In the pitch-black night, the voices of the maids carried far and clear.
For a moment, it startled everyone inside the Royal Palace.
...
The next morning.
In the chambers of the Empress Dowager.
A corpse lay on the ground, Princess Consort Luo's eyes wide open, not closing even in death.
The Empress Dowager glanced over and immediately waved her hand, signaling for a white cloth to cover it.
Jing Zhen sat with a pallor of iron by the side of the Empress Dowager, while Shen Bijun supported Shen Qianhui, sitting next to Jing Zhen.
Chaotic footsteps approached, and Consort Yan rushed in frantically, "Mother, as soon as I opened the door to the palace today, I heard that something had happened to Princess Consort Luo? What happened to her?..."
Consort Yan's words stopped as she caught sight of Princess Consort Luo lying on the ground, she startled back with an exclamation and then clutched at her chest, "How, how could this have happened?"
