Ah Nan trembled and bit her lip. "No, but… Today, Noble Consort Lin's body smells of perfumed powder..."
"I only used a fragrant powder, not poison… Your Majesty, you have to do justice on my behalf."
Noble Consort Lin kneeled in panic. Her beautiful face looked miserable and pitiful.
Qi Fang sighed and turned to the empress. "Empress, there must be a misunderstanding. Noble Consort Lin didn't go near Qin'er. It was not her..."
The empress did not speak.
Qi Fang continued, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and..."
Before he could finish his sentences, the empress had already pulled Qi Qin'er's hand and walked to the room, slamming it shut.
This matter was definitely related to Noble Consort Lin, but the emperor had made it clear that he would not do justice for the empress. Although she was the empress, she did not have much power and could only rely on the emperor's favor to support her in the palace.
