Except for a pair of eyes that could still be opened to look at others, from head to toe, the woman's skin was almost completely covered in severe burns.
The two young men had little experience, and it was the first time they had seen such a sight, so it was inevitable they were frightened.
However, they remained relatively composed, not showing it too clearly.
Zhao Xi was the first to recover, asking Lu Pingzhou, "Is she the witness you mentioned?"
Lu Pingzhou nodded, "Your Highness can ask her anything you want to know."
Zhao Xi hesitated, "She's so badly injured, can she still speak?"
Before Lu Pingzhou could answer, the woman spoke, her voice hoarse beyond belief, "I've held on this long, waiting for you. Just speak your mind, I don't have much time left."
Song Yuanbao brought a chair, and Zhao Xi sat down conveniently, his gaze falling on the woman's disfigured face, "Who are you?"
"Qiu Shuyue, the Duke's concubine."
"Are you... a member of the Su Family?"
