Shi Yi gained a better understanding of the empress.
This is definitely much stronger than the Empress Xiahou Siyu, which is why the Empress can take care of a suzerain country like Ha Ci Ma.
In comparison, Xiahou Siyu is not as cold and ruthless as the empress, she seems more humane.
Unknowingly, Shi Yi followed the empress and walked through countless streets.
The imperial capital of the Kazuma Kingdom is very large, and with their current speed, they cannot complete the tour in one day.
There were no words spoken along the way, perhaps because everyone was intimidated by the empress.
They didn't dare to speak casually, fearing that they would accidentally offend the empress again, which was why they seemed so embarrassed and silent.
I don't know how long it took, but the empress suddenly stopped. Shi Yi, who was following behind, almost bumped into the empress.
"Xiao Yizi, tell me, who are these people?"
The empress asked Shi Yi so suddenly, which made Shi Yi a little confused.
However, he had to answer the empress. After thinking silently for a moment, he replied:
"Back to your majesty... Young Master, there must be something complicated behind these people. Young Master was targeted just after leaving the palace. It looks like there was a premeditated plan."
When Shi Yi said this, he said no more. He understood that the empress must also know, but she didn't say it.
Then she should know better than anyone who these people are.
It's very possible that the empress hasn't found any evidence yet, so she didn't arrest the person behind it immediately.
The fact that they left the palace today was a temporary decision made by the empress, and only a few of them knew about it.
How did the other party know? Could it be that they were already being targeted by the other party when they left the palace?
In other words, that person's informants are everywhere in the palace?
If this is true, then the empress will have a really hard time, and the throne will be very unstable.
Being watched secretly, her every move was under surveillance, she was absolutely on pins and needles.
As for who the other party is, Shi Yi really doesn't know. How long has he been in Kazakhstan?
He has no understanding of the forces in Kazakhstan, North Korea, and China, so he will not make any arbitrary judgments.
"Xiaoru, how many years have you followed me?"
The empress's voice was very calm, and there was no hint of any emotional changes at all, let alone anger or anything else.
However, the palace maid Xiaoru was extremely nervous, as if she was at a loss.
She still stepped forward tremblingly and answered the empress's question.
"Your Majesty, I have been serving you for twelve years."
For such a long time, he can be said to be the empress’ confidant.
No wonder the empress was very confident in Xiaoru's strength when she was in the restaurant, that's why.
Shi Yi thought in his heart that Xiaoru was a cultivator, and it was probably with the permission of the empress.
"Very good, you should understand how to do it!"
The empress's words were already so plain, without the slightest emotion.
Shi Yi didn't understand. After all, he had just met the empress. Shi Yi couldn't quite understand the riddle between them.
I don’t understand what the empress means. I follow her at twelve o’clock and ask her if she knows what to do. What does this mean?
Before Shi Yi could figure it out, Xiaoru suddenly knelt on the ground and began to beg the empress for mercy.
Looking at that expression, it seemed that Xiaoru had done something wrong, something very wrong.
She knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this slave has failed you and made a wrong decision. I hope Your Majesty will see that this slave has taken good care of you and please give me a complete body."
Immediately afterwards, a short sword appeared in Xiaoru's hand, and Shi Yi thought she was going to do harm to the empress.
He immediately rushed over and stood in front of the empress.
In order to win the trust of the empress, Shi Yi worked really hard.
What's more, he can't use Overlord Qi yet, and he doesn't dare to activate the defensive armor on his body.
puff!
The dagger pierced Xiaoru's body, and she actually...
Only then did Shi Yi understand what she just said. It seemed that the person who leaked the secret today was Xiaoru.
A palace maid who had been with the empress for twelve years betrayed her.
I really don’t know why she betrayed the empress.
Then why did she protect the Empress so hard in the restaurant? Is it to gain the Empress' trust?
As a palace maid who has served the empress for twelve years, she should have already gained the empress's trust. She does not need to use this method to gain the empress's trust.
So what is her purpose for doing this?
For a moment, Shi Yi really couldn't understand.
I also feel worthless for Xiaoru, maybe she has some unspeakable difficulties!
None of this matters now, Xiaoru has fallen into a pool of blood and is dead.
Even Xiao Wu on the side couldn't believe that this was true. The person who betrayed them was the companion who accompanied them every day.
The relationship between the two is very good, but how can she choose between the monarch and his ministers?
Because she knew very well that no matter what the circumstances, she could never betray the empress.
As the most personal maids and bodyguards around the empress, they should be even more so.
She wanted to go over and hold Xiaoru's body, and looked slightly towards the empress.
The empress took a deep breath and closed her eyes slightly, as if making a difficult decision.
"let's go!"
She didn't say much, and even pretended not to see Xiao Wu's pleading eyes.
The empress's behavior was very heartless, as if she had no sympathy at all.
Xiaoru is dead, even if she made a mistake this time.
However, she has already paid the price, not to mention that she still tried her best to protect the empress in the restaurant.
Even if it were not for these reasons, but for the sake of being together for the past twelve years, Xiao Wu should be allowed to bury Xiao Ru in peace.
But instead of doing that, she made the ruthless decision to leave.
"His Majesty......"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but speak, but before she could say the next words, she was interrupted by the empress.
His words were still so cold and his attitude was very firm.
"Walk."
Faced with the empress' domineering and ruthless attitude, Xiao Wu could only gather her emotions and follow the empress away silently.
Shi Yi had a clear view of all this, and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.
Call the empress ruthless! However, Shi Yi felt that the empress did the right thing.
Someone is chasing them now. What should they do if they are caught up by those people again?
As the king of a country, the empress thinks about issues more comprehensively than ordinary people.
It's not even what these palace maids can think of.
From this point, we can also see that this empress kills decisively and has clear rewards and punishments.
In this way, Shi Yi followed silently, wanting to see what the empress would do next.
Of course, what made him even more curious was who was the person behind the scenes?
How could he let a personal maid who had been following the empress for twelve years betray him? Is there any secret hidden in this?
Maybe the answer is hard to find, or maybe the empress understands, but she doesn't say it and no one dares to ask.
"Tonight, we will stay in this courtyard. Xiao Yizi, you come with me."
