Yun Zhining's eyes were red and she refused to speak, but Zhou Baozhu couldn't hold her temper anymore and told her everything that had just happened.

"Just now, Sister Ming was sleeping, and suddenly she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she went out to the toilet. After walking a few steps, she felt a little flustered, so she turned back. Who knew that when she came in, she saw a palace maid standing at the head of the bed, trying to do that to you."

"Sister Ming immediately asked someone to take her down, but she was also sad because of it."

"How dare you, my servant, do such a thing to me!"

"Where is she? Bring her here immediately. I want to interrogate her thoroughly."

Seeing that Qi Yejing took the initiative to deal with the palace maid, Yun Zhining ordered Qingzhu to bring the person in.

"Snapped!"

The maid fell to her knees, trembling.

"Slave, slave, greets the emperor, His Majesty."

"You still know that I am the emperor, but do you know what crime you should be punished for deliberately seducing the emperor?"

Dong Ling said coldly.

"The palace maid had evil intentions and attempted to seduce the emperor. If she is discovered, she will be beaten to death immediately!"

"No, that's not fair, that's not fair!"

The maid screamed, her face full of confusion.

"We are both palace maids, and we both seduced the emperor. Why should I be executed, while Mingxia can fly up to the tree and become a phoenix?"

"I don't accept it!"

"Dissatisfied!"

Qi Yejing kicked her to the ground.

"Why do you refuse to accept?"

"According to palace rules, Mingxia should have been executed, but Concubine Wende was kind-hearted and begged me for mercy, so I spared her."

"If everyone was like her, trying to change their fate through that method, I wonder how many plots I would have to face in my daily life?"

"We naturally cannot tolerate this happening frequently."

The maid immediately grasped the key point.

"Your Highness, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so obsessed as to betray you and do such a thing. Please ask your Highness to ask the Emperor for mercy and forgive me this time."

"I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future. I will go through fire and water for you without even frowning."

"Please ask your majesty to plead for this servant."

"The slave is still young."

"I don't want to die."

"I really don't want to die!"

"I won't plead for you, so just give up on this idea!"

Yun Zhining refused outright with a very cold expression.

"You knew that Mingxia had betrayed Concubine Wende and climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed, making Concubine Wende a laughing stock in the entire harem, yet you still did this."

"You don't care about my face, why should I care about your life?"

"I ask the emperor to execute this maid to set things right."

She failed, and Yun Zhining hated her so much. Moreover, she knew very well that such a thing had just happened some time ago. He was called by the two empresses and scolded. She still wanted to frame him and make Yun Zhining a laughing stock in the entire harem. Qi Yejing naturally could not tolerate her.

"Come here, drag this maid out and beat her to death in front of all the servants in Qingning Palace!"

"No!"

Seeing that not only did she not get the status she wanted, but she was also going to lose her life, the palace maid instantly panicked.

"As a palace concubine, Concubine Wende is very kind. Even if a palace maid makes a mistake, she will not kill her. Instead, she will handle the matter properly and try to minimize the losses of all parties."

"But you are so cruel. I didn't succeed, but you instigated the emperor to beat me to death in public. If the two queen dowagers and the queen knew that you were so cruel, they would definitely teach you a lesson."

"Definitely!"

Yun Zhining was not threatened by her at all.

"Eunuch Dong Ling has just said that if a palace maid has ill intentions and uses various means to climb onto the dragon bed, she will be beaten to death immediately once she is discovered. No one is exempt. Are you a pig? Don't you understand what people say?"

"Also, you just said that Concubine Wende was kind and benevolent. Even though Mingxia did such a despicable thing, she didn't teach Mingxia a lesson and even won her a status. I don't agree with that."

"She thought she was a kind and benevolent person because she didn't teach Mingxia a lesson. Bullshit. Her behavior is a hidden danger for the harem. The maids in other palaces will follow Mingxia's example and extend their claws to the emperor. The emperor's health will be damaged and the harem will be in chaos."

"I ask the emperor to uphold justice for all the sisters in the harem."

Yun Zhining's words were quite obscure, but the meaning was very clear, she wanted him to punish Concubine Wende.

If it were someone else, at another time, Qi Yejing would definitely stand on the side of Concubine Wende and blame Yun Zhining for making a fuss.

But recently Yun Zhining became pregnant, and some little secrets gradually emerged from her body. He became more interested in Yun Zhining, but Concubine Wende repeatedly did things that made him unhappy, so he naturally would not unconditionally favor Concubine Wende.

However, Concubine Wende was of higher status than Yun Zhining after all, and he could not punish her with just one sentence.

You have to think about it carefully.

"Get up first. I will give you a satisfactory answer later."

Seeing that Qi Yejing was using the delaying tactic again, Yun Zhining felt a little displeased.

It seems that she has to use her trump card. Even if she cannot severely injure Concubine Wende this time, she must leave a thorn in Qi Yejing's heart. In this way, when she exposes Concubine Wende's evil deeds later, he will be more disgusted with her, and the punishment she will receive will be more severe.

After becoming pregnant with this child, the system rewarded her with five truth pills. After taking them, no matter what questions were asked, the person who took the pills would tell the truth.

She had never used it before, but it came in handy today.

She immediately gave the palace maid a pill, and thinking that the drug was beginning to take effect, she deliberately frowned.

Qi Yejing was a little unhappy, and just as he was about to speak, he heard her say.

"I suddenly remembered something. Before Mingxia did that, I took Little Putao to Yongshou Palace. Concubine Wende hadn't seen Little Putao for a long time and was particularly reluctant to see her. So she took Little Putao out to play while I sat inside drinking tea. It was Mingxia who served me tea at that time."

It dawned on her.

"Does Concubine Wende think that I was the one who instigated Mingxia to do such a despicable thing?"

"If that's the case, then what happened today was most likely done by Concubine Wende who ordered this palace maid to do it."

"If what we did today succeeds, the sisters in the harem will shift their targets and laugh at Sister Ming. Then she can get out of the whirlpool of public opinion."

"What a vicious plan, what a cruel heart!"

Zhou Baozhu's mind worked quickly, and she soon realized that this matter was most likely instigated by Concubine Wende.

Anyway, she didn't think about competing for favor, having children, and rising step by step when she entered the palace. As long as her family had money and was willing to pay tribute to Qi Yejing, Qi Yejing would not abandon her completely, so she said whatever she thought, as long as she was happy.

If Qi Yejing wasn’t there, Yun Zhining really wanted to give her a bear hug.

Even though this girl only knows how to eat and drink all day long, she can always say what she wants to say at critical moments. She is really a great teammate!

It was such a blessing for her in her previous life to have such a helper!

She was happy, but Qi Yejing was unhappy.

"Since you don't want to die, then answer me a question. If your answer satisfies me, I will spare your life. If not, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

He had already dropped a life-saving straw, so the palace maid would naturally grab it.

"Your Majesty, please ask me anything you want. I will tell you everything I know."

"Very good, then tell me, did you act today out of your own accord, wanting to imitate Ming Xia and fly up to the treetops and become a phoenix, or was someone instructing you to deliberately embarrass Ming Yuerong?"

"Of course, ..."

The maid lied subconsciously, but her mouth uncontrollably spoke the truth.

"Empress Wende ordered this servant to do it."

"Mingxia did such a dirty thing, which made Concubine Wende suffer all kinds of ridicule. Concubine Wende accidentally learned that Mingxia had served tea to Mingyuerong before the incident, so she suspected that Mingyuerong had instigated Mingxia to do such a thing, so she gave me some money and asked me to sneak onto the emperor's dragon bed and slap Mingyuerong when she was not prepared."

"This way, the harem's attention will be on Ming Yuerong, and no one will ridicule her."

She poured out everything like beans from a bamboo tube. After she finished, she stood there in a daze, completely disheartened.
