Avina revealed a smug smile. She turned to look at all the ministers. "Do you believe in my innocence now?"

Who would dare say they didn't? Everyone started nodding their heads like pecking chickens.

Avina returned the hairpin to the treasury. Once she was done, she immediately asked the guards to lock up Minister Hua.

"If he has the guts to frame me, he has the guts to face the punishments," Avina said as she stared at Minister Hua coldly. The moment Bai Zhenli returned, she would let him decide Minister Hua's fate.

Avina looked at the ministers. She raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything else for us to discuss today?"

Immediately, everyone shook their heads. They understood the Empress's temperament. If she wasn't forced to come, she wouldn't have come. It didn't look like she had a good temper for those who angered her either.

So, they must avoid provoking her ire. They didn't have enough lives to live through her rage.
