Le Zhao stepped forward, reluctantly pulling her gaze away from the Ling Zi Ling on the table, though the greed in her eyes was unmistakable.
Possessing the Ling Zi Ling meant being the supreme ruler of this harem. For this Ling Zi Ling, Ouyang Empress had waited for countless years.
"Grand Empress Dowager, Xia Huxin can now unleash poisonous snakes to take lives on Liang Family's pleasure boat; in the future, she could kill and loot in this palace's Imperial Garden. Moreover, Xia Huxin has a history of using poisonous snakes to harm others."
Le Zhao paused here, quickly glancing at Le Yi beside her.
Although Le Yi was two years younger than Le Zhao, her nature was more sinister and malicious.
"Grand Empress Dowager, some things my sister does not say, and Le Yi would have to swallow her grievances for life. But since my sister is speaking up for me today, it’s better to let Le Yi clarify things herself." As Le Yi spoke, she slowly raised her right wrist, pushing aside the Jade Bracelet she wore, revealing a snake-like scar that twisted into view.
Someone in the garden gasped, and the glee in some eyes became even more apparent. More gazes merely skimmed over Le Yi's wrist before being firmly drawn to the Ling Zi Ling on the table. In this palace, only supreme power could hold people's attention for long.
"Grand Empress Dowager, at your birthday banquet last year, Xia Huxin harbored resentment against Le Yi and my sister after a single remark made to Prince Ping. She sent a poisonous snake to bite Le Yi. Fortunately, Le Yi survived due to Consort Yu’s careful treatment and care; Consort Yu, being compassionate, advised Le Yi not to speak of that day’s events. Although Le Yi is younger than Xia Huxin, she understands the principle of mercy. However, if Le Yi continues to remain silent now, it will only invite disaster into the palace and never allow for peace. Moreover, Consort Yu also said that she would only give Xia Huxin one chance; if there were a next time, she would not spare Xia Huxin at all!"
After delivering her venomous words, Le Yi appeared both forced by circumstances and played the role of someone who was pushed by the crowd. Now that the Empress Dowager had clearly decided to eliminate Huxin, both Le Zhao and Le Yi were trying their best to curry favor with her.
If this tactic had been used against the former Xia Huxin, that foolish woman would have exploded with rage long ago. This act must be carried out by Huxin no matter what! But only she could laugh last!
Amidst the varied gazes from everyone present, Huxin pointed an accusing finger at Le Yi, tears welling in her eyes as she trembled with anger. Even if she was no longer the former Xia Huxin, she could not show too much change today! That would only solidify the Empress Dowager's resolve to eliminate her!
"Ouyang Le Yi! You slanderer! Why don’t you mention that Consort Yu gave you benefits for your silence! Isn’t the Jade Bracelet on your wrist a bribe from Consort Yu? I remember that she gave you a pair! Wasn’t the other one given to Ouyang Le Zhao? Did you give it to her?"
As soon as Huxin's words fell, Le Zhao and Le Yi both changed their expressions simultaneously.
Only Jing Tian'ao's eyes held a gloomy cold light as he cautiously looked at Huxin. But it was just a glance; he quickly returned to his usual aloof and noble demeanor.
After all, he was the favored heir of the current Emperor, and every move he made was hard to decipher.
Meanwhile, Jing Yushan lowered his gaze and remained silent, seemingly still unable to recover from the recent blow.
Le Yi's face turned pale, while Le Zhao stared at the Jade Bracelet on Le Yi's wrist, her face flushing red. The look she gave Le Yi clearly questioned her; no wonder she never took off this Jade Bracelet. It seemed that she only started wearing it a year ago, and it was given by Consort Yu! What a scheming Ouyang Le Yi!
Seeing that Le Yi and Le Zhao were silently glaring at each other, the Empress Dowager narrowed her phoenix eyes, a cold probing gaze slicing through Huxin's cheek like a knife.
"Xia Huxin! At this point, you still refuse to repent, don't you?! You have already committed numerous wrongdoings, yet you still dare to sow discord between sisters here! Everyone in this garden knows about your sordid deeds; who can't recount them? I have tolerated you for ten years; it's time to give you an unforgettable lesson for life!"
With that, the Empress Dowager slammed her right hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
