The palace maid was so frightened that she trembled hard and said tremblingly: "My slave... I didn't lie. When I bought the medicine, the man only said it was poison, so I thought it was a drug that can kill people."

"Who did you buy the medicine from?"

"Slave... I don't know that man."

The emperor saw that her eyes were wandering all the time, and it was obvious that what she was telling was not the truth. "Come here, take her down and interrogate her carefully. I want to hear her truth."

"Yes", the guard grabbed the palace maid's arm and walked out.

The emperor did not wait for a long time, and the guard came to report, "Your Majesty, she did it. She said that Concubine Su asked her to poison her, and she just wanted to torture Empress Shui."

The emperor was extremely angry and walked out angrily, "Go and see my good concubine."

Eunuch Zhang asked the guards to take the maid to follow the emperor and go to Concubine Su's palace.

All the concubines in the harem were well-informed people. They knew that something happened in Shuimiao Palace and were waiting for the follow-up development. When they learned that the emperor's people were taking a maid to the direction of Su Guifei's palace, they were all shocked and couldn't help it. I have to guess, could it be that Su Lingyue asked someone to cause trouble for Shui Miao? Was he even caught by the emperor? Heck, if that's the case, that's a good thing for them.

In Concubine Su's palace, Xueer hurriedly went to Concubine Su, "Mother, it's not good. Your Majesty has brought Qiao'er here. This servant saw that Qiao'er was beaten and bruised all over, and she has obviously been interrogated."

Su Lingyue looked serious, "What's going on? What did that bitch do?"

Xue'er shook her head, "I don't know, but your majesty came here directly from the Shui Concubine Palace. Madam, will someone frame you?"

She knew that the empress had not done anything to Shui Concubine during this period, but Qiaoer was indeed from their palace.

Su Lingyue clenched her hands into fists and smashed them on the table, "Damn it, someone dares to plot against me."

"Do you know that Qiao'er?"

Dong'er shook her head. She had only been in the palace for a short time and didn't know much about these things. However, Xue'er also shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this, either. She is usually very low-key and has no sense of presence."

At this time, a little palace maid ran in in a panic, forgetting to even salute, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here with his guards."

There was a coldness on Su Lingyue's lips, she stood up and straightened her hair casually, "Let's go, I want to see who is so bold."

Walking out of the palace and meeting the emperor head-on, Su Lingyue bowed and saluted, "I have met your Majesty."

There was a slight smile on the emperor's face: "My beloved concubine is exempt from the gift. I came here this time to ask my beloved concubine something. Do you know this person?"

After the emperor finished speaking, the guards took Na Qiao'er forward and came to Concubine Su.

Eunuch Zhang signaled with his eyes to a young eunuch who was following him, asking him to bring a chair and prepare tea.

Su Lingyue looked at Qiao'er with a cold light in her eyes, "Your Majesty, this person is Qiao'er, the maid in my concubine's palace."

There is no point in denying it. Since the emperor brought someone here, he already knew about Qiaoer.

"Then do you know what this palace maid did?" The emperor sat on the chair prepared by the palace servants, took a sip of tea, and asked in a calm tone.

Su Lingyue glanced at Qiao'er with sharp eyes and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I have done. Your Majesty, if this wretched servant has done anything daring, please punish me severely."

Su Lingyue spoke in an awe-inspiring manner, making it clear that it was the palace maid's idea alone and had nothing to do with her.
