Li Haiying's mind flashed back to Emperor Qianyuan's expression, and he said truthfully, "The eldest prince has entered the palace and is already in the imperial study. He has found witnesses who confirmed that it was the empress who persecuted him."
"This is clearly slander!" Pei Lan was furious. "Your Majesty has no maternal family now, and the little prince is still too young to rely on the emperor. How could Your Majesty persecute the eldest prince?"
Cui Wan understood that the emperor was intentionally protecting her. "How could I have the guts to persecute the eldest prince? Now, thanks to the young prince, I have regained my status as a noble concubine. How could I do anything that would disappoint the emperor?"
"Your Majesty, I also believe that you will not persecute the eldest prince, but now the eldest prince has come to the imperial study with witnesses. Now we need these palace servants to identify them. If they don't come, we can't prove that the person behind the persecution of the eldest prince is your Majesty."
Li Haiying's words were very clear, and Cui Wan naturally understood them. She glanced at Peilan and said, "Come here, have all the palace people gather in the courtyard and follow Eunuch Li to the Imperial Study."
Li Haiying brought the palace maids of Changchun Palace to the square in front of the Imperial Study, and ran into Nie Jiu and others leading the manager Fang Zhou of Jintai Tower.
Xu Mo, Mo Feng and Qing Xudong rushed over.
When Emperor Qianyuan saw that Li Haiying had brought almost all the palace residents of Changchun Palace here, his brows twitched violently.
Could it be that Li Haiying didn't understand what he meant?
Feng Jinyu tilted his head to look at him. Emperor Qianyuan looked at him lovingly, "Don't worry. If it is really Concubine Cui who is restless and wants to poison you, I will not forgive her."
Feng Jinyu nodded without saying anything, looking towards the square ahead. He inexplicably felt that among these palace servants there might not be someone who had daily contact with Qing Xuxu.
"Fang Zhou, look carefully!" Nie said coldly, "Who is this person who often goes to Cuizhuxuan to meet with Qing Xudong? This is the imperial palace. If you dare to lie, watch out for your head!"
Fang Zhou had been trembling with fear all the way, and when he heard this, he became even more nervous and nodded and said yes repeatedly.
After glancing at Qing Xudong, he looked carefully at the group of palace maids in front of him and ignored the row of eunuchs behind them.
He knew that it was always a woman who came.
Qing Xudong took a quick glance and knew that Peilan and Peiyi were not in the team.
Fang Zhou watched for half a cup of tea, and Xu Mo was getting impatient. "Fang Zhou, can you see clearly who is contacting Qing Xudong?"
Fang Zhou shook his head, "No, that person is not in there."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Xu Mo asked Li Haiying, "Are all the palace people in Changchun Palace here?"
"Except for the wet nurse who serves the little prince, everyone is here."
"Then call the wet nurse over."
"The wet nurse has never left the palace since she started taking care of the little prince, so don't ask her to come over."
Xu Mo said: "Now that someone has accused the Imperial Concubine, the wet nurse must be brought here as well."
"This..." Li Haiying looked at Emperor Qianyuan.
"Go, bring the nurse here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"No need!" Nie Jiu strode to the last row of eunuchs, pulled out a young eunuch, and threw him directly in front of Emperor Qianyuan.
"Your Majesty, this is the driver of the contact person."
Emperor Qianyuan glanced at Li Haiying, who was really a guy who could not do anything good but was always causing trouble!
"Qing Xudong, have you seen this little eunuch?"
"Your Majesty, I have never seen this person. The person I met with was a woman."
"Your Majesty, I was waiting with my men at Jintai Tower, and I asked them to carefully note down the appearances of the dignitaries who would dine there. That day, this little eunuch pulled up a black-covered carriage and stopped in the back alley. A woman dressed as a woman got out and entered the building. There's no doubt that woman was conveying the Imperial Concubine's instructions to meet Qing Xudong. She's not here because she probably heard the rumors and went into hiding. This little eunuch explains everything. Imperial Concubine Cui is the real culprit who persecuted the First Prince!"
Emperor Qianyuan came out and looked at Fang Zhou, "Have you seen this young eunuch?"
"Your Majesty!" Nie Jiu suddenly spoke. A hint of displeasure flashed in Emperor Qianyuan's eyes, but he was worried that he might be from Dongjun, so he endured it and didn't get angry.
"I remember that day when that woman came out with a food box, it was Shopkeeper Fang who personally escorted her to the carriage and helped this young eunuch to get her on board. Is that right, Shopkeeper Fang?"
Fang Zhou couldn't figure out what was going on and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that woman always went to Mr. Qing's private room every time she came. Every time she left, I would personally escort her to the carriage. It was indeed this little eunuch who came with her."
Nie Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he knew the truth, Emperor Qianyuan wouldn't delay any further, right?
"Father." Feng Jinyu was carried out.
Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand, and two imperial guards with swords quickly stepped forward and took Fang Zhou away.
"Father, it has now been confirmed that the person behind this is Concubine Cui. Please seek justice for me!"
"Come here! Pass the order down, and banish Concubine Cui and the little prince to the cold palace. Never let them set foot there for the rest of their lives!"
Nie Jiu was very dissatisfied with this result. Concubine Cui was guilty of a capital crime, but she was not sentenced to death, but was instead banished to the cold palace?!
Seeing that Feng Jinyu didn't express his opinion, he didn't know what to say. He was just a small guard and a Dongjun native.
"Yu'er, it's a rare opportunity for you to visit the palace. Just rest in the East Palace for a few days. Father will arrange for Wanyi to come to the palace to accompany you."
"Father, Wanyi is in poor health and needs to rest. I have been feeling better and better lately, so I will not stay at the East Palace. I will visit my mother and grandmother and then leave the palace."
"Okay, go ahead."
Nie Jiu waited until Li Haiying took the imperial edict and a group of palace maids and went to the harem in a grand manner before turning around and leaving the palace.
