A Sister knelt at Ye Zao's feet.
She wasn't personally waiting on her, but she could move around the room. She could be considered close.
"Greetings to the master."
"Is Consort Xi related to this matter? Or do you know something?"
Ye Zao raised her hand, signaling her to get up.
The Sister stood up quickly and said, "In response to the master's question, I feel that Consort Xi is not related to this matter. Consort Xi wouldn't dare do such a thing. Besides, during the years I've been here, she never had a chance to acquire such poison."
"Consort Xi used to try to win over Noble Lady Nian, but Noble Lady Nian didn't comply. Now, Consort Xi no longer tries to win anyone over. However, her sister-in-law sometimes comes to the palace, what they talk about, I don't know."
"Very well, since you don't know, go back. After you return, keep an eye on her. I want you to watch her closely." At times like these, Ye Zao does not believe Consort Xi will remain idle.
