Chapter 529: Thought You Were Simple and Honest, But You Turned Out to Be Even More Malicious

"Speak! Who instructed you to do this?"

The Empress Dowager, her face stern and commanding, stared down at the trembling little eunuch kneeling on the ground.

The little eunuch raised his head, but his eyes dared not wander, and he quickly lowered his head again, his body shaking even more violently.

Next to Murong Jiu, Hong Yi suddenly spoke up:

"Miss Wang and Eunuch Li seem very pale."

This statement made everyone's eyes fall on the two of them.

Wang Yingluo tried her best to appear composed. She looked at Jun Yuyan, saw him frowning, and hurriedly spoke before the little eunuch could:

"Brother Yan, Her Majesty the Empress is clearly staging this herself. Unable to gain your favor, she deliberately contrived this play to draw you closer to her. She might even lead this little eunuch to claim that I bribed him to poison her! That way, she could dispose of me quickly!"

Her eyes reddened, and she sniffled, her face full of sorrow and grievance.
