When Qiao Jinniang heard that someone had died in the beast area, she rushed back to the palace with Consort Qi and the others.
Xie Xiangxiang’s body was covered with a layer of white cloth. A few officials from Qingming Academy knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to deal with her impartially.
Zhou Shihui sat on a chair with grievance, as if she was also seriously injured.
Qiao Jinniang walked to Lu Chen’s side and asked softly, “Why would Xie Xiangxiang suddenly appear at the Beast Area? She doesn’t know martial arts or archery.”
Lu Chen said, “I’ve already ordered people to investigate.”
“Your Majesty, the evidence and witnesses of Princess Fu Lu’s shooting of Miss Xie are complete. I beg the Emperor to deal with it impartially!”
Zhou Qinghe also stood up and said, “Yes, your majesty. Since the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, Princess Huai Zhou Sisi was also sentenced to death for accidentally killing Tong Yingying.
