At that moment Zhao Yiqin abruptly rushed forward!
She took the sabre from one of the closest imperial guards and, within seconds, stabbed the stomach of the Flower knight!
It was a pity his sentence was left unfinished, and he died with his eyes wide open. How could she do this? Didn’t she say that she really liked me?!
This was truly an unforeseen event that no one could have anticipated.
Zhao Yiqin’s jade face was stained with blood. She dropped the sword and turned her head to smile at Ye Mu.
“Thank you Miss Ye for your concern for my safety. I have misunderstood you. There actually was a thief!”
She used her own hand to wipe the blood off, before coldly sneering, “But everything is fine now. Since this person is dead, I am safe. If there is nothing else, Miss Ye should go back to the emperor’s side!”
For a split second, Ye Mu was astonished but she quickly recovered her cool. She watched the fire burning not far from where they stood; as it continued to burn, black smoke soared up into the sky. However, not a single person tried to stop the fire. Ye Mu couldn’t help but lightly chuckle.
“Empress Dowager is so decisive. Ye Mu must concede. Since the thief is already dead, then Ye Mu will take her leave. I hope Empress Dowager makes sure to rest up. Don’t let what happened unsettle you.”
After finishing speaking, she left accompanied by the people she brought. Notably, Ye Mu wasn’t feigning her calm demeanor. Obtaining information on Zhao Yiqin’s scandal was actually easier than expected. Since the flower knight from today was of little significance, Zhao Yiqin killed him off to defend herself. Even so, she couldn’t completely hide the truth. They simply have to wait and see!
After Ye Mu left with the guards, Zhao Yiqin’s trusted aides promptly tried to control the flames. However, the fire was too big and nearly destroyed the entire courtyard. Zhao Yiqin glanced over at the corpse on the ground, her eyes holding evil intentions… when suddenly two people came in to drag the dead body away.
“Where are you towing the body?” Zhao Yiqin asked menacingly.
The two servants who were in the process of disposing of the body knelt down! They stuttered, “Tak-taking it to the unmarked burial-mounds…?”
“Idiots!” Zhao Yiqin pointed to the courtyard on the other side and said angrily, “Can’t you see the big fire over there? Just drag it over there and burn it. Don’t leave behind any evidence!”
“Yes, definitely, we will do as commanded!”
The two servants rushed away. Meanwhile, Zhao Yiqin gazed at the sky with slightly warped eyes as the large flame continued to grow.
“Empress Dowager, in this maid’s opinion, it would seem the emperor is watching us intently…”
Zhao Yiqin snorted, “I had assumed the emperor would kill Wen Ze or possibly even engage in conflict with the Wen family to preserve his image. I never would have thought he would outsmart the situation and come up with the method of covering gossip by creating other rumors. He is truly vile!”
“Then, what should we do now?” asked the senior maid with a frown.“That Ye Mu is also not an easy person to handle. She relies on the emperor’s limitless doting, such that she isn’t afraid of doing anything. Whoever dares to obstruct her path would be beaten down regardless of the laws. How can that be considered proper? For us, she is truly a big obstacle.”
