Chapter 300 Tripping

"Since you have the ability to stop the Queen Mother's people, why not just use your status as a concubine to get revenge on Xu Ruxian? It would be a waste of time to find me."

"You don't understand." At this point, Concubine Guo Shu smiled inexplicably, and she looked at Xu Ruqing with envy and sadness in her eyes: "I don't have your good fortune, to have a strong background like the King of Wei to rely on. I can find someone to kill Xu Ruxian directly, and at worst, both sides will die, but who can end it for me in the end?"

"Xu Ruqing, sometimes I really envy you. No, it should be the women in the entire harem who envy you, and even envy you. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei loves you very much, and you should feel honored."

Xu Ruqing smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "I don't think being envied is something to be happy about. It is tantamount to attracting hatred and increasing the chances of facing danger. However, this has nothing to do with whether he loves me or not."

"I accept your invitation. At least you and I have reached a consensus on this matter. We are allies for the time being."

Concubine Guo Shu was a little excited: "What can I do for you?"

Xu Ruqing was not in a hurry: "I have prepared a good show today. Concubine Shu just needs to cooperate with me in the performance at the banquet later."

……

When the two returned again, Su Yichen was not there. It was said that he had received a temporary message and went back home to deal with some matters.

That's good, his absence makes it easier for me to show off my skills.

"Princess, the prince has prepared a sedan chair for you to take back to the palace. If you need someone, we can escort you back at any time."

"Yeah." Xu Ruqing responded lightly.

When the song ended, warm applause broke out all around.

"The Fairy's piano playing is truly unmatched. Even I, who am not good at playing the piano, am mesmerized by it." Queen Zhao gave a symbolic compliment.

Being treated as an actor and playing the piano to entertain so many people is not something to be proud of. This just shows that Xianpin has a low status and can only please people.

Xianpin didn't seem very happy. If it wasn't for the emperor's suggestion and the queen's encouragement, she would never have shown her piano skills. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. But I can't compare to you in terms of piano skills. Everyone knows that the queen played a piece of music called "High Mountains and Flowing Water" in the past, which expressed her sorrow of finding a soulmate in the world. It's rare that the emperor is in high spirits today, why don't you play a piece for me, too?"

"The queen is the mother of a country and should be dignified and steady. How can she sing like an actor to liven up the atmosphere? If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off." After saying this, Concubine Guo Shu suddenly realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth to apologize: "Oh, look at my stupid mouth. I didn't mean to say that Sister Xianpin was an actor. Please don't take it to heart."

Xu Ruxian clenched her fists under her sleeves and said, "How could that be? Sister Shufei is right. But just because the Queen can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it either. How about Sister Shufei playing a song for me?"

"You've already played it once. If I play it again, not only will my skills not be as good as yours, but it will also lack originality and be futile. Forget it."

"If you don't want to play the piano, then dancing should be a new idea. If Sister Shufei refuses again, it means she is looking down on me." She was determined to get someone to make a fool of herself.

"I also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but I just twisted my ankle. Sigh... It's really God's will." Concubine Guo Shu glanced at Xu Ruqing who was quietly drinking tea, thought for a while and said, "How about this, Concubine Chu is not only a superb zither player but also a great dancer. It was because of her excellent performance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last year that she caught the eye of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei and became his concubine. Why not let her..."

"Is Concubine Shu stupid? Concubine Chu is pregnant." The Queen reminded in time.

"Oh my, I forgot about this again. When I mentioned the King of Wei, the first thing I thought of was Concubine Chu. It's really because Concubine Chu is so outstanding."

Concubine Guo Shu's words hit the nail on the head. She said that when the King of Wei was mentioned, the first person he thought of was Chu Yu, not Xu Ruqing, which indirectly showed that she was more powerful than Xu Ruqing, so powerful that she overshadowed her as the main wife. This satisfied Chu Yu's vanity to a great extent.

"It's not Shufei's fault. A banquet is for everyone to get together and talk and laugh. How can I bear to ruin everyone's elegance?" Chu Yu stood up, her eyes arrogant and contemptuous: "But solo dance is meaningless. I have a better suggestion, which is to let the princess join in. The two of us sisters dancing a duet will definitely amaze everyone. What do you think?"

If it were any other time, Xu Ruqing would definitely refuse, but today she agreed without hesitation. "Okay."

Chu Yu didn't think much about it. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, where there was a blood bag tied inside her clothes.

She had already prepared everything, and Concubine Shu just happened to bring this gust of east wind.

Queen Zhao wanted to persuade her, "Chu Yu is ignorant, so how can Princess Wei also be ignorant? They are both pregnant, what will happen if something goes wrong?"

"Gaochang's daughters are born good at singing and dancing. The queen can rest assured, nothing will happen." She just hoped that something would happen, the bigger the better.

The zither player plucked the first string, and the soft and beautiful sound of the guqin flowed slowly from under his hands like running water.

As the instrument progresses, the sounds of the piano become more and more intense. The clanging sounds of the pipa and the mournful wails of the erhu are then inserted, as if suggesting that a bloody war is about to break out. There is lonely smoke in the desert, yellow sand rolling on the ground, and horses neighing.

Chu Yu is a natural dancer after all, and her dancing posture is very light, but as she is pregnant, every step she takes makes people worried.

When the two of them switched positions, Chu Yu and Xu Ruqing looked at each other with a smug smile on their faces.

She stretched out her foot and deliberately touched Xu Ruqing, creating the illusion that Xu Ruqing had tripped her.

Sudden--

"what!"

Chu Yu and Xu Ruqing fell to the ground at the same time. Chu Yu screamed loudly on purpose and fell heavily on her stomach with a dull thud.

Soon, blood flowed from her body like a river, and the blood flowed all over the ground like water from a faucet.

"Sister, why did you trip me on purpose? Why did you kill my child?" Chu Yu had a sad expression, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but where no one could see, the corners of her mouth were raised.

Xu Ruqing, you came here on your own initiative today, so you should take the lives of those two children for me and go down to raise them for me!

Xu Ruqing tried hard to get up from the ground, but she couldn't do it after struggling for several times.

Because there was blood under her skirt.

"Princess Wei, you, you..." Concubine Guo pointed at Xu Ruqing's skirt, which was dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Emperor Yan Qian was shocked. Such a thing happened in front of so many people. It was tantamount to severing the bloodline of the Su family and hurting two people at once. If Su Yichen knew about this, he might do something terrible.

"Hurry and call the imperial physician!"
