The Imperial Censorate of the Jin Kingdom was directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor. Other than handling cases that the Ministry of Justice could not solve, the most important thing about the Imperial Censorate was Mo Rongzhan's secret guards. As for what these secret guards did, only Mo Rongzhan knew.
The Imperial Censorate's dungeon didn't seem particularly gloomy and cold. Even though it was a bit dim, it was very quiet, so quiet that it made one's heart go cold.
Ye Yaoyao's entire body was trembling. Even though there was sunlight shining on her, she still felt cold. It was cold to the bone, and every pore on her body was shivering.
"What did you do to me?" Ye Yaoyao's lips were already purple from the cold. She curled up and glared at Shen Yi. He clearly hadn't used any torture on her, so why did she feel like she wanted to die?
"I haven't done anything to you, but you already can't take it. Miss Ye, the Imperial Censorate's torture isn't something you can handle," Shen Yi said calmly.
Ye Yaoyao gritted her teeth, "I want to see the emperor. I'm innocent."
Shen Yi's smile became mocking, "Everyone who comes in says they're innocent."
"If anything happens to me, the Empress Dowager won't let you off," Ye Yaoyao cried.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die," Shen Yi said.
Ye Yaoyao soon realized that not letting her die was the cruelest. She couldn't feel her body anymore. It was as if she was extremely cold and extremely hot. There was also a bone-piercing pain that made her hair go numb. She would rather be killed.
"I want to see the Empress Dowager …" Ye Yaoyao's breath was weak and she couldn't speak. She clearly didn't have any wounds on her body. What did they do to her?
"You can see the Empress Dowager, but first tell me what you did to her," Shen Yi said coldly.
Ye Yaoyao's expression was lifeless. She endured the pain all over her body, "Then call Mo Rongzhan over, I'll tell him."
"It's already like this, and you still want to see the emperor?" A middle-aged woman appeared beside Shen Yi. She looked at Shen Yi, "It seems your methods won't work against this kind of woman. I'll do it."
"Aunt Yin, what do you want to do?" Shen Yi hurriedly asked.
"Don't ask, just leave it to me." Aunt Yin stared at Ye Yaoyao like a poisonous snake.
Shen Yi nodded. He knew that it must be the Emperor's intention for Aunt Yin to appear here. "Aunt Yin, I'll be leaving first."
"Who are you?" Ye Yaoyao looked at this completely unfamiliar middle-aged woman and became even more vigilant.
Aunt Yin smiled. "It doesn't matter who I am. You killed Aunt Cheng, didn't you?"
Aunt Cheng? Ye Yaoyao was shocked. She stared at Aunt Yin vigilantly. "What are you trying to say?"
"The Empress Dowager has always been very good to Aunt Cheng and would never easily kill her. Her death cannot be separated from you." Aunt Yin sneered. She did not have many friends in her life. She had only befriended Aunt Cheng when she was in the palace. Now that her good friend had been killed, she had to avenge her.
"So what? Do you have proof?" Ye Yaoyao sneered.
Aunt Yin glanced at her. "You did so much to get the Emperor to notice you. You're quite pretty, but your heart is too evil."
Ye Yaoyao did not think that Mo Rongzhan would kill her. After all, the Empress Dowager's life was still in her hands. As long as she gritted her teeth and endured, she would return to Cining Palace.
"The Emperor said that you can stay in Cining Palace if you want, but you can't keep this face. Otherwise, people will recognize you as Noble Yao," Aunt Yin said expressionlessly.
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Yaoyao asked in panic. She did not believe that Mo Rongzhan would be so cruel. How could he treat her like this?
Aunt Yin smiled. "Won't you find out in a moment?"
"What is that?" Ye Yaoyao looked at the thing in Aunt Yin's hand with wide eyes.
"A treasure that can truly change your appearance," Aunt Yin said with a smile.

Cining Palace, Bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, you summoned Yao Ye to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Why haven't you released her yet?" The Empress Dowager looked at Mo Rongzhan with a heavy expression. She was only concerned about the already captured Ye Yaoyao.
"Imperial Mother, that Yao Ye's true identity is that of a rebel. She wanted to assassinate us in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and has already been locked up by us." Mo Rongzhan said lightly. Ye Yaoyao was still a threat to the Empress Dowager, so he did not kill her. However, she had turned the Empress Dowager into this. Just locking her up was not enough to quell his anger. She had her deserved punishment.
When the Empress Dowager heard Mo Rongzhan's words, she was furious. "How could she be a rebel? She is …"
Mo Rongzhan only understood what the Empress Dowager wanted to say. He deliberately asked, "Who is she? How can Imperial Mother be sure that she is not a rebel? "
"Rebel? How could there be a rebel in the Jin Nation? Weren't those people killed by you? Emperor, aijia has already said that if anything happens to Yao Ye, aijia won't be able to live anymore! "The Empress Dowager cried out.
"So in Imperial Mother's heart, the life of a son is not as important as a palace maid. She wanted to assassinate us, but Imperial Mother did not even ask if we were injured. You only thought about that palace maid. We really want to know what ability that Yao Ye has to make Imperial Mother place such importance on her, to the point that even our two sons are inferior to her!" Mo Rongzhan's voice was low and deep, his tone terrifyingly cold.
The Empress Dowager was speechless. She looked at Mo Rongzhan in a daze. "Emperor, do you know her identity?"
"Imperial Mother, should we know what her identity is?" Mo Rongzhan asked in response.
"Emperor, how could a weak girl like Yao Ye assassinate you in the Palace of Heavenly Purity? You made up this reason because you wanted to silence her." The Empress Dowager said, no longer mentioning Yao Ye's identity. Otherwise, if Yao Ye was Ye Yaoyao's identity, it would cause the mother and son to be at odds.
Mo Rongzhan gave a faint smile. "If she was not a threat, why would we want to silence her?"
"Emperor, it is rare for aijia to have such a caring palace maid. Do you really have to kill her?" The Empress Dowager asked.
"Even if this person is a threat to us, does Imperial Mother still want to keep her by your side?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
The Empress Dowager froze for a moment. "Are you worried that she is a threat to you or someone else?"
"We feel that her existence is not good for anyone." Mo Rongzhan said calmly.
"If that's the case, then you must kill her no matter what." The Empress Dowager gave a cold smile. "Then why do you need to ask aijia? Aijia's life and death have no meaning to you."
Mo Rongzhan stood up. "We are doing this for Imperial Mother."
"Leave, aijia does not want to see you." The Empress Dowager said angrily. After speaking, she coughed heavily. "Get out! Get out! "
"Imperial Mother, then you should rest well."
