Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

"Please spare my life, Your Majesty! All of this was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Concubine Shu!" The nanny kept knocking her head, and her forehead was bleeding, but she still did not stop.

However, at this time Emperor Suwen remained silent. He just sat quietly on the dragon throne, staring at the nanny in front of him with cold eyes.

Just when everyone thought the situation would remain at a stalemate, the nanny suddenly seemed to go crazy, broke free from the restraints on her body, and rushed towards the pillar next to her without hesitation.

There was a loud bang, and Mammy's head hit the pillar hard, blood splattered everywhere. Then, her body slowly fell down, and soon she was dead.

Seeing her dowry nanny crashed to death in front of her, Concubine Shu felt heartbroken and heartbroken.

She didn't care about anything else, she hurriedly got up from the ground, rushed to the dead nanny, hugged her body tightly, and burst into tears. The cry was so miserable that it moved people.

When the young eunuch standing nearby saw this scene, the last bit of defense in his heart completely collapsed. His legs softened, he fell to his knees with a plop, and began to tell the truth of the matter in detail.

"Your Majesty, it was this maid who gave me fifty taels of silver and asked me to go to Concubine Qing to get the remaining spices and the necklace that Concubine Qing usually wears." The little eunuch said tremblingly.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu's eyes widened with horror. She asked loudly and panickedly: "What spices? What necklace? You dog slave, don't make up stories and frame me at will!"

Upon seeing this, Emperor Suwen's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Come, pull the imperial concubine away and let her listen carefully to what this dog slave said!" As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came forward and forcibly dragged Imperial Concubine Shu aside.

"The spices and necklace were both gifts from the Imperial Concubine to the Imperial Concubine Qing. They contain a secret substance that is enough to cause abortion. Moreover, the poison is so strange that it is difficult for ordinary doctors to detect it!"

The emperor was furious when he heard this and shouted, "What do you know? Tell the truth now! If you keep hesitating, I will kill you immediately!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over and kowtowed quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine was jealous of the fact that the Imperial Concubine Qing was favored, and she was even more afraid that the Imperial Concubine Qing would give birth to a prince, thus threatening her own position, so she killed her.

"I am a little bit skilled in martial arts, so I was sent by the nanny to the Zhaohe Palace to take away the unused spices, but I was unable to get the necklace." After saying this, the young eunuch was already in tears and was terrified.

At this moment, Nan Ruoqing had already woken up. When she heard those words coming from outside the room, tears burst out like a torrent.

Her heart was filled with endless resentment, and her teeth were chattering. If she had not been so stupid at the beginning, how could she have lost the baby in her belly!

Once upon a time, she naively believed that Concubine Shu had a deep friendship with her, and gave her many precious gifts and rare and expensive spices just to win her over.

After all, in this deep palace, everyone has their own faction, and it is really difficult to gain a foothold alone.

At that time, she was filled with joy, thinking that as long as she had the favor of Emperor Suwen, she would be able to give birth to a child smoothly.

Recalling the past, she would wear the necklace every day, not only because Emperor Suwen had praised it for its beauty, but more importantly, Concubine Shu told her in person that the necklace was a sacred object enshrined and blessed by the royal temple, and that it could protect her and her child from harm.

Nan Ruoqing finally understood that it was her own naivety and stupidity that made her trust others so easily, leading to the current situation.

Nan Ruoqing ignored her wounds and slowly climbed down. Blood was oozing out of the broken wounds as she crawled towards the door bit by bit.

Everyone was immersed in grief, and no one noticed Nan Ruoqing's desperate behavior.

When Nan Ruoqing struggled to crawl out of the room, her body was soaked with sweat, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. She had to make great efforts to move every inch, and the ground beneath her was already stained red with blood, which was shocking.

She raised her head and looked straight at Emperor Suwen, shouting with her last bit of strength: "Your Majesty, please avenge our child! You, Your Majesty, please help me!" Her voice was trembling, filled with endless grief and despair.

When Emperor Suwen saw Nan Ruoqing like this, his heart was broken and his eyes instantly turned red. He quickly stepped down from the dragon throne and hugged Nan Ruoqing tightly in his arms without hesitation. At this moment, Nan Ruoqing's breath was as weak as a candle in the wind, and it could go out at any time.

Emperor Suwen stared at the woman in front of him who made him feel so distressed, and tears rolled down uncontrollably, drop by drop, wetting Nan Ruoqing's clothes. He never thought that the woman who was once lively and cheerful with a bright smile would become the dying woman now.

Nan Ruoqing raised her head slightly and leaned on Emperor Su Wen's broad chest, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible:

"My Lady Shu Guifei... I have always thought that I have no grudges against you, but why... why did you plot against me like this? The imperial physician said that it should have been a fully grown baby boy... I came to this capital city alone, and all I wanted was to have a child to accompany me... I... I..."

At this point, Nan Ruoqing's consciousness gradually became blurred and she could hardly continue speaking.

She slowly stretched out her hand, trying to touch Emperor Su Wen's face, wanting to feel the last bit of warmth. Emperor Su Wen quickly grabbed Nan Ruoqing's hand, gently placed it on his cheek, and said with a sob:

"Yun Yuxi, I order you to do everything you can to save Concubine Qing! I will never allow her to leave this world like this!" His tone was firm and resolute, with unquestionable majesty.

Yun Yuxi was frightened by the sudden change, so she walked forward to take Nan Ruoqing's pulse, then shook her head at Emperor Su Wen.

Nan Ruoqing in Emperor Suwen's arms suddenly opened her eyes as if she had a last burst of light, and said with difficulty, "I am afraid I will not survive. Your Majesty, please do not blame the Regent Princess. If it weren't for her, our child would have died inexplicably. Your Majesty, please do not let the murderer go. Please promise me that you will not go to war with my Southern Frontier. This is my jade pendant. Please return it to me, Your Majesty..."

Nan Ruoqing eventually died in Emperor Su Wen's arms. The blood all over her body and the bloodstains on the ground deeply hurt Yun Yuxi's eyes.

Yun Yuxi watched the once arrogant Nan Ruoqing die in a foreign country, in this cold harem.

Yun Yuxi was very sad. She vowed to avenge Nan Ruoqing. She admired the woman who resolutely married far away for the stability of the country.
