Jianqiu looked up at Concubine Ning and said coldly:

"Okay, go ahead and search me. Even though I'm a slave, I won't admit to anything I haven't done!"

The emperor nodded slightly to show his agreement, and at this time Huanbi came out from the back hall in a hurry, shouting anxiously:

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi, something bad has happened. I'm afraid Concubine Xian is dying! Imperial Doctor Wen asked me to come out and report this to you."

The emperor heard this and said impatiently:

"Su Peisheng, hurry up and search me according to Lady Ning's instructions. I will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Peisheng and several palace maids searched Jianqiu's body and finally found the red-crowned crane poison in the cracks of Jianqiu's fingernails.

It was then that Jianqiu suddenly realized what was going on. She had gone to the Internal Affairs Department to get something and happened to meet a palace maid who was delivering soup. She went forward to ask her and her finger happened to touch the lid of the food box.

The poison in her fingernails was left there at that time. By the time Jianqiu realized what was happening, she had already been controlled.

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with a worried look on her face, and said in a tearful voice:

"Your Majesty, please help me and the Sixth Prince. If it weren't for the virtuous wife, I and the Sixth Prince would have died today!"

Zhen Huan knelt on the ground as she spoke, and then the other concubines followed suit and knelt down.

"I am terrified. Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the murderer!"

Jianqiu was speechless. She was pinned to the ground, and she kept saying:

"It's not me, I didn't poison you, Concubine Xi, aren't you afraid of retribution? Concubine Xi, you will die a miserable death! Bitch, Concubine Xi, you bitch!

Your Majesty, why don’t you believe in the Empress? She is sincere to you! She is your wife, the Empress of the Qing Dynasty! "

Before Jianqiu could finish her words, she was dragged away.

The emperor helped Zhen Huan up and said softly:

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation! Su Peisheng and Jianqiu don't need to be tried again, take them out and beat them to death immediately! As for Jingren Palace, I will deal with it myself!"

The concubines shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

In the back hall, Meng Jingxian was already dying. She held Prince Guo's hand and said word by word:

"My Lord, have you ever liked me? I was the one who let you down. I got you drunk that day and that's why we got a child."

Prince Guo only realized at this moment that he had been attracted to the woman in front of him without realizing it. He said with tears in his eyes:

"Jingxian, don't let your imagination run wild. Just give birth to the baby. I will treat you well in the future, and we will live a good life in the future."

Huanbi was standing nearby, and saw Prince Guo and Meng Jingxian talking sweet nothings to each other. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers were embedded in the flesh, and blood was dripping down, but she was unaware of anything.

Soon, Wen Shichu brought some labor-inducing medicine for Meng Jingxian to drink.

After Meng Jingxian drank it with difficulty, within a cup of tea, he began to have constant abdominal pain and bleeding in his lower body.

When the midwife saw this, she knew that the baby was about to be born, so she asked everyone to leave and began to prepare for the birth.

Meng Jingxian was already sweating profusely from the pain, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. She had only one thought in her mind, and that was to give birth to the child safely.

As time passed, Meng Jingxian's contractions became more frequent. She clenched her fists tightly, trying hard not to groan in pain.

Meng Jingxian did as the midwife said, using all her strength, and finally felt a warm current flowing out of her body.

"Come out! Come out!"

The midwife shouted excitedly, holding a tiny baby in her arms:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Congratulations to your wife, it's a little prince!"

Hearing this, Meng Jingxian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She lay weakly on the bed with a happy smile on her face.
