Su Lixia started thinking about how to win over her boyfriend. After all, she didn't know what kind of roommate she would be in next dorm. She didn't want to come back and end up with the whole book being filled with former hosts. That would be terrible. Besides, who knows what she would be like next time she started.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, the servants had lost all motivation to work diligently and were already slacking off while gossiping. News travels fast in the palace, and it wasn't long before it reached the inner palace.

The emperor's father-in-law had also heard the rumors. He glanced at the emperor but held back and told him about it.

After all, he did see the palace maid being stabbed to death by the emperor's sword, so of course he wouldn't say anything more about it.

However, his shifty little eyes could not escape the master's notice.

"If there's anything I heard from someone else, and you know that not telling me would be treason, and you know the consequences."

Threatened like that, the father-in-law panicked instantly, immediately knelt down, and said tremblingly, "I just don't know if I should say this."

"Since I've asked you, you have to tell me whether you should or shouldn't, without any falsehood. You understand."

The eunuch trembled and immediately kowtowed to the ground, saying, "It was just today that I overheard two palace maids chatting about the palace maid who was ordered to commit suicide by His Majesty last time, but I reprimanded them."

Upon hearing this, the lord slammed the bamboo slips onto the table: "Didn't we tell you to keep quiet about this? How did they find out?"

"This servant does not know."

"Did only those two palace maids know?"

The father-in-law shook his head: "There's definitely more than that. One person tells another, so nobody knows where the source is."

The lord gritted his teeth: "Investigate this immediately!"

"Yes!" The father-in-law kowtowed, then quickly got up and ran away.
