Xue Mier accompanied her, and a few constables quickly followed behind to protect them. Furthermore, they would occasionally explain to Hu Xiao and the other two about the situation in the city.
When the sun was about to set, Xue Mier didn’t wear much. Feeling cold, she urged Hu Xiao to go back.
Hu Xiao looked around, and since she was done, she agreed. Yin Fufeng and the rest did not follow him, but after they came, they went to look for something to eat.
The entire night, Hu Xiao’s mind floated, she did not know how to handle this matter. The citizens had fled to the capital, other than food and drinks, there was another reason.
Candles flickered in the room as she leaned against the window in a daze with her hands on her cheeks. The bright moonlight shining on her made her feel at peace.
Suddenly, the candle flame in the room went out, Hu Xiao turned to look, her heart alarmed, "Who is it?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
She narrowed her eyes. At first, she couldn’t get used to the sudden darkness, but after a while, she was able to see everything clearly.
With a flash of the blade, the blade with a cold glint came out of its sheath and went straight for his chest. Hu Xiao was already prepared, she had dodged the opponent’s attack.
Her hair fluttered in the wind. The other party was a woman!
It couldn’t be Xue Mier, Xue Mier did not have such skills, but who was this woman?
She had just arrived here today and had not offended anyone. Could it be that she had found the wrong enemy?
Thinking about it, Hu Xiao’s heart trembled, she felt that it was necessary to explain everything to her, don’t be so foolish as to get beaten to death by this lady.
"Miss, let’s talk properly. I’ve just arrived and have never offended anyone. I’m afraid that you ..." Hu Xiao said while dodging. She had not moved yet.
"You’re the one who’s going to die, you deserve to die. Damn it." Her gaze was fierce, like an Asura from hell, and her movements were nimble.
That she deserved to die? Heh, this girl has quite the tone!
She wanted to see who it was that deserved to die!
Hu Xiao was angry, she jumped up, her body releasing a sharp Qi, her gaze becoming more and more sharp.
The more the woman attacked, the braver she became, as though she was not going to stop until Hu Xiao was dead. When she came over, she was kicked hard by Hu Xiao, causing her to fall to the ground. She gritted her teeth, and got up again.
"Are you a servant girl?" Hu Xiao squinted her eyes. Borrowing the moonlight, she was able to see the clothes on the girl’s body. The clothes, were obviously worn by the Mansion’s maidservants.
Hearing that, the servant gritted her teeth as she glared at Hu Xiao without responding.
There was too much noise coming from inside the house, the voices came from far away, the servants picked up their torches, they stopped in front of Hu Xiao’s courtyard.
Hu Xiao did not stay polite with the servant, she quickly grabbed her and pushed her servant out of the door, so that he could see her appearance.
"Is this woman from your house?" Hu Xiao cast her gaze at the crowd and asked coldly. She thought, since the Chief Officer did not have the guts to kill her, even if he did want to kill her, he would not send a woman over.
Everyone looked at each other, under Hu Xiao’s questioning, one of them was just about to answer, but the servant snorted and admitted it, "That’s right, I’m a servant of the family. I killed you because you deserve to die."
Even though her hands and feet were tied by Hu Xiao, she was still full of fighting spirit.
After listening, Hu Xiao was extremely confused. She was wholeheartedly trying to profit for the East Court, why did she deserve to die? In the South Yue, no one had ever said she deserved to die.
Without waiting for her to ask, the servant girl looked coldly at Hu Xiao and continued, "You are the Demon Empress, you will bring disaster to this country. Killing you is acting on behalf of the heavens."
The servant girl spoke each word, after hearing it, everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. They all thought, must this girl be crazy, to say such words in front of Empress, and even try to assassinate him, she must be tired of living.
Hearing these words, Hu Xiao’s face turned dark. She could just say this, but it would just be a joke, it would not matter. But now, everyone had said this, so what was she going to do?
The room was completely dark, and she could not understand why there was such a rumor about the people. Everyone said that she was the Demon Empress, and that she was the bane of the nation.
If she talked too much, she wouldn’t feel good!
"Why, why!" Hu Xiao sat on the bed, her eyes were filled with confusion, after an unknown period of time, a low voice came from outside the door.
No one knew whether Hu Xiao was inside or not. They knocked on the door a few times, but there was no reply.
At this time, Hu Xiao was immersed in her own thoughts, and did not hear the voice coming from outside.
"Prime Minister Yin, could the Queen not be inside?" Someone asked.
Yin Fufeng frowned, he thought, that’s not possible, it’s so late, where else can my cousin go, my cousin entrusted his to me, I can’t let anything happen to her!
Thinking about it, Yin Fufeng’s heart tensed up. He knocked on the door a few times, and shouted loudly: "Cousin sister, are you inside? Did you fall asleep?
Even if he was asleep, he wouldn’t die like this, right? They had already knocked on the door for a long time.
"3, 2 ..."
Just as Yin Fufeng and the rest were about to rush in, Hu Xiao suddenly came to her senses, and shouted towards the door: "What are you doing in the middle of the night, it’s so noisy!"
Hearing that, the person outside heaved a sigh of relief, and then, the door opened from the inside, revealing Hu Xiao’s delicate face.
Other than Yin Fufeng and Xue Mier, there were also a few scholars. Hu Xiao stepped aside and said: "It’s good that you guys are here, I was just about to tell you guys something."
Coincidentally, Yin Fufeng and the rest were also here to discuss things with Hu Xiao, but they didn’t know if it was the same thing.
After they had settled down, Hu Xiao stood in front of them and suddenly asked: "I want you all to speak the truth.
Hu Xiao took a deep breath. If she did not understand this question, she would not be able to sleep.
As the involved party, she could not understand what was going on, but Yin Fufeng and the rest were spectators, the proverb was, the spectators should know what was going on.
Hearing this, the scholars looked at each other. There seemed to be no evidence of the Queen bringing calamity upon the world.
However, if there was no wind, then there must be a problem!
Just then, Xue Mier stood up, she looked at Hu Xiao and said solemnly: "Hu Xiao, I thought of one thing, someone might have done this on purpose, and it is to ruin your reputation."
Of course, this was only Xue Mier’s guess, but someone must have purposefully made such a comment out of nowhere due to the East Court.
"Yes, cousin. I also thought so. After you came to the East Court, you didn’t do anything to harm the interests of the common people in the East Court." Yin Fufeng stroked his chin and said softly.
