"Your Majesty Qi, the maid in your palace who cooked the eight-treasure soup for you left a last letter before she committed suicide. In the letter, she stated that it was the queen who ordered her to add peach kernels to the eight-treasure soup, which caused your miscarriage." Shen Meizhuang continued. road.

"But the matter has not yet been decided. It is not necessarily the Queen who did it..." Shen Meizhuang continued.

"Concubine Hui, you are so presumptuous that you also want to frame me." The queen shouted sternly.

Shen Meizhuang stopped talking and looked at the Queen with a hint of innocence, "The Queen is aware that I am just explaining to Mr. Qi that the matter has not yet been concluded, so how can I frame her?"

"Did the Queen harm my concubine's child... Why... The Queen... I obeyed your words and never disobeyed... Why are you still dissatisfied..." Qi Guiren murmured.

"Mr. Qi, what are you talking about? Someone framed me. I have never harmed your child. I know that your Ama was killed and you lost your child. I am in great pain. But there are other people in your family. They Even though they are more heartbroken than you, you should also think about them." The queen said calmly.

Hearing this, Mr. Qi raised his head in shock and looked at the queen timidly.

"What the Empress said is so strange," Concubine Duan said calmly, "Qi Gui is already in great pain, why would the Empress bring up her family at this time? I don't know if there is any ulterior motive in this?"

"You are all trying to frame me one by one. Could it be that the real culprit behind this is one of you?" The queen glared at Concubine Duan fiercely.

"Queen." The emperor raised his voice.

The queen immediately restrained her anger.

"I want to hear your explanation, why did Mr. Qi have a miscarriage in your palace? Why did you press the news and didn't report it to me in time? Why did the palace maid who committed suicide make eight treasure soup for Mr. Qi every day? And why? Did he leave a final letter identifying you before committing suicide?"

"Your Majesty...this...concubine is unjustly accused. I have never harmed Mr. Qi's child. I was framed. It is precisely because all these incidents point to me that it is more proof that someone deliberately framed me." My concubine," the queen said sadly.

"I am already the queen of the middle palace. If there is a child born to a concubine in the palace, I will call you Huang Niang. Why would I harm other children? Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused."

The emperor's face was as heavy as water and he said nothing.

"Yes, you are already a queen, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Concubine Duan sighed.

"Your Majesty," Mr. Qi said feebly, "Did the recipe for this eight-treasure soup come from the hand of the Queen? Did the maid also harm the child in my concubine's womb on the Queen's order?"

Concubine Jing looked unbearable and said, "Sister Qi, please leave this matter to the emperor. The emperor will definitely make the decision for my sister and Long Si."

"Queen, I have endured you many times. A few years ago, you murdered my concubines and harmed the emperor's heirs. I am grateful for the kindness of the queen mother and your sister Chunyuan's trust, so I can retain your queen position and honor. This time, I will honor you. It was a miscarriage, the witnesses are dead, and the physical evidence is far-fetched, but there are so many doubts that I can’t just sit idly by.”

"Your Majesty, if my sister is still alive, she must believe that I am innocent."

"When I find out about this matter, I also have an explanation for the Queen Mother and Chun Yuan."

The queen's face was ashen.

"Queen, I am temporarily banned from visiting Jingren Palace. No order can be issued. Concubine Duan is in charge of the affairs of the harem for the time being. Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui will assist you as usual. The eunuch of Jingren Palace, the maid in charge, and a kind of close servant are all here. Take him to the Criminal Punishment Department for interrogation."

After the emperor finished speaking, some servants from a small mansion captured the servants of Jingren Palace and escorted them to the Shenxing Department. Immediately, there were begging for mercy in the palace.

The queen knelt on the ground in a daze, looking at Aunt Chen and Jiang Fuhai's cronies being taken away, feeling extremely depressed.

Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui stood up to take orders, and the emperor stood up and left. Silence returned to the palace. Concubine Duan walked up to the queen and said calmly, "Come here, please help the queen to rest in the bedroom."

Then several unfamiliar little maids came in and helped the queen to stand up.

The queen then directed her sharp eyes towards Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui.

"Why, when you see me in trouble, are you so impatient to suppress me? The queen is the queen after all!" the queen shouted sternly.

"Empress, whether you deserve what you have done now, only you know, and those who have been murdered by you, they also know." Shen Meizhuang felt happy and said loudly.

"Whether I deserve my punishment or not, only the Emperor can judge me, so who do you think you are?" the queen sneered.

Concubine Duan did not want to argue with her, so she ordered the palace maid to help her back to her bedroom.

"Shuang'er, I ordered someone to prepare a carriage and send Mr. Qi back to Chuxiu Palace. You must take good care of your mistress. She is in Xiaoyue now and cannot see the wind. If anything happens, feel free to go find me and Concubine Jing, Hui Concubine." Concubine Duan said.

Shuang'er immediately knelt down and said with choked sobs, "I would like to thank you, the noble concubine, for your kindness."

Then, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hui left the side hall, looked at the empty Jingren Palace, and then turned around and left in silence.

On the way, all three of them were speechless, not knowing what they were thinking.

After the initial excitement and joy subsided, Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang also discovered something suspicious. The matter seemed to have something to do with them, but thinking about it carefully, it had nothing to do with them.

They knew that Mr. Qi liked to eat the eight-treasure soup recently, but they didn't take it seriously. They just hid as far away from Mr. Qi as they could to avoid causing trouble.

But if they hadn't done it, could it really be the queen?

This doesn't make sense, Qi Guiren is the queen's son, and it was the queen who helped her conceive the dragon fetus, so the emperor spared E Min's life for the sake of the dragon fetus.

If the queen doesn't want to keep Mr. Qi's child alive, there are plenty of ways to do it, so why go to such trouble?

After returning to the palace, after dinner, Concubine Jing sent someone to invite Concubine Hui, Concubine Chang and Concubine Ji.

Several people got together again and studied today's events in detail.

Xia Dongchun and Concubine Ji heard in the afternoon that Mr. Qi had had a miscarriage in Jingren Palace, and then the queen was grounded, and the eunuchs and maids in charge of Jingren Palace were taken away.

Now that they knew the whole story, the two of them felt puzzled.

Ji Bin thought for a moment and then realized that they were not the ones to do this, and few others had this ability.

There was one person who had the ability to plan this matter and also had a deep hatred for the Queen.

Concubine Ji glanced at Xia Dongchun, who was looking calm and breezy, wondering if she had thought of this.

It happened that their eyes met, and Xia Dongchun naturally thought of Yikun Palace. Seeing Concubine Ji's probing eyes, Xia Dongchun nodded imperceptibly.

"Sisters, don't worry. No matter who planned this, or who caused Qi Guiren's miscarriage, now we just have to wait and see what happens." Ji Bin said.
