Chapter 895: The Downfall of Jin Guifei (4)

As Jin Guifei entered, she saw the Emperor surrounded by a menacing aura, seated in the court, personally interrogating the palace maids and eunuchs around Yan Meiren. As Lord Jiu Wu, Emperor Jin Ming naturally possessed an inherent majestic presence that instilled fear and awe in all who saw him, without him even showing anger. His additional fury now amplified his imperial power to its peak.

Jin Guifei approached with apprehension and bowed before the Emperor, but he merely snorted coldly and did not permit her to rise, a gesture that made her heart sink, realizing that the Emperor suspected her.

She composed herself, forcing a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Your Majesty, the night grows deeper and tomorrow you must attend the morning assembly. Please, allow me to handle Yan Meiren's case. I will find the poisoner and provide an explanation to you and the young prince to soothe Yan Meiren's spirit in heaven!"
