“Nangong Ning!”

An Li saw Ning coming in and staring at Jun Qianye, and that made her quite uncomfortable. She could not help but make a sound.

Ning’s mind just came back down and she scolded herself this time incredibly because she was distracted by Jun Qianye who was a cold-blooded guy. His brain must be broken.

She did not pay attention to the face of anger, but quickly stepped forward to salute the emperor.

The emperor directly asked, “ Nangong Ning, you said you can prove your innocence?”

Ning nodded with the affirmation on her small face. An Li hated her so much and could not help but said, “ Nangong Ning, what evidence do you have to prove yourself?”

“Clearly, you poisoned, you don’t admit!”

“My imperial concubine, what evidence do you have that I poisoned her? Did you see that?

Or did you hear it?” Ning also impolitely returned.

An Li was filled with anger and soared, “Licentious! What right have you to speak to me like that?”

The Queen Xun answered, “ An Li, now that it is important to know the matter of poisoning, you must not say anything less.”

“Does the queen imply that the dignity of mine is a trifle to be trampled upon?”

An Li was so angry that her face turned paint and angrily confronted the Queen.

Xun sat still and exclaimed, “ I have never said such a thing. An Li, you are not to be so pushed”. She turned her eyes to The Emperor who was impatient at the moment, saying, “My noble concubine, firstly let’s listen to what Nangong Ning has to say, I now want to know very much that who harmed Qing Le?”

An Li choked, but since the emperor said so, she also could not shut up. Xun swept over her ironically at a glance. An Li only felt a tremble in the face, tightly clenched her fist in the sleeve.

“Yes, I understand.”

The Emperor was satisfied with An Li and pacified, “ I know you did so because of Qing Le. You rest assured, I will return to you a fair.”

“Yes, thank you, my emperor.” An Li was touched and said, brimming with tears. Her expression was very in place.

The emperor looked at her with pity and then turned to Nangong Ning.

Ning really wanted to sneer, because An Li was simply refreshing her cognition.

Not to say to poison her own daughter, knowing the status of the daughter in the eyes of the emperor, she took advantages of this everywhere.

Such a woman, she was not worthy of a mother.

She also did not want to be vexed again on this matter, slightly raised her chin, saying in a clear voice, “My emperor, I have no evidence to prove my innocence, but I have a witness.”

When these words got out of her mouth, everyone looked at her and showed a look of surprise.

“The witness?”

The emperor was a little displeased, “If he is someone here, I can only tell you, they can not testify for you.”

Nangong didn’t hold back, and said calmly, “ I know, she is not here. My witness is Concubine Mei from Pixiang House.”

Hearing the name of Mei, the people present burst into surprise, because they did not expect of that.

Nangong Ning at this time was very confident. All the way, she had been thinking very clearly about all this. Mei could not come to see her for no reason, although Mei did not say anything. But she felt that she certainly did not guess wrongly.

Mei must have seen something!

An Li listened to the name of Mei and her face got tight. The dead girl actually really thought of Mei.

Xun’s look also moved, because Mei was the only concubine who gave the birth of the prince. But her son Jun Zixuan was the first lineal son and he was doomed to be a prince. But the son of imperial concubine Mei had some very serve disease and Mei was always wearing a placid appearance. She never thought of Mei as too big an enemy, but she felt that this woman was more of an eyesore.

Xun looked at Nangong Ning and asked, “Did Ning say that Mei could prove your innocence?”

Nangong Ning nodded.

The emperor also was taken aback and asked, “How does Mei prove your innocence?”

Nangong Ning in fact also did not know so she paused, saying, “We can invite Mei come over to prove everything.”

The emperor listened and gestured to Gao Huai standing on the side.

Ning knew that he was inviting Mei.

She could not help but look at Jun Qianye who was just sitting behind the emperor.

Ning vaguely remembered , in her pain because of toxins and clinking of time, she seemed to see Jun Qianye. Of course she felt this must be an illusion, but what made her depressed was the reason why this illusion appeared.

Did she still have fantasies and expectations about such cold-blooded man?

Nangong Ning! Even if he was good-looking and had high power, you also didn’t need to be so nymphomania.

Ning scolded herself that she had no brain, and then stared at Jun Qianye. But Jun Qianye was expressionless like she was the air.

For a while, Gao Huai led Mei here.

Different from Xun’s magnificent atmosphere, and An Li’s splendid appearance, Mei wore an elegant green dress, which was not flaunt and not stingy. Her face was beautiful and had a light temperament. She came slowly with her.

She walked up to the emperor with a dignified air.

“See you, my emperor and my queen.”

The empress nodded his head and looked at Concubine Mei. He looked relieved and asked, “Mei, how is Han today?”

Mei heard the Emperor’s question and at the right time showed a happy color, saying in a soft voice, “Han is very good, thanks for your concern.

Hearing their conversation, neither Xun the Queen nor An Li the noble concubine did much to respond. They both knew the situation of Pixiang House, so they all thought it was quite normal. Moreover, Mei had no great conflict of interest with them.

An Li’s looked slightly tight, An Qing also found that, but she did not feel Mei could help. She was clear that Mei had that kind of temperament. More importantly, Mei also couldn’t help Nangong Ning.

Xun was a little surprised. She had never been a good sister to Mei before. Even though she knew that her son could not compete with her son, she still had a prince by her side

However, Ning said Mei ccould prove her innocence. If she could, it was a surprise.

“ Mei, Nangong Ning just said you can prove her innocence, what do you say?” Xun the Queen asked.

Mei showed an obvious look, and all who saw her were moved.

Nangong Ning took the initiative to say, “ Mei, have you been to the imperial garden this morning?”

It was her guess, but she felt sure it was right.

Looking at her calmly, she nodded and said, “Yes, I passed by the Imperial Garden in the morning on my way to the Medical Department.”

Nangong Ning’s heart move, looked at the Emperor, saying, “My emperor, Mei passed by the imperial garden, she must see me and princess. So she can prove that I did not give the princess poison.”

The emperor really didn’t think that Mei would go to the imperial garden. At this point, An Li asked urgently, “ Did you really pass the imperial garden, Mei?”

In fact, An Qing also did find Mei passed by the imperial garden, but Ning was also happy too early!

Mei said, “Yes, I did pass by the imperial garden.”

An Li’s eyelid jumped, her voice slightly sharp, saying, “That’s impossible!”
