Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 21 Gossip
The market was crowded with people.

The sudden death of the concubine Huan in the imperial garden was spread by the storyteller, causing a commotion all over the city.

For three whole days, what people talked about after dinner was all gossip about how Yuan Hua killed the concubine Huan.

Xi Er is sitting in a restaurant, waiting to meet her informant.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't get an informant, and was just about to pay and leave when a man's voice suddenly came from the next table.

"Have you heard, a big event happened in the palace recently!"

"You mean the death of Concubine Huan?"

Hearing their conversation, Xi'er turned to look at them.

I saw two middle-aged men sitting behind her, chatting excitedly about what they didn't know where they got it from.

"Exactly." As if he didn't notice Xi'er's gaze, one of the dark-skinned men nodded heavily: "I really didn't expect that, the eight virtuous kings are known as virtuous kings, and they married a princess, but The shrew, slapped the concubine Huan to death."

"Impossible, how did I hear that Concubine Huan was pushed into the pond in the Imperial Garden by the eighth princess and drowned?"

Hearing the discussion on their side, the middle-aged woman sitting at the other table also turned her head: "Who are you listening to nonsense? I heard from my friend who was an servant in the palace that the concubine Huan was clearly brought alive by the eighth princess. strangled."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched her neck, pretending to shiver in fear.

"Snapped!"

"Nonsense!" Xi'er couldn't take it any longer, and slapped the wooden table in half with one palm: "Do you know that speaking falsely about the emperor's relatives is a charge of beheading!"

Her actions frightened everyone.

Everyone turned their heads to look at her in unison, with blank expressions on their faces.

"Who are you? What does it matter to you if we talk about the eighth princess?" In the crowd, the woman was the first to come to her senses: "Oh, I see. You must not belong to the eighth princess."

Hearing what she said, the others also reacted.

"The girl's accent doesn't look like a local. She is probably a maid who came here as a dowry with the Eighth Princess."

"A servant girl is so arrogant, it seems that the eighth princess is not much better. Sure enough, there are all kinds of slaves as there are masters!"

Everyone talked to each other, and kept pointing at Xi'er.

Xi'er clenched her hands into fists and took out a dagger from her bosom: "If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"

Seeing her pull out the dagger, the middle-aged woman was slightly startled, shouting loudly while running to the door of the restaurant.

"Oh, I've killed someone. The maidservant of the Eighth Princess is going to kill someone. Everyone, run away!"

As her voice came out, the restaurant, which was still bustling, was instantly empty.

The owner of the restaurant saw that all the customers had run away, and wanted to ask Xi'er to pay for the money, but when he saw the dagger in Xi'er's hand, he immediately gave up.

……

"Princess, the servant did not see the informant."

Back at the palace, Xi'er reported the truth.

Yuan Hua nodded slightly, not paying much attention: "It is estimated that something has delayed you, so you can go for another trip tomorrow."

"Princess, there is one more thing..."

"Ok?"

Raising her head and looking at Xi'er in front of her, Yuan Hua was about to ask her what happened when she saw that she was hesitant to speak, when the outside of the room suddenly became noisy.

"It's not good, the palace is surrounded by people!"
