Female Master: The Cold Prince

The empress was shocked and filled with disbelief. How could someone as afraid of death as Xu commit suicide for no reason?

Without waiting for the palace maid to lead the way, she quickly walked in front of the palace maid and headed straight for the cold palace.

Soon, news of Xu's death spread in the palace. As soon as the news came out, it shocked everyone.

When Xiahou Jiuyue heard the news, she was also shocked by this sudden news.

Her mind was full of questions. How could Xu die? And at this time.

It is said that he committed suicide, but how could such an ambitious person be willing to give up everything and commit suicide?

There must be something she doesn't know about, so she said, "Ye Er, notify Ye Wu immediately and ask her to find out what's going on."

She always felt that this matter was not simple, and she felt uneasy if she didn't get to the bottom of it.

Inside Fengyi Palace.

After hearing the news, Feng Jun was as shocked as the Empress, perhaps even more so.

He never thought that Xu would die at this time. Who did it? He didn't think Xu would commit suicide. It must be someone who did it intentionally.

"Quickly send a message to the princess!" he said anxiously.

Xu is dead, and he is the most suspicious person. He cannot just sit there and wait for death.

"Yes." After receiving the order, the little palace boy hurried to the East Palace.

The empress hurried to the cold palace. When she saw the person lying cold on the bed, she felt indescribably complicated. Even though the other person was wrong, there was still some affection between them. After all, he had given birth to a daughter for her.

She walked to the bedside with deep eyes and sat down, silently looking at the other person's pale face without blood. His eyes looked a little swollen, obviously he had cried bitterly before.

Seeing this, her chest felt like it was hit by a hammer and she couldn't help but feel pain.

"Ningshuang, pass the order down and conduct a thorough investigation for me in secret!" She ordered the female official beside her.

She didn't believe that a good person could disappear quietly. Moreover, everything that happened recently was targeting this person. She wanted to see who was so intolerant of him and wanted him to die.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ningshuang said.

The queen looked at the man on the bed with a heavy expression, and reached out to help him tidy up his messy hair, making him look less disheveled.

"Issue an imperial decree to have Prince Xuan Duan return to the capital!" she said in a heavy voice.

I remember that this person cried when Prince Duan left Beijing. I didn't expect that the father and daughter would meet again in this way.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!" Ningshuang said comfortingly.

The queen sighed, stood up and said, "Bury Xu with the ceremony of a concubine."

No matter how disgusting this man was in his life, or just for the sake of Prince Duan, this is what he deserves.

Everything that happened in life cannot be undone, just treat it as a passing cloud and disappear with it.

From then on, after the sixth child, there was another child without a father in the palace. Thinking of this, a trace of melancholy appeared on the empress's face.

The sixth princess, Xiahou Hanxue, had a father who was not favored by the empress. Unfortunately, he caught a cold and died. After that, the empress adopted the young sixth princess under the name of Xian Concubine Jun and had her raised by Xian Concubine Ju.

Ever since the eldest prince Xiahou Yi got married, Concubine Xian has lived in seclusion in the palace and rarely appears in front of the palace servants. And since Xiahou Hanxue was adopted by him, she has been very low-key in her behavior and is a princess who is easily overlooked.

Night falls in Prince Chen’s Palace.

Ye Wu, dressed in black, came hurriedly. Upon hearing his voice, Xiahou Jiuyue put down the work she was doing.

"Master." Ye Wu looked at her solemnly. After she received the master's order in the morning, she immediately investigated in secret and indeed she found some clues.

"How is it? Have you found out anything?" She looked at Ye Wu and asked, her voice revealing a hint of solemnity.

Ever since she heard the news of Xu's death, she has been restless and uneasy all day, always feeling that this matter may be related to her.

"Today, Lord Ling went to the cold palace and stayed there for nearly an hour before leaving. Soon after, news of Xu's death spread." Ye Wu said with a complicated look.

She had been following Ling Guijun and protecting her secretly, but she didn't even notice that Ling Guijun had been to the cold palace. She was really derelict in her duty.

However, she was also more certain that Ling Guijun was followed by expert shadow guards, who might have discovered her and got rid of her silently.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue was instantly stunned. This was a lot of information.

She had doubted Feng Jun and everyone in the harem, but she had never doubted her own father.

After a brief moment of shock, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and then she calmly asked: "Have the traces been cleared?"

"It has been cleared, and there won't be any signs of it happening."

The matter was of great importance and she did not dare to be careless. When she learned the truth, she was also extremely shocked, but she was more concerned about cleaning up the scene in time without leaving any trace.

"Well, you go back first. Don't let your father notice anything unusual. If there is any emergency, contact me in time." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

The matter is clear, but I don't know why my father wants to get involved in this mess.

"Yes." Ye Wu said, then flew away.

After Ye Wu's back disappeared into the night, Xiahou Jiuyue then arranged: "Ye Er, notify Ye Si and ask her to keep an eye on the palace's movements and report back at any time."

Xu's sudden suicide would certainly make her mother suspicious and would order a thorough investigation. Who knows what would be found out by then. Thinking of this, her heart tightened again.

"Yes." As soon as the words fell, Ye Er's figure disappeared instantly.

Xiahou Jiuyue was left alone standing in the room. She walked to the window, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, with an unclear look in her eyes.

Inside Yuling Palace.

"You should burn this booklet. It is of no use anymore." Ling Yiqing handed the booklet in his hand to Lin Xuan beside him. This was just a fake booklet he made.

"Yes." Lin Xuan took the booklet respectfully. He found a brazier and threw the booklet into the fire until it turned into ashes bit by bit.

A few days later, in Huihe County, in a mansion.

A little maid came to the bed with a boiled medicine in her hand. Xiahou Yan was lying weakly on the bed at this time. When she saw the maid coming in with the medicine, she reluctantly got up and sat at the head of the bed.

Since she vomited blood that day, she became ill and took medicine every day, but her condition did not improve.

Looking at the medicine in the maid's hand, its black appearance and disgusting pungent smell, Xiahou Yan frowned unconsciously.

She hesitated and struggled for a moment, then took the medicine from the maid and drank it all. Before the bitterness of the medicine spread in her mouth, she hurriedly picked up a glass of water prepared beside her to rinse her mouth.

The maid was no longer surprised by her fear of taking medicine. After Xiahou Yan lay back on the bed, she took the empty bowl and left the room.

Xiahou Yan had just laid down for less than a moment when the Minister of Revenue Qin Yunuo rushed in in a panic, forgetting even to knock on the door.
