Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 263 The Queen Mother is Assassinated

"Mute drug? Are you saying that Concubine Rou went to all the trouble to come to the cold palace just to give Concubine Li a mute drug?"

Wanpin was a little unsure, "Why would she give Li Shuren a mute drug for no reason? Could it be that she was afraid that Li Shuren would say something she shouldn't say?"

A light bulb suddenly lit up Shu Fei's head, and she remembered what Li Shu Ren had said after she ran away from the cold palace, asking to see the empress dowager and the mermaid pattern and valuable brocade from Jiangnan.

It's a pity that at that time she was only concerned with bringing Li Shuren back to the cold palace, and didn't even ask about the reason in detail.

And now, the Queen Mother is here again, and if there is really something going on, Shu Fei cannot speak.

Little did she know that the Queen Mother was actually quite glad that she came to this cold palace.

If not, with Shu Fei and Wan Fei's brains and means, they would be able to figure out something from these clues.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly, interrupting Concubine Shu's thoughts, "Since Concubine Rou wanted to drug Concubine Li, why did she die?"

"It's his own fault. He deserves to die." The woman's voice was like a cold poisonous snake lurking in the dark and damp corner.

"I saw Concubine Rou took some food and drinks, saying that she wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Concubine Li.

Then, each of them put something in the other's drink where the other couldn't see.

In the end, one died and the other became mute. Hahahaha, this is really a love between sisters… This is really a love between sisters hahahaha…"

As the woman spoke, she walked towards the dark corridor as if she was possessed. It seemed that she had finished talking and was going back to the house.

Seeing that their masters did not say anything, the guards did not try to stop them.

Shu Fei and Wan Bin had no time to care about the woman. They just looked at each other silently, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

The Queen Mother didn't care at all about the woman's crazy behavior. She looked calm and was relieved in her heart.

Both Concubine Rou and Concubine Li suffered losses, which was a better outcome for her than one dying and the other living.

Although the beautiful commoner was mute, she was still not as safe as a dead person.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't bear it and said, "Rou Guiren broke into the cold palace and died. Although she deserved it, it was still pitiful.

However, Li Shuren murdered the concubine, which is also unforgivable. Fujia, take Li Shuren away and strangle her on the spot. "

The Empress Dowager had spoken, and Shu Fei and Wanpin could not disobey, so they all remained silent.

Fujia and two young eunuchs took Li Shuren into the side room.

Cheng Han also flicked his whisk and asked the guards to drive the other women in the cold palace back to their rooms.

Having solved a major problem, the empress dowager was in a good mood and turned around to leave.

However, just as she reached the door of the cold palace and one foot stepped onto the cold white moonlight slanting in from outside the palace, she was suddenly dazzled by the bright light reflected from a sharp blade.

In the corridor filled with dark shadows, a man suddenly rushed out from the side, holding a dagger high in the air, and stabbed straight at the Queen Mother with a sharp cold wind.

The Queen Mother couldn't see clearly for a moment, so she instinctively twisted her body, and the dagger slashed through her arm.

Before he could feel the stinging pain in his arm, another knife came slashing towards him.

Most of the palace servants were guarding outside the cold palace. Fujia took Li Shuren to the side room, and Cheng Han was directing the guards to disperse the people in the cold palace.

For a while, there were only Shu Fei and Wan Fei by the Empress Dowager's side.

However, Shufei and Wanpin were both weak women and had never experienced such a dangerous and sudden scene.

In addition, they were both wearing high heels and could barely hold on to their personal maids. It was already difficult for them not to be frightened and fall, and they had no time to react at all.

The entrance to the cold palace was already narrow, and the empress dowager was too old to dodge, so she could only watch helplessly as the almost crazy figure stabbed at her fiercely.

The Queen Mother was not the kind of person who would easily accept her fate. She thought quickly and fell to the ground, rolling and crawling without caring about her image. She finally dodged the knife again.

But the figure refused to give up and stabbed the empress dowager who was already lying on the ground for the third time.

The Queen Mother had nowhere to escape, so she could now see the figure clearly. It was the old woman from before.

The woman's face showed a kind of magical madness, and her originally pale cheeks were actually flushed, perhaps because of her excitement.

In a trance, I could even catch a glimpse of the beauty of my youth and the shadows of old friends.

"You are...Jipin?"

The Queen Mother's words did not stop the woman from going crazy. She could only watch the dagger getting closer and closer to her chest, followed by the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh.

Before the Queen Mother could feel the pain, she saw a guard knock Concubine Ji unconscious with the handle of a knife from behind.

"The cold palace guards are here to save you late, please forgive me, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother wanted to try to stand up, but the severe pain in her chest instantly engulfed her like a tide.

There was a distant, vague and noisy voice coming from her ears. The Queen Mother could no longer make out what the people around her were saying. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and then fainted.

When the emperor finally rushed back to the palace after killing several horses overnight, the empress dowager was still unconscious.

Ruyi was guarding the Cining Palace. Her eyes were pale and she looked extremely tired. She was dozing off with one hand on her forehead.

Rong Pei wanted to pay her respects to the emperor, but the emperor raised his hand to stop her silently.

Although the emperor was worried about the empress dowager, he was obviously more worried about Ruyi at this time.

The cloak slowly fell on Ruyi's body. She opened her eyes sleepily and dazedly, and saw the emperor at first sight.

"Your Majesty, you are back..."

Ruyi wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by the emperor.

"Well, I heard that the Empress Dowager had been assassinated, so I rushed back. You are almost full term, why are you still here?

Look at you, you are almost exhausted. I will ask someone to take you back."

Ruyi shook her head gently, "Your Majesty is not in the palace, and I will fulfill my duties as a daughter-in-law.

This time, the Empress Dowager was assassinated because I failed to protect her. I was wrong and feel extremely guilty.

Now that the Empress Dowager has not woken up yet, I am extremely anxious and worried. How can I sleep well?

The other concubines have gone to Anhua Hall to chant sutras and pray for the Empress Dowager. I am too heavy to kneel for long, so I can only wait here."

The emperor had no intention of blaming Ruyi, he just held her hand tightly and said softly, "I have heard about what happened today from Shu Fei and Wan Fei.

It was the Empress Dowager who insisted on going to the cold palace, and the person who stabbed her was also the concubine of the previous dynasty.

How could you predict such a thing in advance? How could you prevent it?

Ruyi, just rest and take care of your baby. Don't worry too much. I will take care of everything. Be obedient and go back to rest first."

Ruyi obediently stood up and left. As soon as she arrived at Yikun Palace, she asked Rong Pei to wipe the blue spots under her eyes.

Then he lay down in the soft bedding and soon fell into a deep sleep.

She had to get enough rest quickly so that she could continue to watch the show peacefully.
