"Okay." Xin Jiefeng agreed readily. The fact that things have developed to this point is no longer the fault of Murong Xitian alone.
Xiuxiu was poisoned and his arm was injured. It was time to settle accounts with Ye Zixuan and the real princess.
The heavy rain gradually cleared up in the evening. When the rain stopped completely, twilight had already begun, and large areas of darkness gradually spread wantonly across the sky. After a while, the entire earth was shrouded in darkness, like a sealed box, suffocating people and making them breathless.
Get angry.
Ye Zixuan in the palace was getting more and more anxious as night fell.
She waited for the news in the palace for a day, but unfortunately the palace was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on? The news shouldn't have come so late..." Ye Zixuan became more and more anxious as she waited. She was even worried that the plan would fail, and couldn't help but feel restless.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a dark shadow came in to inquire about the news: "Princess, there is news. Xiao Dezi from the Imperial Pharmacy committed suicide by taking poison."
"What!" Ye Zixuan slapped the table and stood up, staring at the black shadow in disbelief.
How could things be like this? Shouldn't the dead people be the Queen Mother and Xia Ziluo? How could it be Xiao Dezi?
Ye Zixuan couldn't help but think carefully - if something happened to the Queen Mother and Xia Ziluo, then the whole capital would be in shock, and there would be no news like this. Then Xiao Dezi probably committed suicide by taking poison, and the matter was exposed...
But she felt something was wrong. If Xiao Dezi was really afraid of crime and committed suicide by poisoning, something must have happened. At least one of the Queen Mother and Xia Ziluo was poisoned.
In order to determine these circumstances, should she go to the palace at this time to find out the news? But what if Xiao Dezi committed suicide by taking poison and it was just a cover for the emperor to release it?
"What should we do?" If Xiao Dezi is all-inclusive, wouldn't it be a trap for her to go into the palace to inquire?
Too much uncertainty made Ye Zixuan even more anxious: "What's going on? Where is the Queen Mother and the fake princess? Is there no movement at all?"
"There's no movement. The palace has been under martial law since last night, so it's hard to get information." The shadow shook his head.
At this moment, Ye Zixuan was on pins and needles and could no longer calm down.
Suddenly, there was a small noise coming from outside the window.
"Pulp, plop, plop—" It looked like some bat or bird was flapping at the window lattice.
Ye Zixuan was startled and subconsciously looked up following the sound, only to see a black pigeon sitting on her open window sill, waving its wings "fluttering".
"Is this the carrier pigeon you used to deliver messages?" Ye Zixuan glanced at the black shadow in confusion.
Black Shadow immediately denied: "No."
No, who could it be? She and Xia Qingtian communicated entirely by people, not by carrier pigeons.
Suddenly, Ye Zixuan's heart skipped a beat, could she be the real princess?
She hurriedly took two steps forward and reached out to catch the pigeon. Sure enough, there was a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's calf with a note inside.
Ye Zixuan took out the note and opened it. She saw black and white words on it, clearly written: It's done, come to Xia Mansion quickly to discuss important matters.
The signature is written without any hesitation - Princess Xiao.
"It is indeed her. It seems that if you go to her, you will know whether the matter is successful or not." Ye Zixuan was no longer entangled or anxious. She put the note on the candle and burned it to ashes before letting the shadow take her secretly.
