Chapter 1178 - 1172: Let’s Take a Look
"Ah, let go of me..." Consort Zhang, with her mouth and face covered in blood from being beaten, continued to be hit by Nurse Li as the Empress did not order to stop.
Consort Zhang forcefully pushed Nurse Li away and shouted: "You can’t treat me like this, I am the most beloved Miss of the Zhang Family. Do you want to break ties with the Zhang Family?"
Seeing her still defiant, the Empress became even angrier.
She commanded Nurse Li to stop and furiously said: "Zhang Family? Hmph, you dare to mention the Zhang Family to me? I tell you, because of you, the Zhang Family is also ruined. When the time comes for a thousand cuts, rest assured, the Zhang Family will accompany you."
"You... you dare to go against the Zhang Family? Without the support of the Zhang Family, the Ducal Residence is like a bird with a broken wing."
"You still dare to threaten me? It seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin. Take her down, hand her over to the Ministry of Punishment’s Prison. I will report to the Emperor to rigorously investigate the poisoning incident."
The Ministry of Justice, once handed over, it’s no longer a family matter, plotting against the Prince, that is a matter of the state.
Only then did Consort Zhang begin to feel afraid, but the Empress was in a rage, harboring the intention to kill the entire Zhang family, how could she care about a mere Consort Zhang.
"This... might not be appropriate, we could just handle this matter discreetly," Nurse Li anxiously said.
The Empress glanced coldly and said: "I understand your concerns, Nurse, but now the Zhang Family has become lawless. If we do not take this opportunity to suppress their arrogance, they will sooner or later climb on top of my head. You don’t need to worry about this matter. I will explain it to my grandfather myself."
Nurse Li still hesitated, but since the Empress has spoken, she had nothing more to say.
She said: "Alright then, Your Majesty is wise, I will listen to you."
Nurse Li took Consort Zhang out, leaving only the Empress and King Jin in the grand hall.
