C51 None (1/2)

When Luo Yi said that she wanted to use the Imperial Guards to weed, she led a group of people to the Lin Yi Hall.

The was where the Sin Consort of the old dynasty lived before. The old man in the palace said that the concubine's death was unclear, and her grievances were deep, so there were always rumors that this place was haunted. In addition, after the new emperor entered the palace, the crown prince's personality became increasingly eccentric. The Imperial guards looked at each other for a while before turning to look at the person in front of them.

Luo Yi ordered his men to move a chair over and sat down outside. She casually waved her hand to signal for them to not be afraid, then pointed at the legless weeds at the entrance and said: ”Clean this grass up.”

”It seems like this soil is quite suitable for growing crops. Later, I'll try to grow all the crops here.”

When she mentioned that she wanted to turn Lin Yi Hall over and fix him up, Chen Liyi almost cried out from the anxiousness. With red eyes, he pitifully called out to her, ”Sister …”

”It's fine …” Luo Yi pinched the back of his hand. She didn't use too much strength and only comforted him: ”It has nothing to do with you. Just focus on your studies.

Chen Liyi looked to be still very perturbed, but he lowered his voice even more, ”No matter what I found inside, it has nothing to do with you, as long as you stay in the house and study, no one will blame you, and neither will I.”

Chen Liyi stared at her eyes for a while longer, and only after confirming that the words she said meant ”oh” did he let go of Luo Yi's hand.

Thus, the first job that the Imperial Guards had been given to Luo Yi was to grind and loosen the soil in this haunted palace, so that she would have the chance to turn this place into a vegetable garden in the future. During this process, she was able to dig out an incredible thing from the bottom of the Lin Yi Hall.

The Imperial Guard who had dug out the first bone was caught off guard, and was startled by the two huge holes on the skull. He immediately jumped three feet into the air, alarming Commander of the Imperial Guard who was at the side.

Immediately after, another Imperial Guard not far from him dug out a leg bone.

White bones of the dead popped up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The face of the new Commander of the Imperial Guard became pale as he ordered them in a cold voice to stop and go out to report to the person who was napping at the door.

”Bones?” Luo Yi pretended to be surprised, and her originally lazy sitting posture became a bit more upright.

”Yes.” Xu Taian's face was heavy, ”It seems like it's been a while. The corpses have all rotted.”

Luo Yi lowered her head slightly, revealing a cold smile. With an anxious voice, she said, ”Bring me over there to take a look.”

”Yes …”

The new commander respectfully took two steps back to prepare to lead the way for her, but then he suddenly thought of something and changed his words. ”Years of rotting corpses or stinky bones, it might cause discomfort …”

He was at a loss for words. ”Empress, it's better not to look.”

Luo Yi had already straightened half her body. When she heard this, she glanced at him in surprise, but didn't take it to heart. She waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem, and then, with Qing Luo's support, she walked in front of him.

However, when they arrived at the place where they were digging out the corpses, Luo Yi did not leave after just a glance from afar. Instead, she directly pushed through the crowd and walked to the innermost area, then asked: ”Who dug this out?”

A man with a medium stature walked out from the crowd and knelt on one knee. ”Reporting to the Empress, it was dug out by this subordinate.”

Luo Yi sized him up without batting an eyelid, then comforted him: ”Nothing, I was just casually asking.”

With that, she changed her tone and continued, ”It shouldn't be a big matter. It could be the palace maids that used to live in this palace …”

Before he finished speaking, he heard another commotion from outside. Luo Yi walked along a path that the Imperial Guard automatically opened up and saw another skeleton being dug out by the Imperial Guard.

At this point, almost everyone could sense that something was amiss. Luo Yi stayed silent for two seconds before instructing everyone in a low voice, ”I'll go report this to Your Majesty.”

She had expected this outcome, so her expression didn't change much. Just as she took two steps forward, she was stopped by the newly appointed Commander of the Imperial Guard, ”After the Empress reports to Your Majesty, she should return to her palace. Otherwise, she might dig out more filth and disturb her.”

he said slowly.

Once was an accident, but these repeated warnings made people pay attention.

Luo Yi pulled Qing Luo back, tilted her head, and asked: ”You are just a small forbidden troop, who gave you the guts to dare point fingers at me?”

Although the meaning of his words were sharp, it did not seem like there was any accusation. The man paused, then suppressed his voice and continued, ”Before Mr. Wen leaves the palace, let this lowly one pass on a message to the Empress at a suitable time.”

Luo Yi raised her eyebrows to show that she was listening attentively.

”Nothing can last long. If the Empress is so obsessed with everything, it will inevitably harm the body. Please focus on your body. ”

Luo Yi, ”...”

She could almost imagine the man speaking with a cold face, a frown on his face, and a cold look on his face as he finished speaking, hoping that he would be able to suppress his opponent in terms of momentum.

Luo Yi could not help but smile.

She was delighted to hear that — concern without any impurities always made her feel good, so the smile on her lips became much louder and her voice softer. ”Thank you for me, sir,” she said.

But there was no room for compromise.

When Luo Yi found Chen Jinyan, he was in the great hall reading a book, and when she heard the voice of the servant, she turned the book over without changing her expression, and casually raised her hand, indicating for the people below to bring him in.

Luo Yi's superficial skills were even better than before, and her voice was calm as she reported about the matter of Lin Yi Hall digging out the corpse.

Chen Jinyan put down the book and upon hearing that, he immediately frowned, the expression on his face becoming more severe: ”Who is so bold as to actually dare to commit murder right under our noses!”

Luo Yi lowered her head and laughed silently, she quietly watched Chen Jinyan vent his anger.

Honestly speaking, even Luo Yi and Mu Yizhou, these two elites might not be able to guess the truth, and even the two of them knew the real purpose of Luo Yi borrowing the Imperial Guard. Otherwise, do you think that the great ruler of a country would be so hot-headed that he would hand over the Imperial Guard to a concubine to weed?

It was just that due to their different considerations, Luo Yi could not state her intentions, and Chen Jinyan could not expose this matter to the world without any warning.

It just so happened that although their goals were different, the things that both sides had to do could be considered to be the same.
