Concubine Xian was just feeling aggrieved, but after being persuaded by Concubine Jia, her aggrieved feeling instantly turned into jealousy.

She was also ill, but the emperor only went to see Concubine Yan and forgot about her. Concubine Yan had just entered the palace, but she had already taken away her weight in the emperor's heart. As time went on, wouldn't the emperor have even less room for her in his heart?

Just by looking at the changes in Concubine Xian's expression, Concubine Jia could guess what she was thinking, and continued to advise, "No matter how beautiful Concubine Yan is, there will be a day when people will get tired of her. Sister, please don't hate the emperor. The emperor was just bewitched for a while. When he sees Concubine Yan's true cruel face in the future, he will definitely not favor her anymore."

Concubine Xian nodded angrily, "Sister is right, the emperor was just confused for a moment, he definitely doesn't really like Concubine Yan."

Jiapin resisted the urge to hold her forehead. She was about to point out the point, but the idiot in front of her couldn't grasp the main point.

Concubine Xian's hands suffered from itching for no reason. Although there is no evidence that Concubine Yan poisoned her, Concubine Xian was detoxified after taking Concubine Yan's antidote, which is enough to prove that Concubine Yan poisoned her.

Poisoning and persecuting others among concubines is a serious crime. Even though a great opportunity was right in front of her, Concubine Xian didn't even think of taking advantage of it to take half of Concubine Yan's life, and she was still only concerned about love.

"Sister, you are right. In the emperor's heart, sister will always be the first one, and no one can replace you." Jiapin looked at Xianfei's right hand casually, "Sister's hand is still swollen. Can an antidote completely cure the poison? Will the poison recur?"

The virtuous concubine raised her hand and took a closer look. "It's completely gone now. It shouldn't come back!"

If she felt it carefully, her palms still felt a little itchy. She was not sure whether she should lick her face and ask Concubine Yan for an antidote.

No, why should she lower herself to ask Concubine Yan for the antidote? It was Concubine Yan who poisoned her and made her suffer so much. Concubine Yan should kowtow to her and beg for mercy.

Moreover, if the emperor knew about Concubine Yan’s vicious behavior, he would definitely not favor such a vicious woman again.

The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good opportunity to overthrow Concubine Yan, so she ignored Nanny Qin's dissuasion and rushed to Changchun Palace in a hurry.

Yan Muwan saw that Concubine Xian, who was supposed to be under house arrest, ran out of Yuhua Palace again without permission. She frowned and was struggling over whether to show her authority and scold her. Then she listened to Concubine Xian talking on and on, telling her the whole story of how Yan Muxi poisoned her and gave her the antidote.

Yan Muwan became even more conflicted after hearing this. Not to mention that Concubine Yan was her elder sister, the emperor's attitude towards Concubine Yan was very strange. She didn't dare to help Concubine Xian deal with Concubine Yan.

"I was brutally poisoned and nearly lost my hand. Queen, you are the master of the palace and you must make the decision for me." Concubine Xian spoke in an aggressive tone.

Yan Muwan thought about it and chose to trust her intuition and not help Concubine Xian deal with Concubine Yan. However, it would be difficult to deal with the aggressive Concubine Xian in front of her.

She took a deep breath and pretended to be tough. "It is a serious crime for a concubine to poison someone in the harem. I cannot just believe your one-sided words. Concubine Yan is still ill, so it is not appropriate to summon her to Changchun Palace for questioning. It would be better to wait until Concubine Yan gets better, and then I will ask her about this matter in detail."

"The Queen cannot favor Concubine Yan just because she is her cousin. The emperor is subject to the same punishment as common people when he breaks the law. Concubine Yan has committed an unforgivable crime. Not to mention that she is just sick, even if she still has a breath left, she should receive the punishment she deserves."

Although Concubine Xian's tone was domineering, her words made sense. As the mistress of a palace, Yan Muwan should shoulder the responsibilities of a queen when concubines were persecuted, find out the truth and seek justice for the victims.

Seeing Yan Muwan was in a dilemma and couldn't make up her mind, Jiapin spoke at the right time, "All the concubines in the harem are sisters who serve the emperor. They see each other every day. If they make a mistake and wrongly accuse Concubine Yan, it will be embarrassing for everyone. But the matter of Concubine Xian being persecuted can't be let go like this. Why don't the Queen thoroughly investigate all the people who had contact with Concubine Xian that day? This way it won't be targeted at Concubine Yan."

The ladder was already in front of her, and Yan Muwan could no longer refuse or defend herself. She could only agree to a thorough investigation of the harem affairs. At the same time, she sent someone to the Qianqing Palace to inform the emperor, thinking that if something was found out from the Jinxiu Palace, she would be able to hand over the decision-making power to deal with Concubine Yan.

The Queen personally led people to investigate, first from Defei's palace, then Jiapin's residence, and finally to Jinxiu Palace.

Yan Muxi had a full meal and was feeling bored with nothing to do. He then learned that the Queen had brought people to search the palace. She ordered the palace servants to open the palace door and happily welcomed the group of people into the palace.

When Concubine Xian saw Yan Muxi's beautiful face like the bright moon, she couldn't help feeling guilty. When she asked for the antidote in the morning, she promised not to cause trouble, but she went back on her word in less than a day.

It was not until the palace maids found a small box full of antidotes in Concubine Yan's dressing table that her guilty conscience immediately disappeared.

There are so many antidotes. Concubine Yan is so arrogant. If she doesn't report it, who knows how many more people will be persecuted by the other party.

Yan Muwan ordered the palace servants to bring the box to Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, please take a closer look. Is this medicine the antidote for the strange disease?"

The virtuous concubine nodded affirmatively, "Yes, this is the antidote that I took this morning, the smell and shape are exactly the same. The evidence is irrefutable, please Queen, please help me and punish this poisonous woman."

Hearing this, Yan Muwan's heart also rose with joy. She was eager to know whether the emperor would treat her fairly if he knew about Concubine Yan's evil deeds.

Even if the emperor cannot deal with it fairly, she will feel better if Concubine Yan is punished.

On the other hand, the person involved, Yan Muxi, did not seem to be panicked except for coughing from time to time.

The Defei and others who came to watch the fun couldn't help but feel confused. They couldn't guess whether Concubine Yan had her own plan, or was so arrogant that she thought the emperor would protect her even if she made a serious mistake.

Yan Muwan suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Concubine Xian. It won't be too late to interrogate Concubine Yan if she is guilty after the imperial physician has examined her."

The imperial physician was checking the pills in the box when Yu Jinzhou hurried over. After entering the room, his eyes fell on Yan Muxi. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he felt a little relieved.

With Concubine Yan's scheming and tactics, it would be impossible for her to be easily caught by others, but he was worried that Yan Muxi was deliberately luring him into a trap and wanted to go all out to force him to lose her favor.

The victim was Concubine Xian. If it was confirmed that Concubine Yan poisoned and persecuted Concubine Xian, even if he was the emperor, he would have to maintain justice and would have to punish Concubine Yan.

The emperor visited the harem twice in one day, both times for the same person. The concubines were shocked, but also felt jealous.

Especially the virtuous concubine, she waited for a long time but the emperor didn't even look at her. When she thought about how it happened before, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved and her eyes turned red.

Brother Emperor clearly said that he loved her the most, but now, only a year has passed, has he already liked other women more?
