Aside from her eyes that could still open to look at people, the woman was almost entirely covered in burns from head to toe, with no unscarred skin, her injuries extremely severe.
The two young men were still inexperienced, and it was their first time witnessing such a scene, inevitably feeling frightened.
However, they managed to stay relatively composed without showing it too overtly.
Zhao Xi was the first to recover, asking Lu Pingzhou, "Was she the witness you mentioned?"
Lu Pingzhou nodded, "If the Prince has any questions, you can ask her."
Zhao Xi hesitated, "Is she able to speak despite her wounds?"
Before Lu Pingzhou could speak, the woman spoke up on her own, her voice hoarse beyond belief, "I've been holding onto my last breath waiting for you, just say whatever you have to say, my time is short."
Song Yuanbao brought a stool over, and Zhao Xi took a seat, his gaze falling on the woman's now unrecognizable face, "Who are you?"
"Qiu Shuyue, the Duke's concubine."
