The Queen's expression was stiff, but she still held her chin high, looking at Ni Yueshan with disdain: "I have never been threatened by anyone before, but today you are threatening me here. If I don't punish you, how will I survive in the palace in the future?"
Her eyes turned and looked at the palace servants standing beside her: "I asked you to capture him, are you all deaf?"
The palace maid immediately stepped forward and quickly arrived in front of Ni Yueshan. Qingdie and the palace maid were about to start fighting, but the palace maid suddenly announced loudly: "The emperor has arrived——"
The queen's face changed and she immediately stood up and went to greet him. The emperor walked into the hall. Although he did not take any action, he could clearly feel the tense atmosphere.
The emperor ignored them and sat down in his seat, looking at everyone with a serious expression. "Princess Chen, you said that the queen colluded with that woman from outside the palace, Miss Yu, to murder your fetus?"
"Exactly!"
"I know you're a calm child. Do you have any evidence? If not, then you're falsely accusing the Queen. Do you know what the penalty for falsely accusing the Queen is?"
Ni Yueshan knelt on the ground and said with great determination: "Your son has witnesses!"
Ni Yueshan then looked at the Queen. "Your Majesty, you've kept Yu Fei by your side these days. Your relationship with her must be special, right? If Yu Fei testifies against you, you shouldn't have anything to say."
Seeing the emperor coming, the queen had already restrained her anger, but Ni Yueshan was still so aggressive in front of the emperor, which made the queen very angry inside, but she still pretended to be innocent on the surface.
"Your Majesty, I am truly innocent. I heard that Princess Chen used private torture on Yu Fei. How can I believe this confession that was forced...?"
The emperor looked solemnly at Ni Yueshan and was about to say something, but Ni Yueshan had already spoken first: "Your Majesty, I have never tortured Yu Fei!"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan looked towards the Queen with an extremely cold gaze...
Soon, Yu Fei was brought over. Yu Fei knelt down in front of the emperor, looking a little frightened.
The Queen warned Yu Fei, "Don't be afraid. The Emperor is here and will definitely stand up for the innocent. Don't be afraid of others!"
Yu Fei swallowed her saliva, her expression extremely innocent, "Queen, I, your humble daughter, am sorry for you..."
As he said this, he lowered his body and prostrated himself on the ground in great shame.
The queen looked at her with a strange look in her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you so sorry for me?"
Before Yu Fei could respond to the Queen, Ni Yueshan had already pulled out a blood letter from her bosom: "In Prince Chen's Mansion, after I interrogated her, she confessed to her crime, so I made her write a blood letter!"
Ni Yueshan looked at the palace maid beside the emperor. The palace maid glanced at the emperor, and the emperor nodded. Then the palace maid went over and brought the blood letter to the emperor.
The emperor turned his eyes and fell on the blood letter, which clearly stated that Yu Fei confessed to the Queen's instructions.
The Queen's expression immediately darkened, and she shouted angrily, "False accusation! How dare you! How dare you frame me!"
Yu Fei prostrated herself on the ground, a look of panic on her face: "I didn't want to confess, but, but... I know I'm stupid and can't hide it anymore!"
The Queen thought Yu Fei was smart and would not confess easily, but she admitted it anyway?
"This is torture! This testimony cannot be trusted!" The Queen roared, then looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this cannot be trusted!"
But the emperor didn't look at her with a heavy gaze. Instead, he looked at Yu Fei, who was kneeling on the ground. "Do you know that if you are the one who murdered the royal heir, you will be executed? And your entire clan will be implicated?"
Yu Fei knelt on the ground in fear, her face filled with panic. "I know it, but Princess Chen has already seen through me with the blood letter. I know I can't defend myself, and I know I can't escape."
After saying this, she fell to the ground and began to cry softly. Ni Yueshan then spoke, "Father, it's not enough for her to simply insist that the Queen ordered her to murder my unborn child. We must also provide evidence! I hope that you can search Kunning Palace from top to bottom!"
As he spoke, Ni Yueshan kowtowed to the ground, and his expression was indeed a sincere request.
"Someone, search!"
The emperor gave the order and it was done almost without hesitation.
The Empress' expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! If you search Kunning Palace and the palace maids see it, won't it cause controversy?"
But the emperor said indifferently, "If nothing is found in Kunning Palace, what are you afraid of?"
The queen felt extremely aggrieved and stood aside, wiping her tears silently.
The palace servants who were searching the area soon arrived before the emperor and reported, "Your Majesty, we found nothing suspicious!"
Afterwards, other palace servants came to report one after another and found nothing suspicious.
The Queen's expression became increasingly relaxed. She said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, how could I, a concubine, murder the heir of Prince Chen? This is absolutely impossible!"
But the emperor did not listen to the queen and silently waited for the final search results.
At this time, a palace servant came over, but hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, I found a suspicious drug..."
Then he presented it to the emperor.
The emperor lowered his eyes and took a look: "What is this?"
The Queen's expression changed immediately: "Where did you find this? Stop slandering me here!"
"This item is in the main room of Kunning Palace, in your dressing box, Queen..."
The Queen stared at the person who spoke with astonishment, "How dare you! You're talking nonsense!"
