The old woman was no exception. She immediately stood up and left in a hurry, but was stopped by Lianzhi.
"Wait! You can't leave!" Lianzhi's voice was cold and harsh. She stared into the old woman's eyes, her eyes full of confusion and vigilance.
The old woman took a step back in fear, looking at Lianzhi bewilderedly, "Miss Lianzhi, what are you doing?"
"Explain to me clearly why you wanted to murder the little prince just now?"
When the old woman heard what Lian Zhi said, she denied it repeatedly, "Miss, you misunderstood. How could this old servant have any bad intentions towards the little prince?"
"Oh! You dare to say no? Weren't your actions just now planned for a long time?" Lianzhi questioned.
The old woman was shocked, "Miss Lianzhi, how could you frame me? How could I do such a thing!"
"What's going on? What about murdering the prince?"

"Lianzhi, I understand your desire to protect your master, but everything requires evidence. Do you have evidence to prove that Nanny Lian intended to murder the little prince?"
The Queen said in a deep voice, "If there is no evidence, how can you expect the Emperor and me to make the decision for you?"
"That's right! Lianzhi, we need evidence! Otherwise, there are so many disputes in this palace every day. If everyone just makes empty claims like you and asks for justice, not only will the Emperor be busy with all sorts of affairs, but the Empress will also be very busy. This will only cause trouble for them."
Concubine Yi muttered in disagreement.
Concubine Yue also echoed, "Yes, you have to produce evidence!"
