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

Shen Nian nodded. She knew that only an in-depth investigation could reveal the truth. She ordered the eunuch, "Go and compile a list of all the people who may have had contact with Concubine An before and after the incident. We need to check them one by one."

The young eunuch took the order and left, while Shen Nian and Chen Jinxuan continued to work with Zhao Quezi to carefully analyze every detail of the crime scene, hoping to find more clues.

Qingle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone's attention was drawn to investigating those who had had contact with Concubine An recently.

She secretly rejoiced that she had finally gotten rid of everyone's scrutiny and suspicion, and was also grateful to Shen Nian. However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her: "You seem relieved."

The sudden sound scared Qingle so much that she trembled all over and almost screamed.

When she turned around, she found that it was Shen Nian who had come behind her at some point.

Facing Shen Nian's questioning, Qingle quickly bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no such intention! I am just very touched to see that you are so magnanimous. Not only did you not care about the previous misunderstanding, but you also spared no effort to clear my Majesty's grievances.

That's why I couldn't help showing my relief. I have no other intentions. Please understand, Your Majesty! "

Chen Jinxuan walked slowly past Shen Nian with a smile on her face. She gently stretched out her hand, pressed on Qingle's thin shoulder, and said softly: "Oh? Really? Then why are you shaking all over?"

Qingle was startled and turned her head quickly, just in time to meet Chen Jinxuan's smiling eyes. She couldn't help but get nervous, and her body shook more and more violently out of control.

Qingle bit her lips tightly, trying to calm herself down, but her voice still trembled: "I...I am just a little scared."

Shen Nian witnessed all this, with a sly smile on her face. She imitated Chen Jinxuan's actions and put one of her hands on Qingle's shoulder.

Then, Shen Nian asked in a leisurely tone: "So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being discovered? Did you go to Mei Fei's place on the day that An Fei died?"

Her sharp eyes were like torches, seeming to be able to see through Qingle's most hidden secrets.

When Qingle heard the name "Mei Fei", his pupils dilated involuntarily, his face was filled with fear, and his body subconsciously retreated backwards, trying to escape the control of Chen Jinxuan and Shen Nian.

However, Chen Jinxuan came from a military family and was extremely strong, so how could she easily let a little maid escape?

Chen Jinxuan just pulled Qingle back with a little force. At the same time, Shen Nian seized the opportunity to quickly tie up Qingle's hands, making it impossible for him to struggle and resist.

Then, Shen Nian took out a jade hairpin from his sleeve, and gently waved it in front of Qingle's eyes and said, "Does this jade hairpin look familiar to you? That's right, it was given to you by Concubine Mei!

The reason why Concubine Mei gave you a golden hairpin for no reason was not because Concubine Mei was kind and rich, but because you promised Concubine Mei that you would help her poison Concubine An, right? "Qingle's face turned pale, and she shook her head desperately, "No, it's not like that! Madam, you wronged me!"

Shen Nian sneered, "Unfair? Then tell me, why was this jade hairpin found near Concubine An's bedroom? And, as far as I know, this jade hairpin is a personal item of Concubine Mei. Why would she just give it to a palace maid?"

Qingle's lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

"If you tell the truth, perhaps I can spare your life. But if you continue to quibble..." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Nian's eyes.

Qingle was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and finally admitted his crime while crying.

"I didn't mean to harm Lady An. It was Concubine Mei who forced me to do that. She said that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill my whole family."

Shen Nian's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Qing Le's heart. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty that made it impossible for Qing Le to escape.

"Qingle, if you truly repent, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you continue to conceal it, it will only aggravate your crime." Shen Nian's voice was calm and firm.

Qingle's eyes were filled with fear and despair. She knew that Shen Nian already had all the evidence and she could no longer hide it.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed Concubine Mei's words. I shouldn't have harmed Concubine An." Qingle's voice trembled and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Nian looked at Qingle. Although she was angry, she also knew that Qingle was forced into a desperate situation.

"Qingle, remember, your crime not only harmed Concubine An, but also yourself and your family." Shen Nian said.

Qingle nodded, her heart filled with regret. She knew that she had to pay the price for her actions.

"Now if you want to atone for what you have done, you must confess what you have done when you go before His Majesty later, and help us prove that Concubine Mei is the murderer of Concubine An." Qingle wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty. I will report the truth to His Majesty."

From then on, every detail of Concubine An's murder gradually unfolded in Shen Nian's mind like a picture scroll, interweaving and connecting with each other.

In the end, these seemingly scattered clues came together to form a clear and complete account of the case.

It turns out that Concubine Mei and Concubine An had entered the palace together, but their fates were very different.

When Concubine An ascended the throne and became the empress, Concubine Mei was far superior in both family background and social status. However, this did not make Concubine Mei feel awed or obedient, but instead became the beginning of her endless humiliation and torture.

In that inner palace, power and status determine everything. With her unique conditions, Concubine An can treat others as she pleases, but Concubine Mei unfortunately becomes the object of her venting anger and showing off her power.

The innocent Concubine Mei suffered endless torture and humiliation. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and her life was as painful as hell.

Once upon a time, Mei Fei thought that she was no longer able to fight back against An Concubine in this life. However, fate is always full of drama.

When she was frustrated and desperate, she even thought about ending this miserable life journey in an extreme way - suicide.

But at this moment, a woman named Shen Nian appeared in front of her. Shen Nian was extraordinary. She had successfully brought down the powerful Concubine An from her high and noble throne of queen just by relying on the death of Concubine Shu!

The once glorious Queen An has now become Concubine An, a rank lower than that of Concubine. Overnight, Concubine Mei's status became much higher than that of Concubine An.

As the saying goes, things change over time. Concubine Mei thought, now it is finally Concubine An's turn to suffer!

However, how could Concubine Mei, who had been tortured by Concubine An for many years, let her go so easily?

So, Mei Fei came up with a plan and decided to start with the people around Anpin. After careful consideration, she first sent someone to summon Qingle, Anpin's personal maid, to her presence.

After Qingle arrived at Concubine Mei's bedroom, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, lowered his head and dared not look directly at Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei sat upright on a chair and said in a dignified yet gentle tone: "Qingle, you should know that the Concubine An you are following now has no future. Instead of continuing to suffer with her, you might as well come to my side, there may be a better way out." After saying that, Concubine Mei smiled gently, with an imperceptible cunningness in her eyes.

Qingle thought to herself after hearing this. In fact, she had long wanted to stay away from Concubine An because of her bad temper and moodiness, which made her suffer a lot. At this moment, hearing Concubine Mei say this, it seemed as if she saw a glimmer of hope. In addition, Concubine Mei was kind to people on weekdays, giving people a sense of intimacy, which made Qingle choose to stand on Concubine Mei's side without hesitation.

Qingle kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude and expressed his willingness to be loyal to Concubine Mei.

From then on, she became Mei Fei's spy and confidant, always monitoring Anpin's every move and reporting to Mei Fei in a timely manner. Mei Fei also relied on the intelligence provided by Qingle to gradually gain more bargaining chips against Anpin...
