When Zhen Huan was not in the palace, An Lingrong was considered to be very favored. How come the emperor changed his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book?

Several guards carried An Lingrong into the main hall. Shen Meimei looked at An Lingrong and saw that she was like a poor little bird, who could only be manipulated by others.

The emperor said coldly:

"An, do you know your crime? Whether it's murdering a concubine or a princess, it's a capital crime. Do you have anything else to say?"

An Lingrong looked up at the emperor sitting on the throne, then turned to look at Shen Meimei. She said softly:

"Sister Mei, please believe me. I didn't mean to hurt you, nor did I mean to hurt Princess Longyue. I was wronged, but Baojuan disappeared after leaving Suiyuxuan, and she hasn't come back yet."

Zhen Huan had already lost her patience with An Lingrong at this time. She stood up and walked to Lingrong's side. Thinking about how Lingrong had been following the Queen all these years and had been the Queen's external minion, how could she not hate her in her heart.

When Zhen Yuandao contracted the plague in prison, Zhen Huan had suspected early on why only her father's cell had rats.

So she stretched out her hand and lifted up An Lingrong's face, and said condescendingly:

"Sister An, when my father was imprisoned, someone released rats infected with the plague into the prison. I wonder if it was you?"

An Lingrong was shocked when she heard this. This matter was done in secret, how could she know about it.

But she remained calm, and An Lingrong smiled slightly and said:

"I don't know!"

When Shen Meimei saw An Lingrong finish saying this, the number above her head changed to zero percent.

As expected, An Lingrong spared no effort in framing Zhen Huan!

Unfortunately, now is not the time for Shen Meimei to judge An Lingrong. On the contrary, she wants to go against the will of heaven.

"Huan'er, this is not the time to settle old scores. The most important thing right now is to find Baojuan, the key figure in this incident!

Let’s start with the food box and see if there is such a food box in the Imperial Household Department. The cakes have been eaten and there is no way to find them, but the plate with the cakes has been given to the people in the harem to identify. As long as there is a clue, we can know who the food box belongs to.”

Shen Meimei suggested.

Zhen Huan nodded. She also knew that she shouldn't just think about venting her anger at this moment, but should find evidence to make the final decision.

Shen Meimei and Zhen Huan were discussing countermeasures when An Lingrong suddenly burst into laughter. She pointed at Meizhuang and said:

"Sister Mei, I know you are sincere to me. I have no intention of harming you. Princess Longyue's affairs have nothing to do with me."

Then she turned and stared at Zhen Huan, with a guilty look on her face:

"Sister Zhen, your peaceful life was ruined by me after all! This life has never been in our hands. This time I want to live for myself."

As An Lingrong spoke, she grabbed an almond and put it into her mouth. She looked at the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, have you ever liked me? I am the best in the palace in singing, embroidery, perfume making and dancing. Unfortunately, Your Majesty has no true feelings for me. I am just a thing for Your Majesty.

When you are happy, play with it for a while, and when you are unhappy, just put it aside!"

The emperor had never heard An Lingrong say these words before. He was shocked, but he savored her words carefully:

"How have I treated you over the years? Everyone in the harem knows about it. You said it wasn't you who did it, so who would frame you?"

An Lingrong sighed:

"Even if I know, I cannot tell you. Your Majesty, I'd better let you investigate it yourself. As long as you investigate it carefully, the truth will come out one day!"

Shen Meimei felt that An Lingrong was talking about something else, and seeing An Lingrong constantly eating, she took a closer look and said in shock:

"Oh no, Concubine An is going to commit suicide!"
