Chapter 1168 (No Need for Evidence)


    Ye Hua''s expression darkened. He had never told Yi Yi about being a spy. Before, he had been puzzled about how Yi Yi knew. Could it really have been Gong Yue who told her?


    Gong Yue sighed softly, "Yi Yi, when did I ever tell you such a thing? Please don''t make baseless usations."


    Meng Yao knew Gong Yue would deny it. She continued, "You told me to show up yesterday, to exin that I wasn''t a spy. You said it would be more effective if I exined in front of everyone."


    "But you know, once I exin, it will surely anger the Emperor. You wouldn''t even need to act. You could let the Emperor kill me! Or even manipte me into suicide. That poison you gave me was also from you!"


    As Meng Yao spoke, everyone was shocked.


    They never expected Gong Yue to be involved in this!


    Yi Yi proved to be a victim.


    Ye Hua became serious. If Gong Yue orchestrated everything, it would challenge his bottom line. To think she calcted against him, causing him to lose face!Upon hearing Yi Yi''s words, Ye Juetian immediately believed her and turned to Gong Yue, questioning coldly, "Gong Yue! Is this true?"


    Gong Yue immediately put on a look of distress. "Juetian, don''t you believe me? I''ve always been helping you. How could I frame Yi Yi like that?"


    Watching Gong Yue continue to act, Meng Yao chuckled, "Gong Yue, your greatest talent is manipting others'' kindness. Let me ask everyone, if no one helped, could I have easily entered the pce maid group? On such asions, even the clothes were prepared by Gong Yue!"


    "Yi Yi, I never thought you would wrong me like this. Have you misunderstood something? Juetian and I are innocent. Please don''t be jealous. I beg you," Gong Yue pleaded pitifully, tears streaming down, clinging tightly to Ye Juetian''s leg, as if hoping he would speak up for her.


    But Ye Juetian believed Yi Yi and remained silent, which saddened Gong Yue deeply.


    ''I''ve done so many bad things, all for you!''


    ''Do you think I wanted to do those bad things? I, Gong Yue, have never done anything so disgraceful before. Why won''t you say a word for me? Have I not sacrificed more than her?''


    ''No! I''ve sacrificed even more!''


    ''From a kind woman to a malicious one!''


    ''Yi Yi, you forced me into this! It''s your fault! You came between Ye Juetian and me!''


    ''If you hadn''t appeared, how could Ye Juetian have fallen for you?''


    For jealousy, for revenge... That seems like a pretty valid reason.


    Ye Hua remained silent, listening quietly.


    Meng Yao felt she had never seen such a shameless woman, twisting ck into white!


    "Gong Yue, when I was in the prison, you slept with him and deliberately showed me with the bronze mirror. Afterward, you came tofort me. Gong Yue... You''re truly cunning. Youpletely manipted Yi Yi, even thinking about how to repay you in her heart. Haha..." Meng Yaoughed at herself as she spoke.


    Listening to Meng Yao''sughter, everyone felt a sense of helplessness, a sense of sorrow.


    Ye Juetian looked at Gong Yue, who was still holding onto his leg, as if asking if these things were true.


    "Juetian, I didn''t do such a thing. I really didn''t. I also don''t know why Yi Yi would make up such a thing. I truly don''t know," Gong Yue cried, portraying a deeply wronged woman.


    In tears, Gong Yue choked out towards Meng Yao, "Yi Yi, I''ve been so good to you. When you were at death''s door, I was the one who saved you. You can''t frame me like this."


    "That''s just your excuse not to kill me. You''ve been looking for an opportunity all along, and yesterday was the perfect chance! You made everyone know that the Emperor forced a pce maid to her death!" Meng Yao said sternly.


    Gong Yue''s heart sank, but she still said with sorrow, "You''re talking nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove it?"


    "Gong Yue, you finally said it. I have no evidence because you''re very cautious, erasing all traces!"


    Gong Yue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She called out to Ye Hua, "Big brother, I''ve been wronged. I''m innocent."


    Now everyone was a bit confused. Without evidence, it would be troublesome. Even if Gong Yue was Ye Juetian''s fiancée, could she be killed based on a few words from an outsider? That would be too hasty.


    Ye Hua asked sternly, "Meng Yao, do you have evidence?"


    "I don''t have evidence, but Empress Qian Yuqing does," Meng Yao said calmly.


    Qian Yyqing was stunned. When did she have evidence? Everyone''s eyes turned to Qian Yuqing.


    Even Gong Yue looked at Qian Yuqing incredulously, wondering how her sister-inw had any evidence?


    Impossible! She hadn''t left any traces!


    Meng Yao said softly, "Empress, please lend me the Soul Gem from yesterday."


    With Meng Yao''s words, everyone suddenly realised. Meng Yao indeed had no evidence, but the Soul Gem was meant for such asions!


    Upon hearing about the Soul Gem, Gong Yue''s expression turned as if struck by lightning,pletely dumbfounded.


    Yesterday, Gong Yue witnessed the power of the Soul Gem when Yi Yi used it to rify her identity.


    However, today, Yi Yi used the same method against her!


    ''That wretched maid! If I had known, I wouldn''t have saved her in the prison! Let her die in agony!''


    Qian Yuqing handed the Soul Gem to Meng Yao. Holding the Soul Gem, Meng Yao walked towards Gong Yue.


    The sense of injustice on Gong Yue''s facepletely disappeared, reced by fear.


    If the Emperor knew that she had manipted everything behind the scenes, she would definitely die!


    Ye Hua, looking at Gong Yue''s drastically changed expression, already knew the oue!


    He never expected Gong Yue to manipte everything behind the scenes, causing yesterday''s events to unfold and making his Empire of Wuxu aughingstock. They all said he was powerful, yet he forced a defenceless pce maid to her death.


    He had be a tool in Gong Yue''s hands!


    It was simply humiliating!


    Everyone looked at Gong Yue''s drastically changed expression, incredulous. Gong Yue''s image in everyone''s eyes had always been gentle and kind. They never expected her to want to use Ye Hua''s hand to kill Yi Yi!


    Ye Juetian looked at Gong Yue at his feet, especially her terrified expression, and already knew!


    This woman had killed Yi Yi. Why was she so cruel? What had Yi Yi done to offend her?


    ''You made Yi Yi hate me, prevented me from finding Yi Yi, fabricated reasons. It''s ridiculous to think about it now.''


    ''If I hadn''t paid attention to Gong Yue in the beginning, maybe the oue wouldn''t have been like this.''
