The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 23 Who's Behind The Scenes

In this vast Zhaolie Palace, there was a voice that was like a devil's scream, Emperor Zhaolie was irritated, then snapped coldly, “Diam. If it's a storm again, I'll hit you.” right away

The two maids instantly fell silent, their shoulders trembling, trying to hold back the fear in their hearts.

After they were silent, Kang Yong put his hand back, then walked to the side of Xiao Huan and Yan’er, and raised an eyebrow, “Jawab, who told you to spread gossip?”

The interrogation from Kang Yong made Yan’er frightened. His expression was completely shocked, he almost fainted.

“I... I. do deserve to die, please forgive Your Majesty, all this because of my itchy mouth,” said Huan’er while holding his trembling lips.

Kang Yong glanced at the two frightened people, it turned out that they were looking towards Qin Ruojiu. Right now, Qin Ruojiu's lost gaze was also staring at Xiao Huan and Yan’er with no heart. Because his face was covered in a veil, others could not know his heart.

“If you say who is the person behind all this, I will consider forgiving you,” said Kang Yong, then Qin Ruojiu's gaze glanced at him. Yes, he had to find out who was behind all this, he wanted to unmask this hypocritical woman.

Xiao Huan and Yan’er who were frightened, replied stammeringly and sobbing, “Jawab Your Majesty.. ka... we... were not ordered... by si....”.

“Is this woman the one who told you to gossip? Forcing you? Answer, I will uphold justice for you!” Kang Yong did not want to go around in circles, he directly aimed his target towards Qin Ruojiu.

Qin Ruojiu's heart turned cold, her face turned unpleasant, but she still forced herself to try to calm down. Yes, it was not him who did this, so he had nothing to fear. For once again, he clenched his hands, closed his lips, even held his breath.

In a moment, the atmosphere became tense, Xiao Huan and Yan’er raised their heads to stare at his master. Right now, they could not see his expression, but from his tattered clothes, they could tell that this had just promised him would also be tortured.

The two maidservants shook their heads and replied sobbing, “Buk... not the Empress, we ourselves.

The mood became quiet. Kang Yong and Qin Ruojiu were shocked. Kang Yong could not believe that Qin Ruojiu had not intervened in all this. How could they possibly know that Kang Yong tortured Qin Roujiu to the point of being injured that day? If it wasn't Qin Ruojiu himself who told the story, who would know this matter? Only, Kang Yong still did not understand why these two maids still did not want to reveal the reality! Has Qin Ruojiu given anything to them? Or, Qin Ruojiu was holding onto their weak point?

What surprised Qin Ruojiu was that these two maids did not slander her, despite facing death. At that moment, he felt himself on the brink, if these two people pushed him, he would plunge into the abyss.

Kang Yong regained his senses, then said with a cold gaze, “Hem, how do you know I acted rudely towards the Empress? Even you guys tell everyone that I tortured him.”
