Shen Yinshuang's hands were stained with blood, and even her dress was covered in Cheng Ping's blood.

It was shocking.

The dagger lay in the pool of blood to the side.

"Ah!" Fenxiang screamed.

She rushed towards Cheng Ping, shouting, "Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!"

Someone hurriedly ran out.

The Imperial Guards immediately took Shen Yinshuang into custody.

Burning incense soon discovered that Princess Chengping was dead.

Her face turned deathly pale, and she pointed at Shen Ying Shuang: "It was you! You killed the princess!"

"I didn't..." Shen Yinshuang cried out in panic.

Burning incense had already stood up, his fingertips trembling.

In front of the Imperial Guards, she walked step by step toward Shen Yingshuang.

"You seduced the prince consort and provoked the princess. You even sent the princess a letter filled with vulgarities, saying that the prince consort had asked you to meet him here, forcing the princess to come here."

"The princess is proud and arrogant, and she couldn't bear such humiliation, so she came."

"And you stay here, ready to kill the princess when she comes!"

Burning incense, he almost trembled as he finished speaking.

They gave Shen Yinshuang absolutely no chance of survival.

Shen Yinshuang stared at Fenxiang in astonishment: "You...you're spreading rumors, I didn't."

"I arrived here just a step before you." Shen Yinshuang's voice trembled.

"You're talking nonsense!" Fenxiang cried, accusing Shen Yinshuang with grief and indignation. "What a coincidence! Besides, the letter you wrote to the princess is still in her palace. The evidence is conclusive. I want to see how you explain this to the Emperor and Empress Dowager!"

The sound of burning incense became shrill.

The disturbance at the cabin quickly attracted attention.

The commander of the Imperial Guards made a decisive decision: "Take Shen Yingshuang away for questioning!"

"Yes!" The guard replied without hesitation.

Before Shen Yinshuang could even react, she was already tied up and forced to walk out of the cabin.

Shen Yinshuang's face was extremely pale.

The imperial physician arrived immediately.

The Emperor, Empress Dowager, Consort De, and Empress have all rushed to the scene.

There was also Consort Shu, the mother of Princess Chengping.

When Consort Shu saw Chengping, she instantly broke down.

"What on earth is going on? Who dared to poison my princess in the palace!" Consort Shu's voice was filled with anguish.

As Consort Shu spoke, she collapsed to the ground, and the servants immediately rushed over to her.

The emperor's face turned ashen.

Consort De frowned, probably unable to believe what she was seeing.

Upon witnessing such cruelty and bloodshed, the Empress Dowager turned pale and swayed.

"Your Majesty, you must seek justice for the princess! It was her, she killed the princess!" Fenxiang tearfully testified against Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang was forced to kneel on the ground.

All eyes turned to Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang was speechless and unable to defend herself.

Burning incense had already recounted what he had seen, embellishing the story.

The commander of the Imperial Guards, who was standing nearby, also confirmed that what Fenxiang said was true.

"Your Majesty, I can confirm that what Miss Fenxiang said is true. When I came in, I saw Shen Yingshuang and the princess together. At that time, the princess was already..." The commander of the Imperial Guards couldn't finish his sentence before he lowered his head.

Burning incense and crying out, she continued to accuse Shen Yinshuang.

"Your Majesty, you must do justice for the princess. Everyone knows that Shen Yingshuang and the princess have a grudge. After all, she was once Marquis Pei's divorced wife, and she has been harboring resentment and harassing the princess ever since."

"Wasn't it the same before? She was thrown into the dungeon to reflect on her actions. If it weren't for Miss Cui pleading for her, how could she have gotten out? And then..."

Burning incense, he spoke with tears streaming down his face.

Without thinking, Consort Shu rushed forward and slapped Shen Yinshuang hard across the face.

"I will make you pay with your life." Consort Shu looked at Shen Yinshuang with a gloomy expression, speaking each word clearly.

"Your Highness, please calm down." A servant beside her helped the distraught Consort Shu up.

The Empress Dowager's hands trembled as she exclaimed, "Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"

Consort De remained silent.

Because she knew very well that if she said anything more now, it might bring Shen Yinshuang a fatal disaster.

The imperial physician stepped forward and shook his head: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please accept my condolences."

The imperial physician sighed, "It was a stab wound to the chest that caused the death. The princess was likely drugged, which is why she was unable to resist. There's still a lingering scent of muscle-relaxing powder in the room; incense was burned earlier."

The imperial physician reconstructed the cause of Chengping's death.

All the evidence points to Shen Yinshuang.

"Guards, drag Shen Yinshuang away and execute her after the sacrificial ceremony!" the Emperor commanded grimly, each word distinct and clear.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent..." Shen Yinshuang was stunned.

She struggled as she was dragged away.

The Emperor didn't even glance at Shen Yinshuang; the sorrow in his eyes was obvious.

Chengping was the emperor's most beloved princess.

Now that they have ended up in such a state, how could the Emperor accept it?

"Bring Pei Shou'an to me immediately! This matter is also related to the Pei family!" The Emperor's tone was one of fury.

Shen Yinshuang had no chance to defend herself.

The person had already been dragged out.

The sacrificial ceremony will be held in seven days.

Her face was deathly pale.

As Shen Yinshuang was being dragged out, she saw that Nangong Zhao and Xiao Yin had also rushed over.

The two men looked serious.

The moment he saw that Xiao Yin was safe and sound.

Shen Yinshuang understood.

This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy aimed at me.

Almost the instant Shen Yinshuang looked at Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin's gaze fell upon Shen Yinshuang.

His brows were furrowed.

But there was a hint of reassurance in his eyes as he looked at Shen Yinshuang.

Xiao Yin remained silent throughout the entire process.

Nangong Zhao and Xiao Yin exchanged a glance.

Princess Chengping has been covered with a white sheet and carried out.

The two of them stopped walking.

When the Emperor came out, Xiao Yin was about to step forward to ask him questions.

But Nangong Zhao stopped her.

Consort De's gaze fell on Xiao Yin, and she slowly shook her head.

Then Consort De quietly followed beside the Emperor.

Consort Shu had cried until she fainted.

The Empress Dowager, supported by her maid, had a solemn expression and looked at Shen Yinshuang with cruelty and disgust in her eyes.

Xiao Yin didn't even have a chance to greet them until the group left; he just stood there.

Without a second thought, he turned and headed toward the dungeon.

Nangong Zhao quickly pulled Xiao Yin back: "Calm down first. This matter will naturally go to the Ministry of Justice. I'll handle it."

Xiao Yin looked at Nangong Zhao.

"All the evidence is against Shen Yinshuang. If you act impulsively again, you'll drag yourself into it. This whole thing is too strange from beginning to end. I think Shen Yinshuang is probably just a pawn." Nangong Zhao said calmly.

Bystanders clear, the authorities are fascinated.

Shen Yinshuang held a lowly position in the palace, making it all too easy for her to be disposed of silently.

Why involve such a big matter?

Given Princess Chengping's status, how could Shen Yinshuang possibly meet her so easily?

Also, how come all the bodyguards who followed Princess Chengping disappeared overnight?

Even if Princess Chengping and Shen Yinshuang did meet face to face...

Shen Yinshuang was no match for Princess Chengping.

Nangong Zhao calmly reviewed everything.
