"Although the whole world is not imperial territory, there is a place that no emperor can touch. As long as you go there, no one can catch or hurt you!"
His words made Xiao Huazi look happy and asked eagerly: "Where is it? Taiwan or... or Japan?" He once heard Xin Bin mention that these two places are overseas and face the Qing Dynasty across the sea. If they can
Crossing the sea to get there, it would be useless no matter how many people Hongli sent to hunt him down.
The man said with a strange smile: "No, it's... Yama Palace!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huazi's face, which had just turned a little bloody, turned extremely pale again. He stared at the man in horror and said tremblingly: "You... you want to... kill me?"
"Of course, otherwise why did I bring you here?" The man said as he approached Xiao Huazi. The latter hurriedly backed away and said in a panic: "Master wants you to take me away from here, you... you can't do this
!”
"No?" The man smiled coldly and said, "Do you really think Empress Xinbin will let you leave alive? In this world, only the dead can keep secrets, so... you must die!"
Xiao Huazi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You said... it was the master who wanted... you to kill me?!"
"Of course!" After saying that, the man added: "Okay, you already know everything you need to know, and you can die in peace!"
Xiao Huazi was angry and resentful. He was considered loyal to Xin Bin. He had confessed to the stable in front of Hongli just now, but Xin Bin was so unkind and unrighteous, for fear that he would reveal the truth and implicate her.
He had someone come to kill him in the name of saving her. If he had known this, he should have confessed the truth just now and dragged her to death!
Just when he was feeling angry, the man had already rushed towards him. Xiao Huazi quickly gathered his thoughts and ran toward the woods. His mind was still clear, and he knew that only by escaping into the woods could he have a chance to escape from the person behind him.
, and have a chance to survive.
Unfortunately, the man saw his intention early on, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at the crook of Xiao Huazi's leg, causing the latter's knees to weaken and he fell to the ground. It was too late to escape and he was
The man grabbed his arm firmly and dragged him to the edge of the cliff.
The cold wind swirled up from the bottom of the cliff and blew over Xiao Huazi's frightened face. "Please, don't kill me! Please!"
"It's too late!" The man said expressionlessly, and then pushed Xiao Huazi down the cliff with force, and the sound of rolling down accompanied by screams echoed in the empty place.
I don't know how long it took, everything calmed down, as if nothing had happened. The man frowned and looked down the dark cliff, his expression hesitant. After a while, he bent down to pick up Xiao Huazi, who had dropped it when he was struggling.
The shoes that fell on the ground were carefully climbed down the cliff by the moonlight.
After climbing like this for almost half an hour, I finally reached the bottom of the cliff. I vaguely saw a figure lying there. When I went over, I saw that it was Xiao Huazi. He was lucky. He fell from such a high place and didn't survive.
He was dead, but he was seriously injured. He fell to the ground and couldn't move. It looked like his internal organs were injured, and blood kept spilling out of his seven orifices.
The appearance of that man made Xiao Huazi's eyes show fear. He opened his mouth to speak, but only made an indistinct sound. More blood poured out of his mouth, dyeing the rocks nearby red.
The man threw the shoes next to Xiao Huazi, then picked up a sharp-edged stone from the side, weighed it a few times, put it on the ground, then lifted up Xiao Huazi and said softly: "I know you are feeling very uncomfortable now, don't worry.
, it will be fine soon...it will be fine soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he held Xiao Huazi's head with both hands and smashed it against the stone. With a loud "bang", Xiao Huazi's eyes gradually became blurry until there was no trace of any sparkle in his eyes.
The stone was already stained with thick red blood.
After confirming that Xiao Huazi was dead, the man climbed back up the cliff and left, as if he had never appeared.
At the same time, Xin Bin was crying in Hongli's arms. Zhou Minghua and other imperial doctors had already come to check her pulse. The fall just now did not cause any serious harm to her, but the child in her belly...
But it can't be saved no matter what.
For Xin Bin, this was a heavy blow. After several years of pregnancy, she placed great hopes on the child in her belly, and regarded him as the basis for her foothold in the palace, but this was not enough.
How could she accept that her child would be gone in a few months, let alone being harmed by her own palace servants? Every time she thought about it, she wanted to strangle Xiao Huazi to death with her own hands.
"Don't be too sad. Your health is important. We will... have children in the future." At this time, Xianyue and others had already withdrawn. Only Hongli was there. Although the child in Xinbin's belly had just taken shape,
But after all, they are also his flesh and blood, and his children. Losing two children in one day is really unbearable.
"I have been waiting for this child for so long. I thought that I could give birth to an heir for the emperor. But..." Xin Bin burst into tears, lowered her head and stroked her no longer protruding abdomen, and said sadly: "Just now
, I can still feel it slowly moving
I have grown up, but now... I have nothing." As she said this, she held Hongli's hand hard, supported her body with lingering pain, and said: "Your Majesty, tell me, this is all a dream.
, the child is still safe and sound in my concubine’s womb, right?!”
Hongli sighed, met her expectant gaze and said, "Believe me, everything will be fine!"
Xin Bin stared at him blankly without speaking. For a long time, she shouted excitedly: "Where is Xiao Huazi? Where is he?"
"I have sent people to chase me, but there is no news yet!" Faced with Hongli's words, Xin Bin said nothing, she just broke away from his hand, stood up from the couch unsteadily, and wanted to go out.
go.
Hongli held her down and said, "What are you going to do? The imperial doctor said that you have just had a miscarriage and need to rest and recuperate. You are not allowed to get out of bed at will."
Xin Bin gritted her teeth and said: "I'm going to find Xiao Huazi, this little slave. If he hadn't made his own decisions, Brother Eleven would not have died, and my children would not be without me. I'm going to kill him with a thousand swords."
I am torn to pieces to comfort the souls of my son and Brother Eleven!"
Hongli said: "Agui and the others will handle this matter, and I have ordered the paddock to be sealed off. Even if he has wings, he will not be able to fly. You just need to stay here."
Under his comfort, Xin Bin stopped, but she did not go back to the couch to rest. Instead, she knelt down in front of Hongli and cried: "If I had discovered what Xiao Huazi had done earlier, I would have
It won’t end up like this, it’s all my concubine’s fault, I beg the emperor to punish me!”
