Even without the Empress Dowager's orders, the people who had been standing behind Gu Pin were already detained.
They had come from Weiyang Palace. Behind Gu Pin, besides Consort Zhang, there were only a group of palace maids, eunuchs, and Imperial Physicians. Although Consort Zhang was blinded by jealousy, she still remembered to be discreet with her wicked deeds. After Liang Yuyin's round of questioning, no one said they had seen who pushed Gu Pin.
Consort Zhang, along with the two palace maids and one eunuch closest to Gu Pin, became the focus of Liang Yuyin's interrogation.
Liang Yuyin was a veteran who had weathered countless storms in the harem. In the Imperial Palace, there was no such thing as black and white, much less an incorruptible judge. It was often a matter of identifying who had the strongest motive and the weakest backing, then interrogating that person to death—or at least until the Emperor was satisfied.
