"this…"

Concubine Hui was stunned and subconsciously said, "I'm in a hurry to deliver dinner to Yongzhang. I wonder what the Empress wants to do? If it's not urgent, why not wait until I return from the prince's residence before paying my respects?"

Sanbao bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Empress wants you to go immediately without delay."

Concubine Hui's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

In her opinion, the queen had been the empress for many years and had never been harsh to them, the concubines.

But today he was so unreasonable and insisted that I go to Jingren Palace immediately.

Could it be…

He forced a smile but didn't dare to refuse.

"The Empress has summoned me, so naturally I will not refuse. Mo Xin, give the food box to Xing Xuan and have her take Yong Zhang's dinner to the prince's residence."

After saying that, he looked at Sanbao and said, "Let's go."

The sedan chair hurried along at Sanbao's urging, and it took only a cup of tea for it to arrive at the gate of Jingren Palace.

Concubine Hui got off the sedan chair and didn't look at Sanbao again.

He supported Mo Xin and walked towards the hall.

His expression has returned to normal.

When I stepped into the main hall, Qingying was checking the account books sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Concubine Hui came up to her and knelt down, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good health."

Qingying didn't even raise her head.

"Sanbao, take everyone down. I have something to say to Concubine Hui."

"twitter."

Sanbao responded, and after a moment, only Qingying, Xiuxia, their servant, and Concubine Hui were left in the hall.

Not letting her get up for a long time made Concubine Hui feel that she came here today because the Queen wanted to punish her.

But she believed that she had done everything right, so she naturally didn't feel afraid.

But Qingying's next words made Concubine Hui's face turn completely pale.

"Concubine Hui is quite capable. She had Concubine Chunhui killed, and still managed to turn her son into her own child without any harm."

"He even stepped on her corpse and said he would become a concubine. How cruel and ruthless he is. It really opened my eyes."

Concubine Hui clenched her fists tightly, and the handkerchief was almost torn to pieces by her, but she still couldn't believe what she heard.

How could the Queen know?

But Qingying doesn't care what the other person thinks.

He flipped through the account book and continued, "Although Su Lujun entered the palace later than you, she has served for many years and has never done anything wrong. She has never done anything evil like you did, following Fu Cha."

"How can she not be worthy of the position of Imperial Concubine even though she has a son? How could you be so cruel as to take her life?"

Qingying's voice was flat, but the words she said made Concubine Hui's heart sink again and again.

But he was still stubborn and knew that if he admitted it, there would be no good result.

After taking a deep breath, Concubine Hui finally spoke, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know what you mean by this."

"The death of Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui was caused by her miscarriage. What does it have to do with anyone else?"

Concubine Hui is not a smart person.

Even though he was being tough, his body began to tremble slightly, perhaps because of fear or because he had been kneeling for so long.

He reached out and picked up a stack of papers from the table and threw it in front of Concubine Hui.

Qingying's voice rang out again, "Let's take a look. Is there anything here that wrongs you?"

These pieces of paper recorded what Qingying had found out, which was how Hui Fei ordered Shuang Xi and the servants of Zhongcui Palace to take Su Lujun's life.

It records every detail, clearly showing how Concubine Hui had someone do the killing and why.

After reading only one page, Concubine Hui's face was filled with panic.

Qingying sneered.

"He was jealous of Su's promotion to Imperial Concubine and thought she was unworthy of the position, so he wanted to kill her."

"You had someone deliberately put something inside Yong Zhang's clothes that was supposed to kill her, causing Su to die at the hands of her own son."

"Empress Hui, I had no idea you had such a vicious mind."

The armor clattered on the table, and a cold look flashed across Qingying's eyes.

"I was originally puzzled. When Su was still around, she often brought Yongzhang to Jingren Palace. Even if the child had grown up and didn't want to be close to adults, he shouldn't be so hostile to me."
