The two servants who were subdued were also stunned when they heard the question. They looked at each other before they suddenly burst in strength and rushed to the location where the broken porcelains were located.
"Stop them!"
Slash!
Using the broken porcelain, the two of them cut off their own neck, ending their life. There was no pillar whatsoever at the backyard, making it difficult for them to kill themselves by slamming their head. Thus, the second option was to use sharp object.
Luckily there was a sharp object here.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
This time, the screams were even louder. Some girls even fainted and nearly fell down. Their servants quickly stepped forward to help them.
Nan Hua's eyes flashed coldly before her body swayed naturally then fell to the back. Xiao Yun, who was nearby, rushed over and held Nan Hua tightly. She called out in panic as if Nan Hua had truly fallen unconscious.
"Miss! Miss!"
The noble lady who helped Nan Hua just now was not in any better condition. Her face was terribly pale and her breathing was rough. In the next second, she also fainted and the servant helped her up.
It was chaos.
With such situation, it was impossible for the banquet to continue. What was supposed to be a small show ended up in a catastrophe.
"Let them out," Empress Dowager Mei quickly gave an order. "Call their family members to help bring them back. The banquet had ended."
"We'll start to investigate everyone who used to know about this matter." Empress Dowager Yan was calmer than Empress Dowager Mei. She looked like she was only seeing normal performance and not someone who died in front of her as she looked at Princess Yue. "Yue'er, you should rest."
"Yes, Imperial Mother." Princess Yue curtsied and turned back with gloom face. She was glad that the party ended early, but this was not the result she wanted.
Who would want their party to end with bloodshed?
Empress Dowager Mei nodded. "There are only a few people who were close with Yue'er. I'll definitely do the investigation well."
"Jie Jie, if you need any help, please tell me."
"There's no need, Mei Mei. I can handle it."
Empress Dowager Yan smiled and nodded, lowering her eyes to the cup of tea in front of her once more. Honestly, she didn't want to be bothered with these matters, but even though she was just a woman without power now, there were a lot of people who wanted a piece of her.
How troublesome.
At this moment, Shangguan Mi was also acting like she was scared and sat down with heavy breathing. Her eyes were looking at the male servants who were coming from the main hall with confusion and apprehension.
Who said that sentence?
That sentence had turned her plan completely. She was still originally still wanting to make things more difficult for Shangguan Die by dropping more words from the two servants. But now, they had died.
