"Yes, sir!" The imperial physician was shocked, but he did not dare to ask further when he saw the Emperor's expression. He hurriedly took a small knife and cut a shallow wound on Mu Xiyan's wrist. In an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain and flowed down Mu Xiyan's fair wrist. The imperial physician quickly took half a cup of blood and bandaged Mu Xiyan's wound.
After taking the blood, Situ Chengyan left Feng Xi Palace in big strides. Xia Lan did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left with Situ Chengyan. She also understood that she had bribed the master to tell the emperor this. This time, things had really gotten out of hand. The emperor probably would not do anything to her for the sake of the prince. If the empress dowager found out, it would be hard to say.
When Mu Xiyan woke up again, it was already late at night. She was the only one in the room. The candle was about to burn out. Mu Xiyan looked at the moon outside the window and realized that it was already night. She felt a pain in her wrist. Mu Xiyan took a look and saw that her wrist was tied with a thick white cloth. Seeing this, Mu Xiyan understood that Situ Chengyan had asked someone to take her blood.
He felt aggrieved for no reason and his throat was a little dry. He hurriedly called out to Xiaoling.
"Xiaoling! Give BenGong a cup of tea."
The door was opened, but it was not Xiaoling who came in. It was Ye Zi, another palace maid of Phoenix West Palace."Does the Empress want to drink tea? This servant will pour it now."
"Where's Xiaoling?" Mu Xiyan asked casually. He probably went to prepare dinner for her.
With a thud, Leaf fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face."Empress! Xiaoling had already been beaten to death by the Emperor!”
What was that? Mu Xiyan did not react in time and froze.
"Why?" Mu Xiyan asked softly, unexpectedly calm.
"At that time, the niangniang fainted and the emperor insisted on taking niangniang's blood. Xiao Ling risked her life to plead for the niangniang and was beaten to death by the emperor!”Leaf cried.
After hearing this, Mu Xiyan was stunned for a long time and asked,""Buried?" His tone was calm as if he was talking about his daily life.
"In the Mass Grave."
After a long silence, she gently got off the bed and opened the wardrobe. She took out a simple white gauze dress without any decorations. She took off the lake blue long sleeve dress that she was originally wearing and put on the white gauze dress. She let go of her tied hair and sat in front of the mirror. She wiped off the light makeup on her face and carefully washed it with water.
Ye Zi looked at Mu Xiyan's actions and was really puzzled, but she did not dare to ask. It was not until an hour later that Mu Xiyan stood up, walked to Ye Zi's side, and said,""Take me to the Mass Grave."
Standing in front of Ye 'zi was a woman with no makeup on, dressed in white. She was as holy and quiet as a fairy. Her eyes were indescribably beautiful, but Ye' zi still noticed the deep sorrow in the Empress 'eyes.
"Niangniang, you can't go to that kind of place!”Ye 'zi hurriedly dissuaded her after hearing Mu Xiyan's instructions. There were countless palace maids and eunuchs who had died unjustly in the Mass Grave. How could the Empress go to such an unlucky place?
Mu Xiyan did not seem to hear Ye 'zi's words. She opened the palace door and walked out. Ye' zi hurriedly shouted behind Mu Xiyan, but Mu Xiyan ignored him.
The moonlight shone on Mu Xiyan like flowing water. Mu Xiyan walked forward quietly. Ye Zi cried and begged behind her, trying to dissuade her, but it did not affect Mu Xiyan's progress at all.
"This servant will bring you there! This servant will bring you there! Empress! " Wu wu…" Seeing that she could not stop Mu Xiyan, Ye Zi hurriedly knelt in front of Mu Xiyan and blocked her way.
Mu Xiyan stopped when she heard this. Ye 'zi hurriedly walked in another direction, looking back at Mu Xiyan as he walked.
Mu Xiyan followed Ye 'zi further and further away. Slowly, there were no guards patrolling the night. Finally, Ye' zi stopped after they reached a small hill. Mu Xiyan walked out from behind Ye 'zi.
In front of her was a deserted hillside, overgrown with weeds, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses. Corpses of different degrees of decay could be seen everywhere. Mu Xiyan felt a sour feeling in her stomach, as if something was about to gush out.
Holding back the churning in her stomach and the fear in her heart, Mu Xiyan walked into the mass grave and passed through one entity after another. Finally, Ye Zi cried out.
"Empress! Here! Don't come over!" Ye Zi cried out in surprise and raised her hand to stop Mu Xiyan.
Mu Xiyan paused for a moment, but she still walked over firmly.
The person in front of him was already beyond recognition. His face was bleeding from all seven holes, and his original appearance could no longer be seen. His entire body was covered in coagulated blood. He was casually thrown on the cold ground, and no one pitied him.
Ye 'zi could not stand it anymore and quickly turned her head to the side. Mu Xiyan squatted down and looked at Xiaoling who had died tragically. In the end, she could not help but shed tears and her voice trembled.
" You silly girl..." Mu Xiyan murmured,"" You only have one life…How could you sacrifice it for a timid master like me…If I had stood up to suppress those women earlier…They would not have targeted me unscrupulously…You would not have died…" Mu Xiyan choked with sobs at the end, accompanied by a low cry.
Without you accompanying me day and night, how can I get used to it…If you weren't a palace maid and I wasn't the master, you would have protected me like a friend, but I didn't even do my duty to protect you…In the end, it was my fault…
" Empress..." Leaf couldn't stand it anymore and called Mu Xiyan, wanting to take her away from here,""Niangniang, let's return to the palace! If the Emperor knew, he would definitely feel sorry for the Empress.”
Hearing this, Mu Xiyan felt extremely nauseous and wanted to vomit. Heartache? Would Situ Chengyan, that bastard, feel sorry for her? This was the biggest joke in the world.
After a long time, her heart calmed down and her tears dried up. Mu Xiyan finally stood up. She stood in the strange and terrifying mass grave in plain white, and there was an indescribable beauty.
"Back to the palace." Mu Xiyan said lightly and left the mass grave.
Back at Phoenix West Palace, Mu Xiyan did not say a word. She sat alone in the empty room. Her eyes were a little blurry, and there were still traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
This was the first time in Mu Xiyan's life that someone had died for her. She was deeply touched and felt very uncomfortable. Xiaoling was not like other women. She was the first woman in this time and space who had helped her. Mu Xiyan would never forget this friendship.
White Jade Palace.
Ye Mingjin walked to the main hall. His ivory white robe outlined his perfect figure. His furrowed brows and slightly tired expression showed that Ye Mingjin had not slept for a few nights.
"Greetings, Palace Master!" Everyone in the hall knelt down and bowed.
"Purple Bamboo, what did I tell you?”Ye Mingjin waved his hand and sat on the throne. Everyone stood up.
