Although Yi Xin was happy, she still remembered that the plan had not been completed.

"The Queen Mother will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. You can make arrangements for Baojuan now."

As expected, the Empress Dowager ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to investigate the source of the lime. They found out that only one person had recently prescribed medicine containing lime, and that person was An Lingrong.

An Lingrong and Yi Xin lived in the same palace, so the Queen Mother naturally suspected Yi Xin.

However, in order to prevent Yinzhen from thinking that she was targeting Yi Xin, she ordered a thorough investigation of the entire palace.

Finally, a bag of lime was found at An Lingrong's place in the rear hall of the Yanxi Palace.

The Queen Mother believed that the Queen and An Lingrong had no grudges. Yi Xin was the only one in the entire Yanxi Palace who had a grudge against the Queen, so Yi Xin must be the mastermind behind the murder of the Queen by An Lingrong.

The Queen Mother wanted to punish Yi Xin, but was afraid that Yin Zhen would stop her.

So all the concubines were called to Shoukang Palace, and Yinzhen was also invited.

She thought that Yinzhen would never protect Yi Xin again in front of everyone.

But ever since she started interrogating An Lingrong, An Lingrong has been denying it.

Why would An Lingrong admit to something she hadn't done? Not only did she not admit it, she also made excuses for herself.

But at this time Baojuan stood up and testified against An Lingrong, saying that An Lingrong resented the Queen for reminding Yinzhen to turn over the cards, so she was afraid of being sent back and became a joke in the palace, so she secretly put her hands in the Queen's scar-removing glue.

Baojuan's words made sense. An Lingrong thought about the times she had kicked him and a look of guilt appeared on her face. The Empress Dowager and Yinzhen saw it clearly.

Therefore, they determined that the murderer was An Lingrong, but the Queen Mother looked at Yi Xin and asked, "An, did anyone instruct you to do this?"

An Lingrong insisted that it was not her.

Yi Xin blinked her eyes and asked clearly, "What is the Empress Dowager looking at me for?"

Queen Mother: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Yinzhen cleared his throat and said, "Why are you here with such a big belly? Go back quickly."

Yi Xin shook her head like a broken wave drum, "I want to stay and accompany you sisters."

Yinzhen looked at her bright eyes and knew that she just wanted to watch the fun and was reluctant to go back, so he didn't bother to say anything more.

Because of Yi Xin's interruption, the case ended in a whimper.

However, everyone present could tell from her performance that it was not An Lingrong who was instructed by Yi Xin.

Of course, there are reasons why Yi Xin is calm and confident about this.

Yi Xin also felt that she was innocent, she really did not instigate An Lingrong.

Because the murderer is Yi Xin, she is the mastermind, and she was the one who framed An Lingrong, and then asked Xiao Linzi and others to deliberately guide Baojuan to discover clues.

This is how what happened today happened.

Although An Lingrong refused to admit it, Yinzhen and the Queen Mother had already determined that it was her who did it, so they ordered An Lingrong to be executed and her entire family to be exiled to Ningguta.

After hearing what happened to her family, An Lingrong became furious. She wanted to throw Yi Xin into the water and make her her scapegoat.

But at this moment, Yi Xin raised her hand and turned her wrist, and on that snow-white wrist was a gold and jade bracelet.

An Lingrong recognized it at a glance. It was her mother's dowry, something her mother wore every day.

She suddenly realized that it was all because of Yi Xin that she was in this predicament.

Yi Xin was seen touching the peace locket on her chest with the hand wearing the bracelet.

An Lingrong immediately understood that Yi Xin was saying that she would keep her mother safe.

For the sake of her mother, An Lingrong had no choice but to grit her teeth and admit it.

Even though she admitted it, she couldn't let that vicious queen have an easy time.

So she said, "Yes, I admit that I did it. But does Your Majesty know what that vicious woman, the Queen, did?"

The Queen Mother's pupils suddenly tightened and she wanted to stop him, but Yinzhen had already asked, "You say."

"On the 16th day of the first lunar month, you turned over my name card, and the flower shop sent me a pot of golden calendula. At that time, I thought the flower shop was trying to please me. But after I went to the Yangxin Palace, I couldn't help shaking all over, and you eventually sent me back. At that time, all the concubines and servants in the palace laughed at me behind my back. I just thought I was timid and afraid of things, so I missed a good opportunity."

An Lingrong instantly brought everyone's memories back to that time.

Indeed, many of them were secretly laughing at An Lingrong at that time.

But, isn’t this the reason why An Lingrong is afraid of trouble?

This is a common question in everyone's mind.

Then An Lingrong said, "But later when I passed by the flower room, I heard the eunuchs talking inside and I learned that the Jade Platform Golden Cup is also known as Narcissus. It looks beautiful and has a pleasant fragrance. But there is one bad thing, that is, it is poisonous. If you accidentally eat or drink something with the juice of the Jade Platform Golden Cup, you will tremble all over at the least, and vomit and have diarrhea at the worst. I realized then that I was tricked by others."

"But I know that I have no favor and no enemies. Even Concubine Hua is too lazy to plot against me."

Hua Fei was listening to the excitement when she heard the other party mention her. She immediately became unhappy and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Concubine Cao. She then rolled her eyes and listened to An Lingrong continue talking.

"Later, I discovered that Baojuan, who was assigned to my side after entering the palace, always told me how kind and merciful the Queen was, and repeatedly urged me to seek refuge with her."

An Lingrong looked at Yinzhen with a sad smile, her whole face covered with traces of tears.

"I now understand that the Empress wanted me to fall into the mud first, and then let Baojuan persuade me, forcing me to go to her. Your Majesty, I heard that it was the Empress who suggested you turn over my card that day. It's really a good plan. Others would first hit them with a stick and then give them a sweet date. The Empress is different and does the opposite. Why did the Empress have to make such a calculation for a small promise from me?"

"What's wrong with me avenging myself?!"

In fact, Yinzhen didn't even need to send anyone to investigate. Just by looking at Baojuan's guilty look, he knew that An Lingrong was not lying.

Everything has a cause and an effect.

Yinzhen sighed and that was it.

"I promised Anshi to be executed. His father was not worthy of his position, so he was demoted to a commoner."

Yinzhen waved his hands impatiently, "Let's all go."

Just two days after An Lingrong's death, Zhen Huan also died.

In the end, Zhen Huan was buried as a noble lady and entered the concubine's tomb.

It is said that when she died, she was so thin that only a bag of bones was left.

Yi Xin personally went to burn a stick of incense for Zhen Huan, wishing her a smooth reincarnation in the underworld of this small world.

Cui Jinxi, who was by Zhen Huan's side, was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be the aunt in charge of training the palace maids.

Liuzhu also followed her and was considered her apprentice.

Huanbi chose to stay with Shen Meizhuang.

At this point, two of the original owner's three enemies had been eliminated.

The remaining queen was also disfigured and had her eyes injured. Her face was exposed again by An Lingrong. On the surface, she announced that she would close the palace and see no one, but in fact, the emperor ordered her to be confined to her home.

Therefore, there was no need to pay respects later.
