Princess Huaichang cried loudly: "The Queen Mother, please save me. My son is resting here. He ran out for no reason and wanted to kill me..."
Empress Dowager Shen inquired: "So, you don't know why he wanted to assassinate you?"
Princess Huaichang originally wanted to throw the basin of sewage into the Priest's Palace, but after thinking about it, she still didn't dare, so she shook her head desperately.
Empress Dowager Shen pointed at the eunuch who was about to kill her and ordered: "Beat him until he confesses!"
A palace servant picked up the wooden sign on the bed and handed it over: "Your Majesty, please look at this."
Queen Mother Shen squinted at the wooden sign and asked Huaichang: "Do you know this?"
Princess Huaichang was about to deny it when she heard the eunuch let out a shrill and terrifying scream. The scream was so loud that it scared her to death.
"I, I don't know..." She licked her lips and subconsciously denied it.
Empress Dowager Shen didn't say anything, she just sat down and watched the execution coldly.
Princess Huaichang saw that the eunuch who was arrogant just now and wanted to kill her gradually became a bloody mess. She felt the same, her whole body was trembling, and she said with difficulty:
"The Queen Mother, my mother-in-law just passed away. It's not good to disturb her. Why don't we let them take him down."
Empress Dowager Shen stared at her with burning eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? What your mother-in-law cares about the most is you. Let her see what will happen to those who want to harm you, so that she can rest assured."
Princess Huaichang was speechless. She wanted to hide away, but was also afraid that the eunuch would say something he shouldn't have said if she wasn't there.
While he was struggling in every possible way, he heard the eunuch scream: "I'm going to attack, I'm going to attack, stop, I'm going to attack!"
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she could hardly sit still.
The bloody eunuch's eyes flashed with determination, and he pointed at her with the last bit of his strength and said: "She ordered the villain to poison the concubine. She wanted to kill the villain to silence him, but the villain had to fight back. She Just say it was an assassination."
Sure enough! The organization still has the same temperament, and will kill anyone it wants!
What should she do?
Facing Empress Dowager Shen's doubtful eyes, Princess Huaichang said desperately: "I didn't, he was so slanderous! It's inexplicable why I would attack my own mother-in-law? Is she still a human being?"
The eunuch hissed and sneered: "Who knows? Maybe it's because Her Highness the Princess doesn't want to be with the Consort? Or maybe it's because the Concubine knows about Her Highness the Princess's shameful things?"
All the blood rushed to Princess Huaichang's head and suddenly turned into ice, freezing her whole body and making her feel at a loss.
There are a lot of shameful things about her. Even without mentioning her identity, just the exposure of those things would be enough to kill her several times.
She finally understood that she was facing a dead end today.
The organization wanted her to die, but it would not stop until it saw human life.
As long as he surrenders to Empress Dowager Shen and performs meritorious service, he may be able to gain some hope of survival.
Her body instinctively made a choice, and she knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Shen, with tears streaming down her face: "Empress Dowager, please spare my life, Empress Dowager, save me, I say everything..."
Empress Dowager Shen was really relieved at this point.
It was Mu Yunhan's counter-intuitive plan that cut off Huaichang's hope before she was willing to tell the truth. Otherwise, if she had to force herself, she would not know how long it would take to open her mouth.
"Take the assassin down and continue the interrogation. Don't disturb Concubine Zhou."
Empress Shen didn't reveal anything on her face, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Say it, Huaichang."
