So Wang Defa ordered the nanny to check the concubines and maids present one by one.

Xue Qingyao was quickly found.

The nanny in charge of searching Xue Qingyao's body searched her from head to toe and shook her head, saying, "There's no scent of miscarriage on Miss Xue."

Chu Xinyue's eyes widened in shock when she heard this, and she looked at Xue Youli with a look: "How is this possible? When I pushed her just now, I personally put the sachet of abortion fragrance on her!"

Xue Qingyao wanted to murder Xue Youli, so they personally put the evidence into her arms.

But the strange thing is that the sachet disappeared!

Xue Youli was about to respond with a look when she saw the nanny pointing at Lian Xin who was kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Your Majesty, this servant smells it! The sachet in this maid's hand contains a miscarriage incense!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stretched their necks to look at Lianxin's hand.

I saw that the sachet that Lianxin was holding tightly in her hand was the one that Chu Xinyue had quietly stuffed into Xue Qingyao's waist!

Chu Xinyue watched the nanny snatch the sachet from Lianxin's hand, and her pupils shook: Ali, I clearly put the sachet on Xue Qingyao, how come it is in Lianxin's hands?

Xue Youli could probably guess how the sachet slipped from Xue Qingyao's waist and was picked up by Lian Xin.

She curled her lips, looking helpless: This is probably Xue Qingyao's protagonist halo, I have experienced it a long time ago.

Chu Xinyue: Holy shit! Her aura was bestowed upon her by me! So can the two of us defeat her?

Xue Youli: What are you afraid of? Just do it!

Chu Xinyue: Yes, no matter if it’s the master or the servant, I’ll kill one if I can!

The swords in their hands are already drawn, and there must be blood.

At this time, the sachet that Lianxin was holding tightly in her hand was presented to Murong Che by the nanny.

Murong Che glanced at Doctor Cheng and said, "Test it!"

Doctor Cheng took the sachet, sniffed it, and then opened it, examining the herbs inside one by one. "Your Majesty, the sachet is indeed filled with abortion incense! This incense is the culprit that caused Concubine Xue's miscarriage!"

Imperial Physician Cheng made his conclusion, and the other concubines immediately pointed at Lianxin and started talking.

"This maid is so bold that she dares to murder the royal heir!"

"Alas! If Concubine Xue hadn't had an accident tonight, there would have been another child in the palace next year! This lowly maid has committed a heinous crime that is unforgivable!"

"How could a mere maidservant like her have such power? In my opinion, she should be thrown into the prison and interrogated strictly. We will definitely be able to find out who is behind this!"

I don’t know who proposed to send Lianxin to the Criminal Court, but the other concubines agreed with this.

Lianxin is Xue Qingyao's personal maid. She dared to harm the child in Concubine Xue's belly. She must have been instructed by someone.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xuan'er also spoke sternly, "That's right, this concerns the heir to the throne, and he must be severely punished!"

Seeing that everyone was pointing fingers at her, Xue Qingyao quickly knelt before Murong Che and said, "Your Majesty, I had no idea that Concubine Xue was pregnant! Besides, as everyone has said, Lianxin is my personal maid. Even if I wanted to harm Concubine Xue, I wouldn't be so foolish as to let her do it! Please, Your Majesty, please understand!"

In fact, when she fell just now, she felt something slipping from her waist.

After seeing the sachet in Lianxin's hand, she recognized on the spot that this sachet was the one she had asked someone to prepare for Duan Cainv.

The Imperial Household Department would produce many mosquito repellent sachets every summer, and Lianxin had someone deliver the sachets to Duan Cainv in the name of repelling mosquitoes, and also asked her to wear them with her.

Xue Qingyao didn't know when Duan Cainv discovered the secret of the sachet. Originally, the scapegoat she had chosen for herself in tonight's game was Duan Cainv.

She couldn't figure out when someone had put the sachet on her body.

Fortunately, God made the sachet fall from her waist to the ground.

Otherwise, according to the current situation, even if she had mouths all over her body, she would not be able to wash away the crime of murdering the royal bloodline!

Rong Qingyue glanced at Xue Qingyao, then turned her gaze to Lianxin, "Lianxin, who exactly ordered you to do what happened today? If you tell me, the emperor will give you a quick death in recognition of your ability to identify the mastermind behind this!"

Lianxin knew very well that there were only two consequences if the sachet was exposed.

Otherwise, if she told the truth, she would die here with Xue Qingyao.

Or, she will take on everything and die alone.

In fact, when she left the Qinghe Garden Palace, Murong Ye had secretly summoned her.

After Concubine Ning got into trouble, Murong Ye repeatedly told Lianxin to protect Xue Qingyao no matter what happened.

So, for that man's great cause, she knew what she should do.

Lian Xin looked up at Rong Qingyue, as if she had made up her mind, and said loudly, "Yes! Someone is indeed instructing this servant!"

Seeing Lianxin only speaking half-heartedly, a few concubines who were watching the fun couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? Tell me!"

Lian Xin took a deep breath, raised her hand and pointed at Duan Cainv who was standing behind Chu Xinyue, and said loudly, "It's Duan Cainv! A few days ago, she met me and gave me not only a sachet, but also banknotes and a pair of gold hairpins, and told me to knock Concubine Xue down tonight at all costs!"

Duan Cainu didn't expect Lianxin to bite her like a mad dog. She was anxious and angry, "You are talking nonsense! I never gave you the hairpin!"

A few days ago, a little palace maid she didn't recognize handed her a sachet, saying it was a mosquito repellent sachet issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked her to send a few extra sachets to Xue Youli.

Duan Cainv found it strange. Usually, the distribution of things in the Imperial Household Department was handled by the eunuch in charge, who would personally deliver them to each concubine according to their rank. How could he ask someone else to pass the sachet on?

She was cautious at that time, and when she gave the sachet to Xue Youli, she expressed her doubts.

Xue Youli asked her to pretend she didn't know about it.

At the dinner party today, Duan Cainv took the initiative to approach Xue Youli in front of so many people and poured sour plum soup for Xue Youli, hoping to use this opportunity to lure out the people who wanted to harm her.

Finally, the person was found, but this hateful maid wanted to drag her into trouble.

Lian Xin glanced at Duan Cainu and took out a stack of banknotes and a pair of gold hairpins from her bosom. "Your Majesty, these are what Duan Cainu gave to me. Please understand!"

When Duan Cainü saw the golden hairpin in Lianxin's hand, her face turned pale.

Because the gold hairpin that Lianxin took out was indeed hers.

It was given to her by her mother before she entered the palace.

She clearly put the gold hairpin in her dressing box, so why did it fall into Lianxin's hands?

Duan Cainu was completely baffled and almost cried out in frustration, "I didn't do that! You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty, I have never harmed Concubine Xue!"

Lian Xin clearly had no intention of letting her go, and she said word by word, "Your Majesty, Shanhu, the maidservant beside Duan Cainu, can testify on my behalf!"

When he was in the palace, Murong Ye had experienced Xue Youli's power.

Therefore, he knew very well how difficult every step Xue Qingyao took in the harem was.

In order to protect Xue Qingyao's safety, he told Lianxin to think of a way out before every plan.

Therefore, Lianxin had already bribed the palace maids around Duan Cainu in order to completely remove Xue Qingyao from this matter.

Shanhu was called out and quickly knelt down to reply, "Yes! All of this was instigated by Duan Cainu! She was jealous of Concubine Xue's favor, and she knew that Concubine Xue and Concubine Xue were not on good terms. That's why she came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone and eliminate them both!"

Duan Cainv was stunned. She didn't expect Shanhu to betray her. "Shanhu, how could you lie?"

Shanhu's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head. "Everything I say is true, Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Duan Cainv, I have no grudge against you, I never thought you could be so vicious!"

Xue Qingyao glared at Duan Cainv in disbelief, then looked at Lianxin with deep sorrow, "Lianxin, I've treated you well, how could you do such a vicious thing behind my back?"
