Concubine Yi, still unaware that the maid was dead, said coldly, "Is this how you admit your mistake?"
The accompanying eunuch immediately kicked the palace maid as a punishment.
Unexpectedly, the maid collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and died suddenly!
"Ah!" How could Concubine Yi, who was born into a noble family, have ever seen such a bloody scene?
She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
I glanced at Zhu Xianyue inadvertently, only to see that she was calm and composed. Instead, she was carefully observing the death of the palace maid, as if she was trying to find out the cause of her death...
Concubine Yi: "..."
She didn't want to be left behind.
Now that she is the master of the six palaces, she should show a stronger spirit than Zhu Xianyue.
But... ahhhh, it's really scary. After looking at it for just one moment, I couldn't sleep well for half a year!
Wow, how could Zhu Xianyue be so powerful? Is she still a woman? Perhaps someone has possessed her?!
…
With such a big thing happening, Emperor Sheng Chengye arrived quickly.
It doesn't matter if someone dies in the harem, but this person died outside Furong Palace and died suddenly in broad daylight.
The matter involves two concubines, Concubine Yi and Zhu Da Ying, so he must take charge of the situation.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
All the concubines saluted together.
After that experience of getting along together, Sheng Chengye couldn't help but look at Zhu Xianyue.
She was well-mannered and behaved without making any mistakes, but she lowered her head and did not dare to look the emperor in the face.
She looked like an ordinary little concubine who would not compete for favor.
But... her earlobes were red as if they were about to bleed, obviously because she was excited to see him.
Sheng Chengye thought again of what Zhu Xianyue said that day.
——As soon as he saw the emperor, his palms began to sweat and he was extremely excited.
Her current demeanor is just a disguise.
Little thing, you pretend to be very professional.
The reason why she did not compete for favor was because of her poor family background, and she was afraid that seeing her would remind him of her former master Yi Luo;
Secondly, I don’t want him to worry about the affairs of the harem.
Sheng Chengye imagined a lot of things himself.
And the more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.
My mood became cheerful.
"Everyone, stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
No one noticed that Sheng Chengye's gaze was fixed on Zhu Xianyue.
After everyone stood up, Sheng Chengye returned to his cold and aloof look.
He doesn't care much about matters between men and women.
Concubine Yi knew that she should explain what had happened clearly at this time.
But... she just felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Woo woo woo, dead people are really scary.
Seeing her trembling and unable to speak, Sheng Chengye had no choice but to point to Zhu Xianyue and said, "Zhu promised, you will explain today's events clearly for Concubine Yi."
"Yes. I came to pay my respects to Concubine Yi. Because of my low rank, I was mocked by this palace maid. I was so angry that I taught her a lesson, and Concubine Yi happened to see it."
"Empress Yi also thinks what I did is right."
"The maid then realized she had gotten into great trouble and quickly kowtowed to apologize. Unexpectedly... after this kowtow, she would never be able to raise her head again."
"This matter is indeed strange, and I am the first person involved."
"I am not talented, but I am willing to work with Concubine Yi to thoroughly investigate today's incident!"
Her words are eloquent and her logic is clear.
Not to mention Sheng Chengye, even Concubine Yi admired Zhu Xianyue.
Wow, she is so awesome and bold.
I feel safe only when she helps me, woooo.
Sheng Chengye asked Concubine Yi for her opinion.
Concubine Yi nodded quickly and said, "What Zhu promised is reasonable!"
