Chapter 165 The Palace Maid Was Murdered
Jiang Yi's expression changed, and a chill welled up in her eyes. Her aura had changed, but ordinary people couldn't detect it. They could only sense that this beautiful girl wasn't very happy.
The palace maid's horrific death was so dry that the onlookers only knew it was abnormal, but when asked to explain how the palace maid died, they couldn't say it. Jiang Yi was different. She knew at a glance that the dead palace maid had been drained of her yang energy.
The so-called yang energy is a person's spirit, or to put it bluntly, it is vitality.
Soon, the emperor heard about the maid's death. He simply looked up at the sky outside the palace, waved his hand nonchalantly, and told the guards who had replied to the message to drag the body away and burn it.
Even though the emperor wanted to calm the people in the palace as quickly as possible, everyone in the palace was still in a state of panic. After all, this was a life, and they were all afraid that they would be the next to die.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"By order of the Emperor, carry the body away! Everyone, get out of my way!"
These guards were so aggressive that they pushed and shoved, forcing a small path out of the huge crowd inside and outside.
They covered the palace maid's body with a piece of white cloth, and then carried her out on a simple wooden rack.
When the guards walked away, several people sighed.
"See? This is fate."
"Oh, yes, if we burn it all down, there will be no such person in the world anymore."
"Stop talking, stop talking, and get to work."
"Ah~ Human life is worthless. We who work here should be used to it. Death itself is an unlucky thing..."
The onlookers were talking as they prepared to disperse. At this time, Liu Yanyan came over with a group of people. She had been following behind the guards and only appeared after they carried the body away.
Liu Yanyan stopped Jiang Yi who wanted to go out.
The crowd that was about to disperse gathered together again, all looking at the two beautiful girls in front of them who were on the verge of a fight.
"Miss Jiang."
Liu Yanyan spoke first, breaking the tit-for-tat atmosphere.
Jiang Yi nodded and scratched his ears to show that he heard it. Liu Yanyan was a little disgusted by Jiang Yi's ear-cleaning action. How could a woman be so vulgar?
"Miss Jiang, don't you want to say something about the death of this palace maid?"
Jiang Yi thought about it seriously, then blurted out two words.
"Excuse me?"
Phew.
The crowd couldn't help but laugh out loud. The girl was pretty, but she looked a little fierce.
An angry look appeared on Liu Yanyan's pretty face again.
"Who told you to say that?"
Jiang Yi spread his hands.
"Then what do you want me to say?"
Soon, Liu Yanyan calmed down. She turned around and glanced at Jiang Yi intentionally or unintentionally.
"If you ask me, this palace was supposed to be peaceful and tranquil. How could someone die out of nowhere?"
Her words successfully attracted the attention of many people. This kind of thing would never happen in the imperial palace, after all, the "Son of Heaven" was in charge.
Jiang Yi's eyes flickered twice, and then she crossed her arms. She wanted to see what Liu Yanyan was up to!
"Such a horrific thing happened in the palace. I guess some uninvited guests brought bad luck into the palace, right, Miss Jiang?"
Liu Yanyan gave Jiang Yi an ambiguous smile.
At this time, the crowd watching also felt the same way. That's right, it was because the eldest prince brought Jiang Yi and Shen Yu with him, so...
For a moment, everyone was talking about it, and their eyes were looking at Jiang Yi with a hint of disgust.
They retreated, leaving a large open space around Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi looked at Liu Yanyan and the others with a look of idiocy. She had no intention of playing this trick on them right now. Because she suddenly remembered that she should have given the deceased palace maid a red string to ward off evil spirits.
Logically, it was impossible for the evil spirit to target her. However, she checked around and didn't see the red rope until the guards carried the person away.
Where is the red rope?
Jiang Yi had a big doubt in his mind.
"River......"
Liu Yanyan still said it, and Jiang Yi left the place.
Just now, she seemed to see a figure out of the corner of her eye.
"Hello!"
Liu Yanyan was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yi's neglect, but even though she shouted, Jiang Yi didn't even look at her.
This made everyone present, including Liu Yanyan, very embarrassed.
The reason Jiang Yi left this place was because she had just seen a palace maid hiding in a corner. And the look on her face made her look like she was an insider.
Otherwise, why would he look so surprised and doubtful?
The maid ran as fast as a frightened deer. Jiang Yi followed her closely and chased her all the way to the maid's room.
The palace maid wanted to close the door, but Jiang Yi got there first. With a flash of his body, by the time the palace maid successfully closed the door, Jiang Yi was already behind her.
"ah!!"
The palace maid was startled.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Before Jiang Yi could speak, the maid said something while holding her head. Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. Once she said it, it was clear that this little maid must know something.
"Don't be afraid, I'm Jiang Yi, I know her death has nothing to do with you."
The maid lowered her hands and stopped looking away. She stared at Jiang Yi and asked.
"Really?"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Of course I know, but I want to ask you where the red string came from?"
Jiang Yi pointed at the red rope on the little palace maid's hand.
The palace maid pulled her wrists to her chest and stared at Jiang Yi warily.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly: "I originally gave this red string to that palace maid to ward off evil spirits, so I wanted to ask you."
The little palace maid opened her eyes wide.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the little palace maid seemed to confirm that Jiang Yi had no ill intentions, so she let down her guard.
She sat on the simple bed, her eyes flickering slightly, seemingly without any ill intentions.
"I don't know why this happened, really!"
"We are friends. I had a nightmare last night and couldn't sleep! She gave me this red string, saying it can ward off evil spirits and protect me!"
"Who knows, who knows, Xiaowei told me she was going to get up at night, but she didn't come back all night!"
"That's what happened. Her death really had nothing to do with me. Believe me, I didn't kill her. I really didn't kill her!"
The little palace maid in front of him might have been frightened and kept muttering that she was not the one who killed Xiaowei.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to pat her on the back to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, I know it has nothing to do with you. It's okay, it's okay."
With Jiang Yi's comfort, the little palace maid gradually calmed down.
Seeing that her emotions had calmed down, Jiang Yi gave her some advice.
"Hold this red rope well, don't lose it."
