At the eldest princess's signal, Concubine De was suddenly freed and rushed forward.
She pushed the palace servants like crazy: "Get out! All of you get out of here, get out—"
"Ye'er. Mother is here——"
The guards came upon hearing the noise.
I was still a little confused when I saw this scene.
I saw Concubine De going mad like a bull, knocking a group of palace maids to the ground.
The mother and son hugging each other look so pitiful.
However, at this moment, two Taoist priests standing at the side hall door cried out in surprise: "Oh, so many dead bodies!"
When the guards rushed over, they saw several corpses lying in the side hall.
They were all eunuchs and palace maids.
De Fei's face turned pale instantly: "No..."
She stumbled over.
Li Qingluo and Shaqi quickly jumped away.
Defei leaned against the door frame and looked into the hall.
After seeing the blood and corpses everywhere, he felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
"No... that's not true..."
As Concubine De was about to collapse, the eldest princess smiled coldly: "Why is it not true?"
"Empress Defei, all the concubines in the palace were watching how Xiaoliu rushed out with a knife today."
"You're not still trying to exonerate Xiaoliu from the crime of murder, are you?"
De Fei screamed: "This was not done by Ye'er, it was definitely not done by Ye'er!"
"Ye'er is as innocent as a child. He is sick, how could he kill someone?!"
Rong Fei straightened her messy appearance and said, "Child?"
"Sister Defei, that's not what you said a while ago."
"You said the Sixth Prince is just simple-minded. No one in this palace is allowed to call the Sixth Prince a fool."
"If you find out about any palace servants discussing something in private, you will find a reason to punish them."
"Some of those who were hit by the sticks died from their injuries."
"Now, why are you talking about your son's unusual behavior yourself?"
"What about those palace servants you deliberately punished?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De turned her head and looked at everyone with red eyes.
"They all deserve to die for talking about the master in private!"
"Besides, my Ye'er is extremely kind and would never kill innocent people."
Li Qingluo: "What about you, Madam Defei?"
"I've calculated with my fingers. Could it be that you intentionally harmed others, and that's why you're suffering retribution today?"
She said as soon as she finished speaking.
The entire Jinying Palace was filled with silence.
Everyone stared at Concubine De with extremely complicated expressions.
Sha Qi then spoke indifferently, "Just now, when the Sixth Prince was wielding a knife and killing someone, I was outside the window and saw it all clearly."
"If necessary, I am willing to go to the Dali Temple to testify in person."
Just as he finished speaking, a strong voice came from outside the palace: "De Fei, when did Ye'er become a fool who kills people with a knife!"
"How are you going to explain this to me?!"
The person who came was actually Emperor Yan.
He didn't know how long he had been listening outside the Jinying Palace.
At this moment, he stared at Concubine De with cold and hateful eyes, like an invisible knife, which frightened Concubine De so much that she collapsed to the ground.
"No... this is all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Your Majesty!"
"My mother and I were framed."
"How could Ye'er hurt others for no reason——"
The Sixth Prince sat on the ground, rubbing his eyes and crying like a child: "Mother, I'm scared, wuwu..."
"I want to kill them all! I want to kill them all!"
Defei rushed over with a pale face.
"Ye'er!"
"Shut up..."
She covered the Sixth Prince's mouth in panic, but the Sixth Prince bit her hard.
Then she rushed towards people crying again.
The Imperial Guards immediately took action and captured the Sixth Prince.
Defei rushed forward again, regardless of the blood on her hands.
But this time, there was no way to save Duan Rongye who was struggling frantically.
De Fei's eyes were instantly filled with hatred and madness: "I know that you are here today on purpose to harm me, Ye'er!"
"This is all a conspiracy."
"Why would you be so kind as to come and celebrate my birthday?"
"You just can't stand the fact that I have a son!"
"You are all murderers—"
"Who is it?"
"It's you—the eldest princess!"
"You were cared for by Concubine Yue when you were young, and you have always been grateful to her."
"Or you——? Rong Fei!?"
"These past few years, you've tried everything but still haven't been able to have a child. You must be jealous that I have a child!"
"Or you——"
"you--?"
"And you two stinky Taoist priests! You came from Guifu Palace, and you're here to deliver a gift to Duan Rongshi..."
"Gift, gift!"
Defei rushed back into the palace and dug out the brocade box from a pile of gifts.
She hurriedly opened the box, only to see a heavy red gold osmanthus hairpin fall to the ground with a jingle.
Many concubines, princesses and Emperor Yan present changed their expressions instantly after seeing the hairpin clearly.
However, Concubine De picked up the hairpin and started laughing wildly.
"I knew it was Concubine Yue, it was Concubine Yue——"
"I want to kill her child, so she must have turned into a ghost to kill my Ye'er!"
"She came back for revenge..."
"It's her—"
Emperor Yan: "Defei is crazy!"
"You are talking nonsense and behaving inappropriately!"
"Where are the Imperial Guards? Arrest her and send her to the cold palace immediately!"
