After the result came out, the emperor looked as if it was just as he expected. "Let her see," Su Peisheng ordered and brought the bowl to Concubine Qi so that she could see clearly that the two people's blood had indeed not merged.

Concubine Qi was in disbelief. “Impossible, impossible, they said it, they said it,” she kept repeating.

"They? Who are they?" Lingrong grasped the key point. Even if she knew who they were, she couldn't say it. It would only be useful if it came from Concubine Qi.

"They? They?" Ling Rong's words made her think and feel conflicted. She was wondering if they could save her, or if it would be easier to drag them into the water than to expect them to save her?

Before Concubine Qi could figure it out, Concubine Hua added insult to injury, "Of course, whoever is close to her is the one who instigated it!"

Who is usually on good terms with her? Of course, it's Zhen Huan and Concubine Chun. Concubine Hua used to hate Zhen Huan for competing with her for favor, and now she doesn't like her even if she's not competing for favor. Isn't it easy to kick someone when they're down?

"Your Majesty, it's..." Before Concubine Qi could finish her words, she was interrupted harshly.

"Your Majesty, no matter who Concubine Qi listened to the nonsense, the false accusation has become a fact. If she arbitrarily accuses anyone, the former dynasty and the harem will be in turmoil." Concubine Wan spoke. She shouldn't have spoken at this time, but if Concubine Qi really accused her of something, even if she would not be affected, it would affect her image in the emperor's heart. After all, once the seeds of suspicion are planted, it is difficult to remove them.

After hearing what Zhen Huan said, Lingrong was a little confused. She had never had any contact with Prince Guo, so why would they suspect that she had an affair with Prince Guo?

"What's wrong, Concubine Wan, are you feeling guilty?" Concubine Hua was an expert at taking advantage of others' misfortunes, and she hit Zhen Huan's sore spot with just one sentence.

"Noble Concubine Hua, although you are honored as a noble concubine, you cannot speak nonsense. I am just speaking the truth. What if Noble Concubine Qi is talking about you?" Zhen Huan's eloquence was good, but she could not dispel other people's doubts after all.

"Oh! Me? Does she have the guts to frame me? Besides, why would I frame Concubine Xian? Apart from the Seventh Prince, she has no family background and no money. Humph!" Concubine Hua sneered. In fact, she swallowed the words in her mouth. Now I am not vying for favor anymore, and all of you are just clouds.

Listening to Concubine Hua's explanation, Lingrong couldn't help but curl her lips. It was indeed the truth, but why did she want her to shut up so much!

"But, Madam, you don't need evidence to frame someone; you can just strike first. Even if you can prove your innocence, you'll still give them something to accuse you of."

What Zhen Huan said is right. This is what people often say, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Why doesn't she frame others but you?

"Dong, dong, dong," the sound of knuckles knocking on the table was neither fast nor slow. Everyone fell silent. The emperor did not say a word, but everyone in the hall heard impatience, anger, and majesty in the knocking sounds.

The atmosphere in the palace was so quiet that it was depressing. Lingrong knew that the emperor was going to deal with Concubine Qi. First, she poisoned the Seventh Prince, then set fire to the Yongshou Palace and almost burned the emperor to death, and also slandered Lingrong for having an affair. These things showed that Concubine Qi was brainless and would believe anything she heard.

Lingrong looked carefully at the emperor's expression and couldn't help but wonder if the emperor himself also regretted falling for Concubine Qi. Although she was beautiful, she was really stupid. If these things were to be spread out, each one would affect the reputation of the royal family.
