C15 Empress Is out of Favour

Phoenix and Palace. At night.

The round table made of mahogany was filled with delicacies. Xiao Ruo Yu stood in front of Feng and the palace, and because she had been standing there for a long time, her legs started to feel numb.

"She hasn't come yet?" As time passed, the murderous intent in Xiao Ruo Yu's inky black eyes became increasingly dense.

The male servant beside him stammered, "This …" Your Highness, Her Majesty, she … She went to the bamboo palace! "

"What?" He abruptly turned around and grabbed the male servant's neck, lifting him into the air. The cold expression in his eyes was exceptionally gloomy as it churned about.

His expression changed unpredictably, making it impossible for people to see through his thoughts. "The bamboo palace …" "She actually dares …"

"After the Concubine Xian's death, the empress didn't personally search his clothes, but gave them to a servant. We might as well search them." Jiang Qiuyue carefully sized up the skeleton in the coffin. Other people took several years to decompose into a skeleton, this Consort Xian really was' getting old before she got old '.

Having been mentally prepared just now, her stomach was no longer as nauseating, and she could even observe the corpse carefully.

"But …" Jiang Qiuyue looked at the white maggots crawling around the skeleton's body. Clearly, the meat of Consort Xian was nourishing, so she fed them until they were white and fat.

This... Too disgusting … Jiang Qiu Yue shuddered and felt like throwing up again.

"If only there were insecticides …" Jiang Qiuyue looked up 45 degrees to the sky, and couldn't help but to start reminiscing about the modern day.

In the past, all she had to do was worry about whether she would pass the exam or not and whether her senior liked her. Now, not only did she have to prevent a fire in the backyard, she also had to examine the corpse.

Forget it.

Jiang Qiuyue gritted her teeth and steeled her heart, "Take off Consort Xian's headgear."

It was just a skeleton anyway.

The court ladies covered their noses with one hand and busied themselves for a while before taking off all the clothes and accessories that the man was wearing.

Jiang Qiuyue shook the maggots on her clothes disdainfully. The white maggots fell to the ground, twisting and distorting continuously.

Jiang Qiuyue turned the clothes over and over again. After confirming that there were no maggots and nothing special, she threw them back into the coffin. After all, they were very smelly.

The others were holding a pile of jewelry, hairpin, earrings, and a necklace.

Jiang Qiuyue took the jewelry and was about to study it when a discordant voice came from outside the hall. "Her Highness the empress has arrived —"

Jiang Qiuyue's heart tightened, "Quick, close the coffin."

The palace maids frantically covered the coffins, while Jiang Qiuyue also stuffed the jewelry into her sleeves in a fluster, as if she was a thief.

Just as the front foot destroyed the "crime evidence", the back foot Xiao Ruo Yu walked in.

Under the weak candlelight, the Queen's purple dress shone with a bright light, making the person in front of her look like a god that couldn't be desecrated.

Xiao Ruo Yu swept her eyes around the hall, and saw that although the coffin was still intact, she couldn't hide the maggots that were writhing on the ground.

He revealed an inconspicuous smile. "Chenqie doesn't know that Your Majesty is actually a person who loves corpses."

Pui! Jiang Qiuyue mentally asked all eighteen generations of people, "It's already so late, the empress must be in a good mood coming to the bamboo palace."

"Your Majesty, you must be joking. Your concubine came to the bamboo palace all because of you, your Imperial Majesty." Xiao Ruoyu looked at Jiang Qiuyue with a smile that wasn't a smile. She didn't seem angry from being humiliated like a pigeon.

Oh, I see. It was only then that Jiang Qiuyue remembered that she had put him in the dove.

Thinking up to here, Jiang Qiuyue couldn't help but feel that it was a little wrong, her gaze drifted a bit erratically. "Ah …" That seems to be the case. "

However, she would never have thought that he would personally come to her house. It was probably because he had an ulterior motive.

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, please follow me back to Phoenix Nest Palace. The night winds in the bamboo palace are extremely cold, so Your Majesty shouldn't feel the cold." A sinister gaze akin to that of a venomous snake swept over Jiang Qiuyue's body.

Jiang Qiuyue's smile froze on her face. "Th-no, no. I suddenly remember that I still have a report to report, the empress should rest by herself."

She lowered her head and quickly avoided Xiao Ruo Yu to escape, the palace maid from the Heart Nurturing Hall hurriedly gave chase and left.

Outside the hall, Luo Ying lowered her eyes.

Jiang Qiuyue gave him a look, and he took half a step behind her.

Xiao Ruo Yu didn't move at all as she looked at her departing back with a cold and stern expression.

The people of Phoenix and Peace Palace once again opened the coffin to inspect. "Your Highness, the pearl hairpin on Consort Xian's head has disappeared."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a headdress. What kind of fame could she possibly come up with?" Xiao Ruoyu disapproved, he had long since set the letter of the Consort Xian on fire, Jiang Qiuyue taking the beaded hairpin would have been in vain.

Due to Jiang Qiuyue's desperate escape, news came from the imperial harem the next day — His Majesty had turned the tables and changed his route to the bamboo palace at the last minute. The empress had personally invited His Majesty to not follow him.

As a result, all the concubines in the harem were filled with sighs. The Empress had lost her favor, and a dead man had stolen the favor.

Of course, this was all in the future.
