Li Ji looked at Li Yan as if he were an idiot and sneered.
"When I was speaking with Consort Liu, those two nannies were standing right outside.
If I had truly forced her to take poison, wouldn't she have screamed?
If she had cried out even once, it would have been impossible for the people outside not to hear."
The two nannies kneeling on the floor hurriedly chimed in.
"The Prince is right. The Noble Consort never cried out from beginning to end."
Li Yan was still unconvinced. "Perhaps you used some trick to keep my mother from making a sound, then forced her to drink the poison."
Everyone present turned to look at Prince Zhao in unison.
Although the Fifth Prince's speculation was rather extreme, it wasn't entirely impossible.
Consort Liu had nearly cost Princess Consort Zhao her life. Prince Zhao had more than enough motive to want revenge for his consort.
Moreover, Prince Zhao was the only one present when Consort Liu was poisoned.
