The Empress Dowager frowned. "What is the meaning of this?"
Lu Wanwan presented the testimony. "The Court of Judicial Review has just clarified the matter. On the day my horse was spooked, Xie Rou had bribed someone to abduct me and force Zeng Shuhui to reveal the truth. Later, when I was insulted by the outraged mob, if not for the timely rescue by the men from the Eastern Depot, I fear I would have been disfigured or worse. This is the second count against Xie Rou."
The Empress Dowager, overcome with rage, looked at Xie Rou with eyes as cold as ice.
