At this moment, a solemn atmosphere filled the hall.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Not long after, Su Jingyao's men hurried in to report: "Madam, Xiao Tanzi is dead, but the servants found Crane's Beak Carmine in his room."
The visitor showed the Crane's Beak Red. The powder was wrapped in a handkerchief with a delicate little flower embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief.
Bai Fei seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, isn't this handkerchief Bai Zhi's from Xian Fei's side? I've seen it on Bai Zhi before."
She pointed at the handkerchief, her face full of astonishment.
The virtuous concubine was secretly happy in her heart that the third prince's biological mother had died, and no one would miss the third prince anymore.
When she heard Bai Fei's words, her body shook as if she was struck by thunder.
Only then did she suddenly wake up. What happened today was actually directed at her?!
When Bai Zhi heard what Bai Fei said, she stared at the handkerchief, her eyes widened, and she broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
This is indeed her handkerchief!
Her lips began to tremble and her face turned as pale as paper.
Su Jingyao's expression darkened.
Tonight I actually went there for the virtuous concubine.
Jun Zechen, who was sitting next to him, was becoming increasingly impatient, his face terribly gloomy.
Now that he is no longer in the harem, what are these women planning?
He suppressed his anger and turned the ring on his hand.
He looked at Concubine Xian with a serious look, as if his gaze could pierce through her.
It was Bai Zhi who fell to her knees with a thump, and hit her forehead heavily on the ground.
She cried out in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this handkerchief, this handkerchief is indeed mine, but...but I don't know why it is in Xiaotanzi's place!"
As Concubine Xian listened to Bai Zhi's words, her heart began to sink.
She must have been plotted against.
But now the only one who has a grudge against her in the palace is Concubine Chu, the biological mother of the Third Prince. His Majesty has not even entered the harem, and she has never offended anyone. Who on earth is harming her!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone must have deliberately framed me!"
The virtuous concubine raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her eyes full of pleading.
Yan Zhaoyi, who was sitting next to her, had a sarcastic smile on her face, her eyes full of contempt.
She said, "Sister Xianfei, Concubine Chu is just a little beauty with a low status in this palace. It seems that no one has the motive to harm her."
"But now the Third Prince is under the name of Concubine Xian. Wouldn't you want to get rid of his biological mother as soon as possible and completely erase all traces of her?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
After saying this, he gave Concubine Xian a provocative look.
The other concubines also began to whisper, looking back and forth at Concubine Xian and talking to each other.
The virtuous concubine does have the greatest motive, and the evidence now points to her.
The virtuous concubine was speechless and looked at Su Jingyao eagerly for help.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
His eyes looked like a drowning person desperately grasping at a lifeline.
