I've been really busy lately
sorry

"But we can't rule out the possibility that they are pretending to be honest, just to take us down in one fell swoop."
The person who spoke was Tang Ruozhi. He looked calm and composed, but his words were not nice.
"That makes sense." Li Qianqian agreed.
Nangong Xiangle also said, "I find it truly horrifying that Concubine Li lived in the palace for three years... just to help Nanjiang..."
"Shut up!" Jin Suting frowned. It was the first time she spoke harshly to this innocent little girl. She was almost scared to tears. She pouted and sobbed with her handkerchief in grievance.
It is precisely because of their innocence that they are easily taken advantage of.
"The current situation is turbulent, and the harem must be kept stable. We must not make random suspicions."
Li Qianqian said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, you are too naive. Concubine Li is from Southern Xinjiang."
Li Qianqian doesn't like Jin Suting, and she is speaking without any care at this moment.
As expected, Tan Er stopped him: "Li Baolin, be careful with your words, don't forget your status!"
Jin Suting stopped the excited Tan Er and said, "Then what do you mean? I'm the daughter of General Jinzhuang. Does that mean I'm also a thief?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qianqian immediately knelt down, not daring to breathe. She just wanted to confront someone she disliked, but she didn't expect to anger the queen.
"I dare not. I was too scared and said something I shouldn't have said. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Jin Suting had no intention of letting her go. "Since you care so much about this matter, I will let you be imprisoned together with Concubine Li."
"Imprisoned?" Li Qianqian was stunned. "Empress Li, she..."
Tan Er continued, "Do you really think the Empress doesn't care about this matter? Concubine Li has long been locked up in the palace and not allowed to leave. If we find evidence of her collusion, she will be executed immediately. This is the Emperor's order!"
Li Qianqian knelt down and dared not move after hearing the convincing speech, but she still couldn't help shivering. In the middle of winter, her sweat was about to flow to the ground.

After the banquet, Jin Suting stood in front of the window watching the snow.
"It's snowing again."
She tightened her shawl and looked out the window at the heavy snow falling. Her cheeks and nose were frozen red.
"Why don't you go in?" Helan Ruizhe came over at some point, hugged her from behind, and spoke softly in her ear.
"They must have given you a hard time."
It is not difficult to guess that Jin Suting was talking about things in the court.
Helan Ruizhe shook his head and looked at the heavy snow outside the window: "It's snowing again, and the winter hunt is also in the next few days."
Winter Hunting...
Helan Yinsheng sent her a carrier pigeon message, asking her to kill Helan Ruizhe in winter. This was the last chance and the last deadline.
No one dares to go to southern Xinjiang, I'm afraid only Helan Ruizhe can go.
Yu Qinglan's words suddenly flashed through my mind - "You think I can see it, but he can't see it?"
She suddenly grabbed Helan Ruizhe's hand and said, "Don't hold the winter hunt. I, I'm afraid of the cold."
Helan Ruizhe smiled softly, "I want to make you happy. You haven't smiled since you came back from Jiangnan."
Jin Suting was stunned for a moment. He observed all her emotions so carefully, so how could he not know whether she really had lost her memory.
"Alan, if I lied to you..."
Helan Ruizhe leaned forward and tapped her lips to stop her from talking, then left and said, "If you lie to me, I won't blame you. This way, we're even."
Also, even if you come back to kill me, I will be happy to do so.
Jin Suting didn't understand, so she added, "What if I don't belong to this world?"
