With Xie Yun's ability, it is definitely not difficult to get the Shangfu Bureau to do something. It is a capital crime for a slave to harm his master. If she is really involved...

"Cai Tianxi, detain all the Shangfu Bureau members and you go to the trial yourself."

Cai Tianxi responded quickly, but Xiao Baobao reacted with a start. She pulled Yin Ji's sleeve hard: "Brother Ji, I know, it's Xie Yun, it must be her, she is demonstrating to me."

She became more and more excited as she spoke: "You can't let Cai Tianxi go. He favors that woman and stopped me from seeing you before. He and Xie Yun are in the same group. They must have something shameful..."

"Enough!"

Yin Ji suddenly shouted, scaring Xiao Baobao who was chattering non-stop. She looked over in shock and grievance: "Brother Ji..."

Yin Ji realized that he had lost his composure, took a deep breath and calmed down. He looked down at Xiao Baobao: "It is also a crime to make false accusations casually. There must be evidence when speaking."

"There is evidence. Isn't the maidservant beside her in the Shangfu Bureau? She planted people there just for this day. Brother Ji, believe me, it's really Xie Yun. You catch her and torture her severely. She will definitely confess..."

Yin Ji rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Do you think the palace rules are just for show? How can punishment be imposed at will? If she refuses to admit it, how do you want me to end it?"

Xiao Baobao was scolded by him and dared not speak. She felt very wronged. What's the point of dying? Just a maidservant.

But she didn't dare to say anything else, and Concubine Zhuang, who had something to say, also shut up at this time.

The emperor really favored Concubine Yue. Such a big mistake was just a light talk. It's probably impossible to nail her to death today. If so... it's better to kill two birds with one stone.

Let's drag Xie Yun into the water and let them fight each other.

She spoke timidly: "Your Majesty, since Sister Yuefei is suspicious, why not summon Aunt Xie Yun to ask her? And the people from the Shangfu Bureau, why not let them confront each other face to face?"

"It's better not to do that," Liangpin, who has always been secluded and rarely interacted with people, suddenly spoke up and interrupted Concubine Zhuang's words, "I just heard from Concubine Yue that she asked the Shangfu Bureau to change it according to her preferences."

She looked at Concubine Zhuang and said, "Your Majesty was here just now, you should have heard it with your own ears, right? You forgot it in such a short time?"

Concubine Zhuang was stagnant. She didn't expect Liangpin to get involved. Although she and Xie Yun had a past, they hadn't even met in half a year since entering the palace. Who would believe that there was really a friendship between them?

But now she suddenly spoke up to distance herself from Xie Yun, making her plan fall through.

She was angry, but she didn't dare to show it. Instead, she looked at Concubine Yue reluctantly: "I dare not deceive the emperor. Sister Yue did say this just now..."

She stood up and bowed: "It's just that I really can't bear to see my sister being punished, so I thought it would be better to investigate more. I am too kind, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Empress Zhuang is not only kind, but also careful. If you didn't say it, how could I see that this is a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix?" Liangpin tilted her head and coughed lightly, "In my opinion, Empress Zhuang is not only innocent, but also meritorious."
