章節 571: Chapter 571 Ridiculous that you miss your sister-in-law_1

Unlike the indifference of King Rui Residence towards the recent event, the entirety of Capital City was deeply shaken.

Lady Qi had died, even faster than Qi Yansong.

Qi Yansong had been imprisoned in the Sky Prison and was executed only after a trial.

But Lady Qi had taken her own life with a three-foot-long silk scarf as soon as the dawn broke.

With her death, the Queen lost her chance for self-defense.

No matter how much she insisted on her innocence in causing harm to Empress Xu, the Emperor chose not to believe her, demoting her and confining her to her quarters.

There was even speculation that the Emperor's decision not to banish her to the Cold Palace outright was likely out of consideration for Chu Lan.

The Emperor had just reprimanded the Qi Family the previous year and stability in the royal court had only just been re-established, making it difficult to act against King Jing at this time.
