Zhan'er wanted to refute, but the young lady pulled him, so he endured it...

The emperor nodded upon hearing this and said, "Zhan'er was sent over by me. Although he is a bit straightforward, he is not a liar."

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the eunuch kneeling below and raised his hand towards Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng nodded in understanding, then took a step towards the eunuch and asked, "What's your name, and which palace do you work for?"

"My name is Jiang Lai Fu, and I work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Jiang Lai Fu answered with his head down.

"You work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What are you doing in Chengqian Palace in the middle of the night?" Su Peisheng asked slowly.

"Replying to Eunuch Su, I just happened to pass by." Jiang Lai Fu spoke, still not daring to look up.

"Where are you going? How could you happen to pass by Chengqian Palace?" Su Peisheng asked with a smile, and An Lingrong also looked at Jiang Lai Fu.

"Slave, I ate too much at night, so I just took a walk, just a walk..." Jiang Lai Fu said, sweat already starting to appear on his forehead.

"Eunuch Jiang, when I caught you, it was already the end of the Chou hour. How much did you eat for dinner? How could you not have digested the food by that hour?" Zhan'er said as he looked at Jiang Lai Fu with a serious look on his face.

"Slave...slave..."

"Tell the truth!" Su Peisheng shouted coldly. Jiang Lai Fu raised his head, glanced at Jiang Fuhai behind the queen, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Eunuch Su, I saw it clearly when I was sitting on the palace wall yesterday. Eunuch Jiang gave the white porcelain bottle to Baojuan and talked for a long time. It's just that their voices were too low, so I didn't hear clearly. He didn't look good either, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person. That's why I tied him up and threw him into the utility room."

As Zhan'er spoke, he actually bowed to Su Peisheng, and then glanced at the queen, as if to say: You can see clearly, I did bow!

"Since you arrested the person, why didn't you report it at that time?!" The queen was speechless and looked at Zhan'er with a cold gaze.

Zhan Er was not afraid when he heard the voice, and bowed to the queen again and said:

"Empress, Sister Luying said that the young lady has to serve the emperor during the day and make perfumes and read books at night. She is very busy. If it is not a life-threatening matter, please do not disturb the young lady so as not to affect her rest. So Zhan'er only tied him up. If Baojuan did not have to clean the next day, I would have tied her up as well..."

After Zhan'er finished speaking, he looked at An Lingrong with a smile, as if waiting for praise.

An Lingrong naturally couldn't praise her here, but she still gave Zhan'er a satisfied look, and the smile on Zhan'er's face became even more intense.

"Really? You are a loyal person. Baojuan! Jiang Laifu, do you admit your guilt?!" the queen said and looked at the two people kneeling below.

"Your Majesty, I deny it! It was indeed Concubine Yi who asked me to do this, and it was Concubine Yi who gave me the poison. I did not lie!" Baojuan insisted on this point and looked at the queen.

Jiang Lai Fu also kowtowed and refused to admit it.

The Queen looked at An Lingrong again and said, "Princess Yi, do you plead guilty?"

"I have never done it, so I naturally won't admit it. I hope Your Majesty can understand!" An Lingrong said as she bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, in this case, let's hand the case over to the clan court for trial." Before the emperor could say anything, the queen made another decision.

The veteran is indeed a veteran, he will kill the person when he makes a move.

"Your Majesty, no! Concubine Yi would never murder Concubine Rui!"

Shen Meizhuang knelt beside An Lingrong at this time and said:

"Your Majesty, don't you think this is too strange? At the palace banquet at Taiye Lake today, Yipin was the closest to Ruipin. If she wanted to harm Ruipin, why didn't she use Jianqiu's hand to push Ruipin into the lake, but instead protected Ruipin tightly and then did this?"

"What Huipin said makes no sense. In such an occasion, if one is not careful, someone will see us. How can one go back to the palace and put down a lamp of bird's nest without anyone noticing..." the Queen spoke, glaring at Shen Meizhuang.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then wait for Concubine Rui to wake up and ask her in person. I saw it clearly today. Concubine Yi has been protecting Concubine Rui..." Shen Meizhuang ignored the queen and only looked at the emperor.

Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan, wanting her to plead for An Lingrong as well, but Zhen Huan just bit her lower lip and said nothing.

The emperor was still upset about Huanbi's incident. Although she had distanced herself from Huanbi at that time, no one knew when the emperor's might would take effect. If she stood up at this time, the emperor would think of Huanbi and the Zhen family again...

She still has the entire Zhen family to protect, she can't afford to gamble...

"Empress, Doctor Meng also said that there is nothing wrong with the fetus in Concubine Rui's belly. Let's wait until Concubine Rui wakes up before making any decisions." The Emperor spoke and glanced at the Empress, his expression not looking very good.

The Queen was unwilling to see this and wanted to say something, but An Lingrong spoke up: "Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

"You say." The emperor turned the rosary in his hand and looked at An Lingrong. An Lingrong knew that the emperor was impatient, so she decided to make a quick decision and said:

"Your Majesty, I only have three questions to ask. If after all of this, the Empress still thinks that I am responsible, no matter how you punish me, I will accept it!"

"You say." The emperor slowed down the movement of the rosary in his hand, and An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to know where the bird's nest in Baojuan's hand comes from? I usually use blood bird's nests. If I really let Baojuan give it to Fu Cha, I will never use ordinary bird's nests!"

After An Lingrong finished speaking, she looked at Baojuan, and everyone's eyes also turned to her.

"Now that my lady has mentioned this, I remember that before the banquet today, my lady asked me to put up a pot of fresh bamboo shoots and chicken soup, saying that she wanted to cook some wontons for the emperor as a midnight snack. So I went to the small kitchen from time to time to check the fire, and I forgot that I had stewed bird's nest in the kitchen!" Juqing said, looking at Baojuan.

Baojuan couldn't answer, so she just lowered her head.

An Lingrong ignored her and continued, "Your Majesty, the entire Chengqian Palace, including Ruipin, knows that I only let Baojuan do some cleaning because I think she is not a reliable person. If I really wanted to harm Fucha, I would definitely let Juqing come to deliver the task. Why would I use her?!"

After An Lingrong finished speaking, all the concubines present nodded again.

"Also, if it is true as the Queen said, that only a bowl of bird's nest can kill someone without anyone noticing, then I will definitely not use Baojuan, who is such a traitor!

I want to ask the Queen, if it were the Queen, would she let the most capable and closest palace maid do such an important thing, or would she let a servant whom she despise do it? ! "

After An Lingrong finished speaking, she looked at the Queen, who was instantly distracted.
