Qiao once again, the carriage sped towards the inner palace. Just a moment ago, the bustling palace had already been deserted by Yan Mo Chen's impatient departure. Qiao once again did not notice as they entered through the side door and entered the entrance of the palace.

"Miss, do you live at the Palace?" Qingwu was stunned. This palace had been the emperor's sleeping quarters since the ancient times. She didn't expect the emperor to bestow this palace to her.

Yeah." Qiao Qiao's eyes were still downcast. She was about to talk about the imperial palace. If she were to live in any other side hall, she would find it difficult to get used to sleeping. This Qiqing Palace was deeply infatuated with her.

"The emperor treats the girl very well." Xiu Luan happily smiled and said with a sorrowful sigh.

Qiao once again remained silent. He pursed his lips and smiled before walking into the palace. He then called out, "Dia'Er?"

The hall was empty and there was no response. Qiao Qiao still looked around. It seemed that Die'er had not completed her task.

Thinking of this, she lifted her leg and walked out. Facing Qingwu and Xiu Luan, she said with a slow smile, "I will make a trip to the cold palace. You guys pack up for a bit, I will be back in a moment."

"Cold Palace?!" Qingwu gave a start. Although Miss had already said that she had been sent to the cold palace by the emperor when she first entered, Miss was now the imperial concubine. Why did she need to go to the cold palace?

"Die'er is over there. Today, I arranged for her to stay in the Imperial Palace to take care of the newly blossomed Purple Smoke Flowers in the Cold Palace." Joe continued to smile and, without another word of explanation, lifted his foot and walked out.

Along the way, she was extremely excited. It had been a long time since she had returned to the Cold Palace to check out the lavender flowers. There was also Xiyue and Yingyue.

"Die'er?" As soon as he entered the cold palace, Joe continued to call out to him happily.

In the huge palace, there was still no response.

"Where did this girl go …" Joe kept his head down as he muttered and walked around, looking at the lavender flowers that were slightly blooming in the yard. He had a smile on his face from start to finish.

His steps moved as he walked toward the gravestones of Xiyue and Yingyue. He slowly squatted down and said,

"Xiyue, Yingyue, I've come to visit you two. I hope that the entire courtyard will be filled with Purple Smoke Flowers to keep you two company …"

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still sparkling as her cheeks slightly moved. She was attracted by the corner of a jade green palace dress.

She stood up and ran in the direction of the corner of that piece of clothes. She picked up a corner of her clothes from an unremarkable mound in the corner of the cold palace.

"It's Die'er's clothes!"

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still tightly shut. Why did Die'er's palace attire get torn into pieces? Could it be …

Her gaze was fixated on the mound of earth that had been arched up. According to her impression, this mound of earth did not exist, and the soil on top of the mound that had just been filled was still light and loose. Just now, when she entered the cold palace, all her gaze was focused on the violet incense in the courtyard, so she did not notice this strange mound of earth.

Her eyes were glazed as she slowly moved her feet. Her hands tightly gripped that torn piece of clothing, and one of her hands was already attached to that pile of dirt.

"Don't let anything happen to her! "You must not!"

Qiao Qiao sighed in his heart, but his hands trembled as he dug at the loose soil on top of the pile.

"Miss!" Qingwu's voice came from outside the cold palace but Qiao Qiao still had a face full of panic as he continued to dig at the pile of dirt without hesitation.

Qingwu was startled and immediately ran forward, blocking Qiao Xu and asking worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong?" What happened? "

When Qingwu saw that Qiao Qiao still hadn't returned for a long time, she was afraid that something would happen to the young lady and that she would chase after the Leng Palace. She didn't expect to see such a scene.

Qiao Qiao's eyes remained blank. She could not imagine what she would do if the one buried under the mound was really Die'er!

"Here, here …" Qiao Qiao's hands were still trembling as he pointed at the pile of dirt on the ground and sobbed.

Qingwu was afraid that she had also discovered something, so she bent down to help Qiao Qiao to continue plucking the tall mound of earth.

But after a while, the pile of dirt had already been dug up by Qiao Qing Wu and Qiao Qing Shi. An eye-catching figure rushed into Qiao Qing Shi's eyes.

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still wide open, bloodshot. His body continuously staggered backwards, his lips slightly parted, but he was unable to say anything for a long time.

Even the battle-hardened Qingwu couldn't help but cry out in surprise as she took a step back. She really didn't expect that the person under the mound would actually die in such a miserable manner.

"Auntie …" "Mother!" Qingwu stuttered as she supported Qiao Yifan who had a pale face and was on the verge of fainting.

The only thing that remained in Qiao Qiao's eyes was disbelief. The terrified look in his eyes turned scarlet. The corpse pressed down by the pile of earth was Die'er without a doubt.

She was completely naked and her emerald green clothes had been torn to shreds. There were traces of purple on her entire body, as well as the rows of eye-catching teeth marks on her chest. Even though she had breathed in for a long time, the tears of grievance and despair still lingered in her eyes for a long time.

Qiao Qiao still knew from those eyes filled with grievance and despair that Die'er had suffered a great humiliation before she died.

Her crimson eyes instantly turned cold, and she clenched her fists tightly. Even though her nails had dug into her flesh, she could not feel any pain.

This little bit of pain, this bit of pain, compared to what Die'er had experienced before she died, was nothing!

"Young lady …" Qingwu had a worried expression as she looked at Qiao Qiao who was on the verge of collapse, her hands lightly attached to her shoulders.

Qiao Qiao's tears, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, were finally soothed by Qingwu's words. She hurriedly dropped down and wiped them with both of her hands before saying indifferently, "Help me. Help me send Die'er off."

"Alright." As Qiao Qiao continued to move, she brought out Die'er from the mound.

Qiao Qiao was still simple as ever as he washed her and put on a clean set of clothes before burying her next to the gravestone of Xiyue and Yingyue.

Qiao Qiao was still suppressing the bitterness on his nose as he raised his hand to stroke the words on the gravestone — "Shen Yu Die's Tomb".

She bit her lips tightly, unaware of the blood that was seeping from her lips. She did not say a word, and even after lifting Die'er out, she did not shed a single tear.

Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao who was still in this state, shivering uncontrollably as she stood upright behind her, not daring to say a word.

Qiao Qiao continued to stare blankly at the tombstone for a long time before raising his leg and rushing out of the cold palace.

"Miss!" Qingwu was afraid that something would happen to Qiao Qiao, so she immediately turned around and chased after him.

"Where's Yan Mo Chen?!" Qiao Qiao still extended his hand to grab the eunuch at the side, and said with a stern tone.

"Greetings to esteemed imperial concubine …" The young eunuch was so frightened that he trembled slightly. He stammered, "Today is the emperor's last ceremony. I'm afraid we're probably inside the Phoenix Nest Palace right now."

Qiao Qiao's eyes were still fixed on the eunuch in her hands. She threw him down and walked towards the Phoenix Maiden Palace. She did not notice what the eunuch said about the grand ceremony. At that moment, she only wanted to find Yan Mo Chen.

Outside the palace.

"Empress, Empress, you can't go in, Empress." At the entrance of the palace, two young eunuchs blocked Qiao Qiao's path to the Phoenix Hall with bitter faces.

Qiao Qiao's eyes remained cold. He rudely looked at the two eunuchs and shouted, "Call out Yan Mo Chen, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Empress, this servant is only following orders. Please don't make things difficult for this servant." The two eunuchs lowered their heads. It wasn't that they didn't know how pampered the esteemed imperial concubine was. It was just that she was pampered, so they couldn't easily offend the empress.

"Out of the way!" Qiao still gave a cold glance and raised his leg to rush into the hall.

"Empress, Empress, if you enter, this little one's life will be lost. I hope that Empress will not make things difficult for this little one." The two young eunuchs kneeled down one after the other, repeatedly kowtowing to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao's eyes still swept over the scene. A pair of sharp, almond-shaped eyes shot out. She ignored the two eunuchs' obstructions and rushed towards Phoenix Brothel.

The two eunuchs saw esteemed imperial concubine insist on barging in, so they could only keep their heads lowered. They didn't dare try to stop her anymore, but they could only sigh in their hearts. This esteemed imperial concubine was truly jealous.

After Qiao Qiao once again charged into Phoenix Maiden Palace, he did not hesitate and directly rushed into the inner hall. He saw a woman wearing a phoenix coronet with a jade pearl curtain on her head looking at him with a face full of astonishment.

"You are …?" Qin Wanyin had a delicate expression on her face. She faced Qiao Xuanrui's sudden intrusion without a trace of anger and only stood up in silence, then walked towards Qiao Wan-yin. "You are that elder sister who came with Esteemed Empress Hui to participate in the palace banquet at the Green Lotus Pond that day, right?"

Qiao Qiao still did not look at Qin Wanyin's friendly face. He just looked around and asked indifferently, "Where's Yan Mo Chen?"

Qin Wanyin froze, then said with a guilty look on her face, "So Big Sis came to see the Emperor. The Emperor isn't here with me."

When the voice fell, Qiao Qiao still unhesitatingly lifted her leg and walked out. What she left behind for Qin Wanyin was only a clear and elegant figure.

Qin Wanyin was stunned. Looking at Qiao Qiao's anxious appearance, she felt extremely suspicious. Just as she was about to move to the edge of the bed and continue waiting for the emperor's arrival, she heard the grumbling voice of her personal servant, Zi Su.

"Empress, look at her. She clearly came to your palace to show off her might. Why are you being so friendly towards her?"

The corner of Qin Wanyin's mouth slowly opened, "Now that I've entered the palace for the first time, I shouldn't be making enemies everywhere. Besides, I'm the concubine serving the emperor with Elder Sister Ran, how can I not get along well and let the emperor share his burdens?"

"Empress, you were too kind, so you were bullied like this."

She grew up with Qin Wanyin, so she naturally had a thorough understanding of her young mistress's pure and kind personality. Madam must have been afraid that Miss was too naive and had been bullied in the Imperial Palace, so she sent her along to the Imperial Palace. How could she watch others bully Miss like this?
