After speaking, Qi Jueyu realized that he had overreacted. He hurriedly covered it up with a smile and added, "What I meant to say was that a servant in the residence had been scolded by me previously. In a moment of indignation, he faked a wolf's paw print in my room in order to frighten me as revenge. Later, it somehow spread outside and through the storyteller's mouth. The more it spread, the more outrageous it became. There were really people who believed it. Little eunuch, please be sure to tell His Highness that there has never been a wolf demon, let alone the so-called ominous. His Highness, please don't listen to others' slander! "
"So that's how it is. This servant will save it."
Qi Juanyu forced a smile and gathered a strand of loose hair on her temples, "I was indeed shocked today. I feel a little unwell and want to rest for a while. If there is nothing else, little eunuch, please go first."
Ning Shu raised her head and glanced at Qi Juanyu's flickering eyes.
If it is really as you said, then why did you look so flustered just now? What is the blue mark that has accumulated over a long time? What is it that made you so afraid that you can't sleep and toss and turn?
However, Ning Shu knew that since Qi Juanyu didn't want to say it, no matter how many times she asked, she wouldn't get an answer. Therefore, Ning Shu bowed, left the box, and turned to leave.
Before she left, Mama Hui gave her an ingot of gold, which implied that good things come in pairs. Ning Shu weighed the heavy weight in her palm and clicked her tongue. It was at least ten taels. This was an unexpected surprise.
She didn't run for nothing.
Ning Shu walked down the ochre wooden ladder and vaguely heard a few whispers between Qi Juanyu and Mama Hui from upstairs.
"Mama Hui, do you think that this place is so secure, then … that thing can't chase after us?"
"That's natural. This is the Imperial Palace, guarded by the Imperial Qi. That monster won't dare to act rashly. There are also more than a hundred guards sent by Concubine Qi to protect Miss here. It is a hundred times safer than outside. Miss, you can rest assured. In addition, this old servant will always be with Miss. Even if someone really wants to harm you, this old servant will be the first to block in front of you. "
"Then I'm relieved … Mother Hui, I have a headache. I'm going to lie down for a while. Don't call me for dinner, I don't have much of an appetite. Keep a close eye on the rewards from the concubines in the palace. Get someone to pack it up and send it back to the manor. You must not damage it, otherwise it will be a great crime. "
"This is a small matter. Leave it to me."
Ning Shu deliberately slowed down her pace. Finally, she heard the sound of Mother Hui helping Qi Jueyu into the room to rest. Then, she fell silent. While caressing the two gold ingots in her hands, she pondered what the "thing" that Qi Dianyu was so afraid of was.
Monster?
Could it be that there really was such a "wolf demon"?
Walking out of the Fragrant Hall, Ning Shu raised her head outside the hall and looked at the towering palace that was thirty or forty feet high in front of her. It was surrounded by dense palace walls and a whole circle of guards. She thought that if someone really wanted to break in and harm Qi Dianyu, he would have to grow wings.
Thinking of this, Ning Shu turned around and rushed back to the agreed place with Xiahou Qing. But she didn't expect that before Xiahou Qing arrived, she saw Huimo who looked nervous first. Seeing her from a distance, Huimo immediately rushed to her.
"What's wrong?" Ning Shu asked.
Huimo's face was green. He swallowed hard and said, "Shen Xing is dead!"
What?
Ning Shu was slightly shocked. She hurriedly restrained herself and said, "What's the matter? Take me there quickly."
"It's my fault. I was careless."
Standing in front of Shen Xing's body, Huimo gritted his teeth and said guiltily, "Not long after I disguised myself and sneaked into the palace of Old Princess Su, I found that she committed suicide. It must be that when I investigated her before, I was not too careful and leaked the information. She knew it. Before taking the order, Young Master told me to be careful and not to let her commit suicide after she found out. But I still — I'm so useless! "
