"Because Imperial Concubine Ning told me." Under the gaze of the crowd, the corners of Tang Ke's heart slightly lifted as he slowly said each word, causing everyone to be completely shocked.
"You, what nonsense are you spouting?" Imperial Concubine Ming was so frightened that her face turned blue, and her body trembled. She subconsciously took a few steps away from the door, and when her eyes looked at the door, uncontrollable terror was in them. "Imperial Concubine Ning is clearly dead. How, how could she possibly tell you who was the culprit?"
In fact, even the palace maids couldn't help but be afraid. When Tang Kexin's eyes looked at Xiao Xiang, they could clearly see that her body was stiff. Her eyes were filled with obvious fear as well as uncontrollable worry.
"But heart, Imperial Concubine Ning didn't die?" Ye Lanchen also sucked in a breath of cold air in surprise. Although he hadn't checked and didn't understand medicine, Imperial Concubine Ning had indeed lost her breath just now. Moreover, it had been so long. How could she still be alive?
"…" the empress looked at Tang Kexin, her face full of shock and suspicion. She had personally checked up on Imperial Concubine Ning just now to make sure she was dead. Besides, Imperial Concubine Ning's body was already cold and stiff.
"Imperial Concubine Ning told me that the culprit was …" Tang Ke Xin didn't reply to Ye Lan Chen's question. Instead, she slowly spoke word by word, stopping her words as she spoke.
Then she saw Xiao Xiang raise her head and look directly at her, her mouth and eyes open, her eyebrows raised, her nostrils dilated, her eyes blinking uncontrollably.
All of these reactions were enough to show that she was very nervous, very afraid, very afraid.
Of course, at this moment, everyone was also looking straight at Tang Kexin. However, there was a lot of doubt and curiosity on their faces, and they weren't too nervous or afraid.
Tang Kexin was even more certain of the answer.
"That's her." Tang Kexin suddenly extended her hand and pointed at Xiao Xiang. Her gentle tone was one that no one could doubt.
Everyone took in a deep breath and looked at Xiao Xiang in unison.
"No, not a servant, not a servant. Why would Miss Tang wrongly accuse me?" Xiao Xiang's reaction was very fast. She knelt on the ground and started shouting grievances.
"What did you say? What evidence do you have?" Imperial Concubine Ming's eyes flashed, she couldn't help but open her mouth again.
"I just said it very clearly, Imperial Concubine Ning told me, is that not enough?" Tang Ke Xin looked at the imperial concubine and replied at a moderate pace.
"Imperial Concubine Ning is clearly dead, how could she possibly tell you this? If Imperial Concubine Ning is not dead yet, then why didn't she come out? You let Imperial Concubine Ning speak for herself." It was clear that Imperial Concubine Ming didn't believe Tang Kexin. After all, they had all been in the room just now and had seen Imperial Concubine Ning's death with their own eyes.
Moreover, the empress had already confirmed it at the time.
"Imperial Concubine Ning told me that before the matters with His Highness, Xiao Xiang brought a man to Peace Palace to rape her …" This time, Tang Kexin did not pay any more attention to Imperial Concubine Ming. Instead, she looked at Xiao Xiang and spoke slowly. This time, her voice was clearly colder than before.
When Tang Kexin said this, Xiao Xiang's body suddenly went limp, almost falling to the ground.
Everyone else gasped in shock.
Xiao Xiang was a palace maid by Imperial Concubine Ning's side. She actually brought a man to rape her master?
This? How was this possible?
"No, no, this servant doesn't." Xiao Xiang shook her head with all her might, but her body was trembling uncontrollably. Her eyes were wide open and filled with fear.
"Imperial Concubine Ning said that that man has a lot of strength, so he should know martial arts. Imperial Concubine Ning's body has always been unwell these days, she has always been drowsy and weak, so she doesn't have any strength to resist such a strong man. The wounds on her body were caused by that man at that time." Tang Kexin's pupils darkened as she clearly felt a cold intent. This kind of servant that harmed their master was simply too despicable.
Xiao Xiang was stupefied. Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open. Her face was filled with fear, but there was clearly a hint of disbelief. This time, she had even forgotten to refute.
Afterwards, that man brought the Fourth Prince here and gave him a medicine, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take the long-lasting medicine, so you could only give the Fourth Court the medicine that would make him lose consciousness for a short time, without leaving any evidence. After that, that man brought the Fourth Prince here and gave the medicine, and for fear that the medicine wouldn't be able to take the long-lasting medicine, you could only give the Fourth Prince a short time to remove the medicine that would make him lose his consciousness. Tang Kexin's eyes slightly narrowed, giving off a threatening aura that made others tremble. Her words seemed to become colder and colder, but her words also became more and more shocking.
"When you used the pillow to cover Imperial Concubine Ning, Imperial Concubine Ning struggled with all her might. At that time, her hand caught hold of you and something on your body. However, you discovered that after she died, you stole something from her hand." Tang Ke began to recount in more and more detail, to the point where he was able to clearly describe every detail.
"No, no, no, no, not a servant …" At this moment, Xiao Xiang's complexion had completely changed. Her face was as white as paper, without a single trace of blood. Her eyes were wide open, and it seemed as if her eyeballs were about to pop out.
She was too surprised and frightened.
Everyone was dumbstruck. Such a small detail, if it wasn't a personal manager, they definitely wouldn't know about it.
Seeing Xiao Xiang's current reaction, it was obvious that Tang Ke was thinking that it was correct, so everyone was even more bewildered.
Could it be that Imperial Concubine Ning wasn't dead yet?
At this moment, even Ye Lanjue's eyes were filled with shock and doubt. Even he was beginning to suspect that Imperial Concubine Ning was alive again.
However, since that person had made a move, how could such an opening be left? It was absolutely impossible for Imperial Concubine Ning to survive.
Then, how did this woman know all this?
"The voice that Ru Ying heard wasn't that of Imperial Concubine Ning, but of course it couldn't have been the Fourth Prince, because the Fourth Prince was still unconscious at the time. That voice was actually deliberately made by that man, and he didn't leave before Ru Ying opened the door." Tang Kexin described the details once again.
Tang Kexin's words paused for a moment before she added, "Therefore, that man knows martial arts and should have good martial arts skills. Of course, there will be a banquet in the palace today and there won't be many guards in other places, so it will be much simpler for that person to enter and leave."
The more Tang Ke thought about it, the more astonished everyone was. The more they felt, the more likely it was that Imperial Concubine Ning was still alive.
Everyone had the same thought. As the person involved, Xiao Xiang naturally had even more of the same thought. This was because what Tang Kexin had said was practically the same as what had happened before.
At that time, you purposely let Ru Ying see that scene, and Ying must have been scared silly. At that time, when she saw the scene, she screamed out loud, then you entered the room and let Qiu Qiu, who was similarly frightened, report back to the empress. At that time, Qiu Qiu was already completely scared witless, and someone made the decision, so naturally, no matter what you said, she would do it on instinct. When Tang Kexin spoke to this point, a pair of eyes condensed into an icy coldness that caused one to tremble.
This palace maid was truly poisonous. Not only did she harm her master, she even dared to harm the prince.
It was still Ye Lanchen who caused her harm. How could she let her off?
"Daring slave, you're courting death." At that moment, the Emperor was furious. He raised his foot and kicked Xiao Xiang, sending her flying several meters away. She lay on the ground, unable to move.
"Imperial Concubine Ning believes in you so much, but you're actually so afraid of her?" And he actually dares to harm the fourth prince. " The empress was so angry that her hands were shaking. Raising such a servant was too terrifying, too frightening.
"Xiao Xiang, you? How can you? How could you harm the imperial concubine? Does the imperial concubine usually treat you so well? How did you do it? " Ru Ying looked at Xiao Xiang in disbelief. She couldn't believe it, and she wasn't willing to believe that it was true.
"No, no, this servant was wronged, this servant wasn't." At this point, Xiao Xiang was still denying it.
Perhaps she felt it, but it was Tang Kexin who said so. Although Tang Kexin said it was almost the same as what happened before, she didn't believe Imperial Concubine Ning was still alive. At that time, it was she who personally moved to cover her tracks for a long time.
Moreover, when Imperial Concubine Ning was struggling, she grabbed a button on her clothes. She later discovered that it was from Imperial Concubine Ning's hands. At that time, even Imperial Concubine Ning's hands had turned stiff.
Therefore, it was impossible for Imperial Concubine Ning to live.
Although she didn't know how Tang Kexin knew so much, as long as Imperial Concubine Ning died, no one would accuse her, so she couldn't admit it.
"Hmph, it seems like you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. The pillow you used to cover Imperial Concubine Ning was hidden in the first shelf of the wardrobe." Tang Ke looked at her and sneered. She had underestimated this little girl. Her ability to bear through her own emotions and act as she pleased was not bad.
Hearing Tang Kexin's words, Xiao Xiang's body once again froze. The fear in her eyes became even deeper.
What made Xiao Xiang even more alarmed was that Tang Ke Xin looked at her and smiled, then suddenly turned to the room and said, "Imperial Concubine Ning, can I trouble you to help me take out that pillow?"
