She realized what was happening and turned around abruptly, only to see a naked woman smashing a vase down on her.
The naive young girl never imagined that there was another person inside the house!
Does this mean that three people can have sex together?
The woman from earlier appears to be Fangcao, a personal maidservant of Consort Chun.
The two women, mistress and servant, were having an affair with a guard on the same bed!
With an hour to go before the banquet began, the Empress personally went to the palace to check on their makeup and attire, making sure they wouldn't embarrass themselves in public.
"How's the princess outfit coming along?"
"The two princesses are asleep, and this servant dares not go in to disturb them."
The Empress frowned. What time is it? Still sleeping?
Something's not right!
Something's not right!
The Queen suddenly had a bad feeling: "Open the door."
"yes."
The door opened, and the palace was empty, quiet, and dark, which made the Empress even more uneasy.
Is he still sleeping?
"Wanwan? Yinyin?"
The Empress called out twice but received no response, so she hurried to the bedside.
"Someone come here!"
"Where is the princess?"
The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying that they deserved to die.
The guards were completely unaware of this; they had been stationed outside the palace, with people even guarding the rooftops and windows.
The two princesses absolutely did not leave their palace!
Two perfectly healthy people just vanished into thin air?
"Hurry up and find it!"
The Empress was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and Granny Yu was also pacing around anxiously.
She had no children of her own, but she watched the prince and princess grow up and had long regarded them as her own children.
"Your Highness, don't panic. Why don't you ask the county princess to come and help?"
Although Granny Yu was unaware of Su Yujiao's extraordinary abilities, she could tell from the conversation between the Empress and the Crown Prince that Su Yujiao was the first to suggest that the princess was in danger.
Perhaps she knows something inside!
The Empress's mind cleared instantly, and she felt she had found hope: "Yes, quickly go and invite the County Princess."
"Yes, this old servant will go and invite him personally."
Granny Yu personally led a group of people, and they encountered Su Yujiao and Lu Ziwei as soon as they reached the door. Lu Ziqian and Gu Heng followed behind them.
The four of them traveled together!
Granny Yu walked over to Su Yujiao, lowered her voice, and briefly explained the situation.
"Disappeared inside the bedchamber?"
Are you sure?
"Sure!"
"That person should still be in the bedchamber."
"Has the area been cordoned off?"
Granny Yu nodded: "It's sealed off. The Empress was afraid that the thieves would take the opportunity to escape, so she only ordered a search of the palace and didn't let anyone out."
Su Yujiao thought for a moment, whispered a few words in Lu Ziqian's ear, and the man immediately turned and left.
"Let's go take a look first."
"The general?"
"He went back to get something."
The Empress saw Su Yujiao as if she had found a lifeline, and Su Yujiao could only comfort her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the princess hasn't left the palace, we will definitely find her."
Soon Lu Ziqian arrived carrying Little Grey.
Su Yujiao held up the two princesses' personal clothing and let Little Grey smell it, then asked Little Grey to help her find it.
Little Grey has a keen nose and high intelligence. She has also been specially trained and can be used as a military dog.
Perhaps it's because I've watched too many period dramas, but I always feel that every room in the palace has a secret room and a secret passage.
If humans can't find them, animals certainly will; it's in their nature.
Sure enough, Little Grey lay on the ground like a puppy, sniffing and searching, and soon crawled under the bed, where it didn't come out for a long time.
Su Yujiao immediately suspected that something was amiss under the bed.
"Have you searched under the bed?"
"I just searched under the bed, there was nothing there. I checked myself." It was the Empress who replied.
Su Yujiao didn't believe it, so she bent down and looked under the bed. It was pitch black inside. She shone her flashlight around and found no one hiding there.
But there's no Little Grey either.
"Get a few people over here and move the bed away."
"Little Grey is missing. There must be something strange under this bed."
Several guards carried away the heavy thousand-work bed, revealing a large hole in the ground with steps leading down to it.
The empress's face immediately changed, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"Send a few men down to check what's going on inside."
"It's best not to alert the people inside, lest they become desperate and kill us to silence us."
Su Yujiao also looked worried.
The original book does not describe this part in detail, nor does it say how the two princesses were killed.
The empress broke down on the spot after hearing only that the two princesses had been raped and murdered in a gruesome manner.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a guard came up to report the situation.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been found."
"Princess Qingyin is injured and unconscious."
"Furthermore, it was discovered that Consort Chun was having an affair with a guard."
"The entrance to this cave is too narrow to carry the princess out. Please, Your Majesty, move to Consort Chun's palace."
The Empress's face turned deathly pale: "Is his life in danger?"
"Princess Qingwan is fine. Princess Qingyin has a head wound, and there is a broken vase on the ground. She is still breathing."
The Crown Prince supported the Empress, whose legs were weak, while Su Yujiao and Lu Ziqian had already rushed to Consort Chun's palace.
The guards had already rescued the two princesses, and Su Yujiao immediately gave Chu Qingyin first aid.
Chu Qingyin woke up quickly. The wound was on the top of her head, but fortunately it wasn't on the back of her head, otherwise it would have been dangerous.
Su Yujiao diagnosed her with a mild concussion, quickly bandaged her up, and told her to rest in bed.
Chu Qingwan turned pale with fright: "Mother, and Fangcao, the head maid of Consort Chun."
