Chapter 32

When the wine had gone round three times, Helian Jue’s face turned red. Everyone in this feast had his own thought.

A delicate figure rushed to the front and knelt on the ground. Her head heavily knocked on the ground of the Hecheng Palace.

All the people looked at her.

“Your Majesty, I am Huangye, a maid in Lady Jiazi’s palace.” Huangye’s body could not help trembling.

Hearing this, everyone turned to Yi Jiazi.

Yi Jiazi frowned when receiving people’s attention. A piece of anger showed up in her eyes. The exquisite face was lightly horrible under the candlelight.

“What do you mean?” Yi Jiazi got up and went forward. Her purple dress brought a gust of wind.

“Your Majesty.” She bowed to the emperor and waved her sleeves on the ground, which was like a flying butterfly. She looked more flirtatious from every angle.

Helian Jue frowned. His face was handsome and his eyes moved around.

“What do you mean, my love?”

He said slowly and his voice could not show his happiness or anger.

Yi Jiazi trembled, turning her body and facing Huangye. “Huangye, go back to the seat with me.”

Huangye did not move and her body trembled like a sieve, but still refused to go back.

She kowtowed again and her head knocked on the ground heavily. “Your Majesty, I have one thing to report. Please give me a chance to talk.”

Yi Jiazi frowned and a piece of surprise and astonishment passed by her eyes. “What do you mean? Huangye, are you behaving arrogantly like this because of my best to you?”

Huangye did not move and continued to kowtow.

“Your Majesty, I beg you to give me a moment to talk, please.” Her speaking voice mixed with the sound of her kowtow. It was really heavy, ringing into everyone’s ears.

Helian Jue did not care about her naturally. On account of his temper, he disliked impolite women.

“Bring her away.” Helian Jue waved his sleeves with a reluctant feeling in his eyes. His lips slightly tightened.

“Your Majesty! If you don’t listen to my words, Faner would in one’s grave! The harem will never be peaceful!”

It seemed that Huangye tried all of her strength. The bright and clean yellow floor scattered bloodstain, which was like the scene when Faner died.

Tang Xia frowned. “Is this related to Faner?”

She had a bad guess.

“You said the harem would not be peaceful. What do you mean by this? Tell me.”

Huangye’s words finally attracted Helian Jue’s attention. She wore a comforting smile and said in a light voice.

“My name is Huangye and Faner grew up with me. We came to the palace from the South Country. Since Huangye died, I can’t fall asleep for a few nights. I always remember her smile. In the half month, the rumors about Faner spreads in the palace.”

“Shut up!” Yi Jiazi seemed to be extremely angry and could not help shouting at her.

Huangye seemed to be terrified and stopped talking.

“Let her finish!” Helian Jue’s voice was cold. The coldness in his order frozen the surrounding atmosphere.

Yi Jiazi had to give up.

Huangye was trembling and kowtowed. “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.”

“I dreamed Faner met me and dressed a black cloth. Her hair hung over her back and her eyes were full of coldness. She held a chill knife and said she died for sadness and injustice.”

The palace fell into silence and even the light breeze could be heard. At this moment, everything seemed to be weird.

Helian Jue frowned and said in a rough voice, “Absurd!”

Wasn’t it absurd to say something like this in front of the emperor?

Huangye was shaking and her lips were trembling. “I thought it was just a nightmare. But a few days ago, someone heard that Faner’s ghost appeared in the Royal Garden.”

“I thought it was not Faner, but the description of that ghost was the same as my dream. I’m terrified and she showed up in my dream every night. She said she died for injustice and would revenge.”

Helian Jue calmed down instead of his anger before. His long-narrow eyes squinted, which frozen the surrounding atmosphere.

“So, did her said why she died?”

The reason that Helian Jue asked this question was to figure out Huangye’s intention.

Huangye was stunned and her head heavily knocked on the ground. “Forgive me, Your Majesty… I dare not ask too much… Faner just said she died for injustice…”

“Absurd!” Yi Jiazi finally could not hold her temper. “Don’t try to make a rumor over here. Faner was trying to trap Lady Yue Ji and I helped her to kill this bitch. How could there be any injustice.”

Yi Jiazi’s words successfully involved Tang Xia inside.

She helped Tang Xia to kill the wicked maid, but Faner got into Huangye’s dream and said she died for injustice. The crime returned to Tang Xia somehow.

Tang Xia frowned with resistance.

“What do you mean, my sister?” Tang Xia asked with her eyes as cold as ice.

Yi Jiazi’s body trembled. Considering Helian Jue was sitting over there, she had to lower her body. “I have no other meaning.”

“The devil would believe her words.”

Tang Xia added in her mind.

Helian Jue’s voice was gloomy. He was like the beast that was out of the Shura field, coldly and dangerously.

“Therefore, am I have joint responsibility for this?”

Yi Jiazi shook. “I didn’t mean it…”

Huangye seized the chance and continued kowtowing for a few times. “Your Majesty, I hope you can hold the justice for Faner.”

Huangye’s thin voice spread over every corner of the palace. Helian Jue raised his eyebrows and seemed to figure out a solution.

Yi Jiazi also bent over her body to the ground and kowtowed.

“Your Majesty, I also hope you can give me justice. I accept to be monitored.”

“Guard Chu, I order you to investigate this issue.” After a while, he made this decision.

Everyone was shocked and moved eyes towards Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo’s silver armor was shining under the candlelight, and his eyes were like the stars and vast sea, which could contain all kinds of magical powers.

He lowered his body. “I would, Your Majesty.”

Huangye held back her body and added, “I heard that Lady Jiazi and Lady Yueji were all there. Could you please check them carefully, Guard Chu?”

When Huangye finished her words, the palace fell into silence for a while.

Helian Jue frowned, and his face became a little bit desolate under the candlelight. Half of his face covered in the shadow and his expression could not be told.

He raised his eyebrows and seemed to be extremely disgusted with this matter. His eyes turned to Tang Xia’s face and sighed at the bottom of his mind.

“Check Yue Ji together.”

Tang Xia’s eyes condensated.

Finally, this issue still involved her in.

She just took the order and said nothing more.

Helian Jue’s eyes showed out his unhappiness. “I give you three days. If you can’t find out the truth, all those who spread this rumor should be executed.”

He waved his hands and got up. All the imperial concubines kneeled.

“Just leave.”

His voice was gloomy and walked towards Lengmei who said nothing the whole time. His hand held her slim waist. “Let’s go.”

Lengmei bowed to him and followed closely.

The imperial concubines around left gradually. Then, Shun Decai returned and made a bow.

“I hereby proclaim that Lady Yue Ji and Guard Chu Tiankuo are responsible for this issue. You have three days to investigate. Or else, you two would be head-off. Lady Yi Jiazi is prisoned in her palace. No one could visit her. If there is no result after three days, she will also be head-off. Maid Huangye, temporarily keeps in the dark prison.”

He made a bow to Tang Xia after he finished. “I ask for leaving, Your Grace.”

Tang Xia stared at his back, and her mouth could not help shaking.

“What…are these?”

[Fans] My God: The anchor is sitting at home, while the accident comes from heaven.

[Fans] Kyushu City: Are the tasks so active now… Force to complete… The game will be over if you can’t complete them!

[Visitor] A Dragon in the Waves: Sightseeing! It seems that anchor’s romantic conquering story would turn to be extremely miserable…

Tang Xia wept in her heart.

She just refused the flowers from others and just came to join a feast, but was inexplicably arranged to perform the death penalty mission.

What was worse, though the live broadcast room would not be shuttled if the anchor did not conquer the hero, she would be forced to withdraw from the room if she died in the plot. And then, she should restart the game!

She would not restart the game!

Tang Xia felt upset when looking at the sights in front of her. Lyuyou lowered her voice behind her, “They are too excessive. You have nothing to do with the issue…”

Tang Xia lowered her eyes and finally said nothing.

“Go back first. These days, the Jiaofang Palace is under your control.”

Lyuyou bit her lips, staring at the beautiful side of Tang Xia’s eyes. Finally, she sighed and said, “I am too stupid and can’t do any help, Your Grace.”

She suddenly turned to Chu Tiankuo, “Guard Chu, you’re always capable. You must help her to find the real criminal. I will show my sincere appreciation to you.” At the end of her words, she made a bow to him.

Chu Tiankuo pretended to lift her up and his eyes turned dark. “I must save her.”

Tang Xia heard his voice, gradually turning to his handsome appearance.

His silver armor reflected dazzling glow under the candlelight. Such a man like him was really an extraordinary God’s favored son. Everyone would be easily lost his mind when seeing him.

“I will take care of the Jiaofang Palace. You must remember to come back, Your Grace.” Tears filled in her eyes and a few drops slipped on her face.

Tang Xia showed a smile and comforted her, “The Jiaofang Palace is my palace. I have no reason not to go back.”

She just smiled, but covering all the bloomings.

After Lyuyou left, Yi Jiazi got up. A piece of arrogance showed in her eyes and she wore a vaguely irony.

“I also pray for you, my sister, to find out the real criminal.”

Tang Xia’s smile deepened. “Of course, I will send the one who killed her to the heil.”

Yi Jiazi was stunned.

“When the death is coming, you could still be sharp-tongued, sister Yue Ji. I am convinced by you.”

Tang Xia wore an indifferent smile. “I don’t know whether I would die or not, but I know you must die, sister Jiazi.”

Yi Jiazi’s smile did not fade away, making a bow and leaving.

Chu Tiankuo stepped forwards and looked at Tang Xia.

She raised her face and felt proud of herself. “What do you think? Is my counterattack cool enough?”

Chu Tiankuo sighed in a low voice. “You, such an idiot.”

Tang Xia was stunned. The breeze blew over Chu Tiankuo’s hair. Though it was so messy, Tang Xia could still figure out a piece of a smile in his eyes.

“Chu Tiankuo, is there anyone telling you that when you are not smiling, you look really handsome out of stupid.”

Chu Tiankuo’s face turned gloomy.

A piece of danger shone in his eyes and his thin lips slightly tightened.
