After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

"Your Majesty, I only put in half of the medicine that the eldest prince gave me. I kept the rest. Your Majesty, I really never thought of killing you." Pearl sobbed.

"Besides these, what else have you done?" Zhenpin continued to ask.

"I really don't have my queen anymore." Pearl cried out, "My queen, I swear I really don't have my queen anymore."

"Zhenzhu, am I treating you well?" Concubine Zhen asked disappointedly, "What did the eldest prince promise you that you would kill me for him?"

“Your Majesty…” Pearl kowtowed, “Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please have mercy on me!”

"If you confess the truth, I might spare your life because you have served me for many years. But when you go to the Emperor tomorrow, I'm afraid you will be dead for sure." Concubine Zhen thought to herself.

Pearl's eyes flashed with panic, as if she was struggling in her heart. After a while, she finally spoke, "My queen, the eldest prince said... that if I help him do this, he will give me 100 taels of gold and let me leave the palace."

"That's it?" Concubine Zhen didn't disbelieve what she said.

Just because we have been together since childhood.

A look from her.

She can clearly know what she is thinking.

Pearl's parents are both gone.

If it's just a hundred taels of gold, let her leave the palace.

Concubine Zhen didn't think she could be bribed.

"Since you don't want to talk, just stay here." Concubine Zhen laughed and shook her head: "Zhenzhu, considering that you have been with me for many years, I will give you one more night to think carefully about whether you want to live or not."

Concubine Zhen tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Before today, she never knew.

It turns out that as long as the poison doesn't kill people, it doesn't count as harming people.

What made Zhenpin even more sad was that the person she trusted the most eventually succumbed to the temptation and betrayed her.

She suddenly felt isolated and helpless in this huge palace.

The next morning.

As soon as Emperor Yuanwu came home from his morning court session, Concubine Shu reported everything about Concubine Zhen to him.

"Father, I am innocent." Mu Junyao knelt on the ground. "I have no grudge against Concubine Zhen. I have never even met her. And I tried to bribe the maids around her and poisoned her."

Concubine Zhen knelt beside Concubine Shu and wiped her tears: "Your Majesty, I have never wronged the eldest prince. Last night, they were passing the poison and were caught by the guards on the spot. Zhenzhu herself gave away the eldest prince."

"Oh." Mu Junyao sneered: "Zhenzhu is the maidservant who came with Concubine Zhen as a dowry. God knows what you two, the master and the servant, are up to to frame me like this."

"I... didn't." Concubine Zhen was startled and denied, "Your Majesty, everything I said was true. I did not frame the eldest prince."

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that what Zhenzhu and the little eunuch said is true?" Mu Junyao said angrily: "Did someone see me giving poison to the little eunuch and Zhenzhu, or did the poison have my name written on it?"

"This..." Concubine Zhen paused, choking and unable to speak for a long time.

In addition to the little eunuch she captured, there were also the confessions of Zhenzhu and the other person.

She had no substantial evidence to prove that the poison was indeed given to them by the eldest prince.

How could Emperor Yuanwu believe the one-sided words of two slaves?

"Haha." Mu Junyao's lips curled up in a cunning arc: "I guess... Queen Zhenpin has ulterior motives and wants to help Queen Shufei!"
