It happened that Wang Jieyu also woke up at this time. The first thing she did was to touch her belly. Knowing that her baby was still there, Wang Jieyu immediately asked the palace maid to help her walk out.

When Min Ning saw her pale face and noticed Wang Jieyu's belly, he quickly stepped forward, supported her and spoke softly.

"You're not feeling well, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

But Wang Jieyu started to cry, "Your Majesty, you have to help me. Concubine Zhao is so abominable. She even openly bullied me and made me kneel down to pick up food to eat."

He simply erased the important process in between and did not mention at all the fact that he was a robber and robbed the flower cakes.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Min Ning looked at Xianxian with a slightly unhappy expression, but he never expected that Xianxian was standing not far away calmly.

"Is this possible?"

Min Ning looked at Xianxian steadily, obviously waiting for Xianxian to explain.

But at this time, Rupin interrupted and said, "Today, I paid my respects to Madam Quanfei. So many people can testify that Zhaopin did say that, which made Concubine Wang so angry that her stomach hurt."

"Quan Fei, is this true?"

Compared to what these women said, Min Ning wanted to hear what Concubine Quan said more.

Concubine Quan looked at Xianxian, and then said to Min Ning, "Your Majesty, I handled this matter improperly. I wanted to let all the sisters taste the fresh flower cake, but I forgot to unify the appearance."

"Wang Jieyu wanted to eat cherries, and there happened to be cherries on Zhaopin's flower cake. Zhaopin failed to hold it, and the flower cake fell to the ground and became dust."

"Zhaopin did say that, but she just spoke her mind at the time."

These impartial words surprised Xianxian a little. Concubine Quan was indeed the most fair and just person.

Concubine Wang gritted her teeth unwillingly, then covered her belly with her hands, her face pale and pitiful.

"Your Majesty, the prince in my belly is still young, how could I listen to someone insulting his mother?"

"No matter how outspoken Concubine Zhao is, she shouldn't say such harsh words to provoke me. She must have ulterior motives!"

Seeing Concubine Wang denouncing Xianxian, Concubine Ru, who had long held a grudge against Xianxian, would not miss this opportunity.

"Yes, Concubine Wang is right. What Concubine Zhao did was really excessive. Your Majesty, please make the decision for Concubine Wang."

Xianxian stood there and said nothing, just watched them act with a slightly sarcastic look in her eyes.

Min Ning really liked the open and charming Xianxian, but the child in Concubine Wang's belly was particularly important. What's more, Xianxian also did something wrong in this matter.

Not wanting to cause more trouble in the harem, Min Ning said in a cold voice, "In that case, Zhaopin will be confined to Luanyue Palace for a month and is not allowed to leave the palace even a step."

"The concubine accepts the order."

Xianxian bent her knees expressionlessly, then turned around and walked outside.

At this time, Min Ning frowned and said unhappily, "Princess Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

Looking at Xianxian who was so indifferent, Min Ning felt very uncomfortable for some reason.

She did not cry out for injustice, as if she knew the outcome from the beginning. She stiffened her neck and refused to bow her head, not even a word of argument.

Xianxian heard the voice and turned around, curling her lips, "Your Majesty, what else can I say? Concubine Wang relied on her belly to try to steal my things, can't I fight back?"

These words actually made Min Ning laugh, "You don't think you're wrong?"

"What have I done wrong? Is it because I can't compare to Concubine Wang's belly? In your Majesty's eyes, I should give everything to Concubine Wang. You convict me like this, and I have nothing to say."

It was so bold that the concubines around looked at Xianxian in shock, and even Quan Fei was a little stunned.

As expected, Min Ning's face turned cold and he said angrily, "Okay, Zhaopin is so bold and reckless. It seems that she can't think clearly in a one-month confinement. In this case, let's confine her for three months."

"It's really because I dote on you too much. I really dote on you to the point where you are lawless and so presumptuous!"

Seeing Xianxian in trouble, Rupin and Wang Jieyu both looked happy, only Quanfei on the side was a little stunned.

She looked at Min Ning with complicated eyes.

Xianxian smiled sarcastically, raised her chin, and knelt down to Min Ning.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. I will reflect on my mistakes when I return to Luanyue Palace."

She stood up and walked away, and Pearl beside her hurriedly followed her.

"Your Majesty, why don't you accompany me?"

Concubine Wang spoke boldly, "My little prince was just frightened and needs your majesty's comfort..."

"Someone, send Concubine Wang back to the palace to take care of her pregnancy."

Min Ning, who was in a state of confusion at this moment, looked at Concubine Wang and said, "I have something to discuss with Concubine Quan, so I can't accompany you today."

Concubine Wang opened her mouth slightly, but when she thought of Concubine Quan, she finally returned to the palace unwillingly.

After all the concubines left and returned to the palace, Concubine Quan cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, do you need to rest for a while?"

Min Ning said nothing, just nodded and entered Concubine Quan's bedroom.

Looking at Min Ning's back, Concubine Quan shook her head helplessly, and finally asked someone to light some calming incense for Min Ning so that Min Ning could have a good sleep.

Some people's hearts may have fallen without them realizing it.

Here, Xianxian walked out of the palace in a daze, and Zhenzhu hurried forward to support Xianxian.

"My lady, do you need a sedan chair?"

But Xianxian shook her head and refused.

"No need to walk, tell them to go back first. I still have three months of house arrest. It would be better to walk back to Luanyue Palace. I will feel more comfortable there."

On the surface, Xianxian looked very sad, but in fact, she was performing according to the time.

Firstly, it was for all the concubines in the palace to see, and secondly, it was for Min Yucheng who came to the palace to pay his respects.

Sure enough, when Xianxian walked to a secluded and deserted path, Min Yucheng caught up with her at some point.

"Empress Zhao."

A voice of "My Queen" called Xianxian, who was standing under a big tree at that time.

Her face was slightly pale and she looked a bit frail. Pearl, who was standing by, was very considerate and quickly stepped aside to keep watch.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

She bent her knees towards Min Yucheng delicately, but unexpectedly she fell forward unsteadily. Min Yucheng quickly supported her.

The sweet fragrance from the woman's body rushed into his nose, as if it entered his heart and lungs through his breath. Min Yucheng couldn't help but move his nose tip and inhale deeply.

The two of them were very close, as if Min Yucheng was hugging Xianxian in his arms. Xianxian realized that the sunset glowed on her cheeks and she gently supported her hands on Min Yucheng's chest.

Min Yucheng came to his senses and relaxed, making sure that Xianxian was standing firmly, then he pulled away and looked at her.

In fact, Min Yucheng saw everything that happened in the Quanfei Palace just now, and he saw that Xianxian was sad because of Min Ning's blame.
