His eyes were filled with panic and fear. "No, it's impossible! How could you know? Even the Emperor didn't know."
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something, and her expression changed drastically!
She...she was so frightened by Jiang Luoluo that she blurted it out!
She frantically covered her ears one moment and her mouth the next.
She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, a chill running down her spine, making her tremble uncontrollably.
However, at that moment, an extremely cold voice came from afar, as if a cold blade was slowly piercing her heart.
"Who says I don't know?"
Xie Qiyu's voice was calm and unhurried, yet it carried a suffocating pressure.
Consort Lu stood frozen in place, tears mixed with cold sweat streaming down her face, the color draining from her skin instantly.
She crawled forward step by step on her knees, her clothes disheveled and her hair in disarray, until she finally reached Xie Qiyu's feet.
She gripped Xie Qiyu's clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with sorrow:

Consort Lu suddenly prostrated herself on the ground, her forehead hitting the ground heavily, and cried out in anguish: "Your Majesty! I really dare not deceive you, it was Du Yi."
"It was Du Yi who forced me! As a concubine in the harem, I was powerless to resist! I was forced into it!"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her makeup was already washed away and ruined. Her usual dignified and elegant demeanor was completely gone.
She screamed hysterically, glaring venomously at Jiang Luoluo: "Your Majesty, it's her! It's Jiang Luoluo!"
This despicable woman is sowing discord, driving a wedge between us!
She's the culprit! Your Majesty, order her to be dragged out and executed!
Her shrill voice echoed through the Imperial Garden, and the servants nearby were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
Even the Emperor has spoken, so it's most likely true what happened with Consort Lu. Thank goodness, they didn't follow Consort Lu's orders just now.
