Concubine Wan said, "Your name is Xiaochun, right? Ning Liangyuan's personal maid. Tell the truth."

Xiaochun glanced at Ning Liangyuan with a trembling voice, and quickly looked away.

Ning Liangyuan gnashed her teeth and said, "You damn girl, hurry up and tell me, I didn't put anything in the jade pendant!"

Tang Wanrou, "Why is Ning Liangyuan forcing a little girl like this? Besides, this is your dowry maid. Whether what she said is true or not is still debatable."

Xiaochun's voice was as soft as a mosquito. "To answer your Highness, to answer the Crown Princess, I saw Liang Yuan put something into the jade pendant that day. It seemed to be this snake firefly grass. When I went in, Liang Yuan told me to get out. But I don't know whose jade pendant Liang Yuan put in. I really don't know."

Ning Liangyuan glared at Xiaochun and was about to slap him.

"You slut, what are you talking about? I clearly put Tang Yu's jade pendant in there, and I put medicine powder in there. It's not snakes or grass. I've never heard of them! What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you belong to? How dare you betray me? I'll beat you to death!"

Ning Liangyuan shouted so loudly that she didn't even realize she had let the cat out of the bag, and was about to stand up and scratch the maid named Xiaochun.

Xiaochun was kicked twice and shuddered all over.

"Liang Yuan, you see, you admitted it yourself, didn't you? But I clearly remember that you wanted to put some firefly grass in there, and you asked me to get some firefly grass when you went out to buy jewelry! Everything I said is true and I dare not lie."

Ning Chen looked at Ning Liangyuan jumping up and down with disgust, feeling annoyed.

He should have known last time that this woman was not honest. Now she dared to attack again in such a short time.

Although he knew something was fishy, ​​he didn't want to keep Ning Liangyuan around to continue harming people.

Ning Liangyuan finally realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Ning Chen, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's really not me. I have no intention of harming the Crown Princess. Don't listen to the nonsense of this maid. She might have been bribed by someone to frame me. I just wanted to put some insects in Tang Yu's jade pendant to scare her, so that I can gain your favor. I don't want to kill anyone, Your Highness!!"

Ning Liangyuan knelt on the ground and cried every word.

Then he turned around in panic and grabbed Xiaochun's hair and tore it.

"Hurry up, tell His Highness the truth. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I was just jealous of Tang Yu because of what happened last time, so I wanted to scare her. I really didn't! Speak, bitch, speak, otherwise I will not let your family go."

Xiaochun's torn hair was disheveled, and her lowered eyes were extremely determined.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault. It wasn't Liangyuan who put the snake firefly grass there. It's all my fault. Please let Liangyuan go." Then she said to Ning Liangyuan.

"Liang Yuan, please let my family go. Please, my family is innocent! I will die to atone for my crime!!"

The next moment, Xiaochun broke free from Ning Liangyuan's grip, and before everyone could react, he hit his head on the stairs, blood splattered all over the stairs, but his eyes were not looking in the direction of Ning Liangyuan.

Ning Liangyuan screamed.

"Your Highness, Xiaochun has confessed. It was her, not me. I really didn't mean to harm anyone. Someone must have bribed Xiaochun to deliberately frame me. It must be."

Concubine Wan couldn't stand it, "It was you who used Xiaochun's family to frame Xiaochun, and Xiaochun had no choice but to take the blame. You are so shameless."

Tang Wanrou, "Ning Liangyuan, you are so stubborn."

Ning Chen, "Come here, Ning Liangyuan has murdered the heir to the throne. This crime is unforgivable. She must be imprisoned in Youquan Palace and not allowed to leave forever."

Youquan Palace, the cold palace of the Crown Prince's Mansion, is deserted, remote and desolate, and the people imprisoned there are living a life worse than death.

Ning Liangyuan knelt on the ground, trying to grab the corner of Ning Chen's clothes.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's really not me. Please understand. I will not harm your child. Please."

Ning Liangyuan was quickly pulled away.

"You guys go back to the palace." Ning Chen said and walked into Yunqing Palace.
