"That imperial physician was introduced by the Imperial Concubine, so the Imperial Concubine must be responsible for my poisoning."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and should not have listened to slander. But we are childhood sweethearts, and you know me well. I am not such a bad person at heart, but... I was instigated by others."
Helian Xiao nodded.
really.
Jiang Wanwan's throat was still in pain, so she spoke slowly.
By the time she finished speaking, there was not much time left.
Finally, she looked at Zhu Xianyue's belly and said, "Let me use my final moments to sing a song for my unborn nephew..."
"It's dark, don't be afraid, little darling, someone loves you..."
Jiang Wanwan's voice is really unpleasant.
But Zhu Xianyue's eyes turned red when she heard this.
It seems that Jiang Wanwan really loves the baby in her belly.
She is not fit to stay in the royal family.
If they were ordinary sisters-in-law, they would definitely get along very happily.
Soon, Jiang Wanwan died.
Two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes, and his fingers dropped.
Another fragrant soul was buried in the Sheng Dynasty palace.
"Your Majesty! Please listen to my explanation!"
Cheng Qionghua knelt down, her face pale with panic.
But what could she say?
What Jiang Wanwan said is all true.
Instead, De Fei Du Yueshu knelt down obediently, straightened her spine, and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I am guilty. I became jealous of Shu Fei and did ask the Empress to bring Shu Fei's child to Weiyang Palace to raise."
"But, but I don't have the courage to harm the Queen's life!"
Du Yueshu's apology frightened Cheng Qionghua.
She clearly remembered that it was Du Yueshu who told her that Qiucaoxiang was poisonous.
But, but... Du Yueshu just mentioned it casually and didn't ask her to do it.
She was just overthinking it and ended up being Du Yueshu's scapegoat.
"Du Yueshu, you're such a good person! You let me take the blame while you're just sitting there and taking advantage of the situation! Now that I can't survive, neither can you!"
It is an established fact that Cheng Qionghua murdered the Queen.
Even if she tried to argue now, it wouldn't be long before Empress Dowager Jiang and Helian Xiao would find out.
Murdering the queen is a capital crime and may even implicate her family.
My brother is loyal to Helian Xiao, so I believe Helian Xiao will show leniency to him.
However, before she died, she wanted to drag Du Yueshu down with her.
Cheng Qionghua pounced towards Du Yueshu.
Du Yueshu is agile and can dodge.
However, she seemed to be hit by something and staggered there.
Others didn't notice, but Zhu Xianyue saw it clearly - the ring thrown by Helian Xiao made Du Yueshu unable to move.
Cheng Qionghua cried out and pounced forward.
The nails painted with cardamom directly scratched Du Yueshu's face until it was torn to pieces.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! Your Majesty, please save me!"
Helian Xiao waited until Cheng Qionghua was almost captured before he asked the eunuch to pull Cheng Qionghua away.
"Noble Consort Cheng Qionghua has attempted to murder the Empress. Effective immediately, she will be demoted to a commoner and escorted to the Imperial Court to await further punishment."
"De Fei Du Yueshu slandered the emperor and made progress, and her virtue was unworthy of her position. However, considering her sincere attitude in admitting her mistakes, I will only strip her of her title and demote her to a talented person."
Talented person...her rank is even lower than that of Liu Yuyan who was demoted to a concubine!
Du Yueshu's head was buzzing.
All my thoughts are on my face.
My mind is full of one sentence -
She was disfigured.
From then on, he no longer received divine favor.
Then what's the point of her living?
What’s the point of all her painstaking planning?
