"I don't dare to question Your Majesty, I just hope that Your Majesty can find out the matter, and don't wrongly accuse any good people, and don't let any bad people go." Ji Xiurong said sincerely.

Now that all the evidence is in front of everyone, most people have already determined that Su Qingyao is the murderer of the emperor's heir.

"Since all these evidences point to Su Cairen, Su Cairen also shouted that he was wronged but could not defend himself. Only by finding out this matter can we see whether Su Cairen is really innocent." Emperor Yin De said in a cold tone. Contains a hint of warmth.

"Li Fuhai, pass on my decree, demote the Su family as a daughter-in-law, and ban Huayang Palace. No one is allowed to visit without my decree, and Zhou Meiren is banned from Bingquan Palace."

After Emperor Yinde finished speaking, regardless of everyone's reaction, he walked directly into the inner hall to accompany Concubine Shu.

Su Qingyao suddenly changed from a talented person to the lowest-class prostitute. What she lost was the emperor's favor and trust.

In other words, she once received the emperor's favor, but that was only temporary.

As for the emperor's trust, the emperor was inherently suspicious. How could he trust the people around him?

The side hall of Huayang Palace became much deserted in an instant, even more deserted than the day Su Qingyao just entered the palace.

Xiao Xiazi didn't know how long she had been kneeling in front of Su Qingyao, and she kept saying that the slave deserves to die.

Ziqiu also blames herself. She feels that she was negligent in her duties and failed to protect her master, which resulted in the master's current outcome.

Rumeng and the other new maids were all taken away by people from the Internal Affairs Office. Ziqiu and Xiao Xiazi were originally going to be taken away, but they really couldn't let go of their master. Xiao Xiazi knew those people from the Internal Affairs Office. The little eunuch took some more money. After all, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not make things difficult for them and asked them to stay.

Su Qingyao sat at the table, holding a cup of tea in her hand. She didn't drink it for a long time, thinking about this matter.

If it was really Zhou Meiren who framed her, then the trap had been laid starting from that hairpin.

"Both of you, please get up and talk. Now that this is the case, don't blame yourself for now. Xiao Xiazi, let me ask you, how did you deal with the musk in that hairpin?" Su Qingyao asked Xiao Xiazi, her tone still calm. Not too harsh.

Xiao Xiazi bowed her body and replied, "Back to my master, I burned those dirty things. I saw the dirty things burned with my own eyes. I was worried and buried a lot of soil on them. I will never scream." People discovered it, and the unburned musk that Eunuch Li found today is not from our palace at all."

Hearing what Xiao Xiazi said, Su Qingyao became more confident that her guess was correct.

"Beauty Zhou must have given this hairpin to me first, so that I could not be pregnant with the emperor's heir, but Musk was discovered soon, so I guess that Xiao Xiazi should have been manipulated by Zhou when she was dealing with Musk. The beautiful people saw it, and Zhou Meiren directly gave another hairpin similar to the hairpin she gave me to Concubine Shu, in order to make Concubine Shu have a miscarriage and then blame me. All the evidence today is from Zhou. The beauty has arranged it in advance.”

"Concubine Shu's child is gone, and all the evidence points to me. Your Majesty is angry. At least it will be the result of my current situation. If it is serious, it is hard to say. Although Zhou Meiren has something to do with this matter, if it harms me, If the child of the dead concubine can still drag me into trouble, I believe he will be willing to give it a try."

The index and middle fingers of Su Qingyao's right hand tapped on the table, analyzing the most reasonable explanation for this matter.

Zi Qiu helped Su Qingyao change a cup of tea and put it next to Su Qingyao's hand, "My lord, you mean that Beauty Zhou harmed Concubine Shu's child? Shouldn't they take care of each other in the palace?"

Su Qingyao slowly shook her head, "Maybe there are things we don't know about."

Xiao Xiazi continued, "The most important thing now is how to make the little master prove that he is innocent. As for other things, we should not be concerned about it now."

Su Qingyao closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Now that she was still grounded, many things were done intentionally but without power.

"Little Master, Empress Xiurong also whispered just now that she will help the little Master secretly." Zi Qiu said softly. After all, there are people watching at the door now. Ji Xiurong can't even come close, let alone come in.

Su Qingyao knew that Ji Xiurong would help her, but she still had to think of a sure way.

That night, Emperor Yinde stayed in Guanju Palace without any surprise and stayed with Concubine Shu. Xueer Xueer called and coaxed her softly.

Concubine Shu was nestled in his arms, talking about her child all the time. Emperor Yin De was not happy, so he almost sat with Concubine Shu from night to midnight of the next day.

Li Fuhai came in quietly carrying a newly made dragon robe and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to court."

Emperor Yinde responded lightly, "Xue'er, I will go to court first, and you can have a good rest first."

Concubine Shu reluctantly left his arms, knowing what day it was.

He probably won't come over today.

Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, these are so ironic in Concubine Shu's eyes.

Emperor Yinde had been attending a national funeral, so there had been no grand banquets in the palace.

So this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Yinde specially ordered the queen to make it more lively.

There were lights and colors everywhere in the palace, creating a lively and peaceful atmosphere.

Early in the morning, the queen led the concubines to Ci'an Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. When Emperor Yinde arrived from the next court, he found that his mother-in-law had also entered the palace.

Everyone in Ci'an Palace was dressed in grand palace clothes, sitting together and talking and laughing.

"My son, please give my best regards to your mother. May your mother live a long and healthy life." Emperor Yinde had a faint smile on his face, but he could not hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"I, my concubine/concubine, see your majesty, long live your majesty." The queen led the concubines to salute Emperor Yinde.

Her Royal Highness the Princess also stood up and gave a slight salute to Emperor Yinde, "Greetings to Your Majesty. May your Majesty be safe."

Emperor Yinde respected the eldest princess very much. She was not only his mother-in-law, but also his biological aunt.

Emperor Yinde stepped forward and helped the eldest princess up with his own hands, "Aunt, there's no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

The eldest princess raised her eyes and saw the tired eyes of Emperor Yin De. She said with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't look very good today."

Emperor Yinde didn't say anything. He sat on the soft couch, took the soothing tea that the palace attendant had just served, and took a few sips.

The Queen Mother looked at the concubines and said, "There are fruits in the courtyard that have just been paid tribute by foreign countries, and there are also mooncakes made by the people of the Ai family. You all should go outside for a stroll first."
