Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

"There's an assassin! Protect the Emperor!"

Following the shout, two men in black immediately appeared in the hall, standing in front of the emperor and the concubine in a protective posture.

Zhang Desheng reacted immediately, jumped quickly in front of the emperor, opened his arms, and stood guard beside the emperor vigilantly.

Chu Mengyao also ran to Concubine Shu in fear. Seeing that she looked unhappy, Concubine Shu patted her hands as if to comfort her.

Soon, the sound of sword fighting was heard outside.

The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door screamed instantly, and the sound of them running away filled the entire palace, chaos and panic were intertwined.

King Xuan hurried to the white dove, his heart tightened, and he knelt down beside her in a hurry to check her injuries.

Bai Ge was lying on the ground, her face as pale as paper, her expression showing pain, her breathing weakly, and her eyes gradually losing focus.

"Hold on!" King Xuan's voice was filled with anxiety. "Quick, call the imperial physician!"

At this moment, Bai Ge reluctantly raised his hand, pointed to the southeast, and trembled as he uttered a word with difficulty: "Hui..."

Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

However, the word still reached King Xuan's ears clearly, like a flame, instantly igniting the last glimmer of hope.

Before she could finish her words, her breath stopped and her hands fell limply, never to move again.

King Xuan put down the white dove, walked back to the emperor, met the emperor's gaze, and said with a bad look, "The maid is dead."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face turned pale instantly, and the teacup in his hand shattered, with fragments flying everywhere.

At the same time, the black-clad assassin outside was surrounded by the emperor's secret guards and was in desperate situation.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, he simply bit the poison sac in his mouth and committed suicide.

Seeing that the man was dead, the three secret guards who surrounded him had no choice but to put away their swords and go back to report.

They quickly entered the palace, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, the assassin has committed suicide."

The emperor's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Send the commander of the Imperial Guards, Xue Yang, to the Imperial Study."

"Yes,"

Zhang Desheng responded and quickly went out to make arrangements.

Then the emperor stood up and said to King Xuan, "You go too."

King Xuan nodded and said, "Yes."

At the same time, in Huifei's Yuehua Palace.

The King of Qi was walking around with a frown on his face and a gloomy expression, glancing towards the door from time to time, obviously waiting for something.

His tall figure seemed somewhat oppressive in the magnificent palace, and his anger was hard to contain.

"Mother, how could you use the white dove so impulsively!"

His voice was anxious.

Concubine Hui, however, looked disapproving, she snorted lightly, "Am I not venting my anger for your daughter?

Do you know how long it would take to copy the Filial Piety Sutra a hundred times? How could such a young child possibly copy it all?"

"She asked for it. She's already eight years old, and she's bullying a three-year-old girl. I think you guys have spoiled her."

The King of Qi's voice was very irritable, and he retorted loudly.

Then, he lowered his voice slightly, with a sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction, “Now it’s good, Bai Ge has been exposed for nothing!

We had finally buried the nail.

In order to get rid of her, we have to sacrifice a top secret guard."

Concubine Hui seemed to be unconcerned about the King of Qi's anger. She just asked in confusion: "Even if we are discovered, the worst that can happen is that the Emperor will scold us or punish us. That will be the end of it.

But why did you send secret guards to assassinate him? Your father is still in Yalan Palace. Aren't you provoking him? I'm afraid this matter will not end well."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she stared straight at the King of Qi, as if she was determined to know the answer.

She didn't believe that her son would send people to provoke the emperor just for an ordinary nail.

The King of Qi was annoyed, but faced with the persistent look of his mother.

He slowly closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and then answered with difficulty: "The maid knows some secrets, if she is caught, she will betray us.

That would be the end of you. At the very least you’d be expelled from the palace, at the worst you’d be sentenced to death.”

Concubine Hui was shocked when she heard this. She immediately stood up and asked loudly, "What on earth did you do?"

"Mother, please don't ask any more questions." The King of Qi turned around impatiently and began to pace back and forth anxiously.

This made Concubine Hui even more anxious. "What on earth did you do? How could it be so serious?"

Then, she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly lowered her voice and carefully reminded: "Your father is still in good health, so don't do anything rash."

"Oh, mother, please stop making wild guesses and let me be quiet for a while."

At this time, a eunuch walked in from outside.

When the King of Qi saw him, he walked over quickly and asked, "What's going on?"

He bent down and reported softly: "My Lord, the matter has been settled."

"Are you sure the white dove is dead?" King Qi asked anxiously.

The eunuch said with certainty: "It is certain that the hidden weapon hit her heart, and the body has been carried out."

"That's good."

The King of Qi nodded as if relieved and expressed his satisfaction.

Concubine Hui listened to their conversation and thought, "No matter what it is, as long as the person is dead, it's fine."
