However, that guy Luo Bai is quite capable. A suspicious flush crossed his face as he quickly groomed himself under Cui Ling's service before heading out. When Yun Zhi Yue was to be carried out, covered with a white cloth, Cui Ling stood in front of her. Dealing with corpses like this was considered bad luck.
This girl has indeed started to treat her like a sister. It was inconvenient for her not to have anyone to rely on; if she were sincere, it wouldn't be bad to work together in the depths of the palace.
"Your Consort greets Your Majesty." The Emperor's mood lightened slightly upon seeing her enter.
"At ease, sit down. We will discuss things once the investigation results are out." Even if a palace consort were dead, she should not be disrespected.
Unfortunately, during this trip to Xing Gong, Xu Wanyi's father, the current Minister of Revenue Xu He, was also present. Tears streamed down his face as he stubbornly refused to admit that his legitimate daughter had drowned after falling into the water. He insisted on an investigation; after all, he was a high-ranking official, and the Emperor couldn't obstruct him—this was the pain of losing a daughter.
Fang Jieyu soared into the sky but looked somewhat pale as she nestled in the Emperor's embrace, even pushing aside the highest-ranking noble consort in Xing Gong.
Occasionally, she exchanged glances with the noble consort; in Yun Zhi Yue's eyes, it was as if daggers were drawn between them.
Due to the involvement of high-ranking officials, there were still many ministers present in the room, including Feng Yu among them. From the moment Yun Zhi Yue entered, she felt his gaze lingering on her. When she raised her eyes, their gazes met.
Luo Bai stood behind the Emperor in a high position and took in this scene.
[Strategy value: I say Yun Zhi Yue, could this Feng Yu still be that guy from the celestial realm? Do you have some connection with him?]
Yun Zhi Yue feigned surprise and replied, "What celestial guy? What are you talking about?"
[You really don’t know? It’s Yue Tong, Nie Yi, Shen Le Qi—they're all the same person. Most likely he's causing trouble for your target. It’s normal if you don’t recognize someone of that level. Feng Yu is probably also him, but Shi Ye finds it strange; this person seems to prefer entangling with you rather than harming your target.]
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes flickered slightly: [Could it be that he realized I'm here to save the target and chose not to kill me directly but instead opted for a roundabout way?]
[Wow, you’re sharp! Why didn’t Shi Ye think of that? The target is a wandering soul; not just anyone can act against them. You must keep Shi Ye stable—he can't be killed or entangled. You are Meng Po; you have ties to the underworld.]
[Rest assured about Little Stone; Ben Meng Po has no intention of changing units or stirring up trouble.]
Hearing this, the Reincarnation Stone felt much more at ease and fell silent; at present, it truly couldn't leave her side.
Yun Zhi Yue smirked softly; she had no intention of returning to the Heavenly Realm. That was precisely why she cherished her position as the Keeper of Souls. She needed a place to belong, to avoid feeling utterly pitiful.
For a moment, her eyes dimmed as they met Feng Yu's gaze. Feng Yu grew increasingly curious about this feeling of being deeply hurt—was it because of him? It was a strange sensation, yet it rooted itself deep within her heart.
Outside, someone reported, "Your Majesty, based on the stiffness of the body and the traces found, Xu Wanyi's cause of death is indeed drowning. However—"
Minister of Revenue Xu He, with a face full of sorrow, interrupted urgently, "However what? Please explain clearly!"
The messenger braced himself and continued, "However, there are signs of a heavy blow to the back of Xu Wanyi's head. We cannot rule out the possibility that she was attacked and fell into the water to drown."
"Your Majesty! Did you hear that? My daughter was murdered! I implore you to investigate where Yun Ji was last night!"
The Noble Consort chuckled lightly, though a hint of anger crossed her face. "You are being unreasonable. Although the Minister holds a high position, he cannot casually accuse a consort. What does Yun Ji have to do with this?"
Yun Zhi Yue remained expressionless. "What does it matter? Isn't it clear to you, Sister? In this harem, what can be concealed from you? For instance, when Consort came to Kui Shui—didn't you know everything like the back of your hand?"
