"Chu Qi, clean up this mess!" With that, Long Yang turned on his heel and strode off without sparing the Virtuous Consort another glance.
The Virtuous Consort would never know that Long Yang had long had the idea of dissolving the harem. It was just that she was the first to bear the brunt, and she even gave him a proper excuse to get rid of her once and for all.
The next day, news of the Virtuous Consort being executed by the Emperor after her failed assassination attempt on him spread like wildfire.
Everyone was shocked.
Nobody expected that the scene of the Virtuous Consort playing the zither at the party would be their last memory of her.
Naturally, they did not believe that the Virtuous Consort would risk her life to assassinate the Emperor.
They felt that the Virtuous Consort must have been unhappy with the Emperor neglecting her for so long that she did something outrageous and angered him, which resulted in her death.
