"I believe that Concubine Yue is still the Concubine Yue I just met. Her eyes can't lie."
Of course, it was the system that told her that Concubine Yue was a good person and could be trusted.
She doesn't dare to trust anyone now.
After all, the reason she can now complete the mission in this dimension is because she trusted a pair of bastards and ended up killing herself and her parents, right?
Seeing that her queen was determined, Hua Yue said nothing more and did what she ordered.
A few days later, there was suddenly a commotion in Xijun's palace. Palace maids were coming in and out, hurriedly calling for the imperial physician, as if something big had happened.
Soon the emperor arrived. He and Ying Xixi looked at each other, and immediately, in anger, sent someone to bring Concubine Yue and the other two concubines who had sent the small clothes.
The three of them looked confused and had no idea what was going on.
"How dare you! How dare you poison my prince!"
The emperor angrily threw the three small clothes in front of the three people.
Concubine Yue was the first to pick up the light brown dress she had made. "Your Majesty, this is unfair! I only made clothes for the young prince. How could I be accused of poisoning him?"
The emperor looked at Ying Xixi and said, "My beloved concubine, you speak."
Ying Xixi wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "I really like the little clothes you made, so I gave them to the three children.
But after only wearing it for a few days, the child developed a rash!
I had the imperial physician come and check, and they discovered milk stains on all three garments! The three children are allergic to milk, so they can only drink goat's milk!
It just so happens that the children have allergies because they wore your milk-stained clothes!
I believe I have never offended you, so why are you plotting against my child?!"
While crying, Ying Xixi was also paying attention to the expressions of the three people.
Nothing had been done to Concubine Yue, and her expression was normal, but the expressions of the other two concubines were a little strange.
Concubine Yue: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise! I absolutely did not do anything!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can also prove that I did not tamper with anything." One of the nobles explained with a clear gaze.
"These three pieces of cloth were dyed before being delivered to me. I personally made the clothes.
I have been in poor health since childhood. I am not only allergic to milk, but also to some nuts.
But I touched this dress and didn't feel any allergic reaction, which is enough to prove that I didn't do anything with it.
This dress was most likely tampered with after it was delivered to Xijun Palace!"
"How dare you! Are you saying that the Imperial Concubine is deliberately doing something to slander you?!"
The emperor shouted harshly.
The noble lady bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean that."
Seeing this, another Zhaoyi followed up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't know how to prove my innocence.
But what I want to say is that it was Concubine Rou who proposed making clothes for the three young princes.
If Concubine Ruo Rou hadn't had any intentions from the beginning, why would she propose this for no reason?
"Rou Fei?!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, a cold look in his eyes, "Did Concubine Rou specifically ask you three to make clothes? Has Concubine Rou ever touched the clothes you made?"
"Your Majesty, of course I have come into contact with her. Concubine Rou boasts of her needlework skills and has even come to guide me. However, I don't know if Concubine Rou has ever guided these two sisters."
Zhaoyi looked at Guiren and Yue Guipin.
The noble lady and Yue Guipin nodded in unison, "Empress Rou has been to my palace."
"Someone, bring Concubine Rou here!"
The emperor had a vague idea in his mind, and for a moment his face was so gloomy that ink seemed to drip out.
Ying Xixi's gaze fell vaguely on the noble lady and the imperial concubine, and her expression did not look much better.
Concubine Rou was brought up by two guards, her well-maintained face full of doubt.
"I wonder why the Emperor summoned me here?"
Even at this time, Concubine Rou still maintained her dignity.
"Empress Rou, were you plotting against my prince?!"
There were flames dancing in the emperor's eyes as he glared at Concubine Rou angrily.
Concubine Rou shook her head, "Your Majesty, I did not do such a thing. This kind of thing is very immoral."
"Empress Roufei, it was you who put milk on the clothes that the three of us made for the little princes, in order to hurt the three little princes!
Otherwise, why would you be the first to suggest sending clothes to the little princes? You knew they were allergic to milk, yet you resorted to such tactics!
Concubine Yue angrily accused Concubine Rou.
When Concubine Rou heard this, although she concealed it well, Ying Xixi still saw the surprise that flashed across her eyes.
"Your Highnesses are allergic to milk? This is a private matter. I'm sure the people in Xijun Palace will keep it a secret and won't spread it easily.
How could I possibly know this? Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine, if you really want to see it this way, you might as well suspect that there's a traitor in Xijun's palace.
The secrets of the young princes were revealed and heard by someone with ulterior motives.
I proposed making clothes for the little princes because I thought that since they were one month old, I should show my appreciation. Who could have known that something like this would happen...?”
“Whether there is a traitor in my palace, I will investigate it myself. Now we are talking about the poisoning of clothes.
Sister Roufei is feeling guilty, so why are you trying to change the subject?"
After Ying Xixi finished speaking, Hua Yue leaned over to her ear and said something, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I was mistaken. Perhaps I became confused after giving birth to a child, and my memory is not very good.
The juice that stained these three little clothes was not milk juice, but peanut juice! Since these sisters all said they were innocent.
Why don't you send someone to search their house and see if they can find any peanut-related juice."
As soon as Ying Xixi said this, she saw with her own eyes a smug look in Concubine Rou's eyes, while Concubine Yue and the other two remained expressionless, looking as if they were not afraid of any slander.
The emperor immediately ordered someone to search, and soon the guard came in with a palm-sized ceramic jar.
Eunuch Fushui took it and smelled it, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is indeed the smell of peanuts in it."
When Concubine Yue saw the jar, she exclaimed, "Isn't that your jar, my dear sister? You brought it to my palace the other day, saying you wanted to fumigate and scent your Highness's clothes."
"Yes! My dear sister, you took the jar to my palace!" Zhaoyi also agreed.
When the noble lady heard this, her face turned pale and it was obvious that she was at a loss.
"That jar, that jar is where I put flower petals. It couldn't possibly smell like peanuts! Your Majesty, please be clear! I really didn't put peanuts in that jar. I absolutely have no intention of harming your Highnesses!"
