"Slap mouth!" Before Liu Qi could come to his senses, he had been slapped twice on the face, which was burning. After Qi Kuan stepped back, Xia Yue said indifferently: "If I let you hear anything from your mouth again,
When you hear lies, you can't be so gentle." Under Liu Qi's panicked eyes, she asked again: "Last night, when Xiao Yuanzi came to see you, what did he say to you?"
A heavy panic flashed across Liu Qi's eyes. He wanted to deny it, but was afraid of being beaten, so he simply shut up and said nothing. Xianyue smiled coldly and walked slowly to him, "Liu Qi, I know that you entered the palace because of
In exchange for money, you can treat your brother's illness, but now, you are pushing your brother and father to the cliff. If you take another step forward, they will fall off the cliff and be shattered into pieces! And you... are the murderer of the whole family.
, is this the result you want?"
Liu Qi clenched his hands tightly and said in a trembling voice: "I don't understand what your Majesty means."
Xianyue stood up and walked slowly to him, saying in a cold voice: "I will definitely find out the truth about your concubine's abortion. The only difference is whether you tell me or I find out by myself. If it's the latter,
Liu Qi, not only are you going to die, but your whole family will be sentenced to death for murdering the imperial concubine and deceiving the emperor. Is this what you want?"
Liu Qi was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. At this moment, Zheng Jiu hurried in and said in a panic: "Master, something bad is going on. Something happened in Chonghua Palace."
Xianyue's face changed and she immediately said, "What happened?"
"Concubine Yi... Concubine Yi, she..." Zheng Jiu hesitated and did not dare to say anything. Xianyue's heart sank, and she calmed down and urged: "Hurry up and tell me what is going on!"
Zheng Jiu gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "The palace attendants in Chonghua Palace discovered that Concubine Yi...she committed suicide by hanging from a beam!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed their colors, especially Xianyue. The little blood on her cheeks was instantly drained of color, and she became paler than paper. She stared at Zheng Jiu and said in a trembling voice: "You...
…What did you say, say it again!”
Zheng Jiu let out a mournful cry, knelt down and said, "Master, please show me your condolences!"
Xianyue shouted sharply: "I asked you to say it again, didn't you hear it? Say it!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Kuan quickly stepped forward to support Xianyue, who was trembling all over, and whispered: "Master, take care of yourself, you can't get angry now."
Xianyue ignored him, just stared at Zheng Jiu, gritted her teeth and said, "Say!"
Zheng Jiu said helplessly: "Replying to the master, Concubine Yi... committed suicide by hanging from a beam!"
Xianyue's eyes turned black for a while, and her body leaned back weakly. The exclamations of Qi Kuan and others rang in her ears. Until Zheng Jiu spoke again, she comforted herself that she had heard wrongly. Huang's
How could she hang herself from a cliff, but Zheng Jiu's words ruthlessly shattered her last hope.
Qi Kuan helped Xianyue sit down in the chair, and looked at Zheng Jiu with an ugly expression: "Is this serious?"
Zheng Jiu said with a bitter face: "If it weren't for the absolutely true news, how could I dare to report to the master? By now, the emperor and Concubine Ying should have gone to Chonghua Palace."
"But there is no reason. How could Concubine Yi commit suicide?" Before Qi Kuan finished speaking, Xianyue, who had just sat down just now, struggled to stand up again, gritting her teeth and said: "Bei Jianyu, I
I’m going to Chonghua Palace.”
"Master, you almost fainted just now, or..." Before Qi Kuan could finish speaking, Xianyue shouted angrily: "Get ready immediately!"
Faced with her almost collapsed expression, Qi Kuan did not dare to say anything. He immediately went down to prepare a carriage and hurried to Chonghua Palace. Before he got close to Chonghua Palace, he could faintly hear crying. As he got closer, the crying
The sound became more and more obvious, revealing endless grief, sorrow, and despair.
Such cries were like heavy punches hitting Xianyue's chest repeatedly, making her face look even more ugly and her teeth clenching.
Hongli was already in the Chonghua Palace, and he was also very sad. Although Huang had made a mistake, he never wanted her to die, but she couldn't think of it, so she committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
When Hongli saw Xianyue coming in, he quickly stopped her and said, "Queen, don't go in."
Xianyue looked at him expressionlessly and said very slowly: "I am going to see Concubine Yi!"
Hongli endured the sadness in his heart and said: "Concubine Yi has gone. You are pregnant now and it is not appropriate to see her. Listen to me and go back first!" After that, he said: "Qi Kuan, help the queen back to the palace immediately."
"Go away!" Xianyue shook off Qi Kuan's hand, stared at Hongli with a ferocious look and said, "If I want to see Concubine Yi, I must see her!"
"Queen..." As soon as Hongli said two words, Xianyue knelt down and said: "If the emperor does not allow me to see you, I will not be able to kneel here for a long time!"
In this world, if there is anyone who can make Hongli helpless, it must be Xianyue. He sighed, helped Xianyue up and said, "Okay, I will go in with you."
Mrs. Hu and Xia Qing were crying bitterly in the inner hall. When they saw Xianyue coming in, they wanted to speak, but when they came to their lips, they turned into endless cries.
All this happened too fast, and overnight, Huang changed from a living person to a cold corpse, which was really unacceptable to them.
Xianyue walked numbly to the bed, where a man with a white cloth covering his face was lying there. When Xianyue raised her hand and touched a corner of the white cloth, Hongli whispered: "Xiayue, don't look at it."
Xianyue ignored his words and slowly pulled up the white cloth, revealing the all-too-familiar face under the white cloth and... the shocking bruises on her neck.
"No, it can't be Concubine Yi. There must be something wrong. It can't be her!" In such murmurs, crystal tears kept falling from her eyes, dripping on the Queen's golden phoenix dress.
On the top, it turns into a few scattered traces.
Seeing her like this, Hongli felt uncontrollably sad and wiped her tears and said: "Queen, you have already seen Concubine Yi. I will accompany you back. Staying here for a long time will not be good for you and your child.
"
As soon as Hongli's hand left, Xianyue's cheeks were covered with tears again. She bent down, stroked Huang's cold cheek, and whispered: "Have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look?"
Xiao Mencius, who was kneeling beside him, wiped his tears and said: "As the Queen, as soon as I found out that my master had hanged himself, I immediately rescued my master and then went to ask the imperial doctor, but...the imperial doctor said that it was too late and I could not save my master!"
At this point, he started to cry and said sadly: "If the slave had come in earlier, Master...she might have been saved, but the slave really deserves to die!"
Xianyue murmured: "Please ask the imperial doctor to see her again. Concubine Yi is not a short-lived lady. She will not die so early. It must be because the previous imperial doctor was not careful."
