Chapter 264 Is she admitting defeat? The execution of Shen Wan'er.

"It was Song Qingning, it was her who framed me!"

Shen Wan'er pointed at Song Qingning and shouted again with certainty and determination.

Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had found a lifeline that could save her life, as if she could be saved as long as she stepped on Song Qingning.

When everyone followed her gaze and saw Song Qingning, the slight upturn at the corner of Song Qingning's mouth was gone, replaced by confusion and innocence.

"Miss Shen, how could you frame me? I have no grudge against you, why would I frame you?" Song Qingning frowned slowly, looking quite aggrieved.

If Shen Wan'er had just insisted on accusing Song Qingning, it was a reaction born of panic and confusion.

But at this moment, Song Qingning's sudden change in expression made Shen Wan'er fully realize what was happening.

Just as she guessed!

Song Qingning not only changed the puppet, but also had a backup plan.

She wanted to get revenge on her and get her convicted!

Song Qingning is truly vicious!

Shen Wan'er clenched her fists, instinctively retorting to Song Qingning, "You're talking nonsense, we have a grudge..."

"What grudge?" Song Qingning's lips curled up slightly, as if she wanted to lure Shen Wan'er into her trap.

At this moment, Shen Wan'er's blood rushed to her head, and she lost most of her rationality. Without thinking, she blurted out, "It's because..."

She was about to say that Song Qingning was doing this to get revenge on her when she was interrupted by a voice.

"Shen Wan'er!"

Following the sound, Shen Wan'er saw the warning in Xie Yuzhen's angry eyes, and her defeated rationality gradually returned.

I can't tell!

If she confesses, it means she admits that she used witchcraft to frame Song Qingning!

This is adding insult to injury!

Shen Wan'er felt a lingering fear, but was thankful that Yu Zhen had stopped her.

Fortunately, she still has Yuzhen!

Shen Wan'er took a deep breath, a glimmer of hope igniting in her heart.

She did all of this at Yu Zhen's behest, and Yu Zhen wouldn't just stand by and watch her get punished for it.

"Yu Zhen..." Shen Wan'er looked at Yu Zhen with pleading eyes, hoping he could find a solution for her.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuzhen, with a gloomy face, stepped forward without warning and slapped her hard across the face.

A loud crack echoed throughout the hall.

Shen Wan'er was stunned by the blow, her mind buzzing. It took her a long while to regain her senses. "Yu Zhen, you..."

What frightened her more than the slap from Yu Zhen was the look in Xie Yu Zhen's eyes.

That look in his eyes was nine parts anger, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible cold-bloodedness.

A chill suddenly ran through Shen Wan'er's heart.

Immediately afterwards, a barrage of questions came rushing in:

"Shen Wan'er, my mother has treated you well, how dare you curse her like this?!"

Shen Wan'er: "..."

What does Yu Zhen mean?

She didn't intend to curse her aunt; this was part of their plan...

"Yu Zhen..."

She tried to explain, but Xie Yuzhen wouldn't give her the chance.

"Shen Wan'er, I am deeply disappointed in you! You know all too well what my mother means to me, yet you dare to curse her with this vicious curse. How can you face her?"

Xie Yuzhen's gaze was sharp.

Shen Wan'er was in a daze for a moment, then seemed to understand.

Does Yu Zhen mean that she should take the blame alone?

but……

"Miss Shen, you just said that you cursed the Imperial Concubine and Empress Qiande. You deserve to die!" Song Qingning's voice slowly came over.

He deserves to die!

If you accept it, you'll lose your life.

She doesn't want to die! That's why she can't admit it!

"It wasn't me!" Shen Wan'er's eyes flickered as she looked at Xie Yuzhen, as if she were bargaining with her.

But in her gaze, Xie Yuzhen's eyes grew increasingly sharp, a sharpness that lasted only a moment before being well concealed by anger.

It's as if to say: You have no way out but to admit it.

Shen Wan'er's heart skipped a beat.

She hesitated for only a moment before Xie Yuzhen said resolutely, "Whether it was you or not, or whether it is true, as you say, that the Princess Consort of Huai framed you, we will find out by investigating."

Xie Yuzhen looked at Song Qingning.

The two exchanged a glance, and many things were understood without being spoken.

Although Xie Yuzhen was unwilling, she still had to accept the current situation.

Song Qingning saw through Shen Wan'er's plan.

She didn't know how Song Qingning had switched the dolls, but she was certain that Shen Wan'er was stupid and acted inappropriately, which allowed Song Qingning to take advantage of the situation.

Song Qingning probably knew that she was the one directing things behind the scenes.

Fortunately, she only gave orders from behind the scenes and did not interfere.

Song Qingning has no evidence!

As Xie Yuzhen finished speaking, a crisp sound of a candlestick falling to the ground came from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, a guard rushed in and reported to Emperor Yuan, "There is a maid outside who looks strange."

The unusual appearance suggests a guilty conscience, which may be related to this matter.

Emperor Yuan frowned, pondered for a long time, and then ordered someone to bring the old woman up.

The old woman was so frightened that she trembled like a leaf. As soon as she came up, she knelt on the ground and confessed everything.

"It was Miss Shen. Miss Shen gave me money and ordered me to prepare a doll and the birth date and time of the Imperial Concubine. But I didn't place the doll there; she placed it herself."

"The old slave is guilty."

After the old woman finished speaking, she suddenly became fierce, rammed her head against a pillar, and died on the spot.

They didn't implicate anyone, only saying that Shen Wan'er was the one who ordered it.

For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Wan'er.

The sudden appearance of the witness startled Shen Wan'er, but she quickly came to her senses and realized what had happened.

That old woman was Xie Yuzhen's helper.

Xie Yuzhen had made two preparations in advance, leaving herself a way out, but she pushed herself into a dead end!

Xie Yuzhen...

Why did she treat her like that?!

Shen Wan'er looked at Xie Yuzhen, as if seeking an answer.

But Xie Yuzhen didn't even glance at her.

Xie Yuzhen met Song Qingning's gaze directly, their eyes seeming to say: How about it? I've abandoned Shen Wan'er, and this matter is over!

She's admitting defeat!

But how could Song Qingning agree?

Even if she admits defeat, it won't work!

Xie Yuzhen abandoning Shen Wan'er to save herself was within Song Qingning's expectations.

This was also within Consort Hui's expectations.

Song Qingning calmly withdrew her gaze. Since she had so resolutely abandoned Shen Wan'er, then let Shen Wan'er "get what she wanted" first!

Song Qingning's reaction made Xie Yuzhen frown.

She reluctantly took a step back. What did Song Qingning mean by this?

What else does she want?

In an instant, Xie Yuzhen's anger surged.

Just then, Consort Hui spoke up: "There are witnesses and physical evidence; the evidence is conclusive. Your Majesty, please do justice for Miss!"

Emperor Yuan's face was gloomy.

He's not stupid.

Yu Zhen's reaction and Consort Hui's reaction seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, they revealed something strange.

He quickly realized the strangeness of the situation.

Yu Zhen was also involved in this matter.

And Consort Hui...

On the surface, she was a loyal servant who protected her master.

But wasn't she involved in this too?

She's on Song Qingning's side!

Emperor Yuan narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint in them. After a long silence, the emperor spoke, "Then tell me, what crime should she be charged with?!"

"Miss is a Noble Consort, and soon to be posthumously honored as Empress Qiande. To curse her is a crime deserving of death! She should be executed!"

He is to be executed!

Shen Wan'er felt her mind go blank for a moment.

She quickly came to her senses; Xie Yuzhen didn't care whether she lived or died.

She still has a father!

"Father..." Shen Wan'er looked at Shen Lin.

But Shen Lin's face darkened, and he angrily pointed at her, "Wan'er, are you confused?!"

Shen Wan'er was struck dumb.

What does "father" mean?

"What's gotten into you? How dare you curse your aunt!" Shen Lin said, exasperated.

With just a few words, Shen Wan'er knew that her father had also abandoned her!

She then looked at her cousin, Xie Yuqi.

Xie Yuqi's face was equally cold. "Wan'er, you shouldn't have cursed my mother!"

Each sound, sharper than swords, pierced towards Shen Wan'er.

Shen Wan'er suddenly laughed, a maniacal laugh, as if possessed.

After a long pause, Shen Wan'er spoke, "Good, good, good group of Shen family members, just like my aunt back then..."
