When I opened my eyes, Zhen Huan knelt in front of me and had a miscarriage

"My son learned that Ling'er was originally just a maid who was responsible for sweeping and patrolling. Because Li said that no one was taking care of her, Empress Li gave her to Li to serve her personally. Many maids in the side halls had a hard time getting along with Li, but Ling'er was very good at boasting and flattering, and she often made Li happy, and she listened to her on many things."

The Fourth Prince spoke slowly.

Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow, sensing something strange, "What else?"

"Ling'er is very cautious and rarely talks to the palace maids. I just asked her and found out that one night Ling'er seemed to be embroidering something that looked very much like the rag doll we found today."

Nian Shilan frowned, and suddenly thought of something, "You mean to say that the evidence found today was not made by Li himself?"

Before the Fourth Prince could answer, he suddenly heard Songzhi's voice coming from outside.

And the woman's cry.

"My lady, my lady, you cannot go in. Our queen is discussing matters with the fourth prince."

The crying woman was naturally Concubine Li.

Noble Lady Li ignored the attempts to stop her and knelt on the ground, crying, "My Lady, please save my mother. My mother would never do such a disrespectful thing. It must be someone who framed her. My Lady, please forgive me!"

After saying this, he knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

This made Songzhi and Mohua standing by very anxious.

"My lady, please don't be like this. If there is no reason, the emperor will definitely release your wife. You are pregnant and you can't stand this torture now!"

Songzhi hurried to help her up.

In the past two days, she has heard that Concubine Li is not feeling well and has severe morning sickness.

She was not really worried about the baby in Li Guiren's belly, but she was afraid that she would use too much force. If the child died in Yiku Palace, her queen would not be able to escape responsibility.

But Concubine Li refused to listen to anyone's advice.

She knelt on the ground, her eyes swollen from crying.

Now that her mother who gave birth to her and raised her is being imprisoned and suffering in the Ministry of Punishment, how can she live in peace?

No matter how unruly her mother usually was, she couldn't ignore her mother at this moment.

Inside the palace, Nian Shilan sighed.

The Fourth Prince looked outside the door and lowered his head to ask what Nian Shilan meant.

"Mother..."

"You go out first. You and Songzhi go to the Ministry of Punishment together and tell them that I have ordered you to bring Li back to Yikun Palace. I want to try her myself."

The fourth prince bowed and said, "Yes."

Nian Shilan thought of something again and called him, "Wait."

"Does mother have any other instructions?"

"Bring Ling'er here as well. Have someone quietly search for her things. Ask the palace maids who share the same room with her if there are any embroidered silk items that she has handled, and bring them along as well."

A glimmer of understanding flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes, "Yes."

After saying that, he immediately pushed the door open and went out. While standing at the door, he said something to Concubine Li.

"Madam Li, please come in."

After hearing this, Mo Hua immediately helped Concubine Li up carefully and walked her into the palace.

As soon as she entered the hall, she pretended to kneel down.

"No need to kneel. If you kneel, the gold ingot in your belly will be damaged. No one can save your mother."

Hearing this, Concubine Li no longer dared to kneel.

She looked sad and her voice was a little hoarse from crying. "My Lady, this is all my fault. Please save my mother. If you can save her, my Li family will serve you like a slave in this life or the next!"

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know how to persuade Nian Shilan to help her.

That's all I can say.

"You are indeed wrong, but you can't stand someone's deliberate assassination." Nian Shilan took a sip of tea calmly and motioned Songzhi to take a seat.

Concubine Li felt very uncomfortable sitting next to her, which was in stark contrast to her calmness.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that someone deliberately framed my mother to do this? Is it possible for my mother to get out safely?"

Nian Shilan glanced at her, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"Since it has already happened, it is already difficult for your mother to come out alive with only a layer of skin peeled off. Don't dream of it as if it never happened."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li immediately became worried.

"But didn't the queen also say that someone deliberately murdered my mother? Why..."

"It's not as simple as you think. If I'm not mistaken, the Queen's plan is to use the poison water in the Buddha statue to weaken your body, and then use this incident as an excuse to make you unstable and this pregnancy will definitely fail."

"In this case, you can only blame yourself for not being lucky enough to keep the baby in your belly."

When these words came out, Concubine Li felt as if she was struck by lightning.

Only then did she understand why the Queen asked her mother to enter the palace to accompany her.

Suddenly I felt how ridiculous I was.

"The noble concubine, the concubine..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything more." Nian Shilan looked up at her and put down the teacup.

Looking at Concubine Li's pale face, she tried her best to make her tone sound calmer.

"Since the things have been searched out of her room, I will not care about anything else. Your mother must suffer some physical pain. She cursed me. Whether it was a traitor's frame-up or she did it on purpose, it is inevitable. Otherwise, the emperor will not be able to calm down. I will spare your mother's life and send her out of the palace and back to the Li family."

"Your Majesty... Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your great kindness will be forever unforgettable to the Li family."

Without further ado, Concubine Li knelt down immediately and saluted towards Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan nodded slightly, but there was another meaning in her eyes.

She thought what Concubine Li said just now was good.

If the Li family remembers her kindness, then General Li of the Cavalry Battalion will definitely remember it as well.

After that, she became much more convenient in doing things.

Suddenly, the voice of the Fourth Prince and the crying of a woman were heard outside the hall.

Nian Shilan immediately ordered Songzhi, "Take Concubine Li to the inner room. She cannot bear to see such bloody scenes."

"Yes. Lady Li, please follow me."

Concubine Li frowned and thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and followed Songzhi to the inner room.

She could only listen quietly behind the door curtain.

At this time, the Fourth Prince brought Li into the hall.

Li had been tortured badly in the Ministry of Punishment and was already dying, with his flesh and blood all over his body.

He still had a breath left and could still speak.

The most powerful one is the Jingqi Ma Ma in the Ministry of Punishment.

Things can be dug out from a dead person's mouth, let alone a cowardly and useless living person like Li.

"Mother, the person is here."

"Very good, has the Emperor's death decree come down?"

Nian Shilan asked, his eyes examining Li.

Sure enough, when Li heard the word "execution", she burst into tears and shook her head desperately, saying something.

It's just that her mouth was temporarily blocked to prevent her from talking nonsense and biting her tongue to commit suicide.

The Fourth Prince nodded. "When my son went there, Eunuch Su happened to have just arrived. My son told Eunuch Su what my mother wanted and asked him to hand the person over to my mother. Eunuch Su was a little embarrassed at first, but my son said that for someone as vicious as Li, my mother just wanted to get to the bottom of it and would probably not let her live."
