Chapter 363 Palace Maid
Di Siyu just had the idea of trying, because Yan Zhou's trip was nothing more than investigating whether Xi Yinrong and Su Chanyi were robbed or perhaps rescued. If that was the case, how could he return to the palace so soon?&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou appeared outside the palace so early to investigate the place where Xi Yinrong disappeared, so she dared to think boldly that Yan Zhou should have come back to see the cold palace where Su Chanyi lives.&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou originally planned to leave, regardless of Di Siyu's. After waiting for a long time, she knew she was tired and went back.&1t;/p>
But he thought of Di Hu's help to him before. Although he didn't feel anything about Di Siyu, she was Di Hu's daughter after all. Now she would treat her as a favor to Di Hu before.&1t;/p>
So he hesitated for a moment, and asked Xuan Yu to negotiate with the guards guarding the gate, and put Di Siyu in.&1t;/p>
But he didn't know that his behavior made Di Siyu misunderstand. He thought that Yan Zhou felt a little softened because of her offensive, and he became concerned about her, making her more determined to follow Yan Zhou's thoughts.&1t;/p>
After Yan Zhou arrived at the cold palace, he first went to see the palace maid who said he had met Su Chanyi before she disappeared.&1t;/p>
"How long has it been between when you saw Su Chanyi at the end when you saw her missing?" Yan Zhou looked at the palace maid like a sharp knife, as if it was impossible to hide.&1t;/p>
The palace maid knew that this was the third prince who had just been recognized by the emperor, so she dared not be negligent. She quickly saluted and said, "If you say that to the third prince, I saw her once when I was delivering lunch to Empress Su at noon. Then, after an hour, I wanted to clean up the bowls and chopsticks that Empress Su had used after lunch. However, when I wanted to go, Empress Su disappeared. After searching all the cold palace, I couldn't find it."&1t;/p>
"Then did you see anything abnormal when you saw her last time?"&1t;/p>
The palace maid shook her head and said, "I don't have any abnormalities in my life. Empress Su sat there as usual, and she never paid attention to me."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou didn't ask anything useful from the palace maids, so he had to ask the palace maids to take them to the place where Su Chanyi lived before she disappeared to see if there were any clues.&1t;/p>
He and Xuan Yu searched the house separately. Xuan Yu carefully inspected every window in the house. Finally, he found a trace of a window that was considered to be destroyed. He hurriedly looked up and said to Yan Zhou: "Master, there is a damaged window here."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou immediately stepped forward to check, and when he finally saw the traces of the damage on the window, he suddenly narrowed his eyes. He pulled the window up hard, and then saw from the open window that there were a sparse flower bushes under the window, but there were no flowers on it now, and there were a few sparse leaves on each plant.&1t;/p>
After looking at the scene outside the window, he suddenly turned his head, narrowed his eyes and stared at the palace maid tightly and asked, "When did you start working in the cold palace?"&1t;/p>
"Return to the third prince, because the old palace maid who was guarding the cold palace died, I was transferred here two days ago."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou stared at her tightly and said in a cold voice: "Where did you call it?"&1t;/p>
The palace maid lowered her head and replied, "I was transferred from the washing clothes bureau. Because the female official disliked me for being unsophisticated in doing things, she asked me to choose someone to come to this cold palace, and the female official chose me."&1t;/p>
"How long has it been since I entered the palace?"&1t;/p>
"Three years...three years."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou nodded, then turned his gaze, as if these questions were just randomly asked. He looked at the very new traces of damage on the window and asked again: "What did the guards who came to investigate before said?"&1t;/p>
"The adults said that Empress Su must have been taken away by someone breaking the window, so the guards at the door of the cold palace did not appear."&1t;/p>
He suddenly asked, "Do you think so too?"&1t;/p>
The palace maid looked up at him in surprise, not understanding why Yan Zhou suddenly asked her opinion, but she still calmly replied: "I don't know, but this window in this room is broken, and there is no other damage. I guess the matter is similar to what the guards said."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou looked at the broken window frame and shouted to the person behind him: "Xuan Yu, arrest the person."&1t;/p>
"Yes, master." Xuan Yu responded and appeared in front of the palace maid the next moment. He locked her hands.&1t;/p>
Di Siyu heard Yan Zhou questioning the palace maid but didn't dare to interrupt for a long time. Seeing Xuan Yu arresting the palace maid, he finally couldn't help but speak out, "Yan Zhou, why did you ask your subordinates to arrest this palace maid? She did nothing wrong."&1t;/p>
The palace maid also knelt down immediately and said, "Third Princess can spare my life. I don't know what I have done to offend the third prince. I hope the third prince will forgive me and spare my life."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou ignored the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and asked Di Siyu: "Do you really think this palace maid is innocent?"&1t;/p>
"Of course, if she really did something, why would she stay here? Waiting to be arrested?"&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou raised his eyebrows without comment, and explained nothing, "Since you think she is innocent, then you are innocent. Today's investigation ends here. You can go back. I will send General Di a copy of the subsequent investigation results."&1t;/p>
He was not interested in dealing with this, it was really naive. Di Siyu was obviously five years older than Yun Yizhu, but it made people feel that her mind was not easy to use at all. At least she couldn't feel that they had a very tacit understanding of each other like him and Yun Yizhu.&1t;/p>
He said to Xuan Yu again: "Leave the person to Ada and the others to see if he can ask for anything." A Er stayed in Nanlin Kingdom, so this interrogation could only make Ada and the others come.&1t;/p>
At this time, the palace maid was kneeling on the ground and kept saying, "Third Highness, I don't know what mistakes I have made. I beg the Third Highness to forgive me, I beg the Third Highness."&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou sneered. The palace maid was still pretending. Xuan Yu also felt his master's impatience and grabbed the person kneeling on the ground and took him away.&1t;/p>
The palace maid's lowered gaze suddenly changed, and a vicious look was revealed in her eyes. Before Xuan Yu could lift her up, she suddenly burst out and ran towards Yan Zhou. At the same time, she reached out and pulled out a soft sword from her waist, and was about to take the opportunity to attack Yan Zhou.&1t;/p>
Yan Zhou snorted "Overbial power." Then he reached out and clamped the very sharp soft sword between his fingers. He used light force, and with a "clang" sound, the soft sword actually broke in response to the sound.&1t;/p>
Di Siyu exclaimed. She didn't expect that this palace maid was really not simple. Then she hurriedly stepped forward to see Yan Zhou's hand, but Yan Zhou put away his fingers and avoided her movements.&1t;/p>
The palace maid was shocked when she saw her weapon being destroyed and quickly wanted to retreat, but was blocked by Xuan Yu and finally failed to escape. She was caught by Xuan Yu and sent it to A Da immediately.&1t;/p>
