"If he's not in the room, then where else could he be?" Huo Zhiyu became anxious when he heard that Xue Zhiyi was missing.
Ge Yuanhui glanced at the person on the bed, intentionally or unintentionally: "Maybe the Xue family's sister is not sober after drinking, so she went somewhere to sober up. We must look for her carefully, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Concubine Ge also rebuked Yunxue: "Yunxue, you are also an old man in the palace. After you settled Miss Xue San, why didn't you just watch over her?"
Yun Xue quickly begged for mercy: "I am used to serving the Majesty, and I am worried that others won't be able to serve her well, so I thought that after I have settled Miss Xue, I will hurry back to serve the Majesty!"
Concubine Ge was becoming increasingly displeased: "You are such a smooth talker, but you can't even do your job properly. If Miss Xue San does anything wrong, I will punish you severely!"
Ge Yuanhui sympathetically consoled her, "Don't worry, Auntie. Sister Xue is drunk and can't walk far. Maybe she just fell asleep somewhere else."
When everyone looked at the bed again, their expressions suddenly became subtle.
Ge Yuanhui seemed to realize it belatedly and was suddenly stunned. She covered her mouth and said, "Could the person on the bed be... Miss Xue?"
"Of course not." Huo Zhiyu quickly retorted: "Sister Zhiyi is not such a careless person!"
But Concubine Ge's face was filled with anxiety. She bowed slowly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Just in case... I mean just in case. If this incident was really done by Miss Xue, it must have been unintentional. Please be lenient with your criticism, Your Majesty."
"Your Highness is very considerate. She asked for forgiveness before anything was decided."
The one who spoke was Huo Wuyou. Perhaps because she didn't expect him to refute her, the imperial concubine's expression froze.
Huo Wuyou's eyes turned cold. He had just seen Xue Zhiyi pretending to be drunk, so how could he fall into Concubine Ge's trap so easily? He was certain that the person on the bed was definitely not Xue Zhiyi.
Concubine Ge was a little embarrassed: "In that case... we should wake up the person in the bed first."
The Queen Mother's face was already gloomy at this moment. What was damaged today was something she cherished. How could she not be angry? She nodded coldly: "Go."
Hearing this, An Zhaoyi took a few steps forward, wanting to take a look at the person on the bed, but was noticed by Ge Yuanhui. She frowned, worried that An Zhaoyi would do something at this moment, so she hurried forward.
"Empress Zhaoyi, if the younger sister of the Xue family knew about this, she would definitely be scared. I am familiar with her, so let me do it."
After saying that, she stepped onto the bedside step and reached out to pull open the quilt.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart. No matter how Xue Zhiyi had pleased the Queen Mother in the past, he would definitely be disliked after today.
Moreover, Xue Zhiyi was drunk and out of mind, so he insisted that it was she who behaved and spoke indecently after drinking, broke into the study, and smashed the Baixi bottle. A person who is not in mind cannot explain himself even if he has mouths all over his body!
Her hands grabbed the quilt and pulled it open—
But what came into view was a face covered in blood!
"Yun... Yunshuang?"
Her breath was caught and she subconsciously took two steps back, but she forgot that she was stepping on the pedal.
"ah!"
Her feet suddenly felt empty, her ankle twisted on the edge of the step, and she seemed to have stepped on something. Before anyone could react, she fell heavily onto the ground covered with broken jade.
Immediately, the room was in chaos. The maids rushed over, and Concubine Ge also screamed, "Yuan Hui! Yuan Hui, how are you?"
The broken jade was sharp, and the room soon filled with the smell of blood.
But Ge Yuanhui cried out in pain, and she raised her head in a daze. For a moment, everyone was stunned.
She looked at everyone's expressions blankly, and felt her face getting hot. She raised her hand and touched her face confusedly, but suddenly felt a stinging pain on her forehead.
Ge Yuanhui...her forehead was cut by the broken jade, and the wound was bleeding at this moment!
Suddenly, her breathing became rapid and trembling, and her eyes were filled with unprecedented fear.
"My face...my face!"
At this moment, she no longer had any composure. She screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
…
Ge Yuanhui was sent to an empty room for shelter, and the imperial physician was hurriedly summoned. The empress dowager also ordered the palace servants to find Xue Zhiyi first.
Huo Wuyou saw Xue Zhiyi in a pavilion in a remote corner of Jianzhang Palace.
The wind was strong here, and she was sitting in the pavilion to feel the breeze and wake herself up.
"Xue Zhiyi." Huo Wuyou trotted over and called her.
Xue Zhiyi was still feeling a little weak. She looked at Huo Wuyou with sleepy eyes, then propped herself up and stood up: "Greetings, Marquis of Lin'an..."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Wuyou supported her and said, "Sit down. You can't stand steadily."
So the two of them sat down facing each other, only to see Huo Wuyou say, "You seem to be free, hiding here. Do you know how lively the study is?"
The wine had a strong aftereffect. She felt lazy and tired at the moment. She had no intention of responding to Huo Wuyou. She just rubbed her forehead and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Wuyou asked her, "What did you do? You actually made Ge Yuanhui fall and hurt his face."
Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi finally sobered up a bit: "Is your face injured?"
This was beyond her expectations.
As the most beautiful woman in Huajing, Ge Yuanhui was injured on her face, and I'm afraid she would go crazy.
But then she added, "What does it have to do with me? She even tried to disfigure me last time. Should I sympathize with her?"
Huo Wuyou actually felt that her cold and ruthless words made sense: "That's true."
At this moment, the voices of the palace servants came from far away: "Miss Xue San! Miss Xue San!"
Huo Wuyou looked over and saw a group of palace maids looking for Xue Zhiyi.
When he turned around again, he saw Xue Zhiyi lying on the table with his eyes closed.
Pretending to be drunk again.
Huo Wuyou did not expose her, but instead said to the palace servants who came over: "Miss Xue San is drunk here, send her back."
