The palace maid kneeling on the ground trembled.
"Your Majesty, she...she has disappeared."
Consort Lian smashed a cup, causing a palace maid to bleed from the head.
"They haven't found her?!"
She stood up, walked over, and slapped the palace maid across the face.
"Didn't I instruct you before to make sure it was cleaned up properly?"
Cai Die covered her face, her skin pale, and cried, "Your Majesty, I was so close, but then someone..."
Consort Lian's expression changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Who saw it?"
Cai Die cried and said, "She was a palace maid from the laundry department."
Consort Lian gripped the silk handkerchief tightly with both hands and said coldly, "Find her and deal with her."
“But, but…” Cai Die said with a grim expression, “She is Su Xiunü.”
A hint of resentment flashed in Consort Lian's eyes as she said, "Then hurry up and go, and be quick about it."
“Yes…” Butterfly scrambled and rolled away.
When Su Ruxue was still a candidate for the imperial concubines, she lived in a courtyard of Yaoguang Palace.
That night, I happened to witness something.
There are many dirty things happening in the harem, and the occasional loss of a palace maid or eunuch is not a big deal.
If a servant doesn't want to work hard to climb the ranks, she'll only be bullied and wait to die in the harem.
Su Ruxue had only been in the laundry for less than half a month when she felt that she was living a life worse than death and was trying to contact the Regent.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a eunuch and palace maid working together to destroy the evidence.
She was unlucky to have stumbled upon this.
Even worse, the palace maid who was killed wasn't quite dead yet, and she even left behind a last message.
She was a former palace maid in the Phoenix Palace, and for reasons she was forced to help Consort Lian frame Consort Liu.
This part of the story can also be considered part of the main plot.
In the original storyline, Su Ruxue also stumbled upon this matter and then killed Consort Lian, who regarded her as a thorn in her side.
Su Ruxue was filled with unease.
In fact, she really didn't want to help the powerful Consort Gui, but the chances of Consort Lian being threatened by her to cooperate were very small.
Consort Lian was a woman who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually ruthless and vicious at heart.
Just as Su Ruxue had predicted.
the next day.
The auntie in the laundry room, who was perfectly fine, suddenly accused her of ruining a concubine's clothes and threatened to take her away for punishment.
The situation is tense now.
The regent's power in the palace has been eliminated, and no one can help her.
Only that woman...
The naive imperial concubine spared her life time and again.
Su Ruxue fled in a panic, running into the Imperial Garden where she bumped into the Emperor and Consort playing chess.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine..."
Fu Sang looked at Su Ruxue with some surprise.
Isn't the female lead working at the laundry?
Su Ruxue knelt on the ground and took out the evidence that Shuxiang had hidden.
"Your Majesty, Consort Lian wants to kill me. This is evidence that she framed and plotted against the Imperial Concubine. Shuxiang has already been killed by them."
Fu Sang never expected that it would be Su Ruxue who absolved her of her sins.
Why is the female lead suddenly so nice?
Puyang Tang narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "How can I believe what you say?"
In fact, it had already been discovered that the person who framed and bewitched Liu Qingcheng was Shuxiang from the Phoenix Palace.
The person behind the scenes could guess what was going on, but they hadn't yet found out where Shuxiang was, and then they had the evidence to legitimately banish Consort Lian to the Cold Palace.
Su Ruxue kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please believe me. Shuxiang has told me everything, and everything I said is true."
Fu Sang grasped Pu Yangtang's hand.
"Trust her."
Yaoguang Palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids all knelt on the ground to be punished.
"Your Majesty—" came the voice of a palace maid from outside.
Consort Lian's face turned extremely ugly, and she shouted angrily, "What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling like this!"
