"Sun Hai! Why are you slandering me?!" Consort Jin was on the verge of a breakdown!
"Your Majesty! It is true that Sun Hai and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and Sun Hai did indeed give me a family heirloom jade bracelet, but I refused it! I have never had any romantic feelings for Sun Hai. After entering the palace, I have served the Emperor wholeheartedly and have never overstepped my bounds or engaged in any improper behavior. Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Jin'er, I know you're afraid of being executed along with your entire family if things are exposed, but it doesn't matter. We may not have shared a bed in life, but we can share a grave in death. We can keep each other company on the road to the underworld!"

If the Empress were to punish Consort Jin without authorization, the little princess in her womb would be lost!
She finally had a granddaughter she had been longing for, and she couldn't let her life be ruined by a fabricated charge.
Naturally, the Empress Dowager came to oversee the matter and personally handled it.
The Empress Dowager looked coldly at Sun Hai.
