Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

The guard had already stepped forward, and she pulled his hand again, "Brother Zhou, why don't we take them away after the trial."

If you beat him half to death, you can't go on.

He adjusted his breath, "Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoyu."

She looked at everyone calmly, "If anyone still doubts me, I can accept investigation or interrogation, but I have to treat everyone equally."

"All the participants in the whole incident, from the maids to the concubines, including Concubine Zheng and everyone present, will be interrogated together."

"You suspect me of framing her, and I suspect you and her are in cahoots with me. Let's be investigated together. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's shocked expressions were like the calm before a storm, and the blood in their bodies froze instantly.

She above always had a peaceful smile on her face, but it was eerie and strange.

"Brother Zhou, if they find out, I was ganged up on and framed by everyone. What crime have I committed?"

"Slandering and framing the princess, deceiving the emperor, shall be exiled to the frontier or sentenced to death!"

From this moment on, they truly realized the horror of the woman before them. She was not just a mere prankster, but a demon that could take people to hell.

"Take them away, and interrogate the concubines and maids in the harem who participated in the interrogation."

In this way, among the more than 20 people, there will always be someone who tells the truth. If they want to confess again at that time, it may not be so easy to get away with it.

"No! Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

The ministers knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, and were about to be dragged away, tortured, and interrogated.

"Your Majesty! It was...it was Concubine Zheng! It was Concubine Zheng who asked me to do this!" Finally someone spoke the truth.

He seized the opportunity and raised his voice to question, "I will give you one last chance to explain the matter clearly."

Seeing that they could no longer hide the truth, everyone spoke out at this moment and the truth came to light.

Everything was instigated by Concubine Zheng, a frame-up just to bring her down and get rid of her.

However, they never mentioned one person, another participant in the incident, Jiang Zhuo.

All the ministers were taken away, tortured and imprisoned.

"Eunuch Li, all the concubines who helped out will be caned and confined to their homes. As for Concubine Zheng, she will be banished to the cold palace."

Eunuch Li hesitated and asked, "Will the Imperial Concubine be punished as well?"

"same."

"It's Your Majesty."

She listened to his orders in silence until everyone left.

"Did you enjoy yourself today, Xiao Yu?" He agreed to let her handle it. It turned out to be a good show. However, he was very unhappy that they bullied her like this.

"It's enjoyable and fun." She raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.

"Why doesn't Xiaoyu let me participate?"

"If Brother Zhou helps, they will be less courageous. If Brother Zhou doesn't say anything, they think they can bully me without restraint."

"I see."

At this time, she took out another medicine bottle from her clothes and handed it to him.

"This is?"

"Someone came to my bedroom and put this there last night. I found it, so I replaced it."

"Last night? Was Xiaoyu injured?!" He suddenly became nervous. No wonder they were so confident.

She shook her head and said, "I left after I finished playing it."

He let out an inaudible sigh of relief, naturally grasping the other key point of the matter.

The guards did not report it and did not notice it, so how did Xiao Yu find out?

He tightened the medicine bottle in his hand, his expression solemn, "Sorry, Xiaoyu, Brother Zhou should have been more careful."

She smiled lightly, not caring, "Brother Zhou has been very careful, this time I did it on my own."

Apparently, she hadn't realized what he was referring to.

He reached out and rubbed her head, "I'm sorry that Xiaoyu has been wronged."

"Brother Zhou, be careful with your hands!" She quickly grabbed his wrist to stop him, "You haven't told me how you got hurt yet. We haven't seen each other for just one night."

Seeing her persistence, he said lightly: "I broke the teacup last night, so..."

Her eyes moved slightly, she had felt it since she first arrived.

"Is Brother Zhou...unhappy?"

"I'm very happy to be with Xiaoyu." Her senses are really sharp.

There was an inexplicable sadness in his smile, and he was obviously unhappy.

"Brother Zhou lied."

He was very good to her. Now, she hoped that he could be happy and well. She even hoped that he would never stand against Yan Qing.

"Can I understand that Xiao Yu is worried about me?"

She didn't deny it and nodded, "Worried."

The gentle words melted into his heart in an instant. She cared about him, but he was unwilling to accept it. Why couldn't she always be by his side?

He suddenly leaned over and hugged her, the hug was so sudden that it forced her straight into his chest.

She was stunned and felt the breath flowing through her ears. This hug was different from the previous ones. His arms were so tight that she could hardly breathe.

The bodies pressed tightly together, feeling the warmth of each other's skin and the increasingly rapid heartbeats.

She smelled the scent of him, flowers soaked in sake, sweet, yet dangerously alluring.

"Brother Zhou..." She called him softly, wanting to know the reason for the hug, and... whether there was any change in her feelings.

He didn't let go, and even held on tighter, "Is this all right? It will be fine in a moment."

He didn't want to let her go. He once thought that he could set her free as long as she was happy. But it seemed that he was wrong. He could no longer let go.

The pleading in his words reached her heart, and she did not push him away. She just let him hold her like that. Perhaps it was just because there had been so many unexpected things happening recently.

……

But in another palace, the scene was completely different.

Zheng Linhan never dreamed that this would be her final outcome. It was the result of her own design to frame others. The ministers who helped her were imprisoned, and even her personal maid was executed.

"Impossible! Eunuch Li, there must be something wrong. His Majesty cannot be so cruel!" When she heard that she was sentenced to caning and even banished to the cold palace, she simply couldn't believe it.

Kneeling on the ground, he begged again and again in grief, "Please let me see His Majesty. I must ask clearly."

"Your Majesty, now that the truth has come to light, framing the little princess and not executing her immediately is already the best outcome." Eunuch Li spoke politely.

He gestured to the imperial physician waiting on the side, "Your Majesty has ordered me to call the imperial physician. This is already a mercy from Your Majesty."

"Why is this happening! This is impossible! I want to see His Majesty! I have done so many things for His Majesty. Even if he punishes me, he cannot be so cruel. He must not send me to the cold palace!" Zheng Linhan stopped begging, lifted her skirt and stood up.

Despite all the obstructions, she wanted to see His Majesty. His Majesty must have been bewitched by that woman!

Eunuch Li shook his head helplessly, "You guys, catch her."

Before Zheng Linhan could run out, he was caught by several guards, pressed on a stool, and prepared for execution.

"Empress Zheng, you have been in the palace for so many years, why are you so unruly?"

"Please let me see His Majesty! I must ask clearly..."

No matter how Zheng Linhan begged, he was punished with beatings again and again.

With tears in her eyes, she clenched her teeth and tried not to scream. Even though her lips were bitten and blood was seeping out, she kept telling herself this.

Impossible! His Majesty couldn't possibly want her to die! I had worked so hard over the years to get to where I am now, it was impossible for her to just disappear like that, absolutely impossible!
