Rong Jin frowned. "Erm… I'm not sure either. I've never heard Mother mention anything about Heptagon Alley. It was also my first time there that day."
He had also never heard of that bronze vat with the hundreds of corpses before.
Situ Xingchen was curious. Unrelenting, she asked, "If this is Her Majesty's doing, she must've done it for you, Your Highness."
"I said I don't know!" Rong Jin retorted. "Besides, Mother is just another high-born woman in the palace. There's no way she's capable of doing something like this."
He could tell that those bones belonged to cultivators. Some of them even came from highly skilled cultivators.
His mother had stayed in the palace all these years. With her skills alone, it was impossible for her to do anything on her own.
In Rong Jin's opinion, Rong Jiu and the others must've framed her.
