How could Bi Tao's sudden strangeness be hidden from Xie Mingxi?
Xie Mingxi's eyes passed over Bi Tao's slightly trembling hand, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a sarcastic arc: "Why don't you dare to open the letter? Could it be that the seal of this letter has been coated with poison?"
Bi Tao's face turned pale and her knees softened.
She was kneeling on the ground, but now her whole body was shaking like chaff, like a puddle of mud. The letter she held in her hand never let go.
She has been serving Li Xiangru since she was ten years old, and has been serving Li Xiangru for twelve years now. The relationship between master and servant is deep.
When the King of Ningxia died, Li Xiangru had no idea of living. Before his death, Li Xiangru did write two letters, one to Li Mo and the other to Xie Mingxi.
She was indignant for the death of her young master, and even blamed the cruel and ruthless Xie Mingxi for Li Xiangru's death. If Xie Mingxi had not revealed the true thoughts of the Ningxia King in front of Li Xiangru, Li Xiangru would not have died in despair and committed suicide.
Once her master dies, she will not live alone.
She wanted to avenge her master before she died.
She smeared poison on the seal of the envelope. No matter how careful Xie Mingxi was, she would definitely be in a state of confusion after seeing Li Xiangru's body. She would not be wary. As long as Xie Mingxi opened the letter, she would be violently violent if it touched her skin.
Poison...she can avenge her master.
I never expected that Xie Mingxi would see through her at a glance...
Xie Mingxi didn't have much anger on her face, but showed a hint of approval: "Bitao, you dare to do such a thing for your master and put your life and death at risk, which can be regarded as loyalty. I always appreciate loyal servants very much.
You can choose a neat way to die!"
Xie Mingxi had fought with Li Xiangru for several years in her previous life, so she was naturally very familiar with Bitao who was around Li Xiangru.
Bitao was very loyal to Li Xiangru. In the previous life, after Li Xiangru died, Bitao committed suicide. In this life, Li Xiangru committed suicide, and Bitao also had the will to die. That's why she came up with this idea on this night, which is not very clever.
An assassination plan.
When Bi Tao heard the word death, she no longer trembled.
Bi Tao reluctantly knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness!"
Then, she crawled to the bed, pulled out the dagger from Li Xiangru's chest, and stabbed it into her own chest. Severe pain hit her, blood spattered, but there was no resentment or unwillingness on Bi Tao's face, and she closed her eyes calmly.
A young and vivid life was lost.
…
Xiang Hui, who had been by Xie Mingxi's side, finally asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted and kind-hearted that she allows Bitao to commit suicide."
In the palace, there are many ways to make people live but not die. It is really cheap for Bitao to die so easily.
Xie Mingxi heard the vague complaint in Xianghui's tone, and casually twitched her lips: "That's all, she is also loyal to her master. People who are bound to die, why bother about these things."
Xianghui asked in a low voice: "Empress, how should I dispose of the body of Princess Ningxia?"
The King of Ningxia was sentenced to death in the daytime, and the Princess of Ningxia took her own life with a dagger that night. As soon as this incident was reported out of the palace, the Li family would definitely be filled with resentment.
Empress Dowager Yu has not sent anyone over until now, apparently planning to leave this difficult matter to Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Send the bodies of Princess Ningxia's master and servant to the Li Mansion for burial. Remember to also send the sealed and poisoned letter beside Bitao to the Li family."
Xianghui's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "This is really a wonderful way to deal with it."
Returning Li Xiangru's body to the Li family for burial was a show of gratitude to the Li family. Bitao's act of taking initiative before his death can also be regarded as Li Xiangru's comatose act before his death.
In this case, how can the Li family have the face to resent the "magnanimous" Xie Mingxi?
Xianghui was completely convinced by Xie Mingxi's clever methods. She responded and immediately called several palace ladies in.
Xie Mingxi didn't want to face the blood in the room anymore, so she turned around and left the dormitory.
"Mingxi," Sheng Hongyin, who had been waiting outside the dormitory, stepped forward, with worry and pity in his eyes: "Are you okay?"
Xie Mingxi didn't look in the mirror and knew that she didn't look good.
Who in this world can be truly hard-hearted?
She and Li Xiangru had no grievances in the past, but they had been classmates for several years. Tonight, she saw off Li Xiangru in person, and her mood was indeed a bit obscure.
"I'm fine." Xie Mingxi didn't want to say more: "It's late at night, let's go back to Fulin Palace."
Sheng Hong nodded, held Xie Mingxi's hand and walked out.
As soon as I left the palace, I heard a boy crying: "Mother concubine! I want mother concubine!"
This cry belongs to Brother Ting.
Brother Ting has been crying today. At night, after sleeping for less than an hour, he was awakened by the movement in the palace. He was still young and did not understand what suicide was. He was detained in the dormitory by the maid who served him, and he soon started to make a fuss.
Yin Xiaoxiao was very strong and forcefully carried Brother Ting out.
As soon as Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong walked outside the palace, they met Yin Xiaoxiao who was carrying brother Ting out of the palace.
Looking at each other, they were speechless.
Only Brother Ting's cry echoed endlessly.
Yin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, hugged Brother Ting tightly, and walked in front of the empress.
At this moment, Sheng Hong felt quite uncomfortable. He suddenly had the urge to chase after Yin Xiaoxiao and tell Yin Xiaoxiao the truth... Xie Mingxi seemed to have seen through the sadness in his heart, and shook his hand hard: "We should go back."
They have a clear conscience and just know it.
At this time, we must not reveal any flaws to anyone. We must also keep Yin Xiaoxiao and Zhao Changqing in the dark.
Sheng Hong came to his senses, sighed silently, and returned to Fulin Palace with Xie Mingxi.
…
This night was also a stormy night for the Li family.
Li Xiangru committed suicide in the middle of the night, and the news had not yet spread outside the palace. Everyone in the Li family was sleeping. It was not until the fourth watch that the bodies of Li Xiangru and Bitao's servants were delivered to the Li family.
In just a short moment, more than a hundred servants of the huge Li Mansion were all awakened.
Li Ge was old and experienced, and would not panic no matter what happened. Li Xiangru's suicide was sad, but it was not a fatal blow.
The moment Mrs. Li saw her daughter's body, she screamed miserably, vomited a mouthful of blood in public, and fainted.
As the daughter-in-law, Fang Ruomeng has the unshirkable responsibility to take care of her mother-in-law, who is too sad and unconscious.
Looking at Li Xiangru, whose face was blue and lifeless, Li Mo felt heartbroken and his eyes were red.
Li Xiangru's infatuation is both pitiful and hateful.
She only had her husband-in-law in her heart and didn't care about her mother-in-law and brother at all. When the King of Ningxia died, she lost the courage to hold on and died just like that.
