Concubine Shu was also shocked.
For a moment, she thought she had heard it wrong.
"As usual, I went to patrol the cold palace tonight and found... found Xue lying in a pool of blood, and all the palace maids were dead..." The eunuch in charge of the cold palace was also very panicked.
He was specially arranged by Empress Dowager Xue to take care of Xue Jinyan. Tonight, he went to give Xue Jinyan a New Year gift as usual, but he saw five people lying in a pool of blood...
Empress Dowager Xue's face darkened instantly.
Helian Qi ordered, "Send a message to the Criminal Justice Department to investigate immediately."
The eunuch Wu Mi rushed to the cold palace as soon as possible. There was no one alive in the room, and nothing was left to prove the identity of the assassin.
We can only guess based on the traces of fighting between the two sides that the assassin was also injured.
The emperor immediately ordered the entire harem to search for the injured palace maids.

The cold palace is a group of abandoned palaces.
Many deposed concubines lived there.
If someone wants to attack Xue Jinyan, the first thing they need to do is to scout the area.
Otherwise, you would have to search every room in the cold palace.
After receiving this clue, Ning Wanyin immediately made some defensive arrangements.
First, imagine that the enemy wants to harm you, then Xue Jinyan may die or may not.
If Xue Jinyan died, he would pick up the physical evidence used by the other party to frame him.
If Xue Jinyan is not dead, then kill Xue Jinyan, because she must be the witness left by the other party.
