Ruyi kowtowed deeply and said loudly, "This servant suspects that Concubine Ji was killed by Princess Yun!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Oh my god!
Ruyi is so bold! Is she really going to die?! How dare she say such things!
Concubine Ye was originally holding a cup of fragrant tea, but was startled by Ruyi's words... and some of the tea spilled out.
"Your Majesty—"
The maid beside Concubine Ye exclaimed and hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.
Concubine Ye handed over the teacup, took the handkerchief and gently wiped the white jade-like fingers. While wiping, she lowered her head in thought.
Although Princess Yun is spoiled and naughty, her position in the heart of Emperor Qinglong is unique. Among the women in the entire harem, who dares to offend her?
So Concubine Ye subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, before she could say anything, Ruyi pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and placed it across her snow-white, slender neck!
"Your Highness, please make the decision for our young master!"
She is clearly threatening my life!
Concubine Ye was about to explode with anger. This palace maid was too disrespectful!
Just when she was about to order people to drag Ruyi away, the voice of Concubine De rang in everyone's ears.
"Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Is there something you can't say that you have to threaten me with death?" Defei glanced at Concubine Ye, frowned slightly, and said to Ruyi, "Concubine Ye is the most fair and just, and sees everything clearly. If you have anything to say, just tell her. Don't be so ruthless as to threaten me with life or death."
Concubine Ye glared at Concubine De hatefully.
Concubine De gave Concubine Ye a faint smile.
Concubine Ye: “…”
Ruyi seized the opportunity and spoke faster, saying, "Princess Yun came and made a scene yesterday. When she left, our queen said she wasn't feeling well, wouldn't eat anything, and wanted to sleep, and that no one was allowed to disturb her. This whole thing was just weird!"
"Yes, our queen was indeed still alive at the time, but after one night, she was no longer breathing. Therefore, I have reason to believe that our queen was killed by Princess Yun!"
Ruyi looked solemn, staring at Concubine Ye seriously: "If you don't believe me, please ask Princess Yun to come over and confront me, and then we'll know everything clearly!"
Concubine Ye frowned slightly. She couldn't afford to offend that spoiled and willful little girl.
But Concubine De beside her interrupted, "Princess Yun? She and Concubine Ji are actually clashing?"
Ruyi nodded and said, "Yes, at that time, our queen was almost forced to hit her head against the wall and commit suicide. Fortunately, His Majesty arrived in time and saved her life. After His Majesty left, Princess Yun locked our queen in the room. I don't know what threat she made to the queen, but after she left, the queen's whole state changed. So, even if our queen was not killed by Princess Yun herself, she must be responsible!"
Concubine De stared at Ruyi: "You are suing Princess Yun!"
Ruyi said righteously, "I know."
De Fei continued to stare at her: "Do you know what the punishment will be if you report this?"
Ruyi shouted, "Even if I win the lawsuit, I will still die!"
Concubine De's face was more serious than ever before: "It's good that you know."
Ruyi: "I know that my death is not a pity, but we cannot let our queen die in vain and let the murderer go unpunished."
Concubine De took a deep breath and said to Concubine Ye in a serious tone, "Since Ruyi has said so much, why don't we ask Princess Yun over?"
