Xiao Luzi opened the things in his hand layer by layer.

Inside was a package wrapped in milky white paper.

When Aunt Zhang saw it, she excitedly shouted, "Your Majesty, this is the package, this is the package. This is what my family promised to give me. Your Majesty, please check it out."

The Queen took a quick glance, then immediately ordered Madam Rong to go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Doctor Hu over.

Doctor Hu carefully took the thing from Xiao Luzi's hand and smelled it carefully.

"Doctor Hu, how is it?" the emperor asked. "What exactly is this thing?"

Doctor Hu replied, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this substance is not poisonous, but when combined with Concubine Ling's pregnancy-preserving medicine, it has the effect of promoting pregnancy. Moreover, this substance is extremely cold."

The emperor was furious after hearing this. Looking at Xia Yingying kneeling on the ground, his heart was filled with rage. He stood up and kicked her.

"You bitch!" the emperor cried. "How dare you do such a wicked thing? How dare you do such a thing? Concubine Ling is pregnant with the Aisin-Gioro family's child. How could you be so bold?"

Xia Yingying kept shaking her head and looked at the emperor in panic. She climbed forward and grabbed the emperor's clothes.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. This... this is all because of Aunt Zhang who wronged me. I didn't do such a thing. How could I dare to do such a thing? Your Majesty, please believe me."

Xia Yingying said.

"Madam Zhang." The Queen looked at Madam Zhang.

When Aunt Zhang heard the Empress calling her name, she quickly raised her head and looked at the Empress, "Empress, I am just a servant. I am only doing what my family promised me. Why would I harm Empress Ling if I have nothing to do?"

"Then why did your wife order you to do this?" asked the queen.

At this moment, Nanny Zhang only wanted to save her own life.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been complaining every day since she entered the palace that Gyeongbokgung Palace is too remote, so my concubine has been worried..." Nanny Zhang suddenly stopped talking here and didn't dare to continue.

The emperor's face had turned red at this time.

He remembered how good he had been to Xia Yingying in the past, but she actually had evil intentions and even planned to murder the royal heir.

At this moment, the emperor wished he could drag her to Caishikou on the spot.

The Queen stepped forward and gently stroked the Emperor's back, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry over a woman like this."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am truly wronged." Xia Yingying cried bitterly, "I am truly wronged."

"Xia Yingying, if you've wronged me, just go to the Imperial Kitchen and we'll know. Don't forget that everything you do in the palace is recorded. You can't just let it go with a simple accusation." The Queen glanced at Xia Yingying, then turned back to the Emperor and asked softly, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Xia Yingying?"

The emperor looked at Xia Yingying, who was in tears, but when he thought of what she had done, he no longer felt soft-hearted.

"Empress, you will naturally handle the affairs of the harem. How do you think we should deal with it?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Xia Yingying thought that the emperor still had feelings for her. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for all the kindness Yingying has shown you in the past. Your Majesty, Yingying begs you."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Forgive? How could I forgive you? The crime of murdering the heir to the throne alone deserves death by a thousand cuts."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the little prince and princess have only just been born, it's not appropriate for them to wield weapons, let alone see blood. Furthermore, Xia has served you well on a daily basis, and considering her lack of merit, it would be better to move her to the cold palace to recite Buddhist scriptures and pray for the little prince and princess, as well as the emperor and his wife."

The queen spoke word by word.

The Emperor felt that what the Empress said made sense, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "As for Nanny Zhang, she will be taken away to the battle and given twenty lashes of the cane, and then sent to the Xinzheku to do hard labor."

After hearing what the emperor and the queen said, Xia Yingying and Aunt Zhang collapsed to the ground instantly.

Xia Yingying couldn't believe that she had fallen to the point of being sent to the cold palace.

Xia Yingying turned her head to look at Aunt Zhang, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and she wanted to slap her twice, "You traitor! I've always been so sincere to you, but I never thought you'd dare to betray me now."

"Xia Yingying, you'd better shut up." The Queen looked at Xia Yingying in front of her with cold eyes. "The Emperor and I are still here. Don't try to be ungrateful. It's good enough that the Emperor hasn't ordered your death. Just go to the cold palace and reflect on your actions."

After the queen finished speaking.

Xia Yingying instantly shut her mouth and stopped talking.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you back to rest." The Queen took the Emperor's arm. "It's getting late. We have to attend the morning court tomorrow."
