Emperor Wu'an nodded slightly. He had just seen Chang Ning's death state and was furious for a moment.

Now that Prince Cheng said it, he calmed down. There was indeed something wrong with this matter. Ling Yu's behavior during this period did not look like a clueless person!

How dare she kill someone in the palace!

"Ling Yu, if you tell the truth, if you dare to lie, you will be severely punished!"

Ling Yu lowered his head and had countless thoughts in his mind.

It is impossible for Queen Wei to kill her favorite granddaughter to frame herself. This matter was obviously led by Concubine Shao.

Concubine Shao suggested giving herself a chance to speak. Who knows if there might be a trap hidden in it?

"Your Majesty, Ling Yu was accompanying the Queen Mother in the Imperial Garden just now. Tao Zi came to report that Lingxuan was taken away by Chang Ning, so Ling Yu came to find Lingxuan!"

Ling Yu answered cautiously.

Concubine Shao immediately seized the opportunity and pretended to be puzzled: "A maid was taken away by Chang Ning, and you still look for it yourself. Isn't this unreasonable?"

Ling Yu's heart tightened. Sure enough, Concubine Shao had dug a trap waiting for her.

Doesn't this lead to the conclusion that he really has a grudge against Chang Ning?

On the surface, Concubine Shao was helping Prince Cheng to give herself a chance to defend herself, but in fact, she wanted to establish evidence of her crime of killing Chang Ning.

Even if there is a secret recipe for beauty in Sikong Xun’s medical book, it’s not surprising that Concubine Shao would have thought of it!

But Ling Yu had a hunch that Concubine Shao was not just here for the secret recipe for beauty!

Could it be that Concubine Shao and the mysterious man came here for the things at the back of Sikong Xun's medical book that they couldn't understand?

So what exactly is it?

"Ling Yu, you still dare to argue that today is a banquet for the emperor to entertain envoys from the two countries. You left the queen mother and the important banquet to go to find the maid. Who would believe such nonsense?!"

Queen Wei also asked aggressively.

Before Ling Yu could speak, Xiao Lintian said in a deep voice: "Father, I know the reason!"

"Lingxuan used to be a maid in the palace. She was forced by Chang Ning to climb the Xinyi tree to pick flowers. As a result, she fell from the tree and her life was hanging by a thread. It was Ling Yu who saved her!"

"Ling Yu has been getting along with Lingxuan during this period. She knew that Lingxuan was taken away by Chang Ning and was worried that she would be embarrassed by Chang Ning. It is normal to go to Lingxuan!"

Queen Wei was so angry that she cursed: "King Yi, Chang Ning is dead, do you still want to slander her like this? What are your intentions? Do you want to say that my parent Ning is evil? Is your Ling Yu the only one who is kind?"

Xiao Lintian said in a deep voice: "Empress, what I said is the truth. Both Eunuch Xie and the Queen Mother know this. Lingxuan was given to Ling Yu by the Queen Mother!"

When Eunuch Xie heard that Ling Yu left to find Lingxuan, how could he not help him!

He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave can confirm that this is indeed the case!"

"That day, the old slave was talking to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother took pity on the palace maid and asked the old slave to find Tang TiDian to save Lingxuan. Tang TiDian was unable to save Lingxuan, but in the end it was Ling Yu who saved Lingxuan!"

When Empress Wei saw that Eunuch Xie had said this, she glared at Eunuch Xie angrily and did not dare to dwell on the matter anymore. She said bitterly.

"Even if Changning and Lingxuan have some grudges, Ling Yu, you can't kill Changning just to vent your anger on a maid! Is the life of a maid more noble than that of Changning?"

Ling Yu said solemnly: "In Ling Yu's eyes, life is worthy of awe! Lingxuan's life is life, and Changning's life is also life! Ling Yu will never do anything to kill people!"

"Please, Your Majesty, let Ling Yu continue speaking!"

Emperor Wu An glanced at Queen Wei and nodded calmly this time, "You say it!"

"Ling Yu and Tao Zi came to look for Ling Xuan, but they separated at a fork in the road. Ling Yu walked this way, but was knocked unconscious just after entering the door!"

"When Ling Yu woke up, she was tied to a chair by three men in black! There was a man hiding in the dark!"

Before Ling Yu could finish speaking, Queen Wei sneered.

"Your Majesty, you see her fabrications are getting more and more outrageous! How could there be a man in black in the palace? What other men are there? This is really just to get away with it, she dares to say any ridiculous things!"
