Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 84 Who are you really?

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Who are you really?

The Empress Dowager had no time to react.

Following Chu Qianli’s gaze, Yu Linglong looked up.

Suddenly, her complexion changed.

She wanted to stop it, but it was already too late!

Chu Qianli casually tossed something from her sleeve, and the Heavenly Silkworm Silk hooked onto the beam.

With a light leap, she jumped up and wrapped the white silk around the beam.

The white silk fell down.

Standing back on the ground, Chu Qianli looked up and almost laughed.

"Empress Dowager, it seems I’ve overlooked something, the length of this white silk doesn’t seem quite satisfying," she said.

She could still reach and pull on it with her hand, just, to tie a knot around her neck and hang herself, one truly would have to jump up there.

It was slightly short.

The palace maid, Yao, was still unwilling to concede and anxiously said, "Miss Yu can perform Qinggong, she can jump up there."

"I didn’t say she couldn’t, but I just find the imagery a bit comical," Chu Qianli said with a light smile.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Thinking about it, someone frail and seeking death, hopping up and down to hang white silk and then jumping up to hang herself—

The imagery was indeed...awkward.

Yu Linglong’s face turned pale.

Her paleness at this moment was no act.

She already knew the mistake she had made.

A mistake that most people wouldn’t notice.

Unexpectedly, that wretch Chu Qianli could see it at a glance!

How had she become so formidable, with such meticulous thoughts and powerful reasoning!

She was nothing like the useless person she had been in the past!

"Empress Dowager, I’m now going to present you with even more convincing evidence!" Chu Qianli said.

She lifted her hands, grabbed both ends of the white silk, and mimicked the force needed for hanging as she pulled on it for a while.

Afterwards, she took down the white silk and presented it with both hands before the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, because the beam is so high, it’s very difficult for ordinary people to climb up there, so I would guess there must be a lot of dust accumulated on it," she said.

Even if the palace maids and eunuchs cleaned on a regular basis, they would only clean the places that were visible.

The unseen corners were always tended to carelessly.

There would definitely be dust on top of the beam, no need to even think about it.

"If Miss Yu did indeed use this white silk to hang herself, how could her white silk possibly be that clean?"

The face of the Empress Dowager gradually turned pale as well.

She saw it clearly.

The white silk Chu Qianli now held in her hands was dusty on the spot where it had been hanging on the beam!

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and suddenly stood up.

"Empress Dowager!" Yu Linglong only now knew panic.

The Empress Dowager cherished her and could even get rid of Chu Qianli for her sake!

But the Empress Dowager hated most the scheming and deceit among the harem’s concubines and their mutual deception.

She hated being lied to by others most of all!

"Empress Dowager, maybe... maybe Miss Yu didn’t use this white silk," the palace maid Yao quickly interjected to help.

Yunyun, almost out of her wits with panic, upon hearing what the palace maid Yao said, immediately came to her senses and hastened to add:

"Yes...yes, Empress Dowager, when my mistress hanged herself just now, she didn’t... she didn’t use this white..."

"Do you really take the Empress Dowager for a fool? Can’t you see the collusion and cover-up between you?" Chu Qianli snorted coldly.

The Empress Dowager’s heart suddenly felt ice-cold.

All at once, she felt weak.

After standing up, her frail body couldn’t help but sway.

"Empress Dowager!" The always silent palace maid Jin quickly stepped forward to support her.

Yu Linglong crawled off the bed and knelt on the ground with a thud:

"Empress Dowager, Linglong is just... Linglong is just not reconciled, Linglong didn’t harm the Fourteenth Prince! But Yexuan was deceived by Chu Qianli, condemning Linglong without any proof, Linglong just..."

"So, you deceived me like this?" the Empress Dowager said.

Her heart felt as though it was bleeding.

This was the girl she had trusted for so many years!

"Empress Dowager..."

"Go back," the Empress Dowager turned around.

She was truly too disappointed in Yu Linglong.

The palace maid Jin immediately supported her out the door without looking back.

Yu Linglong wanted to follow, but the palace maid Yao shook her head at her, signaling that it was not the time.

The palace maid Yao also chased after the Empress Dowager.

Chu Qianli gave Yu Linglong a passing glance and turned to leave as well.

Yu Linglong clenched her teeth and said, "You’re not Chu Qianli, who are you really?"
