Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Song Zhi stepped forward and said, "Since the Queen has produced evidence, I have no choice but to say a few more words to clear my name."

"Your Majesty keeps saying that the poison was found in my room, but I was thoroughly interrogated when I entered the palace. Not only did I bring the items from the carriage, but I also had to undergo a body search by the maid to confirm that there was nothing unusual before I could enter the Eastern Palace. Furthermore, I have never left the palace during this time. Could it be possible that I could have conjured this thing out of thin air?"

Thanks to the complicated and tedious rules of the palace, she was thoroughly checked as soon as she entered.

In front of outsiders, the queen maintained a kind appearance.

"Zhi'er is right. I've considered this before. However, there are so many maids and guards in the palace. It's not impossible that they bribed the servants to bring something in. After all, this thing was found in your room, so I have to be suspicious."

Song Zhi remained calm and composed. "If that's the case, then we must find that so-called 'bribed servant' and prove this before we can convict you. Otherwise, we'll be helping the person who wants to frame me and letting the real culprit go free."

"This..." The queen looked at the emperor with some embarrassment.

The emperor and the empress had been together for decades, but with just one glance, the emperor instantly realized that the so-called "evidence" was fabricated.

He had a stern face with some displeasure, but he couldn't say anything in front of all the ministers.

The Queen's request for help failed, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and order all the servants who had entered and left the Eastern Palace to be brought here for questioning.

Just as she was panicking, Song Yale broke free from her restraints and ran out. "Mother, why don't you ask Ping'er? Ping'er is the concubine's personal maid, and she must know more details than others."

She tried her best to wink at the queen, fearing that she would not understand.

Although the queen was unwilling to believe Song Yale, the arrow was already on the string, so she simply tried her best to save the situation.

"Let Ping'er come over."

Soon, Ping'er was brought up.

Ping'er knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and said, "It was... it was Miss Song. She gave me money and asked me to poison you."

The Queen was surprised at first and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Then he thought of something and glanced at Anya Song fiercely, but didn't say anything.

Ping'er kowtowed like crazy, "It's true, I dare not lie."

The queen raised the corner of her lips and looked at Song Zhi, "Now that we have the evidence, what else do you have to say?"

Song Zhi glanced at Ping'er, then walked over to the side and picked up the poison from the maid's hand. "Are you sure this is the poison you found in my room?"

The Queen said confidently, "Of course, I personally had someone search it out, how could it be fake?"

"So, even if we have witnesses, we should have the physical evidence confirmed by the imperial physician before we can be convinced. After all, Her Majesty has said that servants can be bribed, so Ping'er's words may not be credible."

Song Zhi returned this sentence and directly requested the emperor to call the imperial physician for confirmation, and pointed out that it would be better to call more than just one.

When there are more people and they supervise each other, it is less likely that people will tell lies.

Finally, the emperor called four or five imperial doctors with a gloomy face.

The imperial doctors first examined the concubine's body, and then carefully identified the packet of poison powder. The final result shocked them.

"This……"

Song Yang asked: "What's the result?"

Although he knew that his daughter would not fight an unprepared battle, he was still nervous about it.

The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment, and with a cold sweat dripping down their face, they spoke their conclusion, "Your Majesty, this poison powder... is not consistent with... the poison the deceased was poisoned with."

"what!"

The Queen's expression changed drastically, and the smile on her face began to falter. She pointed at one of the imperial physicians and said, "Didn't you say before that she was poisoned by this strange Western poison, the Myriad Poison Powder? Why isn't it true now?"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground in fear. "Your Majesty, please calm down. You may not know that this Myriad Poison Powder is so toxic that many people believe that using it will damage their virtue. Therefore, many people secretly reduce the amount of certain herbs when preparing medicines. As a result, even though the poison is the same, the effects are different."

"The poison in this packet should be the most toxic one, judging by its quality, but the one in the victim's body was a less toxic one, so there's a discrepancy."

"If you don't believe it, you can find a condemned prisoner and have him take this poison. You will see the effect."

The queen immediately ordered someone to bring a death row prisoner who was to be executed on a chosen day for killing innocent people, and without any explanation, she made the palace servants force poison into his mouth.

After a moment, the prisoner rolled on the ground in pain.

First, blood began to flow from all his orifices, and then his internal organs began to be corroded. When he finally died, his entire body had lost its human form.

This appearance is indeed different from that of a beautiful concubine.

The Queen staggered back two steps, "How could this happen?"

Song Yale showed a puzzled expression. Didn't she have someone throw all the remaining poison under Song Zhi's bed? It was obviously the same medicine, so why did the effects differ?

She looked at the packet of poison in confusion, only to find that the paper wrapping the poisons was different from the paper she used to wrap her poison.

Not only that, the voodoo doll she had painstakingly prepared did not appear.

A bad premonition struck her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ping'er suddenly kowtow vigorously, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me. This servant was forced to do this."

Ping'er shouted, "It was the Crown Princess. It was the Crown Princess who bribed me to frame Miss Song. If I didn't agree, she would send someone to kill my entire family. I had no choice but to do this."

"You slut, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Song Yale's face changed, and she was about to kick Ping'er angrily, but was stopped by Song Zhi's quick eyes and hands.

"Why, the Crown Princess wants to kill people to silence them after her trick is exposed?"

"I...I'm not!"

Song Yale panicked. She looked around to find someone to speak for her, but found that no one in the audience was on her side.

The emperor looked at her with dissatisfaction, murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Mu Qinghan looked as if he wanted to eat her. "So it was you! You killed my child!"

The queen reacted very quickly and thought of a way out almost instantly. "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

The Emperor snorted coldly, and the Empress continued, "I believed her without any proof and wrongly accused the child. This almost led to a serious mistake. I am willing to accept any punishment."

This is putting all the blame on Song Yale alone.

"I……"

"How dare you speak!"

Just as Anya Song was about to defend herself, she received a threatening look from the Queen.

Song Yale shrank back suddenly, looking at Song Zhi hatefully, "Why! Why are you so lucky every time!"

Song Zhi shrugged and gave an evil smile.

Lucky?

There was no such thing as lucky or unlucky. She exchanged a look of confirmation with Ping'er without anyone noticing.

Yes, but it’s all up to human beings.
