Kapitel 903: 903

This led to a rather troublesome situation. Although Jiang Ning and Li Hongyuan were well aware that Concubine Jin was victimized by the Empress, they didn't have any proof.

Jiang Ruobai might have discussed the matter privately with the Emperor. As for what the Emperor thought, it was unknown.

Anyway, he only seemed profoundly distressed. Apart from growing increasingly cold towards the Empress, he made no attempt to punish her.

Jiang Ning was troubled by this. She could not come to terms with the brutal and abrupt death of Concubine Jin.

As she looked at the young palace maid, Shuihua, she felt a sudden wave of depression.

The feeling of being unable to punish the perpetrator was incredibly frustrating.

She never believed in the saying that "a gentleman takes his revenge ten years later."

Revenge should be swift. Otherwise, how does one account for the mental toll over those ten years?
