I am favored by the tyrant, so what if I am vicious?

She screamed in a shrill voice, "You eunuch, how dare you hit me? I've been so kind to you, that's why I allowed you to do such a treacherous thing."

She raised her arm to fight back.

Fuquan is a man after all, so he is naturally stronger than Ziyan.

He grabbed Zi Yan's arm and slapped her hard again.

"Am I the one who betrays my family, or is it you?"

"Thank goodness Concubine Jiang was so kind to you before, but you viciously killed her... You are an ungrateful person."

As soon as Fuquan said this, the hall was filled with uproar.

No one expected that Concubine Jiang's death would lead to such a subversive reversal.

It was Zi Yan who killed Concubine Jiang?

How is this possible! Many concubines were unwilling to believe it.

Even Zhou Shiya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, her eyes full of surprise.

She originally thought that Concubine Jiang really committed suicide, and Concubine Shu and others took advantage of Concubine Jiang's death to forge some false evidence pointing to Zhou Lingge.

Unexpectedly, the hidden story is so shocking!

After Fuquan finished beating Zi Yan, he knelt on the ground, looking at Qin Feiling with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty... I am guilty... I was alone and weak, and I knew that Zi Yan was cruel and ruthless, but I couldn't stop her from attacking Concubine Jiang."

"In order to avenge Concubine Jia, to choose a wise ruler, and to secure a bright future, Zi Yan dismissed all the servants from Qiluo Palace. Taking advantage of Concubine Jiang's unpreparedness, she first tied her up and gagged her. Then, she used a dagger to cut Concubine Jiang's wrist..."

"By the time I discovered her, Concubine Jiang had already died. Zi Yan watched with her own eyes as all the blood drained from her body. Only after she was sure she was dead did she loosen the ropes, creating the illusion. I witnessed it all... and rushed in to question her. Zi Yan was so mad with bloodshed that she wanted to kill me too."

"She first knelt on the ground, begging me to forgive her mistake. She deliberately let me down, took advantage of my unpreparedness, rushed over, and fiercely strangled me. I couldn't resist... and she strangled me until I passed out. She thought I was dead, so she arranged for the palace servants she bribed to secretly transport my body out of the palace."

"Luckily, I met Concubine Jia's maid Qiao'er on the way. She discovered something strange and had the servant apprehended. She also called in the imperial physician to save me. This time, I am grateful to Concubine Jia for helping me and saving my life. Otherwise, I would have died with regrets like Concubine Jiang."

By the end of his speech, Fuquan had already burst into tears.

The look he gave Zi Yan was filled with hatred!

The concubines in the palace were filled with fear and found it unbelievable!

A little palace maid actually killed the main concubine of a palace by herself?

This... who would believe this if I told others?

There must be another culprit behind this.

For a while, people were in panic and the concubines all looked unhappy.

Zi Yan rushed towards Fu Quan like a madman: "You lied, you slandered me."

"I didn't kill Concubine Jiang. Qiao'er killed her... I have nothing to do with this."

Qin Feiling's cold expression made him control Zi Yan.

Zhou Lingge sighed, his face full of fear and panic.

"A maidservant, without anyone noticing, killed the head of a palace, and then put all the blame on me. Your Majesty, I am truly terrified."

Qin Feiling held her slightly cold little hand and said a few words of comfort in a soft voice.

He raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Song and said, "Bring in the palace servant who carried Fuquan's body."

Eunuch Liu immediately responded with great energy.

It was finally his turn to appear.

He was the one who caught this palace servant. What a coincidence... This guy just happened to run into him. Even he himself found it unbelievable.

How could he know that all this was arranged by Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge deliberately had this palace maid delivered to Eunuch Liu.

The next moment, two guards brought a young eunuch into the hall.

The young eunuch seemed to have been tortured. He was covered in blood and his hair was disheveled... Before Eunuch Liu asked him anything, he couldn't wait to confess everything.

"I am guilty. I shouldn't have helped Zi Yan do evil just for that bag of silver. It was Zi Yan who forced me to steal the dagger from Concubine Jia's storeroom... and Sister Qiao'er's handkerchief. It was Zi Yan who bribed the guards at the palace gate and ordered me to secretly carry Fuquan's body away..."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life... I was just greedy for money and didn't kill anyone. All of this is Zi Yan's fault... It has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, please spare me and my family."

Concubine Shu's body was extremely stiff.

At this point, things are clear.

Everything she planned was thwarted one by one.

This time, she lost miserably!

Qin Feiling looked at Eunuch Song and asked, "Have those two guards interrogated him?"

Eunuch Liu nodded quickly: "We've interrogated them, and they've all confessed. Their confessions are exactly the same as this young eunuch's."

Qin Feiling laughed angrily, his eyes fixed on Zi Yan with coldness: "I never thought that such a powerful person like you would appear in my harem."

"A mere palace maid could actually stir up such a big commotion. Tell me... who is the person hiding behind you?"

Luo Bin couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Her face was pale and her eyes were fixed on Zi Yan.

Last night, someone from Luoyun Palace secretly went to see Zi Yan. She just wanted to sow discord between Zi Yan and Concubine Jiang as a master and servant... She really didn't expect that Zi Yan would kill Concubine Jiang directly.

None of this has anything to do with her!

This matter will definitely not involve her.

She is not afraid.

She is innocent.

Zi Yan was pinned to the ground and couldn't move at all.

She knew she was doomed.

The originally perfect plan was ruined by Fuquan.

She hated it and was angry.

She wanted to drag everyone to hell.

Her eyes looked around at the concubines in the hall who were pale with fear.

Concubine Shu tried her best to suppress her emotions and make her look calm and composed.

She even raised her chin and met Zi Yan's gaze.

Zi Yan smiled sinisterly: "Shu Fei..."

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and was not panicked.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zi Yan: "Oh, you first slandered Jiapin, and now you are trying to frame me?"

"He's really like a mad dog, biting whoever he catches."

Although Zi Yan had a premonition that the person stirring up trouble behind the scenes would be Concubine Shu.

But she had no evidence to incriminate Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu never saw her from beginning to end, let alone had any contact with her.

From the very beginning, Concubine Shu cleared herself of all charges. Regardless of success or failure, she stayed out of the matter and was not tainted by any filth.

Zi Yan admired sincerely.

"Your Highness is very courageous... I admire you!"

Concubine Shu straightened her back and smiled gently and dignifiedly.

"A man of integrity has nothing to fear. I haven't harmed Concubine Jiang, so what do I have to fear?"

Zi Yan chuckled, her gaze moved away from Concubine Shu and finally fell on Concubine Luo.

"Shu Fei is not afraid, but what about Luo Fei?"
