The little eunuch was awoken with a splash of water.

Looking at the eunuch carefuly, Ye Zhen Zhen figures that he is around 15 years old, with a white face, looked quite weak as well. When he first opened his eyes, he was abit out of place, but when he saw Ye Zhen Zhen, surprisingly he was not shocked or anxious, he even properly bowed to Ye Zhen Zhen.

Ye Zhen Zhen, was sitting, stiffen her expression and placed her tea cup down, "Wang Xiao Hu, do you admit your fault?"

"Replying to your majesty, I do not know what mistake have I done"

"Ding Da Xiang didn't die, he already admitted." Even though Ding Da Xiang already died, but Kun Ning Palace has managed to keep it down, and even if the news was leaked, the person here now won't even have the chance to know.

His expression changed and returned back to normal in a split second. Though even this slight action was caught by Ye Zhen Zhen.

"I do not understand what Niang niang has said, I hope niang niang can explain"

"Your Shi Fu, works in the imperial kitchen, and is in charged of the snacks department, this year the snow skin shrimp mooncake was made by him. However the day he made the mooncake you were not on duty, that's why when I was catching people I missed you out, allowing you the chance to go report to the emperor. Today, what did you want to tell the emperor? To tell how the empress ordered someone to force you to put the Xiang Fei Zi into the mooncake ??"

"Niang niang, I was framed, framed…"

"Framed? Okay, then why don't you tell me, as a cook in the kitchen, what is so important that you have to go report to the emperor personally?"

"i.. i…"

"This is clearly a good show that you have planned with Ding Da Xiang! That day you sneaked into the kitchen, and placed the Xiang Fei Zi into the mooncake. Ding Da Xiang has also worked with you, that he will commit suicide today, and to purposely place some Xiang Fei Zi on him, afraid that no one would find out that I would be definitely linked to the case. And on the other hand, you act liked you found out about me being suspicious and wanted to report to the emperor, and because this involves me, after listening to you, surely he will come to Kun Ning Palace to ask me about it, and he will surely find the evidence on his body then. By that time, even if I were to jump into the yellow river, I would be able to prove my innocence, is that right???"

"…."

"If this plan was successful, not only can you get rid of Li Concubine, you will also make me take on this blame, and perhaps to even vacate the empress's position. This, plan, so detail planned,… "

"…."

Hitting the table loudly Ye Zhen Zhen continued loudly " Speak the truth, who is the one who made you do this!"

Looking at the situation Wang Xiao Hu, realize he will die anyway, therefore he harden his heart and said "I admit, but it has nothing to do with others, I have always disliked Li Concubine, therefore I could not stand it anymore and made such a mistake, whether you want to kill me or not, I will accept"

"How loyal", Ye Zhen Zhen laughed, she stood up, circling Wang Xiao Hu twice, then slowly continued "Wang Xiao Hu, it doesn't matter what Hui Consort gave you" looking at the kneeling eunuch who started shivering with a terrified expression, and super pale. Closing her eyes a little, "You only need to know, what she can do, I can also, but what she can't do, I will be able to do"

Her husband is the current emperor, her grandfather is the prime minister, the most powerful 2 person in this empire is also related to her, that's why she is able to say so, not to scare anyone especially.

The current Wang Xiao Hu, already has tears streaming down his face, bowing non-stop, hitting his head to the floor. "Empress, Hui Consort used my parents, brother and sister's life to forced me, that's why i… I .. I will speak the truth, but I beg your majesty to help me, I deserve death, but my family is innocent".

Sitting back down, Ye Zhen Zhen, shook her head, " Stand up first, Hui Consort must have just scared you, you are still young, easy to be fooled, Whatever that happens in the palace does not implicate what is happening outside. Hui Consort's father is not foolish, if your family is really innocent, he definitely won't help her daughter to harm the innocent, to use his own job as a wager to try to win something so small."

Finally calming down, Wang Xiao Hu ceased crying, initially he thought that he would not be able to escape death, and was only thinking to safe his family, but after listening to the empress, he finally can be more calm.

"After your death, I will make sure your family gets compensation" Added Ye Zhen Zhen warmly. Ji Wu Jiu who was sitting behind the screen can't help but wonder if that is the proper way to console someone. Furthermore an eunuch that dares to harm an imperial concubine, was it necessary to even console him.

Ready to face everything, Wang Xiao Hu, who was initially not someone who lies too much hope in his life, now that he knows his fate from the empress, he was actually touched. "Thank you for your mercy your majesty, in my next life I would be willing to work as a cow or horse for you, to pay back your mercy…. Niang Niang, I still have a question, how do you know it was Hui Consort that made me do this?"

Ye Zhen Zhen, laughed, " I was just guessing, who knew one trial and I got it"

"…"
