Her voice echoed, sounding eerie and sinister, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew out all the candles in the hall.

It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything.

She quietly walked behind Consort Li and gently stroked her back.

Consort Li was terrified and struggled incessantly, shouting, "Get out of here! Get out of here! Who told you not to come from my womb? Get out of here!"

Her panicked words undoubtedly confirmed her guilt.

After he finished speaking, the eunuchs lit the candles, and the hall was illuminated once again.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Consort Li knew she was doomed!

She collapsed to the ground, her face ashen white.

"No wonder the emperor has fewer than half the number of children the late emperor had; it's all because of you, you poisonous woman!" Cheng Bi was so angry that her face turned red, and she smashed the teacup next to her over Consort Li's head.

The tea flowed down his forehead and neck, leaving a bright red mark that looked shocking.

This time, Consort Li did not cry out that she was wronged, but stared blankly ahead.

“This poisonous woman cannot be allowed to live. As for how to punish her, Your Majesty, you can decide for yourself.” Cheng Bi glanced coldly at the woman on the ground, then said, “It’s late, and I’m tired.”

After leaving those words, he departed with his maids and eunuchs.

After Cheng Bi left, Yinzhen said in a deep voice, "You may all go and rest. I will handle these people."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, then bowed and withdrew.

Inside the hall, only Yinzhen and those wicked people remained.

...

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Nian Yuyao was exhausted. After glancing at the sleeping Fu Pei, she fell asleep herself.

It wasn't until the next day that she learned of the punishments for those people. Apart from the guard who was expelled from the palace by Yinzhen, the fates of the other three were all tragic.

Cuizhu was beaten to death, Songyin was turned into a human pig, and although Consort Li survived, she suffered the most. Every day, she had to do a lot of dirty and tiring work, as well as being slapped fifty times and given slow-acting poison, causing her excruciating abdominal pain.

These were methods devised by the people after Yinzhen announced them to the people, and they used them to torment her.

"That was really great!" Nian Yuyao said with satisfaction.

However, Consort Li was too fragile and died after only five days.

However, there was one thing that made Nian Yuyao feel a little scared: Hongli, for the sake of his future, immediately severed his mother-son relationship with Consort Li and turned around to recognize the childless Consort Xi as his mother.

Even when Consort Li was dying, he refused to go see her.

Seeing such cold-heartedness and ingratitude, Nian Yuyao couldn't help but shake his head.

At this moment, she only hoped that the next mission would have nothing to do with this heartless and ungrateful person.

...

"Congratulations, Master, you have completed the mission once again!"

As the system's voice sounded, Mo Yuanyuan fell into a deep sleep once again.
