Hongli looked at the people kneeling below and thought about Fu Cha Zhuying's miserable condition at the moment, and felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.

He suddenly stood up and kicked Duoxi. "You little bastard, where did the banana leaves in the steamer come from? Tell me now!"

Qingying stood silently at the back, looking at the angry Hongli and just found it funny.

He was a prince, yet he did something to a servant.

Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?

Duoxi was kicked by Hongli and burst into tears as if she had lost her parents.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't know there was a hidden secret hidden in this steamer. Please investigate it. I really didn't know anything!"

Hongli became even angrier when he heard this, and kicked him twice more.

Seeing that it was really inappropriate, Qingying stepped forward, grabbed Hongli's hand and stopped his actions.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I know that Ying Gege was framed. Your Highness must be furious, but the matter must be thoroughly investigated before you can give Ying Gege an explanation."

"This servant is in charge of the small kitchen in Qiongyu Courtyard, yet he claims to be completely unaware of the steamer issue. I don't believe him. It would be better to have him dragged out and given thirty lashes of the cane before questioning him."

"It's better than letting this slave howl like a ghost and a wolf like this, causing people to criticize him."

Hongli's chest heaved violently for a moment, but he was finally persuaded by Qingying.

Then he nodded, turned around and sat down in his original place. "Wang Qin, didn't you hear what Concubine Qing said? Why don't you quickly drag this dog slave away?!"

Having said this, Duoxi's crying suddenly stopped.

Without waiting for the people Wang Qin ordered to come forward, he suddenly crawled a few steps on his knees and knelt in front of Jin Yuyan who was also kneeling. "Jin Gege, please save me, please save me, I am only doing what you say!"

Jin Yuyan was stunned by Duoxi's actions, and her face turned pale.

At this moment, except Hongli and Qingying, everyone else was still kneeling.

Hearing Duoxi's words, they all turned around and looked at Jin Yuyan.

The other party also reacted quickly. "What nonsense are you talking about, you little dog slave? When did I ever order you to do such a thing?!"

This one sentence seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to Duoxi.

"Girl Jin, I have always followed your instructions. Most of the things used in the small kitchen were given to me by people close to you. I only used them for Girl Ying's daily meals. How can you...how can you deny it..."

Duoxi's lips were trembling, and he looked extremely angry, which made his words more credible.

But Jin Yuyan couldn't just wait to die like this.

She knelt straight and turned to look at Hongli, "Your Highness, I don't know what this servant is talking about. The things I use are always obtained by the servants around me from the kitchen. I have never had any contact with the people in the small kitchen in this courtyard. Please understand!"

"Girl Jin, I'm just a servant in the palace. I can barely read. How could I have come up with such an intricate method as the banana leaves? You gave me these things at my command. You must not do such a thing as abandoning me after I've done my job!"

Duoxi's voice continued, and Jin Yuyan's expression became more gloomy.

Suddenly she raised her hand, pointing three fingers to the sky. "Your Highness, I swear that this matter has nothing to do with me. I have never intended to harm Princess Ying. Please investigate clearly."

"Swear? If everyone who does something evil can clear themselves of suspicion simply by swearing, then what are the rules and laws for? Jin Gege's words are truly laughable!"

As soon as Jin Yuyan finished speaking, Gao Xiyue on the other side spoke up.

There was a hint of excitement in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

Evil woman.

Finally I got the chance!

Jin Yuyan didn't want anyone to dare to step on her at this critical juncture.

Suddenly turning to look at Gao Xiyue, "What you said, Lady Yue, really puzzles me. You have never been involved in the affairs of Qiongyu Courtyard. Why are you so sure that this was done by me?"
