By the time the guards arrived after hearing the noise, the woman was already dead.
When Queen Yang found out, she was so frightened that she collapsed all over.
"How, how could he die suddenly?"
The eunuch Hai Gonggong, who had gone to inquire about the cause, said, "I heard that the death was tragic and strange."
"There were several wounds on his body, but there wasn't a drop of blood on the ground."
"The blood at the wound was black, as if it had been blown apart by something."
The queen retched after hearing this.
The old lady scolded: "Stop talking."
"Get down!"
After everyone had left, the old nanny patted the queen and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. This matter has nothing to do with you."
The Queen looked nervous. "Why not? This girl was sent here by her family. They said she could help me solve my problems!"
"If you continue to investigate, you will definitely find me! How can you hide the identity of this witch?"
"Your Majesty just sentenced the Fourth Brother to death for witchcraft, and he's still in jail crying out for justice."
"Although I haven't done anything yet, if the Crown Prince is implicated because of this woman's identity, wouldn't that be too unfair?"
"I don't want to harm the East Palace!"
The old maid said: "Your Majesty the Queen! You are the Queen, the master of the harem, the mother of the world."
"Go and claim her, and tell her that you scolded her yesterday, and this maidservant actually wanted to run away from the palace."
"You don't know what evil has befallen her, let alone her true identity. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."
"Although you were sent to the palace by the Yang family, you have only been here for a few days."
"Anyway..."
Before she could finish her words, a palace maid came in hurriedly and announced, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess's wet nurse is here."
"I have important clues to share with you regarding the palace maid who died in unusual circumstances today."
The queen's heart skipped a beat.
She looked at the old nanny beside her with an uneasy look on her face, and the old nanny shook the queen's hand firmly.
After stabilizing the Queen's position, the seventh princess's wet nurse was summoned in.
After greeting the Seventh Princess, the Seventh Princess's nurse came straight to the point and said, "Her Majesty, our Highness the Princess sent this old servant to come and tell you something."
"She suddenly remembered that the maidservant who had been with you these past two days was someone she had seen with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince before."
"I heard earlier that she had died. Her Highness was afraid that you had been deceived and would be implicated, so she sent this old servant to investigate how the people around you were doing things. How dare you transfer this criminal slave to your side?"
"As for the rest, Your Highness heard that there was a portrait next to the maid, but it seems someone saw it last night and someone picked it up."
The Queen lost her composure and whispered, "What?"
The old lady personally escorted the person out.
"The Empress was set up by thieves, and we almost fell for it. Fortunately, this lowly servant was taken back by heaven. She truly deserved death!"
"This old servant would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess on behalf of the Empress. Her filial piety towards the Empress is evident to us and we understand it."
After watching the wet nurse walk away completely, the old nurse hurried back into the hall.
The queen's face was pale and she collapsed completely on the main seat.
"Your Majesty, please cheer up. We really don't know what's going on with this witch and how she's connected to the Fourth Prince."
"Something must have gone wrong back home, otherwise how could they dare to send someone like this to you?"
"Fortunately she's dead!"
Queen: "I was wondering how she knew so well that the treasure was what the Fourth Prince wanted."
"It turns out that she is the Fourth Prince's woman!"
"I almost fell for her trick."
"She also said that Nangong might be the Lady of Yaoguang County in Daliang. If that's true, why wouldn't Old Six, who's been to Daliang, tell me?"
"He became a cripple in Daliang. He should hate the people of Daliang to the core!"
"What happened to my father?"
"Doesn't she know that the fourth brother has just been dismounted and is trying every possible way to turn things around?"
"If something goes wrong between the witch and me and the East Palace at this time, it will be the fourth brother's chance."
"Now that I think about it, I almost did something wrong."
"Nangong was summoned into the palace by His Majesty. No matter what errand Li Wu was on, His Majesty will have to decide his fate. I'm almost confused!"
The old nanny could only keep comforting the queen: "Fortunately, the incident hasn't happened yet, has it?"
Queen: "But, but how did she die?"
"Who wants to kill her?"
"There is that painting. Who picked it up?"
"If this gets reported to the Nangong family, or if someone else with ulterior motives uses the portrait to frame me, how will I respond?"
Back here in the inner palace, the queen was completely thrown into disarray.
Over there in the Seventh Princess's palace, Li Qingluo was burning her own portrait.
Madam Zheng: "Miss, this queen is also brainless."
"You almost became a pawn of the Yungu Sect to deal with you. Fortunately, your identity should not be exposed yet, right?"
Li Qingluo: "Yun Gu is the remnant of Zulia. If they dare to come near me again, I will kill one by one. If they come in pairs, I will kill them both."
"Anyway, this hatred has already been formed."
Nanny Zheng nodded.
The master and servant looked at the scroll in the brazier that was completely burned to ashes, and they felt indifferent.
Xiqiu suddenly knocked on the door: "Miss, the Seventh Princess is here."
Li Qingluo turned around and went out to greet him.
