The one who is resting is you

  Everyone turned around and immediately knelt down: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager live for a thousand years, a thousand years, ten thousand years!"

  I also followed the trend and knelt down. In my heart, I secretly scolded Rui Yin princess who was still unconscious at this moment: She has the Empress Dowager as her backing, how could I almost forget?

  "Be calm."

  "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

  Lin Xuan took a step forward: "I don't know what brought Her Majesty the Empress Dowager here suddenly?"

  "Today is Li Wan's birthday. I specially invited Ping'er to come over and celebrate together. Because of something, I let Ping'er arrive first, but as soon as she arrived, she heard the conversation between you and the imperial physician. In my opinion, you are harboring resentment in your heart and intentionally trying to harm her."

  Lin Xuan's face slightly smiled: "Empress Dowager and He, why did you say this?"

  The empress dowager's cold eyes pierced Lin Xiangyan: "Your discord with Ping'er is well-known to everyone, no need for me to say the reason!"

  "What the Empress said, I and Princess Rui Yin are just not on good terms, probably not yet to the point of harming each other."

  "Don't try to be evasive, how then can you explain Ping'er's poisoning in Hengwu Palace?"

  "The Empress's words are a major flaw. If I had intentionally harmed her, how could I have let the Princess suffer from poisoning in the Xinsnow Palace? In the end, wouldn't I be suspected?"

  "Hum! You are indeed sharp-tongued, Empress!" The Empress Dowager was momentarily speechless, and could only fling her sleeve in anger, saying.

  Lin Xuan's expression didn't change: "Thanks to Empress Dowager's praise."

  "You don't tell the truth, the eunuchs and palace maids of Xue Palace will definitely tell the truth. Come on, summon all the palace maids who were present just now in Xue Palace."

  "Empress Dowager, you don't have to exert yourself too much. On Lian'er's birthday, I didn't want too many people serving her, so I had all the attendants in Xinsnow Palace transferred out."

  The empress dowager was extremely unwilling at this time, and did not want to lose face, so she had to say: "Can't see, can at least hear?"

  Soon, several palace maids at the gate were all summoned over.

  "I ask you all, when the princess's poison broke out, did any of you hear anything unusual?"

  "Go back to what the princess said." One of the bold palace maids bowed her head and said, "We servants didn't hear anything. When the princess was poisoned, I only heard the prime minister's wife ask about the situation with great concern."

  "Prime Minister's wife?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, I stepped forward: "Your servant is here."

  "Is this true?"

  "After returning to the Empress's words, at that time when Princess Rui Yin arrived, there was no prior notification, so the Empress did not arrange for the princess's meal. She ordered me to prepare it temporarily. I hastily prepared what was left of the persimmons and sweet potatoes from before and presented them to the princess. Then, I wanted to order the imperial kitchen to re-prepare the princess's meal. Unexpectedly, soon after, the princess suffered food poisoning. I dare to guarantee with my life that this matter has nothing to do with the Empress."

  "I think you are all in cahoots! Deceiving me!" The Empress Dowager was repeatedly frustrated, her anger burning.

  "Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is appeased!" Everyone knelt down in a flurry.

  "Hum! I don't care if it's reasonable or not, in any case, since Ping'er was involved in the incident at Xue Palace, I must get to the bottom of it! Guards, take the Empress into custody and await my further instructions!"

  "Yes!" Several guards stepped forward immediately.

  "What are you doing? Don't hurt my mother!" Liang'er stepped forward to protect Lin Xuan-yu behind her. I glanced sideways and saw Qi'er sneaking out of the palace, and when he saw me looking at him, he made a silencing gesture with his hand.

  I nodded, so it was going to fetch reinforcements!

  "I am the Empress, and if the Dowager Empress does not have solid evidence, she cannot touch me in the slightest!"

  "My lord says you are guilty, and so you are! Guards, take him away!"

  Lin Xuan didn't want to be controlled by the Empress Dowager, so she retreated step by step. In the chaos, someone pushed her, and she lost her balance, stumbling backwards. Her head hit the corner of the table just right. With a cry of surprise from the crowd, Lin Xuan's body slowly slid down, and the blood flowing from the back of her head spread out instantly.

  It's finally over, just a few hours ago, I still remembered that I said I would quit the online literature world if I didn't finish it. The ending is like this, and I'll come back to modify some sentences later, but the framework is already set, I guess I've fulfilled my promise~ I'm so happy that I finally kept my word! Don't say it's a bad ending QAQ, I'll come back and revise it to make it more elegant, and some descriptions were too abrupt... It was also very rushed, and the reason for the hiatus is because school has been in session all along, otherwise I wouldn't have ended it so abruptly.
