C51 None (2/2)

Luo Yi stood there quietly, seeing that Chen Jinyan had passed down the order after sending out the fire, he said in a serious tone, ”We want to see, who exactly has the guts to dare to do such a despicable thing in a palace!”

Lin Yi Hall dug out a total of 23 bones, some of the old skin had already decayed completely, only leaving behind some new bones, some new ones dead, the bones were still connected to the rotten flesh, the moment they dug out the bones, everyone else took a few steps back due to the stench.

Luo Yi was lucky, she had been holding a handkerchief to her mouth and nose from the start, and had reacted quickly, pulling Luo Yi back almost the moment the corpse was dug out, so the stench did not scare her too much, it was just the pitiful Imperial Guard who had dug out the Corrupt Corpse, and vomited for a long time on the ground to the side before they managed to recover.

The corpse's facial features were still rather distinct, and the events of the past half a month were roughly calculated on time. For some reason, a brave Imperial Guard suddenly clutched his nose and inched forward, before kicking his loathing companion with a look of disdain, ”Hey, look at her. Is she the face of the former Empress?”

The person who was kicked first pursed his lips in displeasure, then he glanced at the rotten corpse, after which he quickly withdrew his gaze: ”Who can recognise this!?” His face was covered in spots... And didn't he go to the imperial mausoleum with the empress at night? What nonsense are you spouting! ”

”Take a good look!” The person who spoke earlier kicked him again, ”Look at the birthmark on the side of her neck! What about such a large piece of land! I can never admit my wrongs! ”

He made a solemn oath. Only then did the latter take two steps forward and carefully looked at the corpse's neck. ”It really is …”

His voice was filled with surprise. ”Didn't she follow the former empress out of the palace? Why are you back? ”

Luo Yi listened at the side and couldn't help but frown. Then, she took a step forward and asked: ”Do you know this person?”

”To reply esteemed Empress,” the first person who recognized the corpse stepped forward and replied, ”Wan Xiang was the one who served the previous Empress. When we brothers entered the palace, we didn't understand the rules and received quite a few pointers from Lady Xiang, but she clearly followed the previous Empress out of the palace … We brothers saw it with our own eyes! How did he die in the palace again? ”

He frowned, puzzled.

Luo Yi could not understand, and stared at the corpse on the ground for a long while.

The two brothers firmly said that this person had already left the palace, but now, he had been dug out by someone from the palace, so either this person had not left at all back then, or he had returned again, and somehow offended Wen Yan, causing her to silence him.

Currently, Luo Yi was leaning towards the second possibility.

”Bring the body back.” She pointed at the two brothers who had spoken earlier and said, ”Investigate her cause of death and …”

She paused, then changed her words under their puzzled gazes, ”Nothing.”

In fact, most of the deaths could be seen.

Tang Yuan was a doctor, Luo Yi had heard him mention this before, that if a person was poisoned to death, their throat would turn black, and although these bones were stained with mud, the ones with good eyes would still be able to see their black bones.

However, if you observed them one by one, you would find that not everyone was poisoned to death.

Luo Yi roughly took a few glances, and faintly guessed in her heart that the ones who died from the poison should have been Wen Yan's handiwork, and not the ones who died from the poison.

Luo Yi stopped abruptly and forced herself to divert her attention.

Not to mention the fact that it would attract unknown items, just the dozens of corpses here would scare the most pampered empress of the palace half to death, so Luo Yi had been waiting at the door for the imperial guards to wrap the corpses in white cloth and carry them out separately. Only after they had cleaned up the courtyard did she respond to Qing Luo's call.

”I didn't see anything,” she said in a long voice. ”I just felt that it was a pity that I couldn't grow any fruits and vegetables.”

The remaining poison on the corpses would have been on the ground, not to mention the many poisoned corpses.

No wonder the grass at the entrance of Lin Yi Hall was the best.

Luo Yi slowly walked forward. While walking, she suddenly stopped for a moment, and then suddenly turned her head to look at the empty Lin Yi Hall.

”Empress?” Qing Luo asked carefully.

Luo Yi shook her head, she suspected that she was being too sensitive, but in that moment just now, she clearly felt that someone was looking at her from behind, when she turned around, she did not even see a shadow.

Qing Luo is one of Mu Yizhou's men, so there's no need to doubt him even if she isn't trustworthy. Hence, she furrowed her brows and asked: ”Did you feel that someone was following us just now?”

Qing Luo frowned, she did not make any noise and helped Luo Yi to walk forward, but the expression on her face changed: ”I cannot be counted as a stalker, but there is definitely someone watching us from behind.”

”Do you see who it is?”

Qing Luo shook her head: ”That person's movements were too fast, I couldn't see clearly.”

”Yes.” Luo Yi nodded her head, she did not make things difficult for her, but after walking far away, he lowered her voice and asked again: ”Is that person still there?”

Qing Luo observed her surroundings carefully and shook her head.

The corner of Luo Yi's mouth rose, and she turned her feet to turn back. Qing Luo was shocked, and immediately reached out and grabbed her arm, her voice was full of fear and shock, ”The Empress wants to go back?”

Luo Yi did not comment, and only replied vaguely: ”If I go too late, the thing that the man tried so hard to attract me to look at will be gone.”

Qing Luo didn't understand the meaning of her words. She only sensed that Lin Yi Hall was in danger, and the reason why Mu Yizhou sent her to Imperial Consort Yi was to protect her safety, so she refused to let go no matter what. She shook his head with all his might: ”If the Empress really wants to go, it won't be too late to bring guards back.

Luo Yi waved her hand casually. ”That place has already been desolate for dozens of years, forget about people, there isn't even a shadow of a soul. What's there to be afraid of?”

Seeing that he could not stop her, Qing Luo grinded his teeth and said that he would follow as well. Just as the words left his mouth, Luo Yi's venomous eyes swept over his entire body, his heart was in a panic as he heard her say, ”Could it be that you have forgotten your own identity?”

Her face turned unsightly, and the words she spoke became extremely cold: ”You heard what I said to Wen Yan that day, so you should naturally understand that I am not the same type of person as you and your master. I usually pretend that I don't have any grudges with you for the sake of making sure that the makeup goes on peacefully, but you don't really think that we can return to our original mode of interaction, do you? ”

”Once bitten by a snake, you are afraid of being bitten by a rope for ten years.” Luo Yi shook her head: ”I am a very petty person, I won't be able to accommodate the people around me.”

After saying that, he quickly put on a smiling face. Before Qing Luo could react, he patted her shoulder: ”If you don't see me go back, the crown prince will probably be a little angry. The people at the side of Hall of Announcements are not as smart as you, and if your words are convincing, you can help me pacify the crown prince, and when I return, I will definitely reward you heavily. ”

she said, the smile in her eyes never reaching her eyes.
