Chapter 279: In Time (One more)

The Princess Sheng An sat firmly on the main seat, the Queen accompanying her, while the palace maids were summoned forward one by one for interrogation.

Within half an hour, they had already interrogated more than a dozen people.

When Su Rong and her party arrived, it was the turn of a young palace maid to be interrogated. The maid stood with her head lowered, her hands crossed in front of her, about to kneel.

"Hold on!" Su Rong suddenly called out.

The little maid paused in place, her hands unclasped, and with a glint of gold at her fingertips, she flung something towards Princess Sheng An and the Queen.

Seeing clearly, Su Rong flicked her wrist, releasing several golden needles from her hand. In an instant, they blocked the golden needles the young maid had aimed at Princess Sheng An and the Queen. The sound of gold colliding echoed lightly, barely audible, followed by a series of crisp sounds as the golden needles fell to the ground together.
