Xiaocheng seemed to have thrown caution to the wind.
She crawled forward several steps on her knees, kneeling right before Su Luo, and knocked her forehead to the ground three times with a loud thud. "Empress, although we are slaves from the Cining Palace and should naturally stand on the Empress Dowager's side, the Empress Dowager has always taught us to be honest!"
"That day, we indeed saw Miss Liu Yun, so we are only telling the truth. Please, Empress, have mercy!"
Su Luo said, "You've said nothing wrong, so there's no need to be fearful. If you saw it, you saw it. But just now, you mentioned a secret chamber—what's that about?"
Xiaocheng suddenly became much more articulate. "Recently, Mother Xia has been persistently questioning us about the events of New Year's Eve. She also insisted that Miss Liu Yun must have used some kind of sorcery to drug the Empress Dowager!"
