Faced with the situation, Emperor Yan was helpless and finally agreed.

However, it was also said that after the book was compiled, it had to be reviewed by some ministers to determine that it was suitable for promotion in the academy before it was implemented.

Lin Xiaoyue and the others hurriedly thanked the Emperor for his kindness, and they relaxed.

Emperor Yan quickly asked them to take a seat before the celebration began.

Everyone in the hall was soon immersed in the joy of winning against Chu Jin’s envoy.

At the same time.

Consort Shu, who had changed into an outfit of a palace maid, hid in the toilet and had just passed the last inspection.

They finally left the palace.

The eunuch opened the lid of the toilet bowl and helped Consort Shu out.

Consort Shu saw Li Xiao waiting at the side and hurried forward.

She wanted to say something but was stopped by Li Xiao.

“There are clothes prepared in the carriage. You can change on the way.”

“After we leave the city, listen to the coachman and wait at the manor.”

“Tomorrow when Prince Anyang leaves the capital, 1 will follow him. When we get there, I’ll bring you back to Qingshi Town.” Li Xiao said in a deep voice.

Consort Shu was shocked.

“If you go back, what about Yue’er?” She asked Li Xiao as she walked towards the carriage.

“I’ve already spoken to Yue’er. I’ll send you back first. After that, I’ll go to the capital to pick her up.”

Consort Shu suddenly pulled Li Xiao back.

“No. Yue’er was a woman. How can you leave her alone in the capital?”

She had not forgotten that her sister-in-law had come to the capital because of her.

If she left, something would happen to her sister-in-law if she stayed in the capital. How was she going to live in the future?

Li Xiao’s face turned solemn.

“With Master protecting Yue’er, she will be fine.”

“Moreover, Master still has instructions and plans for Yue’er…” Li Xiao looked at Consort Shu.

“We will discuss this matter tomorrow on the way back. Now, hurry up and get in the carriage. If you delay, there will be changes.”

Consort Shu’s expression changed slightly, and she finally nodded.

Li Xiao sent Consort Shu onto the carriage and instructed the coachman.

Only when the carriage was heading out of the city did he turn around and leave.

An hour later.

In Consort Shu’s palace.

“Come quickly! Consort Shu has fallen into the water!” A scream suddenly broke the silence.

Not long after, a group of guards appeared and asked about the situation of the palace maid.

Immediately, someone jumped into the pool and began to search for Consort Shu.

The situation was urgent, and the news was quickly sent to the Imperial Consort’s Palace and the front hall.

When the Imperial Consort heard the news, she could not continue playing mahjong.

She brought the three consorts who were playing mahjong with her and immediately went to Consort Shu’sroom.

In the front hall, Emperor Yan, who was originally smiling, flew into a rage when he heard the news.

Then, he didn’t bother about the matters in the front hall anymore and went straight to the rear palace.

Along the way, Emperor Yan’s face was dark and his footsteps were fast.

He had already warned her not to commit suicide. He also sent people to keep an eye on Consort Shu’s chambers, but she still fell into the water.

When they finally arrived, the Imperial Consort and the others stepped forward and bowed.

However, Emperor Yan ignored her. He went forward and kicked Consort Shu’s personal palace maid to the ground.

“Behead her!” Then, he said with hatred.

The palace maid’s expression changed drastically and she hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

Seeing that the guards were about to come up and drag her away, the Imperial Consort quickly went forward to plead for mercy.

“Your Majesty, please calm down.”

“Consort Shu fell into the water and we haven’t found her yet. Don’t be in a hurry to deal with Lu Yi.”

Emperor Yan glanced at the Imperial Consort with an unfriendly expression.

The Imperial Consort did not take it to heart. She continued, “1 have to ask first. How did Consort Shu fall into the water?”

“Lu Yi is Consort Shu’s personal palace maid and has served her for many years. If we deal with it rashly and Consort Shu finds out, I’m afraid it won’t be good.”

As expected, Emperor Yan’s expression improved a little when he heard this.

Consort Shu indeed valued this palace maid.

“Speak. What exactly happened?!” Emperor Yan looked angrily at the maid.

Lu Yi’s body trembled.

“Her Highness said she wanted to stay by the pool, alone for a while.”

“I saw that there was a slight wind, so…so I went back to the room to get a cloak for Her Highness.”

“In the end, when I came back, 1 heard something heavy fall into the water.”

“When 1 ran to the side of the pool, 1 found that the Empress was gone. Wuuuu…that sound of falling into the water must be the Empress, wuwu…” Lu Yi started crying.

Emperor Yan’s face had already turned black.

“So, you didn’t see Consort Shu fall into the water at all?!” He asked in a deep voice.

Lu Yi’s body stiffened.

“No, but…there was sound of something falling into the water-”

Emperor Yan went forward and kicked Lu Yi again, causing her to fall to the ground..
