Qin Rubing ordered people to seal off the scene.

The Emperor of the East came looking for information and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Eastern Emperor was furious, and the servants around him knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Qin Rubing bowed respectfully to the Emperor Dong and said, "Your Majesty, I have found many suspicious points at this scene. I am afraid that someone is deliberately plotting to murder me."

Dongdi nodded slightly, indicating that she should continue.

Qin Rubing pointed at a handkerchief on the ground and said, "This handkerchief is not mine, but it appeared here. It must have been left behind by the murderer in a panic. And this spice smell can only be found in Lipin's palace."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dong immediately sent people to search Concubine Li's palace.

Not long after, the servants found something that looked like poison. Concubine Li was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kept crying out for injustice.

At this time, Qin Rubing, who had been silent all this time, spoke again: "Your Majesty, perhaps there is another hidden story behind this, and Lipin may just be a pawn."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Qin Rubing to speak for Concubine Li.

Qin Rubing went on to analyze and pointed out that the real mastermind behind the scenes might be Concubine Xian, who had been coveting the throne of empress for a long time. She deliberately framed Concubine Li and provoked trouble.

After hearing this, Emperor Dong's eyes became serious and he ordered a reinvestigation. Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire Qin Rubing's scheming and wisdom.

When Concubine Xian heard this, she was shocked but she pretended to be calm.

She came before the Emperor of the East and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. How can the Crown Princess slander me like this?"

Qin Rubing smiled gently and took out a secret letter and presented it to him.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter that I accidentally got. It is the correspondence between Concubine Xian and someone outside the palace. It mentioned that Concubine Li was used to frame me."

The Eastern Emperor, who was high above and dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, slightly stretched out his well-maintained, slender and powerful hand and took a letter that looked quite important from the guard.

He gently opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and quickly scanned the densely written words on it.

As he read deeper, Dongdi's originally calm face gradually showed a ripple, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if an invisible anger was burning in his heart.

Finally, when he finished reading the last word, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, staring straight at Concubine Xian not far away.

Concubine Xian fell to her knees and cried, saying that it was a forgery.

Qin Rubing added: "Your Majesty, you can summon the person mentioned in the letter to the palace for confrontation."

Not long after, a figure was seen walking slowly towards them, escorted by guards.

The man came in front of the crowd trembling with fear. When he raised his eyes and saw the scene in front of him, his face turned pale instantly, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Under the majestic gaze of the East Emperor, the man said terrifiedly:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Imperial Concubine Xian ordered me to do all this. I dare not hide anything and am willing to tell you everything truthfully."

When the imperial concubine heard this, her body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. She lost all her strength in an instant and fell limply on the cold ground.

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief and despair, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

The Eastern Emperor, who was standing aside, had a face full of anger and his disappointment was evident in his words.

His eyes, which were originally full of tenderness and doting, were now filled with anger as he stared fiercely at Concubine Xian who was lying on the ground.

Concubine Li looked at Qin Rubing with tears of gratitude, and Qin Rubing comforted her with a few words.

Afterwards, Qin Rubing's prestige in the harem increased greatly due to this incident, and other concubines did not dare to provoke her easily.

Qin Rubing knew very well that the struggle in the harem would never end and she had to remain vigilant at all times.
