She looked in the direction of Aunt Zhang and saw that her face had turned bluish-purple, clearly she had been terrified.
He was probably thinking about how he framed his mother back then.
Gu Jiangli sneered inwardly.
She wasn't in a hurry; Aunt Zhang and her daughter would also experience that feeling of injustice.
The emperor's pupils trembled, and anger gradually appeared on his tense face.

"Shouldn't the Emperor know the real reason why Consort Gu miscarried?"
The emperor's fist clenched tightly within his sleeve. After a moment, as if in resignation, he gave the order to those outside:
