"Empress Dowager …" Concubine Rong immediately crawled to the front of the empress dowager, tugging at her clothes as she begged, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, I beg of you to help Rong'er. Rong'er didn't poison the little prince at all, but Mu Feifei insisted that it was Rong'er who did it. How could Rong'er bear to poison the little prince?"

When the empress dowager heard this, she grew angry and glared at him. "Ze Xuan, have you ever seen anyone poison their own son? Do you not resent Rong'er because there is no one in the world, or are you so partial towards Mu Fei? "

"Muhou, it's the truth that mufei poisoned her. We won't wrongly accuse her for no reason. This girl can be used as a witness." With a twist of his finger, he pointed at Xiao Yu, who was immediately frightened and sprawled on the ground.

Only then did the empress dowager turn to Xiao Yu and begin to size her up. "Little girl, is what Your Majesty said true?"

"Yes, this servant didn't lie at all. This servant deserves to die, so the empress dowager threatened to poison the little prince. If esteemed empress dowager doesn't believe it, she can ask Xiao Cui. She was the one who gave the poison to this servant, this servant is innocent …"

When the empress dowager heard her words, she suddenly turned to Consort Rong and glared at her. "Rong'er, is what she said true?"

"No …" Majesty, don't believe the words of this little girl.

"Empress, if you dare to quibble again, I will send you to the dungeon to await your fourth trial!" Long Zhaosu reprimanded her in annoyance. Consort Rong immediately shut her mouth and stared at him in fear.

When the empress dowager saw that she didn't dare open her mouth to beg for mercy, she more or less saw through her thoughts. She stared at her in astonishment, and only after a long while did she let out a dissonant voice.

"Empress Dowager …" Concubine Rong felt guilty and could no longer hold on. She opened her mouth, but was unable to speak. She had been solemnly swearing just a moment ago, but now it was as if she had become a completely different person. She tightly bit her lips, contemplating how she should withstand the pressure.

"Rong'er, tell me honestly, did you do it?" The empress dowager's voice became more severe, her face full of anger. Concubine Rong was shocked by her sudden anger and finally couldn't hold on any longer. She kneeled on the ground and said, "Esteemed empress dowager, your majesty, Rong'er was wrong. Rong'er didn't mean to poison the little prince …"

Finally admitting it, Long Zhaofeng let out a cold snort and sneered, "You all said you didn't intentionally poison the little prince, then why? Why did you have to be so cruel to him? Empress, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Do you still want to keep it a secret? Do you want This Emperor to force you to tell the truth? "

"Your Majesty …" "Chenqie doesn't dare to hide it anymore …" Consort Rong cried bitterly. This moment had finally arrived. She'd always been afraid of this moment. Just as she had imagined, the emperor was furious. The empress dowager was also furious!

When he raised his head, he saw the victorious smile on Mu Fei's face. This was undoubtedly a great mockery to her. But at this time, she couldn't care about whether it was sarcastic or not. Her face was secondary, it was more important for her to stay alive.

Long Ze glared at her in displeasure. "Since you don't dare to hide it, why don't you quickly explain it to the empress dowager? "Let her know what kind of person the empress she's always pampered is."

The empress dowager's expression changed slightly as she gave Long Zhaofeng a quick glance. She could hear that Long Zhaofeng was very dissatisfied with how she had protected and protected Princess Rong in the past. All this while, she had always felt that protecting the little prince was natural, but today she couldn't think like this. Consort Rong was kneeling in front of her, crying her heart out. She had viciously harmed the little prince!

She lightly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Consort Rong, "Speak, what is it that you're hiding from me?"

"I …" Consort Rong was at a loss for words, but she still couldn't say anything. She had to tell the empress dowager who had been protecting her the entire time that the little prince hadn't been born by her, so did she want to poison him? How could she say that?

"Of course the empress can't say it." Mu Fei, who was standing at the side and had nothing to do with her, suddenly spoke up, "The empress stole Mu Chen's child, cut off Zhu Er's tongue, and even poisoned that esteemed guest in the Cold Palace to death. What kind of bloodthirsty and cruel matter is this that a woman shouldn't be able to do? How can she even open her mouth? "

She walked to the front of Rong Fei and stared at her coldly. She had vowed long ago that she would take revenge, even if it meant not taking revenge for herself for making Pearl turn into a mute for no reason at all. Pearl, who had always been by his side, risked her life, and the fine Pearl had just been turned into a mute by him like that!

The empress dowager sucked in a breath, feeling even more stunned. "What? The little prince wasn't born of you? "Then you …"

"The empress dowager …" Your Majesty, Rong'er had no choice but to do so. You really can't stay in that cold palace any longer. You really want to get out too much, that's why … "

She couldn't finish her sentence, so Long Zhaosu spoke up for her, "So you used a trick to injure Mu Fei and make Zhu'er mute? And then carry the little prince and act arrogantly in the harem? "

"Rong'er …" "Rong'er was wrong …" Consort Rong had nothing to say, so she had to kneel down and repent.

"You … "You actually did this?!" The empress dowager was too surprised. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at her. She had never thought that Imperial Concubine Rong would do such a malicious thing.

"Empress Dowager …" "Esteemed empress dowager, you have to save Rong'er! Rong'er knows he's done wrong and won't dare do anything wrong again!"

The empress dowager stepped back sadly and shook her head, "How do you want me to save you? After all these heinous things have been done, how do you expect me to save you? What face did he have to save him? If you bear the consequences of your own wrongdoings, I will definitely not care about your matters anymore. "

After the empress dowager finished speaking, she gave one last look of disappointment before shifting her gaze to Long Zhaoting and lamenting, "Ze Xuan, did you already know that the little prince wasn't born by the empress? But why did you never tell me? "

She finally understood why Long Zhaofeng insisted on leaving the little prince in Yun and Gong Yang's care. She thought that he was only doing this to curry favor with Mu Fei. It seemed like she had been blaming him all along.

"I already knew about it when Princess Changxin left home. I didn't tell Imperial Mother, but I didn't want Imperial Mother to be too sad. After all, it's still not time to make things big." Long Ze said.

The empress dowager nodded her head. Right now, it was not the right time to make this matter public. She had to let the Lin family know that the little crown prince was from the Mufei clan. She sighed helplessly and said apologetically, "Ze Chuan, apologize. It was always because Imperial Mother was too stupid in the past that I was tricked by Rong'er and protected her. In the future, Imperial Mother will no longer meddle in Rong'er's matters. Just decide how you want to deal with her this time around. "

"Thank you for mother's understanding." Long Ze bowed his head respectfully as he spoke. He breathed out in relief, but Imperial Concubine Rong was frightened. Her heart was burning as she cried out, "Empress Dowager, you can't just ignore Rong's life and death, Empress Dowager …"

The empress dowager looked at her with an expression of disappointment but didn't say anything else. She turned around and glanced at Lin Mufan before leaving. The corner of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say a single word as he walked out of the Cloud Palace.

Yun He and the palace were so quiet that only Consort Rong's cries could be heard. Long Zhe suddenly hugged Lin Mufan and said with a smile, "Mu Chen, I'll entrust this matter to you. You can handle it according to the palace's rules."

"Thank you, your majesty." Lin Mofan smiled and patted the tired Boss with his hand. His gaze drifted towards Rong Fei unintentionally. She naturally wouldn't be polite to this woman!

Imperial Concubine Rong had just been anxious for the empress dowager to throw herself at the emperor, but now she was being handed over to Lin Mufan to deal with. It would be strange if she wasn't scared to death. However, it was a little too difficult for her to kneel down and beg for mercy from Lin Mofan. For the time being, she was unable to do something so lacking in self-respect.

She could already imagine what would happen in the end if she were to throw her to Lin Mufan. It would definitely not be a good thing!

Consort Rong returned to the cold courtyard she had lived in for more than a year. She looked around at the desolate scenery and the simple clothing she wore. She truly wanted to die.

He collapsed and fell on the bluestone staircase, and his eyes were filled with shame as he stared blankly. She recalled the glory she had experienced during this period of time, and then she looked at the desolation in front of her. She couldn't accept the difference between life and death!

"Esteemed Empress Mu has arrived!" Following a series of loud noises from the door, Lin Mu Fan was escorted by a group of female servants and eunuchs as he slowly entered the courtyard. His noble and elegant appearance was really out of place with this place.

Consort Rong only raised her brow and glanced at her, then turned her face away. She no longer looked at her, and continued to sit expressionlessly on the green stone floor. She could imagine what Lin Mu Fan was here for. It was nothing more than showing off and smiling at her. That smile of his must be filled with contempt.

When Lin Mu Fan entered, he saw an empress dowager sitting on the steps in a daze. She slowly walked over with a smile and said, "Why isn't the empress sitting in the room? It's so uncomfortable sitting outside. "

That smile was just as smug as Rong Fei had expected. It was so smug that it made people's teeth itch. It made people want to rush over and beat her up.

Concubine Rong coldly frowned as she looked at her and said, "Lin Mu Chen, if the reason why you're here is to make these sarcastic remarks, then please scram. I don't want to hear your voice."

Lin Mu Fan smiled and pretended to lament, "Empress, do you think I will come? When the emperor told me to take care of this matter properly, I didn't dare to be slow. I rushed over early in the morning. "

Consort Rong didn't even want to raise her head to look at her proud little face. A few days ago, she had stood proudly in front of her and humiliated her. It had only been a few days, but her role had changed.

"What do you want?" Rong Fei asked impatiently, wishing she could leave right now.
