A drop of rainwater on the banana leaf slid down the veins of the leaf and landed on Ning Shu's cheek. She reached out to wipe it away and sighed slightly. "Although their revenge is almost complete, the price is still too high."
No merchant in this world was willing to make a loss, but they did. The compensation was one to four. It was so tragic. Even though Imperial Concubine Qi had gone crazy, the Qi Family had received the title of Imperial Concubine and the Emperor's pity. On the other hand, Mother Hui and Jing Zhong had to bear the infamy of being a traitor and be whipped in public. Could this really be considered a result?
Xiahou Qing said softly, "No matter what happens after they die, at the moment of their deaths, it can be said that their long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, isn't it?"
Ning Shu blinked and pondered for a long time with her eyes lowered. Then, she suddenly understood.
That's right, they had planned for so many years and waited bitterly for this day. Regardless of whether it was hatred or guilt, they had all been comforted today. As for the soulless remains of a body after death, what difference did it make whether the body was burned to ashes or burned to ashes?
The greatest fortune in life was to ask for benevolence and obtain benevolence.
The gloominess in his chest dissipated without a sound. Ning Shu let out a long breath and raised her chin to look at the man beside her. She suddenly asked curiously, "Your Highness, aren't you anxious?"
"What's there to be anxious about?"
After the excess emotions were swept away, Ning Shu quickly regained her rationality. She quickly went through the series of events that had just happened. "The Plum Blossom Kiss appeared again. According to the situation at that time, the poison must have been placed on Imperial Concubine Qi by Old Concubine Yu. But before I could ask any questions, Old Concubine Yu had already committed suicide and the clues were cut off. Now, if we want to wait for the next clue, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a long time. Furthermore, this wait is very likely to come to nothing. "
It was truly too confusing.
Could it be that the person who had used the Plum Blossom Kiss to control the situation was Old Concubine Yu? But this didn't make any sense. If it was Old Concubine Yu who had poisoned Imperial Concubine Qi, it was understandable. After all, Imperial Concubine Yu had killed Imperial Concubine Yu six years ago. But why did Old Princess Consort Yu want to harm her and Xiahou Qing?
There was no enmity between them, and they were completely unrelated to each other. What reason was there for her to spend so much effort on this matter? Also, how did she manage to give Consort Qi a kiss?
At that time, there were so many pairs of eyes watching. Old Princess Consort Yu walked in front of Consort Qi and bent down to whisper a few words in her ear. Then, she took out the bottle containing the antidote and casually poured out a pill to feed Consort Qi. Could it be that the antidote was added to the poison? But why was it that everyone else was fine after taking the antidote, but only Qi Fei was poisoned? How did Old Princess Consort Yu ensure that she would be able to find the only pill that had been tampered with?
Questions popped in her head like firecrackers, filling her with confusion. She wanted to examine Old Princess Yu's body to see if she could find any clues, but His Majesty had ordered the chief eunuch, Zhao Bin, to take over the funeral and no one else was allowed to interfere. She watched helplessly as the clues passed by her twice. She couldn't help but feel anxious.
After listening to her narration, Xiahou Qing nodded and seemed to have realized something. "Anxious."
Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. Just as she was thinking, 'This is the normal reaction that a human should have. It's not like a living person to be so calm.'
Then, she heard Xiahou Qing continue, "So you can immediately investigate the secret of the Plum Blossom Kiss and help me find the antidote?"
