Seeing her like this, Liu Wuyou knew that it was definitely not the news spread by Hongmian who was present at the time, nor was it Concubine Wei herself. It must be the real person behind the scenes who might be related to Concubine Jing.
It was strange that Concubine Jing died so quickly. It would be more accurate to say that she was murdered to silence her rather than committing suicide out of fear of punishment.
If she committed suicide out of fear of punishment, she would have to wait until Concubine Wei had determined the crime. However, Concubine Wei had just found out the truth and had not yet arrested Concubine Jing for interrogation when she jumped into the well.
It was obvious that the person behind the scenes got wind of the situation and took preemptive action, cutting off the clues of the matter on Concubine Jing.
Only the dead can keep secrets.
Now, whether Concubine Wei believes it or not, she can only regard Concubine Jing as the mastermind of everything, and the matter can only end here.
Concubine Shang hesitated for a long time, and then she said angrily:
"You just want to trick me into revealing this good person so that she will become like Sister Jingpin, right? You are such a vicious woman!" Concubine Shang pointed at Liu Wuyou and said it seriously.
Liu Wuyou was amused.
"Princess Shang, do you know why I came to the palace this time?"
"Of course I know!"
"Have you heard any recent gossip about the relationship between me and the Seventh Prince?"
Concubine Shang frowned and said with disgust, "Humph, you also know that your words and deeds are not right and you are being criticized?"
"Since you knew about my relationship with the Seventh Prince, why did you think I was going to deal with Concubine Jing? Are Concubine Jing and I related? I'm not from the harem. I'm just staying in Yaohua Palace temporarily. Think about it, why did the person who gave you the news know who killed Concubine Jing right after she died? Don't you think it's strange? Since Concubine Jing committed suicide, did she tell you, her inseparable sister, about her final wishes?"
Concubine Shang was confused by the question. She sat there and opened her mouth several times but didn't say a word.
But his expression became more desolate and frightened.
Liu Wuyou sighed in his heart and asked Yinhua to help Concubine Shang up.
"Princess Shang, the Imperial Concubine is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If Concubine Jing is truly innocent, she can just speak up. Helping the Imperial Concubine find the true villain can offset her faults. But she couldn't even speak a word in her own defense. If you don't want to be like her, then seek the Imperial Concubine's protection."
Concubine Shang looked so bewildered and frightened that she almost couldn't stand. She stared at Liu Wuyou blankly and was silent for a long time.
at last.
"Princess Wuyou, thank you." Concubine Shang said this tremblingly and left.
Yinhua asked curiously, "Miss, do you think Jingpin is really innocent?"
Liu Wuyou shook his head and said, "I don't know, but if Concubine Shang wants to live a peaceful life in the palace, this is the only way."
The harem is so treacherous that I can’t stay there for long.
"Let's go to Minghua Palace."
-
Liu Wuyou didn't want to stay in this cannibalistic harem any longer. She wanted to quickly find Xi Yanmo to ask for a way to help Chu Lingfeng get rid of the poison, and then leave the palace.
It would be best if Xi Yanmo could be taken away as well.
If Xi Yanmo really wanted to marry someone... then she should leave the palace as soon as possible.
Liu Wuyou was stopped before he reached Minghua Palace.
"Princess Wuyou, the Queen invites you." The one who came was the Queen's palace maid.
"I wonder if the Queen invited only me or other noble ladies as well?" Liu Wuyou asked with a smile.
"There is only the Wuyou County Master, please."
"Can you please let me go back and change my clothes? I need to dress more formally to meet the Empress."
The palace maid frowned, as if wondering whether she could let Liu Wuyou go back.
"Well, please go back with me, eunuch. I will change quickly and then go with you to see the Queen." Liu Wuyou said again.
The palace attendant hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Please, Princess Wuyou, hurry up."
