"Alright, Ning Liangyuan! Pay attention to your status and know when to speak and when not to speak."

Ning Liangyuan was scolded and blinked, her eyes instantly turned red, but she didn't get a look from Ning Chen in return. She could only shut up in grievance, but she did not forget to provoke Concubine Wan with her eyes, as if she was certain that it was Wan Rou who poisoned her.

Ning Chen, "An Er, tell me where the package we are investigating was found."

Tang Yu lowered his head and kept observing Ning Liangyuan out of the corner of his eye.

Ning Liangyuan was seen staring at An Er with joy, hoping to hear the answer she wanted from the masked face.

She curled the corners of her mouth calmly, thinking that Ning Liangyuan was unaware of the impending disaster.

"In reply to your Highness, the package was found under the big tree in Ruyan Palace, and nothing unusual was found in the other palaces."

The secret guard's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking the tense atmosphere in the hall.

Ning Liangyuan, in particular, had a stiff smile and eyes full of disbelief, and it was a long time before she came back to her senses.

He stood up excitedly and pointed at the secret guard, shouting, "Nonsense, how could there be poison in this palace?"

Although she said so, the guilt in Ning Liangyuan's eyes did not seem fake, which did make people suspicious.

As expected, Ning Chen looked at Ning Liangyuan for a long while. She was so overly excited, as if her tail was stepped on, and her guilt was written all over her face.

Ning Liangyuan saw that the situation was not right and her eyes rolled around subconsciously in nervousness.

Only Tang Yu knew that Ning Liangyuan felt guilty because she had poisoned her before, and she was afraid of being exposed in front of Ning Chen and causing Ning Chen's disgust.

But this matter couldn't be explained at all. Why did Tang Wanrou get poisoned? It just happened that there was poison in her palace.

Ning Liangyuan had obviously thought of this, but still couldn't explain it in the end. She looked at Ning Chen with tears in her eyes, covering her already visibly pregnant belly, trying to get Ning Chen's forgiveness.

"Your Highness, it really wasn't me. As for the poison, I don't know who put it there. Maybe the poison was meant to harm me, and they just happened to be discovered. Your Highness, I really don't know."

Concubine Wan was still unhappy after being accused just now, so she would never miss the opportunity to suppress him.

"You just say it's not you without any evidence. Then tell me why there is poison in your palace but not in ours. It can't be that you have a unique hobby during your pregnancy and suddenly like poison? This is too unreasonable. And how can it be such a coincidence that there is poison in your palace and the Crown Princess happened to be poisoned."

"Even a storybook can't write such a coincidence. Ning Liangyuan is really good at quibbling, which is beyond the reach of others. But whether it is you or not, let the imperial physician see whether this poison is really the poison that the Crown Princess was poisoned with. If it is, Ning Liangyuan is stubborn."

Ning Liangyuan turned her head suddenly and looked at Concubine Wan as if she were an enemy.

"I wasn't the one who framed the Crown Princess. Wan Rou, what deep hatred do I have with you? You have been blaming me, last time and again this time. I just had two arguments with you before, why did you want to kill me and my whole family?!"

Tang Yu sat on a chair nearby, watching Ning Liangyuan, this useful mad dog, biting the person she had deliberately framed.

I almost laughed out loud.

The joke reached its climax especially when Concubine Wan looked confused.

And Zhou Liangdi's relieved expression.

She saw it all.

Wan Rou, "I think you are crazy. What nonsense have you been talking about? When did this concubine frame you? I think you are so popular that anyone would want to frame you. Do you deserve it?"

Ning Liangyuan, "You..."

Ning Chen, "Okay, the imperial physician will go and see if the medicine is the poison that the Crown Princess was poisoned by. Liu Dequan will go and bring all the servants of Ruyan Palace to interrogate them."
