The two of them were in a mess.

"What's a good idea?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked hurriedly while holding the child.

Du Wanchun said slowly: "Since Liu Xiangxiang cares so much about her sister, why don't we start with her sister."

Zhou Ruiyuan half understood.

Then Du Wanchun whispered in his ear: "Liu Xiangxiang is afraid of that man because she is afraid of implicating her sister. If she knew that her sister had been implicated, she probably wouldn't care so much."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll talk to County Magistrate Li."

He finished speaking, turned around and walked out of the house holding the child.

After hearing Zhou Ruiyuan's words, County Magistrate Li felt that they made a lot of sense. "Well, I'll give it a try tonight."

Zhou Ruiyuan bowed to him and said, "Thank you, sir."

County Magistrate Li was flattered, "No, no."

After the two chatted about some details, County Magistrate Li hurried to the mansion.

At night, the Li Mansion became unusually quiet.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Xiangxiang lived in the same room.

Both of them were asleep. After an unknown period of time, Liu Xiangxiang suddenly heard footsteps outside the house.

She sat up quickly and looked around.

Perhaps because she had spent too many days on the run, her spirit became tense easily.

"Who? Who is it?"

She slowly got out of bed and came to the window, carefully opened the window and looked out.

There was no one in the dark yard outside.

Liu Xiangxiang thought she had heard it, so she turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.

Just then, the window was suddenly pushed open, and a man in black jumped in.

Liu Xiangxiang suddenly fell to the ground in shock.

"Who are you?!"

Liu Xiangxiang screamed loudly.

"Come here, assassin! There is an assassin!"

The man in black pointed at her with a long sword in his hand and said, "If you scream again, I will kill your sister!"

Liu Xiangxiang looked at her sister behind her and immediately covered her mouth.

At this time, Madam Liu also woke up, rubbed her eyes and asked Liu Xiangxiang, "Sister, what happened?"

The man in black pointed at Madam Liu with a long sword.

Madam Liu was startled and quickly closed her mouth without saying anything.

Liu Xiangxiang was panicked, kneeling on the ground, and said to the man in black: "Who are you?!"

The man in black deliberately kept it a secret and said: "Don't you know who I am? You know who you have offended best!"

Liu Xiangxiang was shocked, her body trembling desperately, and she hurriedly said: "You can kill me, but let my sister go, my sister doesn't know anything!"

The man in black snorted coldly and said: "You two live together, does she really not know anything?"

Liu Xiangxiang cried with red tears: "She really doesn't know, just let her go!"

The man in black laughed and said: "Do you think I believe what you said? Anyway, you are here today, she is your sister, whether she knows or not, you must die!"

As he spoke, he raised the long sword in his hand and prepared to stab Liu Niangzi.

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open, and County Magistrate Li rushed in with a big knife, "Who is it?! Who is it?!"

The man in black heard the voice and turned around and left here.

Magistrate Li ran to Madam Liu and helped her up, "Madam, are you okay?"

Madam Liu shook her head and immediately looked at Liu Xiangxiang, "Sister, how are you?"

Liu Xiangxiang was trembling with panic, and it took her a long time to recover, "I... I'm fine..."

Madam Li hurriedly asked her, "Madam Liu, who did you offend? Why did they come here?"

Madam Liu also asked, "Yes, sister, isn't Concubine Wu in the cold palace now? Why would they send someone to kill you?"

Liu Xiangxiang's eyes were dull and she was a little confused.

Madam Liu continued, "Sister, if you treat me as your own sister, tell me. You saw it just now. Even if I don't know anything, those people will still kill me."

Liu Xiangxiang was startled, looked at Liu Xiangxiang, and cried with red eyes, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to hurt you, I am also forced to do it."

Madam Liu comforted her and said, "Sister, just tell me the truth."

Liu Xiangxiang choked and couldn't hold it back any longer. She said, "When the Queen was framed and sent to the cold palace, in addition to Concubine Wu's arrangement, there was another person. She asked me to tamper with Concubine Wu's food, so Concubine Wu had a miscarriage."

"So Concubine Wu didn't have a miscarriage because of her poor health, but because of something she really ate.

's miscarriage?" Magistrate Li asked hurriedly.

Liu Xiangxiang nodded, "Yes."

Magistrate Li then asked: "Who is that person?"

Liu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth and said slowly: "It's the Concubine Dowager."

"Concubine Dowager?!" Magistrate Li was surprised.

When the emperor ascended the throne, he had already dismissed all the concubines of the previous emperor, and only the youngest Concubine Dowager Yu remained in the palace.

Concubine Dowager Yu entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and the previous emperor died within a year of entering the palace.

She was only seventeen years old when the new emperor ascended the throne.
