The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

The emperor heard Fang Chunyi yelling outside the palace. Especially when he heard her falsely accusing Nian Shilan, the emperor was so angry that he stood up, waved his sleeves and walked into the main hall.

When Fang Chunyi was yelling like a shrew, she suddenly saw the emperor coming in. She swallowed the words in her throat, and sat on the couch in a daze for a long time before she cried, "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for me and our child."

The emperor looked at Fang Chunyi with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and his tone was very cold. He asked, "How should I decide for you?"

Fang Chunyi was a little surprised when she heard the emperor's cold words, with tears on her cheeks. "Your Majesty, I ate the food prepared for me by the imperial concubine's maids, and I had a miscarriage. Your Majesty, shouldn't you hold them accountable?"

The emperor sneered, "Chun Changzai, are you sure that the meal today was prepared for you by the Imperial Concubine's maid?"

Fang Chunyi hesitated at this time and said, "Isn't it?"

Fang Chunyi thought that since she had eaten all the food, there would be no evidence, and then she cried and asked, "Could it be that the emperor wants to protect the imperial concubine? She is so cruel and ruthless that she killed our child."

The emperor looked at Fang Chunyi, and for a moment he seemed to be unable to see her clearly. He said absentmindedly, "I still remember when you first came to serve me, you were so innocent. How could you be yelling here like a crazy shrew now?"

Fang Chunyi was choked by the emperor's words, and then her eyes turned red again. She looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I just lost my child. Instead of punishing the real culprit behind the scenes, you are questioning me here? You said that I was like a shrew who had lost her mind?"

"How dare you! Is this the right thing to do when you talk to me? Concubine Chun, have I been too indulgent to you in the past and made you lose your status?" The emperor's furious voice echoed in the main hall of Changle Palace for a long time. At this time, the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall knelt on the ground. Fearing that the emperor's anger would spread to them, everyone was trembling for a while, not daring to breathe.

Fang Chunyi was so frightened by the emperor's anger that she sat on the couch in a daze. She even forgot to cry for a moment. She just stared at the emperor in a daze, with some disappointment and disbelief on her face.

The emperor tried to calm down before speaking: "The food you had today was prepared by your former personal maid Ling'er. I have ordered someone to bring Ling'er here for a face-to-face confrontation."

When Fang Chunyi heard the emperor talking about Ling'er, she panicked for a moment. She didn't know what link the emperor had found out, so she managed to calm down and said with tears in her eyes: "Ling'er? She is my maid who came with my dowry. I have always treated her so well. How could she be so vicious and take my child's life!"

After Fang Chunyi finished speaking, she sobbed softly, with some disbelief and pain of betrayal on her face. Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't help but soften his heart a little.

At this time, Su Peisheng escorted Ling'er into the main hall. The moment Ling'er saw Fang Chunyi, she cried out, "My lady, how are you? I wanted to come in to see you, but Aunt Lingzhi from Changle Palace wouldn't let me in. I'm so worried about you, my lady."

Fang Chunyi was lying on the couch looking at Ling'er crying. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. He just turned his head towards the emperor with a dull look in his eyes.

The emperor sighed upon seeing this, looked at Ling'er and asked, "Let me ask you, did you prepare the food for Concubine Chun today?"

Ling Er kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I did prepare it. But I have served you since I was a child, and I would never do anything to hurt you! Your Majesty, please understand."

The emperor's eyes were sharp. "Then why did Concubine Chun have a miscarriage? The imperial physician said that she took an abortion drug by mistake."

Ling'er was trembling all over. "Your Majesty, I really don't know! I have always been responsible for the young lady's diet, and I would never do anything like that... Maybe someone deliberately framed me!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "Who would frame a slave like you who is not with the master?"

Ling Er blurted out, "The Imperial Concubine has always been somewhat dissatisfied with Concubine Chun. My little master is simple-minded and always likes to come to Changle Palace to accompany the Imperial Concubine. But the Imperial Concubine not only doesn't appreciate it, but is also always so stingy that she doesn't even give my little master tea to drink. Now that my little master is pregnant, in Changle Palace, the Imperial Concubine is so omnipotent that she can do anything to take the life of my little master's child."

The emperor was very angry when he heard Ling'er's words. He stared at Ling'er with red eyes and shouted, "How dare you! Who gave you the courage to criticize the imperial concubine?"

At this time, Lingzhi knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with some indignation on her face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my death! Since Ling'er mentioned the Imperial Concubine, I also have a few words to say."

The emperor looked at Lingzhi kneeling upright on the ground, with the same pride and disdain on his face as when he was with Shilan in the palace. He was a little absent-minded for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "You say."

Although Lingzhi was kneeling, she stood straight, "Your Majesty, Ling'er kept saying that the Imperial Noble Consort was dissatisfied with Chun Changzai. The first time Chun Changzai came to Changle Palace, I went into the palace to tell her, but Chun Changzai ignored the rules and ran into the main hall of Changle Palace without waiting for the Imperial Noble Consort's consent. Chun Changzai also always said something inappropriate to my queen about sleeping with her. My queen never argued with her because of Chun Changzai's young age. As for the fact that my queen didn't even give Chun Changzai a sip of tea, it was because Changle Palace was not peaceful a few days ago. My queen was worried that Chun Changzai would be tricked by others, so she was very angry. "As for the rumor that my queen wanted to murder Chun Changzai's heir, it is even more absurd. Since my queen gave Changle Palace to Chun Changzai to live in, she has always asked me to take good care of Chun Changzai and take care of her dragon fetus. All the food was prepared for Chun Changzai strictly according to the instructions of the imperial physician. It's just that Chun Changzai may not think it's delicious and didn't eat it. It was also for Chun Changzai's health that I had to let Ling'er prepare food for her. Who would have thought that it would lead to such a disaster today? If the emperor doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician and the palace maids of Changle Palace whether there is any falsehood in what I said."

After hearing Lingzhi's words, the emperor turned to look at Fang Chunyi, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Chun Changzai, you should take a good rest first. As for Ling'er, stay in the palace for the time being and wait for your fate."

When Chun Changzai saw the emperor's expression, she knew that he believed Lingzhi's words, and she was a little flustered for a moment.
