"How could that happen? All things related to the members of the royal family, whether it be food, clothing, or beauty products should go through the examination first!" beaver Empress.
Everyone was silent and did not dare to answer. Until finally, Yunza spoke up. "That powder, I just remembered that it looks like I have it too. Yesterday, a woman named Lan Mei gave it to me."
"Lan May?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a long thought, the empress lowered the command. "Guard, find a woman named Lan Mei and drag her in front of me!" said the empress while clenching her hands.
Yunza acted to be as calm as possible. She remembered her chat with Mi Anra last night.
"If Miss already knows, why not just foil their plans?" ask Mi Anra.
"It's not that easy, Mi Anra. Actually all this can be said to benefit me, as the saying 'shoot two birds with one stone'" replied Yunza as she combed her hair.
"Then, why did Miss ask the store owner to testify? The woman will get her punishment and Miss Shenshen will get karma for her treatment. Isn't that better?"
"Mi Anra, you just don't know how cruel the punishment is if you dare to harm a member of the royal family. The death penalty may be waiting. I think, since the beginning of Lan Mei there was no intention to harm me if not for the incitement of Shenshen," Yunza retorted.
"I hate death. There are a lot of unspoken words, there is an apology that has not been conveyed, and there are people who must be left behind. It was very painful," inner Yunza.
Mi Anra responded with a rough sigh. "I really don't understand why people are so evil when they have such a beautiful face" he said.
"Forgotten is only a visible mask, while the real beauty is inside."
His daydream ended when a noise came from the guards who forcibly picked up Lan Mei. Upon arrival, he was immediately pushed to prostrate before the empress.
"He's Lan Mei?" ask empress.
"Hamba didn't do it! This is slander, Your Majesty!" the Shangkal Lan Mei.
"Oh? So, you think the second prince's consort's confession was a lie?" ask empress.
"That's right, Mother. I think my sister-in-law did it. He said that he also had the same powder, so why is his face still fine" said Shenshen, looking at Yunza.
Everyone gets confused, they don't know what's right and who's wrong. The charges against Lan Mei did not have any solid evidence, whereas Shenshen continued to corner Yunza with the accusations.
"Mr Bei didn't come in time, that's why I told Mi Anra to pick her up. However, whether he will come or not," inner Yunza.
"Daughter-in-law, why are you quiet?" ask empress.
"The genie replied, Your Majesty. I have the same powder, but why I'm still fine is not because I made it. I didn't wear it because my servant accidentally dropped it before I put it on and the powder was destroyed" Yunza replied.
Shenshen was shocked. "W-what? She's not wearing it?" his inner.
Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door broke the tension. Mei An opened the door and there stood Mi Anra with Mr. Bei. How shocked Lan Mei was to see her uncle there.
His eyes glared perfectly, his mouth gaping with cold sweat pouring out as well as a body that began to tremble.
"Who?" ask the empress while squinting.
"Your Majesty, he is Mr. Bei, the owner of the Bei Fanrong drugstore located in the capital market. He was also Lan Mei's distant uncle ." Yunza replied.
Lan Mei grew even more frightened as her uncle walked closer. After arriving before the empress, she knelt down and said, "what the second prince's empress said is true. Your Majesty, please forgive my servant's nephew. He's just a khilaf."
Master Bei silently looked at Yunza and replied with a nod of his head.
"To make up for his deeds, I will make a potion to heal the princess's face, and will compensate for all the losses."
The Empress was silent for a moment. What happened really surprised him. I don't know what to say in front of the Emperor.
Apparently he remained on his decision to give Lan Mei the punishment. "Guard, take him to jail. For the punishment he will get, let the Emperor decide!"
Several guards held onto Lan Mei from both sides then lifted her up. Just then, Lan Mei threw a sharp glare towards Yunza. "He ruined my plan! I won't let him win!"
Lan Mei rebelled as she was about to be taken away. In the midst of his rebellion he put his hand in his clothes and took something.
A bottle of medicine was taken out. He opened it hastily then splashed it towards Yunza while shouting. "Dead you!"
Yunza was surprised to the point of not being able to dodge. Lucky then, someone came and blocked the liquid with his hand.
The instant the liquid touched the man's hand, the clothes affected by the liquid instantly melted, as did the skin of the hands that instantly blistered.
Yunza turned her head to look at the figure. How surprised he was to say nothing. "k-bk ... Han Xi ...."
Everyone was shocked again.
"Please! The guard! Drag that woman into jail right now!" shouted empress.
"Take me off! You stupid woman! You ruined my plan! Let go of me, let me teach him a lesson!" Lan Mei rebelled while continuing to scorn Yunza.
Yunza could not hold back anymore. He stepped quickly towards Lan Mei then slapped an extremely hard slap. The sound caused everyone who heard it to freeze.
But he thought it wasn't enough to teach him a lesson. Now he clenched his hands and with an annoyed look was ready to hit Lan Mei. However, Mei An approached and detained her.
"Calm down, sister-in-law," he said soothingly.
Yunza stopped. He stood up with a breath of breath, when he heard Han Xi's ringing voice he immediately approached her.
"Sister, are you okay? Does this hurt?" tanyakanya.
Han Xi, who did not want to make her two younger siblings worry, smiled and said, "sister is fine. It doesn't hurt" he said, enduring the pain.
Lan Mei was taken away by several guards. Shortly after, Mr. Bei resigned.
"It's embarrassing." The queen spoke up. When they turned their heads, he had already stood up and walked over to Han Xi.
"I hope that prince Shen Han Xi and Miss Shen Xiao Lu can forgive Hou country for today's shameful incident. As the person in charge of all this, I apologize profusely." He bowed his body before them.
"Please don't embarrass us by saying that, Empress Nan Ziyang. Today's incident, no one could have expected it. Please raise your head," Xiao Lu said.
Shame and guilt still haunt him. He lifted his head then said to Yunza, "son-in-law, bring the prince to your residence. The court physician will come to treat his wound."
Yunza nodded her head. Then along with Xiao Lu took Han Xi away to his residence.
"Shenshen, get some rest." After that, the empress and Mei An left Shenshen's room.
Shenshen sat alone in the room. What happened really upset him. "Why is he always one step ahead of me? Wh why? Is he a clairvoyant who knows the future?" muttered.
