Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1008 - 1007: Speak! Was she really poisoned to death back then?

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1007: Speak! Was she really poisoned to death back then?

The consort, holding a basket, was about to hurry away with Xin Momo following behind her.

But unexpectedly, just around the corner, they ran right into the Empress and Ni Momo.

"It’s Noble Consort Liya!" Although she was a Noble Consort, Ni Momo showed no intention of saluting her.

It was actually Xin Momo, who was at Noble Consort Liya’s side, who quickly stepped forward two paces and saluted, "Greetings to the Empress!"

"How dare you!" Ni Momo, without another word, slapped Xin Momo across the face.

Xin Momo, though struck, did not dare to make a sound. She continued to stand by, head bowed, as if this sort of treatment had happened countless times before.

"Sister..."

Noble Consort Liya, nervous and uneasy, walked up to the Empress, not even daring to lift her head.

"What are you doing?" The Empress glanced at the basket in her and her maid’s hands, her face turning immediately ashen.

"You even dare to pay tribute to that wretched woman!"

With a slap, this time, the palm struck Noble Consort Liya’s face.

"Your Majesty!" Xin Momo, startled, hurriedly fell to her knees with a thump begging for mercy, "It’s all my fault, all my fault, it has nothing to do with her Majesty! Empress, please..."

"Who gave you the right to speak here!"

Ni Momo went over and kicked Xin Momo in the body.

Xin Momo was immediately kicked to the ground, her breaths erratic and blood boiling, unable to utter a word.

"Sister, it’s all my fault, Xin Momo was just following orders. Please don’t make it difficult for her..."

"Are you suggesting that I, the Empress, should trouble even a mere maid?" The Empress’s expression grew even more displeased.

Noble Consort Liya, biting her lip, shook her head and whispered, "Sister, it’s my fault. Please forgive me."

"You still know that I am your own sister!" the Empress scoffed.

Her birth name was Nangong Shuya, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family.

And Noble Consort Liya before her, named Nangong Liya, was just one of the many children from the Nangong house.

Back when the Empress was still the Princess, and with the then Prince Jing, now Emperor Jing, newly married, this sister of hers had climbed onto her brother-in-law’s bed.

It was said that Prince Jing had been drunk that night.

Afterward, to apologize to his Princess, Prince Jing ignored Nangong Liya for a long time.

But because Nangong Liya became pregnant and gave birth to Feng Xianyu, now Prince Yu, after Prince Jing became Emperor, Nangong Liya also entered the palace.

However, she remained out of favor, just a unnoticed consort. After taking her into the harem, the Emperor hardly glanced at her again!

Unexpectedly, Consort Rong, that wretched woman, secretly helped her, allowing her to regain favor in the Emperor’s eyes!

Even the Empress did not know how these two managed to come together.

In any case, they had become friends.

Consort Rong liked the quiet, unwilling to interact with anyone else in the harem, only willing to be with Noble Consort Liya.

At that time, the Emperor favored Consort Rong so much that because of her, he even began to favor Noble Consort Liya.

After Consort Rong left, the Emperor, heartbroken, often visited Noble Consort Liya’s palace, looking for a trace of Consort Rong.

Finally, Noble Consort Liya became the Empress, and Prince Yu became Crown Prince! Mother and son almost rivaled the Empress and her children in standing!

Everything, all the trouble caused by that wretched woman!

If it weren’t for Noble Consort Liya having Prince Yu, the Emperor would probably still have her care for Prince Xuan and Prince Shi, and foolish Consort Jin wouldn’t even have a chance!

The more the Empress thought about it, the more discontent she felt in her heart.

"Wretched woman, back then you and Consort Rong were like sisters, you must know her secrets back then! Tell me, was Consort Rong really poisoned to death?"
