Ah, you traveled through time too?

Li Yunqing hurried to Mei Fei's bedroom, full of anticipation and nervousness. He knew that if he could find the source of the poison, he would be able to uncover the truth of the conspiracy.

When he arrived at Concubine Mei's bedroom, a strange smell hit him in the face, as if hinting at some ominous premonition.

"This is Concubine Mei's bedroom." Li Yunqing thought to himself. He took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door of the bedroom.

The bedroom was dark and quiet, with only the faint candlelight flickering, making everything seem hazy and mysterious.

Li Yunqing carefully searched every corner, trying to find clues related to the poison. Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a corner of the bedroom, where there was a trace of green on the ground.

"What is this?" Li Yunqing's heart moved, he bent down and carefully observed the traces on the ground.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Doctor Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Yunqing looked up and saw a palace maid standing at the door with a look of vigilance in her eyes.

"I'm here to look for clues." Li Yunqing answered frankly, "Who are you?"

The maid replied nervously, "I am Mei Fei's maid, my name is Lin'er."

Li Yunqing's heart moved. He knew that this Lin'er might have important information. He asked, "Lin'er, do you know what happened here?"

Lin'er shook her head hesitantly, but she didn't dare look directly into Li Yunqing's eyes.

"If you know anything, you'd better tell me." Li Yunqing said sternly, "Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Lin Er was shocked when she heard what Li Yunqing said. She knew it was impossible to keep it a secret any longer. So she whispered, "It was Concubine Mei who asked me to secretly pour poison into the palace."

Li Yunqing was shocked when he heard this. He continued to ask, "Where did the poison come from?"

Lin Er replied in a low voice: "It was given to me by Concubine Mei herself. She said she brought it back from the Western Regions. It is a poison called Shadow Flower."

When Li Yunqing heard the name, his heart moved. He knew that this might be a key clue. He thanked Lin'er and left in a hurry, ready to continue his investigation.

In the fog of this conspiracy, Li Yunqing felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

After Mei Fei learned of Lin Er's betrayal, she immediately ordered the arrest of Lin Er's parents and threatened to take severe punishment against them. Under such coercion, Lin Er was forced to admit her crime, but she still insisted that it was Mei Fei's order.

"It was your own jealousy that caused you to poison me!" Concubine Mei sneered and blamed Lin'er, "You framed me for your own selfish desires, and now you are deceiving the emperor and the queen mother!"

"No, I didn't!" Lin'er defended with tears in her eyes, "You gave me the poison yourself, and you asked me to use it to poison others! I dare not disobey your order!"

Concubine Mei looked at Lin'er angrily. She knew that if Lin'er insisted on pleading guilty, her conspiracy would completely fail.

"You bitch!" Mei Fei was furious. "You dare to frame me, wait and see how I deal with you!"

Under Mei Fei's threat, Lin'er was forced to retract her previous statement. She could only sadly admit her crime, while Mei Fei smiled triumphantly.

"Do you understand now?" Mei Fei said coldly, "Don't think about escaping responsibility, otherwise your family will suffer."

Mei Fei glared at Lin'er in front of her and said word by word: "Remember, if the emperor asks, you must say that you poisoned Hui'er out of jealousy. Otherwise, your parents will not be safe."

Lin'er was shocked by Mei Fei's words. She felt extremely wronged and couldn't help but shed tears. "You...how could you treat me like this...I never thought of hurting others...I just wanted to fight for a stable life for my parents..."

"A stable life?" Mei Fei sneered, "How can you lowly people like you deserve a stable life! As long as you are obedient, I guarantee that your whole family will be safe."

After hearing what Mei Fei said, Lin Er felt even more desperate and wronged. She knew that she had been forced into a desperate situation and could not escape Mei Fei's control no matter what. Tears blurred her vision, and she whispered and swallowed the bitter grievance.
