Ming Guipin rarely speaks in front of others.

Being stared at by everyone at this moment, his face couldn't help but turn red.

He took a deep breath, obviously trying to gather his courage.

Although I was very nervous, I still said it.

"I have heard rumors in the palace that it was Concubine Zhao who ordered the murder of Yu Shuren. They also say that Concubine Zhao was jealous of Yu Shuren's mother, Madam Yu's love, and that's why she killed him. I find it hilarious."

Empress Yan asked, "How is it so funny? Tell me."

Ming Guipin twisted her handkerchief between her fingers and said nervously, "When Yu Shuren was in the Yu Mansion, she was loved. Zhao Guifei was also there at the time and had seen how favored she was. If she was still jealous, she would have planned to take action when she became the legitimate daughter of the Yu Mansion and Yu Shuren was expelled from the family. This is human nature.

However, the fact that Yu Shu Ren had survived so long in Yanyun Palace, unharmed, suggests that Imperial Concubine Zhao had no intention of harming her. Even if she did, Madam Yu had only just visited the palace the day before yesterday, and Imperial Concubine Yu was murdered a short while later. Isn't that too obvious, and likely to draw suspicion? Could Imperial Concubine Zhao be so foolish as to choose this moment to strike?

Therefore, I think this rumor is too outrageous!"

After she finished her long conversation, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

You can see how reserved they are.

Empress Yan listened and nodded slightly, looking around at the concubines present: "What Noble Concubine Ming said makes some sense, what do you think?"

Someone then responded, "That's right, I and the others also think it's outrageous."

"I haven't heard of this rumor yet. I wonder which idler started it!"

"It may not be an idle person, but it may be someone with ulterior motives."

"Yeah, otherwise why would rumors spread so quickly right after something happened?"

This group of people are close to Fei Wan.

There were also one or two who remained neutral, saying that there was no smoke without fire and that what Ming Guipin said was just personal speculation.

There are others who are waiting and watching.

Although Fei Wan now has a high status and good popularity in the palace, she has not yet unified the entire harem, so it is normal for different voices to appear.

Empress Yan then asked Concubine Ming very impartially, "Why are you speaking up for Concubine Zhao?"

Ming Guipin said, "Because I am under the care of Her Majesty Zhao Guipin, I am very grateful. I would feel bad if I were to stand by and watch coldly when something happened, even though I have received such a favor. I will try to say a few words if I can."

Queen Yan nodded. "You are a loyal and honest person. You are indeed blessed to bear His Majesty the eldest princess. But in the end, this is all your speculation."

"But those rumors are also groundless speculation about Concubine Zhao!" Ming Guipin was dissatisfied. "Since they are all speculation, one side is black and the other is white, then we should verify it. When the facts are unclear, if someone accuses Concubine Zhao, I will object!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine De praised her: "Noble Concubine Ming is usually afraid to speak in public, but now she is willing to stand up for Sister Zhao. Her kindness and courage are better than many people!"

Ming Guipin's face turned even redder.

But his eyes were brighter than usual because of the argument.

Originally, her appearance was just above average, but now she was lively and vivid, with a beauty that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

Concubine Chao De bowed slightly, and Concubine Ming said cautiously, "I dare not accept the praise from Your Majesty. Just now, Concubine Zhao was visiting the eldest princess at my place. When she heard about this, she was very surprised. I saw it clearly and could not lie. Therefore, I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Zhao. I also ask Your Majesty and all the sisters to think carefully and not fall into the trap of the treacherous people."

"Thank you very much."

Fei Wan stood up and bowed slightly to Ming Guipin.

It shouldn't be like this between a higher-up and a lower-up. Ming Guipin quickly moved aside, but she truly felt Fei Wan's gratitude towards her.

Chao Feiwan smiled shyly, "I just did what I was supposed to do. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Ming Guipin, you are such a kind person. There are many people in this palace who have received favors from Concubine Zhao, but not many are willing to speak up for her at critical moments."

Suddenly, He Shuangying said something in a sarcastic tone.

Not only did he make enemies for Ming Guipin, he also brought hatred to Feiwan.

Shun Fei chuckled: "He Shi, your words are relegating those of us who usually hang out with Concubine Zhao to the ground. Young man, you'd better be more cautious."

Concubine De glared at He Shuangying: "If you can't speak, shut up!"

He Shuangying's eyes turned red.

He pursed his lips and endured the grievance.

Let’s get straight to today’s topic.

"Ladies, please don't rush to talk about me. I have no rank anymore, so I can't get in your way. But today, I happened to see Yu Shuren being harmed, and I was terribly frightened. You didn't see Yu Shuren's appearance at the time. He looked like a half-dead ghost! Even Concubine Ming said that there might be a traitor plotting to frame Concubine Zhao. Your Majesty, Ladies, this matter should be thoroughly investigated, right? It's a matter of life and death!"

He Shuangying went to Yanyun Palace today to try her luck and catch something wrong with Queen Yan, but unexpectedly she witnessed Yu Shuren almost being killed. She was so happy.

But as soon as she finished speaking.

Zhishu, who had been silent for a long time, snorted coldly from the other side.

"The eldest princess was poisoned by the purple rose flower, and it's a matter of life and death, but the truth remains unknown."

He Shuangying's eyes became even redder due to the choking.

She choked up and looked at Zhishu: "Empress Ying, are you targeting me? Or are you targeting Concubine Zhao?"

Zhishu was disdainful and didn't even look at her.

"Every day, this is targeted at her, that is targeted at her. I think she should change her last name from 'Zhen' to 'Weiqu'."

Many people in the hall couldn't help laughing.

Even the palace maids on duty laughed out loud, and then quickly stood up straight.

He Shuangying was about to cry, and her tearful eyes looked straight at Zhishu.

But before she could say anything, a palace maid from Fengming Palace rushed in with a look of shock on her face.

"What's wrong?" Queen Yan was displeased.

The palace maid quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the doctor saved Yu Shuren. Seeing that she was stable, the maid from Yanyun Palace brought people to clean and change her clothes, ready for Your Majesty to summon her at any time. The result... the result..."

"What's the result?"

"Your Majesty... After Yu Shuren's head and face were cleaned, everyone saw that she, she was not Yu Shuren!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was surprised.

Concubine Shun frowned and asked, "If she is not Yu Shuren, then who is she?"

The palace maid said, "The maid at Yanyun Palace is not sure either. She only vaguely remembers..."

She looked at Fei Wan.

Fei Wan said calmly, "Look at what I am doing. If you have anything to say, tell me the truth."

"...The nanny said that the girl who was mistaken for a commoner of Yu and nearly suffocated to death seemed to be a maidservant who entered the palace with Madam Yu the day before. But the nanny only met that maidservant once, so she can't remember clearly..."

There was silence in the hall at first.

Immediately afterwards, surprised discussions began to arise.

Everyone was surprised.

Especially He Shuangying.

She stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Wasn't it that Queen Yan was secretly torturing Yu Shuren and was very likely to kill him and frame Concubine Zhao? As long as she added fuel to the fire, she could stir up conflicts among the concubines and seize the opportunity to take the throne.

But how did things get complicated?

Is there something wrong with Yu Shuren himself? !

Fei Wan was as surprised as everyone else, and she just wanted to laugh in her heart.

Second Young Master Yu is so confident.

Both the Yu Mansion and the Yanyun Palace were closely watched by her people, and he even wanted to kill them to silence them once and for all.

He deliberately let his plan succeed halfway, and the other half was stopped by He Shuangying who also wanted to make trouble.

I'm sorry, Second Master Yu, this is not my good plan to ruin you.

If you want to settle the score, go find He.

On the phoenix chair.

Queen Yan's expression had turned cold.

"Someone, come and investigate for me. Where did Yu Shuren go? And where did that girl who was mistaken for Yu Shuren come from?"
