Zhao Ling sneered to herself. It seemed that the plans of the Anping County Master and Zhao Ruo were both vicious and thoughtful. In their eyes, perhaps, the life of a little palace maid was not worth mentioning at all.

The maid next to Empress Duanjing immediately stepped forward, sniffed the little palace maid's breath, and returned to Empress Duanjing and said, "Empress, the person is already dead."

Dead? The on-lookers around were all women, and they were generally timid. When they saw the tragic death of the little palace maid, they screamed one after another, and the crowd began to be chaotic.

Empress Duanjing never liked these bloody scenes, but now that a good flower-viewing would become like this, she was furious. Over the years, under her own governance, the harem had always been calm and peaceful, but recently, there have been frequent situations. 

The matter of the fake Concubine Li hiding Wushi San had made her unable to hold her head up in front of Emperor Mingd. Now there was still a mess of witchcraft, which was really a wave of unresolved matter, and she couldn't let myself live for a moment.

However, Zhao Ruo did not care about the blood dripping on her back at this time, she crawled towards Zhao Ling, hugged her leg and cried, "Big sister, you are so cruel. My husband married me, but didn't the emperor also marry you and King Xuan later? Why do you keep brooding, hold grudges against me, and hurt me repeatedly? Usually, you just hurt me at home, but now It's in the palace, the palace is a quiet place, how can you use such vicious sorcery to hurt me? Big sister, even if you get angry again, you can't use sorcery in the palace!"

Zhao Ruo burst into tears, and the wound on her back continued to overflow with blood, which made her pretty face pale and sympathetic.

Empress Duanjing couldn't help but have some doubts about Zhao Ling. It seemed that since the eldest Zhao family entered the palace, the palace began to be uneasy. This girl from the Zhao family could only do things that ordinary women couldn't, and it was a bit suspicious to say the least.

Empress Duanjing said to Zhao Ling with a cold face. "Miss Zhao, Madam Shizi is your sister, and even she admits that you know magic, what else do you have to say?"

This Zhao Ruo, it seemed that this time, she was desperate, and she would not hesitate to use the bitter trick, but also push her to the path of the witchcraft.

Zhao Ling had to admit that this move was indeed a brilliant move, especially this little palace maid, who had to risk her own life to prove that she was a demon girl, and now everyone was suspicious, no matter how much she denied it, it was still an excuse.

But she knew that she could not admit that she was a witch no matter what. In desperation, she had to kneel before Empress Duanjing, but her tone remained firm. "The servant girl has not harmed the wife of the prince, and she is not good at any magic tricks. The lady of the prince probably lost too much blood, her consciousness is a little blurred, and she is talking nonsense. Please I ask the empress to check this."

"I didn't, I'm very awake." Zhao Ruo knelt beside her and shouted in a hurry, "The Empress, the concubine heard that the last time King Xuan encountered assassins on his way back to Sheijing, sister just looked at those assassins, all the assassins were all obediently telling the truth, if it wasn't for sister who knew how to perform sorcery, how could she do this?"

Sure enough, that's what happened. It was just that she didn't reveal anything about the matter at the Duke's Mansion, how did Zhao Ruo know?

She looked at Zhao Ruo sharply, and said coldly, "Second sister, do you know what you are talking about, you dare to say such things in the palace?"

When King Xuan was almost assassinated, they knew it involved the struggle between the various forces in the palace. This Zhao Ruo seemed to be really blinded by hatred, yet dared to publicize it like this in the palace.

It was no wonder that she was only a concubine of Meng Yunce, and naturally she did not know the influence and powers behind this matter. Prince Rong's Mansion was a faction of King Luo's side.

This was something that everyone knew quite well, and the assassin last time was sent by King Luo, so it was naturally inseparable from Prince Rong's Mansion. This Zhao Ruo did not shy away from publicizing the matter, and was not afraid that King Luo would kill her.

Seeing that Zhao Ling's attitude was firm, her face calm, and she refused to admit it, Empress Duanjing was helpless for a while. After all, it was the eldest daughter of the Zhao Jiang's mansion, the future Princess Xuan, even if the Jiang's mansion was in decline now, but the Xuanwang mansion had deep roots and a heavy army, she still couldn't easily offend them.

Empress Duanjing pondered for a while, and saw that Princess Zhaoren was by her side, her eyes lit up. The long princess always had an idea, why didn't she push this problem to her? So she turned around and asked, "According to the princess's wishes, what should I do with this matter?"

Princess Zhaoren was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, and should be slightly older than Empress Duanjing in terms of age. However, due to her excellent maintenance, her face was still beautiful. The eyebrows and eyes that were very similar to those of Princess Anping, were slightly raised, and she did not seem to be a gentle person.

Hearing Empress Duanjing's inquiry, her willow-leaf eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked down at Zhao Ling, who was kneeling on the ground without changing her color, and said slowly, "I have long heard that the eldest lady of the Zhao family is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. Now, when I see it, I think the rumors are a bit credible. It's just that today's events have nothing to do with you. Now it has caused one death and one injury, and it has made the palace uneasy. If you are released like this, not only is it difficult to convince the public, but Miss Zhao must always bear the name of a demon girl. Therefore, according to this palace's rules, we should temporarily imprison Miss Zhao until the matter is investigated, no matter whether Miss Zhao is a witch or not. So I can explain satisfactorily to everyone."

Zhao Ling raised her eyebrows. Listening to the meaning of this Princess Zhaoren words, it appeared she was going to put her in jail? Moreover, what she said was on extremely fractured floor.. When the matter was found out in the future, she might still be a witch, and she might be imprisoned for the rest of her life.
