Hearing this, Hua Shu and Chu Hengzhi's faces turned ugly at the same time. She suddenly stood up from Chu Hengzhi's legs and looked at Chu Hengzhi coldly.

"Were you seen when you came?"

Chu Hengzhi shook his head: "No."

Then he thought of something and looked at Hua Shu coldly: "You planned this, right?"

Hua Shu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She was thinking quickly about countermeasures in her mind. The emperor would bring people here, which meant he must have heard some news.

The Chuxiu Palace was so small that there was no place to hide, not to mention that the emperor had the Chuxiu Palace surrounded.

Chu Hengzhi thought the same as her, but he still couldn't understand why he could come so quickly when Master Qi and Minister Ren entered the palace at the same time.

For a moment, both of them were thinking of countermeasures quickly in their minds, and Hua Shu had already prepared for the worst.

She glanced at Chu Heng inconspicuously, and a few silver needles emitting cold light appeared in her hand.

Chu Hengzhi looked at her calmly, with a dagger in his hand.

At the same time, outside Chuxiu Palace.

Emperor Wu Ren's face was terribly grim. Chu Yunxiao stood behind him with a smile in his eyes.

He originally wanted to ask his grandfather to go to the palace to plead for his mother, but he didn't expect to meet Minister Ren who was also going to the palace to report something.

After they entered the palace together, they waited for a long time before his father came to the imperial study. Unexpectedly, they had not even uttered a word of plea.

A young eunuch ran into the imperial study in a panic and said that a strange man had sneaked into the Chuxiu Palace. After the man entered the Chuxiu Palace, the palace gate was closed.

When his father heard this, he no longer had the heart to care about them and directly ordered his men to surround the Chuxiu Palace.

And he just came here under the name of protection, it would be best if there really was a man in Chuxiu Palace.

In this way, what happened that night could be said to be that Hua Shu was caught having a secret meeting with someone, so he plotted against his mother.

In this way, his mother could regain her position as a concubine. Thinking of this, the smile in his eyes deepened.

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the tightly closed palace gate with a frighteningly grim expression. He had already become suspicious because of what Concubine Yi and the others said that night that Hua Shu had a secret meeting with someone.

Now he heard that a strange man had entered Chuxiu Palace, how could he bear it any longer?

It’s not that he wanted to believe the rumors, but because the eunuch was the one he arranged to be in Chuxiu Palace today. To put it bluntly, he was his man.

Seeing that the palace gate had not been opened for a long time, Emperor Wu Ren completely lost his patience. He said coldly: "Knock the door open for me."

It would be best if the eunuch was mistaken. If there really was someone inside, he would definitely exterminate all nine generations of the Hua family.

After hearing what he said, the guards stepped forward and took some effort to break open the palace gate.

The moment the palace gate was knocked open, a smell of blood hit the face.

After seeing the scene inside, everyone was dumbfounded. They saw several palace maids and eunuchs lying in a pool of blood, two of them died with their eyes open.

He Zhong and Chu Yunxiao reacted and quickly protected Emperor Wu Ren behind them.

"Father, be careful."

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Before he finished speaking, the blood-stained Ren Dong stretched out her hand and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, someone wants to kill my queen, hurry... hurry and save my queen."

Emperor Wu Ren also recovered from his shock at this time and quickly ordered people to go in and check.

Then he looked at the bloody Honeysuckle and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Blood continued to ooze out of Jindong's mouth: "Your Majesty, not long after you left, a eunuch came with a few people and said it was a reward from you to my queen."

"Who would have thought that as soon as I led them in, they closed the palace gates, drew their swords and killed anyone they saw, and some even rushed into the queen's bedroom."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Emperor Wu Ren and said, "My family

The queen is pregnant with the emperor's heir. Please save my queen, Your Majesty."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body went limp and she fell to the ground, her life or death unknown.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's face turned completely cold. Someone actually dared to commit a crime right under his nose. Did they really think he was dead?

Suddenly remembering that Hua Shu was pregnant, he walked in quickly with a gloomy face.

Chu Yunxiao frowned and followed him in. He always felt that this matter was a little strange.

Even if someone wanted to kill Hua Shu, they wouldn't be stupid enough to send someone to assassinate her so blatantly.

As soon as they entered, they saw Hua Shu collapsed beside the bed, covered in blood. Caiyue and Xiao Shengzi also collapsed beside her, covered in blood. It looked like they had been killed while trying to protect their master.

Emperor Wu Ren originally wanted to go forward himself, but after thinking about it, he let He Zhong go forward to check.

He Zhong walked over to Hua Shu and checked her, then said with joy, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou was stabbed in the chest, but she is still breathing."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren personally stepped forward and carried Hua Shu to the bed, and asked someone to call the imperial physician.

He Zhong responded and quickly retreated.

Chu Yunxiao looked around the room and frowned, "Father, we came here as soon as we received the news. Logically, the assassin shouldn't be able to escape."

Emperor Wu Ren looked at the wound on Hua Shu's chest that was constantly bleeding and said in a deep voice, "Go and investigate for me. I want to know who dared to commit this under my nose."

Chu Yunxiao responded, "Yes, I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Hua Shu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and covered in blood.

If she died because of this, it would be a good thing. If she didn't die, it would be fine if the baby was lost.

But the most important thing now is to catch the assassin as soon as possible, no matter who he is.

As long as the person is caught, maybe his father will be so happy that he will release his mother from house arrest.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunxiao walked out, ordered his men to guard those leaving the palace, and personally led people to search the palace.

But he didn't notice that a eunuch in the corner changed into a guard's clothes and blended into the crowd.

Soon, He Zhong came in with several imperial doctors.

Emperor Wu Ren simply exempted them from the formalities and asked them to treat Hua Shu first.

Imperial Physicians Sun, He, and several other imperial physicians stepped forward to check Hua Shu's pulse.

Empress Liu, Imperial Concubine Fu, and Concubine Li also rushed over when they heard the news.

After they paid their respects to Emperor Wu Ren, Concubine Fu's face turned pale when she looked at Hua Shushi, who was covered in blood.

If Nanny Wang hadn't held her up, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Concubine Fu said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Rou?"

Empress Liu and Concubine Li frowned at the same time when they saw her like this. Why did Concubine Fu treat Hua Shu like her own daughter?

Empress Liu suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but look at Concubine Fu again. Could it be that Hua Shu was her daughter?

After hearing what Concubine Fu said, Emperor Wu Ren glanced at them.

Finally, he stopped at Empress Liu and told her with a gloomy face how Hua Shu was assassinated.

Empress Liu clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves. She didn't understand why he was looking at her.

After hearing this, Concubine Li Shu glanced at Hua Shu on the bed and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Huipin was resentful and sent someone to assassinate Roupin?"
