Chapter 196 Lover
The next day, Qin Jinzhi kept Zhao Yuanying in the palace.
He left the palace and came to a house.
Pushing open the door, I saw Zhou Shulan weaving a flower wreath.
He was even humming a little tune.
She smiled as she saw Qin Jinzhi push the door open and enter.
"You've arrived."
Qin Jinzhi walked over and sat down opposite her.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom.
"I saved your life so that you could witness the destruction of the Li family. I told you I would give you a choice."
Zhou Shulan placed the flower wreath on her head.
“When I was little, my mother often made flower wreaths for me, but I could never make one like hers. I wonder if she will say I’m stupid when I see her again.”
Qin Jinzhi nodded, got up and left.
"Princess!"
Qin Jinzhi turned to look at Zhou Shulan.
A smile that Zhou Shulan had never shown before appeared on her face.
"May what you want to do succeed! I will bless you!"
Qin Jinzhi didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
Zhou Shulan reached out and poured the medicine from the porcelain bottle into her mouth.
Watching Qin Jinzhi's retreating figure, he murmured, "Thank you."
Thank you for giving me a second chance at life.
But she missed her mother so much, goodbye.
The servant at the door stepped forward and said, "Princess, the carriage and silver you asked me to prepare are ready."
Qin Jinzhi said calmly, "No need. Go in later and give the people inside a proper burial."
"yes."
Just as she reached the street corner, Cui Ying hurriedly walked towards her.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at her anxious face. "Something happened to Chidori?"
Cui Ying looked at her with an embarrassed expression, "It's not Chidori Tsukasa, it's you."
Qin Jinzhi frowned. "Me?"
Cui Ying leaned close to her and whispered, "Someone beat the petition drum, saying that you started a relationship with someone and then abandoned them, and murdered your lover."
Qin Jinzhi, ?
Everyone from Chidori's company gathered in Qin Jinzhi's study.
Everyone looked at Qin Jinzhi with a mocking expression.
Hu Aman couldn't help but laugh, "When did you get a lover? How come I didn't know?"
Qin Jinzhi rolled her eyes.
Hu Ajiao stepped forward and said, “The man said that you two pledged your lives to each other three years ago and eloped. But two months ago you received an imperial decree to return to the capital and then you cruelly murdered him.”
Qin Jinzhi was even more confused, "The one beating the drum is a ghost?"
Cui Ying moved closer to her, "Who arranged this person? They calculated that you wouldn't be able to say where you've been for the past three years, and wanted you to suffer in silence."
Qin Jinzhi is incredibly ruthless; if she wanted to kill, nine lives wouldn't be enough for her.
Could they really allow him to live and go to the capital to appeal to the emperor?
"Commander! Eunuch Hong requests an audience!"
Upon hearing the report, everyone looked at Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent.
"Please invite Eunuch Hong in."
Eunuch Hong walked in like a thief and quickly closed the door.
He turned around and found everyone in the room staring at him.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "My master and the princess have important matters to discuss, so please do us a favor."
Everyone glanced at Qin Jinzhi and then said, "Please, Eunuch Hong."
What important matters could there be to discuss? Those blatant liars have already gone to the palace to complain.
It must be His Majesty who sent Eunuch Hong to inquire about the situation.
Seeing that everyone had left, Eunuch Hong hurriedly ran to Qin Jinzhi's side.
"Oh my little princess, how can you be so leisurely? Those troublemakers have even taken the matter to His Majesty. Why don't you go to the palace and explain?"
Qin Jinzhi put her feet up on the table. "You know perfectly well where I've been for the past three years. What explanation do I have?"
The emperor knew she was going to the battlefield, and her personal eunuch, Eunuch Hong, naturally knew as well.
Eunuch Hong paced anxiously, "Who on earth is this heartless scoundrel who would do this to harm you?!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled. "What did Grandfather ask you to do?"
Eunuch Hong immediately said, "His Majesty asked me to ask you whether you should handle this matter yourself, or whether he should simply suspend it."
Qin Jinzhi put her hands behind her head. "If I just press it, wouldn't that be admitting that I really did it?"
Eunuch Hong said anxiously, "But he has your keepsake, the amulet that the Empress and His Majesty personally obtained for you at Xiangguo Temple the year you came of age. His Majesty has already sent someone to Xiangguo Temple to ask Master Wuyou, and it is the same amulet from back then."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You mean he had my lucky charm?"
Grandpa Hong nodded repeatedly, and Qin Jinzhi pulled out the red string from her clothes.
"Then what is this?"
Everyone knows that this peace charm is made by Master Wuyou himself.
The Empress ordered her to carry it with her at all times.
There is only one of its kind in the world, and she has never taken it off.
Where did that man get the talisman?
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Hong's eyes widened. "That scoundrel is incredibly audacious to dare to forge a sacred object!"
Qin Jinzhi's face showed a playful expression. "This is interesting. Since you've already complained to the Emperor, it wouldn't be right for me not to see you. Let's go, I'll go back to the palace with you."
Eunuch Hong hummed in agreement.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi opened the door, Hu Aman and the others lost their footing and fell to the ground.
She looked at the fallen people with a mocking smile, "Stop pretending to be dead. Go and find out who this Wuyou is working for. Also, go and find out if anyone has received a fake amulet from Xiangguo Temple."
After saying that, Qin Jinzhi led Eunuch Hong away from the Thousand Birds Bureau.
Inside the carriage, Qin Jinzhi closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Was the person who arranged this arrangement trying to ruin her reputation?
But she had no reputation whatsoever.
This kind of thing will definitely become gossip over tea.
It won't affect her in the slightest.
She wanted to see what the person behind this wanted.
Qin Jinzhi went straight back to the Empress's palace.
The emperor was indeed waiting there.
Zhao Yuanying also stayed by the Empress's side.
All three of them wore a hint of mockery on their faces.
Qin Jinzhi was speechless and kicked her shoe.
I climbed onto the soft couch and poured myself a cup of tea.
The four of them were quite relaxed, nestled on the soft couch.
The emperor coughed lightly. "That person, what are you going to do with him?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "I thought you would ask me what was going on with that person."
The emperor scoffed, "Me, a wise and benevolent ruler! Can't I even discern such a trivial matter?"
The Empress disagreed, saying, "I told you long ago to kill that person. How dare he tarnish my grandson's reputation! You insisted on keeping him alive."
Qin Jinzhi put a pastry in her mouth.
"This person appeared too suddenly. Don't kill him yet. If we kill him, there will be no way to verify the facts. If something really happens later, I won't be able to clear my name."
Zhao Yuanying thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't we just lock him up in jail and let him fend for himself?"
Qin Jinzhi leaned against the edge of the bed, saying, "They've come to me for help, so I have to go and see them."
After all, she's the one who frames others.
This is the first person to dare frame her.
The emperor looked at Qin Jinzhi with a gloating expression.
That very night, news of the emperor's reprimand of Qin Jinzhi spread out of the palace.
Qin Jinzhi arrived at the depths of the imperial prison.
The person locked up inside sat there very quietly.
"I heard you're my lover?"
