"Hmph..." Seeing the queen's voice and trying to impose false charges on them, Concubine Chun snorted coldly and stood up straight first. Wei Ning'er and the other two followed him with light steps under the support of the servants.

"Have you asked you to sit?" the queen sneered.

Wei Ning'er and others turned a deaf ear to her words. Concubine Chun took the chair and looked similar to Wei Ning'er. After looking up, she looked up at the queen and smiled: "Looking at the empress's power, I'm afraid I can't finish it today. According to me, please don't be anxious. I will ask the servant to serve tea and say something slowly. I will definitely know everything!"

Seeing Concubine Chun's arrogant look, the queen was trembling all over when she was angry.

After returning to the palace, she immediately went to the Bingjiao to see the body of the Thirteenth Prince. She was already heartbroken and she felt endless resentment arose in her heart, so she issued an order to send everyone in the harem.

"When I and the Emperor left the Old Summer Palace, the Thirteenth Prince was still fine. Why did he die in just a few days? It must be you who took the blame!" The queen looked at Wei Ning'er and others and shouted sternly.

"Empress... you can't say anything casually. Without any evidence, can you be aware of the crime of your concubine and others?" Yu Fei looked at the queen and said seriously.

"Empress, I and others learned that the Thirteenth Prince was in bad health, so they sent the imperial physician to Yimengxuan to treat him. It was expected that he was stopped by Concubine Yi and Innocent Doctor Zheng. I am not able to help me. Who would have thought that the Thirteenth Prince would die in a few days?" Concubine Chun paused slightly, looked at the queen, and showed a sneer on her face: "As for the cause of the Thirteenth Prince's death, the imperial physicians knew the most. Concubine Yi and Kui Chang knew each other well with the Emperor Zheng, so why don't you ask me clearly?"

The queen had already asked Yipin and Taidian Zheng, and she naturally knew that the child's death was caused by her, but... how could she bear such a fact now?

At this time, she had nowhere to vent her sorrow, not to mention that the queen understood that if the emperor and the queen mother knew about this, she would definitely be punished, and perhaps she would lose her position. Since she returned to the palace early, she naturally could not sit still and wait for death.

Now she can only endure the grief of losing her child and think about how to save everything in her own life.

Of course... pushing the death of the Thirteenth Prince on Wei Ning'er and the others is the most beneficial to her.

In fact... as long as you execute Yipin and the other two, you can have an explanation and keep her alone, but she... feels that it is not enough, far from enough.

"Doctor Zheng has reported that the Thirteenth Prince was poisoned to death. Concubine Ling, you guys have always been against me and have a grudge against me. This time, you must have taken advantage of the absence of me to harm the Thirteenth Prince. Come on, pass on my will and search the palace!" The queen had already made preparations and was confident at this time.

When everyone here changed their faces when they heard that the queen was going to search the palace, especially Wei Ning'er and others. They knew that the queen was prepared for them.

"I wonder, what kind of poison was caused by the Thirteenth Prince? Why did the imperial physician and others not find that the Thirteenth Prince was poisoned when they sent the imperial physician to test it? And... Imperial Doctor Zheng couldn't know it anymore, right?" After Wei Ning'er said that, she looked at the Emperor Zheng kneeling in the hall, her eyes were cold.

Doctor Zheng was sweating all over and said in a trembling voice: "Report to Empress Ling Concubine, that day... it was a slave who had not carefully checked it, and so did several doctors. The slave who was tested again with the Empress today. The thirteenth prince was indeed poisoned and died of premature death."

"Poisoned?" Wei Ning'er looked up at the queen, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Empress... I have loved reading miscellaneous books since I was a child. There are many interesting stories in it. There is a story that is very interesting. Today I will tell you to all the sisters." Wei Ning'er said this and paused slightly and smiled: "A scholar who was in the exam failed and stayed in an inn on the way home. The inn's second brother was determined to see money. At night, he took advantage of the scholar's inadvertent treatment and stolen the scholar's room. After suffocating the scholar with a brocade quilt, he poured poison into the scholar's mouth. Everyone thought that the scholar had lost his name and committed suicide by taking poison because of his name. Moreover, the coroner of the county government broke the scholar's belly, proving that the scholar did not commit suicide by taking poison!"

"It's so scary!" Concubine Chun pretended to be scared.

"Not." Wei Ning'er smiled and said, "It's so cunning, but... in order to find out the cause of the scholar's death, I had to do this!"

"Sister Ling Concubine, I don't understand why it was found that the scholar did not commit suicide by taking poison after being stolen?" Seeing the queen's face getting whiter and whiter, Concubine Yu chuckled and asked.

"Sister doesn't know that if you commit suicide by taking poison, the poison will naturally enter the internal organs, or even the bones and blood. You will naturally have to open the stomach and test it. If... you don't commit suicide by taking poison, the poison will not enter the internal organs. You must know... the dead will not swallow it!" Wei Ning'er returned softly.

"So that's it. Today's Japanese Palace has gained some knowledge. Concubine Ling's sister is more knowledgeable. She also asked her servants to find some miscellaneous books to take a look!" Concubine Chun smiled.

"There are many sisters in the palace, and I'll send them to my sister later!" Lu Yunxi said with a smile at the right time.

"Okay, I'm here to go!" Concubine Chun smiled.

Watching the four of them sing and reunion, blue veins popped up on the queen's forehead.

The belly was broken... These four words were like a bolt from the blue, almost making the queen breathless. Indeed... she did make someone pour a small amount of poison into the Thirteenth Prince.

The child is dead, and it has been almost a month since she died. Letting the child be buried as soon as possible is her only wish to be a mother, but... she cannot, in order to protect herself and to deal with Wei Ning'er and others, she has to do that.

But she never expected that Concubine Ling, a concubine living in the palace, would know such a thing? Could it be that it was really seen from the book?

If it is true that as Princess Ling said, as long as she is exposed to her belly, she can find out everything, then... this time she will not only waste her energy but also suffer the consequences.

Never let anyone touch the child's body again, never, the queen clenched her fists tightly and shouted to Mu Yun and others: "Didn't you hear the will of this palace? Search the palace!"

"Yes, Empress!" Mu Yun said respectfully.

At this point, the queen had no choice. As long as she convicted them and dealt with them before the emperor returned to the palace, the emperor would come and die without evidence.

The queen knew...there would be a great risk. Even if she was the queen, she would not have such rights to execute several high-ranking concubines at one time. That was a taboo. Even this kind of thing had never happened in this dynasty, but... she could only take a gamble now.
