She had said before that no one who went against her would have a good ending.

"Hurry up and tell that old woman about this. If she gets emotional because of Ye Qingluo's matter, it's hard to say what will happen."

in the palace.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, the wife of Marquis Pingyuan is here."

When Ye Qingluo stepped into the imperial study, he felt several gazes looking at him.

In addition to the emperor, there are some familiar faces here.

Wang Jing, and Li Er...

Ye Qingluo already felt something was wrong. Why did they appear here? As for the man standing next to Wang Jing and Li Er, he looked to be in his early thirties and was looking at him with an inquiring look.

"Ye Qingluo, do you know these people?"

"I know him." Ye Qingluo replied, "Li Er is the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall and is responsible for the affairs of the hall. As for Wang Jing, he had stayed in Huichun Hall for a period of time and suddenly disappeared after the incident."

"Your Majesty, I suspect that the missing booklet from Huichun Hall is related to Wang Jing."

Wang Jing got anxious when he heard this and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I am wrongly accusing you. I was just away for a day because of something else. When I came back, I learned about what happened in Huichun Hall."

"Madam Pingyuan Hou, you can't wrongly accuse someone for no reason."

Wang Jing looked at Ye Qingluo angrily and argued with reason.

Li Er was angry, "Wang Jing, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor, and even said that the lady wronged you!"

"Then tell me where you went that day and why you followed Doctor Lu here."

Li Er used a few brief sentences to explain to Ye Qingluo what had happened.

"land?"

Ye Qingluo suddenly understood that he was Lu Ling.

"Manager Li, I behave myself well every day in Huichuntang and have never made any mistakes. You can't speak for me just because you are from the Madam's side. Or do you want to kill me because I heard about the counterfeit goods?"

"If I hadn't met Doctor Lu who rescued me during my escape, I would have lost my life long ago. That's why I decided to report you to the emperor and expose your crimes even at the risk of my own life!" Wang Jing spoke confidently, looking completely fearless.

The emperor frowned. "Are you saying that all of this was caused by the people of Huichun Hall, including the wife of Pingyuan Hou?"

"And the reason you were not in Huichun Hall that day was because you were being hunted down?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Since you personally bestowed the Huichuntang plaque, I have always thought that Huichuntang is a good place to go. I want to learn some skills so that I can treat more people in the future. But as time goes by, I find that this is not the case."

"After Lady Pingyuan gave the beauty serum to Li Er to sell, it was very effective and attracted many noble ladies and wives of aristocratic families in Beijing. The beauty serum became a hot commodity."

"But things will eventually run out, so Li Er proposed to sell a bottle of beauty serum for one thousand taels. Your Majesty, one thousand taels is already a sky-high price for ordinary people. I wanted to dissuade him, but I didn't expect to hear Li Er discussing with Madam Ye to make counterfeit products and pass them off as good ones. Huichuntang has your plaque, so even if someone questions it, they dare not cause trouble."

"Li Er and Madam Ye used this method to amass a large amount of money, and even deceived His Royal Highness the Regent into trusting them."

Wang Jing seemed to have memorized these words long ago, and did not pause for a single word.
