Chapter 1009: Chapter 1008: Was it really the Empress who poisoned that cup of wine back then?

"Sister, what are you... what are you saying?" Noble Consort Li seemed to be terrified, her speech unclear.

"How could Sister Rong still be... still be alive? You saw her corpse too!"

"Who knows if that charred body was really hers? What evidence do you have that it was her?"

The Empress glared at her, wishing she could strangle her to death, "Won’t you speak the truth?"

"Sister, there was no one else in that room that year except for Sister Rong. If it wasn’t her, then who could it be?"

Although Noble Consort Li was very afraid, her voice trembling as she spoke, there was still a hint of resentment in her words.

"Moreover, that poisoned wine from back then, it was you, Sister... you watched her drink it with your own eyes..."

"Shut up!" The Empress’s face changed as she kicked out.

Noble Consort Li was sent rolling on the ground.

Xin Mommy was so scared that she crawled over, trying to help her up, but she had no strength at all.

"I was wrong, Sister was wrong! Sister knows nothing, Sister, I was wrong! I truly was wrong! Sister, please spare my life!"

The maid and her master knelt on the ground, looking at the Empress as they both trembled with fear.

The Empress stared back furiously, her face indescribably fierce, "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

"Sister, I really realize my mistake! I acknowledge my fault!"

Noble Consort Li, tears streaming down her face, dared not cry aloud, but continued to plead desperately, "Sister, I beg you, please show mercy, I was truly wrong!"

In the harem, the Empress overshadowed everything.

She was both a sister and a consort, whether it was in the Prince’s household or in the harem, she had to be obeyed.

Noble Consort Li was also asserting her status to the Empress, that no matter where, she was beneath her.

A sister, but also a concubine.

She knelt on the ground, head bowed, her voice hoarse, "This concubine will go back to Changle Palace right away to kneel and repent, Empress Mother, please grant me mercy."

"Get out!"

"Yes! Thank you, Empress Mother!"

Only then did the master and servant, supporting each other, leave with panic-stricken steps, as if fleeing for their lives.

When Noble Consort Li said she would kneel and repent in Changle Palace, it was not an empty promise.

After returning, she indeed knelt there.

Xin Mommy knelt beside her, seeing the swell of the slap mark on her mistress’s face, heart aching unbearably.

"My Lady, your face..."

"The Emperor doesn’t come by anymore, my face isn’t of much use now, it doesn’t matter."

"My Lady, you are... you are too easily bullied."

Xin Mommy sighed with pity, "My Lady, the Emperor doesn’t come by now only because his health is not what it used to be; it’s not that he doesn’t care for you."

"What’s the difference?" Noble Consort Li laughed dismissively, "His fondness for me in the past was only because of Sister Rong, after all, I’m just a substitute."

"My Lady..."

"You don’t need to comfort me, I am well aware. As long as Yuyu is safe and sound, I will be content."

Speaking of Prince Yuyu, Xin Mommy suddenly remembered something, "My Lady, Prince Yuyu is to enter the palace tomorrow. You cannot let your face stay like this; it would distress Prince Yuyu if he saw."

Noble Consort Li thought for a moment and quickly nodded, "Mommy, go get two hot eggs quickly, to reduce the swelling. We can’t let Yuyu realize."

"Yes!"

Xin Mommy immediately went to the kitchen to fetch hot eggs and came back. While she treated the swelling for Noble Consort Li, her mind wandered to certain things:

"My Lady, the poison wine from that year... Was it truly the Empress Mother... who forced it on Consort Rong?"
