After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Finally, when Wu Wenyuan was found, he was already a bloated corpse.

Upon seeing this in court, the Minister's wife fainted immediately.

Even the usually composed and deep-seated Minister of State did not look too good.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review immediately rebuked Zeng Jitian, who was kneeling on the ground, "Who exactly are you! Why did you harm Wu Wenyuan!"

"Zeng Jitian." He only answered with a name, refusing to answer the question of why he wanted to harm Wu Wenyuan.

Pei Yun was also present that day, acting on the Empress Dowager's orders, and raised an eyebrow at Zeng Jitian.

But the lackey who always followed Wu Wenyuan kowtowed loudly, "Sir! I can testify that Zeng Jitian pushed Young Master Wu into the lake!" He glared at Zeng Jitian as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Indeed, if he doesn't absolve himself of responsibility, then it's their fault—they failed to keep a close eye on Young Master Wu. After all, the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat sent someone to tell them to take good care of Wu Wenyuan.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review: "Go on."

"That day, after I heard the sound of something falling into the water..."

This fact prompted the lackey to embellish the story several times, claiming it was because of love turned to hate over a beautiful woman, or because of long-standing resentment, and finally even saying...

"That day, Zeng Jitian, dressed in Young Master Wu's clothes, tried to force himself on the courtesan Hanxiang, but Young Master Wu discovered him. Young Master Wu has always been a chivalrous and righteous man, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, but little did he know that Zeng Jitian, who had taken aphrodisiacs, would push him into the water!"

This sounded incredibly far-fetched, and Pei Yun couldn't help but frown.

But the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review had been in officialdom for so many years and knew that the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat was not someone to be trifled with, even though he knew what kind of person Wu Wenyuan was.

He coughed. "Zeng Jitian, do you recognize him?"

Zeng Jitian chuckled.

Suddenly, Hanxiang, who had been kneeling to the side, collapsed to the ground, perhaps because she was exhausted and frightened.

Pei Yun, who was closer, saw that Hanxiang was looking at Zeng Jitian with a bewildered expression, her mouth still moving slightly.

"..."

But no one heard the woman's voice.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review waved his hand, signaling the soldiers beside him to take the unconscious Hanxiang away.

Because of Hanxiang's movements, he didn't hear what Zeng Jitian said, and asked again:

"Zeng Jitian, do you recognize him?"

Zeng Jitian opened his eyes.

The blazing sun overhead made the executioner's silver knife flash, and in that brief moment of clarity, he recalled Hanxiang's words.

"not him!"

Zeng Jitian closed his eyes and chuckled for a moment.

I'm hallucinating again...

"Who are you!" the executioner roared, standing up. "Disrupting the execution ground is a serious crime!"

A woman's melodious voice drifted over, but it couldn't hide her teasing: "When you were in my room, there wasn't so much order and order!"

Zeng Jitian suddenly opened his eyes and saw the woman flip onto the stage. She was wearing a white, tight-fitting robe, which was different from the women's usual embroidered and beaded clothing. This simple outfit made her look even more heroic.

Hanxiang kicked away the executioner above Zeng Jitian and used her knife to cut the ropes binding him.

Zeng Jitian was still dumbfounded. Hanxiang smiled at his expression and said, "Fool."

He then turned around, gripped Zeng Jitian's hand tightly, and shouted at the executioner.

"not him!"

“This whole thing was done by me, Hanxiang, alone.”

"and--"

"This commoner woman wishes to file a complaint against Wu Wenyuan, the son of the Minister."
