Hearing him mention the queen, Emperor Xuan Cheng frowned and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"You are always considerate. If other princes are as sensible as you, then I will be satisfied."

King Yi comforted him thoughtfully: "The princes are all great, but I'm still far behind!"

Everyone present murmured, no wonder this King Yi is favored. Look at what he said, he is like the biological son of Emperor Xuancheng. After such a big thing happened, the third prince was still lying there not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but the emperor still had time to follow him. King Yi is chatting here.

The emperor's eunuch Jiang Xiangfu said: "To inform the emperor, the maid who will lead the way for Miss Tai'anhou has been brought."

The maid was roughly thrown to the ground. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is aware of everything. This matter has nothing to do with this slave!"

Meng Liu looked at the maid's face, which looked familiar. Could it be hers?

Emperor Xuancheng stared angrily: "Come here, give me a beating. I want to see if your mouth is hard or your bones are hard!"

The sound of "papapapa" became louder and louder each time, which showed that the executioner also knew how angry the emperor was.

"Don't...don't...hit me, slave...slave, slave, slave!" the maid said weakly.

Emperor Xuancheng waved his hand to stop.

The maid lay on the ground like a dead pig: "Yes... Princess Wen Ning ordered the slave to do this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid lost her temper.

Jiang Xiangfu also reported: "This maid is indeed Princess Wen Ning's."

Meng Liu sneered. The person behind the scenes was so calculating that he not only hurt the third prince but also hit Xiaojiu. With such a vicious sister, it would be difficult for Xiaojiu to ascend to a high position in the future.

She must be a virtuous concubine!

Emperor Xuancheng looked at Meng Liu: "Wen Ning, do you recognize this maid?"

Meng Liu replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "Reporting to the emperor, she is indeed a maid in the Erchen Mansion, but there are so many maids in the Erchen Mansion, it is possible that someone planted a spy."

Mrs. Tai'an Hou cried and cried: "It's you! It must be you! You have always hated my house. My daughter was just dissatisfied with the results of the flower folding competition. You are so cruel that you want to kill her!"

"Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me, Tai'anhou Mansion!" A sad male voice came, and it was Tai'anhou himself who strode closer.

Rou Zhaoyi glared at the two of them: "There is no evidence at the moment, just a maid casually slandering him. How can this prove that it was my son?"

Marquis Tai'an's eyes were about to burst: "I've already given my confession, but you still don't admit it?"

King Yi followed Emperor Xuancheng and sat at the top: "I don't think Princess Wen Ning did this."

King Yi never got involved in these matters. Emperor Xuancheng was surprised: "Oh? How can you say this?"

King Yi recounted what happened on the street over and over again: "Thanks to the princess for saving the siege on the street that day, it can be seen that the princess is not that kind of evil-hearted person."

The emperor softened his expression. He did not expect that Wen Ning would still encounter injustice on the road. She was a good person. If she was really as vicious as the maid said, she would never be able to help King Yi even if she thought about it.

Jiang Xiangfu: "Your Majesty, this servant girl's family has also been investigated. The only three people left in her family are her blind father and her brother and sister-in-law. Recently, they received a large sum of money. Her brother and sister-in-law immediately started a new family. The servant went to check the house and found out that the source of the money was..."

Emperor Xuancheng was shocked: "Who is it?"

Jiang Xiangfu looked at the emperor's face and said tremblingly: "She is the Concubine Xian."

"What? Impossible!" Concubine Xian immediately retorted. She was not the one who did this in the first place.

Jiang Xiangfu presented another stack of paper: "Your Majesty, this is a confession."

Concubine Xian immediately became anxious when she saw it: "How is this possible? I have never seen this maid before. If it was me who did it, how could I leave such an obvious clue? Someone must have framed her!"

Concubine Shu immediately wanted to arrest Concubine Xian. She did not believe that Wen Ning did it. After all, she had watched Meng Liu grow up. How could such a coward have the courage to do such a thing.

"You bitch, you have caused my son to lie half-dead in bed now, and you still want to make excuses, yes! If there is anything wrong with my son, your concubine and the fourth prince will benefit! You are so cruel!"

The two concubines started to fight on the spot, and the maids nearby rushed to persuade them. The two of them made a big fuss, the bun on their heads was messed up, and the red hairpin fell all over the floor. It was a complete mess.

Emperor Xuancheng became angry again, which was simply embarrassing: "Stop it! The matter has not been finalized yet, how can you just make trouble like this? Isn't that embarrassing enough?!"

Concubine Shu burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me! My Qiming is still lying on the bed, and I only have this son. If anything happens to him, how can I survive? "

Emperor Xuancheng's brows did not relax: "This maid's family is here."

A blind widower, a man and a woman were brought over, and the young man among them knelt down and shouted that he was wronged.

"It was the Concubine Xian who arranged for Lingxiang to do this, and none of the other common people knew about it!"

Concubine Xian: "You lied. When did I give her instructions? And you, when did I give you money?"

The woman said: "The Concubine Xian will not come to deliver the money in person. The person who is here should be the personal maid of the Concubine Xian. The maid personally said that the Concubine Xian is the person of the Concubine Xian. The common woman still remembers her appearance!"

Emperor Xuancheng glanced at Jiang Xiangfu and said, "Look, is that maid there that day?"

The woman looked around: "It's her!"

The place he pointed at was the maid serving beside Yan Jingxian, the concubine of Tai'an Hou Mansion.

Yan Jingxian immediately turned pale. She knew that Marquis Tai'an originally wanted to marry Yan Jinglan to the prince. She originally just wanted to lead her sister-in-law to attack the prince. But she didn't know who drugged the third prince, and now the trouble has reached such an extent!

But she didn't arrange for the maid to say that the money was given by the Xian Fei!

The maid plopped down and knelt down. I don't know why this person identified her as Concubine Xian's, but Concubine Xian and Princess Wen Ning could still tell the difference. She was just a maid of an unfavored young lady in the Hou Mansion.

This matter must not be related to her young lady. Her family is still in the hands of Yan Jingxian.

Knowing that her life was over, she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This matter has nothing to do with my young lady."

She paused, looked at Yan Jingxian, hoping that Yan Jingxian would see her face and take more care of her family, and then said resignedly:

"It is the Concubine Xian who is threatening my family to frame the Third Prince! I am willing to die to prove my purpose!"

After saying this, she immediately hit the pillar in the temple and died on the spot.

Yan Jingxian also knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. This maid was arranged for me by Mrs. Tai'anhou. I have always been unhappy. I don't know how she could have listened to the instructions of the Concubine Xian and done such a big mistake." !”

Another person came to frame her. Concubine Xian had a bad look in her eyes. Who was it?

Concubine Shu? Impossible, no matter what she did, she couldn't risk her own son.

Tai'anhou? No hatred or resentment could be blamed on her. She glanced around and stared straight at Meng Liu.

This matter must have been done by Rou Zhaoyi and her daughter! The one the maid identified at first was her!

She hurriedly expressed her loyalty to Emperor Xuancheng: "Your Majesty, this matter was definitely not done by me. I can swear to God that if I did it, I will not die a good death!"

"Don't forget that the maid was sent by Princess Wen Ning in the first place! If my concubine is suspected in this matter, then the princess will not be able to escape her involvement!"

"And this young lady from Marquis Tai'an, how can her maid be driven by others? Could it be that Marquis Tai'an can't even restrain the maids in his own house?"
