    The junior eunuch poured the poisoned wine into her mouth without difficulty.


    The pce guard finally released her when they saw it was over.


    Empress Dowager Xiaojing wed at her neck. She could feel every organ in her body burning up and it was not long before dark-colored blood flowed down the corners of her mouth.


    Her eyes widened as she stared straight at Zhao Qian. Finally, she fell limply to the ground.


    Zhao Qjan went up to her and gave her a kick. He crouched and checked her


    breathing and pulse. Satisfied that she was no longer breathing and her heart


    had stopped beating, he next gave the order, “Empress Dowager Xiaojing has


    done many evil deeds while she was alive. She has harmed and killed many of


    the imperial family’s bloodline for her personal gains and is not worthy of


    being buried in the imperial mausoleum. However, His Majesty has taken into


    ount that she is the wife of thete Emperor and has granted special


    permission for her to be buried outside of the imperial mausoleum.”


    Soon, a eunuch came torward to wrap up Empress Dowager Xiaojing’s body to


    be taken out of the imperial holiday home.


    Zhao Qjan rubbed his hands and looked slightly perkier than before.


    If Empress Dowager Xiaojing had lived peacefully, his master would have


    tolerated her status as Empress Dowager and would continue to take care of


    her. Unfortunately, she had been greedy and was wicked enough to attempt to


    poison his master. This was just asking for death.


    In the end, things had reached this stage and she finally died without


    plications.


    Zhao Qjan was about to return to his original post when a junior eunuch came


    running in to ask, “What do we do about Matron Chen?


    Zhao Qian did not hesitate. “She has always been loyal to the Empress


    Dowager, it is only right that she continues serving her mistress.”


    The junior eunuch understood. “Tll send Matron Chen on her way then.”


    Zhao Qjan patted the junior eunuch’s head approvingly and said happily,


    “Smart.”


    The junior eunuch blushed from the praise. “I’ll handle it right now.”


    Zhao Qjan nodded, but he suddenly thought of something and said, “wWait a


    minute. Don’t kill that loyal old woman. Keep her alive. We still have use for


    her.”


    The junior eunuch could only stop what he had been about to do.


    The Grand Duke Mansion.


    Ling Lihua had just walked out of the wing room. Her mind kept reying the


    hesitant voice of Zeng Lunan. “. Yanran was still an innocent girl back then. I


    was her first man.”


    Ling Lihua stopped in her steps and a small smile appeared on her lips.


    There was no reason for Zeng Lunan to lie to her. This meant that Madam


    Zheng was the one who had lied to them.


    Lu Hetian must have been led into her room when he got drunk all those years


    ago, but he had not touched her. Madam Zheng had taken off his underwear to


    create false evidence.


    Back then, Ling Lihua did not believe that Lu Hetian betrayed her, but Zheng


    Yanran had shown her Lu Hetian’s underwear, whichpletely obliterated


    her trust in her husband.


    It was clear now that everything had happened because of Zheng Yanran’s


    scheme.


    Ling Lihua had been fooled for more than ten years and she had hated Lu


    Hetian all this time. She had never let go of her grudge even though more than


    ten years had passed.


    This had been a constant thom in her heart, and every time she was reminded


    of this over the years, she would always find herself having difficulty


    breathing. Now that the truth is out, she had never felt so rxed.


    She lifted her head to look at the sky above. She suddenly felt the sky looked


    especially clear and beautiful.


    Ling Lihua gave a gentle sigh and her steps became lighter.


    When she walked out of the courtyard, a pale-looking woman entered from


    outside and brushed against Ling Lihua


    Ling Lihua nced at her briefly before turning her gaze away as she walked


    out.


    Lu Yunshuang paused momentarily in her steps. She could not help but turn to


    examine Ling Lihua’s figure from the back.


    Was that Madam Ling?


    Quite some time ago, Lu Yunshuang had found out from Long Chi regarding


    the news of Madam Ling still being alive. Now that she could clearly see the


    resemnce between Madam Ling and Lu Liangwei, it confirmed what she


    knew.


    Lu Yunshuang felt a little ufortable at the thought of Madam Ling being


    alive.


    She was also curious as to why her grandmother would suddenly get someone


    to invite her home.


    Her grandmother must have known that she had just miscarried and had yet to


    recover from her wounds. Why did her grandmother not visit her and instead


    make her travel home?


    Did her grandmother feel that she was not wounded enough already?


    A dark look appeared in Lu Yunshuang’s eyes.


    Ling Lihua left Longevity Hall and went straiglht toward the garden.


    She wanted very much to speak to her daughter now.


    Before long, she found Lu Liangwei at a pavilion in the garden.


    However, Lu Liangwei was sitting on Long Yang’sp when Ling Lihua walked


    in.


    Lu Liangwei was taken aback when her mother suddenly appeared, but quickly


    recovered and jumped off Long Yang’sp. However, her petite face blushed at


    being caught red-handed.


    “Mother, what are you doing here?” she asked with some embarrassment.


    This was all His Majesty’s fault for making her sit on hisp. It was fortunate


    that he did not do anything more than that..
