Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Qiao’s face was calm and she did not feel guilty at all.
Fang Muxue and the others were firmly on Xie Qiao’s side. Now, no matter how the people around them looked at Xie Qiao with complicated gazes, they still did not feel that there was anything wrong with her.
They would go to the Xie Residence to study together a few days every month. How could they not know what kind of person Xie Qiao was?!
The servants of the Xie family had a pretty good life!
Take Chun Er for instance. Xie Qiao almost treated that young lady like her younger sister. If there was anything good, she would always include her!
Could Xie Qiao really be someone who looked down on human lives?!
There must be a reason why she wanted death for the gardeners!
Dong Xiyun had a chance to pretend to be a good person now. The expression on her face was like that of a benevolent bodhisattva, and her eyes were red.
She had always been very good at coaxing people. She got several young ladies to come up to her and comfort her. She had even made up her mind that she would request to see the Empress later and let the Empress decide!
The Empress was merciful and would definitely not be so heartless.
At that moment, the Empress was sitting in the middle of the palace.
Empress Dowager Jiang’s responsibility had long been excused. The Empress made all the decisions in the palace, no matter big or small.
Great Consort Mei was almost sixty years old, but her hair was jet black and there were not many wrinkles on her face. She looked like she was about the same age as the Empress.
Great Consort Mei had stayed in the palace for many years, and the Empress had only seen her by chance.
Thinking about it carefully, every time she saw Great Consort Mei over the years, this person did not seem to have changed much.
The Empress did not know much at this moment.
As soon as Great Consort Mei walked out of her palace, Zhao Xuanjing ordered people to search her palace.
“Bring the items up,” Zhao Xuanjing said directly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuchs outside carried many things out.
Among them were red and white jars. They were big, and it was unknown what was in them. There were also some simple bottles and jars, which were said to be blocks sealed with beeswax.
They all looked quite strange.
Upon seeing these things, Great Consort Mei’s expression changed. “Why did the Empress have people touch my things?! Haven’t I been well-behaved in the palace all these years?! Why did you humiliate me like this? If I had known this would happen, I would have followed the late emperor back then!”
The Empress was troubled by these words.
She rubbed between her brows and said as she looked at the Crown Prince, “Is she breaking the palace rules to be owning these items?”
It must be so. Otherwise, her son would not be so ostentatious.
However, she was also curious about what these things were that made the indifferent Crown Prince take them so seriously and bring them out directly which was humiliating to Great Consort Mei.
“Back then, the late emperor pitied you and was worried that you would suffer if you went to the imperial temple to cultivate, so he asked you to take care of Prince Rong. He thought that Prince Rong would take care of you for the rest of your life, right?” Zhao Xuanjing asked coldly with a cold expression.
“That’s right.” Great Consort Mei’s eyes were also cold and aloof.
At that time, that was what the late emperor thought. If Prince Rong was in the capital, her life would be good indeed!
However, Prince Rong and his uncle rode on horses on the streets and trampled people to death!
The Emperor was furious. He sentenced the uncle to death and chased Prince Rong away, changing his fiefdom into an extremely remote and cold place!
She thought it would be torturous to live in that place. Moreover, Prince Rong had to take care of his lowly birth mother. If she really went to the fiefdom with them, would she have a good life?
Therefore, she stayed!
“The late emperor was kind to you, but you’re not worthy,” Zhao Xuanjing said coldly. “Imperial physician, come in and check these things carefully!”
