The statement was astonishing.
Emperor Mu's face turned terrifyingly dark as he said, "Speak in detail."
This palace maid was Yang's personal maid, named Caizhu.
Since Yang became pregnant, Emperor Mu had bestowed many rewards upon her.
Unexpectedly, she would betray her gratitude and make a move against Yang!
Caizhu prostrated herself on the ground, her voice trembling, "This servant did not wish to do so. It's just that my elderly mother was taken hostage. If I didn't comply, my mother would be killed."
Ye Siheng sneered, "So now that you've spoken voluntarily, you're still going to be responsible for your mother's death."
Caizhu continued, "Therefore, I implore Your Majesty and the Ninth Prince to spare my mother's life and forgive this servant. I am willing to offer my life in atonement."
In an instant, the expressions of everyone changed, and they all looked towards the Empress.
