Chapter 94

Mei Gongxue was thrown back into the place that had been the source of her endless nightmares. For two consecutive days, she received no news from the outside world. She used this time to clear her head and piece together everything that had happened. Currently, her imprisonment in the Ministry of Punishments was due to two main reasons. First, and undoubtedly, was the death of Yuwen Fu. She no longer had the luxury of worrying about the Thousand-Gold Pregnancy Preservation Formula; her priority was to clear her name. Although she was not well-versed in the penal codes of the imperial court, she knew that intentional homicide and accidental killing were crimes of vastly different magnitudes. Fortunately, Zhou Fu had forcibly held onto Yuwen Fu’s body; she could only hope that the coroner would be able to analyze the wounds and prove that it was indeed an accidental killing.
