Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"Dead? Do you know why?" Ji Xingyao's heart tightened and he grabbed the palace maid who delivered the news.

The palace maid looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she waved mysteriously to Ji Xing from a distance.

Ji Xingyao immediately leaned over to listen.

"I heard...she stole Princess Amire's aquamarine. The jewel was specially crafted for Princess Amire by the King of Southern Xinjiang and is priceless."

After hearing this, Ji Xingyao basically understood that Xueyan was most likely killed by Amire.

I saw Xueyan was so scared that she was even more timid than a mouse. How could she dare to do such a deadly thing?

Amire probably deliberately found a reason to deal with the person.

But why did Amire want to kill Xueyan?

A flash of doubt flashed through Ji Xingyao's mind, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

However, once Xueyan died, her plan had to be put on hold.

Xueyan was dead and had no evidence to prove her guilt. She was also charged with theft, and the dirty water of framing her had been thrown on her by Amire in advance. There was nothing she could do.

On the way back, Ji Xingyao felt a little depressed.

She had to provoke strong hostility from the people of southern Xinjiang in a short period of time in order to lure them into taking action.

I've been thinking hard, but I still can't find a clue.

She was a little discouraged.

Seeing time slipping away and her plan being thwarted halfway was more painful than killing her.

As he walked, Ji Xingyao subconsciously came to the vicinity of Mingyue Palace.

The place where she stopped was exactly where she met Xueyan.

From a distance, the stage set up in Mingyue Palace has been dismantled. The Mingyue Palace, which was bustling with people recently, has become much quieter.

She was in a bad mood and everything looked unpleasant to her. A long grass happened to grow on the road where she was standing and poked her calf, making her feel numb and itchy.

Ji Xingyao squatted down, pointed at the grass and cursed. After cursing, he pulled it out by the roots to feel relieved.

When she stood up and prepared to leave, a child stumbled over from Mingyue Palace.

"Sister, sister, please help me."

The child looked young, but his face was pale and thin, and his big eyes were filled with tears.

Ji Xingyao looked at him doubtfully: "Do you know me?"

The child nodded and said, "A few days ago, my elder sister wanted to apply medicine to my elder sister. I was squatting behind the stone lion over there and heard it."

Sister?

"Are you Xueyan's younger brother?"

"Hmm...hmm." The child nodded hurriedly, and as soon as he nodded, tears began to fall, plop like rain.

Ji Xingyao was a soft-hearted person by nature, and seeing that the child treated her as a life-saving straw, she couldn't bear to refuse.

There are too many people around Mingyue Palace and it is not suitable for conversation.

"Come, follow your sister."

Ji Xingyao was very familiar with the harem. She took them to a secluded little garden with a rockery. The rockery was lifelike, and inside the cave was a small stone table and stone bench, so they could discuss things without being discovered.

Although the child looks small, he has a very clever brain.

He followed Ji Xingyao silently, and as soon as he entered the cave, he knelt down before Ji Xingyao could say anything.

"Sister, my sister didn't steal Princess Amire's gems. She was wrongly accused."

Although Ji Xingyao had guessed it in his heart, he would not be fooled by just a few words.

"Tell me, why was your sister wronged?"

The child wiped her eyes, a large snot oozing from her nose. She looked rather shabby, but her words were well-reasoned: "Ever since my sister was whipped by the princess, she's been trembling with fear every time she sees her. How dare she steal the princess's jewel? Besides, such a precious jewel is hidden in Princess Amire's bedroom. We, the outsiders, live in the Mingyue Palace's annex and are not allowed to set foot in Princess Nanjiang's courtyard."

Ji Xingyao remained silent. This world was so unreasonable. There were so many wronged souls. She was not a Bodhisattva and had never thought about saving all living beings.

However, she was still curious as to why Amire would be so cruel to an actor.

"Why was your sister whipped by the princess?"

The child became sad when this was mentioned: "A few days ago, Princess Amire went to the Imperial Garden. I heard that she was offended by the Emperor. After returning to the palace, she tied up my sister and whipped her severely."

Royal Garden?

Ji Xingyao recalled the day when Li Zhao accompanied Wen Yuan to visit the Imperial Garden. Ami came running to look for him in a hurry. Li Zhao had to choose between the two and chose Wen Yuan.

Ami returned to Mingyue Palace with a rage in his heart, and it turned out that he took his anger out on Xueyan.

In this way, Xueyan became the victim of their plan.

Ji Xingyao also remembered a detail at this time. The time when Eunuch Zhou was splashed with hot tea by Ami, it seemed that it was because the emperor praised the female dan a few words. Could this female dan be Xueyan?

"Is your sister a female lead in the opera troupe?"

"Yes."

That's right.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have often had short lives. Xueyan was born with a good voice, which also made her an object of jealousy.

From this we can see that Amire is a jealous and narrow-minded person.

Thinking that Xueyan's tragic experience was more or less due to them, Ji Xingyao couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"What's your name?"

"Snow Eagle."

"Xueyan is your biological sister?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Xueying started crying again.

There was no sound when he cried, only bean-sized tears falling down, which was really heartbreaking to see.

Ji Xingyao sighed: "Don't cry first, and tell me, why did Princess Amire slander Xueyan?"

"Because... my sister accidentally saw the man hiding in the cellar of Mingyue Palace."

?

and many more!

The amount of information was too much for Ji Xingyao to digest for a while.

Is there a cellar in Mingyue Palace?

Is there a man hiding in the cellar?

This... is cuckolding Li Zhao.

It's so exciting.

Ji Xingyao clicked her tongue twice and began to imagine Li Zhao's frustrated look as if he had been hit by an "Ole Gei".

Having said that, the people of Southern Xinjiang are really brave. They even dare to "cheat" on the territory of Taifeng Dynasty.

An inexplicable feeling of pleasure flowed through Ji Xingyao's body.

Didn't Li Zhao want to make Amire the queen? Did he know that there was a "wild man" hiding in Amire's palace?

Who is this "wild man"? He dares to touch the emperor's woman.

"Did your sister see clearly what that man looked like?"

Xueying nodded and whispered, "I can see clearly that he is from Southern Xinjiang."

Ji Xingyao's pupils trembled slightly. He was from southern Xinjiang.

Men are not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will. Apart from Amire and fourteen maids, there can be no men from southern Xinjiang in Mingyue Palace.

When did this person sneak in?

Ji Xingyao looked at Xue Ying: "Does anyone else know about this?"

Xue Ying shook his head: "No, I'm the only one who knows. My sister won't let me tell you."

That night, Xueyan's back ached so much she couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and spent the time in the courtyard gazing at the stars. The opera troupe's villa was very close to the backyard of Mingyue Palace, and Xueyan accidentally discovered a man from southern Xinjiang emerging from the cellar.

She was terrified and quickly hid back in the house, thinking she was not discovered.

Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, Xueyan was executed by people from southern Xinjiang on the charge of stealing gems.
