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

Zi Ning quickly told Dongfang Yu what happened that day. Otherwise, why would Dongfang Yu suspect her? Why did she go to see Concubine Zhu and Concubine Zhu went to apologize right after she went to see her?

You still have to maintain your little white rabbit character.

"This...this..." Licorice's little mouth moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

She had never experienced such a scene before. Zi Ning pulled her mouth skillfully, and her upper and lower lips touched, and the shit pot fell directly on her head.

I've told you everything, what can I say?

"Call Concubine Zhu over. It doesn't look right to ask a palace maid to come and talk to you." Dongfang Yu gave the order, and Zhang Fuquan sent someone to call her.

"Don't worry, wait for me to call the people over, and then the two sides can just confront each other." Dongfang Yu looked at the person in his arms with tears about to fall, his eyes slightly frowned, and he felt extremely distressed. He held the person in his arms and comforted her again and again.

Gancao felt very uncomfortable. His Majesty doted on Concubine Rou so much, what should he do when the master came? There was no point in confrontation.

Zhupin was invited over, her face was blue, obviously from the cold. When she came to Zining's warm and even hot room, she sneezed several times because she was not used to it.

"Princess Zhu, your maid said that Concubine Rou stole your charcoal. Is that true?" Dongfang Yu went straight to the point.

Concubine Zhu glanced at Gan Cao who was kneeling beside her and replied, "Your Majesty, I gave it to Sister Roupin myself. When she saw it that day, she loved it very much, and because of the guilt in her heart, she..."

Concubine Zhu was already at the end of her strength and was on the verge of collapse. She didn't even know how she could say such words.

She didn't dare to offend Zi Ning, and she didn't have time to visit Concubine Jing recently, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

"Why do you and your maid stick to different opinions?" Dongfang Yu hated people with evil intentions the most, and what made him feel bad was that there seemed to be a trend in the harem, and a storm was about to come.

He felt that Concubine Zhu had made a surprise move against Zining, and it was true that it was difficult to change one's nature.

If Zi Ning knew what Dongfang Yu was thinking, he would just want to clap and shout,

It’s great, wonderful, and awesome.

Zhu Bin closed her eyes and refused to look at the licorice. Although she felt reluctant, she was now at the mercy of others and could only cut off her tail to survive.

"I was not strict with my subordinates. Gan Cao thought that there was a dispute between me and Concubine Rou, so I took the initiative. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

Concubine Zhu felt like she had aged ten years overnight. Life was so difficult.

"Concubine Zhu was not strict with her subordinates and was confined to her house for three months; Gan Cao was spreading rumors and was beaten to death." Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth.

It is no longer known whether it was Gancao's own initiative or Concubine Zhu's instruction.

"Your Majesty! Gancao has followed me for many years. It's because of me that she did something wrong because she was loyal to her master. Your Majesty, please spare her life!" Concubine Zhu fell to the ground crying. She was really anxious now.

Licorice has followed me since she was a child. She grew up with me, entered the palace with me, and has been with me for so many years. I can't just watch her die.

"Roupin, please speak a few good words to His Majesty and spare Gancao's life. It was all my fault before, I didn't do well..." Zhupin crawled to Zining, hugged her calves and begged.

If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?

But Zi Ning doesn't want to go down a dead end, and his character cannot collapse.

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to kill any living beings these days. We should accumulate blessings for our child." Zi Ning tugged at the corner of Dongfang Yu's clothes, then touched her belly. Her eyes narrowed into crescents from smiling, and she looked very cute and lovely.

"Ningning, are you pregnant? When did it happen? Why didn't anyone come to report to me?" Dongfang Yu was overjoyed. There had been no crying of a baby in the palace for a long time.

Zi Ning blushed shyly, lowered her head, and said coyly, "Imperial Physician Shen said that my pregnancy is not good, and it is best to wait until the baby is three months old before announcing it, otherwise, I am afraid it will be a false alarm. I just thought that today seems to be exactly three months, Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay, okay, Ningning is really doing well." Dongfang Yu happily picked up Zining. He originally wanted to carry Zining around the bedroom, but then he found two people kneeling on the ground.

He held Zining and sat down again. "Since Concubine Rou has pleaded for you, let's change it to fifty strokes of the cane. Go."

Dongfang Yu waved his hand and started to drive people away.

Kneeling in a row here is really an eyesore.

Gancao was taken to the Ministry of Punishment for execution. Concubine Zhu followed him out of worry. She took out a lot of silver and bribed Gancao to save his life.

She was filled with hatred. Even after Gancao had done what he did, His Majesty did not return her charcoal. He even did not pursue the matter when her meals were treated harshly. After all, she had been with him for so many years, so why was he so heartless to her?

I only see the new people laughing, but not the old people crying.

Wei Zining, just wait and see how long you can remain so proud.

Because Zi Ning was pregnant, Dongfang Yu issued an edict to promote her, and she is now Ronghua.

Although the Queen Mother was dissatisfied, she did not say anything because Zi Ning was pregnant.

After hearing about this, Yin Yun was released from house arrest and rushed over to congratulate Zining, "Ronghua, I misunderstood you before, and I'm... sorry. Now the truth is out, it turned out to be Concubine Zhu! This vicious woman!"

Yin Da Ying hated evil and started cursing Concubine Zhu in front of Zi Ning, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Stop, stop. Your Majesty did not say it was Concubine Zhu. Concubine Zhu just framed me. The real murderer is someone else. But it happened too long ago and it is difficult to investigate." Concubine Yin seemed a little stupid and stubborn.

With her personality, it seems that she would come directly and stab someone instead of using a roundabout tactic like drugging herself.

Is there someone behind this?

Zining raised his own questions.

Yin agreed and thought for a while before saying a name.

Concubine Xu.

"No wonder the red musk powder came into my hands so easily." Yin Da Ying woke up as if from a dream.

At that time, Concubine Xu often told herself that the murderer Zining was at large and was frequently promoted, stepping on her head.

She might have been jealous or unwilling at the time, so she was instigated by her to drug Zining.

Zi Ning narrowed his eyes and silently said in his heart: Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu was also from Concubine Jing's camp, and her father also worked under Concubine Jing's father, in the same situation as Concubine Zhu.

She can be considered an old hand in the harem. She is twenty-five years old this year and has no children. She has accumulated seniority and has risen to the position of Concubine.

Maybe she was just jealous of her favor, so she borrowed Yin's knife to kill someone.

But you have to be careful with this person in the future, he seems to be very scheming.

Zi Ning and Yin Cheng agreed with Yin Wenxue, and after a few interactions, they became people who had a say.

Yin promised that Yin Wenxue's family would go to many places on business. Because her family was wealthy and she was the youngest daughter, she was straightforward and generous, without any twists and turns, and they were very happy to get along.

After Gan Cao’s commotion, Zi Ning didn’t want to make things too extreme, so he asked someone to send some charcoal over.

But it's just black charcoal, don't even think about getting good quality red radish charcoal.

Concubine Zhu was happy that there was finally charcoal fire, otherwise she was really afraid that Gancao would not survive the winter; but she was worried that the charcoal fire would be too choking.
