The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

Concubine Yue looked shocked.

As if realizing it belatedly, he suddenly realized and said, "Could it be that Concubine Zhao has recently promoted people in the Imperial Household Department and the Palace Administration Department in order to make things easier? Weren't the Six Virtues of the Imperial Household Department promoted by Concubine Zhao? But Sister Zhao is usually so kind..."

“You know people, you know faces, but you don’t know hearts!”

On the other side, the Queen Mother sighed deeply, looking quite sad and angry.

He looked at Fei Wan and shook his head.

He seemed very disappointed with Fei Wan.

Wu Xiangrong tried to argue: "How can we conclude that it was Concubine Zhao who did it based solely on this one-sided statement of the palace maid? She was caught burying the safflower, and to escape punishment, she made random accusations. There is no witness or physical evidence for what she said. Whoever she accused is the real person, and..."

"Sister Wu, don't forget, that candied fruit was indeed made by Concubine Zhao herself and given to Ying Ronghua."

A man walked in from outside the hall and interrupted Wu Xiangrong.

Wu Xiangrong turned around and saw, his face suddenly turned pale, "You..."

Yu Sujin nodded gently at her: "Sister Wu, don't be angry. I'm just talking about the matter."

Although she had been promoted three levels, she was still only a fifth-rank noble lady, so she had been staying outside the hall just now. Only when things had reached this point did she come in.

Although she was here, as Fei Wan's biological sister, she did not speak on Fei Wan's side.

It surprised everyone.

Bowing to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, she said softly, "I have a few words to say. Your Majesty, please allow me."

The emperor said calmly: "What do you want to say?"

There was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Yu Sujin said, "Regarding tonight's events, no matter how we speculate, there are only three confirmed facts: First, Ying Ronghua had a miscarriage. Second, the miscarriage was caused by the hawthorn pills given by Concubine Zhao. Third, Concubine Zhao's maid buried the safflower."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Yu Sujin continued, "As for the safflower in the hawthorn pills, whether it was Concubine Zhao who put it there, whether she deliberately murdered Ying Ronghua, and what her motive was, as well as whether what the palace maid Lin Shui said was true. If it was false, then who was behind Lin Shui's actions? These are difficult to determine at the moment, so a thorough investigation is needed."

That makes sense.

Concubine Yue raised her head and said, "So, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Yu Sujin looked at Fei Wan and said, "Sister, I'm sorry," then turned around and knelt in front of the emperor.

"To identify the true culprit and give an explanation to the unborn little prince, I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. Everyone in Chunxi Palace, including Concubine Zhao, should be brought before the Palace Court for trial. Everyone in Changle Palace, where Ying Ronghua resides, should also be sent there. The book says that in troubled times, severe punishments are called for. Indeed, when there is chaos in the palace, severe punishments should also be used. Let peace and tranquility return to the harem as soon as possible!"

Everyone was surprised.

Including the emperor.

Concubine Yue was the first to speak: "Concubine Yu, are you going to send me to the Palace Administration Office for torture?"

The Queen Mother sat aside and finally spoke again.

"What this girl said does make some sense. Are you Concubine Zhao's sister?"

Yu Sujin replied, "Your Majesty, it is me."

"But you want to send her to the Palace Administration Office?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that rules and the truth are more important. Furthermore, I trust my eldest sister's character. When the truth comes out one day, she will definitely be innocent. So, she is only going to the Palace Administration Office to cooperate with the investigation. I don't think this will affect our sisterhood."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Fei Wan.

"Eldest sister, you said, right?"

Fei Wan was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded reluctantly in front of everyone.

Yu Sujin then asked Concubine Yue, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"I don't need the Palace Justice Department to prove my innocence." Concubine Yue sneered, "Why? Did I take care of Ying Ronghua and end up in trouble? I didn't give the hawthorn pills to her, so why should anyone from Changle Palace be put on trial as well?"

Yu Sujin said, "After Shanzhawan left Chunxi Palace, he entered Changle Palace. Although Yingronghua's gates are well guarded, who can guarantee that nothing will go wrong and that no scoundrels have sneaked in? If Her Majesty refuses to be investigated, this matter will be difficult to fully resolve."

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, what do you think? How about I send a few experienced palace maids to the Palace Administration Department to help conduct a thorough investigation?"

The emperor tapped the table lightly with his knuckles.

There were a few muffled knocks.

Apparently thinking.

In fact, it was only a moment, but everyone felt that the waiting time was long.

Especially Concubine Yue, who couldn't help wanting to speak several times, but when she saw the emperor's cold face, she forced herself to hold back.

Finally the emperor spoke.

"Just as Concubine Yu said, all the people in Chunxi Palace and Changle Palace will be put under the palace administration."

Raise your arms slightly.

He said to Yu Sujin slowly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yu Sujin stood up slowly and gently stood beside the emperor.

"Your Majesty! I have nothing to do with this matter, you..." Concubine Yue wanted to plead.

But the emperor didn't look at her.

"Noble Concubine Qing, Noble Concubine Li, you will assist in investigating this matter. I have five days to complete this matter. I want the results."

Concubine Qing and Concubine Hui stood up and responded in unison.

Li was the title of Concubine Hui before. After she was promoted to the title of "Hui" among the four concubines, she was no longer used. Today, she was promoted to Noble Concubine and was brought out again.

She said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have no achievements and do not want to be promoted to Noble Consort. Please revoke the promotion and I will remain as Consort Hui."

She didn't want to accept the invitation at the palace banquet. It was just a festival and she didn't want to spoil the emperor's mood, so she planned to decline it another day.

But such a big bad thing happened tonight, it would be okay for her to refuse the promotion, so she just said it out.

As expected, the emperor didn't care whether she was given the title or not, and nodded in approval.

"It's getting late, let's go."

The emperor stood up.

Cao Bin reminded him in time: "Your Majesty, where is Lady Ying staying tonight?"

Since the people in Changle Palace were going to be tried, it was not appropriate for Zhishu to return to Changle Palace. As for her original place, Shunfei's side palace was too small. After being promoted to Ronghua, she should have moved to another palace.

Concubine Shun was just about to say that she lived with me before she moved to the palace, and I took good care of her.

The Queen Mother spoke up, "Ying Ronghua needs careful care after her miscarriage. Please go to my Ciyun Palace."

The emperor looked at the empress dowager.

Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother also smiled.

"Your Majesty is polite."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

Seems very harmonious.

Fei Wan lowered her eyes.

It was as if he could already smell the blood of killing.

Of course, before that, she had to go to Gongzhengsi to smell the blood.

The concubines who left were still confused and most of them had no idea what the series of events that had happened tonight, enough for them to talk about for half a year, meant...

Yu Sujin accompanied the emperor as he left, walking gracefully.

Wu Xiangrong kept glaring at her from behind, wishing he could stare her to death.

What a heartless thing!

"Sister Ying, why don't you go and plead for Sister Zhao, instead of just watching her go to the palace?"

After everyone left, Wu Xiangrong rushed into the inner room with partitions where Zhishu was resting.
