Facing the crowd, Su Lijin did not speak immediately.
"presumptuous!"
Xiao Shengxing slammed his hands on the desk, his eyes darkening. "Do you know that falsely accusing the Queen of adultery is a serious crime?"
Concubine Jin shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence in my hand is absolutely true. Just call the adulterous guard to confront him and you will know the answer!"
Glancing at Su Lijin, Xiao Shengxing's expression was unclear: "Bring the guard here."
The guards were brought in quickly.
"I ask you, have you committed adultery with the Queen? Confess the truth!"

Seeing that it was almost over, Su Lijin took up her handkerchief to cover her face and said aggrievedly, "I am devoted to Your Majesty and would never do such a shameful thing as adultery. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
"Your Majesty, I believe this matter warrants investigation. Although the Empress was close to the guards, she spent some time in the ancestral hall. Logically, she wouldn't commit adultery. Even though no one saw her, no one knows what she did... This matter still needs to be investigated."

Su Lijin looked at the Prime Minister. Compared to Concubine Jin, this one was the real cunning and treacherous one!
"The Prime Minister, a mere court official, is overly concerned about my family affairs!" Xiao Shengxing sneered.
"Your humble servant is also a member of Lady Jin's family. In addition to state affairs, I also want to share the emperor's worries at all times." The prime minister bowed, looking loyal.
"The Prime Minister is also loyal to the emperor. I think he is a good person." The Queen Mother nodded.
Seeing that the situation was looking good, Concubine Jin looked at Su Lijin provocatively, her eyes full of vicious intent to kill her.
Su Lijin met her gaze and suddenly asked, "What if I hadn't committed adultery?"
