It wasn't until he saw the corpse placed on the ground that Xiao Yao finally understood that the Aunt Yang had asked her to come here to help bury the corpse.
Xiao Yao felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly shook her hands: "Aunt! Me. I … I … I can't do it! This. Shouldn't you be looking for an elder to drag away!? "
Aunt Yang looked at her without any emotion: "Who would help those who died in the cold palace? I'm old. I thought it would be Yu Zhaoyi burying my body. I didn't expect it. I never would have thought. "
She sighed again and again. Seeing that Xiao Yao was extremely afraid, she waved her hand, allowing Xiao Yao to follow her to the corridor and sit down. "Do you know the story of the Jadeite Temple?"
Xiao Yao's eyes could not leave Yu Zhaoyi's corpse: "Aunt, let's not tell stories around the corpse anymore. I'm also not like the Imperial Consort Zhong. "
Aunt Yang was amused by Xiao Yao: "You little girl, since you don't want to help me, and also don't want to hear my story, then what do you want to do?"
Without even thinking, Xiao Yao blurted out, "Xiao Yao wants to stay by the princess' side to serve."
"It's good that you have this intention, but let me remind you that loyal protectors are your most precious possessions, don't lose them. I have seen too many servants who betrayed their masters, and none of them have a good ending." The Aunt Yang chuckled, she looked into the distance, regardless of the complicated look on Xiao Yao's face, "If we leave the corpses here, they will stink, and the stink will attract people outside. At that time, they will ask Chen Zhaoyi how did he die, so one of us must take the blame, do you think it should be you going, or me?"
Xiao Yao was confused by Aunt Yang's question. "She. She's just a lunatic in the cold palace. "
Yes, but the Emperor has not abandoned her identity. She is still Yu Zhaoyi, the Emperor's concubine, your master, and all the women in the Cold Palace cannot commit suicide because the Emperor has not decreed it. Naturally, they cannot be killed because the Emperor has also not decreed it. Aunt Yang continued to look at Yu Zhaoyi's corpse and asked, "Tell me, did she commit any crimes by killing so many people?"
Xiao Yao was dumbfounded: "Of course she's guilty."
"Then now that the guilty Yu Zhaoyi is dead, and has been killed by someone else, if the Emperor finds out, then …" Are you guilty, or am I guilty? Or is the princess guilty? " Aunt Yang laughed, the wrinkles on her face turning into wrinkles.
Xiao Yao was speechless.
"But the cold palace, no one will come, no one will care about that much, as long as no one knows, who will care if you are guilty or not guilty? Who cares how you died? So we have to bury the corpse, and rest her in peace, and calm us all. This is reality, and the cruelty that the princess has to learn. " The Aunt Yang naturally knew what the Zhong Miao Yi was thinking.
Yu Zhaoyi died because of her, so she had to think it through herself.
Imperial Consort Zhong was gone, she could still see with her turbid eyes, but she did not know how long she could live nor did she know how long she could live with Zhong Miao Yi.
However, she hoped that she could teach the Zhong Miao Yi the ways of life that she had been comprehending for decades.
This way, she might not have to walk as hard as her matriarch.
Xiao Yao understood Aunt Yang's words. Zhong Miao Yi had come to the Cold Palace to think about the situation, if something were to spread out at this time, it would probably add fuel to the fire.
"I know." Xiao Yao stood up, gritting his teeth, he clenched his fists and encouraged himself, "I'll bury!"
Aunt Yang did not move, but from the looks of Xiao Yao, it was obvious that she did not know where to start. As expected, she was standing there dumbfounded, but luckily Aunt Yang had closed Yu Zhaoyi's eyes, otherwise, she would have scared Xiao Yao even more.
Seeing Xiao Yao walking back and forth with a blank face, Aunt Yang slowly propped herself up. She was old and she couldn't make too big of a move, so she slowly walked down the stairs. She didn't forget to say to Xiao Yao: "You brought Zhao Yi here too, come with me."
Xiao Yao was about to go crazy, but seeing that the Aunt Yang was about to disappear, she had no choice but to make her decision. She held onto Yu Zhaoyi's armpit, and slowly walked towards the Aunt Yang.
It was a good thing that they were surrounded by weeds along the way. If it was Shi Zitu, then perhaps Yu Zhaoyi's feet would have been worn out. If that happened, wouldn't he be fighting her to the death by midnight?
Following the Aunt Yang's left and right detours, Xiao Yao's strength and thoughts were all focused on Yu Zhaoyi, and she simply did not notice where she had walked to.
It wasn't until Aunt Yang stopped her steps that she took a look at the wasteland and realised there were at least five or six small hills there. All of them had an empty sign and didn't write anything down.
There was actually an empty cemetery in the Jadeite Temple?!
Xiao Yao swallowed her saliva. She felt his body becoming colder, she no longer knew what this place was used for, but no matter how she looked at it, it looked like an ominous place.
Aunt Yang pointed to a deep pit not far away: "Put Zhaoyi in there."
She was not such a kind-hearted person. She was probably old. No matter how hard she was, she wouldn't be able to withstand the ravages of time.
Xiao Yao quickly brought Yu Zhaoyi into the deep pit, and took a glance at him again before covering the ground. She suddenly remembered that back then, when she had entered the palace in high spirits, when she was being pampered in high spirits, Yu Zhaoyi probably did not think that he would end up like this.
After burying Yu Zhaoyi, Xiao Yao was already sweating profusely. While holding onto her knees and gasping for breath, she heard the voice of the Aunt Yang behind her: "You are following beside the princess, yet you are also a little girl who doesn't know anything. You have a pair of bright eyes, but your heart is not bright.
Xiao Yao did not know why Aunt Yang suddenly said that, and was stunned.
Aunt Yang looked at her coldly, and continued to speak after a long time: "There isn't even someone by Old Madam Su's side? "The empress dowager is really swift and decisive, her methods are not any less ruthless than they were back then."
Xiao Yao was stupefied, the Aunt Yang seemed to be very familiar with the situation between Madam Su and the empress dowager.
Aunt Yang took two steps forward. "Do you really want to ask, why do I know so much?"
For a moment, Xiao Yao did not know what to say, so she could only nod her head.
