Following Dai Meiyue's order, this maid came to investigate the activities of Fengyi Palace.
Dai Meiyue thought nothing would happen, and even if she was discovered, Concubine De would be fine.
But I never expected that Concubine De's actions would be so decisive and ruthless.
The next moment, Jiang Xiawei waved her hand and signaled the two Jinyi guards to take the person out.
After the two royal guards took the maid away, Jiang Xiawei gently closed the door.
There were bursts of lightning in the sky, and the entire Fengyi Palace lit up for a moment.
Boom!
Thunder sounded, and the maid's life came to an end.
The Jinyiwei put away the embroidered spring knife, and then the other one directly put the maid's body into a sack and transported it out.
"Sister-in-law, what should we do next?"
"Do you need to arrange it in advance?" Jiang Xiawei asked.
"No, we can just wait and watch the show."
"I guess the next step, when Dai Meiyue sees someone missing, she will immediately put suspicion on us."
"We all agreed that we had not seen this person," said Concubine De.
Later, Jiang Xiawei ordered this matter to be kept completely confidential.
…
At this time, it was past midnight, and Dai Meiyue was still waiting in the mansion for the return of the maid who had gone out to inquire about the news.
"That's not right. Logically speaking, you should return at this time." Dai Meiyue said doubtfully.
"Will the people from Fengyi Palace find out?" a maid next to Dai Meiyue guessed.
"If this is the case, it shouldn't have taken so long."
"I really don't believe what Concubine De will do to the swallow." Dai Meiyue said.
Yanzi was the name of the maid who had been killed, but at this time, there was no such person in the harem.
"Dai Jieyu, please go and rest first."
"If the swallow comes back, I will call you," the maid said.
Dai Meiyue had no other choice but to nod in agreement.
Soon, the time came to the next morning, and there was a knock on the door.
The maid thought it was the swallow returning and immediately went to open the door.
But they discovered that the person who came was not Yanzi, but Concubine Rong's personal maid Xiaorou.
"Dai Jieyu woke up?" Xiaorou asked.
"Is the swallow back?"
At this moment, Dai Jieyu heard the sound and walked out of the room.
But after discovering that the visitor was Xiaorou, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Dai Jieyu, Concubine Rong has something to tell you."
"During this period, please Dai Jieyu stay in the house and never provoke Concubine De again." Xiaorou said.
Seeing Dai Meiyue's Sima expression, Xiaorou felt something bad in her heart.
"Dai Jieyu, what happened?" Xiaorou asked immediately.
"It's too late."
"Last night I sent Yanzi to Fengyi Hall to inquire about Concubine De, but she has not returned yet."
"Maybe he has been imprisoned." Dai Meiyue said weakly.
Until now, Dai Meiyue still didn't think that Concubine De would really kill Yanzi.
"At this time, let's report it to Concubine Rong first, and let Concubine Rong come up with a solution."
"If Concubine De really imprisons Yanzi, then things will be a little troublesome." Xiaorou said.
"Thank you."
Xiaorou immediately returned to Yaohua Palace and informed Concubine Rong of the matter.
When Concubine Rong heard about this, she was angry and anxious.
"Damn, it's still a step too late."
"The same goes for Dai Meiyue, it's like she has no brain."
"Fengyi Palace is surrounded by imperial guards and Jinyi guards. How dare you send someone there!"
Concubine Rong threw the embroidery in her hand on the table and said angrily.
"Empress, what should we do now?" Xiaorou asked.
"What should we do? Before Jiang Qiulu knows about this, quickly ask Dai Meiyue to go to Fengyi Palace to ask for someone."
"If the delay continues, I cannot guarantee her life." Concubine Rong said.
When Dai Meiyue learned that Concubine Rong asked her to go to Fengyi Palace as soon as possible to ask for someone, she immediately set off to Fengyi Palace.
He also knew in his heart that if Jiang Qiulu knew about this matter, he would also be implicated.
In Fengyi Hall, Concubine De and Jiang Xiawei were drinking tea in the pavilion.
At this moment, a royal guard came over.
"Empress, Mr. Jiang Qi."
"Dai Jieyu asks for an audience," Jin Yiwei reported.
"Look, what I said."
"Isn't it coming?" Concubine De said with a half-smile.
"Let her in."
"promise!"
After a while, Dai Meiyue hurriedly walked in. Seeing her anxious look, Concubine De and Jiang Xiawei raised the corners of their mouths slightly at the same time.
"Why did Dai Jieyu come to see me?" Concubine De did not look at her, but continued to play with the white jade tea set on the table.
Seeing Concubine De's attitude, Dai Meiyue suppressed her anger.
"Queen, there is something I want to know."
"Last night, my maid, Yanzi, stayed away all night. I wonder if your Majesty knows about it?"
Hearing this, Concubine De stopped what she was doing and finally turned her head to look at Dai Meiyue.
"Your person is missing, what does it have to do with me?"
"You mean, I captured your maid?" Concubine De said coldly.
"Your Majesty, someone from the harem is missing. If His Majesty is alerted, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"If Yan Zi really did something wrong, please ignore the past grudges and let her go."
"When I go back, I will discipline my concubine well."
Now that Concubine De is the superior, even if Dai Meiyue is dissatisfied, she must abide by the most basic principle of respect and inferiority.
The words clearly contained a pleading meaning.
However, now that everyone has been killed, Concubine De will definitely not buy it.
"Dai Jieyu's words confirm that it was me who captured your maid, is that right?"
Concubine De stopped arranging the tea sets, then stood up and walked to Dai Meiyue.
Concubine De was already taller than Dai Meiyue. Faced with such a condescending attitude, Dai Meiyue became a little nervous.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can check it out in Fengyi Hall of this palace."
"Let's see if your maid is hiding here."
"But I've been telling you ugly stories ahead of time. If you can't find out, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Queen, what happened to make you so angry?"
At this moment, a strange voice came.
Concubine De knew without looking that this person must be Concubine Rong.
"Empress, Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong..." A Jin Yiwei who came behind wanted to explain something, but Concubine De raised her hand to stop her.
"It's okay, you can go down."
After sending away the Jin Yiwei, there are only four people left here.
"It turns out that Concubine Rong is here."
"That's right. I heard from Dai Jieyu that her maid is missing."
"Dai Jieyu thought that I had captured her maid. No, she came here to question her." Concubine De said.
"You are so brave!" Concubine Rong scolded immediately.
However, it was not Concubine De who scolded her, but Dai Meiyue.
"How dare you hit the Queen and you want to ask for a crime?"
"Aren't you afraid that the Queen will punish you for your crimes if you are so ignorant of dignity?" Concubine Rong continued to scold.
