At this moment, Chu Qingqing was being escorted here by two palace servants.

She didn't know what mistake she had made to be treated like this, and her bright face showed a hint of confusion.

"Your Majesty, did this subject do something wrong? Why is he being brought here?"

Hearing this, the imperial concubine hadn't opened her mouth to speak yet, but the noble lady following behind her said, "Miss Chu, are you trying to trick Fang Qingyue into losing her virginity in the palace because you can't stand her?"

Chu Qingqing looked up at the noblewoman in disbelief, "How is this possible? Causing chaos in the imperial palace is a capital crime. Even if I were to become so arrogant, I would never do such a thing."

"Besides, I have no intention of damaging her reputation."

As the daughter of a general, even if she felt jealous, she would never do such a despicable thing.

"Your Majesty, please see, I have said that Miss Chu is definitely innocent. Moreover, it is not me who is being humiliated now, so I cannot blame Miss Chu."

Chu Qingqing looked at Fang Qingyue, and a look of helplessness flashed across her young face.

She didn't expect Fang Qingyue to speak up for her.

If Fang Qingyue was in such a predicament, even if she would not add insult to injury, she would not say a good word for Fang Qingyue.

"You mean that the palace maids in my palace are deliberately causing trouble in the palace?" The expression on the imperial concubine's face was a little ferocious.

"I didn't mean that, but now that it has happened, the murderer cannot be caught. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. If the emperor knew that such a thing happened in the palace on such a festive day, once the emperor wanted to blame us, I'm afraid everyone standing here today will be blamed." Fang Qingyue raised her eyes and looked at the imperial concubine, her tone gentle and intimate.

The imperial concubine was so angry that she clenched her palms and wanted to slap Fang Qingyue.

This bitch!

But she really had no choice.

In order to successfully frame and shirk responsibility, she had ordered the palace servants to clear up all the clues in advance.

Even though Fang Qingyue endorsed Chu Qingqing, the blame could not be put on Chu Qingqing.

"Come here, Chunyan has been having an affair with a man in the palace, causing chaos in the palace. Her crime is unforgivable. Drag Chunyan and that man out immediately to avoid disturbing the emperor!" The imperial concubine gritted her teeth and said viciously.

Someone immediately came up to drag Chunyan.

The palace maid held the imperial concubine's feet and cried out in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again, Your Majesty..."

The guards covered the palace maid's mouth to stop her from shouting.

The man was also taken out of the palace by the guards and dragged into the yard.

Chunyan and the man were beaten to death instantly by a barrage of sticks.

The blood flowed along the ground all the way to Fang Qingyue's feet, but Fang Qingyue looked as if nothing had happened. She just took two steps back to avoid the flowing blood.

She didn't think that the death of this palace maid had anything to do with her.

If the imperial concubine hadn't deliberately framed her, this wouldn't have happened. If she were Chunyan, she would have been dead by now.

How could she feel sorry for an accomplice?

The matter was over. The imperial concubine tried to force out a friendly smile and reached out to pull Fang Qingyue: "Qingyue, I'm sorry, I scared you today."

"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Fang Qingyue bowed and said respectfully, "Let's go back to the table first. The banquet is the most important thing."

Her position was originally arranged to be very close to Chu Qingqing.

Only after they sat down did Chu Qingqing say to her awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive earlier and said a lot of unpleasant things to you. I hope you don't mind."

Fang Qingyue really didn't care much about it.

The legitimate daughter of the general's mansion was naturally spoiled like the apple of her eye. Chu Qingqing was just a little spoiled, and in the end she never completely broke off with her.

"Nothing."

"Thank you for what happened today." Chu Qingqing lowered her head and whispered, "That palace maid really deserves to die. She actually did such a thing and wanted to put the blame on me. If you hadn't spoken up for me, I'm afraid I would really have been charged with a crime."

She knew in her heart that if she was charged with causing chaos in the palace, she would not be able to survive even if she was the general herself.

"No need to thank me." Fang Qingyue saw that she had no idea who had framed her, and couldn't help but look at her with pity several times.

She still hasn't figured out who is behind the framing of her today. She is really too naive.

If she really married the Seventh Prince in the future, she probably wouldn't live long in this deep palace.

"Miss Chu, please be more careful in the future. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, and you may get into big trouble if you are not careful." Fang Qingyue reminded.

Chu Qingqing nodded and said seriously: "I remember it."

After the banquet, Shen Yuhan took Fang Qingyue away.

On the carriage back to the old house, he frowned and said in a cold tone, "Do you know who attacked you today?"

"Isn't she just the imperial concubine?" Fang Qingyue said.

"More than that." Shen Yuhan shook his head, his face extremely serious. "In fact, I have already discovered that there is something wrong with you. I originally wanted to go there early in the morning, but the Prime Minister stopped me."

If not for this, Fang Qingyue would not have entered the side hall and was almost bullied by that man.

"You said this matter is related to the Prime Minister?" Fang Qingyue was suddenly startled and suddenly remembered something.

The imperial concubine's surname was indeed Zhou. She was not very familiar with the factions in the court and actually forgot this.

"Yes." Shen Yuhan said without question, "The emperor now favors the imperial concubine alone, and the prime minister is very powerful. Few officials in the court dare to compete with the prime minister's mansion."

He glanced at Fang Qingyue with a hint of warning in his eyes: "If you continue to investigate like this, if the Prime Minister finds out, it will be very dangerous."
