The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

Before dawn the next day, Fu Yao heard a sound coming from outside the door.

But after a while, Xinliu gently pushed open the door, tiptoed in cautiously, Fu Yao sat up from the bed, and looked up when Xinliu opened the curtain.

"Miss."

Xinliu exclaimed: "Are you awake?"

While talking, she patted her heart in fear, she was startled by seeing Fu Yao sitting when she opened the curtain just now.

Fu Yao looked at her suspiciously: "What happened... what happened?"

"Your Majesty, news came from the Concubine Jing's palace just now, saying that Concubine Jing is gone half an hour ago." Xinliu hung up the curtains while speaking, and took clothes and put them on Fu Yao: "Now in the palace News spread everywhere, saying that concubine Jing died suddenly, someone from the Liu family entered the palace, and the emperor went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now."

"Gone?"

Fu Yao had just heard the news, but before she could react, she looked at Xinliu with confused eyes.

Xinliu nodded: "It's strange to say that when we met yesterday, Concubine Jing's complexion was still very good, but she fell ill at night, and disappeared within a night, it is said that things are impermanent."

Only then did Fu Yao realize that Liu Xinru was really dead.

This news was even more surprising than the news that Liu Xinru was insane.

It was clear that Liu Xinru's sanity had returned to normal before, and she could still administer medicine to Li Min in the Empress Dowager's Palace, so why did she die suddenly?

Suddenly remembering that the last thing failed, Fu Yao was startled.

Could it be...the queen mother?
Thinking of this, Fu Yao got off the bed quickly, and Xin Liu hurriedly supported her: "Mother, it's not yet dawn, what are you doing?"

"Go, see Concubine Jing."

Seeing that Xinliu couldn't stop her, she had to remind Fu Yao to slow down and put on her clothes, shoes and socks before going outside.

When I arrived at Concubine Jing's side, I saw that white cloths had been hung up and down the palace, and the sound of crying could be faintly heard from inside.

Fu Yao also saw another person in front of the palace gate - An Chengyue.

An Chengyue also turned around when she heard the movement, and turned around quickly after seeing Fu Yao.

When Fu Yao came to her side, An Chengyue said in a low voice: "I really didn't think about it, but she would die."

Fu Yao looked into the hall following An Chengyue's eyes. The mourning hall was simple and sparse, with few people kneeling inside. Only Xiangmei stood guard in front of the mourning, and she was the one who uttered the cry.

An Chengyue's voice continued to ring in her ears: "She used to be a very vivid person. How could she go crazy and die."

Fu Yao didn't know what to say. She didn't have a good impression of Liu Xinru, but she suddenly became alone, and her life was lost rapidly, which always caught people off guard.

"Go in and have a look." Fu Yao said softly.

An Chengyue nodded and followed Fu Yao in.

As soon as the two of them entered, Xiangmei looked up, Fu Yao didn't pay much attention, and went directly to Liu Xinru's coffin, just when she got to the side, Xiangmei exclaimed: "Empress Empress!"

Fu Yao looked up suspiciously.

The next moment, I heard the empress dowager's stern voice from the gate of the palace: "Empress! What are you doing!"

The Queen Mother quickly brought people to the side. At the Queen Mother's signal, Liu Mama grabbed Fu Yao's hand and was about to pull it aside. Xin Liu anxiously came up to defend, but was stopped by other palace people nearby.

Nanny Liu's hands were strong, Fu Yao frowned, and was about to throw her hand away when An Chengyue slapped Nanny Liu's hand away, and pulled Fu Yao behind her. Facing the queen mother in fear.

"What are you doing!"

"Bold!" The queen mother yelled, staring at An Chengyue with unkind eyes: "How dare you be rude to the Ai family!"

An Chengyue snorted softly: "The empress dowager must have the bearing of an empress dowager. The people around you will attack the empress as soon as they come up. If they hurt the empress, it would be easy to cut off her hands!"

While An Chengyue was speaking, she glanced at Nanny Liu's hand.

Nanny Liu felt a chill on her wrist, and gave An Chengyue a vicious look.

The queen mother frowned and glanced at An Chengyue, then saw Fu Yao who was hiding behind An Chengyue with wide eyes but did not speak, snorted coldly: "What are you doing here at this moment?"

Fu Yao quietly pulled An Chengyue's clothes from behind, and then said in front of An Chengyue: "Come, see her."

"Concubine Jing and the Queen didn't have any friendship in the past, can you come to see her at this time? I think the Queen should go back first, so as not to cause trouble here."

Fu Yao's eyes swept across the hall, and then, as if she was afraid of the queen mother, she lowered her head and walked outside with a muffled answer.

An Chengyue followed closely behind.

Xinliu struggled to release the restraint and ran over to check Fu Yao's wrist: "Empress Empress, are you alright?"

Fu Yao shook her head, then looked at An Chengyue who ran out behind her: "You, don't you want to watch?"

"The queen mother is there. It's meaningless not to look at it. Everyone is dead, and I don't have a habit of thinking about corpses."

Fu Yao listened and smiled.

On the way back, An Chengyue also said: "The queen mother doesn't seem to love her niece Liu Xinru very much. Now that she is dead, she is pretending. I'm afraid my senior brother will be in trouble again."

Hearing what An Chengyue said, Fu Yao glanced at her.

It was still dark now, with only the two lamps in front of her. She couldn't see An Chengyue's expression clearly, but she could hear some from her tone.

The reason why the Empress Dowager showed such a nervous look about Liu Xinru was because the Empress Dowager and the entire Liu family wanted to use Liu Xinru's death to put pressure on the emperor.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao faintly felt worried.

Before she could think about it, An Chengyue interrupted her.

After the two separated, Fu Yao returned to Fengluan Palace, and Xinliu said, "Your Majesty, it's still early, you should rest for a while."

Fu Yao sat by the bed, did not answer, but asked Xin Liu: "Your Majesty, how long have you been...?"

Xinliu thought for a while: "It should be almost an hour."

Fu Yao glanced outside.

He hasn't come back after such a long time, and the people of Liu's family don't know how to embarrass him.

Moreover, Concubine Jing disappeared suddenly half an hour ago, even if the news was passed on at that time, how could she enter the palace so quickly?

Is it...

Fu Yao suddenly remembered that the queen mother hurried over just now, and even yelled at her when she was approaching Liu Xinru's coffin, trying to send her and An Chengyue away.

Could it be that all of this was designed by the Liu family?

A chill came from behind, and Fu Yao felt chills in his heart.

No matter what kind of person Liu Xinru is, she is at least from the Liu family and the queen mother's niece. For their own purposes, will they really send their relatives to death again and again?
