Chapter 712: After 712 Backyard Intrigues
She had just taken control of the Royal Residence and was at the height of her power.
Moreover, her maternal family had already received the news that all of the Liu Family’s property had been seized for the state treasury; the Liu Family was finished, and the Princess Consort, even without further effort, was absolutely unlikely to make a comeback.
How could she possibly do something so foolish as to poison the Princess Consort at this time? Did she need to?
Prince Jing leisurely drank his tea, listening to the two women bicker and shove blame at each other here.
After a moment, he finally lost his patience, "Lady Bai, you must see clearly, this girl is your personal maidservant, who loudly claims she followed your orders to poison the Princess Consort!"
Prince Jing’s tone was grave, and seeing such a terrifying side of Prince Jing for the first time, Lady Bai felt her heart skip a beat.
Just at this time, her own maidservant stubbornly accused her directly, truly leaving her unable to clear her name even with ten mouths.
Lady Bai continued to cry injustice, and seeing that Prince Jing had already ordered someone to seize her, she suddenly rushed toward the bound maidservant like a madwoman, hitting and cursing her, "You bitch dare to slander me? Have you forgotten who gave you the silver coins to treat your mother’s illness, or who arranged work for your brother? Today, I shall act as heaven and kill you, a treacherous bitch who betrays her own master..."
Prince Jing’s hand paused with his tea cup, and he instructed someone behind him, "Go, bring this girl’s mother and brother here."
After one person left, Prince Jing, annoyed, watched the frantic Lady Bai, and then commanded, "Pull this woman away and lock her up to the side for now."
"Yes." Facing a guard skilled in martial arts, Lady Bai, a woman incapable of binding a chicken, naturally had no chance of resistance.
After Lady Bai was taken away, Prince Jing then stood up, his gaze angrily cold as he looked at the maidservant covered in blood and tightly bound, "I’m giving you one more chance. You’d better tell who instructed you, otherwise, think about your mother and your brother."
