"After I entered the palace, I asked around to see if there were any taboos in the harem. I'm a coward and have nightmares since I was young. Every time I had a nightmare, it seemed real and fake at the same time …"
Her fingers were trembling.
Even her teeth were chattering.
She didn't dare to raise her head and stared at the ground. She knew that Shen Yueji's gaze was on top of her head, so she didn't dare to raise her head.
"This concubine … This concubine knows that something strange happened in Diao Yang Palace some time ago. His Majesty executed those people who were gossiping and the rest kept their mouths shut. However, this concubine still found out …"
At the mention of this, her frail body began to tremble again.
"The way the late Empress looked when she died … her face was covered with nails … Imperial Concubine, you must save me …"
Wu Zhaoyi raised her head with tears streaming down her face. She looked at Shen Yueji pleadingly with her teary eyes.
"I … I … Last night, Xiao Yu went out to make tea for this servant, but after he went out, he never came back. I had a nightmare and tossed and turned in bed. I couldn't fall asleep because of fear. I thought that Xiao Yu had gone out for so long, so I went to look for her … In the end … In the end … "
Recalling the scene of Xiao Yu's tragic death, her voice was filled with endless despair and fear. She buried her face in her hands and said, "Xiao Yu died outside the hall. Her face was full of nails. Her limbs were dismembered. Her skin and flesh were peeled off, hanging loosely on her bones. There was a pool of blood. Her eyeballs … Her eyeballs were half hanging … hanging on the ground …"
Wu Zhaoyi covered her face: "She … she …"
"After Wu Zhaoyi entered the palace, did she offend any concubines in the harem?"
Someone deliberately plotted to murder her maidservant and purposely made her look like this to scare her. It was not strange at all.
"No … No …"
Wu Zhaoyi shook her head: "Imperial Concubine, ever since I entered the palace, I've always abided by my duties and never dared to cross the line. I've never been in contact with any concubines in the harem. I've always been alone. I've never offended anyone."
"This servant didn't dare to tell His Majesty about this. Ever since the death of the late Empress, His Majesty had suppressed all the rumors about the late Empress. No one was allowed to mention it again. Moreover, the late Empress was the Empress' elder sister, so this servant didn't dare to tell her anything. This servant was afraid that the Empress would say that this servant was talking nonsense and kill this servant … This servant had no choice but to look for Imperial Consort Niang and beg Imperial Consort Niang to save this servant …"
"Xiao … Xiao Yu … After Xiao Yu died … she … she crawled up from the ground with her broken limbs. The eyeball that had fallen to the ground glared at me … she said … she said …"
Wu Zhaoyi's body trembled violently. "She said … Imperial Concubine, her corpse climbed up from the ground and could still talk to me. She said she's back, she's back for revenge. She's going to kill all the women in the harem … She …"
The moment she said those words, she felt as if she had lost all strength in her body because of her fear.
It was as if her soul had been sucked dry.
She was afraid that Shen Yueji wouldn't believe her words and would think that she was talking nonsense. After calming down for a long time, she slowly found her voice. She stretched out her arm and rolled up her long sleeves. It could be seen that there were countless scratches on the back of her smooth hand.
It was as if those sharp nails had scratched her flesh, and those wounds had already turned purple.
They were green and long. Some places were swollen.
