The Queen Mother looked at the palace maids and eunuchs below with a dignified gaze: "I want to ask you, what do you know about this honeysuckle? Tell me the truth!"
The palace maids and eunuchs did not think much about it.
"Your servant... Your servant once saw her secretly go to Minghe Palace."
"I once saw her whispering something with Yixue, a maid from Minghe Palace, hiding inside the rockery."
"I also saw her whispering with Hatsuyuki, the maid of Minghe Palace, in a corner of the Imperial Garden."
Concubine Wan lowered her head, and no one could see the expression on her face. Chuxue Yixue's face turned pale to the naked eye.
They didn't expect that even though they were so careful, they were still seen by others.
The Queen Mother had actually noticed this a long time ago, but she had kept it secret.
After all, neither Jingren Palace nor Minghe Palace was what she liked.
She slammed the table hard, staring at Ren Dong fiercely: "How dare you, you slut, betray your master? Why don't you tell the truth?"
"Your servant... Your servant..."
Honeysuckle was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, sweating profusely.
She glanced at the emperor, then at Concubine Wan, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "My mistress told me to do all this. She instructed me to do it."
As she spoke, she began to cry: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I grew up with the young lady. The young lady has always been arrogant. Whatever the young lady asks me to do, I dare not disobey!"
Su Qiao glanced at her without changing his expression.
This little girl is looking for death, and no one can stop her.
The eunuch who had exposed her before retorted: "No, if it was the Imperial Concubine who ordered you to harm the Imperial Concubine Wan, then why did Chuxue and the others stuff purses into your pockets? Didn't you stuff purses into their pockets?"
As he spoke, he kowtowed to the Queen Mother and the Emperor above him:
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I saw Chuxue secretly give her a purse when she met him. It was bulging with stuff. You could tell at a glance that it was filled with gold, silver, jade, and other things."
"You are slandering me. I didn't take any money from them at all."
Rendong was completely panicked. She pointed at the young eunuch and wished she could pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
The young eunuch snorted coldly, looked at the emperor on the throne, and raised three fingers:
"Your Majesty, I swear to heaven that everything I said is true and I dare not tell a single lie. If I told a lie just now, I will be struck by lightning and go to the eighteenth level of hell after I die!"
Seeing this, the other three also swore:
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother, your Majesty, and I, your servants, can also swear to the heavens that every word I say is true, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
The Queen Mother stared at Jin Dong with murderous eyes: "Bitch, do you have anything else to say?"
“I… I…” Honeysuckle didn’t expect things to get out of control.
She opened her mouth, unable to make any excuses.
Finally, she crawled towards Su Qiao's footsteps, crying with tears all over her face: "Miss, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please, for the sake of me staying by your side for so many years, save me! Save me!"
Nanny Bai stepped forward and kicked her away to prevent her from hurting the Empress.
Su Qiao glanced at her calmly and said, "Some time ago, I gave you a chance out of our old relationship and said I would send you out of the palace, but you flatly refused and were determined to go all the way. I couldn't even stop you."
"You shouldn't give such a slut a chance. You are just too soft-hearted, kid."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Wan's two personal maids with a stern look: "What else do you have to say?"
