In the hall, Siqi, with his hands tied behind his back, knelt in front of Princess Yongle, shouting grievances loudly.
"Princess, this slave has been wronged! The slaves have followed the princess and the consort for many years. We are loyal and uncompromising, and the world can learn from it. How could w do such a thing as poisoning and harming the consort? I also ask the princess to investigate it and be the judge of the slaves!"
Princess Yongle glanced at Zhao Ling with an embarrassed look on her face, obviously still not convinced that Si Qi was the servant who poisoned the consort.
This servant had been with the consort for many years, and had always been favored and trusted by the consort. Although he was a close-fitting servant, the consort had always been kind to him. Among all the serving the consort, he was the most favored. Why did he poison the consort to death? What good would it do to him if he killed the consort?
