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

Zhen Huan raised her head, her heart trembled, and the knuckles of her fingers that were holding the silk handkerchief turned white.

Jin Xi behind also quietly looked up at Su Peisheng. An Lingrong was sitting in a high place, taking everything in. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and glanced at Fu Cha.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy. In fact, in my opinion, this matter is very simple." Su Peisheng lowered his head and spoke at the right time. The emperor raised his hand to signal him to continue.

"It was dark at night, and there were few people in the lotus pond. I thought that maybe Lady Li had fallen, and Miss Pin'er happened to pass by and wanted to save her, but she didn't expect to fall into the water herself..."

Su Peisheng lowered his head and continued to speak. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the emperor. He saw that the emperor fell into deep thought after hearing his words, and was very satisfied with the countermeasures he had thought of.

"Eunuch Su, have you forgotten that the lotus pond is so far away from Bitong Academy? Why is Pin'er going there in the middle of the night?" Fu Cha raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Peisheng. Su Peisheng was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I made some jujube flower honey cakes this evening. I knew Longyue loved them, so I asked Pin'er to deliver them to Longyue. I didn't expect that she would never come back."

Zhen Huan stood up with her huge belly and spoke with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful and aggrieved.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, please send someone to look for any jujube flower honey cakes nearby." Zhen Huan said as she gently wiped her tearful eyes, her face full of pleading.

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Feng Chi.

"Your Majesty, I did find a food box, and inside it was indeed the jujube flower honey cake. However, the honey cake was not at the scene, but in the woods far away." Feng Chi bowed and everyone looked at Zhen Huan again.

Zhen Huan was startled when she heard the voice. She asked Pin'er to follow the eavesdropper and told her to deal with the person decisively when the time was right. Before leaving, she gave her the dagger that the emperor had left for her for self-defense.

After Liu Zhu left, she went back to Bitong Academy with Jin Xi and waited quietly...

Prince Guo was worried and went back to look for Pin'er, but found that Liuzhu had drowned in the lotus pond, and there was another body in the pond. He had no way to check who it was and was afraid of being seen by others, so he had to go back to Bitong Academy to discuss countermeasures with Zhen Huan.

Although Zhen Huan was sad when she heard the news, she still thought about it carefully: Putting aside other things, since it is certain that Pin'er and the eavesdropper died in the lotus pond, no matter who that person was, their death is a good thing!

She thought that Pin'er had no reason to go to the lotus pond at night, so she hurriedly asked Jinxi to pack some snacks for Prince Guo and asked him to knock over the food box on the shore to pretend that he had fallen into the water.

If the emperor asks about it, I can also use the excuse that I asked Pin'er to send some food to Longyue instead of committing suicide. This is also a logical thing to do...

But what she never expected was that the person in trouble was actually Lady Li. So, because of Long Yue, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to get rid of the trouble now...

What's even more troublesome is that the food box appeared intact in the woods in the distance, which made it more like a premeditated murder.

"Your Majesty, if Concubine Wan hadn't mentioned Longyue, I would have almost forgotten the princess. Longyue is still young, and she and Concubine Li are like real mother and daughter. Now Concubine Li... does anyone accompany Longyue?" An Lingrong looked at the emperor with concern, tears in her eyes.

No matter what, it was Pin'er who pushed Fu Cha into the water. If she hadn't been there today, Fu Cha would have died long ago. So, she must make Zhen Huan pay the price for this.

"Don't worry, Rong'er. When I came here, I met Concubine Jing, and I asked her to take Longyue to her place to take care of her." The emperor spoke, patted An Lingrong's hand, and then glared at Zhen Huan.

"You keep saying that you care about Longyue, but at this point, I haven't seen you worry at all about how Longyue is doing now!" The emperor's tone was full of anger. Zhen Huan raised her eyes and glared at An Lingrong, then lowered her head and continued to shed tears.

"Your Majesty, Pin'er drowned. I just didn't react for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will punish me." Zhen Huan seemed to have reacted again and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Are you joking, Wanpin? Pin'er is just a palace maid. No matter how close she is to you, she can't be closer than your own daughter, right?" Xinpin spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Your Majesty, I feel the most sorry for Longyue, but Pin'er has been accompanying and serving me in Suiyuxuan since I entered the palace. When she drowned, I heard the sad news and couldn't help but think too much for a while..." Zhen Huan continued to shed tears, crying very sadly.

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan below with a frown on his face, but when he saw her big belly, he felt reluctant.

"Your Majesty, there is a new witness." Feng Chi, who had just been called out by the guards, walked in again and saluted the emperor.

"You say." The emperor spoke and looked at Feng Chi.

"Your Majesty, there was a young palace maid passing by at the time. According to her, at the end of the hour of Hai, she went to the imperial kitchen to look for her sister.

When passing by the lotus pond, she saw a dark shadow following another dark shadow walking towards the lotus pond, and the person following was not carrying a food box.

And according to the coroner's inference, the two people drowned at around midnight.

If what this person said is true, this must have been a premeditated murder.

This is her confession." Feng Chi said, and handed over the paper with the signature on it.

The emperor glanced at her and said angrily to Zhen Huan, "What else do you want to say? Do you still want to say that everything was done by that palace maid?!"

After saying this, the emperor slapped the eight-immortal table beside him.

Zhen Huan was so frightened that she staggered and fell to her knees. If it weren't for Jing Xi beside her, she would have collapsed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to pay his respects." Just at this moment, Prince Guo suddenly walked in and bowed to the emperor.

"Why are you here?" The emperor raised his head and looked at Prince Guo, but the anger on his face had not diminished in the slightest.

"Royal brother, I think everything should be put first for the royal heir. I heard that Concubine Wan is pregnant with twins. I'm afraid it will be bad for the babies if she kneels on the ground like this. I hope that you, Royal brother..." Prince Guo bowed and looked at Concubine Wan who was lying on the ground.

"It hurts... Your Majesty, my stomach hurts..." At this moment, Zhen Huan suddenly spoke, with fine beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead, and then she fainted.

"Someone, call the imperial physician!" the emperor asked. Su Peisheng hurriedly responded and went out to pass the message. An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan lying on the ground with a cold look in her eyes.

The imperial physician and midwife arrived soon, and Wen Shichu took Zhen Huan's pulse.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan was probably frightened and had a premature birth. I will go and prepare the medicine to induce labor." Wen Shichu came out to report. The emperor nodded and the palace became busy.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Wanpin will have to wait until dawn to give birth. Why don't you rest in the side hall first? I will wake you up after the baby is born safely."

An Lingrong looked at the emperor with a distressed look on her face. The emperor nodded and followed An Lingrong to the side hall.
