The imperial guard whispered something in De Sheng's ear.

"Your Majesty, all the prisoners, except for Mei Yan, the former chief maid of Fengqi Palace who has already left the palace, are kneeling in the main hall." - Sheng De's message

"Where is Mei Yan?"

"Your Majesty, Mei Yan is now in the residence of this old minister. She is kind-hearted and does not want to be buried with eunuchs and palace maids after her death, so I let her leave the palace and return home."

"The Queen is merciful!" - A member of the group

"Your Majesty is truly a model of virtue and kindness" - Party Member 2

The filming was unoriginal and not done with much care, but Taifu loved listening to it!

"Since Mei Yan is at the Taifu's residence, De Sheng, why don't you go there in person!"

"This slave accepts the order!"

Yinshan Du looked at the people kneeling in the hall. Today he was going to find out all those who participated in framing Jiaojiao and clear her name.

Squeezed the little red ball on my wrist.

Master Pu, I will need your cooperation in a moment! You must finish the trial of all the prisoners before Desheng brings Meiyan back. I am afraid that he will bring back news of death. - Yinshandu

Today, I also want you to solve the case as if you were a god for once.

Tong Chongyinshandu nodded obscurely.

It's showtime!

"Ximei, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you tell me the truth, I can make a new decision!"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know when the imperial concubine hid the poison. Normally, the imperial concubine would not let me touch the jewelry box. I really don't know."

"Where's the little clam?"

"Your Majesty, I'm here." A little eunuch with a delicate face and a frail body, he seemed to have something to hide, he was staggering and his face was pale.

"You and Ximei both served the Imperial Concubine. Ximei said that the Imperial Concubine often treated her harshly, beating and scolding her at any time. As the head maid of Changle Palace, she was not allowed to touch the jewelry box at all. Is this true?"

The little clam slammed his head heavily on the ground and loudly retorted: "Your Majesty, she is deceiving you."

"Your Majesty has never treated the maids and eunuchs of Changle Palace harshly. On the contrary, Your Majesty has taken very good care of us. I have been following Your Majesty since I was fourteen years old. Your Majesty took pity on me and Xiao Chengzi because we were young, and she treated us like her younger brothers. She even promoted us and kept us in Changle Palace."

"As for Ximei's statement that the Empress often beats and scolds her, Your Majesty, as a senior maid, she is often not seen when the Master gets up in the morning or goes to bed at night, and she is even more clumsy in dressing and washing. How should you deal with her?"

"If you covet your master's property and are caught, what should you do with it?"

Little Clam endured the discomfort and knelt straight.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes, his face was full of determination and courage, and he dared to look directly at Yinshan Ferry from the hall. He was willing to speak for the Queen even at the cost of his life!

For three years, three whole years, he always believed that the Queen was innocent!

"How dare you look directly into the emperor's eyes in the court? What crime should you be punished for?"

Cheng Jinyun shouted loudly, looking as if he was going to execute him!

"Your Majesty, this man has no sense of law and order, and is extremely disrespectful. I believe that this lunatic should be taken out of the palace and beheaded as a warning to the public!"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi didn't do it on purpose. Please spare his life!"

Little Orange banged his head so hard that it made a loud banging sound.

Yin Shandu stood up from his seat, walked in front of Cheng Jinyun, and kicked him to the ground: "Who do you think you are? How dare you tell me what to do? Are you tired of living?"

"Come here, drag Minister Cheng away. Doesn't he like to be beheaded outside the palace gate? Then I will grant his wish!"

Cheng Jinyun was so frightened that he quickly got up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of usurping the throne. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

After saying this, he pressed his head to the ground and his thighs trembled.

He didn't understand how a small eunuch could cause His Majesty to make such a fuss. Did His Majesty really want to reopen the old case to exonerate Xuzhou Chuang?

I'm afraid that Da Yin is about to make a big fuss!

Seeing his eldest son-in-law being kicked to the ground by His Majesty, Tutor Hu turned pale and had to come forward to plead for mercy: "Your Majesty, I think this young eunuch's loyalty and courage are commendable, so please forgive him this time." Tutor Hu's words were ambiguous.

It seems like I'm destined not to escape unscathed today!

Yinshandu was very satisfied, looking at Cheng Jinyun who had already played a deterrent role; "Since Minister Cheng has no such intention, then kneel down and wake up your brain first!"

All the Taifu faction members looked at Cheng Jinyun lying on the ground in a mess, and they understood something in their hearts: General Zhenguo had really returned.

"Ximei, what else do you have to say!"

Ximei stared at Xiao Xianzi in a daze. She didn't expect that after so long he was still siding with that bitch Xu Zhoujiao. A flash of viciousness flashed across her eyes. "Since you can't bear to leave that bitch, just die with her!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The reason why Xiao Xianzi wanted to kill me was because I saw Xiao Xianzi and the imperial concubine having an affair!"

"This servant wants to report the imperial concubine for having an affair!"

Silence, everyone was silent.

Ximei's sudden words pushed the whole situation to another climax.

Since ancient times, extramarital affairs between concubines have always been the most secretive part of all emperors' harems. Now that it was exposed so openly by Ximei, all the court officials didn't know what to do for a moment. This was obviously not something they should hear.

Except for a few people.

Xuzhou Jiao: "You're talking nonsense, Dian Mu Dian Mu, help me kill her with a chop!"

Xuzhou Chuang: "How dare you, a bitch, slander Jiaojiao? I will kill you!"

But one of them was held tightly by Taoist Pu, and the other was hugged tightly by Yinshan Gu.

The only thing he missed was a small clam. He grabbed Ximei's neck tightly and said, "You despicable and shameless woman, how dare you frame the queen! I will kill you!"

Seeing Ximei being strangled and rolling her eyes, Yinshan Du could only pull him away himself: "I trust the character of the imperial concubine, and I won't believe a word this lowly maid says!"

Xiao Xianzi tightly grasped Yinshandu's clothes, his pale face full of urgency: "Your Majesty, my parents sent me to the palace to be a low-ranking eunuch to prevent me from starving to death. Others in the palace bullied me, and it was Your Majesty who saved me from dying. Your Majesty saw that I had a pitiful life and treated me as a younger brother. Xiao Chengzi, Xiao Chengzi, Xiao Chengzi can testify for me, Xiao Chengzi, quickly tell Your Majesty."

Little Chengzi was immediately frightened and shouted: Your Majesty, please look into this, Your Majesty, please look into this!

Ximei's voice was hoarse and as unpleasant as a broken bell: "Do you dare to say that you have never been alone with the queen? Do you dare to say that you have never coveted the queen? Don't cover it up. It is because I caught you that the imperial concubine wanted to have me beaten to death. If it weren't for the queen, I would have been executed by you long ago."

"No, it's you who refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and even stole the jade pendant my parents left for me. The Queen will not tolerate you!"

"It was obviously me who found the token of love you gave to the queen."

Xiao Xianzi found that no matter what he said, he could not restore the reputation of the queen. Xiao Chengzi, the only witness, was trembling with fear. No one would believe them no matter what he said.

But Ximei still insisted that he had an affair with the imperial concubine.

He staggered to his feet and limped out of the hall, stretching out three fingers and pointing them straight to the sky: "Heaven is above, and the thick earth is my witness. If I say even a single word of falsehood, may the lightning strike my body, and my soul burn with lightning, and I may turn into ashes and die a miserable death!"

Xu Zhoujiao looked at this brother who was two years younger than her, and felt a bitter feeling in her heart. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and tears flowed unconsciously. She had only made decisions for him a few times and fed him some food, but he...

This fool, is it worth it?

At this moment, the familiar light blue electric ball floated down: "Sister, are you looking for me?"
