"Cheng'er, come with me to report to the emperor!" Rupin took Cheng'er and walked out.

"Your Majesty, your belly is getting bigger, please don't disturb the fetus. I'll bring you a sedan chair!" Cheng'er said

Then, Rupin rode in a sedan chair and came to the Yangxin Palace at full speed. At this time, Xiao Rui was discussing matters with ministers inside. Rupin walked back and forth outside the palace anxiously.

Finally, the minister inside came out and the emperor sent her in.

"Your Majesty, please save me! Someone wants to harm me and your child!" Rupin cried with tears and snot.

Xiao Rui helped Concubine Ru up

"What's wrong, Ru'er? Tell me slowly. Why would someone want to harm you?" Xiao Rui asked in confusion.

"Cheng'er, bring it up!" Rupin said to Cheng'er.

Cheng Er presented the poisoned cakes and the silver needles that changed color to the emperor. Xiao Rui was stunned after seeing them.

"How dare you! Who did this!" Xiao Rui said

"Your Majesty, it was a young palace maid who came to my palace in a hurry to deliver cakes. I saw that she looked strange, so I asked the palace maid to take a silver needle to test it, and it was indeed poisonous." Rupin said

"Is the maid still here?" Xiao Rui looked at Cheng'er beside him.

"Your Majesty, the maid has committed suicide out of fear of punishment!" Cheng Er replied.

"But that palace maid said that our queen's child was blocking the way for her master's child, so she wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible!" Cheng'er continued indignantly.

"Cheng'er, stop talking, wuwu..." Rupin cried in Xiao Rui's arms.

Xiao Rui patted Rupin's back soothingly.

"It's okay, Ru'er, it's okay. I will definitely give you justice! I will send you an imperial physician, and from now on, all your meals must be examined by the imperial physician before you can eat them."

"Also, can I give you some of the newly-tributed brocade from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Rupin hid in Xiao Rui's arms and sobbed, "Well! I'm glad that the emperor is thinking about me."

It soon became known that someone had poisoned Concubine Ru's food.

Fenghua Palace

Beatrice asked, "Queen, but in this case, will Concubine Ru also suspect that it was you who did it?"

The queen smiled and said, "I am the head of the harem, second only to the emperor and above all others, and I have a legitimate son. How can a bastard son born to a concubine like her block the path of my child?"

Beatrice said, "Yes, maybe. Not only will Concubine Ru and Concubine Lan have a rift, but even the emperor will have a grudge against Concubine Lan!"

The Queen smiled with a dagger hidden in her heart, "This is the effect I want!"

Not long after, Lan Fei also heard about this

Concubine Lan thought without hesitation that it must have been done by the Queen. After all, she was now on good terms with Concubine Ru, and the Queen was very dissatisfied, so she resorted to this desperate measure.

Poison Rupin or her child to death, leaving her without support, and making her one less arm. The Queen's legitimate son will be made the Crown Prince, which will give him an extra layer of success.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lan came to Jiahe Palace and planned to tell Concubine Ru about her analysis of the Queen's plan.

When Concubine Lan arrived at Jiahe Palace, the people in the palace looked at her strangely. She didn't know if it was her illusion or the truth.

"My Lady, Concubine Lan is here" Cheng Er Tong reported

"Ah, what is she doing here again!" Rupin subconsciously held her belly.

"Sister, I came to see you. I heard someone poisoned you!" Lan Fei said as she walked.

"Yes, I don't know who did it. The emperor is investigating! He will definitely not let that bitch go!" Rupin said the last sentence with a stronger tone.

I want to scare Concubine Lan and make her feel guilty.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan said, "I heard that the maid committed suicide out of fear of punishment. All the clues are gone! What else is there to investigate?"

Rupin secretly exchanged glances with the palace maid Cheng'er, which strengthened her certainty.

Concubine Lan continued, "In my opinion, it was definitely the Queen's doing! She didn't want you, my sister, to give birth to a prince, which would add another threat to her son's position as the crown prince!"

The firm tone of Concubine Lan's words made Concubine Ru even more certain that she was the one who did it and was just trying hard to clear herself.
