"What is it?"
The Soliciting Moon Palatial Lord had returned to her usual cold demeanor. At this moment, she was like a ten-thousand-year-old block of ice, exuding a terrifying chill.
"Reporting to Great Palace Master, this old servant has something that I don't know if I should say.”
Granny Tie Zhang pondered for a moment and hesitated again.
In fact, she had been hesitating whether she should go in and report to Yao Yue. If she did, she was afraid that she would harm the kind little scholar. If she kept it a secret and the Palace Master found out, she would not be able to escape death.
Just as she was hesitating, she did not expect that the Great Palace Master was not in the palace but walked back from outside. Since she had been seen, she could not continue to hide it, so she quickly walked up to him.
"You're stuttering. This isn't like you in the past.”
Yao Yue's sharp gaze was like two peerlessly sharp swords that landed directly on her face. The old woman trembled in fear and quickly confessed the truth…
"This morning, when this old servant was delivering breakfast, I accidentally saw that scholar painting…!”
Granny Iron Staff lowered her head to report, not daring to look up. She knew that the Soliciting Moon Palace Master was a suspicious person. She did not even trust her own sister, let alone an old servant like her. Therefore, he didn't dare to delay and quickly said.
"What's the big deal about splashing ink and painting? Why are you reporting such a small matter to me?”
Yao Yue stared at the old woman, pretending to be puzzled. She knew that Granny Tie Zhang had come to report this personally, and it was not a trivial matter like painting. Perhaps there was something else going on!
"Painting is a small matter, but the things that the scholar drew made this old servant not dare to report to the Great Palace Master!”
"Speak…! What happened?"
Yao Yue seemed to have guessed something, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
"The painting that the scholar drew seemed to be of a woman. Although he hurriedly put it away after discovering this old servant, this old servant could vaguely see that the woman in the painting seemed to be a beauty. Thus, this old servant weighed it again and again and decided to report this matter to the palace lord!”
"Swoosh…"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her spine. She did not even need to look up to know that Yao Yue must be angry.
"Get someone to throw him into the Wild Wolf Valley at night. I don't want to see him again!”
Yao Yue's voice was not loud, but it sounded like it came from the netherworld. It was bone-chilling.
Granny Iron Staff's heart sank, and she suddenly felt a trace of guilt. She didn't expect that she would have given that bookworm's life in vain by saying a few more words.
However, she did not dare to disobey Yao Yue's order. She sighed inwardly and bowed in response. Then, she turned around and walked back. However, she had already started blaming herself.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have said so much. However, from this, it could be seen how deep the feelings of the Great Palace Master were. She must like this little scholar very much!
The amount of hate was the same as the amount of love. If there was no love, he would not be so disappointed and hate!
"Wait…!"
However, Granny Tie Zhang had not gone far when Yao Yue's cold voice came from behind her. Her heart skipped a beat and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. Had the Palace Master changed his mind?
"Before you throw him into the Wild Wolf Valley, try your best to find out the whereabouts of the person in the painting and kill him as well…! Also, do things secretly and don't let the Second Palace Master know!”
Hearing the Palace Master's words, Granny Tie Zhang was secretly disappointed. However, she didn't dare to show it on the surface, so she respectfully responded and turned to leave the Bright Moon Palace.
She knew that the kind-hearted little scholar had no chance of survival. The reason why the First Palace Master had specially ordered them to take action at night was to avoid the Second Palace Master's eyes and ears. He was worried that the Second Palace Master would obstruct them!
It was no secret that the First Palace Master and the Second Palace Master liked the little scholar at the same time. She had long seen it. If they had made a move during the day, the Second Palace Master would definitely be in the Cool Breeze Court. At that time, with the Second Palace Master's temper, he would definitely not let anyone kill him.
"Sigh, what a sin…!"
After returning to her residence, Granny Tie Zhang sighed softly. At the same time, the polite appearance of the little scholar appeared in her mind. It was a pity that such a kind child was killed just like that.
"Men…!"
Even though she couldn't bear to, Granny Tie Zhang was helpless. She didn't dare to disobey the Palace Master's order, so she steeled her heart and shouted towards the door. Soon, a woman in green walked in.
"Granny, what can I do for you?"
"Go to the Cool Breeze Court with Ruyi tonight at midnight and throw that scholar into the Wild Wolf Valley at the back of the mountain. Before you throw him in, find the painting on his body and force him to tell me where the woman in the painting is…! By the way, only the two of you know about this. If a third person knows, you can accompany that scholar to the netherworld!”Granny Tie Zhang said coldly.
She couldn't do it herself, and Tie Pinggu probably couldn't do it either. Thus, she could only find two flower slaves that she didn't like to do this. Even if the Second Palace Master found out about it later, she would let these two take the blame.
"Yes, sir! Ruhua will obey grandma's orders!"
The woman in green turned around and walked out.
……
At this moment, in the Bright Moon Palace, Yao Yue was standing in front of the dressing table in the bedchamber, staring at her graceful figure in the bronze mirror. Her beautiful eyes flashed with gentleness and coldness at times, and her expression seemed rather complicated.
Suddenly, two teardrops overflowed from her eyes and flowed down her face.| Her tender cheeks rolled down. However, she did not look sad at all. On the contrary, she smiled. However, there was an unconcealable sadness and disappointment in her smile!
……
Finally, don't forget to give some encouragement to those who think it's good.
