Sister Gu panicked. She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You don't know?" Feng Ruqing sneered, "I have the spirit herb here that can make your intestines rot. I wonder if you would like to try it?"
Hearing these words, Sister Gu's body trembled. She gritted her teeth and continued, "There is no mastermind. It is my work alone!"
Her whole family, their lives, were in the empress's hands, so she could never admit it.
The empress's face was pale, and she laughed wryly. "Princess Ruqing, look here… This is just a servant's revenge. Why would you think there is a mastermind behind it?"
Feng Ruqing sneered and looked at the empress. "The one in bed in the room is surely not your son, but I do feel that you do not care even the slightest about the real culprit. Instead, you are bent on blaming this old servant."
The empress's face changed dramatically, and she clenched her fists tightly.
