"I'm guessing that it's very likely that this two-headed monster was indeed targeting Diao Yang Palace and wanted to expose the palace maid's corpse to the public. However, it was later disposed of by someone else. So until now, apart from a few insignificant and lowly palace maids who have gone missing, there are no other disturbances in the harem."
"Did the Regent dispose of those palace maids' corpses?"
Meeting Double Happiness's doubtful eyes, Shen Yueji pinched a piece of pastry and slowly sent it into her mouth.
"How's the qinggong?"
"Very good!"
“....”
"If that's the case, go to Diao Yang Palace again and see if the palace maid's corpse is still there."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
...
"Your Highness!!"
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Double Happiness returned.
She ran in from outside the hall, panting.
"It's gone, it's really gone. This servant went to the place where we were hiding and found that the ground was empty. Not to mention any corpses, even the blood on the ground had been cleaned up by some fresh soil. There was nothing left, and the smell of blood was gone."
"But the person in Diao Yang Palace today is the Emperor. Does the Emperor know?"
Shen Yueji's little hand tapped on the table. "If the Emperor knew, the harem would not be so quiet. Although the Emperor is in Diao Yang Palace, what if the Regent is also there? "
"Your Highness?"
"With the Regent's ability, it's easy for him to not be discovered by the Emperor. It seems that my guess is correct. Some people want to use the death of the late Empress to bluff, while others don't want them to disturb the late Empress' peace. "
Thinking of that cold and handsome face, Shen Yueji's eyes flickered.
Mo Wushang had been guarding her bedroom when she was alive. No matter what happened in the harem or how big the commotion was, he had always been an outsider. Only those who were related to her, he would kill them. However, he only killed some insignificant corpses. As for the mastermind and the two-headed monster, did he already know about it?
But because it was not beneficial to the Emperor, he allowed them to mess around in the harem?
He went against Feng Jiuqing in everything, and the life and death of the harem had nothing to do with him.
There were evil people causing trouble in the harem, but they didn't report it and let innocent people die. This Mo Wushang …
Did they want to rebel?
"Including the palace maids from before and the ones tonight, quite a few have died. The Emperor and the people in the palace still did not know about it. Moreover, every palace maid had died in Diao Yang Palace. If the people in the palace found out, would they misunderstand that it was the ghost of the late empress causing trouble? "
"That's the two-headed monster's goal. There were only a few people who would believe the words' two-headed man 'from our mouths. It was too unimaginable. The palace maid who was bitten to death by the two-headed monster had two bloody wounds on her neck and her face was purple. In the eyes of others, it was obvious that she had been scared to death. As for the wound on my neck … "
Shen Yueji stretched out her hand. Her previous self liked to keep her nails long, but after possessing Shen Yueji's body, she had adapted to the habit of the previous owner of this body.
"If you say that the wounds on their necks were caused by someone strangling them to death with their fingernails, no one would doubt it."
"Your Highness is right. The two bloody wounds on that palace maid's neck, if you don't look carefully, really look like they were caused by fingernails."
Looking up at the dark moonlight outside the hall, Shen Yueji said lightly, "It's almost dawn. Take a short nap. When the sun rises, follow me to Diao Yang Palace."
