The Empress Dowager swallowed back the words she wanted to say. "Since the person was found, then let her come in to speak. The truth of the matter should always be investigated. We must not let people throw the chambers of imperial concubines into disarray."

The palace maid looked up and suddenly shivered with cold. She cried and threw herself at Shen Yunya, saying, "Miss Shen, you must save me. You said you will keep me safe and sound."
Yuan Fangfei raised her hand to push away the palace maid who pounced over. She said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Our family's Ya'er did nothing. You are framing her. Watch out for your own life."
