The Empress noticed something amiss from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's changed attitude.

She immediately realized that it was Uya Mingzhu who had said something after waking up.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager believed Consort Wuya's words and thought that Yue'er pushed her?

If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome.

The Empress thought this to herself, but on the surface she remained very calm.

She rose gracefully and replied, "As the mistress of the harem, it is only natural that I must go and see Consort Wuya after such an incident."

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with the Empress's attitude and said nothing more.

The group walked towards Chengqian Palace.

Mu Yue was not feeling well, so Chun Ju was holding her.

They soon arrived at Chengqian Palace.

Chengqian Palace is bustling with activity right now.

Almost all the prominent concubines in the palace rushed over.

They weren't there to comfort Consort Wuya; they were there to watch the show.

Some astute individuals had already spread the word about the situation here.

The concubines present were mostly aware that the matter involved the Empress's princess.

They were all curious about how this would end.

Before Mu Yue even entered the side hall where Consort Wuya lived, she heard a mournful cry.

"My child...my child...where is he...?"

Mu Yue had nightmares all night last night.

She was terrified that Consort Wuya would be gone just like that.

She only hoped to change the fate of the Qing Dynasty; she didn't want to harm anyone.

If Consort Wuya were to die like this, it would truly be a case of "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!"

Mu Yue was not prepared for this.

Fortunately, Consort Wuya is still in very good spirits and is even ready to start acting again.

Yesterday, she clearly saw that the way Consort Wuya looked at her belly did not seem like she had deep feelings for the child.

However, this is ultimately just her subjective guess.

Now is not the time to talk about these things.

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress entered the room, they saw that Consort Wuya was pale and had red and swollen eyes, looking as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

Upon noticing the arrival of the Empress Dowager, Consort Wuya immediately tried to get up.

At the same time, she cried out, "Empress Dowager, this servant is useless... I failed to protect the prince..."

As she spoke, Lady Wuya wept.

If Mu Yue hadn't known that this whole thing was orchestrated by Consort Wuya herself, she would have suspected that Consort Wuya had truly been framed.

She has this ability: of all things, she always manages to come up with wicked ideas.

Mu Yue glanced at Consort Wuya before looking away.

But Consort Wuya clearly intended to pin the blame for the child's loss on Muyue.

As she spoke, she brought up the incident in the Imperial Garden the day before.

With her red and swollen eyes from crying, she looked at the Empress Dowager and said, word by word, "If Her Highness the Princess hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have... I wouldn't have fallen, and I wouldn't have..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Looking at Consort Wuya's appearance, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt that she did not seem to be that sad.

The Empress abruptly interrupted, asking, "You say Yue'er pushed you, but do you have any evidence?"

She would never allow anyone to smear her daughter.

Empress Xiaozhuang glanced at the Empress, her eyes showing a hint of displeasure.

The Empress pretended not to see it and continued, "Yesterday, everyone serving in the Imperial Garden saw with their own eyes that you took the initiative to go to Yue'er, not that Yue'er came to you."

"Then you fell to the ground and loudly claimed that Yue'er pushed you, but everyone saw you take Yue'er's hand. How do you explain that?"

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Wuya Mingzhu frowned slightly, realizing that she had been too hasty yesterday and might have overlooked some details.

But no matter what, she couldn't admit that this was her own scheme.

Mu Yue noticed that Consort Wuya's eyes were darting around, and immediately realized that she was up to no good again.

She couldn't leave everything to her mother-in-law.

This is trouble I brought upon myself.

She pursed her lips and opened the system shop.

The items in the system's shop appeared according to her thoughts, and the items she needed appeared.

The first item that appears in the store is Truth Spray.

Truth Spray: Spray it on the target, and after a few seconds, the user will only be able to tell the truth. The effect lasts for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

Required points: 50

There are other products that are even more effective, but none of them work as well as this medicine.

Without hesitation, Mu Yue immediately switched to the Truth Spray.

Soon, a spray bottle the size of a palm appeared in Mu Yue's palm.

Now, all I need to do is get close to Noble Lady Wuya to get the result I want.

Mu Yue calculated the distance between herself and Consort Wuya, and immediately prepared to pretend that her legs were weak and take the opportunity to fall down next to Consort Wuya.

Before Mu Yue could turn her idea into reality, Consort Tong's voice came from outside Chengqian Palace.

Immediately afterwards, Consort Tong walked in.

With a hint of guilt on her face, she said, "I am late, please forgive me, Empress Dowager and Empress!"

“Yinzhen cried all night last night. I was so busy taking care of him that I neglected Consort Wuya. It was really my fault.”

While Consort Tong was speaking, Mu Yue pressed the spray bottle in her hand.

The transparent, odorless gas began to diffuse instantly.

Consort Wuya seemed to sense the danger and frowned.

But no one noticed anything unusual.

She dismissed the sensation she had just felt as an illusion.

The Empress Dowager had never been particularly fond of Consort Tong, but she wouldn't go so far as to embarrass her in front of everyone.

She waved her hand dismissively and said, "No need for formalities!"

"Noble Lady Wuya, you just said that Yue'er pushed you, do you have any proof?"

"You heard what the Empress said just now, do you have any defense to offer?"

The Empress Dowager spoke in a calm tone.

Consort Wuya frowned slightly. "This servant has nothing to say in my defense."

"When I fell, only this servant and Her Highness the Princess were there... I deliberately fell to try and scheme against her..."

Wuya Guiren realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence.

She quickly stopped thinking and hurriedly tried to make amends, saying, "Everyone who serves me knows how much I value the child in my belly."

That's the truth.

However, as her body gradually became heavier, Consort Wuya also felt more dissatisfied with the child in her womb.

Furthermore, seeing herself becoming increasingly ugly in the mirror, Consort Wuya naturally harbored some unpleasant thoughts.

"Slave...slave..."

Realizing that she had uncontrollably spoken her true feelings, Consort Wuya's face immediately turned even paler.

She stopped arguing and just kept crying.

He looked aggrieved.

However, the Empress Dowager and the others were not fools, and naturally noticed the words that Consort Wuya had inadvertently revealed.

The Empress Dowager looked coldly at Consort Wuya and questioned, "You just said you deliberately fell down, what's going on?"
