The Empress Dowager smiled when she heard this, "Indeed, if she hadn't been lucky, it would be unknown whether the child in her belly could be saved."

When the Empress Dowager heard the Empress Dowager's words, Concubine Ming moved slightly, "What did the Empress Dowager find out?"

The Empress Dowager did not answer, but asked, "There is a little palace maid next to you who bumped into someone in Shou'an Palace yesterday. Where is she now?"

Concubine Ming didn't know about this, so she looked at the palace maid Congying beside her.

Chongying didn't know about this, but when she saw that Concubine Ming looked at her, she looked at Concubine Ming and the Empress Dowager for blessings and said, "I'll ask."

The Queen Mother said "um", picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea in the cup.

After Ying came out of the main hall, she found several palace maids who went to Shou'an Palace with her yesterday. After inquiring, she found out that the little palace maid who bumped into someone in Shou'an Palace yesterday was a girl named Mian'er.

After looking at the cotton from Ying, she said, "You go to see the concubine and the queen mother with me."

Since the Empress Dowager came to ask about this matter in person, Mian'er must have bumped into someone. As for what Mian'er had done, she would naturally know as long as she brought the person to the Empress Dowager.

Based on the relationship between their concubine and the Queen Mother, she believed that the Queen Mother would not wrongly accuse their concubines.

Mianer knew it was going to be bad when she heard Congying ask about the incident that hit someone yesterday. Now she heard Congying taking her to see the Queen Mother, and she was even more nervous.

After walking two steps from Ying, seeing Mianer not following, he turned his head and frowned and urged, "What are you doing when you are stunned? Why don't you follow me in quickly?"

"Oh." Mianer responded absent-mindedly, raised her heels to her.

After Ying brought the people in, she pointed at Mian'er and said to the Queen Mother: "Myung Empress, the little palace maid who bumped into someone in Shou'an Palace yesterday was Mian'er. Her name was Mian'er. The little palace maid who was assigned by the concubine when she moved to Fu'an Palace. Before, the Queen Mother sent all the people who served around her to serve the third prince. Seeing that she was still a little smart, I transferred the person to the Queen Mother to run errands."

Before transferring the person to the concubine to serve, she also investigated and observed Mian'er, but she had transferred the person to the concubine without finding any problems. Now she was a little uncertain.

The Queen Mother just held the tea cup and gently tickled the tea leaves in the cup with the lid, without opening for a long time.

The hall was silent.

Mian'er, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating coldly in this extremely depressing atmosphere.

Finally, she couldn't help but look up and glance in the direction of the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother placed the teacup in her hand on the table next to her, and the teacup fell on the table and made a very slight collision.

In the silence of the room, such a sound was extremely clear, as if it was hitting Mianer's heart. Mianer's heart thrust and her body couldn't help but tremble.

The queen mother finally gave Mianer a look on her knees on the ground. She looked at Mianer and spoke without any emotion, "Your name is Mianer, right?"

"Yes..., I'm Mian'er." Mian'er replied in a trembling voice.

"Do you know why the Ai family wants to see you?" said the Queen Mother.

Mian'er forced herself to say, "I...I don't know."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, and said softly in dissatisfaction and helplessness: "Lying, I don't look like you don't know!"

After saying that, the Queen Mother called Lai Fu.

Lai Fu understood and walked to Mianer and said, "Since the Empress Dowager asked you to come, it means that the Empress Dowager who should know already knows. If you still don't give honest explanations, then..."

Speaking of this, Lai Fu deliberately paused before continuing to say in a gloomy tone: "I will ask someone to pull out all the nails on your hands and feet, and then ask someone to chop off your fingers and toes one by one, then dig out your eyes and feed them to you, and finally cut off your tongue and send you to the inner court prison, so that they can continue to punish you."

Every time Lai Fu said something, Mian'er shook a little more violently. After Lai Fu finished speaking, Mian'er was already shaking less and her face was as white as paper, with no blood.

"Say or not?"

Lai Fu finally asked another stern question.

Mian'er cried as if she was collapsed, "I said, I said, everything was done by Miss Huarui in the palace of Concubine Ming Jie. I just took the opportunity to hit someone and sprinkle some incense powder. I beg the Queen Mother to spare my life and ask the Queen Mother to spare me. I really know that I was wrong."

When Mianer mentioned Concubine Ming, Concubine Ming's face became unfavorable.

Concubine Ming lowered her eyes and covered the fierce look in her eyes, and quietly waited for the Queen Mother to continue speaking.

The empress dowager did not care about the crying Mianer below, but said to Lai Fu directly: "Go to Yongchun Palace to bring the palace maid named Huarui."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Lai Fu responded and went to Yongchun Palace in person.

It has been more than a year since Concubine Ming Jie was confined. Yongchun Palace has been deserted since Concubine Ming Jie was confined. Now the people from Yongchun Palace are very surprised to see Lai Fu coming to the door.

The tone of the gatekeeper said with a little cursing touch in his tone: "Eunuch Laifu, why are you free to come here today? But what are the Queen Mother's instructions?"

"Come and find someone." After Lai Fu said that, he ignored the palace servants guarding the gate and took the people directly into Yongchun Palace.

When Concubine Ming saw Lai Fu, she was first shocked, then quickly calmed down, squeezed out a smile, and asked, "Eunuch Lai Fu, are you?"

"Ming Jie Concubine." Lai Fu bowed to Ming Jie Concubine, then smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager wants to see the girl Huarui serving you."

"Huarui is a little palace maid. Why did the Empress Dowager remember to see her?"

Although Concubine Ming tried her best to control her, her face still looked a little unnatural.

Lai Fu didn't say anything, just looked at Concubine Ming and smiled.

Concubine Ming did not find out any news, and she could not stop Lai Fu from taking Huarui to see the Queen Mother.

In the end, she could only watch Huarui being taken away by Lai Fu.

But what made her feel a little more at ease was Huarui's performance before leaving.

Before Huarui was taken away, she gave her a special gesture to tell her to reassure her that she would not give her what she had.

After Huarui was taken to Fu'an Palace, she was not panicked at all. She calmly bowed to Mian'er and then knelt quietly beside Mian'er after saluting her.

The Empress Dowager didn't speak, but she kept kneeling.

Seeing that the tricks used on Mianer did not work on Huarui, the empress dowager had to speak, "Do you know why the Ai family came to you?"

Huarui shook her head, "I don't know."

"The little palace maid next to you has already been recruited. Do you think it is interesting to resist stubbornly?" the queen mother asked coldly.
