"Your Majesty, this child must be yours. Please believe me! I used to drink contraceptive soup every time, but since I've been with you, I've never taken contraceptive soup. This child must be yours!"

Liu Ruchun explained with tears in her eyes, her voice full of grievance and unwillingness.

At this moment, Hong Fu, the maid beside Liu Ruchun, suddenly knelt down and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, I found this bamboo tube in Concubine Wan's bedroom. I dare not hide it and can only take it out!" As she said this, she handed the bamboo tube in her hand forward.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the bamboo tube, on which were engraved the words "prayer".

Liu Ruchun's face turned pale instantly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the bamboo tube in front of her in disbelief. Her lips trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes again:

"No...that's not the case..."

She turned to look at the Imperial Concubine beside her, her eyes filled with anger and despair:

"It's you! It turns out that all this is a setup against me, Imperial Concubine, you have such a vicious heart!"

Her voice was filled with endless pain and resentment, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Two little palace maids were kneeling behind Hongfu, holding lotus lanterns. They told her everything that happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Shen Meimei quickly opened the bamboo tube, which recorded in detail how Liu Ruchun killed Lin. After she finished reading, her hands trembled with heartache, "How could you be so vicious?"

With two "pa pa" sounds, finger marks appeared on Liu Ruchun's face.

Shen Meimei couldn't bear it any longer. Even though she knew that it must be Liu Ruchun who killed Lin, when she saw the details, she couldn't help but take action.

"Your Majesty, please severely punish Liu!" Shen Meimei was extremely sad and took out the edict written by the emperor.

If Lin was killed by Liu Ruchun, Liu would definitely be sentenced to death.

All the evidence was linked together. Although the emperor was ill, his mind was clear. He slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Meimei:

"Royal Consort, since you already have the evidence, why didn't you present it to me earlier? Why did you have to reveal it at Liu's ceremony? You are making me lose face!"

Shen Meimei only wanted revenge at that time and indeed neglected the emperor's feelings. She wanted to explain further, but the emperor waved his hand to signal her to be silent.

"Liu, there was an official in the capital who sponsored you. Who was it?" the emperor asked calmly.

"It was Lord Zhen Yuandao. It was he who asked me to serve the emperor and told me many of the emperor's preferences!" Liu Ruchun told everything. She knew that she could not survive, so she just told him everything she knew.

The emperor's lips trembled. Zhen Yuandao was his most trusted minister, but now he had done such a deceitful thing.

"How dare you to frame an official of the imperial court. Your crime is even more serious. Aren't you afraid that I will exterminate your entire clan?"

"Your Majesty, I know there is no way I can survive, so why would I lie to you? Zhen Yuandao designed me to approach Your Majesty in order to investigate Yu Yin's death, and then took the opportunity to find out the truth about Yu Yin's death.

I have found out the truth. It was the Imperial Concubine who killed Yu Yin. When I went to test Lin that day, the earring that fell was the evidence. "After Liu Ruchun finished speaking, she turned and looked at Shen Meimei.

"Royal Concubine, you killed Yu Yin, right? Haha..."

Although Shen Meimei was a little flustered, her face was calm. She saluted to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, I have never done this. Liu is about to die, but she is accusing everyone. Please investigate!"
