After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

The emperor opened his eyes in disgust, and spoke in a heavy and slow voice, "Lady Qi, the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess were poisoned, was it you who did it?"

Concubine Qi seemed a little scared, but she always felt that she was no worse than Zhen Huan and could not lose in front of her. She knelt in front of the emperor with her back straight and her head held high.

"It was done by me. These useless people can't even do such a small thing."

The emperor coughed lightly, slowly stood up and walked to Guarjia, stared at her for a long time with his head tilted, and roared: "You vicious woman!"

Then she raised her hand and a "snap" sound resounded throughout the hall. "Guaerjia, you are a concubine, but you are narrow-minded and jealous, causing troubles repeatedly. Now you have even extended your hands to my children. I think you are tired of living."

Concubine Qi covered her face with one hand, fell to her knees and shouted, "Your Majesty, you trust a lowly woman instead of those who are loyal to you. If it weren't for the cunningness of the traitor, how could I have come up with such a plan?

Your Majesty, all I have done is to eliminate those who have evil intentions around you, Your Majesty!"

There was a hint of pleading and unyielding in her voice.

"You keep saying you are doing this for me, but you are actually poisoning my children. I think you are a snake with a heart of sin and I don't want to waste any more words with you.

Su Peisheng, the remaining heir of the Guarjia clan, is sentenced to death! Why don't you drag him to a place where I can't see him?"

At this time, Zhen Huan suddenly spoke up. She looked at the emperor with an aggrieved and hurt look and said, "Your Majesty, I think that although Concubine Qi hates me, she may not be able to come up with such a cruel method on her own. Please allow me to ask her a few questions."

Just as he finished speaking, Su Peisheng came to report that Zhang Tingyu and several other officials wanted to see the emperor. The emperor nodded lazily, stood up, strode forward, left after saying "you can do whatever you want" and left.

"Lady Qi, if you are willing to tell me who ordered you to do this today, I may ask the emperor to forgive you a little because you repented in time."

Lady Qi sneered, staring at her with eyes as if filled with poison, "Tell you? What I regret most at this moment is that I underestimated you in the past. Don't you want to know who ordered me to do this? I tell you, no one ordered me to do this. I just wanted to take back the favor and everything that belongs to me!"

Zhen Huan walked up to her with a soft smile, "Really? The crime you have committed now is not something you can atonce for with your life. The murder of the royal heir is enough to get the entire Guaerjia clan executed. You are about to die, do you still want to protect the person behind you?

How do you think I found out so quickly that my child with Mei Jie was poisoned? Do you think that person really wanted to help you wholeheartedly?

Then I tell you, everything you did was planned by the person behind you. If it succeeds, she will reap the benefits. If it fails, she will push you out as a scapegoat, and your family will also be implicated.

I heard that your elder brother Guaerjia Wenhan has made great achievements recently and has a good chance of becoming a rising star in the dynasty. You don't want to not only fail to bring glory to the family, but also ruin the future of your father and brother, do you?

You still refuse to tell me who she is. Are you waiting for her to avenge you after you die? But if she is so capable, why would she join forces with you? "

Guarjia Wenyuan shook her head, "No, no, Zhen Huan, you bitch, are you still trying to sow discord at this time?"

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Huanbi glanced at the red agate necklace she wore every day. She helped Zhen Huan sit down and then slowly came to Concubine Qi, sniffed carefully, and asked:

"Does Lady Qi know what this is?"

Guarjia Wenyuan didn't understand why Huanbi asked this, so she ignored her.

Huanbi smiled and said, "Doctor Wen, please take a look at what Concubine Qi is wearing around her neck."

Wen Shichu stepped forward, but was avoided by Concubine Qi. Two eunuchs restrained her wrists to make her calm down.

Wen Shichu only sniffed twice and his face changed. He said to Concubine Qi in shock: "My lady, the red musk beads you wear around your neck are extremely powerful medicinal beads."

"What? This is impossible. This is clearly the red agate necklace given to me by the Empress. Wen Shichu, don't think I don't know that you can say anything to please that bitch Zhen Huan!

Zhen Huan, do you think you and Wen Shichu can deceive me together? I'm not that stupid! "

Zhen Huan originally had some doubts about this, but since this matter had nothing to do with her, she was too lazy to pay attention to it. Since Concubine Qi didn't believe it, she would find someone to convince her.

"Xiao Yunzi, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite the two doctors on duty today. It doesn't matter who they are, as long as they have excellent medical skills."

Xiao Yunzi took the order and went out quickly.

The palace was silent. The more Concubine Qi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. No wonder she had been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, but had never been pregnant, not even the slightest sign of pregnancy.

She had been living a life of luxury since childhood, and her body was taken care of by a special court physician, so it was not impossible that she could not conceive. Could there really be something wrong with this string of red agate?

After a while, two imperial doctors came over.

Huanbi ordered them to carefully examine the beads on Concubine Qi's neck. The two smelled it, took out another one and burned it on the fire. They fanned it carefully and smelled it a few times, then hurriedly put the beads on the plate and replied:

"My Lord, this thing is made of musk from the high mountains of Qinghai. It is just coated with a layer of spices and looks like agate. It would not be discovered unless someone knows medical skills."

The imperial physician did not understand what was happening in the palace, and he just said whatever he saw.

Zhen Huan nodded, "I understand. I'll trouble the two imperial doctors to make this trip. Xiao Yunzi, please escort them out properly."

After the people left, Zhen Huan fiddled with the tea lid from time to time. When Concubine Qi could no longer kneel and sat on the ground, she slowly spoke:

“Lady Qi, if you had a son or daughter, even if you committed a heinous crime, the emperor would consider the friendship between the prince and princess and would not bring trouble to your mother’s family. Otherwise, your child would become a criminal.

You could have had a child, but now you don't, all because of this thing. Wearing this thing for a long time will damage your skin. I'm afraid that even if the emperor is willing to forgive you, you will never have your own child in the future. It's up to you whether you want to tell me or not. I have nothing to say to you anymore!"

Zhen Huan gently rubbed the red beads with her fingers. The originally beautiful bead string now looked shocking.

Guaerjia Wenyuan knelt on the ground and gasped for breath. She knew that the Queen joined forces with her not because she liked her, but to overthrow Zhen Huan together. She didn't mind being used, but she didn't expect that the Queen would be on guard against her as soon as she entered the palace.

Although she hated Zhen Huan, what she said made sense.

She shook her head and took a deep breath, "Zhen Huan, if I tell you the mastermind behind this, can you guarantee that my family will not be implicated by me?"
