He seemed to be using this method to warn the others in the palace.
If anyone dares to harm Mu Qianqian in this palace.
This is how it ends.
After Lan Xi returned from viewing Zhen'er's body, her face turned deathly pale, and she kept vomiting.
"What's wrong? Are you ill?" the Empress asked with concern. "Summon the imperial physician to take a look."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm fine." Lan Xi placed one hand on her chest, as if she was deliberately suppressing something.
"You look terrible. If you're really sick, don't force yourself to stay awake." The Empress frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, I'm really fine." Lan Xi swallowed hard. "I just felt nauseous when I saw Zhen'er."
Listen to what she has to say.
The Empress paused slightly.
She never expected this.
Emperor Yuanwu went to such great lengths for Mu Qianqian, alarming the entire harem.
"If you are not feeling well, go back and rest. I will come to serve you again in the evening," the Empress said calmly.
She felt as if a stone was stuck in her chest.
Others are having trouble breathing.
The seventh princess was said to have only been slightly frightened and was not actually injured.
Let all the palace workers go and watch the already dead Zhen'er being tortured.
Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of nothing?
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lan Xi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Empress before leaving the Empress's palace.
She was genuinely worried that if she stayed any longer, she would be unable to control herself and would throw up.
There have been precedents for this in the palace before.
Previously, she was just a lowly palace maid.
She was just going through the motions in this kind of thing.
Now she is by the Empress's side, doing many things for her, both openly and secretly.
I don't know if it's because I feel guilty or something else.
She felt that when she saw Zhen'er being tortured after her death, she was not only afraid, but also covered in cold sweat, which soaked the back of her clothes.
She was really afraid that one day...
I will be like Zhen'er in the future.
Even if they are dead.
They would be beaten until their skin was torn and their flesh was ripped open, and they would be tortured in front of everyone in the palace.
Lan Xi, in a daze, bumped into San Xi.
"Oh dear, Aunt Lanxi, what's wrong?" Sanxi supported Lanxi with one hand.
Lan Xi was taken aback, as if she had been pulled back to reality: "Eunuch Sanxi, did you also just come back from where Zhen'er was being tortured?"
"Was Aunt Lanxi frightened? Why don't you go have a cup of calming tea? There's no need to take this to heart," Sanxi said casually.
Lan Xi moved her lips: "Eunuch Sanxi has been by Her Majesty the Empress's side for so many years, are you really not afraid to see a scene like this?"
Sanxi was taken aback by her question: "I have other matters to attend to. Aunt Lanxi, you should go back and rest early."
Lan Xi gave a wry smile: "Thank you for your concern, Father-in-law Sanxi."
Sanxi stared at Lanxi's departing figure for a long while before entering the Empress's palace.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated the matter you asked me to investigate." Sanxi knelt on one knee and bowed.
"How so?" The Empress paused, her fingers still sipping her tea.
“It was the Emperor who saved the Seventh Princess, not the guards,” Sanxi said. “It was the Emperor who used the dagger at his waist to slit Zhen’er’s throat.”
"Your Majesty?" The Empress's eyes narrowed slightly, then she suddenly burst into laughter: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would make an exception for that little slut."
The Empress couldn't help but smash the teacup she was holding on the ground...
