Fortunately, that was all in the past life.
Xue Zhiyi rubbed his heavy head and stared blankly at the grass ring lying in his palm.
She murmured: "Who are you..."
But for some reason, Huo Wuyou's face flashed through her mind for no reason.
Immediately, she shook her head again.
At that time, Huo Wuyou had clearly died on the way to exile, and his grave was probably already covered with grass and birds.
How could it be him?
She really fell asleep.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise.
She was not on duty this morning, and when she woke up, it was already late.
She looked out the window and saw that it was people from the Ye Ting Si who were ordered to arrest Lan Ying.
Xue Zhiyi just watched Lan Ying crying and struggling silently, without saying a word, and simply got up to put on some makeup.
As expected, someone has to take the blame for Gong Hua's incident.
Ge Yuanhui is from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and cannot act rashly. He was already punished yesterday.
Not only that, with Xue Zhiyi's planning, Concubine Ge might have suspected that Lan Ying was her accomplice, and she must want to capture Lan Ying and interrogate her thoroughly.
Therefore, the person who could be brought to the Ye Ting Si for trial could only be Lan Ying.
When Jingchun came to see Xue Zhiyi, she was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
Jingchun was also a little panicked: "Sister Zhiyi, will everything be okay?"
Xue Zhiyi only smiled slightly: "It's okay, but they will come to summon you and me in a while."
"Ah..." Jingchun was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.
Xue Zhiyi said calmly, "The one who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor is Ge Yuanhui. Lan Ying is at best trying to conceal the truth. She will definitely confess everything that happened yesterday. When the time comes, we just need to keep our mouths shut."
Jing Chun waved his hands repeatedly: "I...I can't do it!"
Xue Zhiyi knew that it was futile to try to persuade such a coward, and intimidation was the only effective method.
So she smiled slightly and said, "If you can't keep your mouth shut, I will put all the blame on you. Anyway, Lan Ying just wants to get away, she will definitely cooperate with me. Lan Ying is the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister. When the time comes, the Ye Ting Division will need to find someone to take the blame. Guess who will be the scapegoat, you or me?"
Jingchun's face turned pale with fear: "How could you do this..."
Xue Zhiyi looked innocent: "What's wrong with me? Don't forget who helped you out. You can't repay kindness with hatred."
After that, he smiled kindly and said, "Be good, remember?"
She knew that Jingchun was not a bad person, but was just used to being a coward, so she had to scare him like this.
Sure enough, after he said this, someone from the Ye Ting Si came in the afternoon.
Jing Chun was trembling, grabbing Xue Zhiyi's arm and not daring to let go all the way until they arrived at the Ye Ting Division, where they were forcibly separated by the Ye Ting Division people.
The torture chamber of the Ye Ting Si was damp, dirty, smelly, and uncomfortably dark, but Xue Zhiyi knew that he was not here to be tortured, so he had no reason to panic and just sat down under the guidance of the eunuch.
The eunuch was quite old and his hair was already gray.
The old people in the palace are naturally the best at judging people and treating them differently, so they will not be too harsh on the people in Jianzhang Palace.
He pinched his throat and asked, "Miss Zhiyi, the Ye Ting Division is not an unreasonable place. I only ask a few questions. Please tell me everything you know."
Xue Zhiyi only smiled politely and said, "Of course, please ask, eunuch."
The old eunuch said, "Something went wrong with the palace flower yesterday. As someone from Jianzhang Palace, you naturally know about it. We just want to ask, what happened that day? Who handled the palace flower?"
Xue Zhiyi remained calm and replied with a smile, "The palace flowers were damaged at the time, and it was Miss Ge Yuanhui who repaired them using the beeswax from Lanying's hairpin. His Majesty and the Queen Mother praised them both at the time."
But the old eunuch said, "But Lan Ying admitted that it was you who repaired the palace flowers, and Miss Ge did not do it."
Xue Zhiyi only uttered a doubtful "Oh," "But why would Miss Ge deceive the emperor?"
After hearing this, the old eunuch was also in trouble.
If this matter is related to Xue Zhiyi, then Ge Yuanhui is deceiving the emperor. This is a crime punishable by death and extermination of the entire clan. Who would dare to submit such a result? It's simply courting death!
Therefore, the person who made the mistake could not be Xue Zhiyi, nor Ge Yuanhui who was repairing the palace flowers. Then, the problem could only be with Lan Ying's beeswax.
However, the old eunuch was not willing to offend the Chief Justice, which was the most embarrassing thing.
But Xue Zhiyi seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "I wonder how much time Your Majesty has given the eunuchs to investigate this matter?"
The old eunuch was stunned and did not respond.
But Xue Zhiyi asked, "Half a month?"
The old eunuch felt that the woman seemed to be confident about everything, and did not show any panic at all, and even had a smile on her face, which made him inexplicably frightened.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Zhiyi just assumed that he agreed and said, "The eunuchs will investigate slowly. Your difficulties will be solved with time."
After coming out of the Ye Ting Si, Xue Zhiyi waited for a while before Jing Chun came out.
Her pale face had not yet recovered. Looking at Xue Zhiyi, she said unhappily, "As you wish, I didn't say anything nonsense."
"I know you are not that kind of person." Xue Zhiyi said with a smile.
Jing Chun really couldn't stand the interrogation, but with what Xue Zhiyi had just said, the Ye Ting Si no longer needed to interrogate Jing Chun. They just asked a few questions as if to pretend and then released him.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi leave, Jingchun followed closely behind: "Sister Zhiyi, are we all okay now?"
"It's okay." Xue Zhiyi said.
Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi stopped and Jingchun didn't brake in time and bumped into her back.
"What's wrong, Sister Zhiyi?"
Xue Zhiyi just looked in one direction and saw a group of people busy moving something.
