Seeing Dongmei's painful expression and the blood flowing from her eyes, Concubine Yu said with relief: "Does it hurt? It's not over yet!"
As she spoke, the silver hairpins were pierced into both of her ears one after another, and the blood kept flowing down, dripping on the gold bricks as smooth as a mirror. Yu Liu didn't expect that Concubine Yu would be so crazy and cruel, and she was so scared that she saw it.
Cold sweat.
And this was not over yet. Dongmei's shoes and socks were removed again, and silver hairpins were nailed to her hands and feet one by one. They said that the fingers were connected to the heart. The pain was not much lighter than being stabbed in the eyes and ears. When Concubine Yu stopped, she stopped.
By that time, Dongmei was already dying and didn't even have the strength to call for help.
Concubine Yu stared coldly at Dongmei, who had served her for more than ten years, and said in a cold voice: "I will die, but it must be after becoming the empress dowager!" After saying this, Concubine Yu said no more and signaled to Yu.
Just like before, Liu pushed her into the water and drowned her. Dongmei was unable to resist, which made the drowning go very smoothly this time.
After his death was confirmed, Yu Liu squatted down and untied the rope. For some reason, he untied it very slowly this time. He didn't unti it for a long time, and his hands were shaking faintly.
Concubine Yu looked at him condescendingly and said, "What's wrong, are you scared?"
Yu Liu quickly denied it, "No, I'm just...just..."
Concubine Yu leaned over and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry. Dongmei ended up like this because she betrayed me and was disrespectful to me in every possible way. As long as you do things well and be loyal to me,
, I will never treat you badly."
Yu Liu nodded repeatedly, "My slave has always been loyal to his master and will never let him down." After a while, he raised his eyes and said carefully: "Master, if this happens, others will find out that Dongmei did not commit suicide.
This...what should I do?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way." Concubine Yu said with a smile: "Do it cleanly later and don't let anyone find out, otherwise you and I will be in trouble."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this." In the dead of night, Yu Liu threw them into Linyuan Pond respectively, and then went back to wipe away the blood on the ground. He originally wanted to throw away the hairpin together.
Entering the pool, she was stopped by Concubine Yu. She looked at the blood-stained silver hairpin for a moment and said slowly: "Throw it outside Yanxi Palace."
Yu Liuyi was shocked and said: "Master..."
As soon as he said two words, Concubine Yu raised her hand and said: "Don't ask any more questions. Just do as I say. Remember to throw it away in a concealed manner so that no one can easily find it." Seeing her say this, Yu Zheng had no choice but to throw it away.
Do as you are told.
The next day, Concubine Yu pretended that she could not find Xiao Quanzi and the other two, and ordered the palace people to search everywhere, but they were never found. After a few days, someone found two corpses floating in Linyuan Pond. She was so horrified that she hurried there.
Tell Xianyue.
Xianyue was talking to Mrs. Hu at that time. She was shocked when she heard this and hurried over together. When they arrived, Qian Moduo had already arrived first and was asking people to salvage the bodies in the pool.
When Xianyue and the others came over, they quickly bowed and saluted.
Xianyue glanced at the people busy on the shore, frowned and said, "Do you know who they are?"
Qian Moduo said respectfully: "I don't know what I want to say to you at the moment, but it will be fished out soon." As soon as he finished speaking, word came from the shore that a floating corpse had been fished out. Qian Moduo was about to go there.
Seeing that Xianyue wanted to come over, she quickly said: "My dear, the floating corpse looks terrible. You'd better not go over there, so as not to be frightened."
"It doesn't matter, just two floating corpses won't frighten me." With that said, Xianyue walked over. Seeing that Qian Moduo couldn't stop him, he had to follow. As for Hu, after hesitating for a moment,
, also followed.
The corpse had been immersed in water for many days. Although it was not disfigured, it was swollen all over. For a while, it was really difficult to distinguish the faces. It was only possible to tell that they were a man and a woman.
Qian Moduo said in a low voice: "After so many years of Linyuan Pond construction, this is the first time someone has committed suicide by drowning. It's really unlucky. I don't know who could not open his eyes."
While Xianyue was looking at herself, Mrs. Hu suddenly said beside her: "My dear, do you think that woman looks like Dongmei next to Concubine Yu?"
When she said that, it looked a bit similar. Zhichun interjected: "By the way, Yu Fei has been looking for Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi a few days ago, saying that they were missing. Could it be that these two
Human?" As she spoke, she boldly took a few steps closer, looked at them carefully, and then came back and said, "Master, I really look more and more like Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi."
Mrs. Hu frowned and said, "It's strange. The two of them are popular people around Concubine Yu. It doesn't make sense why they came here and drowned themselves for no reason."
Xianyue also had the same question in her mind. She thought for a moment and said, "Zhichun, go and ask Concubine Yu to come over immediately. As for Qi Kuan, go to the Yangxin Hall and tell the emperor about this." Death suddenly occurred in the palace.
After killing two people and causing such a big fuss, Hongli must report it.
After the two of them left, Xianyue frowned and stared at the two corpses. At this moment, she suddenly found something like a bruise on Dongmei's wrist exposed outside the sleeves. She moved in her heart and stepped forward to remove it.
Kai Dongmei's sleeves had such marks on both sides, and then I looked at Xiao Quanzi and it was the same.
It's strange that they had been tied or caught by someone. If so, their throwing into the water is very questionable.
Mrs. Hu was very surprised when she saw her movements. After she straightened up, she whispered: "Empress, what are you looking at?" After hearing Xianyue's doubts, she bit her lip and said: "Is it possible?
… They didn’t commit suicide by drowning, but they were killed and then threw themselves into the water to make it look like they committed suicide by drowning?”
"It is possible, but why do it? Who is so bold to kill people under the eyes of the emperor?" Xianyue asked a series of questions that made Hu speechless. She only said: "But if it was suicide, why would it happen?"
Such bruises."
"This question can only be known after we have examined the corpses." Not long after they finished speaking, Concubine Yu followed Zhichun in a hurry. As soon as she saw the two corpses, her legs became weak and she went to
He fell to the ground, but fortunately Yu Liu and another palace man held him up.
Concubine Yu whispered in a daze: "How could...how could this happen?" After a while, she gathered her composure and came to Xiayue. After reluctantly saluting, she said: "Mother, these two people are really in winter.
Mei and Xiaoquanzi?"
"I'm not sure, so I asked Concubine Yu to come over and argue. I wonder if they have any characteristics?" Facing Xiayue's words, Concubine Yu nodded repeatedly, thought about it and said, "I remember, I remember,
There is a black mole on Dongmei's arm, and as for Xiao Quanzi...he..." Concubine Yu frowned and said, "There is an inconspicuous scar on the eyebrow, which was injured in the early years."
