The junior eunuch poured the poisoned wine into her mouth without difficulty.

The palace guard finally released her when they saw it was over.

Empress Dowager Xiaojing clawed at her neck. She could feel every organ in her body burning up and it was not long before dark-colored blood flowed down the corners of her mouth.

Her eyes widened as she stared straight at Zhao Qian. Finally, she fell limply to the ground.

Zhao Qjan went up to her and gave her a kick. He crouched and checked her breathing and pulse. Satisfied that she was no longer breathing and her heart had stopped beating, he next gave the order, “Empress Dowager Xiaojing has done many evil deeds while she was alive. She has harmed and killed many of the imperial family’s bloodline for her personal gains and is not worthy of being buried in the imperial mausoleum. However, His Majesty has taken into account that she is the wife of the late Emperor and has granted special permission for her to be buried outside of the imperial mausoleum.”

Soon, a eunuch came torward to wrap up Empress Dowager Xiaojing’s body to be taken out of the imperial holiday home.

Zhao Qjan rubbed his hands and looked slightly perkier than before.

If Empress Dowager Xiaojing had lived peacefully, his master would have tolerated her status as Empress Dowager and would continue to take care of her. Unfortunately, she had been greedy and was wicked enough to attempt to poison his master. This was just asking for death.

In the end, things had reached this stage and she finally died without complications.

Zhao Qjan was about to return to his original post when a junior eunuch came running in to ask, “What do we do about Matron Chen?

Zhao Qian did not hesitate. “She has always been loyal to the Empress

Dowager, it is only right that she continues serving her mistress.”

The junior eunuch understood. “Tll send Matron Chen on her way then.”

Zhao Qjan patted the junior eunuch’s head approvingly and said happily, “Smart.”

The junior eunuch blushed from the praise. “I’ll handle it right now.”

Zhao Qjan nodded, but he suddenly thought of something and said, “wWait a minute. Don’t kill that loyal old woman. Keep her alive. We still have use for her.”

The junior eunuch could only stop what he had been about to do.

The Grand Duke Mansion.

Ling Lihua had just walked out of the wing room. Her mind kept replaying the hesitant voice of Zeng Lunan. “. Yanran was still an innocent girl back then. I was her first man.”

Ling Lihua stopped in her steps and a small smile appeared on her lips.

There was no reason for Zeng Lunan to lie to her. This meant that Madam

Zheng was the one who had lied to them.

Lu Hetian must have been led into her room when he got drunk all those years ago, but he had not touched her. Madam Zheng had taken off his underwear to create false evidence.

Back then, Ling Lihua did not believe that Lu Hetian betrayed her, but Zheng

Yanran had shown her Lu Hetian’s underwear, which completely obliterated her trust in her husband.

It was clear now that everything had happened because of Zheng Yanran’s scheme.

Ling Lihua had been fooled for more than ten years and she had hated Lu

Hetian all this time. She had never let go of her grudge even though more than ten years had pa.s.sed.

This had been a constant thom in her heart, and every time she was reminded of this over the years, she would always find herself having difficulty breathing. Now that the truth is out, she had never felt so relaxed.

She lifted her head to look at the sky above. She suddenly felt the sky looked especially clear and beautiful.

Ling Lihua gave a gentle sigh and her steps became lighter.

When she walked out of the courtyard, a pale-looking woman entered from outside and brushed against Ling Lihua

Ling Lihua glanced at her briefly before turning her gaze away as she walked out.

Lu Yunshuang paused momentarily in her steps. She could not help but turn to examine Ling Lihua’s figure from the back.

Was that Madam Ling?

Quite some time ago, Lu Yunshuang had found out from Long Chi regarding the news of Madam Ling still being alive. Now that she could clearly see the resemblance between Madam Ling and Lu Liangwei, it confirmed what she knew.

Lu Yunshuang felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of Madam Ling being alive.

She was also curious as to why her grandmother would suddenly get someone to invite her home.

Her grandmother must have known that she had just miscarried and had yet to recover from her wounds. Why did her grandmother not visit her and instead make her travel home?

Did her grandmother feel that she was not wounded enough already?

A dark look appeared in Lu Yunshuang’s eyes.

Ling Lihua left Longevity Hall and went straiglht toward the garden.

She wanted very much to speak to her daughter now.

Before long, she found Lu Liangwei at a pavilion in the garden.

However, Lu Liangwei was sitting on Long Yang’s lap when Ling Lihua walked in.

Lu Liangwei was taken aback when her mother suddenly appeared, but quickly recovered and jumped off Long Yang’s lap. However, her pet.i.te face blushed at being caught red-handed. “Mother, what are you doing here?” she asked with some embarra.s.sment.

This was all His Majesty’s fault for making her sit on his lap. It was fortunate that he did not do anything more than that..
