"That Maid!" Emperor asked as he pointed his fingers at the guard Maid, "Yes, Your Majesty," She came forward trembling in fear and lowered her body, replying in a nearly inaudible tone.
"Speak whatever happened....and be honest," the emperor commanded furrowing his brows.
The maid glanced at Attendant Mo and then at the Empress, both of them appeared to be nodding to urge her. She took a deep breath and started explaining the whole situation. As she completed, she could feel the piercing gaze of the imperial noble consort but chose go ignore her.
She could have never gathered the courage to speak everything honestly, but then a fact gave her the strength and that was the rumor that whenever Prince Ming gets involved in any case, he never let anyone be wronged.
"Look what have you done! I had never seen you this hysterical before, what happened?" Emperor scolded her.
"That wench accused my brother and got him arrested for no reason," She cried.
