"Momo, what nonsense are you spouting? How could the Empress possibly do such a thing?"
Consort Li looked at Xin Momo as if she had seen a ghost.
She lowered her eyelids, not allowing anyone to see her emotions at that moment.
Her voice, however, remained somewhat firm: "It wasn't the Empress who did it. Consort Rong was forced by those ministers to poison herself. Don't overthink things, understand?"
"Yes, yes! This servant understands, this servant knows her mistake, and will never speak carelessly again."
...The wind outside swept past.
When Momo Ni returned, the Empress was drinking tea.
"How was it?" Hearing Momo Ni enter, the Empress asked calmly without even lifting her head, "Did that bitch say anything?"
"No, not a single word was revealed."
Momo Ni walked behind her and whispered, "She knows that if she speaks carelessly, Prince Yu will be in danger. She doesn't dare to act rashly for now."
"Prince Yu is also a man with hidden intentions!" the Empress snorted coldly.
Momo Ni's voice lowered again, "Your Majesty, since you are worried that Consort Li might reveal things, then... should we find an opportunity to eliminate her?"
"What's the use of eliminating her? Prince Yu probably knows something too. If Consort Li suddenly dies unnaturally, Prince Yu will place this hatred upon me."
The Empress put down her cup and looked up at her.
Momo Ni pursed her lips and nodded, "I understand. Then, let Consort Li live a few more days!"
The Empress said nothing, only instinctively placing her hand on her lower abdomen, gently covering it.
Momo Ni immediately became nervous, "Your Majesty, has your lower abdomen started to hurt again?"
Hadn't Chu Qianli cured Your Majesty's chronic illness for so many years? Could there be after-effects?
Was that dead girl's medical skill so poor?
The Empress shook her head, "It's just a habitual feeling of discomfort."
"Then..."
"Even though that girl's intentions were impure, when treating patients, she was at least focused and pure."
Upon hearing this, Momo Ni was immediately relieved.
Your Majesty's chronic illness was completely cured.
However...
"Your Majesty, there are some things this servant doesn't know if she should say."
The Empress gave her a sidelong glance, "Even you want to waste Your Majesty's thoughts?"
"This servant dares not." Momo Ni no longer hesitated and whispered, "Your Majesty, Chu Qianli is not only not the Empress of Leng Teng, but has also become a sinner of Long Teng."
"She can now be said to be worthless, except for her medical skills. But Your Majesty's illness is also cured, so her medical skills hold little value to Your Majesty."
The Empress was also contemplating this issue.
Therefore, if they were to continue protecting Chu Qianli now, it would be a loss outweighing the gain for them.
It seemed there was no longer any necessity.
"Does Your Majesty know that there seems to be news from Prince Xuan's manor that Prince Xuan wants to be with Princess Feiyan?"
"There is news?" What kind of news is this? The Empress frowned, "Is it Feng Ye Xuan's own intention?"
"It's likely the intention of those around him, as if... someone is manipulating behind the scenes..."
"Has Consort Rong really returned?" The Empress's heart tightened, and she almost crushed the cup she had just picked up.
"This servant spoke carelessly, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
How would Momo Ni know if Consort Rong had returned?
But, in Prince Xuan's manor, besides Feng Ye Xuan, there indeed seemed to be another master.
"The Wuzhou Garden is now heavily guarded, and our informants cannot get in at all. This servant just has a feeling that whenever Prince Xuan leaves the manor, there seems to be another master inside the Wuzhou Garden!"
