"Even if you lose your life, just drag him out of the house and don't bother to reply!"

Hongli spoke again, and Xiangning could no longer bear it.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!"

"If you want to live, why don't you confess the truth immediately?"

Jin Yuyan was too outgoing today, and when she spoke again, she attracted everyone's attention.

But when I think about the fact that he has been living in the same courtyard with Ying Gege, I think there must have been some conflicts between them, which is understandable.

Xiang Ning sat up again, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. What the princess did today was truly horrific. I was worried, so I had to wander around outside..."

"Appalling?"

Xiang Ning's choice of words made everyone's face change color.

What kind of thing would make her speak like this?

But Xiang Ning continued to speak without anyone asking any more questions.

"Your Highness, my princess's pregnancy has been very unfavorable since the beginning. The court doctors have tried every possible means to keep the child alive until now, but in the end, the mother-child bond is weak, and we cannot allow the little prince to be born."

"Since entering the palace, Gege has been deeply favored by the prince. Among all the masters in the palace, only Concubine Qing can compare with her. The master has long been dissatisfied with this."

"A few days ago, I mentioned this to you. Rather than losing a child in vain, we should take this opportunity to plot against Concubine Qing. That way, no one in the entire palace's backyard will be able to compare to Gege."

"If I get pregnant again, the child I give birth to will definitely be more favored by the prince than the eldest prince."

"So...so, before leaving today, the master had already made a bowl of tea with peach kernel powder. The child must have been unable to stay!"

After she finished speaking, Xiang Ning prostrated herself on the ground, obviously terrified to the extreme.

Everyone was shocked by Xiang Ning's words.

But no one noticed the surprise and panic that flashed across Jin Yuyan's eyes.

There was a loud crash.

He swept the teacup in Hongli's hand to the ground.

Everyone, led by Qingying, knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, please calm down."

"Xiang Ning, do you know what would happen if there was even a trace of falsehood in what you said?"

Xiang Ning trembled continuously and her body stiffened slightly for a moment.

Then she immediately said, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense. What I say is absolutely true and there is no falsehood!"

"presumptuous!"

Just as Xiang Ning finished her words of assurance, a low growl that sounded a little weak was heard again.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fu Cha Zhuying, his face pale, holding Qi Xin, standing trembling by the door.

"You are my dowry maid. How have I wronged you that you slander me in front of the prince?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Cha Zhuying's body softened and he fell to his knees on the ground.

Qi Xin's face was filled with worry. "Princess..."

Fu Cha Zhu Ying gritted her teeth, tightly grasped Qi Xin's hand, and looked at Hongli, whose face was ashen. "Your Highness, although I have been pregnant for less than three months, this child is the first child of you and me. How can I not take it seriously?"

"How could they use him to frame Concubine Qing?!"

Fu Cha Zhuying looked haggard and miserable, which made Hongli feel sympathetic for no reason.

"Come here, help Princess Ying up and give her a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Even though Fu Cha and Zhu Ying were slandered by Xiang Ning before, they never shed a tear.

Instead, at this moment, tears couldn't stop flowing.

This made Hongli feel even more distressed.

After a while, Fu Cha Zhu Ying sat down, took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and said, "Your Highness, I have been weak since I was a child, but I never thought that it would affect the fetus in my belly. It is all my fault that I cannot give birth to a child for Your Highness safely..."

Hongli pursed his lips for a moment and said, "Never mind. If you really don't know anything about this matter, I naturally won't blame you. But I still need to find out how your child died."

Zhang Xun stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Just say what you want to say."

Zhang Xun bowed again. "Your Highness, I was too hasty when I took Ying Gege's pulse earlier. Coupled with the peach kernel powder in the milk tea, I mistakenly thought that was the cause of her miscarriage. But now that I think about it carefully, I realize that Ying Gege's body seems to be showing signs of long-term exposure to Linglingxiang."
