Mingshu thought that the other party might find a Taoist or something, but she never expected that the Noble Consort would actually pin the blame on Hong Yu.
When Hong Yu was taken away, Mingshu silently stood by and sang for her a rendition of "The Injustice to Dou E".
The Noble Consort probably wanted some face-saving pretext, so the excuse was that Hong Yu had been neglectful in taking care of the young prince and had also been disrespectful to the person the Noble Consort had sent to look after the young prince.
After such an incident, Mingshu knew that it was very likely Hong Yu would not be returning.
She might have thought that Hong Yu was a loyal servant left by Noble Lady Jiang.
Killing two birds with one stone, the Noble Consort not only eliminated a potential threat but also successfully planted her own people.
Indeed, under the guise of caring for the young prince, the Noble Consort sent a Sister Liang over.
