The Female Psychology PHD Got Time Travelled To The Royal Harem

Chapter 52

"There is more than one person in this palace who uses false personas to hide their true nature."

Jiang Xinyue replied to her, "Concubine Su is the daughter of the Director of the Gate Office from the Ministry of Punishment, a place infamous for devouring people without leaving a bone behind. Do you think someone born into such a household would be such a timid soul?"

More importantly, Jiang Xinyue had visited an experimental center in the 21st century, where the researchers dissected small animals cleanly and precisely, with neat and orderly incisions that showed the skilled hands of veterans.

On that day when the Xuanwu Emperor stopped her from seeing Little Ai Jiang's body, she insisted on seeing it, and it was her insistence that made her instantly identify the culprit – Concubine Su, from a family of interrogators at the Ministry of Punishment.

She studied psychology and had encountered all kinds of people with mental issues.

Generally, when people reach the peak of fear, they would feel dizzy, nauseous, have chest tightness and difficulty breathing, or even feel like vomiting. In more extreme cases, they might experience suffocation.

If the anxious emotions were not relieved, it could also trigger certain physical actions and behaviors, such as trembling voice, restlessness, inability to calm down, and overall anxiety.

However, Concubine Su exhibited none of these signs.

Her fear was only superficial, with no trace of fear in her eyes. When she looked at Little Ai Jiang's body, her trembling didn't seem like fear, but rather... excitement.

Jiang Xinyue was almost certain that she was a deviant who enjoyed torturing small animals.

Xi Que looked at her master with some concern, "But if Concubine Su is so terrifying, why did you let her know that you were the one who framed her?"

The room fell silent, with only the conversation between master and servant, and the howling winds outside. After a long silence, during which Xi Que thought Jiang Xinyue had fallen asleep, a voice like a dream murmur said, "Because I want to avenge Little Ai Jiang."

Everyone thought she had turned the page, but only she knew... No, she hadn't.

She couldn't be considered a dog lover, but she couldn't accept her pet being so cruelly killed while in her care.

The person who killed Little Ai Jiang must pay the price.

No!

To put it more broadly, she wanted revenge for all the small animals that died at Concubine Su's hands.

In Yanqing Palace—

Concubine Su lay in the Xuanwu Emperor's embrace, "Your Majesty, do you believe your concubine now?"

Outside, Fang Rumeng, a ninth-rank female official from the Weaving Bureau, knelt shivering in the cold on the long corridor.

Jiang Xinyue was right – nothing ventured, nothing gained. She had been suppressed in the Weaving Bureau, unable to fully showcase her exquisite skills. It would be better to change jobs to the Bureau of Palace Affairs.

The bargaining chip Concubine Su used to persuade her to testify was that she had connections in the Bureau of Palace Affairs, which could secure Fang Rumeng a position as a female historian in the Garment Department.

There were four female historians in the Garment Department, and if she found the right patron, she could be promoted to Chief Wardrobe Manager in no time, allowing her to fully display her talents.
