God favors the troublemaker, and the protagonist is forced to become evil

When Zi Ning woke up, he knew that Dongfang Yu had found out the truth.

But she chose to plead for Concubine Yin.

"Your Majesty, I lost my child because of her. How can I watch the murderer of my child go unpunished? I feel sad watching her being favored every day, Your Majesty?" Concubine Yin knew that she could not escape death today, and she had to speak out. Moreover, she had already prepared to die before doing this.

"Releasing Ningning from the cold palace is my decree of amnesty. Since I have granted amnesty, I have forgiven her sins. Besides, she has already spent a year in the cold palace living a life worse than death. Isn't that enough? Are you dissatisfied with me?" Dongfang Yu said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I dare not." Concubine Yin did not dare to speak any more.

At this moment, Dongfang Yu's face was as dark as iron. He felt that he would be sentenced to death in the next second, and he did not dare to say a word.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Concubine Yin. She is also a kind-hearted mother." Zi Ning spoke softly, pleading for Concubine Yin.

But in the eyes of Concubine Yin, it was just pretentious and disgusting.

"Ningning, why are you still speaking for her?"

Dongfang Yu was very disappointed with his son. His Ningning was too kind. She was almost childless due to someone's misfortune, but she still pleaded for others.

Forget it, just let her do as she pleases.

She definitely doesn't want to offend anyone.

"Since Ningning pleaded for you, I will forgive you this time. Come here, I will demote Lady Yin to a concubine and put her under house arrest for a month."

Yin agreed and returned to Xunfang Pavilion sobbing.

Dongfang Yu held Zining in his arms, "Ningning, you are so kind. In the harem, you must be on guard against others. You must protect yourself, okay?"

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. I will be careful in the future." Zining felt that it was not bad to be a harmless little white rabbit.

Hey.

In order to comfort Zi Ning, Dongfang Yu gave her many jewelries as rewards.

He originally wanted to promote her position, but doing so was not logical, and he was afraid that neither the former court nor the harem would agree.

The temperature was getting colder, and the days were moving forward in an orderly manner. Ever since Yin agreed to the poisoning incident, Dongfang Yu had warned the queen, asking her to manage the harem well and not to do any more dirty things.

At the morning meeting that day, three or five concubines gathered around Zi Ning to talk. Zi Ning went from being an unknown person standing in the corner to being a favored concubine praised by everyone. However, only two months had passed.

"Look at how proud she is. You can't give birth to her and still treat her like a treasure to His Majesty." Zhu Yuling deliberately said this to Concubine Jing. She knew what Concubine Jing liked to hear, so she just said it.

For some reason, the news of Zi Ning’s poisoning spread and everyone thought that Zi Ning could no longer have children.

So all the concubines were happy to curry favor with her. No matter how favored she was, a concubine without children in the harem was the most useless.

Many people gloated over her misfortune, thinking that God was indeed fair. She gained the favor of His Majesty but lost her child forever.

"Only a village woman like He Songshu is so incompetent that she allowed a palace maid to climb into her bed and gain the upper hand." Concubine Jing said disdainfully.

She is an elder in the palace and has given birth to His Majesty's eldest son. Her father is a high-ranking official of the second rank and can act with impunity in the palace.

She looked down upon Zi Ning's coquettish behavior, and even looked down upon the First-Rank Concubine.

Zhu Yuling and Xu Yinying did not respond. How could they listen to such words?

Zining also noticed their conversation. What was the virtuous concubine's name?

He Songshu?

Could it be her?

"Da Congming, can you detect other players?" Zining summoned the system in his mind.

"No, our team didn't detect any traces of other players."

Zi Ning was a little disappointed. Palace fighting was definitely most fun when played with sisters.

Pity.

After the morning meeting, Zining quickly caught up with Concubine Jing.

"Empress Jing, it seems like you don't like me very much." Zi Ning was smiling a little too proudly at this moment.

It's a bit needy.

"You know it but you still don't step down. Do you want to get slapped by me?" Concubine Jing was not willing to pretend to be friendly. She didn't even take the Queen seriously now. She followed the rules only because she was afraid that the previous dynasty would find fault with her.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to know why the eldest prince has frequent fevers?"

"What do you know?" Concubine Jing's expression became serious. Huang'er was her lifeblood now, and the support for the rest of her life. No one could joke with him.

Concubine Jing's pressure did not affect Zi Ning, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to talk here?" Zi Ning's expression at this moment could be described as shameless.

Concubine Jing was upset. Who dared to speak to her like this? Who would not speak to her in a servile manner? How dare you, a lowly maid who climbed into bed, act so arrogantly in front of me by relying on the emperor's favor?

She endured.

Since it concerns Huang'er, she endured it.

She wanted to see what tricks this slave girl could play. If she dared to fool people, she would be in trouble.

She doesn't care whether she is a favored concubine or not.

Zi Ning and Concubine Jing were standing in the aisle. With people coming and going, it was indeed not a suitable place to talk.

Concubine Jing brought Zining back to her palace and went straight to the point, asking Zining to tell her what she knew.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty is deeply favored by the Dragon, and even the precious Golden Pumpkin Tribute Tea is available for you to drink."

Concubine Jing still didn't understand something, so she reluctantly asked someone to make it for her.

Zi Ning ordered a few more dim sum that he couldn't have due to his status as a waiter, and Concubine Jing waved her hand and asked people to serve them all.

The crab roe crisps are really delicious, Zining showed off several of them.

He dawdled for a long time, had a free lunch, and took a nap before he formally began the conversation with Concubine Jing.

In fact, Concubine Jing was on the verge of exploding. She seriously suspected that this person was just here to eat and drink for free.

"Have you ever wondered, Your Majesty, why the eldest prince's fever is so difficult to reduce?" Zi Ning became serious. After all, one should be grateful to the person who brought him the gift.

Princess Jing is rich and powerful, so the food is really delicious. The dishes are beautifully presented and the ingredients are rare. The scallop and seafood porridge is so delicious that you can't help chewing your tongue.

Come again next time.

Concubine Jing did have doubts. Huang'er was in good health, and even if he had a fever, it would not keep coming back.

After that, she was always careful and Huang'er didn't have a fever again, so she thought that the fever was caused by the cold due to the large temperature difference between day and night.

"There are some." Concubine Jing thought about it, after all, the cause of the disease could not be found.

“Your Majesty, do you know what the eldest prince’s dietary restrictions are?” In ancient times, there seemed to be no concept of allergies, and they wouldn’t understand even if I told them.

"Huang'er seemed to have a rash after eating crabs last time. Yes, I remember Huang'er ate hairy crabs, mushrooms, lotus root slices, and osmanthus cake that day." Concubine Jing recalled.

"Hearing what Your Majesty said, I guess that the eldest prince may not be able to eat food with shells or seafood. In addition, the agar in the osmanthus cake will aggravate the symptoms, which is why the eldest prince has a persistent fever." Zining explained carefully.

"So, someone really wants to poison Huang'er?" Concubine Jing began to feel cold. She felt that the person behind it was very vicious.

"It is very likely someone around the queen. Otherwise, how would they know the eldest prince's eating habits. Moreover, the person who poisoned him is only testing it now. If she increased the dosage..." Zi Ning did not say anything else.
