Imperial Concubine Zhao frowned and said in a cold tone, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty..."
Before Princess Xiao could continue speaking, Shang Ruoyi interrupted her.
"Royal Concubine." Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "This is a grudge between me and the Xiao Palace. We in the Ding Palace have no intention of making this matter public, but since Princess Xiao insists on tearing the veil, I will speak up in front of the Royal Concubine."
Princess Xiao looked at her and said coldly, "What grudge? What grudge? It's obvious that your Dingguo Palace relied on its own power to bully our Xiao Palace because we have no real power."
"Since you know you have no real power, why are you still showing off in front of our Dingguo Palace?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Since you don't know yourself, don't blame others for not showing you mercy." She looked at Princess Xiao and said coldly: "It hasn't been long since this grudge lasted. You all know that our Dingguo Palace was framed and exiled."
Her words of being framed made everyone present change their expressions.
Emperor Tianshun had previously issued a self-blame edict specifically for this matter.
This sentence directly cursed the emperor.
The looks of the ladies as they looked at Shang Ruoyi changed several times.
They never expected that the princess would be so courageous.
"Ahem." The Imperial Concubine coughed a few times: "What should I not say? It's better to be more careful."
Shang Ruoyi smiled disapprovingly: "Yes, I won't elaborate on the emperor's guilt here."
Regardless of everyone's sudden change of expression, she continued, "During the exile, we met Prince He Qing of Xiao. He used his status to try to privately punish us and wanted to execute us directly during the exile. If we hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid we would have been killed by him."
"You are talking nonsense!" Princess Xiao said angrily, "What evidence do you have?"
"How did your son return? And was the poison in his body completely cleared?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Xiao said angrily, "It's you! It turned out that you did it!"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Princess Xiao just said that I was talking nonsense, why do you admit it now?"
Princess Xiao pointed at Shang Ruoyi's nose with trembling hands and said, "You! You vicious woman! You have caused my son so much trouble!" The reason why He Qing has not been able to marry a wife is that he has become incapable of sexual intercourse since he was poisoned. This is a great shame for a man, so the Xiao Palace naturally did not dare to make it public, so no marriage has been discussed until now.
"Why didn't I kill you then?"
"I guess you knew that his poisoning had something to do with us, but you weren't sure who poisoned him, so you sent assassins later." Shang Ruoyi looked at her and whispered, "Am I right?"
Princess Xiao clenched her fists and wanted to refute, but then she heard Shang Ruoyi say, "You don't have to deny it so quickly. If you want a witness, I can find one."
Hearing her say this, the Imperial Concubine became a little nervous.
You know, after the Dingwang Palace was exiled, she sent several waves of assassins, but each time they returned empty-handed. If she can find out the Xiaowang Palace, she can naturally find hers.
Shang Ruoyi's eyes swept across her face, and she smiled and said, "My Lady, shouldn't I remember this deep hatred?"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Concubine looked at Princess Xiao with a gaze as cold as ice.
A person who is neither able to accomplish anything nor to cause any harm. She can't even do such a small thing. Not only can she not kill anyone, but she also left this mess for her to clean up.
"Princess Xiao, what do you say?"
"Your Majesty." Princess Xiao said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding. Qing'er, Qing'er is not that kind of child."
"You treat human life as worthless." Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Did I wrong him? Or did I wrong you? I didn't want to pursue this matter. I thought that since we are from the same clan and we didn't suffer any losses, I would not care about it. But you refused and insisted on insulting me again and again. I don't need to save face for you. I want to know what the emperor would say if this matter was put in front of him."
