After all, she is someone my sister can trust, and she is the person my sister puts beside me to take care of me. How could she make such a mistake!
I looked at Wan Ning on the ground worriedly, but then I pretended not to care.
No, no, I told myself in my heart not to show my emotions or let others know about my return to the light.
"Empress, there must be some misunderstanding here. I believe Wan Ning will not steal anything."
I was a little anxious and wanted to help Wan Ning clear her name, so I knelt on the ground and said.
"Concubine Xi, do you mean that I have wronged this slave and deliberately framed Concubine Xi?"
The queen looked at me, grabbed the tail of my words, and bit her tongue.
I kept silent and didn't speak because I knew I had done something very stupid.
Not only can I not save Wan Ning, but I will probably end up trying to save myself.
I looked at Dongfang Luo, asking for help. I knew he would save me.
Just when he was about to speak, I heard Wan Ning speak.
"Going back to the Queen, it is true that this slave did not steal this thing. I went to the Queen's palace, but it was a maid sister in the palace who asked me to go there. She said that the Queen had something to give to my wife.
"
With that said, Wan Ning took out a pair of earrings from her arms.
The earrings on the earrings were made of red, like rubies covered in snow, lying quietly in Wan Ning's hand, and were picked up by Wan Ning and swayed in the air like a pendulum.
"This is what the maid sister gave to the slave, saying that it was the one from Dongyu Kingdom that entered the palace, and the queen would give it to the concubine Xi."
What Wan Ning said didn't sound like a lie to me. Moreover, the ruby was very finely made and was of the highest quality no matter how you looked at it. It was definitely not something Wan Ning had come to for excuses.
And I also noticed that the queen's face was not very good.
Then, I heard the queen say: "You girl, you are still arguing that the earrings were indeed given to Concubine Xi by me, but this necklace was also next to the earrings at that time. Now that the earrings are with you, so is the necklace."
Here, do you dare to say that you just took the earrings I asked you to give to Concubine Xi, and did not steal my necklace?"
The Queen's words made me dizzy, as if I was listening to a tongue twister.
However, Wanning was obviously not confused, and her eyes were very clear.
She said: "I only took it from my ear and didn't steal the necklace. I hope your Majesty will notice it clearly."
