Zhou Liangdi collapsed to the ground.

His face was ashen.

Ning Chen was furious and slammed the table, causing a lot of tea in the teacup on the table to spill out.

"Let her tell the truth."

The guards hurriedly dragged up Xiaodong, who was already as thin as a skeleton.

If you don't look carefully, you might not be able to tell Xiaodong's original appearance.

Tang Yu still looked like he had just been framed but was still in shock. When everyone's attention was focused on Xiaodong, he narrowed his eyes slightly and used his eyes to warn Xiaodong what to say and what not to say.

Xiaodong's eyes were dull and her gaze was wandering, and no one could see clearly where she was looking.

Naturally, I didn't care.

What I care more about is what she is going to say next.

Tang Yu recalled that Xiaodong was the final blow she had prepared for Zhou Liangdi after Tang Wanrou's child replacement incident.

She had absolutely no intention of keeping Zhou Liangdi.

This person has been able to hide for many years and is willing to suffer humiliation. He must not be a simple character. It would be better to keep him and only cause trouble for yourself in the future.

It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity to resolve it.

As for Xiaodong, it was purely because of her good luck. She was beaten to death, but she just fell into a coma and died suddenly. Later, she was thrown into a mass grave and actually survived.

She originally wanted to do something to Xiaodong's body to frame Zhou Liangdi, but she didn't expect that she survived.

So she brought her into the Prince's Mansion.

Xiaodong was barely able to kneel, his frail body looking like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

She recalled that after she woke up from the mass grave, she thought God had been kind to her for surviving a catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, she was taken away by a little beggar, who cured her wounds but did not allow her to eat.

He said that his master had other plans.

She thought that as long as she could survive, it would be no big deal to go hungry for a few meals.

But he was always worried about who the little beggar's master was.

Until later I met Xiaotao.

She was horrified.

Only then did they realize that the person behind this was not Zhou Liangdi, but Concubine Yu who had been hiding behind everyone.

Xiaodong's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the sound of a broken gong.

"I and Xiaochun are both Ning Zuifu's personal maids. We followed her into the Crown Prince's residence. Ning Zuifu was spoiled at home, so she doesn't understand the ways of the world even after entering the Crown Prince's residence. She is especially willing to bully Zhou Liangdi."

"Zhou Liang Di always looked easy to bully, and we servants didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just a quarrel, until later Ruochun, who was by Zhou Liang Di's side, used the fingers and eyes of our parents and brothers as well as tokens to threaten Xiaochun and me to do Zhou Liang Di's bidding."

"We dare not disobey. The order from Lady Zhou is also very strange. She asked us to encourage the Ning Zui Fu to bully her more severely, even to the point of physical violence. We don't know why, but for the sake of our family's lives, we have no choice but to do it."

"Until Concubine Yu appeared, Zhou Liangdi's orders changed. The first time, she asked us to replace the snake firefly grass in Ning Zui Fu's jade pendant. She was jealous of the Crown Princess's pregnancy, so she replaced the snake firefly grass in the jade pendant for the Crown Princess."

"And let Xiaochun come forward and admit that it was Ning the criminal who did it, and prove Ning the criminal's guilt."

"But the Crown Princess was rescued by Concubine Yu that time, so the plan failed. Later, Concubine Ning was already imprisoned, but luckily she became pregnant, and Concubine Zhou was extremely jealous."

"Once again, he ordered this servant to incite Concubine Ning to hate Concubine Yu, and poisoned Concubine Yu and the Crown Princess at the same time, wanting to get rid of several thorns in his side at the same time, and he also ordered this servant to come forward and confess his crime this time.
