Chapter 73
Every word uttered from her lips was heartrending and deeply moving!

Consort Zhao: "Silence, you Pei Changying! I would never let anyone down, let alone the people. For I, Consort Zhao, am innocent!"

"To save the hundreds of thousands of people in the plague-stricken city, I left the capital at night to beseech the Elder Princess to lead the Imperial Physicians to the stricken city and provide relief!"

"And this arrogant Emperor?"

"Upon learning of this, the first thing he did was to imprison me in the Cold Palace, slandering me as unchaste!"

"And because I refused to admit guilt and 'shook the loyalty of his subjects,' he vented his rage on the Zhao Family, sentencing the families of the Imperial Physicians who had gone to the plague city to prison!"

"What you know, what you have heard, is merely a tenth of the whole story. I, Consort Zhao, have never been unchaste!"

"Though I may not be as resolute and decisive as the Elder Princess, I know the meaning of the word 'shame.' Pei Changying, you threaten my entire clan to make me help whitewash your reputation among the people - dream on! You're delusional!"

"You are truly pitiful, framing my entire clan to justify imprisoning them, even going so far as to wear the green hat yourself......"

Madness, utter madness!

"Consort Zhao!!!"

Trembling with rage, Pei Changying was momentarily stunned into oblivion by her words, one by one. It took him a long while to recover from the shock!

A thunderous roar interrupted Consort Zhao's next words.

Immediately after, the ministers and the people saw the awe-inspiring Emperor, with a ferocious expression, slap Consort Zhao hard across the face.

Consort Zhao's face was instantly marked with bloody streaks, and she was struck down to the ground with great force.

Pei Changying shouted hysterically, "Lies! What she says are all lies! I am the Son of Heaven of this nation, how could I slander such a vile woman! Do you think using such methods will force me to release your clansmen?"

Below the city wall, there was sudden silence.

All the people were stunned, standing frozen in their places.

All the ministers lowered their heads, looking at Consort Zhao with utmost pity, for they were well aware that she was doomed.......

The Zhao Family was doomed as well......

Her pearls and jewelry scattered all over the ground, Consort Zhao slowly rose, leaning against the city wall.

"Hahahahaha——" Her body began to tremble more and more violently, and under Pei Changying's murderous gaze, she suddenly burst into frenzied laughter.

And then!

Consort Zhao abruptly took off her brocade robe, revealing the dense, swollen whip marks on her arms and thighs.

One by one, red and inflamed, a horrifying sight!

Upon seeing these wounds, all the people gasped in horror.

Consort Zhao suddenly stopped laughing, her icy gaze fixed on Pei Changying as she shrieked hysterically, "You say this is false?"

"My imprisonment in the Cold Palace is false?"

"Your slander of my unchastity, my daily torment, is false?"

"Pei Changying, what are you afraid of?"
