Chapter 653: Grateful to the Virtuous Concubine (107 million votes plus additional content)

"I have always followed your instructions. Now that something has happened, you can't just ignore me..."

Doukou was almost crying, but she didn't know how to refute. She could only glare at Zi'er and say, "What nonsense!"

"I have never said such words to you, let alone instructed you to murder the Third Prince!"

"You have gone to great lengths to throw dirty water on me. What is your purpose?!"

Zi'er said nothing, just kept crying and shaking her head...

Now not only Doukou, but even Dunpin's face looked a little gloomy.

But she was not blinded by anger. She knelt at Nangong Xuanyu's feet, looked up at him, and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, everyone in the palace knows that I was just a noble who was not favored by the emperor. It was because I was lucky enough to raise the third prince that I was promoted to the position of the head of the first palace."

"To be realistic... all the wealth and glory I have obtained comes from the Third Prince. If something happens to the Third Prince, will I be able to get away with it?"

"How could he put the cart before the horse and allow someone close to him to murder the Third Prince?"

I don’t know how many people are jealous of Concubine Dun’s good luck, and now that she is in trouble, they all want to step on her.

One of them covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, saying sarcastically, "Yes. That's why Concubine Dun saved the Third Prince in time and prevented him from getting hurt."

"First, the wealth and glory you have obtained will not be lost; second, you can show His Majesty how good you are to the Third Prince."

"Poor Third Prince, he lost his biological mother and a foster mother, and his new foster mother is also unkind..."

Concubine Dun wanted to explain something.

But Nangong Xuanyu didn't trust Concubine Dun in the first place, so how could he believe what she said? He immediately said, "Drag Doukou and Zi'er to the Ministry of Punishment and make them tell the truth!"

The eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment stepped forward immediately and said, “Yes!”

Seeing that everything was developing in the direction he wanted. In the crowd, one person's lips curled up in an imperceptible arc.

Shen Zhinian already had a rough guess in his mind after seeing this.

Xiao Zhouzi had discovered before that Zi'er took advantage of everyone's attention being focused here and sneaked into Doukou's room.

I guess it was at that time that she put the knockout drug and the powder that could drive animals crazy into it.

Not surprisingly, Zi'er must have been bribed by someone else a long time ago. The purpose was to make everyone think today that Concubine Dun would do anything to gain favor, even taking advantage of the third prince who had just turned one year old.

Such a big incident happened at the third prince’s first birthday party.

Once this crime is proven, Concubine Dun will inevitably lose custody of the third prince.

She was promoted because of the Third Prince. Now that she had lost the qualification to raise the Third Prince, she could no longer be a concubine.

By then, Nangong Xuanyu will no longer look at her and may even punish her.

The fact that Concubine Dun was schemed against like this proves that she is incompetent. Empress Dowager Liu and Duke Dingguo's Mansion will also regard her as an abandoned child.

Shen Zhinian's heart sank slightly.

The person behind the scenes was really good at using tricks. With one move, he deposed Concubine Dun and also muddied the waters in the harem.

Because once the third prince loses his adoptive mother, he will inevitably cause competition among people.

Obviously, Concubine Dun also understood the consequences, and her beautiful face suddenly turned extremely pale...

Who wants to harm her? !

Looking at Zi'er and Doukou being dragged away by the eunuchs from the Ministry of Punishment, a hint of contemplation flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes.

Should we take care of this matter?

Although Concubine Dun and she are in the enemy camp, the open enemy is not scary.

What’s scary is that there’s a poisonous snake hiding in the dark that might pop out and bite her at any time!

What's more, Shen Zhinian is in charge of the six palaces. If anything happens in the harem, she will be held responsible unless the truth is found out.

If this wild cat really lived in the cold palace originally, the person behind the scenes would most likely use this to plot against her after plotting against Concubine Dun.

Shen Zhinian doesn't like the feeling that the enemy is in the dark and she is in the light.

After some thought, she called out to the eunuch from the Ministry of Punishment: "Wait a minute!"

The eunuch immediately stopped and looked at Shen Zhinian in confusion.

Everyone's eyes fell on her.

Princess Yun'an frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes.

She had an arrogant and domineering personality, and what she disliked most was enchanting and charming women who looked like concubines.

Although Shen Zhinian has the majesty of a favored concubine, she looks exactly like the evil concubine who brings disaster to the country in a storybook!

It's fine that Concubine Xian usually confuses the emperor, but when the third prince was almost killed, she also wants to interfere?

However, Princess Yun'an did not show her displeasure even though she was concerned about her brother's favor for Concubine Xian.

Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian and asked gently, "Does Concubine Xian have anything to say?"

Shen Zhinian nodded: "I did find something."

Receiving her eye signal, Xiao Zhouzi took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I just discovered that a palace maid was acting suspiciously, so I reported it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty asked me to follow her quietly."

"That maid was Zi'er. I saw with my own eyes that she quietly entered Doukou's room and came out after a while."

"As for these two packets of powder, whether she took the opportunity to put them in, I don't know..."

Zi'er obviously didn't expect that there would be witnesses to what she did, and her eyes suddenly became flustered...

Doukou seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and quickly said, "I am innocent! I am really innocent!"

"There is a witness! Your Majesty, you must believe me!"

Although Concubine Dun was somewhat surprised that Shen Zhinian would speak for her, she seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhou who is beside Concubine Xian saw with his own eyes that Doukou was framed by Zi'er!"

"It can be seen that this scheme was set up. Even if they could not murder the Third Prince, they would make me jump into the Yellow River to clear my name. Their intentions are worthy of death!"

Now that things have come to this, what else is there that people don’t understand?

Although Nangong Xuanyu's doubts were not completely eliminated, the look in his eyes when he looked at Concubine Dun was no longer as cold as before.

He turned to look at Zi'er and said coldly: "Everyone was here just now, concerned about the safety of the Third Prince and the injury of Concubine Dun."

"As a maid of the Yikun Palace, why did you leave quietly and go to Doukou's room?!"

Zi'er glanced at the crowd in panic, then quickly looked away: "Your servant... Your servant..."

She hesitated, unable to come up with a perfect excuse.

The emperor said angrily, "Come here, drag this lying slave away for strict interrogation!"

"Yes!"

This time, no one stopped him.

Doukou had a close call with death and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Shen Zhinian with gratitude in her eyes.

Fortunately, the eunuch beside Concubine Xian saw it.

What was even more rare was that the virtuous concubine and her own queen did not belong to the same camp. At this time, she was willing to stand up and tell the truth.
