Ying Fei calmed down, looked at the ball and sneered, "How could that be possible? The princess didn't mean it, but I'm afraid it would hurt the baby. From now on, the princess should go out and play!"

Princess Xiping agreed readily and looked at Ji Siyue and Li Chengxing.

They both blinked together.

Princess Xiping took them to say goodbye.

"Sure?"

Li Chengxing nodded: "If she really treasures the child so much, she wouldn't subconsciously protect her face. She must be pregnant."

Princess Xiping thought the same thing, and nodded coldly at Ji Siyue and Li Chengxing: "Okay, you guys go out, I'll go find my mother to arrange the rest."

Who knew that the Queen had already arranged for her confidant? The palace maid saw it clearly and went to tell the Queen first.

When the queen heard this, she believed it and was happy.

But he heard Princess Xiping coming. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ji Siyue and Li Chengxing following behind him. He was a little confused, but soon came out to greet them with a smile.

"Hey, you brought a friend with you."

Princess Xiping sat down and blinked at the Queen.

The queen ordered the palace maids and servants to go down and guard the door.

"Do the two young ladies have something to say to me?"

The Queen spoke first with a smile.

Ji Siyue stood up and saluted respectfully. The queen waved her hand and said, "It's not just a formality. Did the adults at home ask you to deliver a message?"

Ji Siyue nodded and looked up at the Queen: "My mother said that if she found out that Concubine Ying was faking her pregnancy, she would ask the Queen to investigate thoroughly. Marquis Yongyi is ambitious to climb up the Wang family of Langya, and Your Majesty is also wary of him."

"If the Queen can help solve the problem, my father will definitely mention the Queen's assistance when reporting back."

The queen heard this and smiled slightly, "Good boy, as the master of the harem, if there is such a thing, I will naturally investigate it, don't worry."

Ji Siyue heard this and bowed.

Li Chengxing said, "Then, Queen, we will leave the palace first."

"Okay, let's talk next time we enter the palace."

After Ji Siyue and Li Chengxing left, Princess Xiping said, "Mother, please investigate!"

The queen nodded and raised the corner of her lips and said, "This Marquis' wife is quite interesting. She knew that I would investigate, but she came to ask me for help and said a lot of high-sounding words to clear me of suspicion of jealousy."

Princess Xiping heard this and snorted coldly: "No matter how nice she talks, mother, please do your business first!"

The Queen thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if your father is worried about the Wang family of Langya? I need to investigate this matter first. There is no need to rush."

Princess Xiping shook her head and said, "I'll go and test it today. What if Concubine Ying comes to her senses?"

The queen thought it made sense and after thinking about it, she decided to follow Princess Xiping's advice.

He immediately gave orders to people to do this and that.

A maid who took care of Concubine Ying was bribed and produced evidence of Concubine Ying's menstrual period. The Empress went to tell the Emperor in person.

The emperor still didn't believe it, so he took the imperial physician to take the patient's pulse.

However, Concubine Ying tried various ways to shirk her responsibilities, but in the end the Emperor still held her hand and asked the imperial physician to take her pulse.

After the imperial physician made the diagnosis, he immediately said, "Based on my thirty years of experience as an imperial physician, the pulse of a woman in her third month of pregnancy is considered obvious, but I did not feel a pregnancy pulse."

When Concubine Ying heard this, she was horrified and snatched her hand away: "Nonsense! Let Doctor Hu come, he knows!"

The emperor sat down with a sullen face after hearing this, and sneered, "If Concubine Ying doesn't believe me, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and get five more doctors."

After the five imperial doctors made the diagnosis, they all shook their heads.

Concubine Ying knew she was doomed, so she knelt down and said, "I got scared and had a miscarriage today, and I didn't have time to tell His Majesty!"

The Queen knew she would do this, so she followed in and said, "Since you dare to pretend, you have to conjure up a child. I heard that your maid has been secretly sending food to the cold palace. Who is it for?"

The palace servants brought in a pregnant maid and asked, "Is this for her?"

When this incident came to light, His Majesty was furious.

The queen sneered and said, "You rely on the fact that you are the daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi to act lawless. How dare you commit such a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

This sentence specifically pointed out the emperor. When the emperor heard it, it reminded him of previous events. He was furious and immediately issued an order to summon Marquis Yongyi into the palace overnight.

The emperor also summoned Bo Jinnian. Shen Yiran had already asked him to leave the city overnight. The imperial edict only said that he was going to other places to buy medicinal seeds. He told the location and asked the palace servants to rush there.

The palace maid had no choice but to go back to the palace and tell the emperor. After hearing what she said, the emperor became suspicious. He said there was no need to call for help but secretly sent the imperial guards to investigate.

At this moment, in the palace, Marquis Yongyi had already heard the news and came in in panic. He immediately knelt down and said, "My daughter is ignorant and has made a big mistake. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

The emperor heard this and sneered twice.

Throw all the evidence of previous crimes on the ground and tell him about them one by one.

Hearing this, Marquis Yongyi was terrified and tried to make excuses, but the imperial guards broke into his home and took out the hostages he had held in the mansion, and also captured Wang Li who was being interrogated.

Marquis Yongyi was speechless and could not explain himself: "I was confused when I was young. This Wang Li is my son. That's why I kept him in my mansion."

"I heard that there is a woman in the prison who knows about your crimes and has evidence. Do you need me to bring her here to question her?"

When the Marquis of Yongyi heard this, he was not afraid of this and immediately said, "That's all false accusations. I'm not afraid!"

When the emperor heard this, he sent someone to report it, but the imperial guards reported back that the woman had committed suicide out of fear of punishment and hanged herself with her belt in prison.

When Marquis Yongyi heard what happened in the palace, he immediately arranged for assassins to go there, and they finally arrived in time.

Tuantuan next door saw clearly that the killer was unwilling to leave anyone alive and killed Tuantuan as well.

The imperial guards ignored this matter, and the prison inmates did not say anything about it.

"Capture him and wait for interrogation! Seal off the Yongyi Marquis's residence and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

When the emperor heard the news of the death, he knew that it was Marquis Yongyi who ordered his men to do it, and he became even more angry and had the man imprisoned directly.

As soon as he left, he immediately called the prime minister and the minister of the Secretariat to draft an imperial decree, confiscating the family of Marquis Yongyi and banishing Concubine Ying to the cold palace.

Marquis Yongyi has quite a few followers in the court, and many of them are secretly trying to turn back.

But the more suspicious the emperor became, the more immediately the imperial edict was issued.

Bo Jinnian returned home and handed the seeds of medicinal herbs to the housekeeper.

The imperial guards looked at it and came back to report.

"Why would you go there in person?"

The imperial guard half-knelt and replied, "I have investigated and found that the Marquis' wife used to go in person, but now she has to stay at home to take care of the children, so the Marquis has to go."

"It has always been the Marquis's wife who went there in person?"

The Imperial Guard nodded: "Yes, I asked the sellers, and they all said yes."

After hearing this, the emperor no longer had any suspicions.

The mansion of Marquis Yongyi was confiscated, the men were exiled, the women became official slaves, and Shen Liang and others were also released.

Concubine Ying was banished to the cold palace. She had been so domineering in the past, but now many people took advantage of her misfortune. Within a month, she went crazy and died of illness.
