No one realized that Xie Hongyi had secretly thrown a silver needle into Shi Huan's body.
That silver needle contained a drop of honesty liquid. Whoever is exposed to the liquid, then every word he speaks is honesty. And he lost all points due to the exchange of that item.
According to the plot, Consort Xie was framed by someone on charges of killing concubine Li, and the person who kept the identification jade was his own servant, Shi Huan.
It was told that there was someone who gave orders to Shi Huan to frame Xie Hongyi, but the author did not tell her who it was.
In fact, from the start Shi Huan was no ordinary servant. He was sent to the kingdom to become a spy. Servants like Shi Huan were numerous. They could be eunuchs, officials, generals, dukes, or even imperial concubines.
"Liar, you must have told your servant to say that!" Duke Li started to chirp again.
Xie Hongyi pouted a little. "It's okay if the Duke doesn't believe,"
Then on walked towards Shi Huan who was still in a state of shock.
"Am I really the one who told you to say that?"
"Not you but..." Shi Huan did not continue his words.
No, he couldn't name that person.
"Your Majesty, this servant knows that His Majesty is a great Emperor and has a sharp instinct that never goes wrong. Your Majesty must know that someone is lying what not." Xie Hongyi ventured to look ahead and return to face the male protagonist.
The man was still silent. But her beautiful and sharp eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze stared back at Xie Hongyi which made the woman's knees slightly tremble.
'Ugh, the charm of the male protagonist is so sharp, if he looks at me for another five seconds, I might be able to faint!'
Fortunately Huang Long immediately turned his gaze towards Shi Huan. The former servant of Xie Hogyi was also made to tremble by him.
"Why did you put that thing in Consort Li's place?" his voice was heavy and sharp.
"It was because of the fact that Consort Xie could be blamed in this case and he got the death penalty," Shi Huan said smoothly. His face became increasingly ugly.
He really could not control his lips. Every time he was asked, his lips automatically spoke the truth. He can't let this go on much longer.
"Who told you to?"
Shi Huan bit his lips tightly until it bled. Unexpectedly, he suddenly snatched the sword from the waist of a guard there. Even more shocking, he stabbed himself in the neck. Everyone present him the hall gasped. However, Huang Long was still sitting on his throne quietly.
Shia Huan just died.
"Concubine Xie didn't kill Concubine Li," Suddenly the man made a sound.
Duke Li was surprised. He didn't say anything. He knew how Huang Long judged things. If he says no, then it really isn't. Few people could dispute his words.
"Thank you Your Majesty," Xie Hongyi paid tribute to Huang Long.
Huang Long stood up and left the hall accompanied by a eunuch and several servants followed by imperial officials including the duke of Li. The man was still staring intently at her while walking, but Xie Hongyi did not care and looked the other way.
Xie Hongyi stared at Huang Long's departure closely.
The man's steps were heavy but calm. Every step he took was like a glory. It was as if everyone would bow down under him.
After the hall was quiet, he returned to his residence with light steps but with a heavy mind.
In addition to thinking about his zero points, he also thought about the storyline. Actually, after Consort Xie's plot was put to death, he didn't read the story next. He really didn't know what happened after that.
[Congratulations for having completed the mission of saving yourself from the murder charge. 50 points have been added to your account]
Soon Xie Hongyi's sour face turned bright. He excitedly asked the system as he sat in his bed.
"System, don't you want to give a little spoiler about the continuation of this novel?
The system answers in a systematic tone. [We can't divulge any plots. Please follow the flow according to the predetermined]
"Then, did Huang Long manage to unite the world or did he even die before achieving his wish? You just have to say yes or no." Xie Hongyi tried asking the system again in a different way.
The system hesitated for a moment. It seems he was thinking.
Xie Hongyi laughed. A system is a set of data strings, why should he think for so long?
"Trust me you didn't break the rules by answering that question. Just relax."
The system finally spoke.
[No]
Clearly Xie Hongyi was shocked. His eyes widened wide. His face was a little funny when displaying that expression.
"really? Butwhy? Is he dead?"
[Sorry, the system is not allowed to answer it] This time the system said firmly.
Xie Hongyi's mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he ended up not speaking.
How could the protagonist not achieve his goal? After she realized that she knew nothing, Xie Hongyi was determined to get things done until the end of the next time. Just like this story he didn't read until the end. As a result he does not know and cannot prepare himself to face the next plot.
Hopefully next time the system will be kind enough to give it a spoiler. As Xie Hongyi thought that way, he completely forgot that the system was just a bunch of data.
