Dugu Ming coldly swept a glance at her, “When I struck you earlier, you could have actually dodged, but deliberately ran into me, wasn’t that so?”
The maidservant kept her head down, “The General has wrongly accused this servant.”
“When you mentioned the empress, you were actually trying to create confusion…” Dugu Ming casually wrung out his clothes, “Not bad, actually thinking of killing three birds with one stone.”
The empress had only instructed him to kill that person. The maidservant had heard the commotion and chose to create misunderstandings. It seemed that when he went to Mei Kai Ye earlier, he had already been noticed by the prince of Ming Sheng Kingdom, Fei Zuo.
First, to make Mei Kai Ye fall from favor. Second, to pave the way for Princess Fei Yun. Third, to drive a wedge between him and Mo Yi, aiming for his military power.
He couldn’t bring himself to kill Mei Kai Ye. So, sorry, big sister.
“This servant truly does not understand what the General is saying,” the maidservant’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, unable to respond otherwise.
The coldness at the corner of Dugu Ming’s lips grew more intense, “Go back and tell your Princess Fei Yun that this time, I, Dugu, will remember.” After speaking, he left without looking back.
After Dugu Ming left, the maidservant wandered to a palace where the currently most favored concubine, Yun Fei, resided.
“Well done, Nan Yang,” Yun Fei sat at the dressing table, praising her.
“The princess is too kind,” Nan Yang responded respectfully.
“Next, you just need to wait quietly,” Yun Fei removed the vermilion hairpin from her head, “Mei Kai Ye will come for revenge.”
“My lady!” Nan Yang looked up in terror, “Please save me!”
“With Mei Kai Ye’s temperament, she won’t kill you,” Yun Fei smiled charmingly in the mirror, “Remember not to look her in the eyes.” After several explanations, she added, “You still need to do one thing.”
“Yes, my lady.”
“Exaggerate this matter to the best of your abilities.”
…
Entering the Palace, Deep as the Sea
When Mei Kai Ye woke up, she found herself lying alone on the bed, surrounded by darkness. She suddenly felt a bit sad.
