Ah, you traveled through time too?

Li Yunqing looked up at Lian Di and Lian Fang and said seriously, "We must bring Lin Er to the emperor and let her explain everything."

Lian Di and Lian Fang nodded in agreement. They knew that the most important thing now was to present the truth of the matter to the emperor so that he could understand the true face of Concubine Mei.

Li Yunqing continued, "We need to protect Lin'er and not let Concubine Mei and her men hurt her."

Lian Di took a deep breath and said with full determination: "Lin'er is the victim of this conspiracy. We will definitely protect her."

Lian Fang also echoed: "Yes, we will do our best to protect Lin'er's safety."

After Lian Di, Lian Fang and Li Yun Qing left in a hurry, they came to Lin Er's residence. Lian Di knocked on the door, and Lin Er opened the door after a moment's hesitation, looking at them in surprise.

Lian Di said anxiously: "Lin'er, we need your help. We have found important clues about this conspiracy, and now we must bring you to the emperor."

Lin'er was a little hesitant, but with Lianfang's comfort, she finally agreed.

Li Yunqing stepped forward and said seriously: "Lin'er, your courage and honesty will help us uncover the truth of this conspiracy. You can trust us, we will protect you."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Lin'er's eyes, and she nodded, indicating that she was willing to cooperate with the investigation.

The three of them left in a hurry with Lin'er, heading towards the palace. They knew that time was very tight and every minute and every second could affect the outcome of the case.

Lin'er was hesitant. She felt threatened by Concubine Mei and knew that if she stood up to testify against Concubine Mei, it might cause even greater trouble. Although she knew that she was helping the royal family to uncover the truth, facing Concubine Mei's threats, her heart was filled with fear and struggle. She was worried about the safety of herself and her family, but she also felt helpless and confused. In this tangled mood, Lin'er felt tremendous pressure and struggle, and didn't know how to make a decision.

The three of them brought Lin'er to the emperor and asked for a confrontation. The imperial physician Li Yunqing and the protagonists stood behind Lin'er, showing their support and trust. Mei Fei was called to face this situation. She looked uneasy, but tried her best to pretend to be calm. The emperor frowned and looked serious. He knew that this was an important moment and he had to listen carefully to everyone's statement.

"Lin'er, is what you said true?" The emperor's voice was low and serious, revealing a hint of an attitude that could not be questioned.

Lin'er looked at the emperor steadily. Although her voice was weak, it was full of determination and courage. "Your Majesty, please believe me. What I said is the truth. I did not wrongly accuse Concubine Mei out of jealousy, but to make the truth known, to protect the emperor and the queen, and our great royal family."

Mei Fei frowned slightly when she heard this, but she tried to remain calm: "Your Majesty, although I know that this maid has said some inappropriate things before, she has now been bewitched and said such a ridiculous thing. Your Majesty, how could you believe this nonsense?"

Imperial Physician Li Yunqing stepped forward and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I have investigated this matter and there are indeed doubts about it. Moreover, we have found some clues that prove that Concubine Mei is indeed involved."

The emperor pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "In this case, I will order an immediate investigation of Concubine Mei. If it is found that there is any violation of the rules, I will not tolerate it!"

Mei Fei's face turned even paler, but she still tried to maintain her attitude: "Your Majesty, I have never had such an idea. I hope Your Majesty can understand!"

Mei Fei: "Lin'er, look at what this is? Do you remember it?"

Lin'er raised her head and her eyes fell on the object in Concubine Mei's hand. Suddenly, her face changed drastically, and fear and pain appeared in her eyes.

Lin Er: "This... these are my parents' things! How did they end up in your hands?"

Mei Fei: "Yes, they are in my hands. If you don't want to see them suffer misfortune, you'd better tell the emperor honestly that you are the culprit of the poisoning."

Lin'er's heart trembled. She understood what Concubine Mei meant, so she could only grit her teeth and admit, "Yes, I poisoned her. I poisoned Hui'er!"

Mei Fei smiled with satisfaction, but her heart was filled with gloom. She knew that such a victory was only temporary, and the emperor would eventually discover the truth, and she would face an even more severe situation.

Lian Di: "Mei Fei, you are so despicable! You actually used such a despicable method to force an innocent girl."

Lian Fang: "Yes, what you did is outrageous enough!"

Mei Fei: "Haha, do you still expect me to confess like this? I don't have any evidence, why do you want me to admit it?"

Lian Di: "We will definitely find evidence and make sure your despicable behavior gets the punishment it deserves!"

Lian Fang: "Don't think you can get away with it forever. The Emperor will definitely get to the bottom of the matter!"

Concubine Mei sneered, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. She knew that she was in a desperate situation, but she would never give in easily.

The emperor was confused, and he couldn't be sure who was the real culprit. Mei Fei and Lin Er were both suspicious, but he didn't have enough evidence to conclude that one of them was the real culprit. He was anxious, frowning, thinking about how to find the truth.

The Emperor (secretly speculating): "Is it Mei Fei or Lin Er? How can I be sure?"

He felt deeply struggling and confused, and his heart was very conflicted. This problem made him feel unprecedentedly powerless. He longed to find the answer, but he didn't know where to start.

Lin'er suddenly felt a pain in her heart, she knew that if she didn't admit it, her parents' lives would be threatened. Her eyes were wet, but she knew she had to make a difficult choice.

Lin Er (with a trembling voice): "Yes, Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was me who poisoned you."

Her voice was choked with sobs, but her eyes were firm and resolute. She decided to sacrifice herself to keep her parents safe. This choice made her heart ache, but she thought it was the only way out.

When Concubine Mei heard Lin'er's admission, she felt a surge of triumph in her heart. She turned to the emperor and said with a firm look in her eyes:

Mei Fei: "Your Majesty, I have long suspected Lin Er. She and Hui Er have always been at odds, so her behavior this time is not surprising."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a moment, looking hesitant. He looked at Lian Di and Lian Fang and asked:

Emperor: “What do you think about this?”

Lian Di's heart trembled. She knew she had to answer carefully. She stood up and said with a firm look:

Lian Di: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt. Lin Er was forced to admit it. Mei Fei threatened her family, and she had no choice."

Lianfang also stood beside Liandi and added:

Lian Fang: "Yes, Your Majesty. We should investigate the truth and not jump to conclusions."

When Concubine Mei heard Lian Di and Lian Fang's rebuttal, she showed a hint of displeasure on her face. She sneered, stared at the protagonists with a gloomy look, and said contemptuously:

Mei Fei: "How dare you, servants, question me? Have you forgotten that I am the Emperor's concubine?"

In the face of Mei Fei's strong attitude, the emperor fell into deep thought. He knew that this was a sensitive moment and must be handled with caution.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

Emperor: "Mei Fei, I will consider your words. But we can't jump to conclusions easily. Lin'er, are you telling the truth?"

Lin'er's face turned pale. She knew her parents were in Mei Fei's hands and there was no turning back. She hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and whispered:

Lin Er: "Yes, Your Majesty. I admit that I was jealous of Hui Er and I was the one who poisoned her."

Hearing Lin'er's admission, Mei Fei showed a proud smile, she knew she had won. But Lian Di and Lian Fang were still unwilling to believe it easily. They knew that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

Lian Di stood up and said firmly:

Lian Di: "Your Majesty, please be cautious. This matter is too hasty, and we need more evidence."

Lian Fang followed suit and added:

Lian Fang: "Yes, Your Majesty. We cannot easily convict him. We must conduct a more in-depth investigation."

Seeing this, Mei Fei's face suddenly darkened. She knew that her plan had encountered a challenge and she had to find a way to resolve this crisis.

A cruel light flashed in Mei Fei's eyes. She knew that Lin'er had become a trump card in her hand. She took a deep breath and decided to continue to exert her strength.

Mei Fei: "Since Lin Er has already admitted it, let's not waste any more time. Your Majesty, I ask you to quickly convict him to calm the public anger."

The emperor fell into deep thought, frowning. But at this moment, a cry of surprise was heard.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Lin'er standing there in shock, her hands covering her chest, blood seeping from between her fingers. She trembled and spoke the last few words with difficulty:

Lin'er: "Dad, Mom...I'm sorry..."

After she finished speaking, her body fell to the ground with a bang, and her blood dyed the palace ground red. Everyone was shocked by this sudden scene, even Concubine Mei was stunned.

The emperor immediately ordered Lin'er to be sent to a doctor for treatment and sent someone to investigate the cause of the incident. His eyes were filled with guilt and anxiety.

The Emperor: "Quick, call the imperial physician immediately. Lin'er is injured and must be treated."

The emperor anxiously ordered the guards to send Lin'er to the Imperial Hospital and sent someone to investigate why Lin'er was suddenly injured. Concubine Mei was in a very complicated mood. She was anxious inside, but on the surface she tried her best to remain calm.

Mei Fei: "Your Majesty, I have wrongly blamed Lin'er for all this. She was not the one who poisoned the person. She must have done this because of her inner guilt."

Mei Fei's words were full of grievance and helplessness, but no one present believed her. The Queen Mother frowned, she knew that this matter was not simple and must be handled with caution.

Queen Mother: "Mei Fei, you suspected Lin Er was the one who poisoned her, and now that she is injured, you say she is innocent. What are you thinking?"

Concubine Mei felt flustered when faced with the Queen Mother's questioning, but she still tried to maintain a calm expression.

Mei Fei: "Your Highness, I did doubt Lin'er, but now it seems that I was wrong. Lin'er was not the one who poisoned her. I was confused for a moment and misunderstood her."

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Mei deeply. She knew that this matter was not simple, but the most important thing at the moment was to treat Lin'er's injuries. She turned around and ordered the guards to send Lin'er to the Imperial Hospital immediately, and sent someone to notify the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother: "Immediately send Lin'er to the Imperial Hospital and order the imperial physician to treat her with all his strength. We will discuss this matter later."

Everyone agreed to it, and even Concubine Mei could not refute it. The current situation was already very unfavorable to her, and the Queen Mother's decision was the wisest choice.

In the palace at night, there was silence. Lin'er was sent to the Imperial Hospital for treatment, but the atmosphere in the palace was still tense. No one could predict the future.

In the bedroom of Concubine Mei deep in the palace, Concubine Mei sat on the brocade couch, silently thinking about the situation in front of her. Her brows were furrowed, and her heart was filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

Mei Fei (talking to herself): "This is all becoming too complicated. Lin Er has confessed to the Emperor, and the Queen Mother is beginning to doubt me."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Mei Fei knew that the most important thing at the moment was to protect herself and not let anyone find out that she was the manipulator behind the scenes.
