"It's naturally a joyous occasion!" Xie Ruizhi said with excitement, then signaled to the maid who had answered earlier, ordering, "You, go stand guard outside and don't let anyone in."

After saying that, she pulled Yu Qingwu to sit down, looked around, and lowered her voice with excitement, "Imperial Sister-in-law, do you know Yu Mo? That female official in my mother's palace. She's usually so annoying. Relying on my mother's favor, she doesn't even put me in her eyes, and yet my mother indulges her."

"Saying that, Xiao Yu Mo is, after all, the daughter of a noble from Southern Yue, and on the surface, she's a female official, but in reality, she represents the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"In the end, she's just a pawn for a political marriage. But that Xiao Yu Mo can't see her own situation and is usually arrogant and domineering. She even dares to snatch my things and has bullied quite a few concubines of lower rank."

"Well, now, I don't know who she offended, but she was scared out of her wits."

Scared out of her wits?

Heh, she thought that Xiao Yu Mo was so capable, but she was scared out of her wits like this?

It seems that, just as Xie Jin Yan said, she was just being instigated. There's probably someone else behind Xiao Yu Mo.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and when she looked at Xie Ruizhi again, Qingwu returned to her gentle expression, pretending to be frightened and asked, "Sixth Princess, what do you mean by that? How could the Yu Mo girl be scared out of her wits for no reason?"

"Hey, it's just that two thieves broke into the palace last night, and somehow they ran to Xiao Yu Mo's courtyard."

"That Xiao Yu Mo is also stupid. She heard someone knocking on the door and opened it. As a result, she watched the two people being bitten to death alive by poisonous ants. I heard from the palace people living near there that the poisonous ants were all over them, and in just a moment, they were bitten to pieces."

"They screamed for help, but everyone was too scared to move. No one dared to approach. Later, when the guards arrived, the two thieves had already been bitten beyond recognition. One of them even had an arm that was badly rotten."“Hey, it's just that two thieves broke into the palace last night, and somehow they ran to Xiao Yu Mo's courtyard."

Although Xie Ruizhi hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she felt a chill down her spine just from hearing the description.

Hearing her words, Yu Qingwu's pupils trembled slightly, and her face turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Xie Ruizhi thought that Yu Qingwu was frightened, and quickly took her hand, asking with concern, "Imperial Sister-in-law, did I describe it too disgustingly and scare you?"

Speaking of this, Xie Ruizhi seemed a little regretful and sighed, saying, "However, although that Xiao Yu Mo is a bit annoying, she has never done anything terribly evil. Now that she has ended up in this state, it is really a bit unlucky."

Never done anything terribly evil?

So, the first time she did something terribly evil last night, she was scared out of her wits because her opponent was too vicious?

Yu Qingwu did want to scare Xiao Yu Mo, but she didn't expect to scare her crazy.

Although Xiao Yu Mo's actions were a bit vicious, she was, after all, someone close to the Empress, and the Empress valued her very much. Now that she has been scared out of her wits, the Empress will definitely investigate the matter.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu's heart couldn't help but tighten. She picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Ruizhi, and asked, "Sixth Princess, that Yu Mo girl is, after all, someone close to the Empress and represents the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now that she has been scared out of her wits, what did the Empress say? How should it be handled?"

"This is not yet certain. However, from my mother's meaning, it seems that she intends to send her back to Southern Yue." Xie Ruizhi sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip, regretting, "It is said that Xiao Yu Mo is beautiful and is a noble from Southern Yue. In the future, even if it is for a political marriage, she could marry a prince or a lord. But now she is being sent back, and I don't know what her fate will be after she returns to Southern Yue..."

What could her fate be?

Perhaps, from now on, she will be locked in a small courtyard forever and ever, and be a madwoman.

Yu Qingwu sighed in her heart, but she did not sympathize.

Xiao Yu Mo wanted to harm others herself, but she didn't have the ability to withstand it. She was scared out of her wits after being backlashed. Who can she blame?

It's just… I don't know how Empress Zhou will handle it.

"Sixth Princess, have you had breakfast yet?" Yu Qingwu glanced faintly outside, and asked Xie Ruizhi, while asking, she instructed the maid to prepare breakfast.

After eating breakfast, she will go out and inquire to see what the situation is.

At this time, it was noisy outside the East Palace, and the palace people were discussing Xiao Yu Mo being scared crazy.

From various palaces to the Yeting (imperial laundry), there was gossip among the palace people everywhere.

At this moment, the Fengzao Palace was filled with a cold silence.

In the huge main hall, Empress Zhou sat expressionlessly on the phoenix seat, coldly looking at Xiao Yu Mo, who was shrinking and trembling on the ground, and asked the mammy beside her with a cold face, "Mammy Xu, have you found out what happened to those two thieves?"

Hearing this, Mammy Xu did not answer.

She only glanced at Xiao Yu Mo with a very ugly expression, and hesitated, "Those two thieves were… were brought into the palace by Yu Mo girl herself. Originally, they wanted to harm the Crown Princess, but somehow, they ran to Yu Mo girl's door for no reason, and the two were bitten to death alive at that door."
