"It was in the inner hall of Yuanchen Palace that Master Han sneaked in. He aided Concubine Jia in abusing me. Your Majesty, Concubine Jia and Master Han had been having an affair for a long time. I discovered their secret, so Concubine Jia was determined to abuse me and put me to death. Fortunately, the Empress sent someone to secretly help me, and I escaped death and am still alive today..."

Qingying recounted what had happened in the previous few days, avoiding the important points.

She also deliberately ignored the matter between Concubine Sun and Zhang Da Ying, and only focused on the affair between Zhou Lingge and Han Mubai.

Any man will care about a woman's loyalty.

Once a woman loses her loyalty and has affairs with other men, no matter how much His Majesty likes Zhou Lingge, he will no longer pamper her as before, obey her in everything, and indulge her endlessly.

Sure enough, after Qingying finished speaking, Qin Feiling's face immediately turned ashen.

He stared at Qingying intently and shouted angrily, "Do you know how serious a crime it is to slander a concubine for having an affair with a man outside the palace? The inner court of the imperial palace is heavily guarded... How could Han Mubai sneak into Yuanchen Palace without anyone noticing?"

"You said Han Mubai and Concubine Jia were having an affair. Do you have any evidence? If you are just making up stories out of nothing... I will definitely punish you with the grave crime of confiscating your property and exterminating your entire clan!"

The most sensitive point in Qin Feiling's heart can be said to be Han Mubai.

In fact, he has been avoiding this issue these days.

When he was with Zhou Lingge, he tried not to mention Han Mubai.

He knew better than anyone that if Mrs. Han had not been against it, Zhou Lingge would have married into the Han family and become Han Mubai's wife long ago.

It is undeniable that Zhou Lingge and Han Mubai were once a pair of lovers with a deep understanding of each other.

This incident was like a thorn, firmly stuck in his heart, making him dare not touch it or mention it.

But now... she was singled out so blatantly by Qingying.

How could Qin Feiling still remain calm and composed?

He even wanted to kill Qingying.

Qingying's eyes were full of fear and her body trembled violently.

She kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Everything I said is true... As for the evidence... Qiao'er also saw Han Mubai. Your Majesty, all you need to do is drag Qiao'er away and torture her severely, and she will naturally confess everything."

Zhou Shiya almost laughed out loud, she looked at Qingying in surprise.

She really didn't expect that Qingying would bring her such a big surprise.

She had no idea... that Han Mubai had once sneaked into Yuanchen Palace.

Good news came out of nowhere...God is really helping her!

She could hardly control herself, and the corners of her mouth were curling up wildly.

Qingying said it so confidently, it seems that it cannot be false.

Zhou Shiya looked at Zhou Lingge, whose face was pale without a trace of blood... She felt relieved.

Zhou Lingge, this idiot, she is really looking for death!

How dare she let Han Mubai sneak into her palace?

And Qingying saw it?

Huh... She didn't kill him immediately and kept Qingying alive?

Should she say that her sister is really stupid or just too naive?

Qiao'er fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, everything Qingying said is completely false. She is deliberately fabricating and slandering my queen."

She was sure that apart from Qingying and herself, no one else saw Master Han appear in Yuanchen Palace.

Those who help Mr. Han are all his people. He will naturally shut up their mouths!

As long as she insisted that Qingying was lying and deliberately fabricating facts to slander Concubine Jia, this accusation would have no persuasive power and would completely collapse.

Qiao'er's eyes flickered slightly, and his mind worked very quickly.

"I have never seen Young Master Han. Young Master Han has never appeared in Yuanchen Palace. I am willing to guarantee with my life that even if Your Majesty beats me to death, I will not slander my wife to save my own life."

"Your Majesty, do you remember that when Qingying first met the Empress in the palace, she produced a forged letter and jade pendant, claiming it was from Young Master Han. In fact, Young Master Han never asked her to give anything."

After Qiao'er's reminder, Qin Feiling did remember about the jade pendant.

"There's actually another letter?"

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she looked like she didn't want to say more. "The contents of that letter were extremely deplorable. I was afraid that His Majesty would be enraged and take his anger out on me. So I took the initiative and secretly burned it."

"Qingying knew that I was already His Majesty's concubine, but she showed no restraint and was determined to bring me and Han Mubai together. She was clearly harming me, but I forgave her again and again because of our past friendship. But she was not only ungrateful, but also fabricated such a thing to slander me."

"Your Majesty, I have no evidence to defend myself. I only ask Your Majesty to give me a little more trust and tolerance. If Your Majesty does not believe me, then I can only die as an apology."

As she spoke, she looked up at the pillar not far away, as if she was going to die heroically.

Qin Feiling was shocked when he saw it.

He quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her up: "Don't do anything stupid, I didn't say I don't believe you."

Zhou Lingge raised his head with red eyes, looking at Qin Feiling aggrievedly: "Your Majesty..."

"I am truly wronged... I wonder who on earth has instigated Qingying to betray her master so repeatedly, thus sending me into an eternal hell. I spared her out of our old friendship, yet she repeatedly tries to kill me... Woohoo... I really don't know what to do."

Her body was soft and she snuggled into his arms, crying so aggrieved and heartbroken.

The sound of her crying was not unpleasant at all. Instead, it had a kind of pitiful, delicate, and captivating beauty.

Qin Feiling's heart was softened by her crying.

He held her in his arms and kept coaxing her softly.

"Don't cry, I won't believe her."

"I only trust you! You, a dog slave who betrays his master, deserve to die!"

Qingying's eyes were full of disbelief, her face was pale, and she stared at Qin Feiling in a daze.

She thought that if she brought up Han Mubai, His Majesty would definitely vent his anger on Zhou Lingge, and would immediately have Qiao'er taken away and tortured.

It is impossible for any man not to care about a woman's loyalty.

But Your Majesty...how could he let it go so easily?

Zhou Lingge just cried a little, and he softened his heart and believed it?

Is this still the wise and brave emperor who acts decisively and efficiently?

Not to mention Qingying's surprise, even Concubine Li, Concubine Rou and others found it unbelievable.

Zhou Shiya was so angry that her face turned ashen.

How could Your Majesty be so arrogant towards Zhou Lingge?

Doesn't he care about Han Mubai anymore?

He doesn't care about the fact that Zhou Lingge is cheating on him?

Zhou Shiya couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, in my opinion... what Qingying said this time might be true..."

Zhou Lingge's voice choked with sobs, her face full of grievance as she retorted, "Whoever suspects must provide evidence. Qingying has no evidence at all, and her empty words... are truly absurd. Then I want to say... What connection does the Empress have with others?"
