But let's get back to the story.
Since the Emperor had handed the case over to the Punishment Department, within less than three days, someone from the Punishment Department came with a report.
"Your Majesty, this servant has collected all the evidence and found that Honored Lady Du's actions were not without trace!" he stated. "Even at Honored Lady Cheng's place, there was also..."
Zhao Junyao put down the memorandum in his hand and narrowed his eyes. "Oh?" He looked at Wei Sheng indifferently. "What do you mean?"
Wei Sheng then recounted how Honored Lady Cheng had spent a significant amount of time in Consort Ning's palace on the day of her childbirth. He went into such detail that he did not even omit the fact that Honored Lady Cheng's complexion looked rather poor after she returned. Moreover, he also repeated the information about Honored Lady Du having made several visits to Jiaofang Hall a long time ago.
