"Your Majesty! Is there even a need to ask such a question?"
"Look! My cat tail is still on the ground!"
Consort Li roared, fearing that Xiang Yinghan would be bewitched by that vile woman Si Jin and leave her aside.
In contrast to her, Si Jin simply lowered her head and remained silent.
The boy pursed his thin lips, seemingly not intending to argue.
After a moment, the discontent in his eyes gradually turned into exhaustion, and he continued to pick up the broom and persistently sweep up the bloodstains on the ground.
At the same time, she murmured softly:
"I have never harmed Consort Li. I don't know why these bloodstains appeared in the palace, but Your Majesty probably won't believe me, will he?"
"It's alright, Your Majesty. How would you like to punish me? I will accept the punishment."
As he spoke, a nonchalant smile curled at the corners of the boy's lips.
It looks incredibly heartbreaking.
This made Xiang Yinghan's heart clench.
yes!
Xiang Yinghan thought: Jinjin has always been a person who doesn't fight or compete. Over the years in the palace, he has only ever been bullied by others. How could he possibly take the initiative to harm someone as domineering and powerful as Consort Li?!
Presumably, Consort Li felt that Jin Jin was unworthy to be her brother and had brought shame upon her, so she wanted to use a self-inflicted injury to get rid of Jin Jin!
"Moreover, I have no idea what that tail is all about."
Si Jin looked at Xiang Yinghan, her calm tone carrying a hidden meaning, each word piercing Xiang Yinghan's heart:
"After all, I only have one life left, and I have no tail to lose."
When speaking, Si Jin deliberately slowed down her speech.
The original owner did so much for Xiang Yinghan, why should he forget?!
He wanted to make Xiang Yinghan remember, to make Xiang Yinghan experience all the good things about the original owner.
Then, the self-righteous, useless emperor will be kicked into the mud.
Make him understand that he doesn't deserve this kind of goodness!
Sure enough, those words stung Xiang Yinghan's heart.
Is Jinjin... complaining?
Yes! He has reason to complain.
It was Jinjin who helped him obtain the throne, and she even lost eight lives in the imperial prison.
Yet I placed him in the Renshou Hall, causing him so much humiliation.
Xiang Yinghan was filled with regret; her heart felt like it was bleeding, and the pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe.
Consort Li was pale and almost couldn't breathe, she was so angry!
This month, Si Jin not only killed Qing Zhu, whom she had sent, and injured her leg during the day, but also spent a long time in the palace with Xiang Lin Yuan in an ambiguous relationship, and even instigated Xiang Lin Yuan to kill her!
Who gave him the audacity to pitifully complain to His Majesty?!
Moreover, the cat demon clan has amazing hearing.
During the day, she clearly heard kissing and panting coming from inside the palace.
Yue Sijin has already done enough sordid things with Xiang Linyuan, so why is she pretending to be innocent now?!
Consort Li bared her claws, wishing she could rush forward immediately and tear Si Jin's disguise apart.
However, as soon as the claws were revealed, Xiang Yinghan gripped the wrist tightly.
The emperor's eyes were filled with rage as he shoved Consort Li aside. "Have you had enough?! You're always framing this person and that person, and now you're trying to frame Jinjin!"
"He's the Empress Dowager! He's your elder, how dare you treat him like this?!"
Consort Li was thrown far away by Xiang Yinghan, and it took her several steps back to regain her footing.
"Your Majesty!" She stared at Xiang Yinghan, her watery eyes filled with grievance:
"Do you truly believe Yue Sijin and not your concubine?"
"I'm afraid of pain too. Is it worth cutting off my own tail to get rid of such an insignificant lowly woman?"
"Furthermore, today he made me kneel outside the palace, and shortly after, he summoned the Regent into the Renshou Palace!"
"Xiang Linyuan has been inside the hall for more than half an hour; he might already be..."
"Shut up!!!" Xiang Yinghan was completely enraged.
His pride is the purest and most flawless, the eternal white moonlight in his heart.
He never even touched her, how could he let another man touch her?!
Xiang Yinghan took two steps forward, raised his large hand, and slapped Consort Li twice across the face:
"Slandering the Empress Dowager, can you bear the responsibility for that crime?!"
"The Empress Dowager has always been a woman of impeccable morals and would never do such a thing. Do not mention it again, or it will be more than just a slap in the face!"
"You, kneel down immediately and apologize to the Empress Dowager!"
The two extremely harsh slaps caused Consort Li's cheeks to swell up.
Bleeding gums trickled down the corner of her lips, staining the rouge on her face.
She was a little confused, unable to understand why things had turned out this way!
She brought His Majesty here intending to slap Yue Sijin twice and make him kneel down and apologize to her!
Why is she being forced to kneel before Yue Sijin after being slapped twice?!
On what grounds?!

That concludes today's update. Below are some of Jinjin's green tea quotes.
[Si Jin]: I didn't hit Consort Li, but I have no power or influence, so no one will believe me.
