C315 (2/2)
The emperor rubbed his glabella in pain, then hugged Chen Ming and went to rest.
Right now, the only thing he could be sure of was that Chen Mingxi had a clean background and that she was a well-behaved and considerate person. It was a pity that after entering the palace for half a year, she was suppressed by the Empress to the point where she couldn't lift her head up.
When he thought of how Chen Mingxi had struggled to survive and still maintained her true nature, Ye Feihan pitifully kissed the top of her head.
Imperial Concubine Jin had fainted from the fever and was carried back to the Heavy Flower Hall by the eunuchs. The stench of blood in the Heavy Flower Hall had already dispersed. The corpses of the palace maids and eunuchs had been silently cleaned up, and Bi Yu's corpse was nowhere to be found. If not for the secret passage opening and the dried blood on the east light of Hunan by her bed, Imperial Concubine Jin would have almost forgotten the moment of her death.
”Cough, cough, cough …” ”All of you can leave now.” Imperial Concubine Jin coughed out a mouthful of blood as she shook her head with a bitter smile. Even if there was no assassination attempt, the end of the night was probably near.
The eunuchs dreaded life and death the most. They also felt that it was too much for Imperial Concubine Jin to be unlucky and receive the orders.
Imperial Concubine Jin closed her eyes tiredly. After a long while, she heard the old and broken wooden door creak open once again.
Imperial Concubine Jin only wanted to leave quietly, so she said, ”I don't have any orders, you can leave now.”
”…” The person did not say a word as he landed lightly on the bed. Sensing the strange atmosphere, the imperial concubine abruptly opened her eyes. She only felt a pain in her heart before she died without being able to cry out in alarm.
It's her?!
That person quietly looked at Imperial Concubine Jin who had lost her breath and let out a soft laugh. Then, like a ghost running in the dark night, he disappeared with a leap.
”Where is he? Didn't you say that I'm going to die? ” Princess Qin Xuan stood hesitantly in front of the Heavy Flower Hall as she turned her head to ask the young palace maid who had sent the message.
Unfortunately, the little palace maid was so frightened that she was stammering. She didn't know what she was talking about, but she could only stutter and stutter: ”The Empress isn't doing very well. The Empress won't be able to do it.”
”Won't you know once you go in and take a look?”
In the dim light, Qin Xuan saw Imperial Concubine Jin staring at her with her eyes wide open. Princess Qin Xuan felt a chill run from her feet to the top of her head, causing her hair to stand on end.
”This …” What exactly is going on? ”
A closer look revealed that Imperial Concubine Jin's heart was pierced by a sharp and shiny golden hairpin. The flower bird golden hairpin was a pair with the one that Princess Qin Xuan was wearing.
How could Princess Qin Xuan not realize that someone was purposefully framing her? She immediately grabbed the small palace maid by the throat and pressed her onto the table by the window. Following the movements of the two, the flickering lantern light from the Horned Sheep Palace rolled on the ground.
This is bad! He had been tricked!
The young palace maid who had tricked Princess Qin Xuan into coming here seemed to have erupted with the power to move mountains and fill the sea. She pushed aside Princess Qin Xuan and shouted, ”Murder!”
Lin An, who had followed Princess Qin Xuan over, thought that someone had hurt the princess. He hurriedly rushed in with a group of palace maids and eunuchs. The first thing he saw was Princess Qin Xuan stabbing the little palace maid to death with a golden hairpin, ”You dog slave, who gave you the guts to scam and frame this princess!”
Lin An felt that he was finished. He had no way to explain himself now.
