"Your Majesty, please understand that this matter was definitely not done by this concubine!”
"You still dare to be stubborn? You made it yourself. Who else could it be other than you?”Perhaps Emperor Xia was too angry, he was almost certain that Concubine Li was the murderer who wanted to harm his children.
"Your Majesty, even if ChenQie is stupid, she would not poison the food she personally cooked to murder the prince! Wasn't this too obvious? Wasn't he courting death?”
The Queen stared at Concubine Li, unable to see any flaws. She also knew her temper the best, so she said," Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Li has always been generous and loved Zhao 'er and Nian' er very much. How could she do such a vicious thing?”
"Chenxiang, did you meet anyone along the way?”
When they heard Concubine Li ask about her little palace maid, they immediately understood.
The Queen immediately questioned," Damn slave, are you trying to kill your Empress?! Tell me, who did you meet on your way to the Xuan Hall in the afterlife? Did you touch the food box sent to His Highness?”
Chen Xiang, who was trembling in fear, recalled the scene at that time and reported truthfully," Return…Return to Your Majesty. This servant met Consort Xi on the way here…Consort Xi opened the food box.”
The Queen instructed Eunuch Pei," Go and inform Consort Xi.”
The gorgeous woman arrived late. Consort Xi was dressed up in an enchanting manner, but she did not tremble at the sight of this lineup." Why did Your Majesty ask me to come over?”
Seeing Xia Nian approaching, the Queen reached out and pulled her into her arms before asking Consort Xi who was kneeling below," Consort Xi, have you ever opened the food box to see the food Consort Li prepared for the prince?”
"ChenQie has seen it before, only because she was curious about what kind of delicacies Consort Li's younger sister prepared for His Highness. Who knew that it would be tremella lotus seed soup.”Concubine Xi laughed as she spoke. "ChenQie has heard about this matter. It's so pitiful. It must have frightened the young princess.”
"Consort Xi niangniang, someone said that you were the one who poisoned her!”
"Your Highness, you have wronged me!”
Emperor Xia, who had not spoken for a long time, said," We will only know if we have wronged you after we have investigated. Before the matter was investigated, Concubine Li and Concubine Xi were grounded in their respective palaces. They were not allowed to go out and were not allowed to contact anyone!”
"Yes."
When he returned to the Moon Cherry Palace, the mahogany door of the bedroom was opened. Hua 'er knelt by Xia Nian's feet." Princess, please punish me!"”
"What are you doing? Get up!”
"This servant is guilty, please punish me, princess!”
"What crime do you have? I asked you to do it. Don't tell me this princess has to add another crime?”
"Princess…"
"Get up." Xia Nian looked at Hua 'er's red and swollen forehead. Fortunately, there was no bleeding. She could not help but feel sorry for her." Sorry to trouble you. It must be very painful, right?”
Today, Xia Nian had brought Hua 'er with her because she wanted to protect Xia Zhao. She could not tell anyone about the sadness and reluctance in her heart. She could only suppress it in her heart. Hua 'er was just a little palace maid. She would definitely be punished for breaking her master's things. If it was light, she would be expelled from the slave list. If it was serious, she would be beaten to death.
Moreover, Xia Nian had done it sincerely. Even if it was the master's fault, the servant had to bear the responsibility.
Suddenly, he thought of Xue 'er's petite snow-white figure that was no longer lively and moving about. It was still a pitiful little life. Fortunately, he had it to protect the painting.
"It's good that Your Highness is fine. " Who would have thought…that soup…" Hua 'er had only heard the news after returning to the Moon Cherry Palace. She broke out in a cold sweat the moment she heard the news. If she had not dropped the bowl, the viscountess would have…
As she applied the medicine for Hua 'er, Xia Nian's hand lost control of its strength. The medicine bottle fell to the ground, and white powder scattered all over the ground. The child's body made Xia Nian feel defeated again and again.
