Zhen Huan held her belly, fearing that something might happen to the baby. She glanced at Huan Bi and deliberately delayed asking, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

"If I tell you, will you still have a chance to survive?" The assassin's voice sounded somewhat feminine, and Zhen Huan roughly guessed that he was a eunuch.

"Do you know that I am pregnant with a dragon? If you accidentally hurt the dragon, your family and clan members will not survive. If you stop here, I can ask the emperor to spare your life."

"I have no parents or relatives anymore, Lady Wan. It is a blessing for a servant like me to have you accompany me on the journey today!" After the assassin said this, he pressed the dagger hard and stabbed it towards Zhen Huan's neck.

Huanbi didn't care about anything else and picked up the vase on the ground and threw it at the assassin. Zhen Huan was quick to use both hands to hold the dagger tightly, trying not to let the blade penetrate too deeply into her neck.

The assassin was hit on the head, his balance was unstable, and his body swayed to the right. Zhen Huan bit hard on the wrist that was holding the dagger. The assassin cried out in pain and clenched his other hand into a fist and hit Zhen Huan's head hard.

At this time, Xiao Yunzi and Jinxi brought people to break into the room, and they subdued the assassin in no time. Huanbi hurried forward to check Zhen Huan's injuries. Xiao Yunzi tore off the cloth covering the assassin's face and found that he was Suxi who was beside Concubine Hua.

"Did Concubine Hua instruct you?" Jin Xi asked loudly from the side.

In the darkness of the night, Liu Zhu covered her mouth and cried as she ran towards the Imperial Hospital. She stumbled forward and the lamp in her hand was blown out by the wind. She did not bother to relight it and moved forward using the light from both sides of the palace road.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and a man's voice rang out, "Who is running around in the palace so late at night?"

Liu Zhu didn't bother to reply and quickened his pace.

The man dressed in black who looked like a guard raised his arm to block his way. After a closer look, he recognized the maid and asked, "Are you from Sui Yu Xuan?"

Liu Zhu nodded and explained hurriedly: "Our nobleman was unwell late at night, I rushed to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician for treatment, I hope the guard brother will let me go."

Liu Zhu knew that if he had an argument with this man at this moment, it would definitely delay important matters, so he had to lower his posture and beg him.

The guard saw two lines of tears on her face in the moonlight. It seemed that she was really anxious, so he said, "You are just a maid, and your steps can't match mine. Do you know which doctor you want to invite? I'll run for you."

Liu Zhu finally remembered the owner of this voice, and seeing that she looked familiar, "It's you! Looking for Imperial Physician Wen Shichu!"

Yan Yu patted her shoulder, turned around and ran to the east, leaving only one sentence, asking her to find a safe place to wait.

Liu Zhu dragged her legs, which had already become weak from fear, to the gate of a palace. She didn't care about anything else, and prayed in her heart: Doctor Wen, please come quickly! The young lady is still waiting for you!

After a while, Yan Yu brought Wen Shichu over. The time was indeed much faster than hers. "Doctor Wen, hurry up, the young lady was stabbed in the neck by the assassin, and then punched on the head by the assassin. She is unconscious now. Sir, go and take a look!"

Wen Shichu didn't expect things to be so serious, so he quickened his pace, pulled the strap of the medicine box on his shoulder and ran forward, leaving Liu Zhu far behind.

Yan Yu looked at Liu Zhu's breathless appearance and advised: "The imperial physician has already gone to Sui Yu Xuan. You can rest assured and walk slowly."

Not knowing how the young lady is doing now, how can Liu Zhu feel at ease? She walked quickly, while saying to Yan Yu: "Thank you very much, sir. I don't know your name or which palace you work for. You have helped me twice. When the noble lady Wan wakes up, I will thank you very much."

Yan Yu smiled and said his name, and said nothing else.

In the Suiyuxuan, the emperor, empress and most of the concubines came.

Zhen Huan was still unconscious, and Doctor Wen was taking her pulse. The Emperor sat in front of the bed with a worried and anxious look on his face. He looked at the eunuch's body lying on the ground, glanced around at the people in the room, and said:

"Huanbi, you are the personal maid of Lady Wan. Tell me, what happened just now?"

Huanbi told the whole story, "Your Majesty, this eunuch hid poison under his tongue, and he refused to reveal the mastermind. Before Xiao Yunzi could be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, he had already committed suicide by drinking poison."

At this time, the queen looked at the person lying on the bed and said with a distressed look: "It's really pitiful for Concubine Wan. She was pregnant with the heir to the throne, but she was killed by such a vicious person. I hope she can escape this disaster."

Sister Mei walked straight to the emperor and knelt on the ground, saying viciously: "Your Majesty, I think that even though Nian is now a concubine, no one dares to order her people around.

This must be because he found an orphan eunuch to assassinate Huan'er. If it succeeds, she will be very proud. If it doesn't go as she wishes, the life of an eunuch is nothing in her eyes. Besides, there will be no evidence when he dies, and no one can do anything to her. "

The emperor closed his eyes and coughed softly, then asked her, "Are you saying that no one in the palace can do anything to Concubine Hua?

I didn't want to kill her at first. I planned to wait until the matter of Nian Gengyao was settled, and then promote her to a higher position after some time, so that she could live safely in the palace and live out her life in peace. But I didn't expect her to be so cruel and murder the concubines and even try to kill the prince in Concubine Wan's belly.

Su Peisheng, go and call Nian over!"

Nian agreed and sat in front of the mirror, dressed neatly. There were only a few candles lit in the room, which looked a little creepy.

Songzhi came over and asked, "My queen, it's already the second watch, please go and have a rest!"

She looked at her fully made-up face in the mirror and smiled, "No hurry, I can sleep peacefully only after I have dealt with Zhen Huan."

"Suxi hasn't come back yet, I wonder..."

Before Songzhi could finish her words, she heard someone forcefully pushing open the door of Yikun Palace. She hurriedly ran out of the bedroom and found that the person was Su Peisheng.

"Eunuch Su, why are you here?"

Su Peisheng sighed and asked, "Is Nian Yingda in there?"

Songzhi felt something was wrong and stepped forward to stop him, "Eunuch Su, our queen... Nian has already gone to bed, so why don't you talk to her tomorrow!"

Su Peisheng refused, and a guard stepped forward and captured Songzhi, and Eunuch Su walked inside.

At this time, Nian Da Ying suddenly opened the door, "Song Zhi, let Eunuch Su in!"

Su Peisheng paid great tribute to Nian's concubine. With his status, he actually didn't need to pay such tribute to a mere concubine. However, Concubine Hua had treated him politely in the past, and the emperor had always doted on her. Even though he was now a concubine, Su Peisheng was still wary.

"Eunuch Su came to Yikun Palace late at night, what's the matter?"

Su Peisheng looked at her steadily and replied, "Nian agreed. The emperor invites you to go to Suiyuxuan."

"Sui Yuxuan? What happened to Zhen Huan?" She looked at him unconfidently, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Su Peisheng said: "You will know when you go there. The emperor has been waiting for a long time!"
