Tian Shaohua was silent. He specifically asked Ruan Qing to change the shift because he missed An Nuanzhi. Unexpectedly, the emperor's eyes were sharp and he didn't know how to answer.

Lan Yiluo stood up with an expressionless face, "Tian Guard, you have fallen in love with my little queen, right?"

Tian Shaohua shivered from head to toe, and unexpectedly - his thoughts were seen through by the emperor. Their emperor was really a terrible man, but when did he find out?

Tian Shaohua knelt down and bowed, "I dare not argue with the emperor."

Lan Yiluo narrowed her eyes and smiled dangerously, "I'm very relieved because you don't have this ability either! What's more, you can't compare to me in terms of scheming, and you can't give Nuanzhi happiness!"

"What the emperor said - it's quite right." Tian Shaohua lowered his head, but he felt very unhappy in his heart. He really could not give Annuan the honor of Zhiguo's mother, nor could he give her the supreme right.

"Relax." Lan Yiluo's cold eyes softened, and he gestured to Tian Shaohua to stand up.

"Since you love Nuan Zhi, of course I will not keep you by Nuan Zhi's side, but before leaving, you must do something for Nuan Zhi. You have also seen that Nuan Zhi is in a very dangerous situation, and I want you to protect her.

"Lan Yiluo pursed her lips - he was very scared when he thought about Liu Shuiqing's aggressive look just now. If he was a step too late, would he have to say goodbye to his little queen forever?

Lan Yiluo knew very well that although Nuan Zhi was brave and witty, she was incompatible with the harem. If he could protect her for a while, could he protect her for a lifetime?

The next day, Empress Dowager Ying, Empress Dowager Liu Shuiqing, Xiao Guiren and other concubines came to Huading Palace to judge An Nuanzhi's case of poisoning and murdering the prince.

"Hui Ju, was it you who served the pearl almond dew to Mr. Xiao?" Queen Mother Ying asked majestically.

A palace maid wearing a pink-colored blouse knelt down and kowtowed, "Yes. But before the ceremony, the servant saw Zi Pian from Fengming Palace going to the imperial dining room, sneaking around, as if - she also handed over the

Eunuch Xing has a package of something. It’s probably an abortion pill.”

"Your Majesty, the entire Fengming Palace is forbidden and no one can leave. The servants didn't go to the imperial kitchen at all." Zi Pian couldn't help but defend herself, Hui Ju clearly framed her.

The Hong concubine on the side couldn't bear her temper anymore, and said arrogantly, "I heard that the Tianshao Huatian guards have a close relationship with the Donghou Empress. They bribed the guards to let a palace maid out. It's easy to avoid people's attention for such a small matter."

Hong Bin's words had sinister intentions. Firstly, she was hinting that An Nuanzhi was having an affair with the guard, and secondly, she was clearing herself from suspicion. She had bribed Huiju and Eunuch Xing, and had done enough "foreplay". All that followed was

Unfavorable evidence will point to An Nuanzhi.

An Nuanzhi rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "His aunt, I finally know what 'toothless' (shameless) means, and I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I make something out of nothing."

Hong Concubine is the daughter of Taiwei Hongtu Hong, who is a distant relative of Queen Mother Ying, so Hong Concubine is also related to the Queen Mother. Whether Empress Dowager Ying does it out of selfish motives or out of partiality and close trust, in short, Queen Mother Ying deeply believes in Hong Concubine's words.

No doubt.

Empress Dowager Ying spoke, "Come here, take Dong Hou to the cold palace, and deal with it as you should."

At the critical moment, Lan Yiluo walked in with Tian Shaohua, "Queen Mother, wait a moment!"

"Your Majesty, what else can you say?" The Queen Mother sat down again.

Lan Yiluo shook her head and smiled, then glanced at Hong Bin coldly, "My son, I have nothing to say, but the Heavenly Guard has something to say."

At this time, Tian Shaohua took a step forward and said, "To report to the Queen Mother, I found something in Hui Ju's residence - Xiandao Blood Swallow."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that the Xiandao Blood Swallow was a peerless treasure. How could it be in Hui Ju’s residence?

Blood swallows are bright red in color and rarely produced, and are sought after as treasures in bird's nests. Ordinary blood swallows are very valuable, and this bowl of Xiandao blood swallows is even more precious among the rare. You can only get one or two in a hundred years. Only three people in the world have it.

Xiandao Xueyan, the first is Queen Mother Ying, the second is Hong Taiwei, the father of Hongbi, and the third is King Hui Lan Yiqian.

In fact, this Xiandao Blood Swallow was the bribe used by Hong Concubine to bribe Huiju. Huiju's mother was seriously ill and she had to use Xiandao Blood Swallow as medicine to treat her.

Queen Mother Ying said coldly, "Hui Ju, this small bowl of Xiandao Blood Swallow costs at least three cartloads of silver. As far as the Ai family knows, only three people in the world have it. Where did you get it?"

"Slave, slave, slave—" Hui Ju hesitated and was speechless. She only looked at Hong Concubine asking for help, but Hong Concubine couldn't protect herself, so how could she care about her?

Lan Yiluo hummed softly, "Tell me, Huiju, who bribed you, and who made you fabricate facts to frame the Empress of the East? If you don't tell the truth - you will be killed with a stick!"

Lan Yiluo's eyes were cold and cold, like an evil emperor shrouded in evil spirits. The look on his face was enough to scare Hui Ju out of his wits. However, Hong Bin's family was prominent and Taiwei Hong held a high position, so Hui Ju did not dare to recant her confession.

Huiju was finally dragged out of the palace and executed with a stick. Her screams echoed through the Huading Palace, and she could not calm down for a long time.

But Hong Bin's face was completely pale.

"The Ai family is tired." Queen Mother Ying gave Hong Concubine a cold look, which was very meaningful.

Back at Cixiang Palace, Queen Mother Ying called Hong Concubine, "Mei'er (Hong Concubine's nickname), did you poison the child in Xiao Guiren's belly?"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Hong Concubine could only acquiesce.
