"You're here..." Concubine Yi was very excited to see her.
"Your concubine pays her respects to Concubine Yi." Zhu Xianyue was still very considerate in her manners.
"Get up, get up. There's no need for formalities between you and me. I'd like to ask you, what do you think about the matter involving the palace maid Ying Gui?"
Concubine Yi held Zhu Xianyue's hand without any airs, and it seemed that she really wanted to work with Zhu Xianyue.
Zhu Xianyue didn't hide it and said frankly, "This matter is quite strange. I have a feeling that this matter is related to the person behind Ying Gui. She is definitely not just a simple maid in Hibiscus Palace."
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to Ying Gui's residence and investigate. Do you agree?"
Concubine Yi immediately agreed: "Okay, okay! I think so too! Let's go to the maid's room and check it out now!"
Actually... she was afraid of ghosts and dead people. She was panicked even in the main hall of Furong Palace, let alone going to Yinggui's residence.
With Zhu Xianyue by her side, she wasn't so scared anymore, hehe.
…
In Furong Palace, three lower-ranking palace maids shared a room.
Concubine Yi was kind and considerate to her servants.
After Ying Gui got into trouble, she personally issued an oral order, asking the two palace maids who originally lived with Ying Gui to choose another place to live.
Now, in this gloomy room, only the things Ying Gui used during her lifetime remain, which makes it look eerie.
When she reached the door, Concubine Yi could no longer hold back.
She tightly grasped Zhu Xianyue's arm, her teeth chattering as she said, "Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu...Concubine Zhu..."
Zhu Xianyue: "..." She almost added, "Your nose has two holes."
"I am here."
"Protect me, protect me!"
"Don't worry, Madam."
"Wow, you're so awesome, so brave, you... you're so big..."
The close contact inevitably caused Concubine Yi to touch places that she shouldn't have touched.
Zhu Xianyue had never been touched by a woman before, and felt a little ashamed and embarrassed for a moment.
Concubine Yi also noticed her embarrassment and quickly moved her hand away.
But...if I don't stay close to Zhu Changzai, I'll be even more scared. What should I do?
"Your Highness, if you are afraid, just wait at the door. I will show you what I found in the room."
Zhu Xianyue's words not only gave Concubine Yi a way out, but also made her feel as if she was in a soft cloud, full of security.
Ah this.
You are so nice.
Concubine Yi looked at her gratefully and then went out.
After about an incense stick of time, Zhu Xianyue also came out, holding a bronze mirror wrapped in a handkerchief in her hand.
"Is there something strange about this mirror?"
The senior palace maid beside Concubine Yi spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Yi glared at him.
Humph, I haven't even had time to talk to Zhu Changzai, why are you so eager?
"Concubine Zhu, you must be tired after working so hard for so long. So, go to my hibiscus tent and rest for a while. When you are rested, we can have dinner together."
"After eating and drinking, let's discuss Ying Gui's matter..."
At that time, I will take the opportunity to let Zhu Xianyue stay in Furong Palace.
With her sleeping with her, she won’t be afraid anymore, hehe.
Concubine Yi also thought about moving to another bedroom after informing Sheng Chengye.
But the head of the Imperial Household Department said, "Your Majesty, is there any palace in the Forbidden City that hasn't had someone die there? Take the Purple Palace, for example. That's where the Emperor lived when he was the Crown Prince. But one day, a palace maid disappeared for no apparent reason..."
"Later, the eunuchs found her body in a side hall."
"The side hall was being renovated at that time."
"The bodies of the palace maids were buried in the wall."
