The Queen's expression did not change when she heard Madam Li's "sincere feelings".

It was only until the Madam Li stopped that she said, "These are just your words. I can't possibly find out who the culprits are in order. Do you have any evidence?"

Madam Li immediately said: "Although this subject does not have any evidence, someone saw Eldest Young Miss pushing the Empress into the water."

"Reporting to the Empress, this servant was following by her side at that time. I coincidentally saw that for some reason, the Miss An had suddenly moved closer to the Imperial Noble Consort and pushed her down."

The empress nodded slightly. "Imperial Noble Consort Li still hasn't woken up? We should always listen to her, the victim. "

When the two words "victim" came out, Madam Li's face revealed a hint of faint joy.

Look, the empress had already said that the Imperial Noble Consort Li was the victim, so she definitely believed their words.

Madam Li who was immersed in joy did not realise that the empress's eyes flashed with ridicule.

A moment later, Imperial Noble Consort Li finally woke up, "Sister." She looked at Madam Li, tears rolling down her beautiful face, adding an even more charming touch.

"I almost lost you." The beauty cried sorrowfully, as if she had gone through a life or death crisis.

Madam Li also cooperated with her acting. The two sisters talked for a long time, occasionally mentioning An Lingge, the "main culprit".

Only after a while did Imperial Noble Consort Li raise her head and look at the Queen at the side, then hurriedly said, "I didn't know that the Empress would come, to think that chenqie would neglect my elder sister, quickly show me your seat!"

The empress didn't look at her flawless acting, but only asked gently, "Your palace sent out female servants saying that you were pushed into the water by the Miss An. Is that true?"

"It's not her fault." Imperial Noble Consort Li lowered her eyes, "It was because Chenqie wasn't standing well, that Miss An pushed her a little and she fell into the lake."

While she was saying this, she didn't blame An Lingge, but she knew that An Lingge had pushed her and caused her to fall into the water.

The empress looked at Imperial Noble Consort Li with her dignified gaze and asked again, "In that case, did the Miss An really push the Imperial Noble Consort into the water?"

Imperial Noble Consort Li nodded, "Chenqie felt someone push her. At that time, Miss An was standing beside Chenqie."

Maybe she realized that she said the wrong thing, Imperial Noble Consort Li hurriedly changed her words, "But Miss An must have it unintentional, I hope that Big Sis does not blame her."

"How can this be?" The Madam Li scolded her harshly as she turned to look at the Queen. "There are so many people standing at Brightheart Lake, why didn't she push you down?"

"As I see it, First Miss is deliberately plotting to kill you. To dare to harm Imperial Noble Consort in a place like the palace, young miss must hold a grudge against me, that's why she decided to vent her anger on you! "

The Madam Li spoke a few words and acted as if she was concerned about her sister before pleading with the empress. "Esteemed empress, logically speaking Eldest Miss is the direct daughter of Prince An's Palace, as her concubine, I shouldn't blame her."

She paused, her expression furious. "But eldest young mistress actually wanted to kill this subject's younger sister. Such malevolence and malicious intent! This subject really can't endure it any longer. May esteemed empress take charge of this subject's affairs!"

One of them was singing "red face" and the other "black face", making An Lingge sound like a cruel and merciless person.

The empress glanced at Madam Li, then said, "If the truth is as it is, Miss An will naturally be punished."

Her dignified gaze looked at An Lingge, "Miss An, even Imperial Noble Consort Li said that you pushed her into the water, do you have anything to say?"

An Lingge saw the profoundness in her eyes and replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "Reporting to the Empress, the one who pushed Imperial Noble Consort Li into the water was not this subject's daughter, the culprit was someone else."

"Oh, then Miss An, tell me, who is the culprit?" The Queen looked at An Lingge calmly, her tone still unchanged.

An Lingge looked at Madam Li, "The culprit is Imperial Noble Consort Li's older sister, Madam Li!"

"First Miss, don't you dare slander us!" Madam Li shouted, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance, "I am the blood sister of the Imperial Noble Consort's Empress, how could I possibly cause her to fall into the water? Even if the young miss is anxious to get rid of her crimes, she can't pin them on me. "

"Aunt, don't be in such a hurry to defend yourself." An Lingge looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "At that time, only Imperial Noble Consort Li stood by the Brightheart Lake. You, the three of us, and the palace maids stood three steps away from her.

The Madam Li nodded her head as if she did not understand, and An Lingge continued, "That is to say, only the two of us can cause the Imperial Noble Consort Li to fall into the water. Of course, the Imperial Noble Consort Li can also jump in by herself."

"How could the Queen of Imperial Noble Consort jump down herself, just to frame you?" The Madam Li looked at An Lingge sarcastically, but she was actually feeling weak in her heart.

An Lingge went along with her words, "According to Aunt's words, it should be one of us, pushing Imperial Noble Consort Li into the water."

The Queen looked at An Lingge and asked, "Could this be the evidence from the Miss An?"

"This subject only said that since Aunt and I are suspicious, then Aunt said that this subject was the one who pushed Imperial Noble Consort Li into the water. This subject can naturally be said to be the one who pushed Imperial Noble Consort Li into the water." "As for that palace maid, she is standing three steps away from me. How can you clearly see that the one pushing Imperial Noble Consort Li into the water is me or my aunt?"

"That makes sense, but the Miss An doesn't have any evidence either, right?" The empress was unmoved. "If the Miss An can't produce evidence to prove her innocence, I can't let you off so easily."

"This subject's daughter has no proof." An Lingge's expression did not change as he changed the topic, "But this subject can prove her innocence."

An Lingge pointed at the Imperial Noble Consort Li, her voice clear and melodious, "Empress, please look. What Imperial Noble Consort Li is wearing today is a material made from Sky Worm Silk, which is extremely light and thin.

The empress's gaze fell on the fabric made of Sky Worm Silk, and a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of her eyes.

She only had one silk brocade on the Mo Bei, but Imperial Noble Consort Li was able to make her own clothes.

Although she thought this way, the empress did not reveal it on the surface. "What does Miss An want to say, why not say it directly."

An Lingge laughed, "The purple colored dyeing technique was discovered half a year ago, so it's not perfect. This purplish red dress is the last to be placed in a damp place, or it will cause a slight loss of color. It just so happened that Imperial Noble Consort Li stayed at the place with the water vapor spreading from the lake for half a quarter of an hour. His purple jacket had already lost its color, so the empress might as well take a look and see if the empress has purple on her hands. "

Madam Li was shocked upon hearing this and subconsciously hid her hands behind her back.

All in all, one miscalculation.
