Xia Jiao rushed over and slapped Su Ru's face. After a crisp sound, Su Ru's face swelled up and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth."You b * tch, you actually slandered me! Hurry up and drag her out!"
This time, before the replay could speak, the Queen stopped him first."Kneel down! You're so domineering in front of me. I really don't know how arrogant you will be in front of others!”
Xia Jiao pouted and unwillingly knelt beside Zhong Yan."Xia Jiao knows her mistake…but that little b * tch slandered me!”
"Won't you know soon whether I'm slandering you or not?”The Empress spoke indifferently and did not look at her.”
Su Ru covered her face in grievance, but was a dying person afraid of such things?"Three years ago, Lily found me and gave me a small bag of powder. She told me to add a fingernail's worth of powder into the Empress 'powder box on the first day of every month when I was cleaning. The fragrance of the Empress' powder assailed my nose, and no one would notice it. When the Queen was deeply poisoned, even if others noticed, they would not say anything.”
Zhong Yan knew that she was telling the truth, but she was not satisfied.""But why did you agree to do those things? You'll lose your head!”
" Beheading..." Su Ru smiled desolately and said to the Empress," Su Ru entered the palace twelve years ago. She was used to seeing beheading in the palace and was not afraid of beheading. However, Su Ru still cherished her cheap life." However, Lily said that as long as I do it, my family will be able to live comfortably…Su Ru is doing this for her family. It's not worth it!”
Zhong Yan stood up angrily, her petite body standing in front of Su Ru and reprimanding,""Your family is human! Are my family not human? You hurt my mother for your family. What are your intentions?”
Su Ru's face became paler and paler." Fourth Princess, forgive me…forgive me…" She suddenly struggled to stand up and pointed at Xia Jiao who was kneeling." But she doesn't care about her family!" Why should Su Ru care?"
Xia Jiao's expression was utterly defeated, and her lips were trembling so much that she could not speak. Looking at the Empress's gloomy expression, she hurriedly pounced to her feet and hugged her legs."Mother! Mother, it wasn't me! She wronged me! It was Chong Yan! It was Zhong Yan and that cheap servant who ganged up to frame me! I didn't! I didn't ask Lily to poison it!"
Chong Yan knelt down again and faced the Empress.""Mother, please let Lily in."
Xia Jiao glared at Zhong Yan, but Zhong Yan ignored her.
The Empress nodded. Lily walked to the center of the chamber and knelt down.""Lily greets the Queen."
Her face was filled with fear. She looked at Xia Jiao hugging the Empress's leg with tears streaming down her face and then saw Su Ru. She immediately understood that the matter had been exposed. What she could do now...
"Empress, everything was done by Lily!”Lily bit her lips." The Second Princess doesn't know about this.”
Xia Jiao seemed to heave a sigh of relief and glared at Zhong Yan."Did you hear that? It has nothing to do with me!”
"Lily, why did you poison the Empress for no reason!”Yue Qing's loud voice drowned out Su Ru and Lily's crying.
Lily took a deep breath and said,"Lily is jealous of the Empress! The Empress ruled the world alone, and Lily could not bear to see her like this.”
No one would believe this reason, but Lily refused to admit that it was the Second Princess who ordered Lily to poison her. No one could hold her responsible.
The Empress was furious. She stood up and pushed Xia Jiao away."Drag him out! Cracked!"
Lily was so frightened that her eyes widened and she fainted. Su Ru's face was bitter. She knew that she would end up like this. The guards came in and took the two of them out.
Zhong Yan gestured for Ying Hua to take the Empress 'powder box away.
Eldest Sister and Third Sister looked at each other. The atmosphere was very tense at the moment. Second Brother lowered his head submissively and did not dare to make a sound, afraid that he would vent his anger on himself.
The Queen calmed her anger for a long time and finally said,""Put the Second Princess in confinement. She is not good at managing the servants. Such a big thing has happened.”
Xia Jiao retreated to the side and kowtowed deeply.""Xia Jiao is guilty and is willing to be punished."
Zhong Yan glanced at her coldly. That's right, this kind of confinement punishment was of course much lesser than the crime of murdering the Empress. What was there to be unwilling about?
"Bai He has committed a grave sin. Kill her three clans, and her nine relatives will be slaves forever! As for Su Ru, her nine clans were exiled to the border.”The Queen waved her hand." You can all leave. I'm tired."”
Zhong Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't kill Su Ru's family.
She stood up and bent her knees.”She walked out without looking back, and Yingshu followed closely beside her. Ying Hua was already waiting outside.”
Zhong Yan nodded and suddenly fell into Ying Hua's arms."I'm so tired. I've been kneeling for half a day.”
"Princess." Imperial Physician Fan carried his medicine box." You'll be fine as long as you recuperate well for the next few days. I'll get someone to make you some nourishing porridge."”
Zhong Yan nodded and watched as Imperial Physician Fan left the main hall. He jumped off the large chair and dragged out a large cage from the corner of the room. There was a cute black puppy sleeping inside.
Second Brother had asked someone to send this over just now. He said that he got it from outside and gave it to Chongyan to play with since it looked cute. Second Brother Ruo Wu seemed weak, but he was actually a very playful person. He would often send some fun things to Zhong Yan, but they did not meet.
The puppy was sleeping soundly. Chong Yan took it out of the cage and carried it out lovingly. The puppy squinted its eyes and looked at her. It rubbed against her palm and continued to sleep. Chong Yan was so happy.
Zhong Yan had always liked small animals. However, in the past, she did not dare to play with things and lose her spirit because of her studies. When she no longer had to study, the small house she rented felt crowded, and she could not keep any animals.
Now that he was fine, he could finally play with the puppy.
Ying Hua looked at her actions in amusement. She looked at Yingshu and said,"Princess, it wouldn't have been a problem even if Imperial Physician Fan had seen it just now. Why did you hide Little Black?”
Zhong Yan hugged the puppy lovingly and sat cross-legged on a large mahogany chair. She stroked the black fur on its back and said,"That won't do. I have to establish my prestige. If he sees that I like Little Black, it will be bad if others know.”
Ying Hua's heart suddenly felt sour. This little girl was so young, yet she had to be wary of others knowing her preferences and preventing others from doing anything to her. The children of the royal family were not simple.
"Ying Hua, go find some milk later. I'm afraid that the puppy won't eat.”Chong Yan felt that she had to think of a way to make it eat. The puppy was too small, probably not weaned yet.”
Ying Hua nodded.
"Also, follow me to Second Sister's palace later. I have something to tell her.”Zhong Yan looked up at the outside. It was still early.
Yingshu and Yinghua were beating their drums in their hearts. Every time the princess met her second sister, she would suffer. Why did she come knocking on her door this time?!
Zhong Yan lowered her head and smiled, muttering to herself,""Did she bully me like that in the past? Bully you guys so much that you don't even dare to let me see her?”
Yingshu and Yinghua hurriedly knelt down. It's just that the second princess…"
"Don't say anymore." Zhong Yan narrowed her eyes." I'm no longer the Ji Zhong Yan who's at the mercy of others.”
This sentence was said to the current Dong Yan, and also to the past Ji Zhongyan.
