She held her chest and her body was shaking a little, as if she was shocked by Jiang Luoyu's words.
Everyone around was also shocked.
No one expected that Concubine Chen was involved in this matter.
Pei Lin stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand to support Jiang Zhili.
Jiang Zhili leaned in Pei Lin's arms, muttering, "Concubine Chen, it was Concubine Chen who wanted to harm me."
"Take Concubine Chen away!" Pei Lin said in a stern tone.
The Empress Dowager was also filled with anger. She looked at the pale-faced Chen Concubine and said disappointedly, "As a concubine in the harem, you actually led the rebellion. How despicable!"
Concubine Chen's face turned pale. She knew her situation very well. She allowed the palace servants to take her to Jiang Zhili and make her kneel down.
Looking at Pei Lin's grim expression, Concubine Chen said sadly, "I don't regret it... Now that the truth has been revealed, I have nothing to say."
She only hated herself for finding such a fool to work with.
The truth is completely revealed, all of this is a trap set by Chen Bin and Jiang Luoyu!
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen and Miss Jiang plotted to murder the royal heir. I hope Your Majesty will punish them severely and use this as a warning to those with evil intentions!" Zhao Li stood up, his face full of indignation.
"I hope Your Majesty will deal with it severely!" The ministers and family members around him all knelt down and begged Pei Lin to punish him severely.
Murdering the royal heir is no small matter!
Inside the Golden Palace, all the court officials and their families knelt on the ground, demanding that Pei Lin punish them severely.
Such a massive crusade frightened Jiang Luoyu to death. She was just a woman in the harem and had never seen such a scene before.
She raised her blood-stained face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and begged Jiang Zhili.
"Sister, sister, I was wrong. I hope you will let me go for the sake of our sisterhood."
She now completely understood that her life was in Jiang Zhili's hands.
Pei Linfeng frowned slightly, hugged the beautiful woman in his arms tightly, took a few steps back, and looked extremely disgusted with Jiang Luoyu.
"This matter involves the royal heir, Concubine Yi must not be lenient!" The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on the chair, spoke sternly.
She wanted to force Zhizhi to deal with Jiang Luoyu, and let Zhizhi know through this incident that as the master of the imperial palace, she must not be too soft-hearted!
Pei Lin looked down at the woman in his arms, his tone somewhat pitying: "Zhizhi, have you made up your mind?"
Jiao Niang was kind-hearted, but he had to let her speak in person.
Jiang Zhili's eyes were misty, but her expression was extremely firm. She looked at Jiang Luoyu who was being held on the ground by the palace servants, took a deep breath, and spoke sternly.
"Jiang Luoyu murdered over twenty people from the escort agency and even attempted to frame me and murder my unborn child. His crimes are numerous. Drag him to the gate of the Jiang residence and execute him by being torn to pieces by a chariot as a warning to others.
"There is unrest in the Jiang Mansion's harem, so Lord Jiang is fined two years' salary. Concubine Chen plotted to murder me and my unborn child, so I'm given a cup of poisoned wine."
After Jiang Zhili finished speaking, tears finally fell from her misty eyes, which made Pei Lin extremely distressed.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting in the chair, also breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of her daughter-in-law, she acts decisively!
"Noble Concubine Yi is wise!" Everyone kowtowed to Jiang Zhili.
Jiang Luoyu and Chen Pin were dragged away by palace servants, and Jiang Zhen was also kicked out of the palace banquet.
The palace servants were extremely quick and cleaned up the blood in the hall in a moment, and the palace banquet continued.
Jiang Zhili was helped by Pei Lin to sit back in her seat. There was a small bowl of blood swallows on her table.
"Eat some blood swallows to calm your nerves. You behaved very well just now," came the Queen Mother's kind voice.
Jiang Zhili nodded towards the Empress Dowager and said softly, "I hope the Empress Dowager will continue to give me advice."
The Empress Dowager has taught her a lot about how to manage the harem in the past few months. As someone who has been in the harem for decades and was finally promoted to the Empress Dowager, her experience is much richer and more rigorous than what is shown on TV and in novels.
Inside the Golden Palace, the sounds of stringed instruments rang out again, and the entire hall was filled with joy, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Pei Lin held Jiao Niang's hand under the table and pushed Xia Gua in front of Jiao Niang.
"You can only eat two pieces. Don't be greedy."
Summer melon is cold in nature, so pregnant women should not eat too much.
Jiang Zhili looked at Pei Lin's stern profile, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, as pretty and charming as a beautiful peach blossom.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Pei Lin's eyes were deep. He raised his other hand and stroked the slightly bulging belly of the young lady.
"It's three months today. The imperial physician said the fetus will be stable after three months."
The man's big hand was very hot, and Jiang Zhili felt uncomfortable. She moved her body slightly, wanting the man to move his hand away.
Pei Lin naturally understood Jiang Zhili's intention. He took the opportunity to stroke her a few more times before raising his hand, picking up the summer melon on the table and handing it to Jiang Zhili's mouth.
Jiang Zhili was used to being served by Pei Lin these days, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She took Pei Lin's hand and started eating the summer melon.
The emperor and his concubine had a very close relationship, and everyone in the palace saw it.
At this time, at the entrance of the Golden Palace.
Concubine Zhou, dressed simply, stood in the shadows. The half of her face that was exposed was bruised and a little swollen.
Concubine Zhou looked at the emperor and his concubine who were sitting at the highest seat in the Golden Throne Hall. Her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred!
During the three months she was confined, His Majesty never once thought of her...
Her Chuxiu Palace became a cold palace, and she was imprisoned there, unable to live or die, and her face was also ruined.
Without favor, the palace servants were perfunctory towards her. The wounds on her face kept coming back and still hadn't fully healed. Half of her face was almost blue and purple. Without her beauty and favor, she had nothing left...
