"Your Highness …"
"There's no need to inform His Majesty. This man left her body here so openly. It's obvious that he wants the people in the palace to find it. It's almost dawn. Let's return to the palace first. Otherwise, people will be suspicious."
She felt that what she said made sense. Plus, the harem was a place of trouble.
Shuang Xi nodded heavily.
"Your Highness is smart. This servant will listen to you."
...
Nighttime.
It was a sleepless night.
Shen Yueji returned to Phoenix Perch Palace. Because of what happened on the way, she was no longer sleepy.
Shuang Xi thoughtfully poured a cup of tea for her: "Niang niang, this servant feels that there is something fishy about this matter. Even if we don't tell His Majesty, we should inform the general and Eldest Young Master. Otherwise, we don't know what this unknown monster's purpose in entering the palace is. What if he hurts Niang niang?"
Shen Yueji frowned. "This monster clearly just entered the palace. There has never been a case of a palace maid being bitten in the neck before. Moreover, the palace is heavily guarded. How did he get in? "
"Your Highness suspects that this monster is being manipulated by someone behind the scenes?"
Shen Yueji nodded. "Not only that. Think about it. Why would this monster appear near Diao Yang Palace? Although Diao Yang Palace was abandoned by the previous Empress, there are palace maids and eunuchs cleaning it every day. Moreover, compared to other concubines, there are also palace maids and eunuchs walking around Diao Yang Palace every day. Once something happens or someone dies, the news will spread throughout the palace immediately. "
"Your Highness, you mean …"
"Did someone set their sights on the late Empress and made use of the late Empress's bluff to achieve their own goals?"
"That's right. But who could it be? "
Shen Yueji's previous self had also stayed in the palace for a few days. Other than some concubines who entered the palace earlier, she was from a prestigious family. She would never be related to these two monsters.
Or …
"When does the Prince Regent enter the palace?"
"This servant heard that the Prince Regent enters the palace every day. However, he goes to Diao Yang Palace every time."
"He enters the palace every day?"
Shen Yueji narrowed her eyes, "Mo Wushang's martial arts are strong. Even if he doesn't have an identity, he can still come and go as he pleases in the inner palace. Just now, this consort guessed that this monster had just entered the palace. However, even if it had just entered the palace, it was impossible for it to have set its sights on the Diao Yang Palace so quickly. This must have been premeditated. "
"This two-headed man has long been hiding in the harem."
"Niang niang, this servant remembers. When this servant passed through the Imperial Garden, this servant even heard the people in the palace say that two palace maids had disappeared for no reason at Diao Yang Palace. Because their statuses were low, Steward Li suppressed this matter for fear of alarming His Majesty. There are also people who speculate that the palace maid did not serve well and was sentenced to death by the Regent. "
"So you're saying that Mo Wushang knows about this?"
"Your Highness suspects the Regent?"
"No."
Shen Yueji shook her head and said, "I'm only suspecting that he might know something about this matter. I'm not suspecting that he's the mastermind."
"Why?"
Double Happiness was puzzled.
"If Mo Wushang really knows about this, then the two-headed man has indeed entered the palace for a long time. Moreover, we saw him make a move near Diao Yang Palace. He had the intention to expose the palace maid's corpses to the public."
