A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

The palace maid wept bitterly and kept kowtowing to the floor, appearing to be a loyal protector of her mistress.

Seeing this, Fang Xinrou quickly spoke up: "Your Majesty, Consort Ning suffered a great calamity tonight, almost harming the imperial heir in her womb. I also heard that she was deliberately pushed down. No matter what, Consort Ning is the only one in the six palaces carrying the imperial offspring, and the preciousness of that child goes without saying. Your Majesty should investigate this matter and give Consort Ning justice."

As he spoke, his sinister gaze toward Xin Moyan became even more undisguised, staring intently at her face, as if he couldn't wait to see Xin Moyan's fate.

As for why Consort Rou suddenly hated Xin Moyan so much, she had come down from the banquet earlier to chat with her father and brother. Unexpectedly, Fang Chengwei turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat as soon as he saw Xin Moyan. After asking her carefully, she learned that the woman her brother had harassed on the night of his accident was Xin Moyan. Unfortunately, after that night, her brother could no longer have sex. The inside story must be related to Xin Moyan. Moreover, her father's favorite concubine was pregnant, and her mother was crying all day at home. Her brother's position as the only son was probably in jeopardy. All of this was thanks to that vixen. How could she not hate her?

"Yes! Your Majesty, I just saw Consort Ning and the Princess fall down in the scuffle. Consort Ning is still unconscious. Even if there is any misunderstanding, it should be clarified in time."

Yun Zhaozhao spoke with particular sincerity. She was just about to go find her younger brother when Song Yining suddenly cried out and fell to the ground. It didn't matter whether Xin Moyan pushed her or not; the main thing was that these were the two people she hated the most, so of course she wanted to make a big scene. It was a pity that the dragon fetus was unharmed.

Xin Mingwan turned to look at her son. Yuan Huaijun remained calm and showed no emotion. "The imperial grandson is unharmed! In my opinion, let's just let this matter drop. Perhaps Consort Ning lost her balance and fell."

Even as a mother, she could never truly understand her son's thoughts. And no matter how lovable Yan'er was now, she was still just a princess, and naturally could not compare to the imperial heir. She believed that Yan'er would not do such a thing, but if her son believed the accusations of others and blamed Yan'er in a fit of anger, she would definitely not stand for it. Why not suppress the matter in advance?

Seeing the Empress Dowager step in to mediate, the others dared not say anything more, after all, Xin Moyan was the Empress Dowager's own niece...

"Your Majesty, my lady... my lady discovered Princess Danhua's secret, and that's why the princess used such a cruel method against her."

Xin Moyan's lips twitched; she knew they would never let this opportunity to mess with her slip by...

"Oh? The princess is perfectly fine, so how could her secret have been discovered by Consort Ning? Yueji, you can't just say things like that. Could it be that Princess Danhua is plotting to harm Consort Ning?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Mingwan became even more displeased. "Consort Yun, watch your words. The matter has not yet been investigated, so you must not wrong Yan'er."

Yun Zhaozhao wasn't afraid, after all, Xin Moyan was being pointed at by everyone. However, she was curious about what secret Xin Moyan had mentioned that the palace maid had.

She quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I was only thinking about the safety of the royal offspring. I believe Your Majesty would not want to see anything wrong with the imperial grandson. Besides, Princess Danhua has not said a word of explanation since she entered the palace. Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what the princess has to say?"

Yuan Huaijun did not answer her question, but instead beckoned to Xin Moyan in the corner, "Yan'er, come here to talk."

On the surface, she pushed his wife and children, so would this imperial cousin be furious? However, this person's thoughts are as unpredictable as Xuan Yuan's; as long as she insists that the person is not Yuan Huailie, that's enough.

"Your Majesty, Aunt."

Xin Mingwan frowned, her worry evident in her eyes. "Yan'er, quickly tell your aunt what happened just now?"

Looking at that kind and gentle woman, she felt a warmth in her heart. Her aunt believed in her, and that was enough...

She remained calm and composed, saying unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, Aunt, I did not push Consort Ning."

The palace maid kneeling on the ground suddenly raised her head and angrily questioned her, "Princess Danhua, in full view of everyone, my lady fell down because of the scuffle between you and me. Do you still want to deny it?"

"In full view of everyone? Those people just now, who didn't only see Consort Ning's back and the way she fell? Who saw me push Consort Ning down with my own hands? Go and find her for me, I'll be waiting here."

"..."

It seems no one expected her to say that. Shouldn't Xin Moyan be crying and protesting her innocence?

"Princess Danhua, you cannot speak nonsense and distort the truth just because my lady is not here!"

Xin Moyan's tone was not loud, and her clear and pure eyes reflected a firm belief, "Your lady is right here, and I still say the same thing: I did not push Consort Ning."

She stepped forward, looked down and stared intently into the palace maid's eyes, naturally exuding an aura of authority, as if everything she said and did was right and beyond question. "Look into my eyes. Did I push Consort Ning to the ground?"

Rose shrank back in fright at the strong and sharp gaze. For a moment, she almost thought that a great general was standing in front of her. The eyes and expression were too similar!

“Answer me.”

"I..." With Song Yining's instructions in mind, Yueji suddenly felt much more confident and looked directly into Xin Moyan's eyes.

"It was because Princess Danhua was caught in the act by the Empress, and fearing that the Empress would report her to His Majesty, she deliberately pushed the Empress to the ground."

"Good thing? Yueji, let me ask you, how come you and your servant are on the same path as Princess Danhua? Furthermore, you keep saying that Consort Ning ruined the princess's plans? What kind of good thing is that?"

Fang Xinrou calmly touched her newly painted balsam nails, successfully drawing attention to the very beginning of the incident.

Yueji looked at Xin Moyan timidly, and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, this servant... this servant dares not say."

Xin Moyan rolled her eyes rather inelegantly. "You dare to accuse me of plotting against the imperial heir, what else wouldn't you dare to say?"

“Princess, my lady originally did not want to report this matter, but who knew that you would hold a grudge and push her to the ground. Now that things have come to this, don’t blame me for being rude.”

After saying this, she kowtowed in the direction of Emperor Yuan and said sadly, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, just now Consort Ning said that it was stuffy in the palace, so this servant accompanied her to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. Unexpectedly, we ran into the Princess having an affair with a man. The Empress kindly advised the Princess, but instead, she was retaliated against by the Princess!"

Fang Xinrou feigned shock and covered her mouth, "Adultery? Xin Moyan, how dare you!"
