Aunt Jiang was very smart. As soon as she heard Queen Mother Zhou's tone, she knew that she and Aunt Meng had become the scapegoats for Princess Zhaorong.
But from beginning to end, she was an accomplice in this matter. She was thrown into the sky prison and lost her power. She was really unwilling to accept it, so she put all the blame on Grandma Meng. You can get away with it yourself.
Aunt Meng stared at her hard, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
"Jiang, you are so despicable. Although I was the one who did it, it was you and me who benefited from the princess..." She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, her mouth opened wide in shock, and she could not say a word.
At this point, Queen Mother Zhou felt like a mirror.
Princess Zhaorong's words could deceive others, but they could not hide it from her.
Although she was disappointed in her heart, she thought of her late cousin and decided to take on all this for Zhaorong. No matter what, she could not let Princess Zhaorong's life be ruined like this.
"Shut up! Pull these two naughty slaves down immediately, cut off their tongues first, and then chop off their limbs!"
Empress Dowager Zhou ordered coldly.
Nanny Meng and Jiang were so frightened that they fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
The guards pulled the two men up from the ground like wolves and tigers. Without saying a word, they cut out their tongues and their blood flowed all over the floor.
The two of them almost fainted from the pain.
When Tai Lin and the palace maids present saw this scene, they were all trembling with fear. They buried their heads low and huddled in the corner, not daring to express their anger.
Both Mo Chuan and Shen Ning knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was trying to scare the monkeys by killing the two nuns' tongues to warn everyone present that anyone dared to talk too much and leak what happened today.
Of course, the main reason is that these two people will never be able to tell the secret of Princess Zhaorong.
Mo Chuan's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Shen Ning quietly pulled his sleeve and shook her head slightly.
She knew that Mo Chuan wanted to let Queen Mother Zhou punish Princess Zhaorong, but Queen Mother Zhou had already made it clear that she would protect her shortcomings until the end. No matter what Mo Chuan said, Queen Mother Zhou would not punish Princess Zhaorong.
"ah!"
The two nuns' limbs were also chopped off by the guards, and they both fainted immediately.
This bloody scene made everyone around them tremble with fear, and they were all scared out of their wits.
Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand: "Pull it down and give me three feet of white silk."
This means killing people and silencing them.
The two nuns were dragged out by the guards like dogs to death while they were unconscious. What awaited them was the fate of their imminent death.
Although these two people deserved their crimes and did not deserve sympathy, Shen Ning saw such a miserable end and gained a deeper understanding of the ruthlessness in the palace.
She sighed in her heart, unwilling to stay here any longer.
Empress Dowager Zhou was thinking about Princess Zhaorong and had no intention of talking to them anymore. She waved her hand and asked them to leave, then went to visit Princess Zhaorong on crutches.
Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, her heart was in a mess, and every step she took was very heavy.
Today, the matter had twists and turns, and the development was completely beyond her expectation. Even she, who had experienced countless storms and major events, felt helpless and had a severe headache.
What happened to Zhaorong was her own fault. She ruined her innocence and her life!
