Ling Yue answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, with clear and open eyes.

"When I summoned Lin Liangyuan that day, Qingzhi pretended to be the concubine's order and asked me to go to Shuining Palace. Do you know about this?"

"I know that the concubine sent someone to Huamei Residence to ask you to leave, but I didn't know that someone was acting under the guise of the concubine's order."

"Your Highness, I am your Crown Princess. I have recently been studying management techniques in the Queen's Palace and have received a lot of guidance from the Queen."

"Your Highness's behavior of abandoning Lin Liangyuan and going to Shuining Palace was indeed inappropriate. As the Crown Princess, I should have advised Your Highness. But later, I heard that the concubine was suffering from a severe headache and even invited a royal physician. I thought it was understandable. I thought Lin Liangyuan would be able to accept it, so I did not blame the concubine."

"Why does Your Highness think that the maid falsely conveyed the concubine's order?"

Ling Yue spoke gently and sensibly, and raised his questions reasonably.

"Everyone in the Concubine's palace said that the Concubine had never sent anyone to Huamei Residence, and that not only was the Concubine's tranquilizing soup poisoned, but Doctor Li also diagnosed that there were contraceptive drugs in her body."

"Guo Gu sent Qing Zhi to the Ministry of Punishment. Under torture, Qing Zhi admitted that everything was ordered by the Crown Princess."

"And I also found contraceptives in Qingzhi's room. Does the Crown Princess have anything to explain?"

Jun Zechen's eyes became more and more fierce, shooting straight at Ling Yue like a sharp sword.

Ling Yue frowned suddenly, his face turned pale in an instant, and then he knelt down.

She didn't give Su Jingyao any contraceptive drugs, how dare Qingzhi frame her? !

"Your Highness, Qingzhi is a member of the concubine's palace. I have never had any contact with her. Her accusation is completely groundless."

Ling Yue's voice trembled and her eyes were full of grievance.

Jun Zechen saw Ling Yue's shocked and even horrified expression, and observed him carefully, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.

If Ling Yue hadn't asked Qingzhi to give Su Jingyao contraceptives, then she could only be the Concubine Shu.

"Your Highness, I know that you favor the concubine, but the concubine has a grudge against me. She even boasted in front of me before that Aokiji was a maid in her palace. This must be a false accusation. Please investigate thoroughly."

Ling Yue said anxiously.

Jun Zechen sat on the chair, silent, just turning the ring on his hand, his eyes deep, no one knew what he was thinking.

If the contraceptive drug was not administered by Ling Yue, then the only thing Ling Yue did was to ask Qingzhi to go to Huameiju to ask him to leave?

But Aokiji couldn't produce any evidence of the transaction with Ling Yue.

"From what you said, you think it was the concubine who framed you? Could it be that the concubine gave you contraceptive drugs? If it were you, would you not want to have my child?!"

Jun Zechen's voice was a little heavier, with a strong sense of oppression in his tone.

Ling Yue was startled by the sudden voice and her body trembled even more violently. Which woman of Jun Zechen's wouldn't want to give birth to his child? Su Jingyao even gave birth to Jun Zechen's eldest son.

But I didn't expect that in this life, Su Jingyao was actually tricked and had been on contraceptive. No wonder there was no movement in her belly.

You deserve it.

In fact, she knew in her heart that it was Concubine Shu who did it. It was Concubine Shu who did it in her previous life.

"Your Highness, maybe someone else is plotting to murder the concubine. Why don't you investigate Aokiji?"

Ling Yue raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen.

As long as she finds the token of Concubine Shu from Aokiji, she will naturally not be suspected.

Jun Zechen had already guessed in his heart that Shufei might be the one who murdered Su Jingyao's contraception. The question just now was just to test whether Ling Yue was related to Aokiji.

As soon as Ling Yue came in, Jun Zechen had already said that Aokiji's confession pointed to Ling Yue, but Ling Yue still asked him to investigate thoroughly, as if he was very sure that he could find out other things to prove her innocence.

Jun Zechen is now almost certain that Ling Yue may not be the one who gave him the contraceptive drug, but she definitely asked him to leave in the name of a concubine on purpose.

Ling Yue knew that Aokiji had the token of Concubine Shu, so she wanted Jun Zechen to find the token to clear her suspicion.

It was Ling Yue who persuaded him to go to Huameiju that night. He didn't believe in so many coincidences.

"Aokiji, I will investigate this thoroughly." Jun Zechen said coldly.

"but."

Jun Zechen paused and continued, "Crown Princess, I don't like people plotting against me under my nose, and I don't like people plotting against me even more. Before I find out everything that Qingzhi told me, Crown Princess, please don't manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace. I will send a few female officials to take over."

Jun Zechen stated the final decision indifferently.

Ling Yue's face was full of disbelief.

"Your Highness, there is no evidence pointing to me right now. Are you going to punish me just based on the one-sided words of a palace maid?"

Ling Yue's voice was sharp and trembling, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This is not a punishment. If it is found that you have nothing to do with Aokiji, I will naturally return the rights to you."

"If you have power during the investigation, who can guarantee that you will not use it to interfere with the investigation? I am doing this just to find out the truth as soon as possible and clear your name."

Jun Zechen was not moved at all, and his explanation was even more high-sounding.

Ling Yue bit her lip and suppressed the overwhelming hatred in her heart.

It was obvious that Jun Zechen had determined in his heart that she had murdered Su Jingyao, and was finding ways to avenge Su Jingyao.

"Yes, I accept."

Ling Yue's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of unwillingness.

"Well, back off."

Jun Zechen waved his hand and stopped looking at her.

Ling Yue slowly stood up, turned and walked out of the Yude Hall. When she stepped out of the gate, she looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. The strong light hurt her eyes, it was really dazzling.

Is it true that no matter how many lifetimes she has, she will never be able to deal with Su Jingyao?

As long as Jun Zechen falls in love with Su Jingyao, how else can she win her over?

Obviously, Su Jingyao was arrogant, jealous, and disregarded palace rules, but Jun Zechen didn't care at all.

Why did he hate her so much when she was jealous of him in her previous life?

Ling Yue felt that even though he was bathing in the scorching sun, his whole body was cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.

Is it because Jun Zechen has never loved her...

Therefore, if she didn't meet his expectations in the slightest, she would be sent to hell immediately. Ling Yue smiled at herself, and her smile was uglier than crying.

But since Su Jingyao is favored by Jun Zechen, why do you want to take away her power?

Since Su Jingyao wanted to kill her, she would not let her go either.

Ling Yue clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

"Master, what should we do now?" Meixiang asked carefully.

"Go to Kunning Palace." Ling Yue said coldly.
