*Consort Hall*
The consort gritted her teeth against Ming Huiqing, "Stop sprouting lies! A search was carried out and the poison was found in your belongings."
"Crown Prince, how could I have poisoned myself? What would I gain from doing that?" Ming Huiqing purposefully directed all her questions to Prince Caishen, acting to incite him.
"Furthermore, when the maids were interrogated, didn't two say that they saw Tingting place something in the teapot?" She went on to say.
"You-!" The consort glared at her, angered that she still dared to place the blame on her goddaughter.
"What? They were witnesses?" The crown prince asked, exchanging glances with Chan Zian, who was equally stunned.
The consort parted her lips to answer, but Ming Huiqing beat her to it. "Yes your highness."
"What happened to them?" He interrogated, "The consort refused to listen to them, she accused them of being corrupt and had them sent away. Please, carry out justice for me." She pleaded.
