Not far from Anjiu's hut, a palace maid was lying on the ground.
It was so cold, I was lying on the ground, and I didn't know if I was still alive.
She took a branch and gently poked the palace maid on the ground.
No response.
An Jiu's heart sank, and he walked around so that he could see the palace maid's appearance clearly.
It’s Xiaohua.
How come she is here?
An Jiu reached out and felt her breath...
That’s all.
Dead.
An Jiu closed his eyes, then ran away...
In tension and extreme fear, An Jiu couldn't say a word. He ran to Guanghua Palace in one breath and met Eunuch Li who was just going out.
“Father-in-law…”
Eunuch Li asked, "Xiaojiu, you know it too, right?"
"Know what?"
Xiaohua’s corpse?
How did Eunuch Li know?
Eunuch Li laughed: "Your Majesty is back."
He patted his chest and said, "God bless you, your Majesty has returned safely."
The emperor is back?
An Jiu only glanced at Guanghua Palace, then retracted his gaze and said to Eunuch Li seriously: "Aunt... no... Eunuch... Xiaohua... Xiaohua is dead."
Eunuch Li smiled gently: "Oh, this child is really confused. It's so cold, of course all the flowers and grasses are dead."
An Jiu looked pale and shook his head: "It's not that Xiaohua, it's the Xiaohua who was guarding the storehouse with Nanny Chang. She's dead."
Eunuch Li also came to his senses. He put away his smile and asked seriously, "Where did he die?"
"It was right in the backyard, right next to my house. I was scared to death." Although An Jiu had not seen many dead people, she swore that nothing frightened her more than a corpse that suddenly appeared at her doorstep in the quiet yard.
"Go and have a look."
Eunuch Li asked Xiao Fuzi to take a few people and go to the backyard with An Jiu.
The backyard was still quiet. Xiao Fuzi asked quietly, "Did someone really die?"
An Jiu nodded: "Absolutely true."
She still feels creepy.
But when they arrived at the backyard, the place where the body was originally placed was empty.
Xiao Fuzi frowned: "Xiao Jiu, where is the body?"
An Jiu also widened her eyes. She looked left and right, as if she could find the body by just looking at it.
"It was right here just now." She pointed to the ground.
Xiao Fuzi comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe she is not dead at all, she stood up and walked away on her own, or maybe someone took the body away."
An Jiu thought about it and nodded: "I'm sure she's dead. Her body is cold and her body is hard."
She paused and said, "Someone must have taken the body away."
Xiao Fuzi thought there was another possibility: Xiao Jiu was too nervous, had been looking for someone all night, and was overworked and dizzy.
Xiao Fuzi said: "Let's go to the warehouse now. If Xiaohua left on her own, she must have gone back to the warehouse."
An Jiu nodded.
The warehouse is not far away, just a few steps away.
When Aunt Chang saw them, she was very confused: "Are you... okay?"
Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, "Eunuch Li wants to ask Xiaohua something. Is she here?"
"Eunuch Li?" Nanny Chang was suspicious: "Why did he look for Xiaohua?"
"Then I don't know. Maybe it was your Majesty who was looking for him."
This was obviously an excuse, but Nanny Chang had no way to verify it.
What if it’s really the emperor looking for you?
She got up and went to where Xiaohua lived, but she looked around but didn't see anyone.
"I don't know where he ran off to." Nanny Chang came back.
Xiao Fuzi looked at her and said, "In that case, if Xiaohua comes back, please tell her to come to Guanghua Palace."
"good."
Xiao Fuzi and An Jiu left.
An Jiu couldn't help but look back, only to see that Nanny Chang had a blank expression on her face and cold eyes, staring at them quietly like a dormant poisonous snake.
After walking a long way, Xiao Fuzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared. What was that look in Madam Chang's eyes just now? She looked like she was going to eat me."
An Jiu: "You felt it too?"
Xiao Fuzi rolled her eyes: "I'm not stupid."
He is also very smart and likable, isn't he?
If he were a woman...
A gust of cold wind woke Xiao Fuzi up, and he said seriously, "I think this little flower might really be missing."
"Can we find it back if it's missing?" An Jiu asked.
Xiao Fuzi nodded and shook her head: "If we are lucky, we can find the body in a well next spring when it stinks. If we are unlucky..."
Xiao Fuzi exhaled: "In such a big palace, it's normal for a few people to disappear."
An Jiu: "..."
She felt like she was going insane from being scared.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Fuzi, An Jiu prepared to go back to his room to change clothes, eat a hot meal, and then take a nap.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she realized something was wrong.
The room was in a mess, as if someone had ransacked it.
An Jiu thought of Xiaohua.
Maybe she sneaked in to look for something while her husband was out, and then met the murderer, and was killed and her body was thrown outside...
An Jiu paused...
murderer……
She was just an insignificant palace maid. It was impossible that some murderer came specifically to kill her.
so……
Could the murderer be a tyrant?
The tyrant escaped last night, and all of them went out to look for him.
But the lights were off. Maybe because they were too anxious and flustered, they ignored Guanghua Palace, not to mention An Jiu's cabin.
The tyrant came, and then met the little flower who stole things...
But is this really the case?
Who took the body away?
The emperor's secret guard? Or someone else?
An Jiu sat on the bed for a while, thinking of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and suddenly remembered something.
"my darling."
An Jiu moved the bed away and saw that the hole at the bottom had indeed been dug open.
All the treasures that the emperor had given her disappeared.
Woo woo woo…
The sky is falling...
…
It was already noon when An Jiu returned to Guanghua Palace.
She ate, put on clean clothes, and took a nap, but she felt even worse.
Who took her baby?
Dead little flower?
impossible.
Xiaohua didn't even take her own body with her.
An Jiu looked at the emperor.
he……
Or a tyrant...
The tyrant is so stubborn, how could he possibly care about these things?
Only the miser and greedy emperor would not do that.
You are the emperor, what do you do with all that money? To be buried with you after death?
The more An Jiu thought about it, the angrier he became.
She was worried about him all night, afraid that something might happen to him.
She also gave him her favorite bear.
What's the result?
The scumbag stole her baby.
Woo woo woo…
As for keeping her wages, it is all the hard-earned money from selling her body and life.
It’s so unethical…
Dog Emperor...
The emperor was reading the memorial with no expression on his face.
An Jiu continued to stare at him, and perhaps because it took too long, the emperor finally noticed.
"Hmm?" The emperor looked up at An Jiu.
[Why is she looking at me?] 】
[Could it be that she really...]
The emperor thought of the small cloth bag beside him when he woke up in the morning.
The cloth bag was filled with his personal belongings.
Hair crown, finger ring, pendant...
this……
Isn't this what he lost before?
Could it be that...
The emperor was shocked.
Great, it turns out Xiaojiu stole so many things from him! ! !
