Bingyan felt nervous after hearing Shu Fei's words. She lowered her head quickly and replied with a trembling voice, "No... I don't know... I haven't asked."

"Oh, that's a shame."

Concubine Shu sighed in a pretended regretful manner, but then she said calmly, "But it's not difficult to investigate.

After all, this kind of thing is extremely rare.”

Hearing this, Bingyan's body trembled involuntarily, her hands clenched into fists, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The more she said, the more mistakes she made. How could she make amends for it?

All of this was seen by the emperor sitting at the top.

He frowned. It seemed that this palace maid was involved with quite a lot of people.

He naturally wouldn't think that a palace concubine of a lower rank would harm a prince's concubine.

There must be someone else in there, but I don't know who it could be.

Just then, Mingwei came back.

In her hands she held a tray filled with various items.

She presented these things to Concubine Shu and the Emperor with a puzzled look on her face.

Concubine Shu looked at the several gold rings and some silver bills on the tray, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile, "Where did you find these things?"

Ming smiled slightly and replied softly, "To answer your Majesty, these things were found in her pillow."

"Oh, I didn't expect you have this habit of sleeping with money as a pillow. Do you feel more at ease this way?"

The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

But when Bingge looked at those things, his expression became dull for a moment, and even his face turned pale.

Her lips trembled and she stammered, "I...I...I don't know...this is not mine..."

Her voice began to tremble, and there was obvious panic in her tone.

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Concubine Shu lost her patience.

Her eyes became sharp, staring at the ice pigeon closely, and asked in a cold tone: "What's going on with these things?

Who bribed you, how much did you reveal, and who did you tell? "

Her voice was full of authority and anger.

Bingge's face turned paler and paler. She lowered her head, not daring to look Shufei in the eye. She cried and said, "I don't know...really...I really don't know."

Shufei's anger rose instantly, and she looked at the person in front of her with gritted teeth.

This person had actually stayed in her palace for ten years, but it turned out to be someone else's spy! And she had never noticed it!

Now she dares to say she knows nothing. Does she think that just saying she doesn't know is enough?

Concubine Shu took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her inner anger, and tried to make her voice calm.

He continued, "Who ordered you to do that? Why did you want to harm Shen Jingyi?"

At this time, the emperor said calmly: "If you don't speak, send her to prison! They will make her speak."

A trace of despair flashed in Bai Ge's eyes. She shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her cheeks, and murmured to herself: "I can't say it... My family is in their hands, I can't say anything..."

The concubine's eyes froze for a moment when she heard the emperor's words, but she immediately recovered her composure. It seemed that the emperor's patience was over.

You have to know that once you go to the prison, there is no chance of coming out safe and sound.

King Xuan, however, heard the breakthrough and said calmly: "Who holds your family? Since you are concerned about their safety, don't you want to set them free?"

"I want to! But I dare not..." Bingge's voice became weaker and weaker, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her cheeks were full of grievance and helplessness.

“They threatened me that if I didn’t obey his orders, my family would be harmed.

Madam, I'm sorry, I just want to save their lives!"

The emperor's expression was no longer gentle. He frowned slightly and said majestically: "In this case, you should tell us who is behind this, so that your family can be protected.

Don’t you even believe me?”

After hearing this, the white pigeon looked up at the emperor, then crawled down with its forehead touching the ground, begging, "Your Majesty, please! I am willing to do anything as long as I can save my family!"

After hearing her say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was willing to say it, that was good enough.

Just as the emperor was about to make a promise, he saw two hidden weapons flying in.

The secret guard immediately appeared and blocked one of the missiles, and the other one hit the white dove's heart.

She fell down instantly.
