The Peony Hall was dead silent, like the silence before a storm.
When Chen Yin stepped in, she saw that the hall was full of people. When they saw her appear, their eyes were as sharp as knives. If it weren't for Chen Yin's incredible potion level, knives would be flying all over the sky at this moment.
"Queen Mother!"
Chen Yin smiled gently and bowed respectfully.
The empress on the throne had her hands on her temples, feeling extremely annoyed. She had endless things to deal with every day, state affairs and family matters, and none of them were worry-free.
Shen Qiangwei's red skirt was like a flame, and the murderous intent in her eyes seemed to be tangible. He wished he could kill her immediately, pull out her tendons and skin her, and make her into an oil lamp to burn as a candle.
Chen Qiangwei raised her red lips and said, "Sister, you really made me suffer! Did you crack the S-level healing potion? Haha, you have such a talent but you kept it hidden. You worked so hard for a prince of an enemy country and gave up the potion formula."
Xue Mei was furious. She shouted, pointing at Chen Yin's face, "Fourth Prince, you are willing to give up such a potion! This is not something you developed. Do you know how much effort Qiangwei put into it? Even if you hate her, you shouldn't treat her like this!"
"Yes! Qiangwei has suffered a lot during this period. Xiaoyin, why do you treat her like this? Can't you sisters work together for the country? You must give an explanation for this matter, otherwise you will not be able to escape the charge of treason!" Xuan Ming frowned and glared at Chen Yin with gritted teeth.
After going through so much hardship, Shen Qiangwei finally had a big outburst, but Shen Yin used the frame-up as evidence, with sinister intentions.
Xuan Ming really couldn't imagine how a twenty-year-old female could be so vicious. She didn't seem like his daughter at all.
Shen Qilin was even more furious. "What's the difference between you and a beast? Chen Yin, if you don't give a reasonable explanation today, you can't escape the blame!"
Treason is no joke. Once it gets out, even if Chen Yin is immortal due to her potion talent, she will not be able to ascend the throne as emperor in the future. The clan members and various forces will not allow a princess with an unsteady political stance to ascend the throne as emperor.
Chen Yin didn't comment, "I did it, what's wrong?"
There was dead silence at the scene, and everyone looked at her in shock, suspecting that she had gone mad.
Xuan Ming turned to the Empress, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? The evidence is irrefutable, and she has admitted it herself. This matter has nothing to do with Qiangwei!"
He frowned and stepped forward, grabbing the empress's wrist. "Your Majesty, Qiangwei was raised by you and me, and we treated her like our own daughter. Now she has suffered such humiliation and even lost her position as princess. Many people laugh at her behind her back. She has endured countless hardships to develop the S-level healing potion. She has no father or mother. If even you and I don't stand up for her, how pitiful she must be!"
Xuan Ming shed tears with every word, his heart and eyes filled with love for his daughter. He simply knelt on the ground and asked the empress to deal with Chen Yin and restore Chen Qiangwei's status as a princess.
The others also knelt down, and the whole hall was filled with people kneeling. Only Chen Yin stood out from the crowd.
As his eyes swept across this group of people, the corners of Chen Yin's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Even if the empress was furious about the potion, she shouldn't have advised her like this, making it seem like she was forcing the emperor to abdicate. The empress was so suspicious, wouldn't she have reacted directly?
If you dare to force the empress to deal with Chen Yin today, you will force her to abdicate tomorrow.
The empress was clear-eyed and had a sharp mind. A mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she quickly covered it up. She continued to lower her head, looking tired, and did not speak for a long time.
Chen Qiangwei and the others were determined to skin Chen Yin alive.
"Your Majesty, the public opinion between the two countries this time was also caused by Chen Yin. If it weren't for her frame-up, how could Lu Chuanjun and the others chase me like mad dogs? I was implicated in every single thing because of Chen Yin. From beginning to end, it had nothing to do with me!"
When it comes to the matter of Yaoyue Country, Shen Qiangwei is really aggrieved, and there is no falsehood in it.
Thinking about how I have spent all my energy fighting with Yao Yueguo these days, but invisibly became Chen Yin's thug, it is really hateful!
The empress had a splitting headache. She opened her eyes, glanced at Chen Yin, and frowned: "Why is it getting more and more complicated? What's going on? Do you have any evidence?"
Shen Qiangwei was waiting for this sentence.
"Yes, of course not, Zhou Yi, come in!"
As Shen Qiangwei finished speaking, Zhou Yi, dressed in a black uniform, strode forward. He had a gentle and harmless temperament, and a handsome and outstanding appearance. He saluted calmly, “Your Majesty!”
The Empress became interested. "Are you a witness?"
Zhou Yi knelt and said, "Your Majesty, I have had a lot of contact with His Highness the Fourth Prince recently. His Highness has saved me from danger time and time again, and I should repay him with my life. However, His Highness has acted so erratically and cold-bloodedly that I cannot bear to see this. However, His Highness's false accusation against the Marquis is true."
Zhou Yi kowtowed and said, "If I tell a lie, I will punish you as you wish!"
Shen Qiangwei curled her lips, "Your Majesty, this guard has risked his life, how could it be false? If Your Majesty is willing to investigate this matter, he will definitely find out everything. Even if Chen Yin has monstrous means, he will not be able to completely hide his tracks."
After saying that, Shen Qiangwei couldn't wait to look at Shen Yin, expecting to see her dumbfounded and stunned look because she was forced.
Chen Yin was indeed surprised for a moment, and her eyes swept across Zhou Yi.
When their eyes met, Zhou Yi lowered his head first, feeling guilty.
Chen Qiangwei was secretly happy in her heart. Chen Yin finally had his day. It must be unpleasant to be backstabbed by someone you like, right?
What's more, Zhou Yi was rescued by Chen Yin.
Shen Qiangwei understood matters of the heart very well. Regardless of gender, everyone had a desire to protect, especially when it came to beautiful creatures. They always had an extraordinary tolerance towards beautiful people, which was difficult to resist even for the most noble and prominent people.
Shen Qiangwei not only wants to kill people today but also wants to destroy their hearts.
Zhou Yi raised his eyes to look at Chen Yin, "Your Highness's kindness can only be repaid in the next life. I cannot lie."
Chen Yin looked at them for a long time, then suddenly smiled, breaking her usual habit. She immediately turned to the Empress and said, "That's right, Queen Mother. I was the one who orchestrated this matter. I just wanted to muddy the waters. I didn't expect Marquis Shen to be so horrible. He's even disturbed the royal family of Yaoyue Nation."
"Chen Yin, since you have already admitted to treason, what else is there to say!"
Chen Qiangwei secretly said that God helps me. Chen Yin also has his moments of confusion. It seems that he has been bewitched by the beauty trap and has become stupid.
Stupid, mere emotions are worthy of disturbing the desire to climb!
"Your Majesty, you heard everything. Chen Yin treated me so badly! Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me!"
Shen Qiangwei knelt on the ground, her eyes full of pleading and grievance, looking at the empress as if she was a child.
The empress closed her eyes and sighed helplessly, not wanting to look at Chen Yin again, "Xiao Yin, you disappoint me so much."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the group was ecstatic.
Chen Yin finally failed.
"Queen Mother! I did all this, it has nothing to do with Fourth Sister!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed out, knelt on the ground resolutely, and took the responsibility alone.
Chen Yin took a closer look and was stunned.
"Third, Third Sister?"
It was Shen Yiyi.
