The binary stars and the moon were shattered into pieces, and the stars and the moon were no longer there, leaving only a pile of debris.

Ji Xingyao looked at the fragments on the ground blankly, most of his soul had been sucked away.

"Hey, you are blind, why did you bump into me? Look, you have torn Princess Amire's palace clothes."

Xiangyu was the first to complain to the evildoer, and she spoke very loudly, fearing that others would not hear her.

Ji Xingyao turned a deaf ear to him. She took out the handkerchief from her body and half-knelt on the ground to pick up the fragments of the jade pendant.

Seeing Ling'er had no reaction to her words, Xiangyu shouted angrily: "Don't play deaf and dumb, come with me to see Princess Amire."

Ji Xingyao treated her as air and just lowered his head to pick up the fragments.

Xiangyu was ignored, so she stepped forward and pried Ji Xingyao's shoulders.

"Get out!" Ji Xingyao didn't look back, but just growled the word "get out" from his throat.

"You...you ruined the palace clothes and you still dared to scold me. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Imperial Concubine. Let's go to Mingyue Palace and reason together."

Xiangyu called her Mingyue Palace and Princess Amire affectionately.

She knew clearly that Amire had no official rank and that matters in the harem should be handled by Imperial Concubine Wen Yuan.

But everyone knew that the imperial concubine was under house arrest by the emperor. She was pregnant, but she did not use her child to compete for favor. She had no power or influence in the palace. How could she be compared with Amire?

Xiangyu is determined to climb up the social ladder and believes that Amire is the real master of the harem.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and she firmly believes that Amire will be on her side.

Xiangyu straightened her back and acted pretentiously for a long time, threatening and warning Ling'er, but Ling'er didn't react at all.

She knelt on the ground, concentrating on picking up the fragments, while Xiangyu was farting.

Xiangyu was under great pressure in the laundry department. She was like a compressed balloon, and now she became so angry that she suddenly burst.

"What's the point of picking up this junk?" Xiangyu walked forward and kicked the half-moon fragment that Ji Xingyao had not had time to pick up into the pool next to the rockery.

Before she could fully retract her foot, Ji Xingyao jumped down in the direction of Cangyue.

puff.

Huge splashes of water wet the pebbles beside the pool.

Ji Xingyao took a deep breath, held his breath, went into the water, and searched in the mud, all in one go.

Xiangyu on the shore was confused. She didn't expect her to jump into the water.

She waited on the shore for a while, becoming more and more uneasy.

Seeing that Ji Xingyao had been underwater for a long time and had not come up, Qingyu finally panicked.

She wanted to escape, but she had deliberately shouted loudly before, attracting the young eunuchs nearby, so she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.

"What's going on?" The father-in-law's shrill voice sounded.

"Eunuch, she...she damaged the Mingyue Palace's clothes. Fearing her guilt...she threw herself into the river."

Qingyu spoke haltingly and was trembling with nervousness.

"Oh, is she dead?" asked the father-in-law.

Qingyu looked at the gradually calming lake and nodded: "Dead...dead."

"Tsk, you're always looking for trouble." The father-in-law covered his nose in disgust.

Such incidents were common in the palace. Palace maids who made mistakes were afraid of being punished, so they jumped into the river, took poison, and even hanged themselves. There were countless such cases.

There are always the same few ways to commit suicide, nothing new.

Just as the father-in-law was about to find someone to fish out the body, a dark figure suddenly jumped into the river.

Xiangyu opened her mouth in shock and murmured, "Prince...Prince."

The father-in-law, who had been indifferent to the matter, became nervous and shouted shrilly: "Help, help! Help!"

Under the pool, Ji Xingyao was carefully exploring every corner when suddenly a person appeared beside her, grabbed her collar and swam upstream.

As Ji Xingyao struggled, her fingers touched the edge of the waning moon, but the person behind her was so strong that she just couldn't reach it.

In desperation, she kicked the man hard under the water, bent down, and finally found the fragments in the mud.

Before she could be happy, someone roughly grabbed her collar and pulled her out of the water.

"Hu, hu, hu." The rush of fresh air saved his heart and lungs that were almost suffocated. Ji Xingyao tightly grasped Canyue and lay on the edge of the pool, gasping for breath.
