The time was ripe, and Qi Binwei took action that night. Qi Puyan, who was far away in Qinghe City, should also receive the news and return to Kyoto.
He couldn't delay things at this critical juncture. Chaoyan had already returned to the mansion and was being looked after. Even if someone wanted to use Chaoyan to do something, it would be extremely difficult.
Qi Binwei called a little palace maid late at night and said to her, "You throw this outside the emperor's bedroom, then go to the palace of Concubine Shu and pretend to be in a panic and drop the letter. You know what to do in the end."
The little palace maid nodded and respectfully took the jade pendant and letter from Qi Binwei. "I know that I am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Highness. I wish that Your Highness' wishes will come true."
Her eyes were full of determination. She would never come back again and she must die after completing her mission.
We cannot bring trouble to Qi Binwei. After all, only the dead can guard secrets.
The little palace maid did as Qi Binwei said. She first secretly dropped the jade pendant outside Emperor Jing'an's bedroom, and then went to Concubine Shu's palace. Her eyes were full of panic, which attracted the attention of the guards.
She looked around, as if she had just realized that she had come to the wrong place. She tightly grasped the letter in her hand and tried to walk past the place quickly, but was accidentally caught by the guards.
"Stop! What are you doing?" the guard shouted angrily.
The voice was like a loud bell, and the little palace maid was immediately frightened and trembled like a sieve. Her voice was trembling, "I...I accidentally took the wrong road. I didn't mean to disturb the imperial concubine's rest. I will leave now...I will leave now."
After saying that, she wanted to leave, but what she didn't know was that she didn't hide the letter well, and a corner of the letter was exposed to the guards' sight.
He was immediately detained by the guards, "Did you get away? What is this? Give it to me!"
The guard wanted to snatch the letter from her hand, but she valued the letter so much that she held it tightly and refused to give it to him.
There was a look of great fear in her eyes, as if if she lost the letter, her life would be lost as well.
But the guards were stronger than her after all. The little palace maid struggled for only half a moment before they immediately snatched the letter away.
"Please give it back to me. You can't look at it! You absolutely can't look at it. I don't want to die. I don't want to die..."
The guard snorted coldly, took the letter and opened it. The content shocked him greatly. It was about the poisoning of Emperor Jing'an, which was simply horrifying.
They immediately took the little palace maid to Emperor Jing'an's bedroom and reported the matter to him.
Unexpectedly, she was very afraid of death, and when they were not paying attention, she broke free without knowing how. They watched the little palace maid rush straight into the palace.
The guards were shocked. If they disturbed Concubine Shu, their lives would be in danger, so they absolutely could not let her in.
"Quick! Catch her! If necessary--" The leading guard did not finish the next words.
His men all understood the situation, so they killed the little palace maid as an assassin. No one would suspect anything. If they had offended the person inside, they would not mind dying, but they were afraid that their families would be in trouble.
They rushed forward and immediately surrounded the little palace maid. The leading guard laughed sarcastically, drew out a big knife and put it on her neck, saying fiercely: "You are a scheming person. You want all of us to be implicated. If you offend the imperial concubine, we will all die! Tie her up."
Judging from the little palace maid's behavior just now, she did not want to die. The leading guard's words were meant to remind her that if she wanted to live, she should shut up and follow them and stop struggling.
The little palace maid sneered in her heart. She was going to die anyway, and she made such a fuss just to lure out Concubine Shu.
"Don't kill me, please--" the little maid screamed before they came forward and tied her up.
Just when they were at a loss, their necks hit the knife of the leading guard, and blood immediately gushed out.
Before she died, the little palace maid successfully saw the crowd coming from afar, and Concubine Shu who was surrounded by palace maids.
She died with her eyes closed.
Shu Guifei was disturbed late at night and was naturally in a bad mood. There was so much noise outside that when she came out, she saw such a bloody scene.
In this troubled time, even these servants were restless, which really made her unhappy. Seeing that Emperor Jing'an was about to die, if Qi Rui could not sit on the throne, her life in this palace in the future would be difficult.
She was really annoyed that these stupid things dared to cause trouble in her palace. She really didn't want to live anymore.
"When have you ever disturbed the Imperial Concubine? Don't you know that this is the Imperial Concubine's palace?" The head nanny beside Imperial Concubine Shu immediately reprimanded the guards loudly.
The leading guard slowly said the words he had prepared long ago, "This little palace maid was an assassin who wanted to do something illegal. I just dealt with her as a routine matter. I didn't want to disturb the imperial concubine's rest. It's my fault."
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Concubine Shu's eyes. He just wanted to finish the matter quickly and leave.
The head nanny listened while observing the little palace maid. She felt that the little palace maid looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered who she was and whispered into Shu Guifei's ear.
"My queen, the dead person looked like he was from the prince's palace. Could it be that he really wanted to do something illegal?"
Concubine Shu had an impatient look on her face, her eyes were deep, and she looked at them as if they were dead people. She opened her red lips slightly, raised her slender jade finger, pointed at the little palace maid and said, "Give me what she has in her hand."
The leading guard looked back and was filled with shock. He realized that the letter had been taken back by the palace maid and was held in her hand, and was seen by Concubine Shu.
It was impossible to take it back now, and he missed an opportunity to gain merit in front of the emperor.
Someone immediately came forward and took the letter from the dead little palace maid's hand. There was still blood stains on it. The head nanny took it and wiped the blood stains clean with a white handkerchief.
However, he did not hand the letter directly to Concubine Shu. How could the concubine touch something that was tainted with bad luck?
The head nanny had no idea what the contents were, and most of the palace maids around her were illiterate, so she calmly opened the letter, displayed the contents, and placed them in front of Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu didn't care much about this matter at first. She took a casual glance and her impatient look immediately turned into shock.
A hint of joy slowly rose in his calm eyes, and upon closer inspection, there was even madness.
"You..." Concubine Shu took the letter in her hand and slowly put it away, "Well done, she deserves death, clean up and go back."
Considering that their quarrel brought her such a huge surprise, she didn't care.
A little palace maid has died tonight, that is enough.
Let's look forward to tomorrow's show...
