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

Yes, Ping'er was the spy she planted in the Eastern Palace.

It was Ping'er who had been passing on messages to her for so long.

However, the poison inflicted on the concubine was not administered by Ping'er, but by a guard who was skilled in martial arts and whom Song Yale hired.

Ping'er was simply brought to Song Yale after the guard succeeded, and after being coerced and bribed by Song Yale, she chose to frame Song Zhi.

Maybe Song Yale never thought that Ping'er would be Song Zhi's person.

Because of this, Song Zhi received the news when the Queen asked someone to prepare poison as evidence.

She did not alert the enemy, but asked Ping'er to subtly induce the servant to prepare poisons of different toxicities.

As a result of a series of events, the current situation has been resolved.

The queen winked at the nanny beside her, who turned and went into the house. She quickly found a package containing poison and a voodoo doll.

After comparison by the imperial physician, the poison was confirmed to be the same as that which the concubine had been poisoned by.

The voodoo doll was also displayed in front of everyone. Mu Qinghan was shaking with anger when he saw it. "Bitch, you actually want to curse me to death!"

This is the most taboo thing in the palace, so the emperor's face can be said to be extremely dark.

He said solemnly, “Ara Song, do you know your crime?”

Anya Song's face was dejected. She knew that she had lost completely again today.

She really didn't understand why it was always like this.

Why did fate treat her like this!

It was as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she knelt down on the ground resigned to her fate.

But then she raised her head again, no, that's not right, she still has someone to rely on!

Song Yale knelt anxiously and moved to the emperor's feet, tears streaming down her face. "Father, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so obsessed as to frame Song Zhi. For the sake of the child in my belly, I beg you to forgive me this time. From now on, I will reform myself and work hard to continue the royal family."

When this was mentioned, everyone remembered that Song Yale was also pregnant.

The Queen pretended to be heartbroken and said, "You are also going to be a mother soon, how could you have the heart to attack a woman who is also pregnant?"

Song Yale looked at the queen who had never given her a good face from the beginning, and even sent these two beautiful concubines to the East Palace to humiliate her on the day she returned home.

If there hadn't been these two beautiful concubines in the beginning, there wouldn't be so many problems now.

Now, the queen can speak in a high-sounding manner as a good person, and Song Yale's resentment towards the queen reached its peak at this moment.

She kowtowed heavily to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I understand that although I have done something wrong, the poison in Song Zhi's room..."

"Snapped!"

Before Anya Song could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Queen’s panicked slap.

"Since you know your mistake, you should reflect on it and wait for your punishment. You even dared to speak nonsense in front of the Emperor. Although you are pregnant, as the Empress and the Crown Prince's mother, I have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

She was hinting to Anya Song to think it through.

The reason why the child in her belly is noble and why she can use the child as a bargaining chip is because the father of the child in her belly is the prince and the grandmother is the queen.

If you lose the blessing of these identities, no one will care even if you give birth to ten or eight children, let alone just getting pregnant.

Song Yale was smart enough to understand the hint for once. She opened her mouth wide with the slap mark on her face, her body still maintaining an appearance of wanting to complain, but the words on the tip of her tongue could not come out.

The emperor's brows furrowed even deeper, staring at Anya Song as if he were looking at a dead person.

Song Yale weighed it over and over again, and under everyone's gaze, she took all the blame on herself.

"Father, it's all my son's fault."

The queen visibly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

The Emperor then displayed his supreme authority and said in a cold voice, "Crown Princess Song Yale has evil intentions and has harmed others and the royal heirs. She also attempted to frame them. She deserves death, but considering that she is pregnant, I will demote her to the rank of concubine and confine her to the Eastern Palace. She is not allowed to take a single step out of the palace. I will punish her after she gives birth."

"As for the Queen, you trusted others too easily and nearly wronged an innocent person. You are hardly a role model for the head of the harem. I will hand over the Phoenix Seal to the Imperial Concubine, who will act as the power over the six palaces."

The Queen staggered and said shrilly, "Your Majesty..."

"All right."

The emperor made the final decision without even bothering to look at the queen. He said in a very low voice, "You should also reflect on the stupid things you have done."

It would have been fine if they had done this beautifully, as he had taken the opportunity to control the Song family. However, they had so many loopholes that Song Zhi got away with it. It was extremely embarrassing.

After saying this, the emperor had to comfort Song Zhi and reward her with a lot of jewels before the matter was over.

Song Zhi glanced at Song Yale, who had collapsed on the ground as if her soul had been sucked out, and took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, then this servant still needs to stay here to accompany the Crown Princess... Oh no, this humble concubine?"

The emperor said "No need" and left the East Palace with a group of ministers.

It can be seen that the emperor is in a bad mood.

After the emperor walked away, the queen looked at Song Zhi fiercely and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "No, no, I dare not. The Queen wanted to kill me, and I only made the Queen temporarily lose the power of the six palaces. What is there to be satisfied with?"

If she hadn't understood that it would take time to bring her down, and if Anya Song hadn't taken the blame on her own initiative, it would have been useless even if she had exposed the matter.

But it doesn’t matter, losing the power of the six palaces is only the first step.

"Song Zhi, you are nothing but an ant in my eyes. You won't be so proud forever."

After saying this harsh word, the queen left a few maids here to guard Song Yale and turned to leave.

Mu Qinghan wanted to say something, but was frightened by the Queen's look and hurriedly followed her.

Only a group of servants and Song Yale were left there.

Song Zhi walked up to Song Yale and squatted down, saying pitifully, “So, is this the result you want?”

Song Yale's eyes were dull, and she smiled foolishly, "Song Zhi, why don't you just die? Why don't you just die? Everything will be fine if you die."

Seeing her like this, Song Zhi whispered in her ear in a sinister tone, "Remember, if you hadn't been plotting to harm others and yourself, you would still be the eldest daughter of the Song family. Your mother is also looking for the best man to marry you. After you get married, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will be able to take care of your husband and children. You will live a happy and smooth life."

Killing people and destroying their hearts, Song Zhitai knew what Song Yale feared most now.

The most frightening thing is not not being able to own something, but having something you could have but losing it yourself.

The ordinary life that was within her reach and that she once despised has now become the most unattainable thing for her.

When Song Zhi left, she heard a heart-wrenching scream from behind.

The voice was desperate, shrill and long.

She paused for a moment, a smile on her face, but she didn't look back.

Ping'er followed her out while no one was paying attention. When they reached the deserted rockery, Song Zhi handed her a bag of silver and said, "The Emperor and Empress will investigate further. They won't let you go. Leave now. From now on, you'll be free."

Ping'er shed tears, "Miss, I am willing to follow you."
