Everyone followed Xiao Rui's gaze and saw Su Xin kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Concubine Shen once promised Su Xin that if she gave false testimony, then no matter what happened or how the emperor blamed her, she would have to save her life.

At this time, Concubine Shen said, "Your Majesty, although Su Xin was also involved in this matter, fortunately, she bravely identified Zhang Da Ying for the sake of justice. This can be regarded as making up for her mistakes."

Concubine Lan doesn't understand Concubine Shen's move. She might as well kill them all and put an end to it all.

"Mrs. Shen is so confused! How dare you keep such a person? Aren't you afraid that he will collude with the tyrant and help him to do evil in the future?" Princess Lan reminded her.

When Su Xin heard that Concubine Lan also wanted to kill her, she immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Madam Concubine Lan, please spare my life... I had no choice but to do this!"

The Queen looked at Xiao Rui, "Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Xiao Rui was thinking about something. He suddenly walked up to Su Xin and pinched her face. The atmosphere was very solemn.

"She is quite pretty." Xiao Rui said

Concubine Lan was shocked after seeing this. She didn't understand what the emperor was up to. At this time, the emperor still had the mind to appreciate the beauty of the palace maids.

Su Xin said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Rui smiled coldly, "I am grateful to you for standing up at the critical moment, being impartial and clear about gratitude and resentment, so I will promote you to be an official woman."

Su Xin was overjoyed after hearing this. "I, your servant, thank you, Your Majesty! I, your servant, thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Everyone present, except Song Qingwan, was stunned. A mere maidservant was suddenly promoted to an official lady.

After hearing this, the Queen also thought it was absurd and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice. The maid has done a great job, so just give her a good job. Why do you need to..."

"Queen, there is no need to say more. I have already made my decision." Xiao Rui interrupted the Queen.

Seeing that it was useless for the queen to say anything, the others looked at each other and dared not to persuade them anymore.

Su Xin didn't expect that the emperor would protect her so much and not give the queen any face. He openly scolded the queen. She felt so happy~

"As for the remaining midwives, they didn't find any flaws when they were delivering the baby with Mrs. Zhang. Execute them all!" Xiao Rui said sternly.

Xiao Rui suddenly spoke, frightening Su Xin

"Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Eunuch Xiao Pengzi and palace maid Xiao Yu have made contributions and have both been promoted to the first rank."

"Your servant thanks His Majesty" The two people thanked him in unison.

This should have ended here.

Concubine Lan still refused to give in. "Your Majesty, this happened in the Yanxi Palace, but Concubine Qing didn't know anything about it! You should punish her for lax management, Your Majesty."

Xiao Rui looked at Concubine Qing. He thought she would beg for mercy, but she was still as stubborn as ever. "Your Majesty, please punish me if you want. I have no complaints!"

When Xiao Rui saw Concubine Qing's look, he was furious. "You! Concubine Qing, don't think I dare not touch you!"

Concubine Lan saw this with a gloating look. This Concubine Qing is still the same as before, stubborn and obstinate. She really deserves to be with the emperor the longest, but she is still just a concubine.

Even though Concubine Qing saw that Xiao Rui was angry, she did not back down. Why did he always blame her when others got into trouble? And why could he punish her every time anyone said a few words?

"Princess Qing, go back to your Yanxi Palace!" Xiao Rui was angry, but considering their friendship over the years, he did not punish her substantially.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to tell me to leave. I will leave on my own." After saying this, Concubine Qing left Jiahe Palace without looking back.

Seeing that the emperor favored Concubine Qing so much, Concubine Lan said unhappily, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qing often contradicts you, you really should be punished..."

"Everyone, please leave. I want to accompany Concubine Ru." Xiao Rui said

"Yes, I will take my leave." Everyone left one after another

Yufangzhai

Haitang said thankfully, "My dear! Thanks to your cleverness, otherwise we would be in big trouble!"

Song Qingwan said, "Concubine Lan has framed me many times. When I have the chance, I will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Haitang said in panic, "My lady, are you crazy? That's Concubine Lan, how dare you..."

Song Qingwan asked back, "Why? Can I only allow others to harm me and not give tit for tat?"

Haitang explained, "My lady! That's not what I meant. I'm afraid that Concubine Lan is in such a high position that she can cover up everything with one hand. My lady, will you..."

"Okay, stop saying unlucky things. I won't." Song Qingwan didn't let Haitang continue.

Haitang suddenly remembered something and asked, "My lady, what do you think the emperor is thinking? Why did he want to make Suxin an official lady?"

Song Qingwan smiled and said, "Because...the power of heaven is unpredictable!"

Not only Haitang had this question, almost everyone started discussing this matter. No one could understand why Suxin was not punished but was rewarded instead!
