Chapter 575
The East Palace murder case was concluded early the next morning. The emperor casually explained in the court hall that Yun Shaoluo had arrested the murderer and was killed on the spot last night. This matter is over here, and the guards have also withdrawn. Now, the other people in the East Palace also breathed a sigh of relief, believing this matter to be true.

Only a few people know in their hearts that no murderer has been caught at all, and no one dares to arrest the real murderer for questioning. This case is destined to be closed like it is now.

But is this really the end of this matter?Yun Lanyue doesn't think so. Yan Beiqin said that there are outsiders in Lanyue Palace, but no one has died in Lanyue Palace so far, which means that person is still there. She is surprised that there is such a capable person in Lanyue Palace who has been hiding for so long It's rare that she didn't find out, so even if the guards had withdrawn, Yun Lanyue felt that this matter was not over yet, but had just begun.

In addition to Yun Lanyue thinking this way, Ji Shui also thinks the same way. She dare not take it lightly. Recently, even Yun Lanyue has deliberately avoided it, but she hasn't noticed her strangeness yet.

Yanshui and Qiaocui lived in the same room, Qiaocui came in with a washbasin, and asked her while washing her face: "Jishui, is there something on your mind?"

Ji Shui trembled, but fortunately Qiao Cui had her back to her, so she didn't see it, she twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to make her voice calm and fearless: "No, why are you asking so suddenly?"

"No?" Qiao Cui packed up the veil for washing her face, and turned to look at her: "I just feel that something is wrong with you recently, haven't you noticed it yourself? You usually do things in an orderly manner, and you have never made a mistake, but these two Hey, you have the phenomenon of going out without washing, and that day, the empress ordered at night to go to the empress to pay her respects the next day. I said I was afraid that I would forget it, so I asked you to remember it, but you forgot about it the next day. , let me remind you, this has never happened before."

Ji Shui smiled flatteringly: "Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest, I'm fine, don't worry."

Qiao Cui nodded, picked up the used wash water and walked out, and said as she walked, "It's good that you're fine, I thought you were so scared that you couldn't sleep because of so many things happened in our palace two days ago , I didn't want to say it at first, but seeing that you look listless today, I couldn't help asking, "Jishui, you don't think I'm talkative, do you?"

Yan Shui smiled and shook his head: "How could it be? Don't think about it." Then, Yan Shui also walked out: "I should also fetch water to wash up. My mother just woke up later."

When passing by Qiaocui, Qiaocui held Jishui's hand, she was immediately alert, but forced herself to calm down, turned to look at her with a questioning face.

Qiao Cui grinned at her: "Baishui, you don't look very well, it must be because you haven't slept well, anyway, the empress doesn't go out these days, it's fine for me to take care of you alone, you can rest in the room Well, let me tell your mother, she won't care about it."

Ji Shui secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that if she went to see the empress with this face, the empress might see something, so she simply nodded in response: "Qiao Cui, thank you so much."

Qiao Cuihan smiled and shook her head: "We still need to say thank you, I don't know how many times I have been taken care of by you, don't think too much, just rest well, when the rest is over, we will serve the empress together again .”

Ji Shui nodded, but the smile on her face was a little stiff. She looked at Qiao Cui walking away, feeling somewhat melancholy. She didn't know if she would have the opportunity to serve the empress in the future, but even if she didn't, she would always remember that the empress was still there. For Qiaocui, they are indelible existences in her life.

As soon as Yun Lanyue woke up, Qiao Cui pushed the door open and came in. Just in time to see her sitting up, she smiled and said: "Your maidservant knows that your mother is going to wake up at this time, and it was at this time yesterday, your mother, You seem to have gotten up earlier than before recently, but the lady is pregnant, it is better to rest for a while, anyway, there is no need to go to say hello every day, the lady can wake up whenever she wants."

Yun Lanyue shook her head and laughed: "As long as your mouth can speak, so many people died in the palace, how can I sleep?"

Talking about this topic, Qiaocui couldn't help but sigh: "Why is the empress and Weishui both acting abnormal because of this matter, is it possible that only the slave girl is stupid, and I still don't understand the reason ?”

Yun Lanyue heard the important point, frowned and asked, "You said that Ke Shui has been acting abnormal recently?"

"Yeah." Qiao Cui did not doubt him, and honestly explained: "She has been distracted recently, and she is extremely sensitive to everything, maybe she is a little scared."

Yun Lanyue was silent, she knew the courage of Jishui, this girl is not only smart, but also dare to do anything, there are some things she can't leave to Qiaocui, and Jishui will definitely help her do it beautifully and perfectly , This is also one of the main reasons why she reused her, but she didn't expect that the person she had been looking for outside Lanyue Palace was actually someone close to her.

That's right, apart from Ke Shui, there seems to be no other possibility. In Lanyue Palace, who can compare to Ke Shui's cleverness, and who can be more like an outsider than Ke Shui?More than once, she thought that Ji Shui was different from ordinary court ladies, she should have expected that a long time ago.

Yun Lanyue didn't reveal anything in front of Qiao Cui, until she helped her wash and dress up, she gave orders: "Qiao Cui, go and call Jie Shui."

Qiao Cui yelled, and didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly went to call out, Ji Shui was also very calm, as if she had thought of such a day long ago, and followed Qiao Cui to Yun Lanyue.

She lowered her head, unable to see the expression on her face, Yun Lanyue looked at Qiao Cui: "You go out and watch first, I have something to talk to Ji Shui alone."

Qiao Cui knew that she was not as smart as Ji Shui, so she obediently guarded the door, not letting anyone come here to disturb the two people in the house.

Yun Lanyue was sitting, and Jishui was standing, she didn't speak, Yun Lanyue didn't mind, and said first: "Everyone has their own ambitions, or everyone has their own difficulties and last resort, I don't have so much energy to get angry , I don’t even want to point your nose and scold you, I just want to know who can make you betray your sincere master, who arranged you to come in, and what is the other party’s purpose, as long as you explain it clearly , I will protect your life."

Ji Shui knelt down with a puff, with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, what I can assure you is that I have never betrayed my Majesty, and I will never tell anyone about my Majesty. No matter how human I am, I know how to be kind." report."

Yun Lanyue showed doubts: "Well, since you don't belong to anyone, let's talk about your identity. You are lurking in the East Palace, what exactly do you want to do!"
