The Empress frowned, "Why don't you take out the Osmanthus cake I gave to the Crown Prince?"
After hearing the Empress's words, Mo Ling sneered. Molly, who was standing behind the Empress, knelt down on the ground.
Jasmine knelt down so suddenly that everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Jasmine with a thud.
The Empress looked at Molly, who was as pale as a sheet. Her right eyelid twitched violently again, and she had a bad feeling.
Before the Empress could speak, Mo Ling said sarcastically, "This is the Osmanthus cake you gave me. Don't you recognize it?"
The Empress's pupils suddenly contracted, and her blood rushed to her head. She staggered and looked at Molly.
After seeing the guilty look on Jasmine's face, how could the Empress still not understand?
In the past, her attitude towards Jiujiu was indifferent. She treated this thing too well, and her palace servants followed suit. At that time, Wan Cui treated Jiujiu like a little pet.
The Empress saw this. On one hand, she felt that it was not good for her maid to treat her child like this. On the other hand, she felt that her maid could detect how weak and easy to bully Li Wan was.
The more Li Wan could endure, the more feasible her future plan would be.
But who would have thought that Mo Ling not only accepted Jiujiu, but also punished Wan Cui. Now, she even used a plate of Osmanthus cake to get Molly out.
The Empress opened her mouth and wanted to refute that it was not like this. But now, the Osmanthus cake was on the table.
The Osmanthus cake that the Empress gave to the Crown Prince was actually such a stale product. Under everyone's gaze, if the Empress did not give an explanation, and if Mo Ling got angry and reported this matter to the Emperor, she would definitely not be able to bear the consequences.
After figuring out the key of the matter, the Empress took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were clear.
The Empress raised her hand and hit Molly's face. She said angrily, "Bastard, where is the Osmanthus cake I asked you to give to the Crown Prince?"
The Empress wanted to use the maid who delivered the osmanthus cake as Jasmine's scapegoat.
Jasmine had served the Empress for such a long time that she knew what the Empress wanted to do when the Empress frowned. Now that the Empress had found a way out for her, Jasmine immediately seized the opportunity and cried out: "This servant doesn't know. This servant packed the osmanthus cake that niangniang made and gave it to He Ye. It must be that greedy girl, He Ye, who took it."
After hearing Molly's words, Mo Ling, who originally thought that Jiujiu would take in Lotus Leaf, had a dark expression on her face.
Originally, he had thought that it was inappropriate for Jiujiu to act on her own to keep the lotus leaves, but after seeing the Empress and Jasmine's actions, he instantly understood why Jiujiu had done so.
If Jiujiu had not done so, He Ye would have become Jasmine's scapegoat. In order to appease her anger, the Empress would definitely kill He Ye.
After the Empress finished speaking, she instinctively looked at Jiujiu and said with a hidden threat in her eyes: "Son, Jasmine has sent you so many things. Don't you know her character?"
She was forcing Jiujiu to say that it was He Ye who did it.
Jiujiu had known the Empress' character for a long time. Jiujiu was not surprised that she would kill someone else to protect Jasmine. However, what made Jiujiu very unhappy was that the Empress used her as a raft and made her the executioner who raised the butcher's knife.
Jiujiu looked at the Empress.
The Empress looked at Jiujiu. Jiujiu's eyes were clear like spring water, but the Empress' eyes were turbid and contained countless desires.
Sensing the Empress' coercion towards Jiujiu, Mo Ling stretched out his long arms and pulled Jiujiu into his arms. He said softly: "Wan 'er, just say whatever you think of. Don't be afraid."
This meant that he was standing up for Jiujiu.
Jiujiu pursed her lips and looked timidly at the Empress. Then she raised her head and looked at Mo Ling. Her clear eyes were instantly filled with tears. She looked as if she was frightened by Mo Ling and said softly: "Jasmine used to take things like this."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she immediately turned around and buried her head in Mo Ling's chest. She looked as if she was scared out of her wits.
The Empress was so angry at Jiujiu's words that she almost fainted. She lowered her head and glared fiercely at Jasmine. In her heart, she scolded her for being such an incompetent person.
The Empress was so angry that she almost broke her silver teeth. She said through gritted teeth: "Jasmine, what else do you have to say?"
Jasmine did not expect that Jiujiu, who used to be as timid as a little mouse, would say such words. At this moment, Jasmine was as panicked as a mouse that was thrown into hot water.
Jasmine wanted to refute, but Jiujiu's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jasmine's face turned pale, but she could not say a word. In the end, Jasmine could only cry and beg Mo Ling for mercy: "State Preceptor, please spare my life. I was blinded by lard and even dared to covet the Crown Prince's things. But I swear that this is the first time I have done such a thing. State Preceptor, please spare my life."
Jasmine was beautiful to begin with, and her tear-stained appearance was simply too moving.
But in response to Jasmine's begging, Mo Ling only raised her eyes and glanced at her. Then she ordered people to throw Jasmine out.
Jasmine was the Empress's confidant. Ordering people to throw Jasmine out in front of the Empress was simply a slap to the Empress's face. But the Empress did not dare to say anything.
After throwing Jasmine out, Mo Ling did not even look at the Empress and left with Jiujiu in her arms.
As for how to deal with Molly, Mo Ling did not mention a single word. However, the Empress knew that even if Mo Ling did not say anything, she could not pretend that this matter did not happen. Furthermore, if she dealt with Molly too lightly, even if Mo Ling did not say anything, the Emperor would personally deal with Molly for Mo Ling.
Thinking of Wan Cui who was stabbed to death by the Emperor, the Empress knew that she could not let this matter go so easily.
She was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but she was afraid of a pig-like teammate. At this moment, Jasmine was the Empress's pig-like teammate. But because the Empress did not have many people she could use, she could not give up on Jasmine. She could only grit her teeth and endure.
The Empress ordered people to bring Jasmine back to Qiankun Palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, Jasmine immediately knelt on the ground. Even though her knees were injured and swollen, she still knelt down.
Jasmine kept kowtowing with her head. Even though her head was bleeding, she still kept kowtowing. She kept begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
Back when Wan Cui had died, Jasmine had even mocked Wan Cui for overestimating herself. But now that she was the one who had encountered such a situation, she could no longer laugh. Thinking of Wan Cui's ending, Jasmine felt a chill run down her spine.
