An Lingrong told him everything she had been involved in. She heaved a long sigh of relief and continued:

"Today I have told you everything I know, hoping that Your Majesty will order me to die. Although I was forced to do this, I am still guilty after all."

"Your Majesty, my first child is too innocent. It's the Queen. Please make the decision for me!" Zhen Huan said, standing up and kneeling, begging the Emperor to make the decision.

Concubine Jing also stood up and knelt down to second the proposal:

"Your Majesty, please reorganize the harem and give Concubine Xi justice."

Shen Meimei produced evidence that Baojuan had been to Jingren Palace before being poisoned, and whispered to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, this is the witness' testimony. Baojuan was poisoned and pushed into the well. The poison is extremely rare and can kill instantly upon contact with blood. It is impossible for an ordinary palace maid to have such a precious poison."

All the evidence pointed to the Queen, and coupled with the fact that she had recently instigated Guaerjia Wenyuan to slander Zhen Huan, the Emperor could no longer tolerate it.

He looked at Su Peisheng and said coldly:

"Let's go to Jingren Palace. An is confined to Yanxi Palace. No one is allowed to approach without my order. An, this will be your cold palace from now on. I will not kill you, nor will I see you again!"

When Shen Meimei heard what the emperor said, she felt annoyed. It was over, completely over. Now that An Lingrong was disliked by the emperor, wouldn't she lose even more confidence?

She felt that she was bound to fail in this mission. She felt upset as she was going to turn from a slim beauty into a fat woman.

A group of people followed the emperor and came to Jingren Palace in a grand manner. The queen had already received the news, and she seemed very calm at this moment.

Huichun had already quietly slipped out through the back door, preparing to invite the Empress Dowager over.

Zhen Huan was well prepared, she knew that the Queen Mother in the palace was the Queen's biggest supporter. The Queen Mother was seriously ill, so she took advantage of this opportunity to deal with the Queen to avoid any more trouble.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, he said to the queen with a cold face:

"What else do you have to say? An has confessed everything. You were the one who ordered all of this, except for the one that framed Concubine Xi.

Many of the children in the harem were caused by you. Noble Lady Fucha had a miscarriage, Noble Lady Fang had a miscarriage, Noble Concubine Xi had a miscarriage, and Noble Lady Ning had a sterilization soup. They were all caused by you.

You are the queen, you should be the mother of the country, but you are not worthy of being a human being!

"Over the years, I have respected you because you are Chun Yuan's biological sister, but what about you? You almost made me childless!"

The emperor became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up, walked to the queen, and stretched out his foot to kick her, but in the end he did not kick her.

The emperor's next words made the queen feel even more ashamed. He said:

"I don't want to kick you, for fear that you will dirty the soles of my shoes!"

Shen Meimei was terrified. It was her first time experiencing the emperor's wrath, and it was even more terrifying than what was shown in TV dramas.

At first the queen was still kneeling, but when she saw the emperor being so heartless, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and then she laughed out loud towards the sky.

"Your Majesty, I married you as your concubine when I was fourteen, and it has been thirty years now. Now that I am old and ugly, you are no longer willing to look at me.

My sister has only been with you for three years, but you have been thinking about me for thirty years. What am I? I love you, protect you, and help you, but what about you?

After my sister died, you favored Nian Shilan, and after Nian Shilan died, you favored Zhen Huan. Why should they compete with me?

I am the only one in the entire harem who loves you the most, Your Majesty, and I am also the only one who is the queen!"

The queen sat on the ground, crying her eyes out.

Zhen Huan was worried that the emperor would be soft-hearted, so she immediately added:

"Your Majesty, the Queen may really love you, but because of this heavy love, she almost harmed the entire harem. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"
