"Haitang, we have no grudges against each other. You don't need to be so aggressive. Even if the Empress is now in the Cold Palace, there is still the Prime Minister..."
Before Jade could finish speaking, Begonia burst into laughter, interrupting Jade.
"Are you dreaming? You still expect the Prime Minister to help you? I advise you to give up on that idea. The Prime Minister is imprisoned too!"
"It's true what they say, you can know a person's face but not their heart. It's said that the Prime Minister was the mastermind behind the wrongful death of the Prince of Libei back then. Now that Bao Yong has finally arrived, the Prince of Libei was actually killed by the Prime Minister!"
"His Majesty has now imprisoned the Prime Minister in the inner palace, which can be considered a punishment for the Prime Minister's past misdeeds. Just wait, it won't be long before everyone knows that evil people get their just desserts!"
Begonia looked smug, while Emerald across from her was completely dumbfounded.
The Prime Minister has also been imprisoned by the Emperor?
Jade refused to believe what Begonia said, convinced that Begonia was deliberately trying to hurt her.
But seeing the state of Haitang, Emerald hesitated again.
If the Emperor hadn't imprisoned the Prime Minister, Haitang, a mere palace maid, would never have dared to speak so freely.
"What, you still don't believe me? Then ask the people around you and see what they say."
Haitang deliberately raised her voice when she spoke, so the palace maids and eunuchs who were sweeping the courtyard not far away all looked over after listening.
Seeing that she had attracted everyone's attention, Haitang stood up, waved her hands, and shouted.
"Stop for a moment, put down what you're doing, and come over here to say a few words."
The palace maids and eunuchs didn't know what Haitang was going to do, but seeing how anxious she was, they all put down their brooms and walked over to them.
At this moment, Jade was still in shock.
Before the people opposite could even stand still, Haitang had already spoken.
"Tell me, is it true that the Prime Minister has been imprisoned in the palace by the Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, two eunuchs immediately began blinking.
Before the two eunuchs could speak, one of the palace maids stepped forward and continued Haitang's words.
"Sister Haitang, everyone knows that the Prime Minister is imprisoned. What do you want to know?"
"What am I asking about? I just want to confirm if this is true, because some things, if only I say them, no one else will believe them."
As she spoke, Haitang glanced sideways at Fei Cui.
The young palace maid who had spoken earlier smiled after hearing this.
“Sister Haitang’s words are always reasonable and well-founded. Besides, it was the Emperor who ordered the Second Prince to lock up the Prime Minister. Otherwise, given our status, how would we dare to spread such rumors?”
As soon as the maid finished speaking, Emerald took two steps back, then her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
"I thought the people around Her Majesty the Empress were quite bold, but I didn't expect them to be so weak. They were so scared when they heard that the Prime Minister had been imprisoned that they collapsed!"
Haitang then launched into another round of sarcastic remarks at Fei Cui.
At this point, Jade had long since lost interest in Begonia.
Right now, Jade only has one thought in her mind.
What should be done now? What should the Empress do?
