Faced with Wei Yingshuang's breakdown, Empress Dowager Wei stepped forward and slapped her across the face, causing Wei Yingshuang to cover her face in pain.
Realizing what had happened, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Aunt, Aunt, Shuang'er has been framed. Aunt, you must do justice for Shuang'er!"
At this moment, Wei Yingshuang seemed to remember something and shouted again, "Aunt, it was Su Ruojin! Su Ruojin framed me!"
Empress Dowager Wei, being an experienced woman, knew from the first glance that her niece, Wei Yingshuang, had been framed.
Why Su Ruojin?
"Because Shuang'er had only seen Su Ruojin before, and then lost consciousness, who else could it be but her! It's Su Ruojin, Aunt, you must kill Su Ruojin to avenge Shuang'er, Aunt."
Wei Yinshuang burst into tears.
In that instant, she felt as if her world had collapsed.
After something like this happened, how can she possibly marry her brother Yanchu?
No, no!
As long as it can be proven that she was framed by Su Ruojin and that her innocence is proven, Brother Yanchu will definitely understand her and will not despise her.
Yes, as long as Su Ruojin admits that she was the one who did it, she can clear her name.
Wei Yingshuang kept kowtowing to Empress Dowager Wei and Xiao Chenyi, "Empress Dowager Aunt, Emperor Cousin, please believe me, I was harmed by Su Ruojin, you must do justice for Shuang'er."
Seeing Wei Yingshuang like this, Empress Dowager Wei felt a little sorry for her. If it could be proven that Su Ruojin had harmed Shuang'er, there might still be a chance to make amends.
"Someone, summon Princess Chang Le," the Empress Dowager ordered.
No sooner had Su Ruojin arrived than a eunuch announced, "The Regent has arrived."
Upon hearing that the Regent had arrived, Wei Yinshuang nearly went mad.
How could she let her brother Yanchu see her like this?
She quickly pulled a palace maid to stand in front of her, cowering behind the maid.
She couldn't let her brother Yanchu see her like this, she couldn't, she couldn't.
When Empress Dowager Wei saw Xiao Yanchu arrive, she felt a headache coming on. "What brings Your Highness here?"
"I heard that Princess Fengxi was in trouble, and that it was related to Qin Wang, so I came to see what happened," Xiao Yanchu replied calmly.
Xiao Chenyi wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.
As long as Xiao Yanchu remains regent, he has the right to intervene in the affairs of the Great Chu court, especially since this matter also involves the Northern Li.
Now that things had come to this, Empress Dowager Wei could no longer care about Xiao Yanchu. She looked at Su Ruojin and asked, "Princess Chang Le, it was you who drugged Princess Feng Xi, causing this result. Do you have anything to say?"
Su Ruojin smiled coldly. Empress Dowager Wei hadn't even figured out the whole story yet, and she was already rushing to pin charges on her and exonerate Wei Yingshuang.
"May I ask Your Majesty, is there any evidence to prove that I drugged Princess Fengxi? If there is no evidence, I cannot bear this crime," Su Ruojin said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yingshuang disregarded Xiao Yanchu's presence and shouted, "It was you! I was taking a walk with you earlier, and I fainted while we were walking. When I woke up, I was... I was..." At this point, Wei Yingshuang's face turned completely red, and she could no longer continue.
"You're the one who drugged me! You framed me! Su Ruojin, I'm going to kill you!" Wei Yingshuang rushed towards Su Ruojin with red eyes.
With a single glance from Xiao Yanchu, Hu Qing stepped forward, drew his sword, and blocked Wei Yingshuang's path, frightening her into not daring to take another step.
"Your Majesty, when did our Great Chu become so unruly?" Xiao Yanchu's gaze swept over Xiao Chenyi, his eyes filled with nothing but coldness.
Xiao Chenyi involuntarily shrank his neck and had no choice but to speak up, "Someone, keep an eye on Princess Fengxi."
Two palace maids rushed forward and supported Wei Yinshuang.
Empress Dowager Wei looked at Su Ruojin and said, "Princess Chang Le, Princess Feng Xi fainted after seeing you."
The implication is that no one but Su Ruojin could possibly harm Wei Yingshuang.
