"Xuan," said the Emperor.
The former Consort of Duke Liang hadn't returned to Pingcheng Prefecture City because upon hearing of Duke Liang's death, she fainted on the spot and remained unconscious for several days and nights, only now regaining consciousness.
"Your Majesty!"
Stumbling, the former Consort of Duke Liang lunged toward the Emperor's desk and knelt down.
The Emperor quickly stood up and walked around the desk to help her up: "Aunt of the Ninth Uncle, please get up!"
Clinging tightly to the Emperor's arm, the former Consort wept bitterly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you must seek justice for your Ninth Uncle!"
The Emperor said gravely, "Aunt of the Ninth Uncle claims to know who the murderer is. May I ask who the murderer is?"
The former Consort of Duke Liang gritted her teeth and steeled her heart: "Princess Xinyang!"
