Meng Qi sighed inwardly. What a twist of fate! If Concubine Xiu had entered Prince Rui's palace without incident, wouldn't everything be different now? Perhaps Gong's fate would also be different, and she wouldn't have had to deal with anything.
"I won't tell you much about the palace, but you are so vicious that you allowed Hu to bring Sister Yu to harm Brother Ran. You deserve to be killed."
Wu shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "No, Your Highness, it's not like that. I didn't know the cakes were poisoned, nor did I know Hu was part of that evil gang. If I had known, I would have told her the truth even at the risk of being punished by you. I would never have let her go."
"You don't know? If you don't know, why let Mrs. Hu test the fragrant cake? You have no ill intentions, so why do you go to Mrs. Xiaolin again and again to encourage her to kill the baby in the princess's belly? Mrs. Wu, you are a fool." When Song Chengze said this, he raised his leg and kicked Mrs. Wu in the heart.
Wu cried out and leaned to the side, supporting herself with her hands. She turned to look at Meng Qi, "Princess, please save me. When you first entered the mansion and were isolated and helpless, I firmly supported you."
Meng Qi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will return to Jing'an Garden first. Leave the matters over there to me."
Song Chengze hummed and stood up. He picked up Meng Qi's cloak from the shelf and put it on her. As he tied the belt, he said, "As I told you, if you can't get anything out of it, don't bother with it anymore."
Meng Qi patted Song Chengze's hand and walked out.

Looking at Dong Hai following behind her, Meng Qi nodded and let Yuan Dong help her get into the warm sedan chair. "Let's go directly to Jinmoju."
Dong Hai and Yuan Dong exchanged a glance, then hurried away, followed by several guards.
Mrs. Li suddenly became irritable and her eyelids twitched violently. She walked back and forth in the room, repeatedly asking whether Mother Jin and Roland had returned, and asked the little girl to go to the door to watch again and again.
Something must have happened. This is so abnormal. Mother Jin and Roland rarely went to the outer courtyard, and each time they went there, they were always there to deliver something. As long as they explained the situation clearly and there were witnesses, why would they have to ask so long? It's already been two hours.
Li slammed her hands on the table, making the teacups clink. It was rare for her to show her emotions like this. She blamed herself. After the purse incident, she should have dealt with Hu. She was too soft-hearted, thinking she wouldn't be caught, that it would all work out well.
It’s all about that damn purse. Why did that damn Mrs. Hu rush back to get the purse?
"Concubine, concubine, look, what's going on?" A maid's voice came from outside. Li calmed herself down and hurried out. Standing on the steps of the main room, she saw the prince's inseparable personal bodyguard walking into the courtyard first, followed by seven or eight men in tight-fitting clothes.
Li was stunned. This had never happened before. Not to mention that men could not easily enter the inner house, even if someone came occasionally, there would not be so many people and such a big scene.
Li suddenly felt that the situation was hopeless and she must have been exposed. She knelt down facing the direction of the palace and kowtowed three times. Just as she was about to use force with her mouth, someone came quickly and pinched her chin. Li coughed violently and a pink pill was spat out.
"Since you are not afraid of death, why are you afraid to say it out loud?" Meng Qi said coldly as he stood in front of her.
Li looked up with a sneer on her face, "You also said that I am not afraid of death, what else can I tell you. Princess, please go back, I know nothing."
Meng Qi sat down and looked down at her with pity in her eyes. "What a pitiful person! You risk your life for her, but he is risking yours."
"What do you mean?"
