The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Fortunately, that was all in the past life.

Xue Zhiyi rubbed his heavy head and stared blankly at the grass ring lying in his palm.

She murmured: "Who are you..."

But for some reason, Huo Wuyou's face flashed through her mind for no reason.

Immediately, she shook her head again.

At that time, Huo Wuyou had clearly died on the way to exile, and his grave was probably already covered with grass and birds.

How could it be him?

She really was completely sleepy.

At this moment, there was a burst of noise.

She was not on duty this morning, and when she woke up, it was already late.

She looked out the window and saw that it was people from the Ye Ting Si who were ordered to arrest Lan Ying.

Xue Zhiyi just watched Lan Ying crying and struggling silently, without saying a word, he just got up and simply put on his makeup.

As expected, someone has to take the blame for Gong Hua's incident.

Ge Yuanhui is a member of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and cannot act rashly, and he had already been punished yesterday.

Not only that, with Xue Zhiyi's planning, Concubine Ge might have suspected that Lan Ying was her accomplice, and she would definitely want to capture Lan Ying and interrogate her.

Therefore, the person who could go to the Ye Ting Si for trial could only be Lan Ying.

When Jingchun came to see Xue Zhiyi, she was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.

Jingchun was also a little panicked: "Sister Zhiyi, will everything be okay?"

Xue Zhiyi just smiled slightly: "It's okay, but they will come to summon you and me in a while."

"Ah..." Jingchun was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.

Xue Zhiyi said calmly, "The one who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor is Ge Yuanhui. Lan Ying is at best hiding the truth and will definitely tell us everything that happened yesterday. When the time comes, we just need to keep our mouths shut."

Jing Chun waved his hands repeatedly: "I...I can't do it!"

Xue Zhiyi knew that it was useless to talk to such a coward, and intimidation was the only effective method.

So she smiled and said, "If you can't keep your mouth shut, I will push all the blame onto you. Anyway, Lan Ying just wants to get away, she will definitely cooperate with me. Lan Ying is the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister. When the time comes, the Ye Ting Division will need to find someone to take the blame. Guess who will be the scapegoat, you or me?"

Jingchun's face turned pale with fear: "How could you do this..."

Xue Zhiyi looked innocent: "What's wrong with me? Don't forget who helped you out. You can't repay kindness with hatred."

After that, he smiled kindly again: "Be good, remember?"

She knew that Jingchun was not a bad person, he was just used to being a coward, so she had to scare him like this.

Sure enough, after he said this, someone from the Ye Ting Si came in the afternoon.

Jing Chun was trembling, grabbing Xue Zhiyi's arm, not daring to let go all the way, until they arrived at the Ye Ting Division, where they were forcibly separated by the Ye Ting Division people.

The torture chamber in the Ye Ting Si was damp, dirty, smelly, and uncomfortably dark, but Xue Zhiyi knew that he was not here to be tortured, so there was no need to panic and he just sat down under the guidance of the eunuch.

The eunuch was quite old and his hair was already gray.

The old people in the palace are naturally the best at judging people and treating them better, so they will not be too harsh on the people in Jianzhang Palace.

He pinched his throat and asked, "Miss Zhiyi, the Ye Ting Division is not an unreasonable place. I just want to ask a few questions. Please tell me everything you know."

Xue Zhiyi just smiled politely and said, "Of course, please ask, eunuch."

The old eunuch said, "Something went wrong with the palace flower yesterday. As someone from Jianzhang Palace, you naturally know about it. We just want to ask, what happened that day? Whose hands did the palace flower pass through?"

Xue Zhiyi remained calm and replied with a smile, "The palace flowers were damaged at that time, and it was Miss Ge Yuanhui who repaired them using the beeswax from the Lanying hairpin. At that time, His Majesty and the Queen Mother praised them both."

But the old eunuch said: "But Lanying admitted that it was you who repaired the palace flower, and Miss Ge did not do it."

Xue Zhiyi only said "oh" in confusion: "But why would Miss Ge deceive the emperor?"

After hearing this, the old eunuch was also in trouble.

If this matter is related to Xue Zhiyi, Ge Yuanhui is deceiving the emperor. Who would dare to report such a result? It's simply courting death!

Therefore, the person who made the mistake could not be Xue Zhiyi, nor Ge Yuanhui who was repairing the palace flowers. Then, the problem could only be with Lan Ying's beeswax.

However, the old eunuch was not willing to offend the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, which was the most embarrassing thing.

But Xue Zhiyi seemed to see through his thoughts and asked, "I wonder how much time Your Majesty has given the eunuchs to investigate this matter?"

The old eunuch was stunned and did not answer.

But Xue Zhiyi asked: "Half a month?"

The old eunuch felt that the woman seemed to be confident about everything, and did not show any sign of panic, and even had a smile on her face, which made him inexplicably frightened.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Zhiyi just assumed that she had acquiesced and said, "The eunuchs will investigate slowly. Your difficulties will be solved with time."

After coming out of the Ye Ting Si, Xue Zhiyi waited for a while before Jing Chun came out.

Her pale face had not yet recovered. Looking at Xue Zhiyi, she said unhappily, "As you wish, I didn't say anything nonsense."

"I know you are not that kind of person." Xue Zhiyi said with a smile.

Jingchun really couldn't stand the interrogation, but with what Xue Zhiyi just said, the Ye Ting Si had no need to interrogate Jingchun anymore. They just asked a few questions as if to show their intention and then released him.

Seeing Xue Zhiyi leaving, Jingchun followed closely behind: "Sister Zhiyi, are we all okay now?"

"It's okay." Xue Zhiyi said.

Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi stopped, and Jingchun didn't brake in time and bumped into her back.

"What's wrong, Sister Zhiyi?"

Xue Zhiyi just looked in one direction and saw a group of people busy moving something.

Seeing this, Jing Chun said, "His Majesty said that Concubine Song was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to live in Cuiwei Palace, so he asked the Empress to build another palace for Concubine Song to move to Suining Palace, and also gave her a lot of things."

"Is that all?" Xue Zhiyi asked.

Jing Chun scratched his forehead and said, "His Majesty said that Concubine Song is still pregnant and that no one in the harem should disturb her pregnancy. He also said that Concubine Song needs to rest and it is best for her to stay in Suining Palace and not move around."

Xue Zhiyi sneered: Isn't this just a nicer way of saying house arrest?

It seems that the emperor was really angry, but he was unwilling to admit that he was deceived, so he had to vent his anger in this way of praising and criticizing.

However, Lan Ying had not yet been convicted, so she was sent back to Jianzhang Palace after the trial.

For several days, she was always absent-minded and trembling with fear.

……

Huo Wuyou entered the palace a few days later, saying that the empress dowager was not feeling well and asked him to visit her.

When serving tea, Xue Zhiyi placed the teacup in front of him.

Their eyes met quietly, and Huo Wuyou blinked at her calmly.

Xue Zhiyi understood what he meant, smiled in response, and left the main hall.

In the tea room, Xue Zhiyi was packing up things skillfully, but he saw Lan Ying, who had temporarily escaped death, with an anxious look on her face.

Lan Ying seems to have learned her lesson these days and dares not to cause trouble for Xue Zhiyi anymore.

Xue Zhiyi saw this and asked her, "Lan Ying, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lan Ying glared at her with impatience.

Xue Zhiyi just said: "It is my duty. I have to ask you clearly whether you can do a good job today."

Lan Ying thought for a moment and said impatiently, "Didn't they say that Prince Gong would also visit the Queen Mother today? Why hasn't he come yet?"

She had been worried about something for several days and had been feeling restless. She had to find Prince Gong to find out whether she would be in trouble or not.

Xue Zhiyi looked at her and asked, "Why are you thinking about Prince Gong instead of Marquis Lin'an?"
