?Chapter 1181: 573 Water recedes and rocks emerge (Part 2) Chapter 1181: 573 Water recedes and rocks emerge (Part 2) Long Yi took the Crown Prince to a deserted place and spanked him, not harshly, but enough to give him a taste of his own medicine.
After returning to Kunning Palace, the Empress Xiao sent for Xiao Hen to be brought into the palace.
As an outsider male, it was inconvenient for Xiao Hen to enter Kunning Palace, so Empress Xiao met with him in a side hall of the Huaqing Palace.
Ever since she left Jinluan Hall, Empress Xiao’s mind had been filled with doubts.
From the moment Xiao Hen received the summons, he knew that the truth couldn’t be concealed forever. Some things were bound to surface sooner or later, and at this stage, there was no longer any need to hide anything from Empress Xiao.
Xiao Hen first reported all of the deeds of the late Empress Jing, including things that Princess Xinyang hadn’t mentioned, such as the fact that she was put to death by the Emperor.
During the hour that Empress Xiao waited for Xiao Hen, she had already managed to calm herself. Now, hearing that the Emperor had actually put to death the once most revered Empress Jing, she felt surprisingly little turmoil within.
She felt only a sense of lament.
They say that the imperial family is heartless, but Empress Xiao understood the Emperor to be a man of deep feelings. The Crown Prince perfectly inherited his sentimentality, which was why he had fallen so deeply for Wo Linlang.
“Then what about Princess Ning An? What’s her story?”
Compared to the already resolved matter of Empress Jing, Empress Xiao was more concerned about this living Royal Princess. “Ning An… she truly wanted to harm Xinyang?”
Xiao Hen shook his head, “No, that’s not it.”
Princess Ning An was back for revenge, but her target was not Princess Xinyang.
The Emperor, the imperial aunt, Gu Jiao, and the Gu Family… they were her true targets for revenge. In Ning An’s eyes, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had caused the death of Empress Jing, while Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing were responsible for the death of the heir’s husband.
Empress Xiao frowned, “What does this have to do with the Gu girl?” She could understand the involvement of the other three, but wasn’t the heir’s husband killed by Gu Changqing?
Xiao Hen explained, “When we were at the frontier, remnants from the previous dynasty brought plague victims to try to poison the Gu army. Jiaojiao got infected while treating one of them without being aware. She fainted during an operation and was taken back by the heir’s husband, who then became infected. Jiaojiao didn’t give him the medicine.”
