Before she finished her words, Madam Zhu accused her coldly, "I only regret not killing you to avenge my daughter. You went into the palace to persuade Zhenzhen to give the emperor the Hehuan Powder, just to make the emperor punish Zhenzhen and send her to the cold palace. Fortunately, Zhenzhen did not listen to your persuasion.

You used every trick you could think of to get into the palace and marry the emperor. You even chased the funeral procession of the late emperor to the imperial mausoleum. If I had known that you were going to the imperial mausoleum to harm my daughter, I would have broken your legs when I was at home. I regret not exposing you, this vicious woman, in front of the emperor earlier."

When Zhu Yiyi saw Madam Zhu revealing these things, she quickly denied it, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I am a concubine's daughter. Madam has always hated me and my mother for being favored by my father. She wronged me and now she has drugged me to destroy my innocence. I was harmed by my stepmother. Please, Your Majesty, help me!"

Xie Shang glared at her coldly, his eyes full of disgust, "Back in Hengyang, were you the one who drugged Zhu Zhenzhen? Who did you collude with to harm your elder sister? Tell the truth."

Zhu Yiyi was shocked, but her face was ruined, her innocence was gone, and there was no point in her pretending to be pitiful.

She looked at the emperor's cold eyes and knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not seduce him.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Shang said coldly, "Lin Feng, bring the cane."

When Zhu Yiyi heard that the emperor was going to torture her, she was so scared that she told him everything. "Your Majesty, spare my life. It was not me who wanted to harm Sister Zhen. It was a woman named Qin Yunyan who found me. I was confused and believed her instigation. I am usually abused by Madam, but Madam dotes on Zhen'er in every way. I was so angry that I believed Qin Yunyan's words."

Xie Shang frowned, and Jiang Fenghua really guessed it right. He asked again, "Why did Qin Yunyan want to harm Zhu Zhenzhen with you? What is the grudge between her and Zhu Zhenzhen?"

Zhu Yiyi said, "I don't believe she will help me. She said she wants revenge because Xiao Yu cheated on her and killed her parents, so she wants Xiao Yu to have an affair with the emperor's concubine so that he will be executed. I also heard from Qin Yunyan that the person Xiao likes is the queen."

Xie Shang said coldly, "What else do you know?"

Zhu Yiyi said, "I only heard what she said, and I don't know anything else. Your Majesty, please spare me. I was really instigated by Qin Yunyan."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xie Shang's eyes.

After listening to Mrs. Zhu's accusations and hearing Zhu Yiyi admit in person that she had harmed her sister, Shang Hong did not expect that the gentle girl Yiyi, who would not even step on an ant to death, would be such a scheming woman.

He recalled what had just happened, "It turned out that someone gave me the Hehuan Powder, so I couldn't control myself." He was drugged and framed to be with Zhu Yiyi.

He went to pick up the spilled incense on the ground again, "No man in the barracks knows how to light incense, so someone lit aphrodisiac incense in the room in advance."

The emperor glanced at Nanny Liu, who served Zhu Zhenzhen.

Madam Zhu knew that Nanny Liu was seeking revenge for her daughter, so she took all the responsibility. "It was me who gave you the Hehuan powder and lit aphrodisiac incense in your barracks, because Zhu Yiyi sneaked into the palace without telling me and the master. She killed my daughter, and I want to let her have a taste of having her innocence ruined, and let everyone know that she cheated on me.

She has always wanted to seduce the emperor, and Lord Shang likes Zhu Yiyi. In fact, she will never marry Lord Shang. She only wants to marry the emperor. I am doing this to help Lord Shang and let him live with her..."

Madam Zhu went to look through Zhu Yiyi's purse again, and indeed found a small medicine bottle in her purse. She opened it and said hurriedly, "Look, Zhu Yiyi came to the palace with evil intentions towards the emperor. This bottle also contains Hehuan Powder. Even if I don't give her the medicine, she will give the emperor the medicine."

Zhu Yiyi was disheartened. She stepped forward and grabbed Madam Zhu's neck. "Because you are the eldest lady, Zhu Zhenzhen is the legitimate daughter, and I am the concubine's daughter, and my mother is the concubine, we will be bullied by you. I can't live, and your daughter can't live either. Your daughter has slept with a man. She is no longer the daughter of a rich family that you hold in your hands. She is a piece of slut. I will kill you..."

Without waiting for anyone to react, Matron Liu quickly inserted a silver hairpin into Zhu Yiyi's neck.

Zhu Yiyi's carotid artery was punctured, and blood flowed out instantly. She loosened her hand and stared at Aunt Liu's face, "You..."

Madam Liu said coldly, "You are the one who harmed the Second Young Miss. How dare you say that? Go to hell..."

Soon Zhu Yiyi was lying in a pool of blood. She looked in the direction of the emperor with her eyes wide open. She was unwilling to accept the fact that she was a concubine's daughter instead of a legitimate daughter. If she were a legitimate daughter, she would have entered the palace long ago.

Xie Shang put his hands behind his back and took a few steps back, not wanting to be contaminated by her.

He looked even more embarrassed because Zhu Yiyi had indeed been seducing him, and this time she carried the drug Hehuan Powder with her at all times. Wasn't it obvious what her purpose of entering the palace was?

Zhu Yiyi was killed by Zhu Zhenzhen's servants, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart. He even felt disgusted with this woman who overestimated her own abilities.

Here, Mrs. Zhu told everything at once and even took all the blame.

Madam Liu quickly supported Madam Zhu, her eyes red, "Madam, are you okay? The eldest lady wanted to strangle you to death, and I wanted to save you, so... Madam, I killed someone."

"She deserves to die. If you don't kill her, I will kill her." Madam Zhu held her hand and signaled her to take good care of her daughter in the palace.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Yiyi deserves to die. She wanted to kill me, so Nanny Liu killed Zhu Yiyi in a panic to save me. Your Majesty, please punish me if you want to!" Zhu Yiyi's evil deeds have been made public, and she deserves to die. Even because she is the wife of the Censor, the Emperor will not really punish her.

Xie Shang glanced at Nanny Liu and said in a cold voice, "If you don't kill her, I won't forgive her. Since she's dead, just drag her out and bury her!" He meant that he was not going to pursue the matter any further.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Zhu hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Here, Zhu Yushi was lying on the side, his eyes and mouth were crooked with anger, his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, "Bitch..."

Doctor Mei was giving acupuncture to Censor Zhu when his pulse suddenly became disordered. Doctor Mei quickly advised, "Master Zhu, please don't get excited. You must keep a good mood when you have this kind of illness."

In fact, Lord Zhu was not in a good mood. He was so angry that his eyes bulged and he kept mumbling the word "cheap". No one could understand what else he said. In short, he couldn't even finish a complete sentence.

He didn't expect that all his efforts would be in vain.

No matter how much Mrs. Zhu hated Zhu Yiyi, it was impossible for her to come up with such a perfect plan and design all this. He knew his woman's brain better than anyone else.

Nanny Liu is just a servant. How could she dare to harm the commander of the Imperial Guards?
