Chapter 63: Conclusive Evidence

Conclusive Evidence

With grief and indignation in her eyes, Talented Lady Sun spoke decisively. The person she pointed at was naturally none other than Zhang Guifei!

This was a matter of course, as Talented Lady Sun had already been making a scene with Zhang Guifei for quite a while. But at this moment, seeing Talented Lady Sun point directly at Zhang Guifei, Empress Duan, who had just arrived, was stunned. She turned to look at Zhang Guifei, but then instantly flew into a rage.

"Audacious! Daring to talk nonsense in front of me, Talented Lady Sun, I think you are tired of living!... Someone, Talented Lady Sun is slandering a high-ranking Noble Consort, drag her down and give her twenty heavy boards!"

Empress Duan's voice was stern, and her beautiful and graceful face was filled with anger. After she finished, several little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward, dragged Talented Lady Sun, and were about to walk out.

The air was filled with tension, and everyone was startled by Empress Duan's decisiveness. Talented Lady Sun, who was being dragged away, clearly hadn't expected this either, so after being stunned for a long while, she finally came to her senses.

"Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress, please listen to this servant, this servant really didn't lie, Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the Empress, spare my life, this servant really didn't lie..."

Talented Lady Sun was anxious and panicked, her heart-wrenching appearance unbearable to look at. But Empress Duan remained cold and stern. However, just as Talented Lady Sun was about to be dragged out of the courtyard, Empress Duan suddenly turned her eyes to glance at Talented Lady Sun, and then said at the right moment:

"Wait!"

The sound of the sentence caused the little eunuchs dragging Talented Lady Sun to stop. Instantly, Talented Lady Sun was also stunned, but then she immediately adjusted her tone and said seriously and earnestly:

"Your Majesty the Empress, this servant really didn't lie. Your Majesty the Empress, you must seek justice for this servant!"

"Alright, don't talk to me about seeking justice or not. I only deal with matters, not people. And for this matter today, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't give another chance..."

"However, considering you are usually honest and dutiful, I will give you one more chance... But Talented Lady Sun, in front of everyone, I must remind you: Zhang Guifei is a high-ranking Imperial Noble Consort. In this inner palace, besides me, only Zhang Guifei has the highest seniority. And now you are saying such things about Zhang Guifei, you must have conclusive evidence! Otherwise, it is not that I am shielding anyone out of favoritism, but when the time comes, the charge of slander is not something you, Talented Lady Sun, can bear... I have said this, Talented Lady Sun should be able to understand, right!"

Looking at Talented Lady Sun, Empress Duan spoke unhurriedly. Her face, which had just been cold and stern, was now unusually calm. Hearing this, Talented Lady Sun nodded without thinking. Then, Empress Duan turned to look at Zhang Guifei, who had been silent all along.

"Then I have arranged it this way, I wonder if Zhang Guifei has any objections?"

"I await your decision, Your Majesty the Empress."

Zhang Guifei was as calm as ever, her gentle face still showing no trace of panic. Hearing this, Empress Duan also smiled slightly.

"Good, in the end, I still believe in Zhang Guifei. It's just that since Talented Lady Sun has said so, I must give her an explanation, otherwise it will be hard to convince the public. I believe Zhang Guifei should understand me."

"Yes, this concubine understands."

"Hehe, that's good~!"

In front of everyone, Empress Duan and Zhang Guifei spoke slowly. After finishing, her expression tightened, and she turned to look at Talented Lady Sun, who had been dragged back.

"Then good, Talented Lady Sun, now tell me in front of everyone: you point directly to the fire at Rongxin Yuan tonight as being intentional, and that the murderer who caused Talented Lady Lan's death is Zhang Guifei. Then may I ask, what conclusive evidence do you have to prove it?"

"Replying to Your Majesty the Empress, this servant has evidence to prove it!"

As she spoke, Talented Lady Sun turned her hideous gaze to Zhang Guifei, who was to the side, and then said word by word:

"Because, this servant saw with my own eyes that the murderer who set the fire is someone from Yongxin Palace!" ===== CHAPTER 64 =====
