Zheng Yutong nodded and then shook her head. Yue Jiang immediately realized that the last time the palace maid fell into the water, it was arranged by Empress Dowager Zheng. Zheng Yutong denied it again, so there must be something else to say.
Yue Jiang continued to turn the page and point downwards. Zheng Yutong didn't react for several pages. When the second "harm" appeared, she nodded again.
Yue Jiang's finger continued to move downwards along the character, and Zheng Yutong didn't react for a long time. The blood that had just stopped slowly overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
Yue Jiang wanted to ask Shang Yu to administer acupuncture to Zheng Yutong again to prolong her life, but Zheng Yutong bit her lip and shook her head, still wanting Yue Jiang to point out the words to her.
Yue Jiang didn't want to delay, so she calmly pointed downwards. Suddenly, she pointed to a word, and Zheng Yutong's pupils dilated abruptly. Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood, the light in her eyes disappeared, and the entire page of the book was stained crimson with her blood.
Zheng Yutong's body went limp and she collapsed onto the bed.
Yue Jiang's hands were dripping with bright red blood as her fingers hovered over a few lines in the middle of the book.
Zheng Yutong made a lot of noise, and even Jing Shuo outside heard it. He rushed in and saw Zheng Yutong lying on the bed covered in blood.
Shang Yu stepped forward to check Zheng Yutong's breathing, and finally whispered to everyone, "Miss Zheng is no longer breathing."
Fearing that Yue Jiang would be frightened, Jing Yan called her name repeatedly: "Jiang'er, Jiang'er, are you alright? Let me help you wash your hands."
Yue Jiang's eyelashes trembled subconsciously. She moved her petrified fingers, emphasizing the spot she had just pointed to.
"Shang Yu, Zheng Yutong was quite agitated when she saw this place. Find out the names of some of the medicines in this place."
"Oh," Shang Yu took the book. He was familiar with the medical books in his room, flipping through the titles and pages, and then began to write down the names of the medicines that Yue Jiang had asked him to look up.
Yue Jiang was pulled by Jing Yan to wash her hands in front of the copper basin. Her thoughts were surging, and she deeply felt that what Zheng Yutong was talking about must be a very important matter, but unfortunately it was just a little bit off.
Why did Zheng Yutong die at such an inopportune time?
Yue Jiang asked in a daze, "Your Highness, would Empress Dowager Zheng be willing to kill her own grandniece?"
Jing Yan paused as he splashed water on Yue Jiang's palm. He stared intently at the blood in the basin, diluted by the clean water, and said seriously.
"It depends on the situation."
As the two exchanged glances, Jing Yan's personal eunuch rushed in to report.
"Your Highness, people from Empress Dowager Zheng's palace asked His Majesty to ask Prince Jing for Miss Zheng. They learned that Prince Jing had brought Miss Zheng to your residence, so His Majesty has already sent someone over."
