C91 death without proof

After all, there were many things within the imperial harem that he, as a servant, could not discuss about without thinking. However, he had excluded these two possibilities.

As for the mama in charge, she had heard that someone had died in the well since early in the morning and hurried over. If it wasn't something major, she wouldn't have bothered Your Majesty.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid. Find a few quick people and fish up the corpses." Compared to the shock of the other maids, Steward Mammy was not afraid of danger. After all, he had seen this kind of thing happen a lot in the harem.

Steward Mammy turned his head back and comforted the crowd. After all, this was the first time the maids had experienced such a thing and they could not help but be frightened.

Sun Ning squeezed forward a few steps, but the uneasiness in his heart became even more obvious.

I hope it's not such a coincidence.

"Steward Mammy, we heard early in the morning that something happened. Which pitiful girl is it?" Sun Ning took two steps forward, and the maids and eunuchs surrounding him dodged to the side. After all, the status of Sun Gonggong was different from them.

"Aiya, Sun Gonggong, what wind brought you here?" Steward Mammy was at the side summoning people, and when he looked, it was Sun Gonggong.

"Which palace do you belong to?" Sun Ning glanced at the well, but he could not see it clearly, so he turned and asked Steward Mammy.

"Sigh, isn't this Zi Xin? I don't know what's wrong with that pitiful girl, but she probably thought of her master. As if to meet the occasion, the manager's nanny even used the handkerchief in her hand to lightly wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes.

The senior servant girl in charge sighed, "What a coincidence, today a servant came to fetch water from the well, but she did not discover Zi Xin's corpse. That servant was rather frightened, sigh, I hope nothing happened."

"So it's like that. What a coincidence." Sun Ning chatted with the Steward Mammy for a while longer. After all, he had understood everything, and only felt a bit of regret. However, it was at the right time for him to die.

Now, it could be considered as a lead that had been cut off again. Originally, he had wanted to look for Steward Mammy to ask him about some things, but it seemed that he had come too late.

"Alright, we still have things to do, so I'll leave these matters to Steward Mammy." After chatting for a while, Sun Ning immediately rushed over to the imperial study room. After all, this was not a small matter.

It wouldn't be a problem if an ordinary servant girl died, but this time, the servant girl was different from the others. Not only was she the princess's servant girl, she was also connected to this case.

At this moment, Fu Yuheng was in the imperial study, reviewing the imperial edicts. However, he did not have much patience. He had been flipping through the reports for a long time without writing anything.

The movement that came from outside the study made Fu Yuheng raise his eyes slightly. "This old servant pays his respect to the Emperor." Sun Gonggong hurriedly bowed.

"Come on, what's the matter with the public?" Fu Yuheng was puzzled.

The Sun Gonggong did not dare hide anything for a moment, and quickly told him about it, "Reporting to the Emperor, this morning, the princess's servant girl, Zi Xin, died in a well, discovered by a servant girl who went to fetch water."

"What!" Fu Yuheng's brows were tightly knitted together. He was somewhat alarmed in his heart.

A few days ago, Zi Xin was fine, why did she suddenly die today?!

Moreover, it was related to this matter. Did this mean that the person who murdered the princess was someone else? However, if one thought about it this way, who was behind all of this?

For a moment, his head was filled with worry, but he could not figure it out.

The eunuch could only stand to the side and worry, but he couldn't think of anything he could do for the moment. After all, this had happened too suddenly, making it impossible for anyone to guard against it.

"I understand." Fu Yuheng's voice carried a trace of exhaustion as he closed his eyes slightly. The color of the ring on his finger was pleasing to the eye, and it was indeed a good material.

"Yes …" The Sun Gonggong did not speak anymore and left.

The development of the situation today was somewhat troublesome, and with Zi Xin's death, there was no way to prove it either. Cold expressions began to surface in her mind.

Even so, she was still as indifferent as before. It was as if there was nothing in this world that could move her heart.

Fu Yuheng's pupils became longer as he looked out the window towards the place where Shen Qingwan resided.

The flowers in the palace were blooming very well, all the way it was fragrant and pleasing to the nose. Xiao Shushen had been bored staying in her sleeping quarters for the past few days, so today, seeing that the sun was rising, she decided to settle her mind.

They arrived at the imperial garden in the imperial harem and started to swim around the garden. It was as if the ruthlessness of yesterday was short-lived, and after calculating the timing, it was about time for the Gui mama to return.

His heart was filled with joy. From the looks of it, if he wanted to give Shen Qingwan a clean slate, the clues would have been completely destroyed.

"Empress, Gui mama is here …" Since he was tired from wandering in the garden, he wanted to go into the pavilion to rest for a while. Not long later, the palace maid by his side came close to his ear and whispered into it.

"Yes." After a low hum and savoring the sweet and sour summer plum tea, the anxiety in his heart calmed down in an instant.

He picked up the fish food from the servant girl's hands and looked at the goldfish that were coexisting harmoniously in the lake. He raised his bare hands, and those fish seemed to have received some sort of summons as they all began to fight amongst each other.

Not long later, the Gui mama arrived.

After dispersing the servants to the side, Xiao Shushen sat inside the pavilion and fed the fish food in her hands. Watching them compete and fight, she actually felt extremely happy in her heart.

"Empress, it has already been taken care of. I guarantee that there won't be any future troubles." Gui mama whispered to the empress from the side.

When she heard Gui mama's words, the Empress's heart abruptly relaxed. Even her face had a hint of a peachy complexion.

"Heh, hurry up and eat the fish. You'll only have strength after you've eaten your fill." After throwing all the fish food into the pond, a glint flashed across the depths of his eyes.

"It's been hard on you, Gui mama."

"Empress, isn't this old servant Zhexiu?" Gui mama wanted to kneel down immediately, but was stopped by Xiao Shushen. She covered her face and laughed, then wiped her mouth gently and looked towards the palace with an elegant and gentle expression, the fierceness in her eyes became even more obvious.

Even if the Emperor became suspicious, he would definitely not let her off the hook completely. As for the people outside the palace, they could only make conjectures, but not let that slut leave behind any good reputation.
