C12 Frame It on Me

The pointed man froze, then dropped to his knees, his face the color of a pig's liver.

"If you are not a servant, how dare you do such a disgraceful thing!"

The person Yun Zhiyu was pointing at was Wang Gui, who was the witness just now.

Noble Consort Hui laughed lightly, "Isn't this the witness just now? Empress, do you really know, or..."

"I've already said that I'm just guessing." Yun Zhiyu said unhurriedly, and then asked Wang Gui, "Let me ask you, just now you said that you were working for Worthy Lady Lan, what kind of job did you do?"

Wang Gui said submissively: "Servant, I did chores."

Yun Zhiyu laughed when she heard this, "Isn't this ridiculous?"

"Anyone who knows about witchcraft and curses in the palace knows that they will definitely lose their head. Worthy Lady Lan is not stupid. How could she go around her trusted aide and let you do it? !"

"You couldn't wait to be a witness. There is only one possibility, and that is that you are the one who cursed him."

Wang Gui sucked in a breath of cold air, and repeatedly kowtowed to deny it, "This servant doesn't dare, this servant really doesn't dare!"

"Whether it was you who did it or not, the Emperor should know after ordering people to search this servant's residence."

Just as Noble Consort Hui was about to say something, Chi Hongze nodded, "Search!"

In less than an incense stick of time, the guard returned with a few things.

Those items were just some broken wood. However, the color and texture could match up to the wooden box and the baby corpse!

"Reporting to the Emperor, these were found in Wang Gui's residence."

Wang Gui's legs went soft and he fell to the ground, "This, this is impossible, impossible! This servant did not do it, and this servant has no reason to do it!"

Yun Zhiyu's eyes turned cold, "Shut up! You know best whether there is a reason or not. If you didn't do it, why would these things appear in your room? ! It was clearly you who framed him, but the Emperor wanted to frame his own master. A servant like you really deserves to die!"

Noble Consort Hui's expression also changed at the side. How was this possible? Whether it was the wooden box or Wang Gui, they were both arranged by her long ago and there were no flaws at all. How did it become like this?!

"This -"

"What? Does Noble Consort have anything else to say?"

"No, no, Chenqie is just surprised by this servant's wicked thoughts!"

"That's good." Chi Hongze retracted his gaze, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "You are the head of the palace, and now that the eunuchs in your palace have done such a shameful thing, it's time for the Imperial Concubine to reflect on herself."

"I..." Noble Consort Hui was both angry and annoyed, but she had no choice but to endure the humiliation and whisper, "Yes, I understand. Someone! Drag this disgraceful thing out and beat it to death!"

Wang Gui was dragged out, and the young maid who had gone to ask for help earlier quickly rushed into the rain and helped Worthy Lady Lan up.

"Hurry up and find the imperial doctor. Worthy Lady Lan is making such an unpleasant scene here, so it's better for her to move out. The Bright Moon Court is still empty, so let her stay there." Yun Zhiyu said again.

Noble Consort Hui tensed up and subconsciously looked at Chi Hongze.

Chi Hongze simply nodded and agreed to Yun Zhiyu's suggestion. He then took Yun Zhiyu's hand and said, "The weather is cold. Queen, you should go back quickly so that you don't catch a cold."

Yun Zhiyu could not wait to leave. She only thanked the Emperor for his understanding, opened her umbrella, and slowly left.

Just as she was about to turn a corner, she suddenly heard Chi Hongze say from behind, "Empress."

Didn't he tell her to leave?! Yun Zhiyu's shoulders tightened, and she pretended as if nothing had happened. She turned around and waited for Chi Hongze to come closer. "What else does the Emperor want?"

Chi Hongze only smiled faintly and did not answer the question. "The Empress seems to be in a hurry to go back, but what's the matter?"

"Nothing important."

"Then you are deliberately avoiding me?"

Yun Zhiyu's body stiffened and she subconsciously met Chi Hongze's gaze.
