She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 191 Search the Palace
As soon as Ning Zhao's question came out, the whole room fell silent.

Peng Qingyin knelt down directly, but before she could say a word, Bai Zhi rushed over from the side, with tears streaming down her face: "Our empress has always been as close to empress De Fei as sisters, but you have harmed empress like this!"

Bai Zhi pushed Peng Qingyin neither gently nor hard. Peng Qingyin had just knelt down and before he could stabilize his body, she pushed him so hard that he fell to the ground. The hollow chrysanthemum-patterned golden steps on his head shook for a moment. It fell off and fell on the jade brick, making a clanking sound.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Bai Zhi was confused for a moment, and then she bumped into Concubine De. Please forgive me, Concubine De. Please forgive me!" Bai Su quickly pushed Bai Zhi down and forcefully pulled her to kowtow and confess.

Bai Zhi's tears fell, but she held her neck and refused to admit her mistake.

Bai Su didn't care much, and while pressing the Angelica dahurica, he kowtowed violently, and the bleeding marks gradually appeared on his white forehead.

"Pull it down." Ning Zhao said calmly.

Eunuch Defu couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and said warmly: "Miss Bai Zhi, please come."

"Your Majesty, has your Majesty forgotten his friendship with your empress?" Bai Zhi refused to go on like this. She actually raised her head and cried directly to Ning Zhao.

Ning Zhao's brows furrowed and a sneer appeared.

How could Defu dare to let her continue crying?She immediately covered her mouth, and two or three chamberlains came forward, and together they held down the struggling Bai Zhi and dragged her down.

Bai Su still wanted to plead for mercy, but Defu winked at her and pulled her down.

After all, Bai Su's mind was still clear, and she knew that Bai Zhi's obsessive words just now had angered the emperor. Even if she crushed her to pieces, she probably wouldn't be able to calm down the emperor at this time. She just let the servants pull her away with tears in her eyes. Go down.

"Say." The crying man in front of him was pulled down, and Ning Zhao turned his attention to Peng Qingyin again.

Peng Qingyin was kneeling downright, her back straight and not at all flustered.

"I am unjustly accused," Peng Qingyin said, "I have never even heard of the poison of 'One Smile Red', so where did the poison come from to poison the noble concubine?"

"Even if I have the intention to poison the imperial concubine, couldn't I do it more covertly? Everyone who attends the imperial concubine knows that the Jade Buddha was given by me, so I wouldn't be so confused!"

Peng Qingyin spoke in a calm and magnanimous manner, as if she was not the one accused of murder.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." Qu Miao suddenly woke up at this moment. As soon as she woke up, she burst into tears. Si Yuan hurriedly came to invite Ning Zhao in.

"Anyone who harms others will never admit that he harms others," Ning Zhao said calmly, "Here comes, seals Changle Palace and searches the palace."

Peng Qingyin's calm face finally showed a trace of confusion. She looked at Ning Zhao with some disbelief: "Your Majesty, you don't trust me?"

"If Concubine De is serious and has no suspicion, I will naturally believe you." Ning Zhao stood up without mercy.

Peng Qingyin subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab Ning Zhao, but her pride made her retract her hand bit by bit just before touching the corner of Ning Zhao's clothes; her pride seemed to be pulled away in an instant. Go and collapse to the ground with a pale face.

The bead curtain swayed slightly, and Ning Zhao had arrived in front of the couch.

"Your Majesty..." Qu Miao's eyes were filled with tears. She glanced at Ning Zhao as if in a dream. It wasn't until Ning Zhao's hand fell on hers that she woke up from a dream and sobbed, "I thought I ...I thought I would never see His Majesty again..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ning Zhao's voice rarely softened.

"I heard from Siyuan that I was poisoned," Qu Miao choked, "I was able to see Your Majesty before I died. This means that my life is complete and I will die without regrets."

Ning Zhao sighed: "Why are you getting more and more outrageous as you talk?"

"Your Majesty..." Qu Miao called him sadly, her resentful voice full of infinite meaning.Ning Zhao could only sigh: "You were so willful a few days ago, and I had to ignore you these days. Why are you so angry and so sick?"

"It was for your own good that I didn't come to see you before. You don't understand my heart." Ning Zhao said again.

"Concubine..." Qu Miao shed tears again. She couldn't say anything else and just looked at Ning Zhao with tearful eyes.

This was a vulnerability that Yun Yuwei had never shown in front of Ning Zhao, and Ning Zhao's heart softened inexplicably.

"That's all," Ning Zhao said, "I don't mean to blame you."

Qu Miao cried and fell into Ning Zhao's arms, sobbing quietly.

She only focused on sobbing in Ning Zhao's arms, and could not see any pity on Ning Zhao's face.

After soothing for a while, Qu Miao finally calmed down, and the people who went to Changle Palace to search the palace came back to report.

"Your Majesty," Defu presented the things he found to Ning Zhao, "this is the 'Yixiaohong' found in Changle Palace. It was found in the secret room of the side hall of Changle Palace. A person who serves Concubine Defu The second-class maid has admitted that Concubine De had privately summoned the Peng family several times when she was in the palace, and that was when the poison was introduced."

"Ah?" Qu Miao looked at Peng Qingyin's figure outside with some disbelief and cried, "There must be a misunderstanding! I have always been as close to my sister as Concubine De, so how could she poison me and murder me?"

Ning Zhao's eyes fell heavily on her, and her heart suddenly shuddered, but she still insisted on crying: "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this!"

"Continue." Ning Zhao patted Qu Miao's back gently and looked at Defu expressionlessly.

Defu flinched, and then looked at Qu Miao, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"Say." Ning Zhao said coldly.

"Yes," Defu continued hurriedly, "I'm afraid Miss Zhu who is next to the empress... is also involved in it."

"This is impossible!" Qu Miao glanced at Ning Zhao's emotionless face, and then blurted out.

Defu didn't dare to say any more.

"You have always been kind, but you didn't know that Zhu Yanying had tampered with your soothing incense." Ning Zhao said.

"But..." Qu Miao's eyes fell on the incense burner in surprise. The ashes in the incense burner had been poured out long ago. "I have seen the incense and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Of course there's nothing wrong with it," Ning Zhao said calmly, "It's just accelerating the poison."

"This..." Qu Miao was shocked, tears rolled down her eyes, "How could she act like this?!"

Bai Zhi and Bai Su were all dragged down. At this time, only Si Yuan was waiting closely. She took a look at Qu Miao's face and boldly said, "Empress, please don't hide anything from Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Qu Miao interrupted her.

Ning Zhao glanced at Qu Miao, who was weeping sadly, and then looked at Siyuan: "Say."

Si Yuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss Zhu usually has close contact with Changle Palace. She spends half of her time in Changle Palace every day. I used to find it strange that the empress still..."

Ning Zhao looked at Qu Miao and sighed: "You have suffered."
