There was not a single candle in the main hall.
The door is hidden.
Maybe it was too late at night, Xie Nianyao and Tian Xing both fell asleep, and there were no other palace attendants in Fengluan Palace.
Chunhua stepped forward, raised her hand and pushed half of the door open, then froze in place.
There was no moonlight, and there was only a crack of thunder at this moment.
For a moment, bright light illuminated the scene of the main hall, as well as the pale, dead face.
Chunhua screamed and took a quick step back.
Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped at that moment, but her eyes were fixed on Tian Xing's face.
The guard heard the noise and ran in quickly, also shocked: "Why is he dead?"
Of course it couldn't be Chunhua. She had only been in for a moment, and she didn't even hear her voice clearly.
There was a sound in the hall, probably from Xie Nianyao who was woken up.
Xie Nianyao was already crazy. When she saw Chunhua, she still yelled: "Bitch! What are you doing here!"
Then he seemed to see Tian Xing, and he actually raised his leg and kicked her over: "Damn girl, why are you pretending to be dead?"
But Tian Xing was still lying on the ground, silent and his limbs had become stiff.
——She has been dead for a long time.
It was the maid who died, and the guard regained his composure: "I saw her walking around the courtyard during dinner, why did she die now? It's bad luck."
"Dead?!" Xie Nianyao knelt down and slapped Tian Xing on the face: "Why are you dead? Wake up! Wait for me to dress up, His Majesty will be here soon!"
Chunhua held the door, her voice trembling: "Did you... kill her?"
"Kill her?" Xie Nianyao turned her head and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty killed her! She deserves to die! You bitches deserve to die! Cheng Ning deserves to die the most!"
Chunhua suddenly rushed over and pushed Xie Nianyao away: "Stop fighting!"
The dead people were cold all over.
After all, Tian Xing and Xie Nianyao grew up together, but Xie Nianyao did not regard her maid as the same person.
Even though Tianxing had done wrong things in the past, she had harmed others in this way and that.
But now she is dead, silently.
The empress asked her to find Tianxing but she hadn't gotten what she wanted, but the man died.
Who killed Tianxing?
Who...is going to silence her?
Chunhua didn't dare to think about it anymore. She hurriedly closed Tianxing's eyes and swayed when she stood up.
Something terrible comes to mind.
She stepped out of the main hall door and saw two people standing in the courtyard of Fengluan Palace amid lightning and thunder.
Wei Yanzhou, a tall man, and Wang Xi, who held the umbrella for him.
They appear here, silently.
Chunhua originally thought that His Majesty should be sleeping peacefully on the big bed in the main hall of Linhua Palace.
Even if he knew about his coming to Fengluan Palace, it shouldn't be now.
But now, it seems that there is no need to ask whose work Tianxing’s death was.
Her knees weakened and she fell to her knees.
The guard was also shocked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Why is Your Majesty here? !
Soon someone held a lamp and illuminated the square yard of Fengluan Palace.
When Xie Nianyao saw Wei Yanzhou, she was pushed to the ground by Chunhua and got up in surprise: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you have come to see me. I know that your Majesty is reluctant to part with me."
Wei Yanzhou did not move. When Xie Nianyao was about to touch the corner of his clothes, Wang Xi kicked her.
Xie Nianyao rolled in the rain. She was mad and angry: "How dare you kick me! You old slave, old eunuch!"
Wang Xi just lowered his eyes with a calm expression.
Soon someone came forward, escorted Xie Nianyao into the house, and closed the door tightly.
Xie Nianyao's constant yelling and cursing voice was the background, and the rustling rain sounded like a life-threatening ghost.
When Wei Yanzhou opened his mouth, Chunhua thought that he was going to die silently.
"Won't you explain it?"
Chunhua kowtowed to the ground and didn't lift it up again. Her whole body was soaked by the rain.
"My slave, my slave, had a problem with the deposed queen, so I came in the dark of night and wanted to take revenge. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
No matter what, it was impossible for her to confess Cheng Ning.
Fortunately, she didn't have time to say anything. As long as she refused to admit it, Cheng Ning would not be involved.
But she missed thinking that if Wei Yanzhou had not become suspicious of Tian Xing, how could she have died here silently.
How could he appear in Fengluan Palace in the middle of the night?
"Really?" Wei Yanzhou looked at the guard: "What do you think?"
"Little one, little one is guilty!" The guard didn't know the situation. He only knew that he was caught by the emperor for favoritism.
He knelt on the ground and shook himself into a sieve, hesitating and unable to speak.
"This slave just borrowed my name from the queen and begged the guard to let me in. It's all my fault. Please don't punish him."
"I can't protect myself, yet I'm still interceding for others."
Wei Yanzhou chuckled, but his smile obviously did not reach his eyes, like a bonfire burning in his eyes.
"How do you feel when you see a dead person?" Wei Yanzhou pointed with his big hand, and the door of the hall was closed, but everyone knew that Tian Xing was lying there.
Chunhua's whole body was trembling, and she felt that soon, she would be like a sweet apricot, lying there with no peace of mind.
Maybe she would be even worse. His Majesty would not let Cheng Ning see her like this.
Maybe like Xie Qingyi, he would be thrown into a mass grave and allowed to be eaten away by wild dogs until only the bones were left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"It seems that you are already thinking about your own death," Wei Yanzhou said interestingly: "The deposed queen has gone crazy. Do you really think that I will believe that you are here to seek revenge?"
Don’t believe it?
Chunhua's fingers were bleeding on the ground. She was thinking, what should I do? How could I make His Majesty suspect the Empress?
"Cheng Ning didn't tell you what happened to Tianxing, right?" Wei Yanzhou changed the subject: "Don't she hide many things from you?"
Chunhua was stunned.
"I find it ridiculous that I go to such trouble to hide it for her." Wei Yanzhou continued: "I thought she was pregnant with a child, so I was tied up and didn't dare to do anything?"
Another bolt of thunder flashed across, illuminating Wei Yanzhou's face that looked like Yama.
Chunhua just took a hasty look, and this glance made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.
"I just came to verify how many things she found out through Tianxing."
Wei Yanzhou slowly knelt down, his boots soaked by the splashing raindrops, and suddenly grabbed Chunhua's neck.
Unable to breathe for a moment, Chunhua was forced to look at those cold eyes.
It turns out...he knows everything.
It turns out that His Majesty was already suspicious of the Empress.
So what was he trying to hide after he killed Tian Xing?
A terrible suspicion amplified in Chunhua's heart, and her eyes kept widening.
But she didn't even dare to struggle, let alone express any begging for mercy.
Wang Xi lowered his head and looked at her with compassion in his eyes.
The rain continued to fall.
"If you die, I have a thousand reasons to explain to her. I can even pretend that you were killed by Xie Nianyao. I can pretend not to know what she wanted to do or what she wanted to convey through Tianxing."
He's dead anyway, and dead people can't speak anyway.
Another voice came from outside the door: "Really? What if she already knows."
