After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

On the other side.

Nan Yuan was escorted by several maids towards the Ministry of Punishment. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still afraid in her heart.

She tightly grasped the ring in her hand. If anything happened, the ring given to her by Gu Jingheng might be able to hold out for a while, at least until the Princess came.

Nan Yuan looked at the ring on her hand, which was shining in the sun. She pursed her lips unconsciously and her palms were sweaty.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Jingheng unless it was absolutely necessary.

At the same time, Chu Yunni also walked towards the Queen's bedroom in a panic, accidentally startling the Emperor's carriage.

"Your Majesty forgive me."

Chu Yunni knelt on the ground, her face full of panic, and begged for mercy: "I didn't know your Majesty was here, and I accidentally disturbed your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at Chu Yunni who was kneeling below him. He wanted to send her away, but suddenly he saw that she was the head maid of the Queen's Palace, so he asked, "You are not in Kunning Palace serving the Queen. Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Chu Yunni dodged and quietly hid the voodoo figurine in her hand behind her back.

Naturally, this action could not escape the emperor's eyes.

The more he tried to hide things, the more it showed that he had something to hide, especially when it came to people coming out of Kunning Palace. The emperor always cared about matters related to the empress.

He winked at Chu Yanzhi beside him, who immediately understood. He took two steps forward, snatched the witch figurine from Chu Yunni's hand, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor raised his hand to take it, and his expression instantly became gloomy. The birth date engraved on this voodoo figurine was actually the queen's.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you practice witchcraft in the palace and murder the queen?"

When Chu Yunni heard this, she turned pale with fright.

She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, I really don't have the guts. Even if I have ten times the courage, I dare not murder the Queen!"

"This thing was found on the body of the lady who came to see the Queen today. I was afraid that the Queen would be upset, so I took the initiative to destroy it. I would never dare to murder the Queen, so please Your Majesty understand."

Chu Yunni was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, looking like she had been wronged.

She winked at the eunuchs and palace maids behind her.

Someone immediately spoke up to testify, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. We saw with our own eyes that this thing was searched from the person who came to see the Queen today. It has nothing to do with Chu Shangyi."

A lady of the imperial court?

He is really very bold!

The emperor was already furious. He slammed the table, threw the witch to the ground, and said angrily, "You bastard, you dare to use such a despicable method to murder the queen in the palace. Your crime is unforgivable."

"Yanzhi, go find out who is so audacious. If you find out, have him beaten to death immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Yanzhi received the order and immediately retreated.

"Go to Kunning Palace." The emperor was a little worried about the queen's current health. Such dirty things must not dirty her eyes.

The emperor's carriage soon drove into the Kunning Palace.

Chu Yanzhi and Chu Yunni stood together.

Chu Yunni asked the palace maid who followed her to leave. The panic and fear in her eyes disappeared completely. A smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She looked up and said to Chu Yanzhi, "Brother, he is in the Ministry of Punishment."

The reason why she was hiding it was not to excuse Nan Yuan, but because only the truth that people discover themselves will they believe it without a doubt.

The truth that others voluntarily offer to you should be treated with some degree of suspicion.

The Queen Mother was kind and generous. Even if someone really used witchcraft to harm her, she would not strangle the person immediately. It was more likely that she would find out the truth first.

This matter must not be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. If Nan Yuan gets reinforcements by then, it will be difficult to kill her.

So she specifically chose this time. She knew from Chu Yanzhi that His Majesty would come to Kunning Palace to meet with the Queen at this time every year.

Your Majesty and the Queen are deeply in love. If you hear that someone intends to murder the Queen, you will never tolerate it.

It happens that his brother is on duty today, so His Majesty will most likely ask his brother to investigate the matter.

The links are connected, and every link is someone on his side. Nan Yuan is doomed.

Besides, so many people saw that this thing was searched out from Nan Yuan and the others, and Nan Yuan took all the responsibility on her own initiative, so it was a foregone conclusion that she was the murderer.

They executed the murderers who wanted to murder the Queen according to His Majesty's order. Even if the Crown Prince came, he would not be able to hold any evidence against them.

Chu Yanzhi quickly understood what Chu Yunni meant and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure she dies without a burial place."

The group of people walked towards the Ministry of Punishment in a mighty manner.

Nan Yuan had just arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, but before she could go in, Chu Yanzhi arrived with his men.

"Take it!"

Before Nan Yuan could react, several guards grabbed her hands and feet and pushed her in front of Chu Yanzhi.

She stumbled and bumped into a hard object. She frowned in pain and the guards took her away.

"Are you Nan Yuan?" Chu Yanzhi looked at the woman with tied hands and feet in front of him with a cold gaze.

"Yes." Nan Yuan didn't understand and answered.

Chu Yan looked Nan Yuan up and down, with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Is she worthy of his sister spending so much time and effort to set up such a big plan?

"The criminal Nan Yuan used witchcraft and was so bold as to attempt to murder the Queen. Your Majesty has ordered that he be beaten to death immediately!"

Chu Yanzhi's voice was so resounding that it silenced everyone in the Ministry of Punishment.

Nan Yuan was stunned. Was he going to be beaten to death immediately?

"The matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet, how can you ..."

Before Nan Yuan could finish her words, Chu Yanzhi interrupted her with a sneer: "Disobeying the imperial decree is a heavier crime."

"Someone, take it away!"

Chu Yanzhi was well aware that delay would lead to unexpected events, so he had Nan Yuan's mouth blocked and took her to the execution ground.

"Wuwu..." Nan Yuan struggled and wanted to say something, but two imperial guards covered her mouth and took her away forcibly.

She widened her eyes in disbelief. This time, Chu Yunni didn't want to send her to jail to vent her anger, but wanted to take her life.

The fear of death instantly spread throughout my body.

She forced herself to calm down. Panicking now was useless and would only cost her her life.

She had to stay calm and think of a solution.

Nan Yuan looked around. The corridor from the Ministry of Punishment to the execution ground was only a hundred steps away from the Queen's bedroom.

She still has the ring given by Gu Jingheng on her hand. Seeing the ring is like seeing the prince. She can use the ring to break into Kunning Palace.

As long as she can see the Queen, she still has a chance of survival.

Nan Yuan stopped struggling and obediently followed them to the execution ground.

"You can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended. In your next life, be more discerning and avoid people you shouldn't offend."

Chu Yanzhi glanced at Nan Yuan, his eyes full of contempt.

She was just the daughter of a small imperial physician, who used her beauty to hook up with Shen Zhaixing and asked for the title of princess, yet she dared to make his sister angry.

She didn't even consider whether the Chu family was someone she could afford to offend. The Chu family had been officials for generations and was a century-old family. By the time of his father's generation, they were stationed at the border and had an army of 100,000.

Who the hell is she? She deserves what happened today!

Hearing this, Nan Yuan showed a bitter smile on her face.

Take a detour?

She asked herself whether she had always been avoiding Chu Yunni in her past and present lives, but the final result was still the same. Should she blame herself for offending someone she shouldn't have offended?

Ah!

This was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Her life has not come to an end yet and she still has a chance to survive.

Nan Yuan silently observed the surrounding environment. At the corridor closest to Kunning Palace, she suddenly stepped on the guard who was detaining her. When another guard was not paying attention, she raised her foot and kicked the man hard.
