Chu Lian continued, "The Empress said if she wanted to get rid of the child, she wouldn't be foolish enough to use someone from her own side. This must be my sister trying to frame her by deliberately using someone from her entourage."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang thought the Empress's words made sense. So, what exactly was going on? Could it really be that her sister wanted to send the child away? But wouldn't having a child by her side further solidify her position in the palace? Why send the child away?
She asked in confusion, "Did the Emperor believe it?"
Chu Lian shook his head, "Such a big issue can't be judged solely by the Empress's words. Besides, there is no evidence of my sister connecting with someone from the Empress's circle, so she can't be convicted."
"Then..."
"The reason the Emperor put my sister under house arrest is mainly because the Empress revealed a secret that made the Emperor think my sister had the motive to send the child away."
