"Your Majesty! You've really misunderstood! This servant had no intention of harming Your Majesty! As for any kind of poison, this servant truly knows nothing about it!"

No matter how loudly he shouted, the emperor showed no sign of softening his heart.

Along the way, Eunuch Li kept saying that he was wronged, as if he had really suffered a great injustice.

Once Eunuch Li's voice had completely faded away, Gu Jiangli helped the emperor back to his chair and poured him a cup of tea with a smile in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, now we can wait for the 'wolf' to reveal its true colors."

The emperor held a cup of hot tea but did not drink it, his gaze fixed on Gu Jiangli's face.

His usually cold and aloof face softened slightly upon seeing Gu Jiangli's confident smile.

"Eunuch Li's grievances are so great, and his voice is so loud, the Empress should be able to hear him clearly."

Gu Jiangli also laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if the Empress can't hear Eunuch Li's cries of injustice."

"Your Majesty, I have arranged for palace servants to chat near the Empress's palace. They will surely let Your Majesty know about Eunuch Li's imprisonment unintentionally."

Eunuch Li cried out his innocence all the way, mentioning the matter of "poisonous insects."

The Empress will definitely not be able to sit still.

In the Empress's eyes, Eunuch Li had been interrogated by the Emperor every night during his dinner time these past few days.

Perhaps she would trust this confidant, believing that Eunuch Li would not betray her or reveal her secrets.

But everything changed when Eunuch Li was imprisoned after protesting his innocence.

In the Empress's view, this was because Eunuch Li could not withstand the Emperor's interrogation and revealed the secret about "poisoning".

The emperor had already determined that his poisoning was related to Eunuch Li, which is why he was imprisoned.

Once Eunuch Li is imprisoned and subjected to severe torture, it's hard to guarantee he won't reveal something else.

The Emperor looked at Gu Jiangli with more appreciation in his eyes. "Li'er, what do you think the Empress will do after she finds out about all this?"

Gu Jiangli bluntly stated, "Of course we have to kill Eunuch Li, after all, a dead man's mouth won't reveal secrets."
