This made Su Mengyan, who was originally a little skeptical, believe that this matter had nothing to do with Xu Chuchu.
After all, if Xu Chuchu was really the culprit, there was no need for her to come to him directly and drag this matter onto him before she was involved in this matter.
But if it really wasn't Xu Chuchu who did it, then who was responsible for the murder of the little eunuch in the cold palace?
With this doubt in mind, Su Mengyan felt that maybe she should go and check it out herself.
After making up her mind to go to the cold palace to find out what was going on, Su Mengyan quietly avoided everyone and came out of the cold palace.
There is a small forest outside the gray-white palace wall. This is the forest where the body was found. The lush trees in the forest make the cold palace look even more eerie.
Most of these women in the cold palace were once the emperor's favorite concubines. Because they made some mistakes, they ended up having to live a miserable life in the cold palace.
However, Situ Yao had only been in power for a year or two, so he did not have many concubines, and none of them were banished to the cold palace for making mistakes.
Looking at this dilapidated cold palace, Su Mengyan couldn't help but want to sigh. So many young women in their prime have lived miserably in this neglected cold palace and eventually lost their lives.
Shaking her head, she remembered the purpose of her visit today. She wanted to investigate the real cause of death of the eunuch, not to lament about life.
Just as she was about to go deeper into the woods, she suddenly heard a strange laugh.
"Hahaha."
She was just lamenting the misery of the women in the cold palace of the harem, but unexpectedly, she heard a burst of laughter, which surprised her very much. Could it be that someone in the cold palace could laugh?
Out of curiosity, Su Mengyan immediately turned her head and looked towards the direction where the laughter came from. Unexpectedly, when she looked, she saw a figure flash quickly and disappear.
Although she was a lonely soul in another world, she felt that even if there were ghosts in this world, they would not appear in broad daylight, so she immediately chased after the figure.
After chasing for a while, she saw the person in front stopped, so she slowed down.
I saw the man in front of me, dressed in red, with a pale face.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The woman in red seemed to have not expected that Su Mengyan was not afraid of her but could catch up with her, so she asked curiously.
Although Su Mengyan felt that ghosts should not appear in broad daylight, she felt a little scared when she saw the pale-faced woman in red clothes.
But at this moment, she was the only one standing opposite the woman. If she showed fear, she didn't know what would happen. So she bravely pretended that she was not afraid, but instead looked very powerful.
Su Mengyan didn't answer him, but she didn't seem to be afraid of him. The woman in red chuckled and wiped her face lightly with her white hands. Some white powder fell from her face.
Su Mengyan suddenly realized that the woman's face was so pale not because she was originally so, but because she used some white powder to disguise her face.
Su Mengyan was very unfamiliar with the woman's appearance. She didn't know who she was, but she was sure that she was a human being, except that she looked mentally abnormal.
"Who are you?" Su Mengyan felt a little curious about this person. In the harem, the masters looked familiar even if she didn't recognize them, but she had never seen this woman before.
After hearing her words, the woman laughed again and waved mysteriously at Su Mengyan: "Come with me, come here!"
Although this woman was crazy, her every move seemed to indicate that she had no ill intentions towards her, so Su Mengyan followed her.
The woman in red looked back at Su Mengyan as she walked. Seeing that Su Mengyan was following her, she walked forward with a smile, seeming to mutter something to herself as she walked.
It turned out that he was mentally ill. Su Mengyan had some idea of this person in her mind.
The woman in red led Su Mengyan and dodged all the way to a small door. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a side door of the cold palace.
Not only that, she opened the door and walked in. Su Mengyan hesitated for a moment and then followed her.
The woman seemed to be very familiar with this place. She came to a yard, pushed open the door, and walked in with a smile. Su Mengyan had already come here, so she naturally would not give up, so she followed her in immediately.
After entering, she discovered that there were two other people in the yard.
Judging from the clothes of the two people, they were obviously an old palace maid and an old eunuch. The old palace maid and the old eunuch were about fifty years old and had a somewhat old face, but they were dressed normally and were dressed appropriately.
Su Mengyan was surprised again because she didn't expect that there was someone in the cold palace.
The old palace maid Su Mengyan and the old eunuch were a little surprised at the sudden appearance, but they reacted immediately.
Looking at Su Mengyan's clothes, they realized that Su Mengyan was not an ordinary palace maid, but should be a master in the harem, so they immediately bowed to Su Mengyan and said, "Greetings."
Because they didn't know Su Mengyan's identity, they only said this simple sentence.
Everyone who comes is a guest. The old palace maid asked Su Mengyan to sit on a bench in the lobby, and then ran to the back to make a cup of tea.
"My lord, there is nothing good to serve you in the cold palace. I only have this pot of tea. I hope you don't mind." Although the old palace maid was a little older, her behavior was very appropriate. Even Su Mengyan could not find any shortcomings in her etiquette.
Su Mengyan was about to ask them about their identities when she saw a woman in red coming out from behind.
"Mammy, I'm hungry."
"Hey, master, wait a minute, I'll get you some food right away." After saying this, she apologized to Su Mengyan again and went to the back to prepare food for the woman in red.
From this we can see that although the woman in red is unconscious, she has a good relationship with the old lady.
When the nanny appeared again, she was holding some pastries in her hands. Although they were not very exquisite, they looked like they were still edible.
Seeing this, the woman in red immediately pounced over, put the pastry on the table, and started eating it bite by bite.
While she was eating, Su Mengyan kept observing the interaction between her and the nanny.
"Do you think there's an epidemic in the palace? All my fish are dead." The woman in red asked Su Mengyan with her big eyes open after swallowing a piece of chestnut cake.
