Lian Rui replied, "I have always remembered it."
Concubine Lu immediately became nervous, and her hands hidden in her sleeves twisted the handkerchief, with cold sweat on her palms.
Xiao Yunyao was also shocked and had an inexplicable bad feeling.
Ning Wanyin continued to ask, "How many people are there who have the honorific status?"
"Four," the eunuch replied.
"Madame Ping, when did the eldest princess leave Linlang Palace today?" Ning Wanyin looked at Madame Ping and asked.
Madam Ping was regretting not taking good care of the princess, and hurriedly replied, "It was morning. The princess had finished her breakfast and wanted to go out for a walk. She passed by the Imperial Garden and wanted to play on the swing, so we went in..."
"Cross out the distinguished persons before the hour of Chen." Ning Wanyin looked at the eunuch and said.
The concubines who entered before Chenshi did not know that the eldest princess would come to the imperial garden today.
"Replying to Her Majesty, there are two left, Concubine Lu and Concubine Li." The eunuch continued to answer.
Ning Wanyin added, "The concubines who had already left when the eldest princess entered the imperial garden should also be crossed out."
Before the eldest princess entered the imperial garden, the other party didn't know that she would definitely go in. So if they put the poison in advance, wouldn't it be possible that it would fail?

If the Criminal Court wanted to punish a concubine, it needed the emperor's approval.
Lian Rui obeyed the order.
Concubine Zhuang wanted to rush up and hit Concubine Lu, but she couldn't get up. She said angrily, "Madam Ping, give her a slap!"
Nanny Ping also hated the person who dared to attack the eldest princess, so she led the palace servants to pin down Concubine Lu and beat her.
This was against the rules. But everyone could see clearly that the evidence pointed to Concubine Lu, and she was finished. When the emperor came later, she would be tortured as well.
As soon as the board landed on her, Concubine Lu couldn't resist and cried out in pain:
"Stop hitting me. I confess! I confess everything. I was confused for a moment. I was the one who put the poison there..."
