As Qingying finished speaking, the hall fell completely silent.

Seeing that Hongli's face was becoming more and more gloomy, Gao Xiyue suddenly sobbed twice, causing Hongli to look up.

When he saw Gao Xiyue, the other party had already knelt down.

"Ever since I entered the mansion, I have known that Fu Jin is the mistress of the palace. I have been serving her diligently and never dared to slack off."

"But what did I get in return for all this? The Linglingxiang in the lotus bracelet, the plotting against me when I first entered the mansion, and the fact that I haven't been able to give birth to a child for the prince even after many years in the mansion."

"Hehe... the evil in people's hearts is truly beyond my comprehension..."

"But Your Majesty..."

Having said this, Gao Xiyue looked up and met Hongli's gaze.

"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"

"To be persecuted and even plotted against like this, I wonder if I'll ever have a child of my own again in this lifetime."

Gao Xiyue was born pitiful.

If you only look at her appearance, you might think she is a weak woman.

This display of weakness naturally made Hongli feel even more sympathetic towards her.

He sighed softly, "Xiyue, get up first. I'll have someone take good care of you."

Gao Xiyue's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't insist too much.

He thanked her and helped Mo Xin up again.

Qingying then continued, "Your Highness, I don't know how Princess Ying came to be contaminated with Linglingxiang, but the lotus bracelet was a gift from the Emperor. If word got out that Linglingxiang was added to it, I'm afraid it would incur the Emperor's wrath."

"That is why I had no choice but to let everyone in the mansion leave first."

"And I believe that Fu Jin comes from a noble family and would not do such a thing. Ultimately, the matter still requires His Majesty to personally consult Fu Jin before making a decision."

"As for me and the others, we naturally cannot blame Fu Jin for anything."

Hongli nodded and said, "You have thought it through. If you hadn't spoken up, I'm afraid the news would have spread throughout the palace by now."

After he finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Gao Xiyue and Fucha Zhuying and said, "Mrs. Qing has taken great care of this matter. If I hear any gossip in the mansion, you should know what the consequences will be."

Both of them changed color.

No one had expected that even if one of them was unable to conceive and the other had a miscarriage, it would not allow the prince to change his wife's position.

But I didn't expect that this matter was not just a matter in the backyard of the palace?

Once it touches the Forbidden City, it cannot be dealt with lightly.

But Fucha Zhuying didn't know what she was thinking of. She suddenly looked up at Hongli and said, "Your Highness, I have something to say."

Hongli didn't expect that after talking about this point, Fu Cha Zhuying would still say more.

But after seeing the other person's appearance, he couldn't help but refuse.

"Anything else?"

"Your Highness, I was once given a bracelet by my wife, but for some reason, it was suddenly lost before I became pregnant."

"Doctor Zhang said that my body showed signs of having used Linglingxiang. Now that I think about it, perhaps someone close to me was bribed by Fu Jin long ago and stole this bracelet stained with Linglingxiang."

Hongli fell silent after hearing this.

But Fu Cha Zhu Ying had no intention of stopping immediately.

Then she continued, "And today I had a miscarriage, I..."

Having said this, Fu Cha Zhuying's expression suddenly became sad.

"I told you this because I had already thought about the consequences. Your Highness, I was actually aware of my miscarriage today."

"What did you say?"

Hongli stared at Fu Cha Zhuying with an incredible look on his face.

The other party's gaze did not retreat at all.

"Your Highness, I already knew I couldn't keep the baby in my belly. Before I left today, someone arranged by Fu Jin forced me to drink a bowl of peach kernel soup."

"Why is she like this?"

Fu Cha Zhu Ying shook her head. "The visitor didn't say it clearly, but I think that perhaps what she wants is for me to put all the blame for the miscarriage on Concubine Qing, hoping that the prince will no longer have the same affection for Concubine Qing as before."
