Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Wu Da Ying and the servant's expressions changed drastically and they looked towards the door. At the same time, the door was pushed open and a figure walked in against the light.

Wu promised the master and servant to see clearly who was coming, and the blood instantly drained from their faces.

Xia Ju blurted out in horror:

"Queen!"

Shi Nanxi clapped her hands, and walked slowly to Wu Yingda and his servant, with a faint smile on her face, and said in a neither light nor heavy voice:

"That guy is finally dead!"

Wu Da Ying looked at Shi Nanxi, and the fingertips holding the wooden fish suddenly turned white. She never expected that the Queen would suddenly appear outside the door. How much did she hear? Only the last sentence, or all of it?

Her heart was filled with fear and panic, but after a moment, she forced herself to calm down.

Don't panic, absolutely don't panic, there must be a way to overcome the crisis.

Wu agreed to calm down, his brain working rapidly, he quickly put down the wooden fish, kowtowed and chanted:

"Promise Uya to meet the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."

Xia Ju also forced herself to calm down and followed her master in kowtow and greeting.

Shi Nanxi looked at the master and servant who had quickly calmed down, stopped clapping, withdrew his hands, and said with a smile:

"I can't feel at ease right now. After all, my sister is dead. How can I feel at ease? Shouldn't Wu Da Ying know this best?"

Wu Da Ying's heart sank. The thing she was most worried about had happened. This person had not just arrived. No, if she had heard everything, she would have directly accuse him instead of testing him.

Yes, she was testing. She had to stay calm, her mind was in a state of confusion.

Wu agreed and looked up in surprise:

"What? The fourth concubine died? When did it happen? I have been worshipping Buddha in the temple and I don't know about this."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the note in Xia Ju's hand, and her heart suddenly tightened.

At this time, Xia Ju also realized the note in her hand. Her heart suddenly tightened and she quickly clenched her palms without making a sound.

Shi Nanxi has been looking at Wu Da Ying. She traveled from the modern era and once read a post that said when people lie, most of them will subconsciously look to the upper right.

Wu promised to hide it well, but one's first reaction could not be faked.

After hearing her words, her first reaction was to look upwards, and then she quickly lowered her eyes to cover up. The action was very subtle and obscure, but Shi Nanxi had been looking at her and keenly took in the scene.

In fact, after she arrived, she only heard Xia Ju's last sentence, but that was enough.

She is now 99% sure that the person Xia Ju said finally died today is Shi Rongyue.

Shi Nanxi remained calm on the surface, but was thinking quickly in her mind why Wu Yingzeng and his master and servant knew about Shi Rongyue's death so quickly.

Normally, this news shouldn't have reached the palace so quickly, unless, unless a letter was sent by carrier pigeon, then where was the letter?

Shi Nanxi turned her gaze to Xia Ju who was standing beside Wu Da Ying.

Wu Da Ying was required to worship Buddha all year round, so it was highly unlikely that she would receive the carrier pigeon herself. Xia Ju's appearance here at this time meant that she must have received a letter to report to Wu Da Ying, so the letter should be in Xia Ju's hands.

Xia Ju was not as strong-willed as her master. When Shi Nanxi looked at her, although she kept her head down and her expression could not be seen, her body trembled noticeably.

Suddenly, Shi Nanxi's eyes fell on Xia Ju's right hand, and then looked at her left hand. One of her hands was spread out on the ground, and the other was loosely clenched.

Shi Nanxi suddenly thought of something and smiled silently. She did not respond to Wu's words of approval. Instead, she walked towards Xia Ju, step by step, steadily and powerfully, and finally stopped in front of Xia Ju.

Wu Da Ying noticed this scene from his lowered eyes. His heart sank again and again, and Xia Ju began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing Xia Ju's reaction, Shi Nanxi smiled slightly, but the next moment, she raised one foot and stepped on Xia Ju's right hand, and said in a sweet tone:

"What good stuff is Xia Ju hiding in her hand? Why don't you take it out and let me have a look?"

There was a buzzing sound, and Xia Ju's teeth were chattering with fear. Feeling the increasing force in the hands, she didn't dare to struggle at all.

When Wu Da Ying saw this scene, a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the next moment, he kowtowed heavily:

"Empress, Xia Ju looks generous, but she is actually timid. Her mother and brother are also of the same character. How dare they hide things in front of you? If she has offended you in any way, I will punish her severely. I hope that the Empress will forgive her."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Ju, who was standing at Shi Nanxi's feet, had a flash of fear and panic in her eyes.

The next moment, her eyes suddenly turned determined, and then she suddenly increased her strength, trying to pull her hand away, preparing to take the opportunity to quickly swallow the note and then slam her head against the wall.

However, as soon as she moved her hand, she felt a much stronger force pressing down on her, making her unable to move at all. At the same time, a leisurely chuckle came from above her head:

"You really scared me. Fortunately, I stepped on your hand just in case. I didn't expect it to really happen, Hongying."

Shi Nanxi looked down at Xia Ju with a calm and nonchalant smile on her face. Hongying understood what he said and immediately stepped forward to hold Xia Ju's hand tightly.

Shi Nanxi then put down her foot. Xia Ju still wanted to struggle, but Hongying was not jealous. She immediately increased her strength and tried to pry open her palm.

Seeing the exposed note, Hongying immediately snatched it away, then handed it to her master while holding Xia Ju's arm.

Shi Nanxi took the note but did not open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Wu Da Ying and said with a faint smile:

"It seems that Wu Da Ying still doesn't know your personal maid well enough!"

Wu promised to control the expression on his face and lowered his head.

"Your Highness is right. Things have changed over time. I am naive. After all, I am just a concubine now. I have no way of understanding what the people around me really do."

Shi Nanxi looked at Wu Da Ying deeply. She really had a quick reaction. She even admired her a little bit. However, they had been in opposition for a long time. Her admiration did not prevent him from getting rid of her quickly, accurately and ruthlessly once he got the chance.

Shi Nanxi smiled and said nothing. She opened the note and saw only one sentence on it: [Shi Cefujin has passed away]

She read it out loud, then looked at Wu Da Ying again and said with a smile:

"It seems that the phrase 'a good death' that I heard was referring to Shi Concubine, my own sister!"

Wu Da Ying raised his head and looked towards Shi Nanxi, as if he had heard some unbelievable news.

"Empress, are you saying that not only does Xia Ju have a note in her hand, but it also contains information about the death of the Fourth Concubine?"

Then she seemed to think of something, pointed at Xia Ju, and asked in astonishment:

"Xia Ju, how did you get the news that the fourth concubine had passed away? I have been worshipping Buddha all year round and cannot leave the palace. Where did you get this news?"

Xia Ju was held by Hongying's arm and could not move, but with the tacit understanding between her and Wu Ying, she immediately understood her thoughts and said:

"Master, I know that you worship Buddha all the year round, but you still miss the Fourth Prince in your heart, so I bribed a eunuch in the Fourth Prince's mansion secretly. If there is any major event in the Fourth Prince's mansion, I will pass it to me so that I can find a chance to tell you. But this time the news of the Fourth Prince's concubine's death is not good, and I am afraid that you will worry, so I hid it."

At this point, she knelt down:

"All of this was done on my own initiative. I hope the master will punish me."

Wu Yingda pointed at Xia Ju, looking angry that she acted on her own, but also moved by her actions, and didn't know what to do.

Shi Nanxi was really impressed by what she saw and almost applauded again. This master and servant pair had really good acting skills. If she hadn't guessed it in advance and caught them off guard, she really wouldn't have been able to convict them even with the evidence.

However, she would not fight a battle without confidence. Shi Nanxi raised her lips, looked at Wu Daying and the master and servant, and suddenly sighed:

"I have to say that Wu Cheng and your personal maid have a deep bond as master and servant, but I would like to invite you to meet someone."

Under the nervous and puzzled gazes of Wu Ying and his servant, Shi Nanxi clapped her hands and shouted:

"Bring Xiao Ruzi in."
