Shuang Xi scolded her sternly, "How dare you! How dare you make such a ruckus in front of Her Highness? You must be tired of living! "
The little palace maid looked at Shen Yueji behind her helplessly and crawled towards her: "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine, there's really a ghost. I saw it, I really saw it. It's inside … her … her face is rotten, and her … her body …"
The maid didn't dare to recall.
Especially when she thought of the horrifying scene, she trembled in fear.
She couldn't even speak clearly.
"I told you to bring food to Wu Zhaoyi. Where is it?"
"This servant has already sent the food … Yes … Yes …"
She didn't know what was going on. Previously, when she brought food, Wu Zhaoyi would personally receive it with a smile. She didn't know what happened just now. She shouted outside for a long time but Wu Zhaoyi didn't respond. She had to go in by herself.
The side hall was quiet. There wasn't even a shadow. She shouted and looked around but didn't see Wu Zhaoyi. Then, on the bed, she saw a brocade quilt wrapped high.
There was a strange sound coming from inside. She thought Wu Zhaoyi wasn't feeling well, so she went to check without thinking. Who knew … who knew …
The maid's tears flowed even harder, "Her Highness, Her Highness, everything I said is true. It's really a ghost. If you don't believe me, you can go take a look … I … I'm not lying …"
"Alright, then I'll go take a look myself. I want to see if there's a ghost inside like you said!"
Shuang Xi glared at her coldly, "Her Highness, please wait outside for a moment. I'll go in and verify it."
"No need."
Shen Yueji lightly said. She glanced at the crying maid kneeling on the ground. "Pass down my orders. Strictly guard the side chamber. No one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to leave."
"Her Highness?"
"Then send someone to the Imperial Study to inform the Emperor."
Although she didn't understand her intention, Shuang Xi still answered respectfully, "Yes, Her Highness. I'll do it now."
After Shuang Xi left, Shen Yueji looked at the trembling maid, "Don't be afraid. That person is Wu Zhaoyi, not a ghost."
"Wu … Wu Zhaoyi?"
Hearing Shen Yueji's words, the little palace maid was even more afraid.
"In the entire side chamber, there was only Wu Zhaoyi. No other maidservants entered, and you were the only one. Since you didn't see Wu Zhaoyi in the side chamber, and there was only a rotten corpse, who else do you think it could be if not Wu Zhaoyi?"
The little palace maid thought about it seriously and felt even more afraid. Even her body couldn't help but tremble. "Your Highness … is it really … really Wu Zhaoyi?"
She was shocked and scared, her face full of tears. "Wu Zhaoyi … How did Wu Zhaoyi become like this?"
"Did Wu Zhaoyi bump into you when you went in?"
"No … No. When I lifted the quilt, I saw a rotten corpse lying on it. I was so frightened that I ran out in panic. That … that … Wu Zhaoyi didn't even have time to react before I ran away … "
"That's good. You may leave."
"Yes … yes, thank you, Your Highness."
The little palace maid crawled up from the ground in fear. After taking two steps, she turned around and said, "Your Highness, that Wu Zhaoyi is too scary. You must be careful."
The corner of Shen Yueji's mouth curled up slightly. She couldn't help but look at the delicate and pretty little palace maid. Her panicked and scared expression revealed a trace of worry.
"Don't worry. She can't hurt me."
