She betrayed me?

"Your majesty, chenqie is speaking the truth. Your majesty, please believe chenqie." Zheng Ziyi cried like rain.

"With all these realities laid out in front of us, how can I trust you?" If I was protecting you, wouldn't I be the most foolish person in the world? In reality, you're just using your drunkenness to return to the palace, yet you summoned such a young imperial physician at such a late hour. What a bitch! "You might be thinking about everything, but I didn't know that tonight we would be coming out to celebrate in the Imperial Gardens instead of in the palace."

The Emperor spoke one word at a time, clearly understanding everything. It was exactly what the empress and the others wanted.

"Your Majesty, look, chenqie has really twisted her legs." Zheng Ziyi could not help but kneel and crawl over, revealing his ankle.

Unfortunately, because it had only been a short time, the imperial physician had saved it in time. Other than a slight redness, there wasn't even a hint of purple or green to be seen.

It would have been better if Zheng Ziyi had not been lifted up. Now that the emperor had seen it, he was even more furious.

"Bitch, to think that I doted on you so much, you actually did such a disgraceful thing, today I'm going to take your life." As the Emperor said this, he already went up to the guards and was about to drag Zheng Ziyi out.

"Your Majesty! Your majesty! "Why don't you believe in chenqie, your majesty!" Zheng Ziyi screamed as she crazily pushed aside the guards.

"Wu, wu, wu …" At this moment, a little girl suddenly walked over from the side hall, and couldn't stop herself from crying. So this was Zheng Ziyi's child.

"Child, my good child, I've frightened you. Don't cry, don't cry." Zheng Ziyi immediately went up to hug the Little Princess, and unceasingly shed tears.

When the emperor saw this scene, he thought back to the time when they loved each other. Although the evidence was conclusive, the emperor was still a bit skeptical. So after thinking for a while, she finally changed her words: "You are disrespectful, messing around in the palace. From today onwards, you are confined to the Purple Jade Palace and cannot be served by anyone. This is your cold palace. "

Mu Zheng stood up and walked out.

When the empress and the rest saw that the emperor had left, their expressions of worry vanished as well. All of them turned to gloating. This Zheng Ziyi was too arrogant and complacent previously, so amongst all the consorts, not a single one actually sympathized for her.

"It's you, and you, and all of you, these bastards, thinking you can't frame me." Zheng Ziyi pointed at the empress, Leng Rumei, and each and every one of their concubines, hatefully cursing without restraint.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have such a day." A concubine mocked.

"That's right, it really is a cycle of mountains and rivers. I never thought that such a proud Consort Zheng would have such a day. It's like the heavens have opened their eyes." The other concubines also joined in, exchanging sarcastic remarks.

"It would be a pity if she were to think about it this way. There's no need for you to say anything, you can all leave now. " The Queen used the silk handkerchief to cover her nose and coughed lightly as she spoke to the other imperial concubines.

"The Empress is truly magnanimous. This Zheng Ziyi was so rude to her in the past and she is still speaking up for her now." The concubines couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Every one of them believed in the Queen's benevolence. Only Leng Rumei laughed coldly and followed after.

"I know, what happened today was done by you. You must have framed me, right?" Zheng Ziyi was hysterical. He didn't expect himself to be caught off guard and fall into their trap.

The Empress fiddled with the phoenix hairpin on her head and looked at Zheng Ziyi with contempt, "What have I done?

The empress rolled her eyes at Zheng Ziyi: "Don't think that I don't know, you and that Mu Lingfeng have been at loggerheads for a long time. Today, the Emperor only saw you and an imperial physician and you're already so angry. If he knew about you and his son … Hahaha, my good sister, what do you think will happen to him? "

The Queen looked at Zheng Ziyi viciously as she spread out her five fingers and squeezed them tightly, as if she was about to crush something.

"You are slandering me. I am loyal to the emperor without a single ounce of hesitation. "You're just guessing." Zheng Ziyi stood up and ruthlessly pushed the Queen.

The Queen retreated, almost falling to the ground. She steadied herself and suddenly became furious, walking straight towards Zheng Ziyi and slapping him twice: "How dare you push me!"

"If you have evidence, why didn't you inform the emperor directly? Is there even a need to put on such a show today?" Zheng Ziyi covered her face and suddenly laughed sinisterly.

"I didn't, but someone did. Speaking of which, I have to thank her. If it wasn't for her offering me that plan, I wouldn't be able to cure a little slut like you." The empress didn't lose her composure and laughed as well.

The empress recalled that when she was late earlier, Zheng Ziyi had used the time when he was not at the palace to send someone to place a lot of thin and thin moss on her steps. Taking advantage of the dark night, Zheng Ziyi didn't see it when he returned.

Afterwards, she ordered her men to hide in the shadows, to make sure that Zheng Ziyi had slipped before quickly going over to where Leng Rumei was.

Zheng Ziyi accidentally fell and twisted her leg. She shouted for the imperial physician to come and treat him.

The Queen had long thought of this, so she had bestowed a plate of Litchi to the Imperial Physician Zhang for him to eat as early as yesterday. Imperial Physician Zhang quickly got sick after eating the Litchi that had been tampered with. He could only call his disciple, Imperial Physician Liang, as his duty.

The empress and Leng Rumei calculated the time and heard the palace maid come to report to the empress. When they heard that the imperial physician had already left for the Purple Jade Palace, they had conversed with each other, with the emperor already on his way to the imperial garden.

The emperor naturally had his suspicions as he saw this. He'd sent guards to keep an eye on them, thus achieving the purpose of the empress's plan.

Mu Lingfeng naturally saw the guards surrounding Zheng Ziyi's palace.

All of this was intertwined and arranged seamlessly. One stone, two birds. Even though the emperor crippled Zheng Ziyi, the Third Prince no longer trusted Zheng Ziyi. Other than Xue Shaoli, no one would have thought of such a ruthless and close-combat tactic.

"Ah, it's her, Xue Shaoli!" Zheng Ziyi immediately realized who this person was. Her eyes widened, and she clenched her fist tightly. Her long nails dug into her own flesh.

He hadn't thought that she would disregard the third prince's grand plans, disregard his own importance, and work with the empress and the others, using them to borrow a knife to kill. She already knew that Xue Shaoli couldn't stand her, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious in order to take revenge. Could it be that he wasn't afraid of harming the Third Prince?

"You stole her man, yet you still show off your strength. Even if I were a woman, I still wouldn't be able to tolerate your slutty fox spirit." The queen said, spat, and left with an evil smile.

"Xue Shaoli!" Zheng Ziyi raised her head and roared towards the roof.

When the empress heard this, she smiled sinisterly and said, Let them fight amongst themselves. She was purposely letting Zheng Ziyi know that it was Xue Shaoli.

Unfortunately, Xue Shaoli could not hear her. She was dressed very beautifully, waiting for his husband, Mu Lingfeng, to come back. Mu Lingfeng quickly returned to his residence.

He was so busy that his clothes didn't even change. His handsome face was covered in sweat.

When Xue Shaoli heard that Mu Lingfeng had returned, she immediately went to welcome him.

"You're back?"

Looking at Mu Lingfeng's gloomy face, she knew that their plan had succeeded.

Mu Lingfeng was so angry that he sat at his teahouse, quickly pouring himself a cup of hot tea. Mu Ying took a sip of the tea. Suddenly, he smacked the table hard with his hand, shocking Xue Shaoli so much that he trembled.

"What's wrong, Third Prince?" Xue Shaoli stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Are you lying to me?!" Mu Lingfeng's gloomy tone was mixed with a cold wind.

"Where did this come from?" Xue Shaoli was shocked, she then calmly put down the teapot and asked.

"Did Zheng Ziyi really come to deliver the message yesterday?" Mu Lingfeng warned.

Xue Shaoli lowered her head and said: "This matter, ah, she really did send people over, and it was Liu Xu who went over to see her. How could I? How could I lie to you? This is what Liu Xu told me personally. " Xue Shaoli said with certainty.

"Besides, I know how important this Zheng Ziyi is to you. How would I harm her?" Xue Shaoli said against his own heart.

The hall fell silent.

"You didn't lie to me? You didn't lie to me, why are there a group of guards surrounding Zheng Ziyi's palace? " Mu Lingfeng shouted in anger.

Xue Shaoli turned pale with fright. "Impossible, Zheng Ziyi was the one who informed you to go to her palace to find her tonight!" After saying that, she swallowed hard and knelt down. With a trembling voice, she said, "Do you still not know how loyal I am to you?"

Mu Lingfeng stared at Xue Shaoli who was kneeling on the ground, and finally sighed, and said: "Stand up, I don't doubt you, I am only … …" She already lost Zheng Ziyi as a helper, she couldn't afford to lose Xue Shaoli at this time.

"You can't believe that Zheng Ziyi betrayed you right?" Xue Shaoli mustered his courage and said.

"..." A trace of doubt rose in Mu Lingfeng's heart, did Zheng Ziyi really betray him? He could not come to a conclusion yet. Maybe someone wanted to set a trap for her.

Xue Shaoli whispered at the side: "It's hard to predict. Who knows if Zheng Ziyi will go for the emperor's side? After all, she was the Emperor's pillow boy. If the emperor wants to harm you, through Zheng Ziyi … "

Mu Lingfeng angrily swept the teacup to the ground. With a loud "bang", the hall fell into silence again, and Xue Shaoli didn't even dare to make a sound.

"If she dares to betray me … The result is death. " Mu Lingfeng's gloomy voice came out from the hall.

Xue Shaoli looked at Mu Lingfeng's handsome face and couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. If one day she was found out about betraying him, he would probably be skinned alive.
