"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian, Concubine Qi initially disliked Concubine Xian because she was so favored but was unwilling to help her. Gradually, Concubine Qi began to resent Concubine Xian. She initially interfered with the Seventh Prince's treatment because she didn't want Concubine Xian to have an easy time. Later, she was confined to her house for this incident, and Concubine Qi became even more resentful. So she wanted to kill Concubine Xian, but..."

He didn't need to say anything else, everyone knew it.

"How cruel!" Someone murmured softly.

If Concubine Xian had done something against the will of heaven, or harmed her or her family's interests, no one would blame her for doing so. However, Concubine Xian did not do anything, yet she harmed others like this. How vicious!

However, Lingrong was not surprised by Concubine Qi's behavior. After all, she knew from her previous life that Concubine Qi was stupid and bad, so Lingrong was not surprised by anything she did. But she did not expect that what happened next would be beyond her expectations.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I have done something wrong, so I want to make amends." Concubine Qi knelt upright, looking very confident.

"Tell me." The emperor and everyone looked at her curiously, wanting to know how she would make amends.

"I report that Concubine Xian is having an affair."

Phew, Lingrong, who was originally drinking tea leisurely, burst out laughing when she heard this. She didn't expect that in her previous life, she reported Concubine Xi for having an affair, and in this life, Concubine Qi still did her old job and reported herself for having an affair.

The sound of her tea spurting out was incredibly loud. Seeing everyone's gaze focused on her, she couldn't help but blush. "Go on, I didn't know I was actually having an affair. I just don't know who this lunatic is that's having an affair with me."

When the emperor heard what Concubine Qi said, his face instantly darkened. This was not just a matter for Concubine Xian, but also a disgrace to the royal family.

"Noble Lady Qi, please provide evidence when speaking, and don't speak without proof." Noble Lady Cao, who came later, heard this sentence and thought to herself, didn't you say that this was just a guess? Why did you say it out loud?

"I have evidence."

After hearing their speculation, Concubine Qi ordered people to investigate, and they did find out something, so when she heard Concubine Cao's words, she didn't care.

"Then tell me, who is that person?"

"It's Prince Guo."

Hearing Concubine Qi's testimony, Ling Rong frowned and thought for a moment. It seemed that she and Prince Guo had no connection at all. It seemed that the two had never met in private.

When Concubine Qi, who was kneeling below, saw Concubine Xian frowning, she felt that she had guessed right, and her tone became even more determined.

"Your Majesty, I request your permission to bring a witness."

The emperor was also very upset. He had a tight watch on the Yongshou Palace, but he could still pin the crime of adultery on Concubine Xian. The emperor didn't know what to say. He nodded helplessly, wanting to see what Concubine Qi would come up with.

Not only the emperor thought so, in fact everyone in the harem thought so. Even if Concubine Qi was framed, the charge should be changed.

The servants from Chuxiu Palace immediately brought back a young eunuch. Concubine Qi knelt upright and bowed her head slightly to report, "Your Majesty, this eunuch is in charge of sweeping the Imperial Garden. He heard Concubine Xian talking to Prince Guo when she was still a promise."

After saying this, he half turned around and looked at the young eunuch, who immediately replied, "It's been so long, I don't remember the exact date. I only remember that when Concubine Xian was still Jing Yan, she met someone who claimed to be Prince Guo, and they exchanged a few words."

"What did the two of them talk about?" the Queen asked. Not only was the Queen curious, but in fact everyone present was curious except Lingrong and the Emperor.

"Nothing was said. It was just that Concubine Xian was sitting by a small table reading a book. Then the man asked who was sitting there. Concubine Xian said it was the new concubine Jing, and then asked who the other person was. He said he was Prince Guo."
