Looks like it would be hard for Ye Zhen Zhen to be cleared of the accusation.
But actually only for everyone here, except for herself and Ji Wu Jiu, who knew of something else: Although she has gun, but she does not have the bullets. Ever since she quietly completed the design for the multiple shot gun, Ji Wu Jiu although happy, but still ordered her to stop playing with such dangerous weapons. If she really wants to play, she can play with the gun but the gun powder and bullets, she don’t even have to be bothered about using them. He also purposely ordered a few people to make sure she does not obtain the bullets no matter what.
So actually she does not have the ability to be the culprit. But this evidence is too special, and only Ji Wu Jiu can testify. If Ji Wu Jiu is not willing to say, then everything else does not matter.
From Ji Wu Jiu’s reaction ever since she entered the room, most probably he will pretend to not know. Ye Zhen Zhen holding to a slight chance looked at him and ask, “Your majesty, do you have anything you want to say?”
“This sentence I also want to ask you, you don’t have anything else you want to say?”
Looks like he really wants to be an observer only. Ye Zhen Zhen scoffed and said “I currently do not have anything to say”
“that means you admit the crime?” the empress dowager was abit anxious.
“Something that I have not done, I would not admit forever. But because the criminal is well prepared, and want to frame me, and I cant find the loop hole in such short notice, and I ask for a few days, I will thoroughly investigate this case”
