Hong Mei was sentenced to death for disrespecting her master.
However, in the palace, it's rare for someone to be beaten to death just for disrespect.
Combining it with the previous incident at Chen Guipin's place, it's hard not to think deeply about it. Even someone not particularly clever would find it too coincidental.
Not to mention, how clever Ye Zao is?
In Shoukang Palace, Hong Mei was restrained on the punishment stool for execution. She couldn't bear it and kept begging repeatedly, Empress Dowager have mercy, Empress Dowager save me.
Yet not a single person came out to see her.
Even until she breathed her last, she never saw the Empress Dowager. Her cries gradually lost coherence.
Su Peisheng stood there with his hands behind his back, watching the eunuchs execute. Thinking to himself, what's the point of this? Just look at this Shoukang Palace, so many servants have died, yet things never change?
