Bai Zhi'er seemed to have suffered a second blow.
She widened her watery eyes: "What?!"
No wonder she hadn't seen anyone like Jin Lian since entering the palace.
Originally, Bai Zhi'er thought that since Long Xiyuan didn't favor Fu Xiru, he might have just sent her Palace Attendant somewhere to do hard labor.
However, Bai Zhi'er never expected that they would actually die.
Long Xiyuan explained, "They were all maidservants whom Xiru brought into the palace from her home, each extremely loyal."
"The day after Xiru handed the accounts to me, the Imperial Guard reported that they hanged themselves in Xiru's palace hall."
"Jin Lian left a final note, saying she wanted to follow Xiru."
Bai Zhi'er staggered back a few steps, and Feng Fuce immediately supported her.
Tears hung from her watery lashes, trembling uncontrollably.
"How could this be?"
According to Jin Lian's character, it was indeed possible she would follow Fu Xiru.
Bai Zhi'er looked at Long Xiyuan incredulously.
