You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

The older women began to analyze the situation, while the others were filled with anxiety.

Footsteps could be heard outside, and many people were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.

"Waaah, I really don't want to die. I can leave in six months, and I want to get married as soon as I get out."

"I have three months left. The Emperor and Empress have been treating me well, and I've saved up some money over the years. I just want to get married as soon as possible."

"I still have more than a year left. I wonder if I can get out sooner? If I can get through this safely, I never want to work in the palace again."

Although it's not very tiring here, and the pay is quite good, it's still incredibly exhausting.

In a situation like today, it's very possible that I would lose my life.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their ears straining to hear the footsteps outside, hoping they were coming to see them, yet fearing they were coming to take their lives.

Finally, the footsteps stopped outside the door, and the door was opened.

"Everyone who has touched the little princess's clothes, come forward."

Xingyue personally led a team to investigate, and those who hadn't been in contact with her finally felt relieved.

But those involved were extremely anxious, and some even felt their legs go weak.

Don't even think about escaping; pretend you didn't hear anything.

There were spies everywhere in the palace, and the responsible matrons would call them out by name.

However, most people are quite conscientious; they know they can't avoid it.

"Are any of them going to leave the palace in six months?"

Xingyue's voice was icy, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the head maid.

The head maid wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and replied with her head down, "Aunt Xingyue, there are three palace maids inside who will be leaving the palace in six months."

"stand out!"

Xingyue's voice grew even colder. The old woman pointed to three of them, and the three men stepped forward tremblingly. One of them knelt down with a thud, "This servant did nothing!"

The other two followed suit.

Xingyue looked at them coldly, "Come in!"

Lord Yu and Tang Xinxin entered together. Xingyue turned to look at the two of them, her gaze falling on Tang Xinxin. "Take a look, do you recognize anyone?"

This was the first time Tang Xinxin had experienced something like this. The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Tang Xinxin took a deep breath, walked up to the three kneeling women, and said in a calm voice, "Raise your heads!"

She had seen the palace maid before, though they were a little far apart.

The three palace maids didn't know what was going on, but they obediently raised their heads.

Tang Xinxin thought she would recognize them at a glance, but when she saw the three people's faces, she was almost dumbfounded.

Are these three sisters? They look so alike.

They wore the same clothes and had the same hairstyle.

Tang Xinxin looked at this and then at that, finally looking helplessly at Lord Yu.

"What's wrong, Xin Xin?"

Sensing Tang Xinxin's unease, Lord Yu hurriedly stepped forward.

"I can't recognize it!"

Tang Xinxin was also helpless.

Lord Yu then looked at the three palace maids, his expression blank.

"How come they look exactly the same?"

Stars and Moon!!

Are you all face-blind? You all look quite different.

"Say one thing, all of you!"

Xingyue gave the order in a cold voice.

The three of them were so frightened that their voices trembled, and their voices were different from usual. Tang Xinxin still couldn't tell.

"I remember the dress that the palace maid was carrying had several pearls on it. The colors were all quite nice."

The old woman looked the three palace maids over. "They've all brought that dress over."

What a coincidence.

"Sir, what should we do now? I really can't tell the difference."

Tang Xinxin was at her wit's end, as the people she met were not good enough and their voices were almost identical.

"This..." This was the first time Lord Yu had encountered such a situation. When the palace was recruiting people, couldn't they find someone with personality?

Xingyue waved her hand impatiently, "Arrest them all and send them to the Censorate for interrogation."

The three palace maids were so frightened by the prospect of being tortured that their legs went weak.

"Aunt Xingyue, we really didn't do anything."

"We haven't touched our clothes."

"I didn't touch it!"

The three men knelt and begged for mercy, but Xingyue's expression grew even colder. "Arrest them all!"
