"It's just, just that this servant was once humiliated by the Second Prince, and felt unreconciled in my heart, so I wanted him to teach the Second Prince a lesson."
She knew that once it involved the assassination of the Second Prince, it could never be separated from Consort Rong. After all, she was merely a palace maid; there was not the slightest conflict of interest between her and the Second Prince.
It had to be said, Consort Rong's life was not yet at its end; the excuse Aunt Xue blurted out in her panic actually matched Commander Zhu's words.
Hearing her say this, His Majesty almost believed Aunt Xue's story.
However, he still had a doubt in his heart. "Then why did you have Commander Zhu throw the sachet near the Second Prince's bedchamber?"
