Chapter 254: The collapse of Concubine Xian.
Last night was the most exciting time in Du Ruoxue's life since she was a child. Her fragile little heart was almost frightened to death by the man in black who broke in.
After the palace guards who were investigating the killer left, the man in black was seriously injured and unconscious. No matter how hard Du Ruoxue tried, she couldn't pry open the man's big hands. The helpless Concubine Xian stayed in his arms all night, and the several wounds on his body automatically turned into blood scabs.
Du Ruoxue was forced to smell the nauseating bloody odor, feeling uncomfortable. There was also a faint scent of cold plums mixed in with his scent.
She was thinking randomly...
"If someone pushed the door open and lifted the blankets, they would be clearly an adulterous couple. Who would understand that they were an innocent person being captured?"
The next day...
The virtuous concubine woke up and found herself alone in the room. She lifted the quilt and saw several dark and red bloodstains on the couch. Du Ruoxue was in extremely complicated mood. She subconsciously touched the place on her neck where the dagger had been pressed against her last night. The virtuous concubine felt as if there was still phantom pain there.
After the brocade quilt was completely opened, a blood-stained dragon-shaped jade pendant came into view. Du Ruoxue's eyebrows jumped. She grabbed the white and delicate jade pendant and looked at it carefully. There was a word "Li" engraved on the back of the jade pendant. Du Ruoxue's heart skipped a beat.
"The new emperor Qilian Bai recently appointed a king of a different surname as the King of Li. Could the man in black last night be him?"
Du Ruoxue felt that her brain was almost not enough. Just as Concubine Xian was lost in her thoughts, the palace maid Bai Mei came in from outside to pay her respects to the Concubine.
The virtuous concubine suddenly covered herself with the quilt, raised her eyes and ordered Baimei to bring breakfast.
A few breaths after the palace maid left, Du Ruoxue quickly got up and pulled off the bloodstained mattress and bloodstained quilt. She stuffed all of them under the bed. At that moment, Du Ruoxue's heartbeat began to accelerate again.
Murong Wan'er, disguised as a woman, wandered around the palace out of boredom these days. He visited all the palaces of the new emperor's favorite concubines at night.
Young Master Murong felt that Concubine De was a little too leisurely in the palace. What surprised him was that Su Xiangying was actually having an affair with his own secret guard. Such an immoral act seemed like a trivial matter in Concubine De's eyes.
"Tsk tsk, Concubine De actually cheated on Qi Lian Bai...Haha, it seems that before this young master finds that thing, the days in this palace will not be too lonely."
Wu Yue, the palace maid who was punished to kneel in the Concubine Dowager's Palace, lowered her head and gritted her teeth secretly, her beautiful, fiery eyes filled with anger.
"Why should I be the only one to be punished? It was obviously that little bitch Lu Fu who did something wrong, and she is just a poor little thing who has to take the blame."
Unfortunately, the eunuch in charge only saw himself in the room where the concubine's beloved glass cup was broken, and he did not see Lu Fu hiding under the table.
Wu Yue was wearing a green dress and had her hair done in a bun like a palace maid. Her fair face was flushed with anger as she glanced at the slender figure of Lu Fu who was guarding in front of the Dowager Concubine's Palace.
"Crumble..."
Wu Yue's teeth were chattering. She and Lu Fu entered the palace together. She was the one who rescued Lu Fu when she was bullied. Now this bitch was ungrateful and framing her.
Wu Yue didn't know that Lu Fu had always been jealous of her.
Qi Lian Bai arrived at the Dowager Concubine's Palace. He glanced at the kneeling Wu Yue and walked over.
Qilian Bai has the air of an emperor, and his figure is tall and slender... No one knows that Qilian Bai's mother is the fourth princess who fled from a neighboring country.
His biological father’s surname is not Qilian.
This secret has now become a secret with the passing of his mother.
The Concubine Dowager didn't like Qilian Bai very much. Choosing him to be the new emperor was a decision made by the elders. She always felt that Qilian Bai was not a puppet that she could control.
The mother and son's apparent loving relationship lasted for three months.
