Chapter 479 - 479 Why Did You Have to Say That?!

479 Why Did You Have to Say That?!
They were both maids and even shared a room.
They had been chatting and laughing the night before, but the other party was now a corpse.
She had seen many corpses, but the sight of the corpse of her companion, to whom she could tell everything, terrified her.
She would have run elsewhere to hide if the Old Madam was not here.!!
Xue Yingyue noticed that Ling Ye did not look too good. She glanced at Ling Long’s corpse and frowned.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and drag her out to be disposed of. Are you expecting me to dispose of her myself?”
Xue Yingyue felt really unlucky. She was supposed to capture An Jiuyue today to threaten Qian Jiyun. She had not expected to be the one threatened.
When she thought about how Qian Jiyun had taken away her trump card, she felt extremely uneasy.
Qian Jiyun dared to lay out his cards on the table so openly because he was sure she would not dare tell anyone about this—she would die if she did.
How could she not be angry that the person she had always schemed against had been plotting against her?
But what was the use of being angry? It was pointless.
Qian Jiyun remained alive and well. In particular, those people would not let him die. They were adamant about obtaining something that might not even exist.
“Yes, yes. I’ll get someone now,” Ling Er replied and turned around.
The courtyard was littered with corpses. They had to clean it up. It was too freaky.
Soon, many servants arrived in the courtyard. They carried the corpses onto a cart, covered them with a white cloth, and pulled them away.
“Sigh.” Xue Yingyue could finally heave a sigh of relief.
She had to consider her options. Qian Jiyun had laid out his cards on the table in front of her, but she could not do the same in front of those people. Surviving in the coming days would be difficult.
If she made Qian Jiyun unhappy, she would not be able to live. If she made those people unhappy, she would not be able to live either.
“Qian Jiyun, why did you have to say that?!”
She could not help but blame Qian Jiyun in her heart. Why did he have to reveal this secret? Wouldn’t it be better to keep it a secret?
Now that she had the short end of the stick, what should she do?
…
In the imperial study…
The old Emperor had expected An Jiuyue’s capture to fail.
He would have thought it strange if the people around Qian Jiyun were so easy to catch. The fact that they were difficult to capture proved that they were Qian Jiyun’s people.
Of course, he did not care if An Jiuyue was captured. He was more concerned that Prince De had been found.
Well, they did not actually find Prince De. Instead, someone chucked him outside the Prince De Residence in the middle of the afternoon. He was restrained and could not escape.
“Have you found out who did it?” the old Emperor asked Eunuch Zheng coldly.
Prince De was chucked like that, and many people outside his residence witnessed it. The Emperor had lost all his face.
Of course, he would not blame Prince De. Instead, he would condemn those who dared to attack him in secret. They were simply detestable. He would make them beg for death when he caught them.
“Your Majesty, we haven’t found them,” Eunuch Zheng replied respectfully.
He also wanted to know who it was.
That person was capable of finding Prince De, whom they had been searching for several days, and even chucked him outside the Prince De Residence. Finding this person was a tricky problem.
