Hearing the exclamation of the little palace maid, Empress Duanjing's face froze, and her voice became even more majestic. "Who is the demon girl and what kind of sorcery are you talking about? Talk clearly. If you dare to confuse the public in the palace, you know what the consequences will be!"

Concubine Li's incident had just subsided, and the people in the palace were still unstable. She didn't want any more troubles.

The little palace maid was laying on the ground, trembling all over, and said with a crying voice. "Empress Empress, everything the servant said is true. This eldest lady of the Zhao family is a demon girl, she can do magic arts."

"Nonsense, she is the eldest lady of Zhao Jiang's residence, and the future Princess Xuan, how can she be a demon girl?" Ning Huan asked anxiously.

The Dasheng Dynasty had forbidden the use of dark sorcery or black magic, and the invoking of otherworldly entities in the forms of demons, ghosts and the likes. Although Ning Hua had not known Zhao Ling for a long time, she still liked Zhao Ling's sincerity and generosity. She intuitively believed in Zhao Ling, how could such a calm and upright person be a witch?

"Miss Ning and Miss Zhao have not known each other for a long time, how can you make such an assertion so easily?" The Anping County Lady retorted. Her expression was light, making people unable to see through her emotions. Afterwards, she turned to the Empress and said, "Empress Empress, this palace maid was just sent by me to invite Miss Zhao. Because I saw Miss Zhao's talent, I wanted to invite her to enjoy flowers and sing poetry together." 

The maid nodded on her knees, still crying.

After that, the Anping County Master sternly said to the palace maid who was laying on the ground: "What happened just now, please explain it to the Empress!"

The little palace maid was still trembling all over, as if she was very scared. "Yes, the county master. Just now when the servant was ordered to invite Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao was arguing with Mrs. Shizi about something. When the servant arrived, I asked Miss Zhao to come over. Miss Zhao asked the servant to raise her head. Come and ask which palace maid the servant is. After the servant raised her head and saw the eyes of Miss Zhao, she seemed to have lost consciousness and didn't know anything. When I woke up, I saw Mrs. Shizi laying on the ground covered in blood. Please, the Queen's concubine, the slave girl really doesn't know anything. It's Miss Zhao. It must be Miss Zhao who controlled the slave slave with magic, and used the slave to hurt the prince's wife."

After speaking, the little palace maid glanced at Zhao Ling in horror, then immediately lowered her head, laying on the ground shivering.

This soft and weak Zhao family eldest lady actually knew how to perform sorcery! Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Ling and took a few steps away from her unconsciously.

Among the concubines, only Concubine Xian was grateful to Zhao Ling because she made excuses for Meng Tianlin last time she was in the Funing Hall. She also knew that this incidence was no trivial matter, and Zhao Ling would not be able to get away easily, so she quietly sent her personal maid to invite King Xuan.

In the current situation, perhaps only King Xuan could help her get out of trouble.

Ning Chan and Fu Yuechan stood firmly beside Zhao Ling, as if to protect her.

Fu Yuechan's face was pale, and she was a little scared, but she didn't believe that this kind-hearted sister Ling would be a witch.

Ning Hua was even more convinced that with her experience of knowing people, how could Zhao Ling, who was so calm and upright, be a demon girl or a witch? She shook Zhao Ling's hand and gave her wordless support.

Receiving the trusting gazes of Ning Chan and Fu Yuechan, Zhao Ling smiled gratefully at them, her face always calm and gentle.

She knew this was a designed ploy. And the people who laid this plot were undoubtedly Zhao Ruo and Anping County Master.

No wonder Meng Yunce brought Zhao Ruo to this banquet abnormally tonight. It turned out to be for such a play, and he even found the perfect partner for the plot in Princess Anping.

Just how did Zhao Ruo knew that she could hypnotize? Hadn't the interrogation of the assassin already been suppressed by Meng Yuan?

But in the current situation, she couldn't think too much about it, and it was more important to solve the immediate problems first.

She calmly bowed to Empress Duanjing, and said in a calm tone: "Empress Empress, the minister's eldest daughter and Mrs. Shizi are sisters, how could she hurt her for no reason? Just now, this palace maid suddenly shot her hands forward and hurt Mrs. Shizi, and now she is talking again. Bloody nonsense, blaming minister's daughter. I don't know what's the motive, I also ask the empress to investigate this."

The little palace maid on the ground was crying and screaming that she was wronged. "Empress Empress, this servant has been wronged. The servant and the madam have no enmity, so how could I harm her for no reason? When the servant came to invite Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao was arguing fiercely with the madam, it must be Miss Zhao. In a fit of anger, she controlled this slave with witchcraft, so that the slave would become unconscious and do things that hurt the prince's wife. The slaves have a cheap life, and it is not a pity to die, but the slave swear by her own life, what the slave said, is true. Please, I ask the Empress to see it clearly."

After the little palace maid finished speaking, she showed a resolute look on her face. She flew a few steps and slammed her head into the rockery next to her. Her head was broken and her petite body fell softly to the ground.

This little palace maid's action to seek death was very fast, as if she had prepared it in advance, and the head-butting movement was neat, without any hesitation, everyone wasn't expecting to see that, and all were taken aback by her.
