Eunuch Gui looked at Princess Consort Lian and said,
"Moreover, your maids have also confessed that the several maids who were beaten to death for stealing your jewelry were all taking the blame for Nanny Chen, and I even found several pieces of jewelry in Nanny Chen's room.
It seems that while those pieces of jewelry might not look conspicuous, they are indeed valuable, and certainly not gifts that you would have bestowed upon her, right?"
He said.
"Impossible, it's impossible."
Princess Consort Lian panicked and collapsed onto the ground.
"Your Majesty, it must have been that Nanny Chen, seeing she couldn't produce the items you demanded, and knowing she couldn't escape, thought it better to hang herself rather than be discovered by Eunuch Gui and brought to the imperial study, only to be tortured later on.
Such a person truly deserves to be hacked to pieces!"
