As the Empress finished speaking, a fierce killing intent suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Consort Han cannot be allowed to live."
Consort Lan looked in the direction the Empress had left with a slight sense of disappointment.
If the Empress makes a big fuss this time, it will definitely be more than just being confined to her quarters. Moreover, the Empress has now directly convicted herself, so they can't pursue the matter any further.
She looked at Sang Ruo and Sang Jiang and said, "Sister, I will take them to the Emperor for his own disposal now. You and the Fourth Miss will no longer be confined to your quarters."
Sang Ruo nodded, without saying anything.
Consort Lan curtsied to her and then waved her hand, leading the maid and Consort Han toward Chengshun Palace.
After everyone had left, Sang Jiang yawned and prepared to go back to sleep.
She was woken up very early this morning because of this, and now she's finally gone.
Sang Ruo clearly had no intention of letting her off the hook. She looked at Sang Jiang and asked, "Do you think it was Consort Han who poisoned her?"
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Doesn't it matter whether it does or not?"
Sang Ruo was taken aback, then nodded. Yes, whoever did this must be related to the Empress.
And barring any unforeseen circumstances, Han will likely convict all of them.
Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, Sang Jiang yawned and went back to sleep.
Chengshun Hall.
Long Jingchen coldly looked at the two people kneeling below him.
Upon seeing him, Consort Han immediately knelt on the ground and cried out, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter was truly not done by your concubine. Your concubine only wanted to teach Sang Ruo a lesson. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
The young palace maid now only knew that she was doomed to die, and her last wish had been fulfilled, so she calmed down considerably.
She just knelt down beside him and kept crying.
Long Jingchen frowned in annoyance: "Take him to the Ministry of Justice and let them investigate."
"Your Majesty, I obey." Consort Lan curtsied gracefully.
Upon hearing this, Consort Han collapsed to the ground. The Ministry of Justice was under the Empress Dowager's control, and as the Empress's person, she feared that this trip would be a one-way journey.
"Your Majesty, I truly did not poison the Empress Dowager!" Her cries grew louder as the nanny dragged her away.
Long Jingchen didn't even want to look at her again.
She entered the palace by scheming against him, and he was forced to agree to her request. He never expected that this woman would still be unrepentant and cause trouble everywhere by relying on the Empress's power.
After everyone had left, Long Jingchen looked up at Yang Qi and asked, "How is Consort Sang...?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Consort Sang is fine and has already been released from confinement."
Yang Qi, who is usually very gossipy, was suddenly quiet today.
Long Jingchen turned around and saw him looking at him with a maternal smile, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Yang Qi, have you been very free lately?"
Yang Qi was taken aback. He quickly thought about whether he had done anything to offend this man recently, but he couldn't think of anything.
Long Jingchen pretended to glance at the memorial a few more times, but he was as if he had a nail under his butt, twisting and turning and unable to concentrate.
Yang Qi thought he wanted to see Sang Ruo but didn't know how to bring it up, so he spoke softly: "Your Majesty, the kapok flowers next to Jinghe Palace are blooming exceptionally beautifully these past few days. Would Your Majesty like to go and take a look?"
Upon hearing the name Jinghe Palace, Long Jingchen stood up abruptly, then coughed lightly as if remembering something: "I didn't intend to see any kapok flowers, but since you want to see them, I'll take you to see them."
Without waiting for Yang Qi to speak, he took the lead and walked outside.
Changchun Palace.
Consort Qi looked at Yaqi excitedly and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Yaqi nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, now we can rest easy."
"Yes." Consort Qi smiled smugly. "That Consort Han is stupid too. By the way, where's Xiaoxiao?"
Upon hearing this, Yaqi lowered her head evasively: "Xiaoxiao, she..."
