Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Xiao Ling's straight body trembled and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Yin Shuang was quick to support her.

She looked at Emperor Tianqing, "Since she is dead and there is no evidence, then it cannot be considered as evidence. I hope the emperor will investigate it clearly. No matter what, Yinlu is still my concubine. If you say that she murdered the Crown Princess and the heir, you are talking about me. I want solid evidence, otherwise I will not accept it."

He knew that Xiao Ling was a ruthless character, and even if someone pointed the finger at her, she would be able to defend herself.

This is why Yang Zhao asked not to leave anyone alive after the interrogation.

For living people, there are too many variables; only the dead can provide the final judgment.

Emperor Tianqing's face was as dark as ink. "You want evidence? Sure. The bowl of soup for the Crown Princess is still in the Imperial Hospital. Do you want me to get you a bowl to taste?"

Xiao Ling was speechless for a moment. This was indeed evidence, and she was inextricably linked to it. She was in charge of the palace banquet, and Yin Lu was watching over it. Now that something went wrong, whether it was Yin Lu's doing or not, she needed to bear the blame.

At this time, someone came in and tried to drag Yinlu away. Yinlu struggled in panic. She knew that if she was taken out of Chaofeng Palace today, she would have no chance of survival.

Seeing that begging the emperor for mercy was no longer effective, she turned to look at Xiao Ling.

She had followed Xiao Ling for many years and knew Xiao Ling's temper well. Asking for help was of no use. With the emperor around, no matter how powerful the queen was, she could not surpass him.

"Your Majesty, I did not poison the soup. I did not harm the Crown Princess! I am loyal to the Queen."

Xiao Ling knew that his people would naturally not act against his will. Both the palace maid and the bowl of soup were part of other people's calculations.

At this moment, she was glad that the Crown Princess did not drink the bowl of soup, otherwise Emperor Tianqing would not only blame her, but would directly banish her to the cold palace.

For Emperor Tianqing, who had few children, plotting to murder the royal heir was tantamount to treason.

Xiao Ling immediately stood in front of Yin Lu and stopped the eunuch from dragging Yin Lu away.

"Yinlu is guilty, but her crime does not deserve death. I beg Your Majesty to spare her life."

At this moment, Xiao Ling felt unwilling in his heart. Why should his confidant be punished for this false charge?

Emperor Tianqing's eyes were cold. Dealing with a palace maid was nothing. What he wanted was the Queen's weakness.

She said coldly, "I can forgive her, but as for you, you are not strict with your subordinates. As the head of the six palaces, you cannot manage the harem well. In this case, you should be confined to Chaofeng Palace and reflect on yourself. The harem will be temporarily left to the Imperial Concubine."

Xiao Ling secretly clenched her fists and let her long nails break in her palms. Although it was painful, it was far less painful than Emperor Tianqing's distrust of her.

She saw clearly that Emperor Tianqing was trying to take away her power over the six palaces.

The so-called poisoning of the Crown Princess was just an excuse.

As for the truth, it doesn't matter now.

After Emperor Tianqing left, everyone kneeling in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yinlu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "It's all my fault. It's my fault that I have caused trouble for the queen, but I really didn't do anything wrong."

Xiao Ling stood up with the help of Yin Shuang, and then lowered his head to help Yin Lu, "Stop eating. No matter how much you eat, you can't get back the power of the six palaces. Besides, this matter is just a prelude. If the emperor wants to deal with our Xiao family, he can always find an excuse. If there is no this one, there will be another one. You get up first."

Yinlu stood up from the ground, and she and Yinshuang helped Xiao Ling sit down on the couch, one on each side.

Xiao Ling said, "Someone is trying to harm me. No matter who that person is, I will find her out. Yinlu, tell me everything that happened before and after the palace banquet."

If the emperor doesn't give her the opportunity to verify, will she just sit there and wait for death? No, she must take back the power she has lost.

Emperor Tianqing had allowed Yan Ci to go home because of the New Year. He did not have to serve in the palace next year, but he could still attend court as a deputy minister.

Xiao Ling's straight body trembled and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Yin Shuang was quick to support her.

She looked at Emperor Tianqing, "Since she is dead and there is no evidence, then it cannot be considered as evidence. I hope the emperor will investigate it clearly.
