"I ask you, when Concubine Ning gave birth just now, you had to serve her to take medicine. What kind of medicine did you take?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qianyan froze as if struck by lightning.
As soon as Hanxiang heard that the imperial concubine wanted to question her, she was already trembling with fright, knelt on the ground and dared not move, and when she mentioned the "medicine", she was even more terrified.
"Slave, slave..."
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile, and said, "Think it over, talk after you think it over."
"..."
"You only have one chance."
"..."
"In this palace, a maid who lies is not allowed to live, especially in front of the emperor, the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you know what to do?"
When Hanxiang heard about the crime of deceiving the emperor, she was even more frightened out of her wits.
And Feng Qianyan next to her couldn't help herself, and said: "Your concubine, what do you mean by threatening my maid like this? She just wants to serve me with medicine, so what's the matter? Don't you take medicine when you give birth?"
Nan Yan's face turned cold.
Although she usually has a pleasant face and is often generous to others, this cold face immediately gives people a chilling feeling. Just looking at her eyes, it seems that the blood in her whole body is about to be frozen.
Hanxiang immediately lowered her head in fright.
Feng Qianyan's heart almost skipped a beat.
Nan Yan said coldly: "Of course I want to eat."
"..."
"Because I have taken it, I know very well what medicine a woman should and should not take before giving birth."
"..."
"Now, let your maid take it out and show it to me."
"..."
"Didn't you claim your innocence? Why are you panicking?"
"..."
"Or the medicine you took is more shameful than the needle you got?"
Hearing this, Feng Qianyan's heartbeat almost stopped, just when she was about to say something, he knelt beside her, Hanxiang finally collapsed when she saw her speechless being scolded by the aggressive concubine.
She knelt and took a few steps forward, kowtowing again and again: "The emperor spares my life, the empress has mercy, and the noble concubine has mercy!"
Upon hearing what she said, Feng Qianyan froze immediately.
Hanxiang said eagerly: "My servant doesn't know anything, everything is done by Concubine Ning, and my servant is just - this servant is just serving by the side, this matter has nothing to do with my servant!"
"you-"
Feng Qianyan became anxious immediately, and reached out to grab her, but Xu Miaoyin moved faster and gave Chun'er a wink over there, Chun'er immediately bent down, grabbed her hand, and buckled it backwards.
"Let go of me, you damn slave, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Feng Qianyan wanted to struggle, but she had just given birth to a child and was already very weak. She was at the end of her strength to hold on to sue in front of the emperor. At this time, she no longer had the strength to struggle.
Zhu Feng said: "Say it!"
Hanxiang raised her head to look at him, tears and snot running down her face, she was in a state of distress, but when she saw Zhu Feng, she trembled with fright, she didn't even have the strength to kneel without talking.
Nan Yan took a step forward and said, "The emperor asked you to say that it is to give you a chance to live!"
"..."
"If you don't say it again—I still have a way to figure out what you are doing, but at that time, you are an accomplice!"
Hearing what she said, Hanxiang finally made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Ning has been colluding with people from the imperial hospital these days, and she wants to induce labor by burning moxa and give birth to this child. She, she does it all the time!"
"What?!"
Zhu Feng didn't speak, but the eyes of the people around him widened in shock.
The method of burning moxa to induce labor and protect the fetus? !
Everyone knows that this is a taboo method in the palace. Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning is so bold!
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "What else, you'd better explain it together, if you conceal anything, you are still an accomplice!"
Hearing what the emperor said, Han Xiang dared to hide it, wishing she could get rid of the relationship.
Immediately, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, everything was said——
"These days, Concubine Ning has been using the method of burning moxa. The day Princess Xinping found the cat, she actually did the same thing, but when Mrs. Qin came, she had already been sent away, so Mrs. Qin couldn't catch it. her evidence."
"She discussed with the imperial physician at the imperial hospital that she would give birth prematurely at seven months."
"Today is exactly the day she chose, and she told her servant that—"
Xu Miaoyin's face was ashen when she heard what she said just now, at this moment she said coldly: "What did she say?"
Han Xiang lowered her head and tremblingly said: "She said that she will give birth prematurely, and she needs to find a reason. Whoever offends her in the palace, she will choose to be the scapegoat."
"scapegoat?"
"Yes, it's just pretending to be bumped into by that person, causing the illusion of premature delivery. In this way, she can not only give birth prematurely, but also deal with it, against the imperial concubine..."
Hearing this, Nan Yan suddenly understood.
Why was it that Feng Qianyan was so affectionate to her in the Nuan Pavilion before, wishing to cling to her body, and then deliberately walked in front of her.
It turned out that he was the scapegoat she had found—
As long as she made a false impression that she was hit by herself, she would be able to "prematurely give birth" openly, and she would become a jealous, ruthless sinner who murdered the emperor's heir.
It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
He really almost fell into her trap.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at King Wei, Zhu Chengxuan also understood at this time, the cold sweat on his head was dry, but his face was still a little pale, probably because of lingering fear.
If it was just him tonight, it would be absolutely impossible for him to reverse the case for himself.
Fortunately, the Concubine—
Fortunately, just now, he didn't drag her into the water just to get rid of the crime.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chengxuan raised his head to look at Nanyan, and then at the emperor, but found that although Zhu Feng's face was ugly, he also looked up at him, and nodded slightly at him.
"...!"
His heart skipped a beat.
Just now, the emperor asked him first, could it be that he was testing him
His royal father wanted to see if he was the one who framed innocent people in order to get rid of crimes, especially if this innocent person was still a noble concubine!
Zhu Chengxuan's heart was trembling.
I just feel like I just walked through the gate of hell.
At this time, what Hanxiang continued to say, everyone didn't care anymore, only Feng Qianyan's face became more and more ugly, and when Hanxiang finished speaking, she fell to the ground in despair.
At this moment, there was another commotion.
But it's not them, but the inside!
I saw Wang Baizhi walking out from inside with a pale face, and said to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, the princess..."
When everyone saw him, they were a little nervous, and they all listened attentively.
Zhu Feng also frowned.
"How is the princess?"
