When Doctor Chen heard that it was about Yingcan, he agreed without asking any questions.

"Miss Haitang, just tell me, I will try my best to find a way to do it!"

Seeing how readily Doctor Chen agreed, Haitang couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. If this matter was discovered, Doctor Chen would be implicated.

"However, this matter requires you to take a huge risk... Doctor Chen, are you still willing...?"

Doctor Chen said without hesitation, "I am the doctor in charge of Jingyang Palace. I am so familiar with you all. Isn't it too polite for you to say this to me now? Go ahead."

Haitang looked around to see that there was no one around, so she leaned over to Doctor Chen's ear and quickly told him what had happened.

"This is how things are. The only way now is to make the person who set up the game become the one who is out of it!"

Looking at the complicated expression on Doctor Chen's face after he finished listening, Haitang could understand that even if he was unwilling, after all, who would be willing to risk their life and future career to do such a risky thing!

"It's okay, Doctor Chen. I'll think of another way if it doesn't work!" After saying that, Haitang was about to leave.

Doctor Chen grabbed Haitang's arm and said, "Wait a minute! I was just thinking about how to break the impasse. I will definitely help with this matter. They framed Yingcan without any reason and they should be punished."

"You give me that thing, and I'll figure out the rest."

Haitang looked at Doctor Chen in disbelief. She didn't expect that he could be so reliable at the critical moment. It was worthy of Yingcan's good relationship with him.

The two men walked to a secluded place, and Haitang handed the night pearl wrapped in her sleeve to Doctor Chen. The two men didn't say anything at this moment, but their eyes were very determined.

After saying goodbye to Doctor Chen, Haitang walked quickly towards Jingyang Palace.

Jingyang Palace

As expected, the guards came to look for Yingcan again.

"Miss Yingcan, please come with us!" said the leading guard.

Yingcan naturally refused to give in and said stubbornly, "My room has been searched and there is no trace of it. We have also searched the rooms of other palace maids in our Jingyang Palace, but still can't find it. Why are you taking me away?"

The leading guard sneered, "This is an order from above. It's useless for you to tell us this. Go and say goodbye to your master and leave us, otherwise Concubine Yu will say that we took the person away quietly."

Yingcan said, "I won't tell you! Our queen is still in confinement and can't be provoked! If you insist on taking me away, just take me away, don't go looking for our queen!"

The leading guard said with satisfaction, "Okay, if you are willing to cooperate, that would be even better, but Yupin still has to say something."

Yingcan stood in front of the door and blocked it with both hands, "No! My queen is resting!"

The leading guard pushed Yingcan away and was about to break in.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

A graceful figure appeared. The woman was not wearing any makeup but her face was as white as the morning glow reflected on the snow. She was extremely beautiful in her white dress. Her eyes were clear yet firm. Although she was thin, she had a strong aura.

“Let’s see who dares!”

The leading guard was a little confused when he saw Song Qingwan coming out, and stopped instantly.

"I pay my respects to Madam Yupin. I am just about to report to you that a maid in your palace is suspected of stealing the Night Pearl. She will now be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. I hope Madam Yupin will cooperate."

Song Qingwan said expressionlessly, "My maid just went to the Imperial Household Department to get some cloth, and she is suspected of theft? In my opinion, everyone in the Imperial Household Department is implicated!"

"May I ask whether all the palace servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment?"

The guard opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"This...this servants are currently handling them one by one. All other palace servants who went to the Imperial Household Department that day have been taken there for interrogation. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on them and release them."

When Yingcan saw Song Qingwan coming out in thin clothes, he hurried into the house to pick up his coat and put it on Song Qingwan.

"My lady, you are weak after giving birth, you can't be exposed to the wind, please go in quickly."

Song Qingwan smiled gently at Yingcan, "I'm fine."

Then her expression changed immediately, and she said to the guards, "I will not let you go. How can I allow you to torture my personal maid and force her to confess? Even if the emperor were here, he would never allow this to happen!"

"Leave immediately if you know what's best for you! If you woke up my two children, I will hold you accountable!"

After hearing this, the guards looked at each other in confusion, at a loss as to what to do next.

At this moment, Haitang also came back. Seeing such a big scene and even Song Qingwan came out, she hurried to Song Qingwan's side.

"Commander, what should we do? Should we leave first..." the guard next to him asked the leading guard.

The leading guard felt very embarrassed. If he just left in front of everyone because of Concubine Yu's few words, how could he enter Jingyang Palace later?

"Get out of here!" The leading guard angrily cursed the person next to him.

Then he said to Song Qingwan, "Your Majesty, please let him go, otherwise it will be bad for everyone if the matter gets out of hand. I am just following your orders."

Song Qingwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Whose orders? Who is being bad to?"

The leading guard said confidently, "I am following the orders of Concubine Qing to find the whereabouts of the Night Pearl and catch the person who stole it."

Song Qingwan pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh~ It turned out to be Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing has always been an easy-going person. She will definitely not embarrass me. She and the people around me will definitely believe that Yingcan is innocent. You can go back and report!"

The leading guard couldn't help but twitch his mouth after hearing this. Concubine Yu was really a sharp-tongued person. No wonder Concubine Ru tried every means to get rid of her.

"…Yes, I will convey your words to Concubine Qing word for word. If Concubine Qing issues an order to arrest Miss Yingcan, please do not make excuses, Concubine Yu."

Song Qingwan did not answer him, but said to Xiao Zhongzi, "Xiao Zhongzi, show the guest away!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhongzi said to the guard, "Sir, please come this way~"
