With the Empress Dowager and the Emperor present, the Empress dared not say or do anything.
Her courage in protecting Bilian was a slap in the face to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
Don't forget, this position of Empress was given by the Emperor! He can take it back at any time!
The Empress could only watch helplessly as Bilian was dragged out, listening to her pitiful screams over and over again.
Until she was slowly dragged away.
Xu Qingzhi did not stop.
Bilian is merely bullying others by taking advantage of the Empress's power; the real culprit has not yet been dealt with.
Xu Qingzhi's gaze remained icy.
"Just now, that vile woman said that the Empress doted on her son so much that she punished Ye Chen."
Xu Qingzhi removed her nail guards.
They undressed Ye Chen.
He pointed to the bruises on Ye Chen's body.
"Ye Chen has a total of one hundred bruises, big and small, and two hundred needle marks alone! I had no idea that the Empress doted on Ye Chen like this!"
The Empress Dowager looked at the wounds on Ye Chen's body.
He was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
"Your Majesty! How dare you treat my grandson like this!"
"No, Your Majesty, listen to my excuses! No, listen to my explanation! These wounds, I didn't do them! It must have been Bilian who took advantage of my power and did them behind my back!"
Anyway, Bi Lian has already gone offline.
Let her take the blame.
"Hehe, the Empress has quite the scheme! Knowing that Bilian is dead and cannot testify, she has pinned all the blame on her!"
"Ye Chen, today the Emperor and Empress Dowager will stand up for you. Just tell the truth and don't be afraid."
The Empress Dowager held Ye Chen's hand with heartache.
"Good child, tell your grandmother, who inflicted these wounds on you?"
[Third Brother! Quick! The Empress Dowager has made her move! Now is the time to act! Stand up straight! Say whatever you have to say! It's best to embellish and fabricate some stories! Anyway, Grandmother has already concluded that the Empress has been abusing you, so no matter what you say, Grandmother will believe you! Listen to me, listen to me! Your sister won't harm you!]
Ye Chen glanced at the Empress and slowly raised his hand.
Pointing at her.
"Yes, Mother."
"Lying! You're lying! Consort Xu, it must be you who conspired with Ye Chen to frame me! What are your motives?! You've just gained the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and you can't wait to drag me down from the position of Empress?!"
"I truly cannot stand you sitting in the position of Empress, because you are unworthy of it!"
"Even if I disapprove, it's still a contest between you and me! I will never use an innocent child as a stepping stone on my path to palace intrigue!"
"I will never have children in my life. My desire for offspring is stronger than anyone else's. How could I possibly harm someone else's child!"
