Buried With Honors of a Noble Consort

Wendy Zhu, losing control, shouted, "It was her! It had to be her! Isn’t she a Spiritual Alchemist? She must’ve drugged Cindy!"

"Your Majesty, let Grace go!" Minister Zhuo said urgently.

However, Colin Gu still insisted, "Go summon a Spiritual Alchemist!"

Grace suddenly flashed a mischievous smile, then turned her gaze away, her eyes sparkling with secrets.

From Colin Gu's gaze, Grace could tell he knew she wasn't the one who pushed.

But he still refused to let her in.

"Your Majesty, she took an abortifacient—a third-grade spirit elixir called 'Madame Jealousy.' It works fast; from swallowing to effect, no more than sixty breaths," the Spiritual Alchemist replied.

He went in to examine Cindy Zhu, then came out and knelt before Colin Gu: "Your Majesty, Consort Cindy has lost most of her blood... There’s nothing more we can do. Please let her family come in to say their last goodbyes."

This fate was a bit like Grace's in her previous life.

Cindy didn’t want to be sent away as a hostage, so she got rid of the child—and conveniently tried to frame Grace...

Once Colin Gu gave the order, someone immediately left the manor to summon a Spiritual Alchemist.

Wendy Zhu stiffened, but in the end, she couldn’t forbid them from calling another Spiritual Alchemist.

She could only grit her teeth and wait.

Wendy Zhu glared at Grace, her anger so fierce it felt like her heart might burst.

But now that Cindy Zhu was a palace consort, their words no longer carried weight.

Time ticked by, every second stretching out, the tension in the room growing thicker and thicker.

By the time the Spiritual Alchemist arrived in a rush, two whole quarters had passed.

Wendy Zhu’s knees buckled when she heard this, and she nearly collapsed, her composure slipping for the first time.

Kevin Zhuo was also pale, his eyes flickering with emotion.

Like mother, like daughter. Neither Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu nor Minister Zhuo could bring themselves to see her one last time, their hearts heavy with regret and disappointment.

Then he turned to leave.

"Your Majesty!" Wendy Zhu called out.

Cynthia’s miscarriage—no ordinary doctor could have figured out the real cause.

"So, Cynthia and the little prince both died, and that's just it?"

Colin Gu was silent for a moment, then asked the Spiritual Alchemist, "What caused Consort Cynthia's miscarriage?"

"Your Majesty, she took an abortifacient—a third-grade spirit elixir called 'Madame Jealousy.' It works fast; from swallowing to effect, no more than sixty breaths." the Spiritual Alchemist replied.

"And what about the excessive bleeding?"

The Spiritual Alchemist answered, "As for the bleeding, I suspect the dose of 'Madame Jealousy' was too high... or maybe it was caused by other medicines. Her pulse was so weak, I couldn't tell for sure..."

Colin Gu looked at Wendy Zhu. "So, was it Grace who gave her the abortifacient?"

Wendy Zhu, losing control, shouted, "It was her! It had to be her! Isn’t she a Spiritual Alchemist? She must’ve drugged Cynthia!"

"I only look at evidence," Colin Gu said. "If you have proof, bring it to me."

With that, he turned and left.

Wendy Zhu glared at Grace, feeling so furious she could almost cough up blood.

"Minghan, go in and see her one last time," Lena said softly, glancing at Cynthia’s door with pity.

Minister Zhuo’s expression was complicated, but he shook his head, took Lena’s hand, and left.

Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu sighed and walked away too.

Both Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu and Minister Zhuo were shrewd people.

The moment they heard the words 'abortifacient,' they understood what had happened.

Cynthia didn’t want to be sent away as a hostage, so she got rid of the child—and conveniently tried to frame Grace...

Like mother, like daughter. Neither Dowager Lady Evelyn Zhu nor Minister Zhuo wanted to see her one last time.

Wendy Zhu was clever too.

She hadn’t missed a thing in her calculations.

Cynthia’s miscarriage—no ordinary doctor could have figured out the real cause.

After all, the medicine she gave Cynthia was a third-tier spirit elixir.

But who could have expected such massive bleeding?
