The captain of the guards stopped her again and said:
"The Emperor has already ascertained that the murderer of the Empress is none other than Concubine Jin. Concubine Jin's personal maid, Caizhi, has confessed everything. The Emperor has promised the Empress that upon your order, Concubine Jin will be executed on a chosen day."
Hua Yunya had been demoted to a commoner, but her title was not stripped away. One reason was to humiliate her, and the other was to distinguish her. They also didn't want someone as lowly as her to be given the same surname as Qiao Yu.
Before Qiao Yu could say anything, Zhu'er's face looked extremely ugly.
As expected, just as the Empress said, the Emperor still protects Qiu Ziqiang.

Aunt Yao's eyes were about to pop out of her head with fear, but fortunately, when she said those unpleasant words, the captain of the guards blocked her mouth, so no shrill scream was heard.
"It's okay. There's no need to kill her. Just lock her up in the woodshed and give her thirty lashes. After all, she's my elder, isn't she?"
