“What witness do you have?” Concubine Mei’s expression was still calm, and she asked calmly without being frightened at all.

Concubine Anli glanced to one side, and An Qing, who was standing in the distance, came forward knowingly, and said: “When I went to investigate, it was from a small palace person, Little An, that Concubine Mei had passed through the imperial garden. Little An could testify that Concubine Mei was on the stone path on the right side of the Royal Garden.”

“Little palace person? Little An? Can you call him to confront?” Concubine Mei still didn’t panic.

Concubine Anli’s face condensed, and Queen Xun also said at this time: “If this is the case, then bring the little palace man to testify. Just listening to An Qing with her mouth will not count.”

An Qing didn’t dare to refute the words of Queen Xun, so she responded in a low voice and went to find him.

Concubine Anli glanced at Concubine Mei faintly. She did not expect that Concubine Mei, whom she had never seen before, would actually bite her silently today.

However, Concubine Mei didn’t care about her eye-knife at all, as if she hadn’t seen it at all.

In this way, Concubine Anli’s heart was even more bored.

In fact, at this time, Nangong Ning was also a little uneasy. She guessed that Concubine Mei had seen her and could testify for her, but she underestimated Concubine Anli’s strategy.

In the harem, power could determine everything. Concubine Mei was not favored, and her rank was not as high as Concubine Anli. If Concubine An Li wanted to reverse black to white, it was not impossible.

Just like the little palace person An Qing was looking for now, she was sure that this little palace person was bought by Concubine Anli, and he would rather die than surrender. That would definitely kill her and Concubine Mei!

If this was the case, she really couldn’t think of how to respond at this time.

Just as Nangong Ning was tangled up, An Qing came with him.

He was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old eunuch, with a handsome appearance, but he seemed very courageous. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Fengtian Emperor and the others were there, and he fell on his knees in fright.

Fengtian Emperor asked directly: “Did you see Concubine Mei today?”

“I…I saw her.” The little palace man turned pale with fright, but insisted.

Fengtian Emperor couldn’t help but look at Concubine Mei. Although he didn’t dote on Concubine Mei, he was quite certain about Concubine Mei’s character, and there was no need for Concubine Mei to offend others for Nangong.

Concubine Mei noticed Fengtian Emperor’s gaze. Her expression was calm, but her lips were slightly bent, and she gave him a gentle smile.

Upon seeing this, Fengtian Emperor felt a little sure, then looked at the little palace man and asked, “Where did you see Concubine Mei?”

“That’s right, here…” The little palace man might be scared, so he stammered even more, and could not say it after a long time.

Concubine Anli saw this with an unhappy look on her face and couldn’t help looking at An Qing.

An Qing secretly nodded her head to her master, signaling her to rest assured that the little palace person was just courageous and had no other problems.

Concubine Anli’s expression slowed down.

At this time, other people’s thoughts were also different. Since the people were found by Concubine Anli, then this little palace person must be detrimental to Nangong Ning and Concubine Mei.

Queen Xun’s complexion didn’t look very good. She looked at Nangong Ning worriedly, and Nangong Ning also grabbed her heart. She managed to find a breakthrough to save herself. Unexpectedly, she was still a miss.

Next, how would she respond?

At this time, the man finally swallowed his saliva and said the rest.

“I saw Concubine Mei on… the Linglong Baiyu Bridge not far from Baihuayuan.”

“What?!” It was Concubine Anli who made the sound with her face full of shock, staring at the little palace man in disbelief.

An Qing was also dumbfounded.

Nangong Ning was a little confused, Linglong Baiyu Bridge? She didn’t know where it was, but obviously, the place that the little palace man said was not what Concubine Anli wanted him to say!

“Little An, what nonsense are you talking about? You told me that you saw Empress Mei on the small gravel road on the right side of the Royal Garden!” An Qing couldn’t help but screamed.

How could this Little An turn around temporarily? !

Little An shook as he was roared. Queen Xun said in a cold voice, “An Qing, even if the imperial concubine indulges you, but this is Fengyu Palace, you dare to be so ignorant?”

An Qing reacted all of a sudden, and she actually yelled aloud in front of the emperor. She knelt down with a thump, but she didn’t dare to speak.

Concubine Anli’s face tightened. Empress Xun’s did not dare to scold An Qing, and not even to drag her.

She said, dissatisfied: “The emperor, this slave is not right. He had told An Qing.”

Fengtian Emperor didn’t immediately believe Concubine Anli. His face was heavy and he didn’t speak.

Queen Xun said coldly: “The imperial concubine must ask him to say that he was satisfied when he saw Concubine Mei on a small gravel road?”

“But he clearly said that before!” Concubine Anli said loudly.

Queen Xun sneered and said, “Noble Concubine, pay attention to your manners.”

Concubine Anli was so angry that she was about to explode, but she could only endure it at this time.

Queen Xun looked at Little An and asked, “Little An, the concubine said you lied, what do you say?”

“Back, back to the queen, it is precisely because I dare not lie that I will tell the truth.” Little An said tremblingly.

Queen Xun suddenly heard that something was wrong, and her phoenix eyes lit up and asked: “You dare not lie. Did someone tell you to lie?”

Little An didn’t speak, but just glanced at An Qing’s direction in fear. An Qing was startled and realized that it was not good. However, before she could react, Little An said: “I dare not hide you before… An Qing gaveme an ingot of gold, let me…”

Little An said, really took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, put it in front, and then knocked to the ground, not daring to look up.

An Qing’s pupils suddenly enlarged, staring at Little An in shock.

She gave Little An gold, but how dare he?

“The servants of Lihua Palace are really generous!” A hint of delight flashed in Queen Xun’s eyes, and said coldly and ironically.

Concubine An Li’s face trembled, and she did not expect that things would turn out like this. None of the people present at this time were idiots. They must have understood the whole story at once. What would she do now?

Fengtian Emperor slapped the imperial case with a 'slap”, making Concubine Anli’s face suddenly white.

“Concubine, what’s the matter, why would your people buy a little eunuch and ask him to lie?”

“I…I…” Concubine Anli didn’t know how to explain at once. She knelt down with a plop.

Concubine Anli had already turned her mind at this time, raised her face, already in tears, she cried: “Emperor, I am for Qingle!”

“Concubine, are you still talking about the princess at this time?” Queen Xun couldn’t help but despise Concubine An Li. At this time, she actually used her daughter to block arrows.

Concubine Anli ignored Queen Xun’s anger, but she was crying at the Fengtian Emperor, “I thought it was the poison of Nangong, but she was very cunning. I didn’t want her to excuse and make her easy, so I did that. Emperor, I am just too angry, Qingle, she is your only princess, she is unparalleled, but someone has harmed her like this. I really can’t stand it!”

Nangong Ning had to say that at this time she wanted to applaud Concubine Anli. Although she said this shamelessly, it was “reasonable”. Just imagine a mother who loved her daughter so much that she would naturally do everything for her.

Even doing something shameful was understandable; at least no one would have thought that her mother was the real poisoner.

Sure enough, Emperor Fengtian heard the weeping words of Concubine Anli, his face also moved slightly, and he sighed: “You are so confused! I asked my brother to investigate this matter. You are still doing this kind of thing in the middle, do you think it is useful?”

Concubine Anli was an extremely winking person. At this time, she just covered her face and wept and didn’t say much. It was enough to earn Emperor Fengtian’s pity.

Empress Xun looked so angry, but she couldn’t do anything. She looked at Nangong Ning, but at this time Nangong Ning was surprised by another thing.

Fengtian Emperor actually asked Jun Qianye to investigate the matter, and he also took it?

Was he doing this for her, or because he couldn’t refuse?

Nangong Ning thought it for a moment, and thought it might be the latter.

But… she looked at Mei Concubine, Mei Concubine looked calm, and when she noticed her gaze, she curled her lips slightly.

It seemed that this Little An was Jun Qianye’s “masterpiece”. After all, the palace people who received An Qing’s gold didn’t dare to betray, because An Qing was behind Concubine Anli, and Concubine Anli was also extremely powerful in the harem. Unless, Jun Qianye shot.

Jun Qianye certainly didn’t mean to fight Concubine Anli, nor could it be for her, it must be because he received the imperial order and had to do it.

It was just that he has to be very efficient.

Nangong Ning’s heart was very complicated at this time, because she found that she hoped that Jun Qianye would do it for her, but she could only warn herself not to be self-righteous!

She tried her best to calm her mind, retracted her gaze, looked at Fengtian Emperor, and asked in a clear voice: “The emperor, can you testify for the courtiers now?”

Fengtian Emperor twisted his eyebrows, nodded, and looked at Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei understood, stepped forward, and said: “The emperor, in fact, I do not know anything, but when I went to the Imperial Medical Office today, I thought that there was a flowering tree in the imperial garden. The flower can be dried and soaked in water soothing the nerves. I wanted to use it for my son, so I walked to the vicinity of Baihuayuan, and then I heard the princess’s laughter from a distance. I felt very cute and innocent, and walked over with her heart. Who knew…”

Concubine Mei’s tone suddenly stopped, and Concubine Anli, who was still sobbing softly, jumped in her heart. She hurriedly looked at her, and she vaguely felt that Concubine Mei might be more than just a casual bite!
