Ah, you traveled through time too?

Lian Di and Lian Fang felt anxious and worried when they saw Jing Jing being questioned by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. They knew that Jing Jing was a kind-hearted and loyal concubine who would never betray the court. So they stood up and spoke for Jing Jing without hesitation.

Lian Di bowed to the Queen Mother and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jingjing has always been upright and loyal to the court. Sister Lianfang and I have witnessed her countless contributions to the court. I believe that this accusation was definitely not made by Concubine Jingjing."

Lian Fang also echoed, "Your Majesty, please think back to everything Concubine Jingjing has done for the court. Has she ever shown any signs of betrayal? Someone must be behind this, trying to frame her. I beg Your Majesty to give Concubine Jingjing a fair chance so that she can clear her name."

Their words were sincere and firm, mixed with their sincere concern for Jingjing and their defense of justice. But the expressions of the Queen Mother and the Emperor did not change because of this. Their doubts still existed in their hearts, and they were unwilling to easily believe Jingjing's innocence.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, her eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and entanglement. In the end, she decided to keep Jingjing in the palace temporarily, waiting for further investigation results. Facing the requests of Lian Di and Lian Fang, she could only nod silently, indicating that she would consider their requests.

At this critical moment in the palace, the support of Lian Di and Lian Fang undoubtedly brought Jing Jing a glimmer of hope and strength. They are determined not to give up and will do their best to fight for justice for Jing Jing and uncover the truth.

In the palace hall, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor sat on the dragon throne, with court ministers standing on either side. Concubine Mei, Lian Di and Lian Fang stood beside the Empress Dowager and the Emperor respectively, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Mei Fei stood upright, looking calm and composed, looking at the Queen Mother and the Emperor with a firm gaze. She took a deep breath and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know that Concubine Jingjing is in trouble now, but please think carefully about whether all this is really my fault. As a concubine, I have always been loyal to the court, and I would never do such a treacherous thing."

Lian Di and Lian Fang immediately retorted: "Mei Fei, do you think we will believe your excuse? You and the Sixth Prince have been conspiring to frame Jing Jing and try to seize the throne. We have enough evidence to prove your conspiracy!"

Mei Fei sneered: "Evidence? What evidence do you have? That's just some nonsense, it can't prove my guilt at all. I can tell you clearly that Concubine Jingjing is framing me, and you two concubines are just her accomplices."

Lian Di and Lian Fang turned pale with anger, and there was a flash of anger in their eyes, but they could not find the right words to refute. The empress dowager and the emperor frowned even more, and their hearts were full of doubts and entanglements. This argument did not bring them any enlightenment, but made them upset.

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Enough! This argument can no longer solve the problem. We need more evidence to prove who the real criminal is. I have decided to put this matter aside for the time being and wait for further investigation results."

The emperor also nodded, indicating his agreement with the empress dowager's decision. At this tense moment in the court, the confrontation between Mei Fei and Lian Di and Lian Fang had not yet ended, and the mood of the empress dowager and the emperor became even heavier and more anxious. This dispute was far from over, and the situation in the court was still turbulent.

In the palace hall, the quarrels intensified, and the emperor and the empress dowager were already becoming irritable. The debates between Mei Fei and Lian Di and Lian Fang became more and more heated, and the words were full of bad words, which gave the emperor and the empress dowager a headache.

"Enough!" The Queen Mother suddenly stopped the quarrel with a stern voice, "This dispute is meaningless. You have already made the palace a mess!"

The emperor also emphasized: "Yes, Mei Fei, Lian Di, Lian Fang, I don't want to hear your quarrels anymore. This matter is complicated enough. The Queen Mother and I are already upset and don't want to go into it any further."

Mei Fei, Lian Di and Lian Fang all stopped arguing, but their eyes were still full of hostility. The Queen Mother frowned, she felt that her mind was in a mess and she couldn't think clearly. The Emperor's face turned livid, and he realized that this quarrel was beyond their control.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now and wait for the results of the investigation." The Queen Mother finally made a decision. She felt that her energy was gradually draining away and she could no longer deal with this matter.

The emperor nodded, indicating his agreement with the queen mother's decision. The atmosphere in the entire palace hall became heavy and depressing, like the calm before a storm.

At this critical moment, the disputes within the court subsided temporarily, but everyone knew that this was only a temporary calm and the real storm might still be to come.

In a secret palace, Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince sat face to face, their faces solemn and silent.

"This incident is quite a big deal." The Sixth Prince spoke first, with a hint of anxiety in his voice. "Our plan has been greatly disrupted. Should we stop for the time being?"

Mei Fei frowned, took a deep breath, and thought for a moment before speaking: "Perhaps you have a point. The recent series of events have aroused the suspicion of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If we continue, it will only make them more vigilant."

The Sixth Prince nodded, agreeing with Concubine Mei's opinion: "Yes, we should give up this plan for now and wait for the right time to act. We can't let the Emperor and the Queen Mother discover our true purpose."

Mei Fei pondered for a moment, then continued: "But we can't give up, we must find a new opportunity. As long as Jingjing is still in the palace, she is a threat to us. We must find a way to get rid of her to ensure that our plan is not disturbed."

The Sixth Prince smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, Jingjing is our biggest hidden danger. But we need to find a safer way and can't make such a sensation. We must be careful about our tracks and can't let the emperor find any clues about us."

The two smiled at each other and decided to put the plan on hold for now and wait for the right time to act. In this dangerous palace, they knew they had to be cautious in order to preserve their status and plans.

In the silence of a palace, Lian Di and Lian Fang sat together, their brows furrowed and faces full of worry.

"We must be careful and not anger the Emperor and the Empress Dowager again." Lian Di sighed deeply, with a hint of anxiety in her tone, "We have already attracted their attention. Continuing to delve into Concubine Mei's conspiracy will only make the situation more complicated."

Lian Fang nodded: "Yes, we must keep a low profile and not touch Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince for the time being. We must always pay attention to their actions to avoid being framed by them."

Lian Di smiled bitterly and said, "But Concubine Jingjing is in danger too. We can't just ignore it. We have to find her, make her understand the current situation, and protect herself."

Lian Fang pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, we need to talk to Concubine Jingjing and tell her to be careful of the conspiracy of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince. We can't let her fall into danger."

The two decided unanimously not to delve into the disputes in the palace for the time being, but to prioritize the safety of Concubine Jingjing. In this dangerous palace, they knew they had to be cautious and protect themselves and the people around them in order to survive this storm.

Lian Di and Lian Fang walked into Concubine Jing Jing's residence and found her sitting by the window, gazing at the palace scenery with a somewhat melancholy look on her face.

"Princess Jingjing, we need to talk to you." Lianfang said softly.

Jingjing turned around and saw Lian Di and Lian Fang, and smiled slightly: "My concubines, what's the matter?"

Lian Di frowned and said in a serious tone: "Concubine Jingjing, we must remind you that the current situation is very dangerous. Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince may pose a threat to you. You must always be vigilant."

Lian Fang continued, "We are worried that you might be framed by them, so be extra careful. Don't trust anyone easily, especially those around you."

Concubine Jingjing nodded, her expression serious: "I understand, concubines. I will be careful and will not put myself in danger."

Lian Di and Lian Fang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Concubine Jing Jing had understood the seriousness of the situation. "If anything happens, be sure to tell us immediately," Lian Di said gently.

Concubine Jingjing smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful."

Lian Di and Lian Fang left Concubine Jing Jing's residence, still worried. In this palace full of conspiracy and intrigue, they knew they had to stay vigilant at all times to protect themselves and those around them.

In the palace, Lian Di and Lian Fang began to think about how to better protect Concubine Jingjing without attracting the attention of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince.

"We need to find a more secretive way to protect Concubine Jingjing." Lian Di frowned and said, "We can't let Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince realize our intentions."

Lian Fang thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can temporarily keep a distance from Concubine Jingjing to avoid arousing other people's suspicion. But we can still secretly pay attention to her safety and provide help when necessary."

Lian Di nodded: "Yes, it may be safer to do so. We can learn about Concubine Jingjing's situation through other people in the palace or in secret ways, and at the same time we can protect ourselves."

Lian Fang continued, “In addition, we can also communicate with other palace people to learn about the latest movements of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince, so that we can be prepared at any time.”

Lian Di's eyes flashed with determination: "Yes, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must actively protect ourselves and Concubine Jingjing. Only in this way can we survive in this palace full of conspiracy."

In the following days, Lian Di and Lian Fang secretly communicated with other people in the palace, trying to understand the latest movements of Concubine Mei and the Sixth Prince, while also paying close attention to the safety of Concubine Jingjing.

They carefully selected some trusted palace people and communicated with them secretly. Through these communications, they learned that Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince seemed to have temporarily given up their conspiracy against Concubine Jingjing and were looking for other opportunities to achieve their goals.

However, Lian Di and Lian Fang did not relax their vigilance. They knew that the conspiracy of Mei Fei and the Sixth Prince had not ended, but was only temporarily shelved. Therefore, they remained vigilant and paid close attention to every move in the palace.

At the same time, they also continue to keep in touch with Concubine Jingjing to ensure her safety. Although Concubine Jingjing is in the palace, she is not safe. Lian Di and Lian Fang know that only by protecting themselves and Concubine Jingjing can they survive in this treacherous and dangerous palace. Therefore, they are determined to continue working hard to protect themselves and those around them until the truth of the conspiracy comes to light.

The emperor sensed the gloom and tension in the court and decided to hold a grand banquet to ease the atmosphere and bring the royal family and the various forces in the court closer together.

He announced the banquet, announcing that it was a grand National Day banquet and invited all the princes, nobles and concubines in the palace to attend. The purpose of this banquet was not only to celebrate the National Day, but also to create a relaxed and happy atmosphere so that everyone could put aside their status and prejudices and enjoy the joy together.

In the kitchen of the palace, there was a steaming atmosphere filled with the aroma of various spices. The chefs skillfully handled various ingredients, and delicious dishes gradually took shape in their hands.
