Quick Wear: After the charming host got pregnant, the boss spoiled her like crazy

There was a flash of panic in the Queen's eyes. She didn't expect that Concubine Li would suddenly wake up and publicly accuse her at the ceremony. Although she was angry in her heart, she remained calm on the surface.

"Your Majesty," the Queen's voice trembled, "Sister Li Fei is talking nonsense. I have never done anything to hurt Shu Fei."

Ling Yu's gaze swept back and forth between the Queen and Concubine Li, his eyes revealing a hint of deep thought.

He knew that this matter was of great importance and if not handled properly, it might cause turmoil in the harem.

"Concubine Li, Chen Jinxuan, do you have any evidence?" Ling Yu's voice was serious.

Concubine Li and Chen Jinxuan looked at each other. They knew this was the most critical moment. Concubine Li took a deep breath, her eyes full of determination. "Your Majesty, I have evidence."

Chen Jinxuan also raised her head, her eyes full of determination. "Your Majesty, I also have evidence."

Ling Yu nodded, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes. "Then, present the evidence."

Concubine Li and Chen Jinxuan took out some letters and items from their arms. These were the evidence they had collected during Concubine Shu's lifetime that could prove the Queen was related to Concubine Shu's death.

Ling Yu carefully examined the evidence, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. He had never thought that there was such a deep conspiracy hidden in the harem.

"Queen, do you have anything else to say?" Ling Yu's voice was a little cold.

The queen's face turned pale, she knew that her crime could no longer be covered up.

But she still insisted, "Your Majesty, these letters were all forged by them."

The queen stared at Shen Nian, Chen Jinxuan, and Concubine Li, and something flashed through her mind.

"Your Majesty is Shen Nian. She must have instigated the two of them to slander me."

"My Queen, I have never had any grudge against you. Why would I go to such lengths to slander you?"

Shen Nian came out from behind Ling Yu, holding her belly, with a sad look in her eyes, filled with the sadness of being wronged.

What a pitiful beauty.

Seeing her like this, even the empress dowager felt distressed. Her lovely grandson hadn't even been born yet, but his biological mother had been wrongly accused. The empress dowager couldn't let her lovely grandson suffer this injustice.

"You said that it was Concubine Qing who slandered you, Queen, you have to provide evidence when you speak."

The queen originally wanted to use the jade pendant incident to ruin Shen Nian's reputation.

Unexpectedly, it was Shen Nian who took the initiative and caught her off guard.

"Mother, before Shen Nian entered the palace, she eloped with a scholar.

I learned about this by accident and had never thought of making it public.

But who knew that Shen Nian would find out, and she would bear a grudge against me, so she would use such despicable means to slander me."

There was a hint of grievance in the Queen's voice. She tried to defend herself, but also tried to change the subject and shift the focus away from herself.

There was a hint of complexity in Ling Yu's eyes. He looked at Shen Nian, then at the Queen, and knew in his heart that the struggle in the harem was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Queen, do you have any evidence for what you said?" Ling Yu's voice carried a hint of unquestionable majesty.

The queen was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Ling Yu to ask for evidence so directly.

Although she was a little flustered, she still pretended to be calm. "Your Majesty, I heard this with my own ears and said it with my own mouth. Don't you believe my words?"

Ling Yu did not answer immediately, his eyes swept back and forth between Shen Nian and the Queen.

He knew that this matter needed to be handled with caution and that he could not make a judgment based on the words of just one person.

A hint of determination flashed in Shen Nian's eyes. She knew that this was the moment for her to clear her name.

"Your Majesty, I have never done what the Queen said. Since I entered the palace, I have always abided by the palace rules and have never done anything improper."

The Queen Mother watched all this and was somewhat puzzled. She knew Shen Nian was a smart and virtuous woman, and she did not believe that Shen Nian would do such a thing.

"Mother, Your Majesty, I have evidence.

I had someone capture the scholar who eloped with Shen Nian, and found this item on him."

The queen now finally had the chance and took out the jade pendant that she had prepared long ago.

"This is the token of love between Shen Nian and him when they eloped."

"Even the token has been taken out. Could this be true?"

"I didn't expect that Concubine Qing, who usually looks elegant and dignified, would do something so immoral."

"It is such a disgrace to His Majesty and the royal family."

The young concubines gathered together and whispered, and as they were talking, someone started a conversation.

They began to question the ancestry of the baby in Shen Nian's belly.

"The Concubine Qing got pregnant the night she entered the palace. Could it be that this child is also the scholar's?"

"enough."

As soon as Ling Yu spoke with anger, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

"If anyone dares to gossip, I will cut off her tongue."

The concubines were all frightened by the emperor's aura and dared not speak nonsense anymore.

"Wang Dequan."

"I'm here." Wang Dequan, who was frightened by the scene and broke out in cold sweats, was once again forced to charge into battle.
