As soon as the head nanny said this, all the palace maids trembled.
Especially the three concubines, they didn't expect that the imperial concubine would value Zuo Xuanxiang so much. They were instigated by Chen Lulu these days and they made a lot of trouble for Zuo Xuanxiang!
I just hope Zuo Xuanxiang won't complain about them in front of the Imperial Concubine! Otherwise, even if they have ten lives, they won't be enough to die.
"You won't tell me?" Shi Wei raised her lips with a cold smile, pointing at the three concubines and saying, "Then let's start with them!"
The old nanny shouted, "Someone, come! Put on the splint!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen eunuchs came in with bloodstained splints.
"Pinch until you're willing to talk!"
"yes!"
The eunuchs swiftly clamped the hand of the concubine.
The palace maid kneeling behind had never seen such a scene before. She trembled even more violently and her face turned pale.
The three concubines were so frightened that they retreated desperately.
"My Queen, please spare me! My Queen, please spare me!"
"I did not steal Zuo Xiunu's bracelet."
"That's right! I just believed what Chen Xiu Nu said and had a little conflict with Zuo Xiu Nu."
"Yes! It was Chen Xiu Nu who said that as long as Zuo Xiu Nu was gone, I would be the highest-ranking lady among the concubines."
"Impossible!" Zuo Xuanxiang shook her head: "How could Lulu let you hurt me! You must have wronged her!"
Zuo Xuanxiang would never believe what they said. After all, since she came to the deep palace, apart from the imperial concubine, Chen Lulu was the best to her.
"This is all true! Chen Xiu Nu also gave me a bottle of medicine and asked me and the others to secretly put it into your bowl."
One of the concubines took out a medicine bottle and handed it to the head nanny to show her loyalty, saying, "These were all given by Chen Xiu Nu, but I was afraid that it was poison and that taking it would cost me my life, so I never took it. Instead, I distanced myself from Zuo Xiu Nu and only bothered her occasionally."
Shi Wei gave a wink, and someone immediately called the imperial physician to check the medicine.
"This is January Red. After eating it for a month, you will die quietly."
When the three ladies heard that it was a deadly poison, they were so frightened that they could not stand and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Zuo Xuanxiang shook her head in disbelief: "How is that possible?"
"Murdering a concubine is a capital crime!"
"Do you have anything else to confess? There's a reward for reporting, and there's a punishment for hiding it!"
As soon as Shi Wei finished speaking, two palace maids immediately knelt and crawled towards her.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have evidence to sue you! On the fifteenth day, Chen Xiu Nu gave me ten taels of silver and asked me to open Xiu Nu Zuo's bedroom for a while."
"Yes! Chen Xiunv also gave me ten taels of silver and asked me to help her keep an eye on the people!"
"What?" Zuo Xuanxiang looked distressed. "How could she harm me like this?"
At this time, the teaching nanny also came out and said, "Yes, on the fifteenth day, Chen Xiu Nu asked for leave for the whole morning, saying that she had a stomachache, so I let her go."
Hearing this, Zuo Xuanxiang also remembered that she was the one who personally helped Chen Lulu back that day...
Shi Wei smiled and asked, "Where is Chen Xiunv?"
As soon as the voice fell, the hall fell silent instantly.
They didn't know! They had been told from above that they didn't dare to interfere in Chen Xiunv's affairs.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go find it myself."
Shi Wei stood up and asked Zuo Xuanxiang, "Would you like to accompany me to look for it?"
"I am willing." Zuo Xuanxiang's face turned cold. She also had something to ask Chen Lulu.
Ask her why she hurt her like this!
