty saying that someone wants to harm my concubine on purpose?"

Xi Concubine was also very curious, but she was impatient with Meng Zhao going around in such a big circle, "Empress Jieyu, so who gave me that ginseng tree?"

Meng Zhao lightly knocked on the table, "I am here to check the accounts of the treasury registration on the emperor's order. Let's see who sent the poisonous ginseng."
