"This concubine remembers that the Crown Princess Consort slapped this concubine twenty-six times." Compared to Gao Jingyi's panic, Ye Qichi was much more calm and composed, "If I remember correctly, it should have been that palace maid who slapped your daughter-in-law's mouth."
Ye Qichi pointed to a palace maid beside Gao Jingyi.
The palace maid was trembling with fear, hastily kneeling on the ground, daring not to speak.
"At that time, I saw that the palace maid's hand was swollen from the slapping." Ye Qichi deliberately said.
"Show me your hand!" Xiao Zhanping commanded the palace maid.
The palace maid extended her hand with trepidation.
Comparing both hands, one was clearly much more swollen and red.
"Is this what you call a minor punishment?!" Xiao Zhanping asked Gao Jingyi.
Gao Jingyi was so frightened that she was about to faint.
She truly did not know how to defend herself and could only seek help from Qingyuan.
Yu Qingyuan directly avoided Gao Jingyi's gaze.
