The sudden rise made everyone stunned.

By the time she realized what she was doing, Yingxia and Yinxiu were already fighting each other. Yingxia seemed to be furious, and she started to hit the person with her big ears.

The Queen frowned and said, "Hurry up and pull them away!"

After receiving the order, the servants in the palace quickly stepped forward and pulled the two people away.

Yingxia was very aggressive, and Yinxiu was the one who was beaten. At this moment, her hair and clothes were all torn, and she was trembling with fear.

"What's going on, you want to beat her like this!" the queen asked in a deep voice.

Yingxia wiped the tears from her face and glared at Yinxiu.

"The Queen, she is responsible for cooking the soothing soup for Concubine He every day. Concubine He trusts her and gives her this job. She never cooks soup from other people's hands. Now the soothing soup has been poisoned.

She must have done it!"

It was shocking when I said this.

The little maid who cooked the soothing soup was not only instructed by He Bin to give Wan Lingyi the killer medicine, but she was also ordered by someone else to poison He Bin.

It’s true that those who are capable work hard.

Pei Yao looked at all this with cold eyes, his eyes were sinister and terrifying.

"Good, very good. There are actually many talented people in my harem. There are more talents than in the previous dynasty."

After saying this, he gave instructions to the side.

"Hong Zheng, take this palace maid down to me, send her to a secret cell, and pry her mouth open."

The secret prison was where the guilty slaves in the palace were sent to be tortured.

Using the word "dark" to describe it is not appropriate enough, it should be called "water prison" with the word "water".

The prison has not seen the light of day for many years, and it is unknown how many criminal slaves have died there. The water in the cell is thigh-deep, and the stench is overwhelming. There are also unknown insects and ants in the water that bite people.

Moreover, the cell is low and you can only bend your waist at almost 90 degrees when you enter. Naturally, you cannot sit down or squat down. The water will cover your mouth and nose and suffocate you, so you can only stand in a hunched position.

.

If you throw them in, even if you don't need to be punished, your life will be worse than death, and you will confess immediately.

Evidently Yinxiu had heard of this place. As soon as Pei Yao finished speaking, he was shaking like a sieve and his face was as pale as a dead person.

When the person who came to drag her touched her shoulder, Yinxiu immediately jumped up as if bitten by a poisonous snake.

Immediately, he rushed towards Wan Lingyi like crazy.

"No, I don't want to go to the secret prison. Wan Lingyi saves this slave. This slave is working for you. You said that you would save the lives of this slave and his family. You said that as long as this slave is willing to testify, it is He who is the concubine."

If the medicine harms you, you will definitely ask the emperor to spare my life. Wan Lingyi, please speak to me, I don’t want to go to the secret prison, I don’t want to go!”

Unprepared for her sudden attack, Yuetao didn't stop her, letting Yinxiu hug Wan Lingyi's legs firmly.

Wan Lingyi was also frightened and quickly pushed and beat her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. I asked you to do something for me. You, you and your concubine are just harming me. What else do you want to harm me now!"

"You bitch, get out of here!"

Yuetao reacted and pushed Yinxiu away desperately, tightly guarding Wanlingyi behind her.

At this time, Yinxiu seemed to be scared out of her mind. Seeing that Wan Lingyi was not protecting her, she turned around and quickly climbed up to the main seat.

"Empress, Empress, I know you are the most tolerant and kind-hearted. Please save me. I am wrong. I know you are wrong. I was indeed instructed by Concubine He to give Wan Lingyi the killer medicine.

But Wan Lingyi is not innocent, she, after knowing the truth of the matter, instigated the slave to rebel and let the slave poison Concubine He in the service of her official position!"

As she spoke, she quickly added something as if to prove her innocence.

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check. There is still unused poison in the slave's residence. In the box under the slave's bed, there is a pair of bracelets that Wan Ling Yi rewarded, a hairpin and silver. The slave has not touched it yet.

Woolen cloth!"

Listening to her say these words, Wan Lingyi was shocked and angry.

He couldn't help but go up to beat her and scold her.

"You bastard, what are you talking about? I never asked you to do this. You, you, the emperor, this bastard is full of lies. You should quickly take her to a secret cell and interrogate her severely!"

"Wan Lingyi wants Yinxiu to die quickly, so that she can die without any evidence!"

Ying Xia, who was on the side, immediately came forward on her knees and kowtowed to the person in charge.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, even if Concubine He is wrong, Wan Lingyi may not be clean. If Yinxiu's words are true or false, we will know after sending someone to check them. Palace rules treat everyone equally. Wan Lingyi found out that our empress did something wrong.

But I have appealed to the Queen to make the decision, but at the same time I pretend to be weak and pitiful, and at the same time use secret means to harm our Queen, it may not be wrong!"

To be honest, Fang Yun felt that this theory was a bit crooked.

But it is right to grasp one point.

According to the palace rules, Wan Lingyi does not have the right to deal with He concubine privately.

And it has to be said that Ying Xia's words at this moment also weakened Wan Lingyi's weak image a lot.

How can one be kind-hearted by treating another person's body with his own way?

And the reason why this matter was brought up was because she had ridiculed He concubine for not being able to have a baby.

Finally, they sent people to search Yongle Palace.

Wan Lingyi originally thought she could prove her innocence, but she didn't expect that the things found in Yinxiu's package were not bad, just as she said.

"Impossible, these are not my concubine's things. My concubine's things are still well stored in the attic!" Wan Lingyi looked at those items and panicked.

Yuetao also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty allowed your servant to go back and look for Lingyi's jewelry. I collected it myself!"

Pei Yao glanced at their master and servant, then gave the opportunity and asked Hong Zheng to follow.

But after waiting for a long time, Yuetao, who was brought back by Hong Zheng, turned pale.

Things were missing, and the few missing items were exactly the same as those found in Yinxiu's baggage.

In an instant, Wan Lingyi was anxious and angry.

He knelt down anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, since I have already chosen to report Concubine He, why don't you wait until she is punished before venting your anger!"

"Because you said that Concubine He's mother-in-law is not from a lowly family, and the infliction of poison on you did not cause serious harm. I was afraid that the emperor would not punish her too severely, so I wanted to do it quickly!"

Yinxiu immediately stood by and continued to expose.

"Your Majesty, Concubine He's symptoms would not have been so serious. This servant was afraid of being discovered by Concubine He, so she wanted to prevent Concubine He from getting sick as soon as possible, so she secretly increased the dosage of the medicine. If she followed the instructions of the imperial edict, Concubine He would

I won’t get sick so quickly!”

These words blocked Wan Lingyi's words.

The more anxious and angry I feel, the less I know how to distinguish. Wan Lingyi is like this at the moment.

But now the scene is that Concubine He and Wan Lingyi are plotting against each other.

Pei Yao lowered his eyes and clenched his hands on the table and chair, his knuckles turned white. Although there was no emotion or anger on his face, the low pressure around him told people that he was extremely annoyed at this moment.

Fang Yun took all this in his eyes without any trace, and thought in his heart, it's time.

The next second, Yan Wei's figure appeared at the door.

After walking in, he seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and then, under the eyes of everyone, he behaved himself.

"This slave is here to see the Emperor and the Queen. Concubine Zhao has not returned to the palace for a long time. The fourth prince seems to be unwell and is crying. This slave is here to invite Concubine Zhao."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Yun stood up in a hurry.

Later, he felt something was wrong and looked at Pei Yao anxiously, "Your Majesty."

It's not appropriate to just leave right now.

Pei Yao was already too bored and didn't want to stay anymore, so he stood up directly.

"I will go with you to see it."

Finally, he turned around and said to the queen.

"It's up to you to handle today's affairs. Concubine He and Wan Lingyi will handle it according to the palace rules."

"yes."

The Queen responded, basically knowing what was going on.

As for Fang Yunma, as a gentle mother who cared about her children, she naturally left her body alone and took Pei Yao away.
