"Shut up!"

It was so hard to see three concubines pregnant at once, but after just over two months, one of the children was gone. Qi Yejing was already in a bad mood, and when he saw that Concubine Sun was unruly, he became even angrier.

"If you dare to scream again, I will have you dragged out and beaten to death."

Concubine Sun immediately fell silent, a hint of grievance appeared in her eyes, but she dared not say a word.

Qi Yejing took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Dong Ling, call in all the people who serve Xiao Cairen."

A talented person has no more than ten people around him, and most of them are servants, so Qi Yejing can only ask Chunxiang.

"Where did the Hibiscus Dew that Xiaocairen uses come from?"

"In reply to the emperor, the Hibiscus Dew was given to our young master by Concubine Sun."

"Nonsense, when did I ever give your young lady a bottle of Hibiscus Dew?"

"It's that bottle of green perfume, don't you remember it, Lady Sun?"

"Oh, it's the green bottle of perfume. No, when I gave it to you, I only said it was a bottle of perfume, but I didn't say it was called Hibiscus Dew."

"That name was given by our young master."

"But, whether it's called Hibiscus Dew or Begonia Dew, it has nothing to do with me, because that bottle of perfume was given to me by someone else."

"Who gave it to you?"

"Zhang Changzai."

As soon as this name came out, Concubine Sun's eyes widened.

"Zhang Changzai, it turns out that you are the one who harmed me. I was saying that you were clearly following Concubine Zhou before, so why did you suddenly follow Concubine Xiao? It turns out that you wanted to help Concubine Zhou murder Concubine Xiao's unborn child. Not only did you murder the child in her belly, you also pushed all the charges on me. How could you be so cruel?"

"How dare you, a mere noble, accuse me without any evidence. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"

"Don't be angry, Concubine Zhou. Without solid evidence, the emperor and I will not believe her. Besides, I have been with you for so many years, so I naturally believe that you are not that kind of person."

If the Queen said that Concubine Zhou pushed Concubine Xiao down in a rage, causing her to have a miscarriage, the Queen would still believe it. But she didn't have the brains to add purslane to the lotus dew and then let Zhang Changzai win the trust of Concubine Sun and let Concubine Xiao use the lotus dew.

The Queen believed in her, and Qi Yejing naturally believed in her as well.

"Just sit still. With me and the Queen here, no one can wrongly accuse you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Queen."

Concubine Zhou sat down slowly, and Yun Zhining spoke slowly.

"I suddenly remembered something. After Little Grape was sent to the Yongshou Palace of Concubine De, I was bored alone, so I asked Qingzhu to go to the Zoo and pick out a rabbit and a parrot for me to entertain myself. Qingzhu accidentally heard the maids there say that more than a month ago, Concubine Sun and Concubine Zhang met in the Zoo and spent some time together alone. Maybe that was when they conspired to poison Concubine Xiao."

Chunxiang shuddered and became instantly excited.

"That's right. That Hibiscus Dew was given to our young master by Concubine Sun more than a month ago. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine Sun must have been jealous that our young master was pregnant, but she was not favored and had no children, so she teamed up with Concubine Zhang to kill the baby in our young master's belly. Our young master is really too pitiful. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, you must make a decision for her!"

"No, that's not the case. This matter has nothing to do with me. It really has nothing to do with me!"

"Shut up, Zhang Changzai, and you speak."

After being named by Qi Yejing, Zhang Changzai immediately stepped out.

"In reply to the emperor, Chunxiang guessed correctly. It was Concubine Sun who instructed me to do this."

"Nonsense, I have such a good relationship with Xiao Cairen, how could I hurt the baby in her belly?"

Zhang Changzai sneered.

"Because you are jealous of her. She has been favored by the emperor for a shorter time than you, and she got pregnant earlier than you. She even bullied you because of the baby in her belly. So you want to get rid of the baby in her belly. Without this child, she will have no one to rely on, and she will never dare to bully you again."

"I haven't finished yet. Not only did you kill Xiao Cairen's baby, but you were also jealous of Mingpin and asked me to release a poisonous snake to bite her. This way, she would have two lives."

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything."

"Since you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Zhang Changzai took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and presented them to Qi Yejing with both hands.

"This is the testimony of the maids in the Zoo. If Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress do not believe it, you can send someone to interrogate them. If they say even a single lie, I am willing to die as an apology."

"No need, I trust you."

Qi Yejing quickly glanced at the testimony, then threw it on Concubine Sun’s face and shouted angrily.

"Noble Lady Sun has plotted to murder the heir to the throne. She is immoral and has no moral integrity. She shall be stripped of her title, demoted to a commoner, and sentenced to death."

"No, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am truly innocent."

Concubine Sun’s cries did not gain any sympathy. No one was willing to stand up and plead for her. Everyone watched calmly as she was dragged away by the guards, with a little bit of joy in their hearts.

With one less noisy competitor, the harem will be much quieter in the future, and they will have more opportunities to gain the emperor's favor. It's a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, so who would stop it? Wouldn't that be stupid?

As the mastermind, Sun was stripped of his title and sentenced to death. As an accomplice, Zhang Changzai was not much better off and was given a three-foot white silk. Yun Fulan lost her child, so Qi Yejing promoted her to a noble lady and gave her some symbolic rewards, and the matter was over.

However, Yun Fulan did not go there, so she went to Sun's bedroom late at night.

Yun Zhining had been sending people to keep an eye on her, and when they saw her go to find Sun, they immediately followed to watch the fun.

Little did they know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, there is an oriole behind it. Behind them, there is another person following them.

Originally, there were a few other people living with Sun, but after this incident, the Queen moved them all away. Now Sun is the only one left here. There are two burly maids watching her outside, and they will send her on her way when the time comes.

Yun Fulan paid some silver and the nanny let her in.

"Squeak!"

The sound of the door opening woke up Sun. She looked up quickly, and when she saw that the person coming was Yun Fulan, she became excited instantly.

"Sister Fu, are you here to save me?"

"I really don't know about the Furong Lu incident. It was Chang Zhang who caused me trouble. I don't mean to harm you. I really don't mean to harm you. You have to believe me."

Yun Fulan pushed her away with a very cold expression.

"Sister Fu, ..."
