An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

"Princess Wan, you speak." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan with a dark look.

"I know, it's you, right? You have tried time and again to take Longyue away from me. You must have thought that if Longyue gets sick, you can find an excuse to take her away from me. You... you can't even think about it!" Upon hearing this, Concubine Li raised her voice, which was rare, and pointed at Zhen Huan.

"I didn't. Longyue is my biological daughter. How could I harm her?" Zhen Huan tried to argue again, but her expression was slightly evasive.

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Wan said is not wrong. No matter what, she is Longyue's biological mother and would never do this." Noble Lady Duan spoke at the right time, and An Lingrong looked up at her.

"Your Majesty, when Imperial Doctor Meng examined Longyue's pulse, he said that she had eaten something she shouldn't have. So I ordered all the maids who served Longyue's meals to be locked up. Your Majesty must stand up for Longyue and me..." Concubine Li continued to cry. Zhen Huan looked at Concubine Duan and saw her shaking her head.

"Come here, send the man to the Ministry of Punishment for trial." The emperor spoke and waved his hand. Just as Su Peisheng was about to step forward, a guard came in to receive orders. The emperor waved his hand and the guard took the order and retreated.

There was no other reason. When Zhen Huan returned to the palace, An Lingrong asked Xiao Zhongzi to keep an eye out for details. Just like in her previous life, Jingxi agreed to have a meal with Su Peisheng, so An Lingrong began to make arrangements.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan and Jin Xi behind her. Jin Xi lowered her head with no expression on her face, but Zhen Huan seemed a little flustered, with her finger joints turning white as she held the armrest.

Soon, a guard came to report that Madam Liu had confessed, saying that Jingqing from Suiyuxuan had been sending her food these past few days. The food she sent a few days ago was water chestnut soup, and the one she sent today was the plate of rose cake...

"Your Majesty, I did not do it. I am innocent!" Zhen Huan stood up and knelt before the emperor with a look of panic on her face.

"Bring the people up." The emperor spoke, and several maids dragged Nanny Liu and Jingqing in.

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me. I didn't know that there were inedible things mixed in there. It was Jingqing who begged me, saying that Concubine Wan missed her daughter so much that she just wanted to send some food in. I was kind-hearted at the time, and that's why this happened. I hope Your Majesty will spare me!"

As soon as Aunt Liu came in, she started crying, and everyone looked at her with sympathy.

"Speak now! Tell the truth! I should never, ever, sympathize with you. You actually hurt me like this!"

As Aunt Liu spoke, she struggled to get up and was about to bump into Jingqing who was standing beside her. Jingqing just lowered her head and said nothing.

"Say something! Say something!" Nanny Liu continued to cry with a smile, while Jingqing just lowered her head.

"That's enough!" The emperor spoke in a cold tone, then looked at Zhen Huan and asked, "What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, please believe in me. Longyue is my biological child. How could I harm her?" Zhen Huan said, holding her belly.

"You bought the cassava flour privately, right? That maidservant is from your palace, right? If it wasn't for your order, how could she dare to do that?

I had thought that in a few years, when Longyue is older, if Longyue is willing, you can raise her together with Concubine Li. But now it seems that in order to achieve your goal, you are willing to kill even your own child.

You, outrageous! "

The emperor said this while looking at Zhen Huan with a cold gaze.

"Your Majesty! I don't have any." Zhen Huan cried and shook her head, then wiped the tears from her face and said:

"Your Majesty, I really didn't know. It was that servant who acted on his own initiative. Your Majesty, please believe me."

As soon as Zhen Huan finished speaking, Jing Qing raised her head with a smile on her face.

"Empress Wan, are you going to abandon me?" Jingqing asked. Zhen Huan turned around and met Jingqing's gaze, with obvious panic on her face.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Zhen Huan forced herself to answer, with a hint of sarcasm on her face.

"I still have the money you gave me. Madam Liu is kind-hearted but stupid. I only needed a few words to get her to help me buy something for Princess Longyue. I haven't used a single ounce of that money yet."

Jingqing looked at Zhen Huan and spoke word for word. Zhen Huan's body was obviously a little limp, and she was supported by Jingxi who was kneeling beside her.

"Your Majesty, I asked Jingqing to do this. My young master couldn't eat because of the princess's matter. She even cried out the princess's name when she fell asleep. I couldn't bear it, so I thought of this method. Everything was done by me alone. My young master had no idea. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

Liu Zhu knelt before the emperor, kowtowed to him, and spoke.

"Liu Zhu!..." Zhen Huan shook her head and looked at Liu Zhu, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

"My lady, it's all my fault. If there is an afterlife, I will still serve you." Liu Zhu said as she kowtowed to Zhen Huan, who kept shaking her head.

At the same time, Liu Zhu suddenly stood up and bumped into his master beside him, and blood immediately flowed from his forehead...

“Liu Zhu!…” Zhen Huan shouted upon seeing this, and stood up and rushed towards Liu Zhu, hugging her and crying…

Everyone else in the hall was so shocked by this scene that they dared not utter a word, and Zhen Huan's crying sounded particularly harsh.

The emperor frowned and raised his hand, and someone came in and carried Liu Zhu out. Zhen Huan looked in the direction Liu Zhu went, her eyes a little dull.

"The maid who committed the crime is dead, and you are also guilty of negligence. Considering that you are pregnant, I will let you go today and punish you by confining you to your home for a month.

Also, Longyue will be Concubine Li’s child in the future, and no one else is allowed to mention it in front of Longyue! Remember this!”

The emperor spoke coldly and looked at everyone.

"I obey your command." The concubines stood up and responded.

"I still have government affairs to attend to." The emperor stood up and everyone bowed and said, "Your Highness, I respectfully send you off."

"You all may go too." After the emperor left, An Lingrong glanced at the crowd and spoke, her eyes falling on Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan had a hint of anger on her face, but she met An Lingrong's gaze without avoiding it.

The concubines bowed to An Lingrong and left Chuxiu Palace one by one.

"I have to thank the Imperial Concubine for what happened today." After everyone left, Imperial Concubine Li knelt in front of An Lingrong.

"Don't thank me. Her original intention was not only to get Longyue back, but also to pull me down. You just take good care of Longyue in the future, and I think she won't have any other thoughts." An Lingrong stood up as she spoke.

"I am not good at speaking, but I still want to thank you." Concubine Li continued to speak. An Lingrong nodded and said nothing more. She walked out of Chuxiu Palace.

As soon as he went out, he saw Concubine Duan waiting outside.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine has good means." Noble Lady Duan looked at An Lingrong and spoke with a smile.

"Kneel down." An Lingrong said coldly, and Zhan'er, who was guarding outside, stepped forward and pushed Concubine Duan down, and made her kneel in front of An Lingrong.

"How dare you..." Concubine Duan raised her head and glared at An Lingrong, her eyes full of anger, as if she wanted to eat someone.
