C5 I will Give You Justice

On the tray was a pomegranate hairpin.

"Your highness, I found the Avoidance Powder on the hairpin."

Imperial Physician Zhao said in a deep voice, "Concubine Ren wears this hairpin that has been smeared with Avoidance Powder every day, so naturally, she will have a miscarriage."

Hearing the word miscarriage, Concubine Ren's cries became even more sorrowful.

Chi Hongze's face revealed shock, but as long as one looked carefully, one would find that his eyes were as calm as a pond.

"Empress, is it really you?!"

There was no need to take out any more evidence. The spearhead had already been pointed at Yun Zhiyu.

There was no other reason than that she had personally given this hairpin to Concubine Ren.

Ever since that day, Concubine Ren had worn it every day and had never let anyone else have it.

Therefore, other than Yun Zhiyu, who else would put Avoidance Powder on it?

Lianye was so scared that her face turned pale, but Yun Zhiyu still had a calm expression on her face.

She glanced sideways at the pomegranate hairpin. "This hairpin was indeed given to Concubine Ren by me, but the person who tampered with it was not me."

"Who else could it be if not you?!" Concubine Ren cried her heart out, "This hairpin only passed through the hands of the two of us. If it wasn't you, could it have been me?!"

Yun Zhiyu suddenly laughed.

Chi Hongze's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at her with a different expression.

She faced Concubine Ren indifferently and said unhurriedly, "Isn't the person who will do this yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings burst into an uproar.

These words were ridiculous. Even if Concubine Ren did not cry out, no one would believe her.

Being able to conceive an heir to the Emperor was a matter of great favoritism. Even if Concubine Ren was crazy, she would not do something like making herself slip.

Everyone immediately muttered in their hearts. No wonder they all thought that the Empress was unreasonable. Now that the evidence was conclusive, she could even say such ridiculous words!

Chi Hongze slowly exhaled, and his tone had already turned cold.

"Empress, you have really disappointed me."

He thought that Yun Zhiyu, who had no other choice, would kneel down and plead guilty.

Unexpectedly, her back was still straight, and her clear eyes were like a calm lake, without any twists and turns.

"It is too early for the Emperor to be disappointed. This matter indeed has nothing to do with me. Concubine Ren has evidence, and I also have evidence that can prove my innocence."

Chi Hongze's handsome eyebrows moved imperceptibly.

When he looked at Yun Zhiyu, a trace of interest suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He was suddenly curious. She had been forced into a dead end. What other ways could she have to escape?

Yun Zhiyu looked around quietly and said, "A few days ago, yes, it was the day that Concubine Ren confirmed her pulse. I accidentally caught a suspicious person."

"As long as the Emperor sees that person, he will naturally believe my innocence."

Concubine Ren's swollen eyes flashed with a trace of anxiety. She immediately put on a sad look, wrapped her hands around Chi Hongze's arm, and wailed, "Your Majesty, please help me, my child..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chi Hongze had already quietly pulled his arm out. His usual expression did not reveal anything.

"I will naturally give you justice." After saying that, he nodded at Yun Zhiyu. "Bring him here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yun Zhiyu bowed and clapped her hands. Immediately, a tied up person was pushed in from outside.

"Raise your head," Yun Zhiyu said coldly.

Chi Hongze squinted his eyes, "Isn't this Imperial Physician Qian?"

Recognizing Imperial Physician Qian, Concubine Ren immediately shivered. She still looked miserable, but there was an uncontrollable fear in her eyes.

As soon as Imperial Physician Qian entered, he knelt on the ground with a thump, trembling and shouting for mercy.

Everyone also recognized Imperial Physician Qian, and immediately muttered, this Imperial Physician Qian, didn't he retire a few days ago, why was he arrested by the empress as a suspicious person?

After walking around Imperial Physician Qian, Yun Zhiyu said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible to let you off lightly, but you have to first repeat what you said that day!"
