The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

However, Nian Xi did not show any panic or attempt to hide, and he turned a deaf ear to other people's comments. At this time, Xia Qi's confidant was following him quietly, and he was quite puzzled by Nian Xi's behavior.

Nian Xi walked for a long time, and just when he was about to get impatient, he heard a very light whistle. Nian Xi's heart moved, thinking that his people might be coming.

Nian Xi suddenly quickened his pace and slipped into an empty palace nearby. The people following him didn't notice for a moment and lost sight of Nian Xi.

Just as the man behind him was looking around, he saw that "Nian Xi" appeared in front of him again, walking forward with quick steps. Seeing this, the Flying Guillotine quickly quickened his pace and continued to follow behind "Nian Xi".

"Nian Xi" led the Flying Guillotine around until dark, and lost his trace again, leaving the Flying Guillotine gritting his teeth in anger, vowing to turn the entire palace upside down to find this hateful woman.

The moment Nian Wen appeared, Nian Xi quickly exchanged clothes with her and ran back to Yikun Palace using her lightness skills without being noticed by others. Nian Wen, on the other hand, pretended to be Nian Xi and circled around the palace with the Blood Dropper.

The moment Nian Shilan heard Songzhi say that Nian Xi had returned, she rushed to Nian Xi's room eagerly. The moment she saw Nian Xi, her eyes instantly turned red. She raised her arm with a slight tremor, wanting to touch Nian Xi, but was worried about hurting her. She said with a hint of tears in her tone: "What's wrong with you? But who hurt you?"

When Nian Xi saw Nian Shilan, she quickly smiled and said, "My queen, don't worry, I'm fine. This is just a trick I used to inflict pain on myself."

Nian Shilan was still a little angry, "You say! I will chop off his head!"

Nian Xi ignored Nian Shilan's anger, but grabbed Nian Shilan's hand and led her to her couch, "My lady, this time I have found something very important and I have to report it."

Nian Shilan saw that Nian Xi's tone was a little serious, and then she calmed down and said, "You go."

"Your Majesty, I have found out who released the snake in Changle Palace." Nian Xi said solemnly.

Nian Shilan was quite surprised, "You weren't arrested for this, were you?"

Nian Xi nodded rather dejectedly and said, "Yes, I was eavesdropping and accidentally got discovered by Xia Qian."

Nian Shilan hurriedly asked with concern: "Are you hurt anywhere? Let me take a look." As she said that, she wanted to check if Nian Xi had any wounds.

Nian Xi smiled and shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'm fine."

Then, Nian Xi told Nian Shilan everything she had heard.

"It's indeed her!" Nian Shilan was not surprised at all after hearing this. It seemed that she was really forced into a corner, otherwise she would never do such a thing in the palace.

"But I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the emperor with just your one-sided statement." Nian Shilan sighed and said in a sad tone.

"It doesn't matter. I still have evidence." Nian Xi said, taking out a handkerchief from her arms with a peony embroidered on it.

"This is..." Nian Shilan recognized the handkerchief.

"This is what I found in her palace. It is stained with snake venom. As long as you hand it over to the emperor, I don't have to worry about him not believing it." A hint of determination flashed in Nian Xi's eyes.

After hearing what Nian Xi said, Nian Shilan still hesitated and said, "I need to think about how to hand this item over to the emperor."

Nian Xi comforted her, "Your Highness, don't worry. I just took Xia Qian to get a letter that clearly records all these things. I think Xia Qian will hand the letter to the emperor soon."

Nian Shilan looked at Nian Xi in surprise, "You?"

Nian Xi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that besides being the best at Qinggong, I can also use incense to fascinate people. In the dead of night, after I knocked down everyone in the dungeon, I quietly went out and arranged the 'evidence'."

Nian Shilan looked at Nian Xi with some appreciation and said, "You did a great job on this matter."

Nian Xi glanced at Nian Shilan playfully and said, "Your Majesty, please don't rush to praise me. I will quietly return the handkerchief to her palace. After everything is settled, I will ask for a reward from you."

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely reward you with lots of gold, silver and jewelry, and let you keep them well."

Upon hearing this, Nian Xi touched his head and smiled happily.

After everything was said, Nian Shilan was still worried, so she asked Yun'er to come and check on Nian Xi's injuries.

After Yun'er examined her, she looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Nian Xi only suffered some superficial injuries, it's not serious. I will prepare some medicine for her later, and she will be well in a few days."

After taking the medicine, Nian Xi folded the handkerchief and hid it in her sleeve, intending to send it back quietly at night. She shuttled through the corridors of the palace like a ghost, avoiding the patrolling guards and came to the man's bedroom.

She gently pushed open the window and sneaked into the room. A faint fragrance filled the room. Nian Xi carefully placed the handkerchief on the table beside the bed, then turned and left.

Back at Yikun Palace, Nian Xi reported the completion of the mission to Nian Shilan, who nodded with satisfaction and praised Nian Xi's wit and bravery.

Next, they just need to wait for the emperor's decision. Nian Xi believes that the truth will soon be revealed to the world. And she will also receive more rewards for her meritorious service.

Xia Qi hesitated for a long time, but finally took the letter and the purse he found last night to the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After reading the letter, the emperor was furious. He immediately summoned the relevant personnel for questioning and sent people to search the man's bedroom. Soon, the handkerchief and other evidence found pointed to her.

The emperor went to Qianxi Palace with an angry face. Yixiu was leisurely fiddling with the tea utensils on the table in the palace.

The moment she saw the emperor, Yixiu felt as if she were in another world. She was stunned for a long time before she bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. I wonder why you suddenly came to my Qianxi Palace."

The emperor snorted coldly, threw the handkerchief fiercely at Yixiu's face, and said angrily: "Are you going to continue pretending? I just sent people to search your bedroom, how come this thing is here with you?"

When the emperor's guards came to search the palace, Yixiu had already made preparations, so she said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Why did this handkerchief appear in my palace? Your Majesty has not even asked me a single question, but you are going to convict me?"

The emperor was so angry at Yixiu's words that he laughed, "Are you saying that I am wrongly accusing you? Yixiu, do you know what you are doing? Now that you have been deposed and demoted to Yipin, are you still so restless? You don't want to live anymore, right?"
