Who would take a lunatic’s words seriously? But what if she wasn’t lunatic?

In Jingren Palace, Concubine Jing responded strongly despite the Queen's overwhelming anger:

"Your Highness, I respect you as the head of the palace, but this is a big deal. Concubine Qi is a concubine listed on the royal jade disc, and what she said concerns the two princes and Concubine Duan. I think we need to wait for the emperor's instructions on how to deal with this matter."

When she said this, Concubine Jing was so nervous that cold sweat ran down her armpits. In the imperial garden, Concubine Qi suddenly attacked and injured Concubine Jing, and she kept muttering:

"Bitch, don't think that I don't know what you did. Are you feeling proud of what I have done? Dream on! You wanted to harm the Fourth Prince, and you also wanted to harm that bitch An, and you also succeeded in harming that sick Concubine Duan. I know everything very well. I will take you to confront the Emperor now."

Such shocking news one after another shocked Concubine Jing so much that her head was stunned on the spot. However, Cao Qinmo reacted quickly and immediately shouted at the surrounding palace servants:

"Are you all dead? Why don't you pull Concubine Qi away?"

When a group of palace servants hurriedly pulled Concubine Qi off Li Ying, Concubine Qi was still cursing there.

Later, several people discussed and decided that this matter was too serious and must be reported to the Queen. Unexpectedly, the Queen said that Concubine Qi had gone mad because of the loss of her child and she had to be sent out of the palace to recuperate.

In a hurry, Concubine Jing immediately spoke out against it. It was not for any other reason. After Concubine Duan fell ill, the emperor ordered her to assist the empress in handling palace affairs. Now the matter was unclear and involved many royal secrets. If she really handled it as the empress said, how would she explain to the emperor?

Concubine Jing tried to stop her, Cao Qinmo also tried to persuade her, and Xia Dongchun, who liked to watch the fun, was also there to make trouble. The Queen was so angry that she had a severe headache. In the panic, Concubine Jing gave a wink to her maid Ruyi, who understood and ran to the Yangxin Palace.

Faced with Concubine Jing's dominance, the Queen, who had always maintained a very good expression, could no longer hold back. She pointed her finger directly at Concubine Jing and said in a sharp tone:

"Jing Fei, I have always followed the palace rules and have never been partial. Today, Concubine Qi has had hysteria, and I am just following the rules of our ancestors to move her out of the palace to recuperate. As for Concubine Qi's crazy words, it won't be too late to verify them after she wakes up."

Before Concubine Jing could speak, Xia Dongchun could not help herself:

"Empress, it's not that we want to go against you. It's just that you didn't consult the imperial physician and concluded that Concubine Qi was ill. You also didn't report it to the emperor and insisted on having your own way. No matter how you look at it, there is something fishy about it."

Seeing them arguing like this, the Queen slammed the table fiercely and said, "Ming Guiren, you are so bold. How can I allow a mere Guiren like you to question my actions? Someone, go see where the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are and send Concubine Qi away quickly. How can such a commotion be allowed?"

The Queen wanted to cut the Gordian knot, but Cao Qinmo didn't agree with her. Seeing that Concubine Jing was at a loss for words and Xia Dongchun was scolded so much that she stood there in a daze, she gently joined in:

"Empress, although you are in charge of the harem, you must speak with all your heart. If you speak so harshly, the concubines will naturally think too much and think that you are guilty and trying to cover up your guilt."

Seeing that several people were attacking the queen, Li Ying finally fought back:

"I didn't know Sister Cao had such a skill in confusing right and wrong. The Queen was doing things according to the rules, but in your mouth, it became a sign of guilt. I don't know who instructed Sister Cao to make such remarks."

At this point, Cao Qinmo didn't bother her at all. Instead, she asked, "If things are unfair, we should argue. I can't bear to see the Empress being deceived, so that when the Emperor investigates, I will bear the responsibility for nothing. Why did Sister Jing accuse me of this?"

Several people exchanged words and had a lot of fun exchanging witty remarks.

The emperor and An Lingrong walked into the inner hall in such an atmosphere.

The emperor had barely sat down when Concubine Qi, who had been protected by Cao Qinmo and Concubine Xin since entering the palace, immediately jumped out and knelt down as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood:

"Your Majesty, I want to report Concubine Jing for murdering the prince and murdering the concubines."

At this point, An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She gave Cao Qinmo an approving look, indicating that she could watch the show with peace of mind.

As soon as Concubine Qi spoke, not only Concubine Jing's face changed, but even the Queen's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly explained to the Emperor:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi has not yet gotten over the pain of losing her son. Today, she first injured the Sixth Prince in the Imperial Garden, and then maliciously attacked Concubine Jing. It can be seen that she is severely hysterical. Such nonsense cannot be taken seriously."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I did not hurt the Sixth Prince. I just saw that the Sixth Prince was chubby and wanted to tease him, but I was hurt by Concubine Jing's maid. You see, my hand is still injured."

The emperor glanced at Concubine Qi and spoke softly to the queen, "Be patient, everyone. Whether she is ill or just talking nonsense, we can find out by checking. Su Peisheng will ask the imperial physician to take a look at Guaerjia."

Since the emperor had spoken, it would be unnecessary for the queen to say anything at this time. She quickly thought about how to extricate herself from this sudden incident.

While the emperor was drinking tea, the queen looked at Concubine Qi with a serious gaze. How could this woman, whom she regarded as a mere shell, go insane overnight and attack Concubine Jing fanatically? What good would this do for her?

In addition to being depressed, Jingpin, who was kneeling on the ground, was more worried and fearful about her situation. Although she gave birth to a son, she was not favored by the emperor. Qipin's sudden attack made it difficult for her to maneuver around. Fortunately, all the back-up plans of what Qipin said had been cleared up. As long as there was no actual evidence, it all depended on where the emperor's heart was.

While everyone was thinking about something, the imperial physician arrived. It was Zhou Bing.

"Your Majesty, Master Qi is depressed, which leads to emotional frustration, but he has never had any symptoms of hysteria."

The words were clear, and the queen asked anxiously:

"Has Doctor Zhou made a clear diagnosis?"

Zhou Bing quickly knelt down and said, "My queen, if you are worried about Master Qi, you can call other imperial doctors to diagnose him."

The emperor looked at the queen thoughtfully, then waved to Zhou Bing: "No need, you can leave."

When Zhou Bing stepped back and left, An Lingrong finally let go of her tense heart. Since Concubine Qi was not sick, what she had reported today was not groundless.

"Guaerjia, tell me everything you know." The emperor sat firmly on the throne and spoke softly to Concubine Qi.

These words made Concubine Qi happy, at least the emperor was willing to believe her.

However, these words made Concubine Jing's face tense, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as if it was being scratched by a wild cat.

After Concubine Qi told everyone she knew, there was a moment of silence in Jingren Palace where only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

The emperor turned the rosary in his hand a few times before speaking in a cold voice.
