The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback-Chapter 1059 - 1061: The Truth

The Death Soldier lowered his head and said, "I have evidence."

The voice was not loud, but clear enough for many to hear.

The Emperor had already lost hope in his heart, and upon hearing these words, he heavily closed his eyes.

The Death Soldier said, "In the Second Princess’s boudoir, there is a vase beside the bed, which is a mechanism that can be twisted open to reveal a secret chamber."

Mo Shu squinted his eyes slightly.

The Death Soldier continued, "That secret chamber holds many secrets, Your Majesty can send someone to investigate."

Mo Qing shouted sharply, "You’re talking nonsense, you, you ungrateful wretch, you scoundrel, you’ll get your comeuppance!"

The Emperor quickly dispatched people to investigate.

He also had Hong Xing brought over.

Not knowing anything, Hong Xing, after being intimidated, knelt on the ground, trembling, and confessed everything:

"That day, the Second Princess ordered Chen You the guard, to bribe the nanny close to the Princess, and the nanny poisoned the Eldest Princess’s drink. The poison was acquired from the brothel in the common folk, a vile concoction. After the Eldest Princess drank it, she indeed acted very strangely..."

As Hong Xing spoke, she trembled, not daring to raise her head.

A little maid like her couldn’t possibly see Mo Qing’s warning gaze, or the Empress’s ashen face.

Hong Xing continued in a trembling voice, "Therefore, the Second Princess, as originally planned, had the nanny lead the Eldest Princess to a room prepared in advance, intending... intending... to have some thugs from outside the palace defile the Eldest Princess."

The more the Emperor listened, the grimmer his face became.

Hong Xing’s voice choked, "But, the Eldest Princess did not stay in that room. By the time your servant led those people to the Eldest Princess’s room, she was already gone. The Eldest Princess is highly skilled in martial arts; she seemed to have jumped out the window on the second floor, and then, someone saw her go to the guest house where the foreign state’s attendants were being entertained..."

Mo Shu’s expression darkened, "The guest house of the foreign attendants?"

Hong Xing trembled and cautiously said, "Yes... yes, your servant was very frightened at the time and did not investigate further, just went back to confess to the Second Princess. As expected, the Second Princess flew into a rage but did not punish the servants. About a month later, the Second Princess bribed Doctor Sun who visited you for a routine health check to tell her if you were pregnant. As expected, the Eldest Princess was indeed pregnant..."

"Insolent!" the Emperor roared with rage, hurling his wine cup at the servant, "A month and yet you did not report! Who is this Doctor Sun? Bring him here immediately!"

Hong Xing wailed, shaking, "Because... the Second Princess, the Second Princess wanted to leave the Eldest Princess beyond redemption. At a month it could still be dealt with, but waiting until the pregnancy was visible and then miscarrying would endanger her life, thus... it was only discovered by the Eldest Princess herself around four or five months, by which time it was too late..."

Mo Qing’s mouth had already been covered by someone, and upon hearing these words, all that remained in his heart was fear.

The Empress also knelt on the floor, entirely helpless. Facing the Emperor’s cold gaze, she wept and said, "What a terrible thing! Your Majesty, it’s my failure to properly raise my daughter, it’s my incompetence..."

The Empress’s voice was high and full of grief-stricken remorse, "Qing’er always appeared obedient and sensible, well-versed in culture and etiquette before me, yet I never imagined she would do such a disgraceful act. Please, Your Majesty, administer punishment!"
