"Witness?"
An elder stood up and said expressionlessly, "What witness?"
Wan Yinrou turned around and said, "Bring her in!"
Not long after, under everyone's gaze, two female soldiers escorted a young girl dressed in a palace maid's robe into the hall.
The moment Jiang Lei saw the young lady, she closed her eyes with a slight heartache.
That was her personal palace maid, Qiao 'er. She was usually in charge of grooming her and was almost inseparable.
As if sensing the change in Jiang Lei's expression, Wan Yinrou's face regained its smug expression, "Elders, you all know Qiao 'er, right?"
The elders nodded slightly. After all, they were the ones who had chosen Qiao 'er to enter the palace when she was young.
Wan Yinrou looked like she was watching a good show and said, "Qiao 'er, tell us everything you know."
Qiao 'er subconsciously raised her head to look at Jiang Lei. She bit her lips and said guiltily, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry …"
"What's there to be sorry about?!"
An elder shouted sternly, "B * tch, if you lie in front of all the elders today, I'll push you into the basin!"
The so-called basin was a form of torture used by Ehuang Kingdom to punish people who had committed the most heinous crimes. They would push people into a pit full of venomous snakes and be bitten to death or poisoned to death by countless venomous snakes.
Qiao 'er's face turned pale when she heard that. She immediately stammered, "I … I can testify that Her Majesty really … really hid a man in the palace."
Her words caused the expressions of the clan elders to change. They could not help but subconsciously glance at Jiang Lei.
"Elders, I used to be the one to protect Her Majesty. Even when Her Majesty was sleeping, I would stay in the palace …"
Qiao 'er's lips trembled as she said, "However, Her Majesty removed all the palace maids from the palace. Since then, she has never allowed us to go near the palace …"
"Bastard, what does that mean?"
Some elders were furious.
Wan Yinrou was expressionless, "Continue!"
Qiao 'er lowered her head and clasped her fingers tightly, "Later, when I was grooming Her Majesty, I … I found a lipstick on her neck …"
At this point, she gritted her teeth. "At that time, I thought that His Majesty was keeping a female pet in the palace, so I secretly sneaked into the palace. I didn't expect to hear … hear …"
"What did you hear? Hurry up and speak! "A clan elder shouted.
Qiao'er looked at her feet and shivered. "Then I heard... I heard Her Majesty talking to a man..."
As her voice fell!
The entire hall was deathly silent.
Everyone stared at Jiang Lei in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with shock.
Since ancient times, Ehuang Kingdom had never allowed men to enter. But now, the empress in their hearts had even raised a man in the palace?
Even the elders on Jiang Lei's side couldn't help but change their expressions. One of them took a deep breath and stared at Jiang Lei, "Your Majesty, is this true? “
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Lei clasped her hands tightly together on her thighs, but she still said without blushing or panting, "I didn't …"
She knew that once she admitted it, she would be completely finished. Not only would she lose all her prestige in the kingdom, but she would also be punished by the ancestral teachings.
That was not the main point. She knew that once she admitted it, she would implicate Ah Quan.
"It seems that this lowly servant is lying."
An elder was furious on the spot. He looked at Qiao'er and scolded, "Someone, drag this lowly servant out and push her into the basin!"
As soon as he said that, Qiao'er instantly revealed a horrified expression. She couldn't help but look at Wan Yinrou as if asking for help, "State Preceptor, save me, save me …"
"Wait!"
Wan Yinrou suddenly stopped her.
The many elders looked very unhappy. "Wan Yinrou, what else do you have to say?"
Meeting their gazes, Wan Yinrou was also a little flustered. She couldn't help but blurt out subconsciously, "Elders, if you want to prove whether Her Majesty has raised a man or not, you just need to look at her Chastity Mark."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lei, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, trembled as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out.
The so-called Chastity Mark was a medicine that would be painted on a girl's wrist the moment she was born. This medicine would not disappear throughout the year, but once a girl and a man intercourse, it would immediately disappear without a trace.
The elders looked at each other and nodded in unison. One of them looked up at Jiang Lei and said, "Your Majesty, forgive us for our rudeness. However, this matter involves too many people. In order to prove your innocence, we can only offend you …"
As he spoke, one of the elders walked towards Jiang Lei. Seeing this, the State Preceptor, Wan Yinrou, looked at Jiang Lei with a gloating gaze.
On the Dragon Throne, Jiang Lei's body was extremely weak. Her eyes were filled with despair. She could only watch as the elders walked towards her.
She knew!
From the next second, she would be finished!
At this moment, an extremely violent force suddenly appeared in the main hall. It then attacked the elder in an extremely domineering manner.
The elder's expression immediately changed. Then, he unleashed all of his cultivation and slammed his palm against the force.
Rumble …
The entire main hall immediately rumbled.
Puff!
The elder took a few steps back. After stabilizing himself, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Who is it?!"
At the same time, the other elders unleashed their auras as they looked around vigilantly.
They were all above the Third Revolution Martial Saint rank, yet they were unable to withstand a single attack from the other party. How could they not be nervous?
At that moment, a calm voice exploded, "Is the Ancestor's woman someone you old fellows can touch?"
The voice was like a clap of thunder. Soon after, it stirred up an extremely terrifying storm in the main hall, causing the entire hall to shake faintly.
At the next moment!
A young man in a black robe slowly walked in from outside the hall. Although the young man was handsome, there was a trace of unruly and unrestrained expression between his brows.
Coupled with the deliberate tug of his beard, it added quite a bit of mature charm to him. Most importantly, the young man's eyes revealed a hint of dignity that made it impossible for others to look him in the eye.
As he appeared, Jiang Lei, who was sitting on the throne, was shocked at first. Then, a hint of gentleness flashed through her beautiful eyes.
At that moment, the elders in the main hall were all shocked. With murderous intent on their faces, they said, "Who are you?"
"Elders, did you see that?"
Wan Yinrou pointed at the young man and laughed loudly, "A man. There really are men in our Ehuang Kingdom's palace. It turns out that I did not slander Jiang Lei!"
The elders' expressions became extremely gloomy when they heard this.
The young man acted as if he did not see anyone present. He walked straight towards Jiang Lei, who was sitting on the throne.
"Didn't I tell you not to come out?" Jiang Lei seemed to be rebuking him as she complained. However, she could not hide the smile at the corner of her lips.

(PS: My head hurts a little. I don't know if it's because of the first snow of the year last night. I can only write two chapters today. I'll try to write four chapters tomorrow!)
