“Tell me, who are you, and why are you here to harm the First Prince?” The Grand Empress Dowager stepped forward and questioned.
“I… I’m an a.s.sa.s.sin from the southwest border… who belongs to King Ning.” The palace maid smiled and replied.
“You’re framing us. That’s impossible.” Consort Ning retorted angrily.
Consort Ning knew that her husband had the intention to fight for the throne from the beginning, and he had prepared a lot.
Unfortunately, her father was loyal to the late emperor and did not cooperate.
In addition, after the Emperor ascended the throne, he did not make things difficult for him and even put him in an important position, so King Ning had long stopped thinking about seizing the throne.
How could he turn around and a.s.sa.s.sinate the First Prince at this time?
The Grand Empress Dowager and the others did not know if it was true or not, so they could only shut their mouths.
“Nothing is impossible. Which prince doesn’t have the dream of becoming an emperor?
“Right now, Great Ming and the Northern Continent are locked in a stalemate, and the Southwest is also in a stalemate. Now is the best time for King Ning to seize the throne.” The palace maid sneered.
Zhou Ying nudged Gu Wanning when she saw this. It was time for her to express her stance.
If, because of this palace maid’s few words of provocation, the country that had finally settled down ended up in a civil war, then they would really be in deep trouble.
Gu Wanning was stunned, not understanding what Zhou Ying wanted.
Zhou Ying had no choice but to speak up. “Judging from your obvious big tongue, you must be from the Western Continent.
“I have to say, you’ve done a good job of sowing discord between us, but you’ve chosen the wrong target.
“King Ning is a loyal supporter of the Emperor. Otherwise, the Emperor would not have pa.s.sed the military power of the Southwest to him.”
“Do you know what you look like right now, you clown?” Zhou Ying pinched her chin and asked.
“You…” The palace maid stared at her after hearing that.
Gu Wanning also reacted at this moment. She could not expose their flaws without knowing the other party’s ident.i.ty.
“Bring all the palace maids who live with her here.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Sun responded and walked out.
At this time, everyone also reacted and began to talk about the brotherhood between the Emperor and King Ning.
Consort Ning felt relieved after hearing this and looked at Zhou Ying gratefully. Otherwise, she would have been in big trouble.
“You know very well whether it’s true or not. There’s no need to act with me here.” The palace maid glanced at everyone provocatively.
“Whoever is pretending will be revealed soon. I know that people like you are not afraid of death, but there are still ways to deal with you.” As Zhou Ying said this, she thought of the paper and water method that Gu Chengrui mentioned.
However, after taking a glance, she knew the women here couldn’t take that.
Instead, she turned around and asked Chunxi to find some ants.
Soon, Eunuch Sun called the three people who lived with her over.
When the three of them arrived and saw the palace maid, they were honest and quickly confessed everything they knew.
About ten days ago, this spy fell ill. After waking up, she didn’t eat anymore. She became more diligent and went out early and returned late every day.
What they knew was limited.
At this moment, Eunuch Sun took out a pair of three-section undergarments and said, “This kind of undergarment is obviously not from our country. At least, it is not something of the palace.”
Although everyone looked a little embarra.s.sed, they still nodded in agreement.
Because their citizens, regardless of gender or age, wore boxers.
“You still want to keep quiet? We won’t be polite now.” When the guard saw this, he looked at the spy.
“There’s nothing to say. Please go ahead.” After the spy finished speaking, she closed her eyes and acted as if everything had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, Chunxi finally found a bag of ants. Zhou Ying asked for some honey and quickly made some small cuts on the spy’s face, neck, and arms.
Then, she smeared some honey on it and placed the ants on her wounds..
