Grace of the World: The best princess is too arrogant

Chapter 127 Peace of Mind
As expected, Empress Zhou quickly summoned Concubine Shu, Concubine Gui, Ye Hanxin and others to Fengyi Palace.

Early this morning, someone found the body of eunuch Xiao Weizi in the pond.Then Xiaohong came to surrender himself, and things were strange.

Ye Hanxin's personal girl, Xiaohong, knelt in the hall, trembling, her face full of panic, and admitted that she was the murderer who poisoned her.

"Bold maidservant, how did you collude with Xiao Weizi to murder your empress?" Li Shanggong held a whip and looked at this little girl viciously.

Xiaohong admitted that it was the poison powder sent by Xiao Weizi. She knew that Ye Han wanted to make cakes for the empress, so she deliberately wanted to murder the empress.

Empress Zhou glanced lightly at Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui beside her, and said nothing.She calmly picked up a cup of tea, lifted the lid, blew away the tea leaves on it, and took two sips.

"Why did you, a little court lady, murder your mother and commit a capital crime?" Li Shanggong asked again.

"Because..." Xiao Hong raised her head and glanced at Concubine Shu, and was immediately frightened by Concubine Shu's murderous gaze, "Because the empress once punished the servant, and the servant has a grudge."

Hearing what Xiaohong said, Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Sure enough, Han Rong's threat was effective, Han Rong found out that Xiao Hong's parents and younger brother were still alive in her hometown, and threatened her family's life.

What Concubine Shu said echoed in Xiaohong's ears: "Two choices, if you refuse to agree, then you and your family will all die, and there will be no place to die! If you are willing to sacrifice for me, then I will die for you. I promise to treat your parents and younger brother well. Remember, there are only two choices!"

Empress Zhou, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "You murdered me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else? Then I will ask you again, did you instruct you to do this!"

Concubine Shu's heart was hanging in the air again, it seemed that Empress Zhou had noticed it, and she was afraid that Xiao Hong's mouth would not be tight enough for a while.

Xiaohong didn't dare to raise her head, she just nodded her head straight. At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened, her pupils dilated infinitely, and a look of extreme pain appeared on her face, and then she fell straight down.

"Ah—" There was a burst of exclamation, and Queen Zhou and the others were also frightened.

Li Shanggong took a few steps forward, touched Xiaohong's breath: "I want to tell you, Empress, Xiaohong has committed suicide by taking poison."

Only then did Concubine Shu have a bright smile on her face, and it was more reassuring to keep her hand like this. Xiaohong was naturally charged with committing suicide in fear of crime, and she could sleep peacefully.
