"No need to say anything else."

Qingying raised her hand and said, "You said that this was done intentionally by Noble Min. How do you say that?"

As soon as this question was asked, Concubine Hui felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Your Highness, I am a dull-witted concubine, and I cannot stand provocation. Today, Fucha repeatedly whispered to me that Concubine Mei was committing an insubordination. I was so angry that I lost my mind and did this foolish thing."

"Xing Xuan and the others heard these words clearly. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."

As Concubine Hui said this, she became a little excited again.

Noble Lady Min glanced at Concubine Hui, then stepped forward and knelt. "Noble Concubine, I dare not argue with what Concubine Hui said, but how can someone harm someone and then simply shift all the blame onto someone else's words?"

"Your Majesty is fair in her conduct. I am willing to listen to your admonitions, but I do not wish to suffer injustice for nothing."

"How dare you! Fucha, how dare you slander me?!"

The imperial concubine shouted loudly, then suddenly turned around and looked at Qingying.

"Your Highness, I swear on my life that if I tell a lie today, I will..."

At this point, a trace of confusion flashed across Concubine Hui's face.

But he became firm in an instant.

"If I tell you even one lie, I will never be able to get pregnant again in this life!"

After these words were spoken, not only Concubine Min, but even Qingying looked at Concubine Hui in surprise.

Who in the palace doesn't know what's bothering Concubine Hui?

Starting this incident shows how the other party is feeling at the moment.

But how can you let go of harming others just by swearing an oath?

Qingying tapped the table twice with her gilded armor. "Concubine Hui, Concubine Mei gave birth prematurely because of you. How can a single oath completely erase this sin?"

"Your Majesty, I do not ask for an unscathed escape. I only ask for justice from Your Majesty. Do not let this bitch who instigated this behind the scenes go free!"

"Empress Hui, this matter involves the health of Noble Lady Mei, and it is not something I can decide alone."

After saying this, he looked at Noble Lady Min again and said, "Noble Lady Min, do you have any objection to what Concubine Hui said?"

"Your Highness, I have no such intention..."

Just as Concubine Min was about to argue, Qingying raised her hand to interrupt, "If that's the case, you certainly won't accept Concubine Hui's words that Xingxuan and the others can testify."

"I don't think you can say this loudly, but your personal maid should be able to hear it. Come here."

"Mother, my servant is here."

"Under severe punishment, it is difficult to lie. Take away the noble lady Min's personal maid and give her thirty lashes before you reply."

Qingying's tone was extremely calm, but her words made both Concubine Min and Qi Xin change their expressions.

"Your Highness, I have never done anything like this. How can you punish my servant with a stick?"

Qingying curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Concubine Min with a look of frightening indifference.

"I have a good understanding of Concubine Hui's personality over the years, and..."

"Haha, how can you be so careless? I'm in charge of the six palaces. I want to investigate the cause of Concubine Mei's injury. Why can't I use torture? Do you think you can question my actions?"

"Xiu Xia, pull Qi Xin down!"

A loud shout, which didn't sound very loud, made Concubine Min's face turn pale immediately.

What a joke, idiot, why bother putting any thought into it?

She didn't respond, but Xiuxia wouldn't just sit there and wait.

With a wave of his hand, two middle-aged maids who looked very strong came up and dragged Qi Xin out.

But Qi Xin was unwilling at this time.

"My lady, please save me! If you give me thirty strokes of the cane, I will surely die!"

Concubine Min looked at Qi Xin with struggle in her eyes.

Seeing this, Qi Xin felt a chill in her heart.

Without any hesitation, she immediately gritted her teeth and looked at Qingying, "Your Highness, I am willing to speak. Please spare my life..."

"Qixin, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

When Qi Xin was about to be dragged away, Concubine Min did not move.

At this moment, Qi Xin was about to explain, but she immediately took action.

How can it not be disheartening to see such repeated events?

The two maids let go of Qi Xin.

With a wry smile, Qi Xin knelt closer and said, "My lady, what happened today was all your fault. It has nothing to do with me. I have served you for many years and have always been dedicated to you. How could you be so cruel and take my life so easily?"
