One was a concubine who had never been favored, and the other was a concubine who was by his side day and night, whispering in a low voice.

By comparing the two, it will become clear which one is more important.

As soon as the emperor arrived, his words and actions showed his deep favoritism towards Concubine Jing.

This action made the queen lose face. Although her expression remained calm, she hated Lin Shihan in her heart.

The queen calmed down slightly and glanced coldly at the palace maid beside her. The palace maid understood and answered immediately.

"Your Majesty, yes, it is Miss Yun from Liufang Pavilion who has ascended to heaven."

"What?" The emperor's brows quickly twisted into a knot, his face full of disbelief.

Although, he had never favored this Miss Yun, he had met her and had some impression of her.

Although, she was not as stunningly beautiful as Lin Shihan who entered the palace with her, she was also pretty, gentle and virtuous, a lovely beauty.

Now, it was gone just like that, and the emperor felt a little sad in his heart.

All the women in the harem, whether they have been favored or not, are his women.

You ask him, an emperor, to look at his woman, who died in an unclear manner. How can he explain to those ministers who sent the woman into the palace?

"Find out what's going on for me."

This time, no one dared to speak, except the empress, who looked at the emperor steadily with a stern expression, without any fear in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I just want to ask Sister Jingfei to explain the reason. After all, Miss Yun and Jingfei lived in the same palace. Her testimony is very important."

He was being euphemistic in what she said. The Queen almost said it explicitly, but Concubine Jing became suspicious again. However, who among the people present was not a shrewd person? Who could not guess what the Queen meant?

The emperor frowned. He knew that the empress had opinions about Concubine Jing. However, official business was official business. It was too much of a joke for so many people in the palace to insist that it was Concubine Jing who poisoned the woman.

Dissatisfaction with the empress flashed across his stern eyes, and the emperor looked at her with a frown.

"How do you determine that this matter is related to Concubine Jing?"

Whenever the emperor spoke about Concubine Jing, he was trying to protect her. The empress looked at him silently, hiding her embarrassment, and waved her hand. Someone came forward to report and prove that the empress had her reasons for holding on to Concubine Jing.

"Your Majesty, I was in charge of examining Miss Yun's body. After understanding the situation, I discovered that Miss Yun and Concubine Jing had been drinking together two hours ago, and then Concubine Jing went back alone."

"And during the two hours when the incident occurred, Concubine Jing deliberately appeared in Yu Garden and behaved strangely, so..."

The person in charge of examining the body stopped talking immediately. It was not clear what he said meant, so he just let people figure it out for themselves.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing was ill and did not attend the Qixi Festival banquet. However, why did she drink with Miss Yun when she was clearly ill? And since Concubine Jing did not want to attend the Qixi Festival banquet, why did she suddenly show up now?"

"All these doubts show that Concubine Jing is indeed suspicious. This matter is of great importance. I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible and give justice to Miss Yun. If the emperor is dissatisfied with my way of handling things, please punish me."

The Queen couldn't stand it. The Emperor's protection of Concubine Jing had made her jealous and crazy. Today, with such a good opportunity, how could she not take it to suppress Concubine Jing.

Even if this makes the emperor unhappy.

She had already set a trap. Even if Concubine Jing had the emperor's blessing today, what would that do? If she wanted her to, she would never be able to turn things around.

The queen curled up her hands fiercely, dug her nails deeply into her palms, and her face looked cruel.

The emperor's face turned cold at this moment. Obviously, the queen's words had entangled his thoughts, and the emperor couldn't help but follow her train of thought.

Luo Xuening stood aside, thinking in her heart, the Queen is really a powerful one.

His cold eyes glanced at the pitiful Concubine Jing beside him. Her eyes sank slightly. It was the first time she experienced such an accusation. She knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly. She was very scared.

At the same time, her lips turned pale and there were bitter tears in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth tightly to prevent the tears from flowing down. At the same time, she denied that she had harmed Miss Yun.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have always been good friends with Miss Yun and we interact quite often. So, how could I harm Miss Yun at this time? Your Majesty, I am really innocent."

The emperor was already quite partial to Lin Shihan. When Lin Shihan cried again, his heart ached. He thought this must be a misunderstanding.

However, in front of so many people, he couldn't openly favor Lin Shihan. He could only talk to Lin Shihan directly with a serious look.

"Princess Jing, repeat everything that happened today word for word."

"Your Majesty, Sister Yun lives in the same palace with me. Tonight, she was upset because she couldn't attend the Qixi Festival banquet. Fortunately, I was resting in the palace, so Sister Yun brought a pot of wine and drank with me."

"Afterwards, Sister Yun drank too much, so I sent someone to send Sister Yun back home. Afterwards, I felt dizzy, so I went outside for a walk, and later, I came to Yu Garden. So, I don't know why Sister Yun got into trouble, but I didn't do anything."

"Your Majesty, please trust me."

Lin Shihan tightly held the emperor's sleeve. She knew that someone wanted to harm her on purpose because of what happened today. However, she did not have any strong background. In this harem, all she had was the emperor's favor.

She could let others slander her as long as the emperor believed in her.

This is her only way to survive.

The emperor listened to her words and fell into deep thought. He didn't believe that Concubine Jing would kill someone. Such a weak woman would scream in fear even when seeing the corpse of an animal. How could she kill a good sister who lived with her?

There are still many doubts about this matter.

"Someone, go check what they drank."

As soon as the emperor's order came out, everyone rushed to the scene and quickly presented the drinking utensils of Concubine Jing and Lady Yun for inspection.

During this process, the most anxious person was Lin Shihan.

Soon, the result came out, and I heard the palace maid say, "There is no poison in the wine."

Lin Shihan heaved a sigh of relief, but before her smile could spread, she heard the palace maid continue speaking.

"However, there is a drug in the wine that can make people lose their minds. Moreover, this drug is only in Miss Yun's wine. It is not in the wine glass used by Concubine Jing, nor in the wine."

The smile on Lin Shihan's face suddenly froze.

How could this happen?

Obviously, this wine was brought by Sister Yun herself, how could it contain such drugs?
