Chapter 218: Debate with the Left Censor! This is an open-book exam

He Zhaojun stood up, her hands trembling. "Regret it? It's too late."

Wang Yan burst into tears, "Why would I save her? She wanted to kill me, and I saved her!"

The palace maids and attendants beside them were also silent. The fifth princess was stunned and pointed at the three people with disbelief on her face.

"What on earth have you done? He Zhaojun, is it you? Who do you want to harm with your evil magic?" As the fifth princess spoke, she became frightened and kept backing away.

He Zhaojun wiped her mouth, finding it stained with the lip balm from the Censor's wife, which made her feel nauseous. "I used sorcery and witchcraft, but I saved the Censor's wife's life. You were acting on behalf of Heaven, but you nearly killed innocent people. Who is the demon?"

"Me! I can't argue with you! I'll go tell my father and have him arrest you!" The fifth princess felt extremely guilty. She remembered something at this moment and turned around and ran towards the Qinzheng Palace.

He Zhaojun glanced at the two of them and shrugged: "Wait, His Majesty will summon you soon. Don't forget the words you just thought of."

Sure enough, several people returned to Changqiu Palace in a restless mood, bathed, changed clothes, and dressed up again. He Zhaojun still had the mind to sit in front of the bronze mirror and put on makeup, while the other two were anxiously turning around in circles.

"Zhaojun, you are already very beautiful, why do you still have the mind to dress up?" Shao Shang was anxious.

He Zhaojun smiled and said, "I bought this new lipstick. I'll put it on to exude my full aura. Only then will I have the confidence to face His Majesty and those who are impeaching me. Can you help me check if any of it is stuck to my teeth?"

He said this with his teeth bared, asking Shao Shang to look.

Shao Shang shook her head. Sister Zhaojun was so calm, still thinking about these things at this time. She also needed to learn to be calm, so she sat down obediently and waited together.

Seeing both of them like this, Wang Yan felt anxious but couldn't show it. She sat down reluctantly but looked around. It felt like there were spikes under her butt and she couldn't sit still and kept swaying back and forth.

After noon, Cao Changshi brought two eunuchs to Changqiu Palace. When they pushed the door open, they saw several people there. Zhaojun even had time to play Go with Shaoshang, but it seemed that the game they played was not Go, after all, Shaoshang didn't know how to play.

"You three are all here. His Majesty invites you to go with me." After saying this, he stretched out his hand and motioned for several people to follow.

He Zhaojun stood up calmly and was the first to follow. After all, it was just the same thing. The fifth princess had filed a complaint with the emperor, saying that he was practicing witchcraft, but she deliberately made it ambiguous, otherwise Emperor Wen would definitely punish her.

As for the other ministers who would come to question General Ling, they had already rehearsed it. She would play the role of Emperor Wen and ask questions to others, allowing the two of them to think of the answers in advance. Now, no matter what happened, their answers would be impeccable.

As soon as the three of them knelt in Chongde Hall, the Left Censor began to attack: "Your Majesty, Peng Kun's family has already complained to the Changqiu Palace. Poor girl, she is heartbroken! It's all Ling Buyi's fault!"

Shao Shang sneered, "Wang Yan never married him. She went to Changqiu Palace only to repay him for saving her life. How could she be as heartbroken as you say?!"

Wang Yan nodded quickly, "That's right. I'm grateful for his care for me in Shouchun, and I came to ask Si Niang out of gratitude. I don't have any other ulterior motives."

"You, the Censorate, haven't even found out what their relationship is, yet you're just making random accusations and even trying to pin it on Zisheng. You're truly too idle!"

Wang Yan and Shao Shang looked at He Zhaojun in the middle at the same time, and were both shocked: He Zhaojun had guessed the Left Censor's first sentence!
