It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Seeing that Emperor Xiao Ping was silent, Concubine Li said:

"Your Majesty, Sister Zhen is the apple of your eye. The Yaoguang Palace where she lives is heavily guarded. Besides, it is winter now and the first snow has just fallen. How could a fire break out for no reason?"

"What do you think?" Emperor Xiao Ping's expression eased slightly.

Perhaps it was because he saw that Concubine Li's attitude was sincere and that she really cared about Su Wanti, there was some warmth in his eyes when he looked at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li could naturally feel the change in the emperor's attitude. She was excited and wanted to get rid of Su Wanti more urgently.

Her bright eyes rolled around, and she came forward with a sweet voice.

"Your Majesty, I think someone must have set the fire to harm Sister Zhen! Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and has a keen eye. If you interrogate the palace servants in Yaoguang Palace now, you will definitely find the real culprit who harmed Sister Zhen!"

It was obvious from Concubine Li's words and actions that she wanted to lead Emperor Xiao Ping to Yaoguang Palace for interrogation and search.

Su Wanti lowered her eyes. She had long noticed that Concubine Li's behavior had been a little strange in recent days.

Moreover, she also had the support of the system, and was fully aware of Concubine Li's secret actions.

She is just waiting for Concubine Li to take action!

Now that Concubine Li has finally taken action, she naturally has to cooperate well.

After hearing what Concubine Li said, Su Wanti immediately trembled in fear in Emperor Xiao Ping's arms. Her watery eyes were full of fear, her little face was pale, and her voice was trembling.

She raised her little face, like a frightened little white rabbit,

"Your Majesty, is it really as Sister Li Fei said? Is it really not an accident? Is someone trying to harm me? I am so scared. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor. No demons or monsters can hide in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty, just listen to Sister Li Fei and go to Yaoguang Palace to find out who wants to harm me, okay?"

Her voice was timid and her eyes were misty with fear, which made people feel pity for her.

Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the woman in his arms with heartache and said, "Don't be afraid, Wan'er. I'm here. If it's true as Concubine Li said, there's something fishy about the fire in Yaoguang Palace, then I will definitely find out the truth and severely punish the culprit."

Concubine Li looked at Emperor Xiao Ping's doting eyes and felt sour and hateful in her heart. She clenched her fists so tightly that she almost broke her two-inch long nails.

She lowered her eyes to hide the flames of jealousy in them. After a moment, she raised her eyes and smiled gently, "Sister Zhen is so lucky to be loved by His Majesty."

Su Wanti acted innocently, snuggling on Emperor Xiao Ping's broad chest like a little bird, smiling sweetly, "Yes, Your Majesty is very good to Wan'er."

Her words made Concubine Li so angry that her lungs almost exploded!

Concubine Li choked for a moment, moved her lips, but could not utter any more words.

Su Wanti laughed secretly in her heart when she saw her nose was crooked from anger.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of Yaoguang Palace. What Su Wanti didn't expect was that the queen was already waiting at the gate.

"Your Majesty," the Queen said respectfully with her eyes lowered, then raised her eyes and exchanged a glance with Emperor Xiao Ping.

The Empress was of the same age as Emperor Xiao Ping, around thirty years old. She was well maintained, with fair and firm skin and soothing and elegant facial features.

She was originally a noble lady from an aristocratic family. After entering the palace, she held the Phoenix Seal for ten years. After going through the hardships of handling all the affairs in the harem, she developed a decisive and capable temperament.

On weekdays, she doesn't talk much, and what she says is very concise. She doesn't make things difficult for the concubines in the harem. Overall, she is an easy person to get along with.

Su Wanti had a good impression of her.

"The Queen is here too." Emperor Xiao Ping said calmly.

"I came here as soon as I was notified."

A look and a few words made Su Wanti feel something was not right. She always felt that the relationship between Emperor Xiao Ping and the Queen was indifferent, as if they should not contact each other unless necessary.

Today's conversation made her feel even stronger.

However, what kind of relationship the emperor and the empress have has nothing to do with her, as long as the empress does not harm her, Su Wanti thought to herself.

The fire started in a side hall. The fire was small and was extinguished in time, so it had no impact on the main hall.

Several people sat in the front hall of the main hall and began to interrogate the palace servants of Yaoguang Hall.

An Xun and all the palace servants in Yaoguang Palace knelt on the ground.

Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were deep, and his scrutinizing gaze kept moving over them.

These palace people were selected by An Xun after careful screening, so there shouldn't be any problems.

He asked Eunuch De to question the palace servants, and at the same time sent people to search the entire Yaoguang Palace to see if they could find any clues.

After a round of interrogation, I couldn't hear anything wrong with the palace servant's words. Now it depends on whether we can find any useful clues.

After waiting for only an incense stick of time, a young eunuch came to report that they had found a rag doll made of white silk in the side hall where the fire had caught fire. The emperor's birth date was written on the doll.

The young eunuchs knew that this was witchcraft and did not dare to delay and presented it immediately.

Emperor Xiao Ping rarely gets angry, and this is the first time Su Wanti has seen him angry.

His indifferent eyes gradually became gloomy and cold, his face was covered with dark clouds, his thin lips were pursed into a line, and a murderous aura emanated from his whole body, which made people shudder.

Su Wanti pretended to be confused and asked, "What is this? Was it found in my palace?"

Concubine Li screamed in horror, "This is witchcraft!"

Then she shook her head, pointed her green fingers at Su Wanti, and said sternly:

"Jieyu Zhen, you actually practiced witchcraft in the palace and cursed the emperor. You are so audacious and your crime is unforgivable!"

At this time, another young eunuch brought in a palace maid.

The palace maid lowered her head, walked into the hall, knelt down, trembling, and said:

"My name is Lu Qiao. I was originally a maid in Yaoguang Palace, responsible for sweeping and cleaning. A month ago, I accidentally saw Empress Zhen Jieyu. The Empress—"

Emperor Xiao Ping's face was frighteningly gloomy. He opened his thin lips and uttered one word, "Speak!"

The palace maid raised her eyes cautiously and glanced at Su Wanti, and continued:

"I saw Concubine Zhen holding this puppet and cursing it, and even stabbing it with a needle. Concubine Zhen said that the emperor caused her and her husband to divorce, and she hated the emperor."

"I wanted to report this to the Emperor, but I was afraid that Concubine Zhen would harm me. Later, I was transferred out of Yaoguang Palace and entered Changqiu Palace. Concubine Li was sincere to the Emperor and cared about the servants, so I dared to speak out."

After saying this, she lowered her head in fear.

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Ping looked sinister and didn't look at Su Wanti, while the Queen lowered her head and said nothing.

Concubine Li, on the other hand, was extremely excited.

"Now that we have all the evidence, Concubine Zhen, what else do you have to say? You practiced witchcraft in the palace and cursed the emperor. Your entire family should be executed and all nine generations of your clan should be exterminated!"

Her eyes were bloodshot and she was shaking with excitement.

Great! The evil concubine Su Wanti is finally going to be finished!

The emperor could not protect her from the art of witchcraft no matter what. Besides, how could the emperor allow people to curse him?

Concubine Li glanced at Emperor Xiao Ping and saw that his face was terribly gloomy and full of murderous intent. She felt that her plan had succeeded and her heart was about to jump out of her chest with joy!

The look in her eyes when she looked at Su Wanti became more ruthless. She felt that Su Wanti would definitely die today!

Su Wanti seemed to be greatly shocked. She fell into the chair, tears in her eyes and a bewildered look on her face. She shook her head, "Your Majesty, it wasn't me, it wasn't Wan'er who did it!"
