Xu Xiyue laughed contemptuously and said, "How can a dying man still fight with me?"
"You...bitch, I will kill you..." Concubine Shen raised her hand with red eyes and grabbed Xu Xiyue's face.
Xu Xiyue dodged quickly, and Concubine Shen missed her grab. She fell to the ground, spitting blood, and could not get up again.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to speak but couldn't. The feeling of death enveloped her whole body.
When she was dying, she saw Xu Xiyue's mocking smile, and in a trance she also heard Xu Xiyue say that she deserved her current fate.
She was unwilling to accept this. She loved the emperor so much, why was he so ruthless...
It was not until Concubine Shen died that Lin Yuejiao said goodbye to Xu Xiyue and returned to the modern era. Xu Xiyue left Shaohua Palace in a good mood, and then the palace servants carried Concubine Shen's body away.
On the corridor, Cui Liu watched Xu Xiyue leave Shaohua Palace and hurried to report to Concubine Li.
In the room, Concubine Li sat by the bed, looking at her child's clothes with great sadness. They were made by her own hands, but unfortunately her child died in the womb before he had the chance to wear them.
Thinking of her unborn child, her expression became painful, and she hugged the child's clothes tightly and cried.
"My child, will you blame me for not protecting you... If I hadn't teamed up with Concubine Shen to harm Concubine Chun, you wouldn't have died. It's all my fault..."
Concubine Li regretted her decision. Ever since she lost her child, she had been depressed all day long. She had long lost interest in the intrigues in the harem. There was only endless regret and longing for her child in her heart.
When Cui Liu came in, she saw the Queen crying silently. She knew that the Queen was missing her unborn little prince again, so she immediately lightened her footsteps and dared not breathe, for fear of upsetting the Queen.
"Is Concubine Shen dead?" Lipin asked suddenly while crying, with deep hatred in her words.
Cui Liu hurriedly replied, "I saw Eunuch Zhang personally feed Concubine Shen the poison, and soon after Concubine Shen died. Her body has been carried away by the palace servants."
"She's dead, hahaha... She's finally dead, did you hear that, kid... That vicious woman is dead..."
Huipin was crying and laughing. She had long wanted to kill Concubine Shen to avenge her child. Now that Concubine Shen was dead, she finally got what she wanted, but she couldn't be happy.
Seeing that the queen was not in good condition, Cui Liu did not intend to tell her that Concubine Chun had come.
When Concubine Shen died, everyone in the palace was happy. No one sympathized with her because she was arrogant and domineering and had offended many people.
The Queen Mother also regained consciousness at this time. She learned that the entire Shen family was exiled and her niece was tragically killed in Shaohua Palace. She could not bear the blow and vomited blood and fainted.
When she woke up again, her gorgeous clothes were gone. She was only wearing a plain dress. She was taken away by the imperial guards and sent back to the imperial temple.
In order to leave a reputation of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety in the eyes of the world, the emperor did not kill the empress dowager, but sent her back to the imperial temple for life imprisonment, allowing her to atone for her sins forever by the company of the green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
In the past, concubines in the harem fought for favor with their husbands to the death, but after the death of Concubine Shen, the harem became much calmer.
Two months passed in a flash, and today was exactly the day when little Yin'er turned 100 days old. The emperor was very pleased and specially set up a family banquet in Qinghe Hall to celebrate for little Yin'er.
At night, there was singing and dancing in the palace.
The emperor held little Yin'er in his arms and said words of blessing, and everyone followed suit to bless little Yin'er. Lin Yuejiao was also present and sat next to Xu Xiyue.
Knowing that the fairy was coming, Xu Xiyue deliberately made room for her to sit.
As she watched the snacks and delicacies on the table gradually decrease, her face was filled with smiles. It turned out that fairies also liked to eat mortal food.
Fairies are mortals, of course they like delicious food!
Lin Yuejiao just kept eating. She had been craving the delicacies in the palace for a long time. Now that she had a rare chance to eat them, she naturally ate to her heart's content since no one could see her anyway.
It was true that no one could see her, but Concubine Shu, who was sitting next to Xu Xiyue, carefully noticed that the amount of food on Xu Xiyue's table was decreasing little by little.
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, thinking she was dazzled. She blinked a few times, but the food was still decreasing. She was so scared that she almost thought she saw a ghost, and hurriedly pulled Xu Xiyue's sleeve.
"Sister, the food on your table..."
"Shh!"
Xu Xiyue hurriedly stopped Concubine Shu and looked around.
Fortunately, the emperor and the empress's attention was on Yin'er, and the others kept praising Yin'er in order to please the emperor, so no one paid attention to them.
She lowered her voice and told Concubine Shu that it was the fairy who was eating. When Concubine Shu heard it, she almost screamed out loud.
"The fairy is coming?" Concubine Shu widened her eyes and looked at the empty seat next to Xu Xiyue and suddenly realized something.
Sister Xu had told her before that there were gods who would help them get rid of Concubine Shen, but she didn't believe that there were gods in the world at that time.
It was not until the Empress Dowager assassinated the Emperor and Concubine Shen was sentenced to death that Sister Xu told her that it was all done by fairies. Only then did she reluctantly believe that there were fairies around Sister Xu.
Now that she saw the gods eating with her own eyes, she was truly shocked. She had no idea what the gods looked like.
Xu Xiyue hummed and told Concubine Shu not to say anything. Concubine Shu nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Lin Yuejiao smiled unconsciously when she saw Concubine Shu's surprised, happy, and somewhat silly look.
After eating and drinking, she was about to go home, so she said to Xu Xiyue, "Xiyue, I'm done eating. The gift for Yin'er is in your room. When the banquet is over, go back and take a look!"
Xu Xiyue nodded secretly, not daring to respond.
Lin Yuejiao stood up and prepared to go back when there was a sudden commotion outside, and there seemed to be the sound of weapons fighting.
The sound became louder and louder. Everyone heard it and their faces changed.
The emperor immediately handed little Yin'er to the queen, stood up and shouted, "What happened outside?"
Just as Eunuch Zhang was about to order someone to go out and check, a guard ran into the hall in a panic, "Your Majesty, there is a thorn..."
Before he could finish his words, with a whoosh, a feather arrow flew into the hall in the darkness and hit the body of the imperial guard.
The imperial guards fell to the ground and died instantly. Everyone screamed in fear. At that time, another feather arrow flew into the hall and shot at the emperor.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
"Escort me, protect me quickly!"
Empress Sun and Eunuch Zhang exclaimed at the same time. Little Yin'er was frightened and burst into tears in Empress Sun's arms.
Xu Xiyue's heart ached and she hurriedly ran towards the Queen, and Concubine Shu followed her.
The emperor dodged the arrow, which stuck in the chair behind him. His face darkened and he looked up. Several men in black broke into the hall and killed anyone they saw.
Everyone fled in panic, and the hall was in chaos.
The sounds of fighting and screams were endless.
Lin Yuejiao stood in the chaotic crowd. The system had activated protection mode for her and no one could touch her.
She stared at the men in black and asked, "System, who are these people? Why did they assassinate the emperor?"
【The host is a northern barbarian. 】
Tongzi seemed to sigh after he finished speaking. Lin Yuejiao had no time to think about it and asked in confusion: "The palace is heavily guarded and guarded by imperial guards. How did the northern barbarians get in?"
[With someone leading the way, they can certainly avoid the imperial guards and enter the palace. Host, have you forgotten who? ]
Lin Yue was stunned. "You are talking about..."
[Yes, it's Chu Qingyue, he's back! ]
