C69 (2/2)

Seeing this, Senior Servant Qi looked over at the palace maid, who tacitly tied the white silk to the ceiling beams. Soon after, the two eunuchs struggled to carry Sang Xiang's corpse and hung it heavily on the white silk ribbon.

His proficient technique seemed to be extremely efficient and he didn't waste any time. It was as if he had been doing it frequently and was not the least bit surprised by it.

After finishing everything, Senior Servant Qi nodded her head in satisfaction. A trace of a disdainful smile appeared on her lips, and she took another deep look at the wangfei lying on the ground before bringing everyone else and leaving.

After everyone left, the cold wind rustled in the dead cold palace. However, there was no sound of the mournful female crying, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

Jun Mohan carried Bai Zhixi and gently floated down from the roof, steadily landing on the place where everyone was standing just a moment ago.

Looking at the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he squatted in front of her and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

”What are you doing?”

Seeing him do this, Bai Zhixi could not help but ask. What he had just seen was still fresh in his mind, and he still felt a lingering fear. Even though he already knew that the palace was a place where one ate people without spitting out their bones, it was still difficult to accept it after personally witnessing it.

”Cough …” ”Cough, cough …”

Suddenly, a weak cough broke the silence. Bai Zhixi turned his head abruptly, only to see that the passed away Concubine Ling had come back to life. Seeing Jun Mohan, a drop of tears flowed down her smooth and clean face, as she excitedly held his hand, her lips slightly parted, as if she was saying something.

Bai Zhixi did not think too much and quickly ran over. But when she saw her, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and turned pale with fright. She kept backing away as she sputtered words from her mouth.

”Ah …” Ah … Ye Shixue, are you human or a ghost? Don't come over, I didn't kill you, they forced me to do this. It's none of my business, I don't know anything … ”He doesn't know anything.”

Your wife no longer looked like she was a madman just now, but after seeing Bai Zhixi, she started to spout nonsense. He was extremely excited as he spat out a mouthful of black blood. With a roll of his eyes, he completely left this world.

Ye Shixue, isn't that your mother's name?

Bai Zhixi, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly regained his senses, grabbed onto his Fei Fei's tattered clothes and shook it with all his might, attempting to wake her up and continue speaking.

”Hey, wake up!” What's going on? Who caused my mother's death? ”

However, the lifeless Mu Fei lay motionless on the ground, lifeless. The only response was the rustling sound of the cold wind blowing into the cold palace.

Bai Zhixi sat on the ground in dejection, her beautiful eyes glazed over and her tears instantly filled her eyes. Seeing her like this, Jun Mohan frowned and hugged her tightly.

According to the intelligence they gathered, her parents had both died in that riot back then, so much so that not even their bones were left. Right now, what was buried at Phoenix Mountain was just a false reputation.

Yet today, she heard someone say that her parents didn't die in the war, but were instead murdered by someone else. How could she not be excited?

”Xi Er, since we are still in the palace, and the enemy is in the shadows, we should hurry up and leave. As for the matter with Auntie Xue, it won't be too late to investigate later. ”

That's right, she was still in the palace. The person behind the news of her death must have already found out and sent someone to investigate. If she found out, not to mention finding out the truth and avenging her mother, she might not even be able to save herself.

This kind of situation where one knew that their mother died unjustly, yet did not know who their enemy was, made them feel complicated and agitated. However, they still walked out of the cold palace after hearing Jun Mohan's words.

As they expected, a few eunuchs came in a moment. After finding out that your concubine had died, they looked at each other and left in a hurry.

In the desolate and clean palace, the cold wind dried her tears. Without a word, she walked in the direction of the main hall.

After returning to the main hall, the two of them split up. Now that the Crown Prince had chosen to be his consort, it would be disadvantageous for both of them if they didn't continue to gossip.

Bai Zhixi sat in her seat without saying a word, with red eyes, causing the men around her to look at her strangely, but she ignored them all and continued to drink her wine gracefully.

Not long later, the gloomy-looking Jun Mohan walked in lazily and headed straight to his position.

Seeing the two of them coming back at the same time, everyone guessed that maybe Bai Zhixi had expressed her feelings to them and rejected them.

Some of the more daring women directly scolded Bai Zhixi in hushed tones. They were actually trying to eat the swan meat like a toad, delusional enough to climb onto the incomparably noble Prince prince in their hearts.

But the empress and the emperor already knew that their wives had been ruined by the loss of their high position, so they were worried about the same thing.

Dong Aoqing revealed a bitter smile, and downed the cup after cup of wine with the envoy. She finally got what she wanted and went to see her good sister, but she still refused to admit her fault, refused to forgive me?

To use alcohol to dispel worry is even more worrisome, sake can only paralyze the nerves but not the heart, but since ancient times worrisome people love the taste of cool and spicy.
