The personal maid Qiulan carefully poured her a cup of hot tea:
"Empress, the emperor may be really busy. I haven't heard of any palace where the emperor went to sit recently."
Su Yue frowned. "You don't understand."
In the past, no matter how busy he was, the emperor would always come to sit with her. He would spend most of the time in her palace every month.
But now, she clearly felt that he was avoiding her.
When did it start?
It seems like... a party?
Yes, he had been avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally since the banquet.
Su Qiao!
It's all because of this bitch Su Qiao's nonsense.
A strong murderous intent flashed in Xing's eyes, and her nails dug into the palm of her hand.
"Empress..."
Another personal maid, Qiuyu, hurried in.
Su Yue restrained his murderous intent and swept over coldly. "What's the matter? You're so flustered."
"Empress, our people... our people found the body of Nanny Gui at the mass grave."
Qiuyu was out of breath from running, and in the early spring weather, he was actually sweating.
"What?"
Su Yue was shocked and stood up, "How did she die?"
Qiuyu gasped for breath and said quickly, "She broke her head and seemed to have hit the wall and committed suicide."
"Death by suicide?"
How could he commit suicide?
Is someone forcing her?
But what should she be forced to say?
Nanny Gui is her breast Wet Nurse/Nanny. He has watched her grow up since he was a child, and his relationship with her is extraordinary.
Apart from being heartbroken, Su Yue felt something was wrong.
Everything has been going wrong lately.
She felt inexplicably panicked.
"Empress..." Qiulan frowned, a little worried.
After a while, Su Yue regained his composure and sat down again. "Help me bury Wet Nurse/Nanny properly."
"Yes." Qiulan secretly shook his head towards Qiuyu who was still about to speak, and walked out Imperial Bedchamber.
The girl next to her Wet Nurse/Nanny suddenly died. Who was the person behind it and what was their purpose? Su Yue searched for several days but could not find out.
But the emperor avoided seeing him and didn't even say a word of greeting.
Rumors have spread vaguely in the palace, saying that Empress violated the emperor's taboo and offended the emperor.
Imperial Concubine in each palace no longer stayed in their own palaces as before, but began to come out frequently for activities.
Imperial Study Over there, snacks and soup are delivered non-stop every day.
On the Phoenix Perch Palace's side, Su Yue fell into unprecedented panic and difficulty.
When Su Baiwen came back again, it was already two Heavenly Empress nights.
Unfortunately, the Gu Worm he brought back still failed to become the Cup King.
Su Qiao is a little disappointed.
Ye Jinghua didn't like to see her frowning, so he pondered for a moment,
"I sent people to Lingnan. The woods there are filled with miasma all year round and there are many poisonous things."
"Okay."
That's all.
Although the journey is a bit long and the round trip would take at least a month, there is nothing we can do.
Ye Jinghua tapped his fingers on the table. "Okay, don't be upset. Aren't you hungry?"
"By the way, I haven't had my midnight snack yet and I almost forgot. It's really inappropriate."
Su Qiao slapped his forehead and quickly sat down at the dining table obediently.
Fifteen quickly greeted several other people and put the prepared meals on the table.
Su Baiwen looked at my sister sitting at the table obediently, waiting for food, and felt a headache.
He quickly moved a chair and squeezed in between the two of them, "Sister, you are a big girl now, you should keep your distance from him."
"Keep it up."
Su Qiao's long eyelashes fluttered, and he stretched out his hand to measure the distance between himself and Ye Jinghua: "Look, we are so far apart."
In the past, her men always leaned against her as if they had no bones.
Now, I haven't even held hands.
Isn't this called keeping a distance?
