When the empress heard this, she was furious and scolded Si Tianjian so much that if the ministers hadn't stopped him, Si Tianjian would have turned into a corpse in the next second.

Shi Yi was summoned again and became very angry. He ordered Shi Yi to find out the person behind the scenes within three days.

But before she could return to her concubine's residence, a new corpse was received from the Yamen.

They are the bodies of three traders.

"What's going on?" Shi Yi covered her mouth and nose with a white cloth, but the bloody look in front of her was still a bit scary, at least for a home girl like her who had never seen the world.

"According to eyewitnesses, these people were doing business on the street at the time. They were fine, but suddenly their facial features were bleeding and they fell to the ground. When they came over to take a look, they were already dead." The prefect raised his sleeves and wiped them.

The fine sweat on his face showed that in just three days, nearly ten people died.

"What did Wu Zuo say?" Shi Yi frowned and looked at the body and asked.

"We haven't found anything abnormal." Now he was wiping sweat more frequently, and even his calves couldn't help but tremble.

"Does that mean the cause of death is unknown?" Shi Yi stared at the prefect coldly, and the latter fell to his knees with a frightened sound.

"Your Majesty..."

"Sir, five more corpses appeared on the street, and they all died in the same way!" Before the prefect could say anything, the news from the Yamen almost made him fall to the ground.

Shi Yi lowered his eyes, it was really exciting, people were dying one after another, no reason could be found, and there were no wounds. What a terrible game!

And because of her status, she had to come into contact with these dead bodies every day, even though she wanted to find a place to hide.

Although this is tiring, it is undoubtedly the fastest way to collect information.

——

When Shi Yi returned to the mansion, his face looked exhausted. Deaths occurred one after another without warning, and the sacrifice ceremony...

Shi Yi is in distress here, but the people are in panic. They can't sleep well all night long. They have no energy during the day and dare not sleep at night.

I was afraid that I would lose sleep by accident.

The entire Kyoto was instantly in a state of depression and panic.

Every household closed their doors tightly, and even the shops on the street that usually had a busy business were closed. Except for the patrolling government officials, there was not a single person in sight on the street.

On the fourth day of the game, the death toll increased to twenty-five. As they walked along the street, the houses with white sails were particularly conspicuous. The cold wind blew and the white sails swayed, which was a bit weird, like a scene from a horror movie.

At the same time, more and more people came to impeach Shi Yi every morning, saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess's sacrifice ceremony angered the gods, and the gods sent down punishments, which led to the phenomenon of unwarranted deaths.

The empress killed several ministers for this reason, and the first one to be killed was Si Tianjian, hoping to scare the monkeys. After all, she only had one heir.

And his three sons are eyeing their position eagerly. In the hundred years since the founding of the Longyue Kingdom, women have succeeded to the throne, and men are not qualified.

Even if she is incompetent, she cannot destroy the legacy of her ancestors in her own hands.

So Si Yi is safe, at least for the time being.

——

The fifth day of the game.

Shi Yi followed the Minister of Dali Temple to the Hongshang Pavilion to collect the body. The scene was in a mess. The mattress was dyed bright red with blood. A woman was wearing tulle and huddled in the corner unconsciously. On the bloody mattress, there was a woman lying on the corner.

All that was left was a man wearing trousers.

And this man is the son of the prime minister and his second son.

The front leg's mother had just died, and the second son had burped again. Shi Yi frowned. Because of this kid, the court probably had another group of officials who wanted to kill him.
