Yen had used the knife and cut herself flinging her blood all over the walls. Before placing the blade back in the maid's hand and moving her position to make it look like the maid had committed suicide. She sat down and pretended to be dead she waited.
Ran appeared not too long afterward. She looked at the scene with a seemingly happy face, before she found that her legs were frozen and she was at her knees.
"Did you really think no one would notice?" Yen said not to far from her. Ran had a shocked face and pale face. "Solicitation, Bribery, Fraud, Manipulation, Murder"
"Y..o..u" Ran could barely speak as she was paralyzed. Yen walked in front of her so that Ran can see her.
"U.ggg.hhh" Ran had tried to say something, Yen stepped cruelly on her chest
"Let me tell you a story about Consort Jie's former head maid. She had found out her Consort had been cruelly plotted against. But before she was able to help the head maid was laid to waste and taken to a place where she would never see the light of day. One day a lone traveler passed by and saved her. She was riddled with poison and diseases, she was going to die, but do you know what her last words were. They were "Thank You" and was it nothing else."
Yen moved her foot to Ran's neck and started to crush it "I wanted to at least do something for her, so I Stuck around. Until I found my Answer it"
Snap, Ran stopped moving "It was you."
Before long a fire had mysteriously started in Garnet Palace burning it down. Two bodies were found in the brunt to a crisp, one found to the head maid Fong, and the other was assumed to be Jade palace's maid Yen. The disappearance of the other maid Ran was suspicious, as they found evidence of her being there and leaving. A search went out to find this maid to question her involvement in the fire and the murder of the other two maids. But, to no avail.
Somewhere unknown an elegant woman who had a striking resemblance to consort Jie sat drinking tea alone. She had a twisted smile on her Face as if everything was going smoothly before her face paled as she spat out something black and fell to the ground composing. Yen stood before her as she used her heal and kicked the women to turn her over.
"Consort Jie's beloved Aunt, a woman who became a merchant after she killed her husband. Or should I fiancé, you both, never got past the marriage bed. Since you didn't want the slime of an old man to touch you. Not, when you have another in your heart" The women's pale looked in fear at Yen who sat down in the chair and watched her suffering.
"G.uar..ds"
"All your guards are dead," Yen said emotionlessly as she continued to talk "You had a hand in the face powders poisonous production. And did it so cleanly that no would notice. You wanted to be the Emperor's concubine before he came to the throne. But, Consort Yahui got in the way, and you ended up being suppressed by her. So, you secretly found a way to manipulate the head maid into accidently poisoning her Consort's child. After all, it wasn't every day that you get the chance to take down your biggest enemy while she's weak. And then man she adorned choose yet another woman that wasn't yourself a red-haired vixen. And afterwards you own niece had gotten ahead of you too both women falling pregnant. So, you thought that both women had to go as well. That's why you raised someone you trust to take down your enemy's in secret, someone who if caught would never trance back to you.
The Woman eyes and mouth started to bleed as she struggled, she had watched her until she no longer moved before leaving.
Yen walked down a lonely road she had a packed her items beforehand. She thought about this world a little before she took one step into the fountain room.
She still hated maid's though
