"Gao Dezhong."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Set fire to these corpses."
"… Yes, Your Majesty."
...
"Your Majesty burned all the corpses of the palace maids and eunuchs without leaving a single one. Maybe the clues are on them."
Sitting on the dragon carriage, Diaoyang Palace was getting further and further away from them. The thick smell of blood in their nostrils also dissipated.
Shen Yueji carefully looked up at the Emperor who had been silent all the way.
"Does Imperial Consort also feel that this matter is strange?"
"I've never believed in ghosts and gods. Just now, the white shadow that flashed by really frightened me. However, after I calmed down, I guessed that someone was playing tricks in the dark. Deliberately making a commotion? Letting Your Majesty and me think that it was the ghost of the late Empress? Your Majesty and I may think so, but if the palace maids really heard about it, I'm afraid they will really suspect it. "
"It has nothing to do with her."
She didn't understand who he was referring to for a long time.
Until the man looked at her, Shen Yueji clearly caught a flash of pain in his eyes.
So the she he was talking about …
It was her.
"I know Your Majesty's intention. If those palace maids' corpses are left, I don't know what they will become in the future. At that time, even if Your Majesty wants to hide what happened in Diaoyang Palace today, I'm afraid you won't be able to. But … Your Majesty personally destroyed the clues, so it will be difficult to find out who is behind this. If the person behind this is not beneficial to Your Majesty, I'm worried that Your Majesty … "
Feng Jiuqing smiled slightly. "There are countless people in this world who want me dead. Imperial Consort, you don't have to worry. "
...
The dragon carriage stopped outside the Phoenix Palace.
The Emperor watched her get off the dragon carriage, but he had no intention of getting off.
Shen Yueji hesitated for a moment, untied the cloak on her body and returned it to him. "Your Majesty, the wind is cold and dew is heavy at night. If you have other things to do, you should put on this cloak first, so that you won't catch a cold."
Feng Jiuqing reached out to take the cloak she handed over, and his eyes fell on her red and swollen hands. "I lost control and hurt Imperial Consort's hands."
"It's fine."
Shen Yueji grinned and put her hands behind her back without batting an eyelid: "Emperor only needs to remember the promise you made to chenqie. In the future, if you come visit chenqie more often, that would be the best compensation for chenqie."
Feng Jiuqing chuckled and gestured for them to leave.
"Niang niang, this servant felt that His Majesty's smile just now wasn't right."
After the Emperor Dragon carriage was far away, Shuang Xi came up behind her and whispered.
Her heart was in a mess, but she could still smile calmly. It was not easy for Shen Yueji to smile sarcastically.
She stretched her body and walked towards the main hall: "Yue Xiu's corpse has not been found yet, it may be hidden in a corner. Wait until tomorrow, even if His Majesty wants to cover up the matter of Diao Yang Palace, I'm afraid that he won't have the strength to do so."
Double Happiness was shocked when he heard that. He almost forgot about Yue Xiu.
"That's right, Your Highness. Why didn't this servant see Yue Xiu's corpse? Yue Xiu's body was lying there … Prince Regent?! "
In the main hall, a man dressed in a loose black robe was half leaning on the imperial consort's chair. His phoenix eyes were calm and handsome, his face was cold and pale, and his body was tall and thin.
In the middle of the night, he appeared in her Phoenix Palace without anyone noticing and swaggered like this.
