"Because..." Concubine Rou hesitated to speak, raised her head and glanced at the queen, her eyes full of fear.
"I'm here, you don't need to hide."
"Because Ning Shuyi discovered your secret of falsifying accounts, you want to kill her to silence her."
"Hahaha... this joke is not funny at all, Sister Roufei, you must be responsible for what you say. I will be angry if you talk nonsense." Concubine Yi said slowly.
