Chapter 369: Could it be that the Consort is Pregnant?
Murong Jiu was startled.
Two palace maids had died consecutively beside Consort Yun Pin?
"These two palace maids were extremely loyal to her. Gui Zhi, who was beaten to death with clubs later, had blocked the road to plead for you to save Consort Yun Pin. Soon after Consort Yun Pin recovered from the medicine you prescribed, Imperial Noble Consort Qin found an excuse, claiming she had been insolent and had her beaten with fifty heavy strikes. Normally, fifty strikes in the palace wouldn’t lead to death, but the eunuch who administered the punishment was from Consort Qin’s palace..."
She looked at Jun Yuyan with a heavy heart.
Jun Yuyan sighed, "The eunuch who administered the punishment was trained in martial arts; each strike was extremely forceful. By the time they reached thirty strikes, the person had already passed away. Yet, Imperial Noble Consort Qin still wasn’t satisfied, and eventually, the body’s spine was broken."
"How could Imperial Noble Consort Qin be so cruel to a mere palace maid!"
Murong Jiu couldn’t understand and suddenly said, "Could it be because Gui Zhi asked me to treat Consort Yun Pin?"
Jun Yuyan shook his head, "All I can say is, that’s her true nature. She always pretended otherwise; any displeasure and she wants to take lives. My spies have already reached the Western Region Royal Family, and the proof validates my suspicions. These acts of cruelty by the Princess of the Western Regions, she kills people over trifles."
The King of the Western Regions was old, and the Western Region Prince doted extremely on this sister, so of course, the Princess of the Western Regions wasn’t any gentle, kind-hearted figure who could resolve misunderstandings.
"The bloodline of the Western Region Royal Family has a nature fond of killing. The former King of the Western Regions ascended the throne by killing more than ten of his brothers."
