By the time the emperor heard the news and rushed to Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Ning had already been beaten to the death.

She was lying on the ground, the clothes on her back soaked with blood, looking terrible.

The emperor immediately asked to help Concubine Ning up.

"Send her back to Yanyu Palace and let the imperial doctor show her."

Eunuch Liu replied respectfully, "Here."

He personally brought Ning Fei back to Yanyu Palace.

Empress Qin stood up and saluted, as if she were measuring with a ruler, so that no one could pick out the slightest flaw.

"My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

The emperor frowned and asked, "What did Concubine Ning do? Why do you blame her?"

Empress Qin asked coldly, "She poisoned the prince, shouldn't she be punished?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Empress Qin recounted what happened, and the palace maid Pearl came forward holding a silk handkerchief, and inside the silk handkerchief was the round jade pendant.

The emperor didn't know the jade pendant, but he knew that the empress would not lie to him on such a thing that he could know the truth at a glance.

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Even if this jade pendant really belongs to Concubine Ning, it still doesn't prove that she instigated Epiphany to poison the crown prince. The truth has not been found out yet, so you will do something to Concubine Ning, aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself?"

The Empress Qin said lightly: "If Your Majesty feels that the concubine's actions are unbiased, you can remove the empress of the concubine and put the concubine into the cold palace."

"you!"

The emperor was obviously very angry, staring at her with fire in his eyes.

"Don't think I dare not touch you!"

Empress Qin spread her arms: "The concubine is here. If you don't like the concubine, you can do it at any time."

The emperor gritted his teeth: "You wait for me!"

After he finished speaking, he walked away angrily.

Empress Qin bowed and saluted calmly: "My concubine and concubine respectfully send your majesty."

When the emperor was far away, Pearl got up from the ground and cautiously persuaded: "Empress Empress, why are you doing this? You and Your Majesty are married couples, as long as you make things clear to Your Majesty, Your Majesty may not Not on your side."

"A husband and wife?" Empress Qin smiled softly as if she heard a joke, and the laughter was full of sarcasm.

Between her and him, there has never been the slightest marital relationship from beginning to end.

Not before, not now, and never will be.

...

The news about Concubine Ning being beaten quickly spread in the palace.

Baoqin vividly explained what happened.

Seeing that her master was still nibbling on melon seeds, she had no intention of expressing her thoughts, so she had to take the initiative to speak.

"Little Master, why don't you speak?"

Xiao Xixi asked back, "What do you want me to say?"

Baoqin said excitedly: "Faced with such a cruel battle in the harem, shouldn't you be inspired to strive for favor and win the crown of the crown princess? Only when you become a crown prince will you be able to become a queen in the future. Empress, you don't have to be as pitiful as Concubine Ning."

"Where is Concubine Ning so pitiful?"

"She's been beaten like that, isn't it pitiful enough?"

Xiao Xixi said lazily: "She is doing it for herself. If she didn't have any extra thoughts, she wouldn't make the queen dissatisfied, and she wouldn't invite such a beating. So, it's better to be a salted fish, what? Don't think about it, don't fight for anything, just lie comfortably at home and eat and wait to die."

Baoqin hated that iron could not be made of steel, her master was so unsatisfactory!

At this moment, Luo Qinghan stepped in.

His sudden appearance startled both Xiao Xixi and Baoqin, and the two hurriedly bowed their knees.

Luo Qinghan looked at Xiao Xixi meaningfully and asked.

"You married into the East Palace just to eat and wait to die?"
