Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 371
Xuanyuan Zhen walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Yingying couldn't hold on any longer, and she lay on the ground, motionless.

Huanxi rushed into the house, crying bitterly: "Girl, are you okay?"

Yingying had fainted and was unconscious.Huanxi dragged Yingying to the bed in pain, and didn't close her eyes all night.

It wasn't until the next day that Yingying slowly woke up: "Am I still alive?"

Huanxi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and when Yingying woke up, she couldn't help crying again: "Girl, you won't die, you won't die. Someone will come to save you!"

"No, Huanxi. No one cares about me except you."

Shaking his head happily.

And Yingying was already in despair.She closed her eyes again and said, "I'm so tired, happy."

"Girl?" Huanxi was a little scared to see Yingying's current appearance.

Yingying's voice was like a cloud floating in the sky, sometimes approaching and sometimes far away: "I want to sleep for a while."

Huanxi felt that her voice was being suppressed, and she couldn't speak anymore.After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud noise outside the hall.Then, someone broke in.

She turned her head and saw that it was the eunuch next to the emperor, followed by a group of people.

The eunuch used to come to Qinfang Palace to announce his decrees, but this time his expression was particularly indifferent.

"Master Qiong, it's time to get up."

Huanxi was about to wake Yingying up, but saw that she had opened her eyes and stood up numbly.

"Your Majesty Qiong, here is a glass of fine wine from the emperor, please drink it now." The eunuch looked at Yingying coldly, and pointed to the tray in the hand of the little eunuch beside him.

There is a glass of wine on the tray, white porcelain cups, bright colors.

Yingying stepped forward, ready to drink it.

"Girl, don't!" No matter how stupid Huanxi was, she understood that it was a glass of poisoned wine!
The leading eunuch was already very impatient, and with a look at her, someone dragged Huanxi aside, even though she shouted out her throat, no one would pay attention.

Yingying raised her glass and drank it down.

"Very well, Mr. Qionggui is really a cheerful person. Let's go!" The head eunuch smiled with satisfaction.

Huanxi was let go, and she ran over to hug Yingying tightly: "Girl, let me die with you."

Yingying shook her head, wanting to say something, but spit out a mouth full of blood.Blood is black, a color of despair.

……

After a while, when the other maids of Qinfang Palace came in, they saw such a scene.Yingying was wearing a white obscene dress, which was stained with blood.Huanxi was even more frightening, and she was hanged directly on the beam of the house.

The young maid fainted from fright, and the other maid in pink also turned pale.

There was only one maid in purple, who calmed down a bit and stammered, "What are you afraid of? We didn't kill her. Fan Die, go and help her up, let's go out!"

"Oh." Fendie hurriedly helped up the person on the ground.

After going out, several maids gathered around to talk.Fendie asked: "Sister Ziyue, just now the eunuch from the emperor came over and said that it was a gift of fine wine from the emperor. I am afraid it is poisonous wine."

"The emperor executed Qiong Guiren. No, this matter must be told to Empress Defei as soon as possible. Fan Die, you and I will go to Empress Defei's place and explain all this." Ziyue and Fen Die are under the command of Concubine De The first thing that comes to mind when something happens is Concubine De.

"Okay." Fendie nodded.

Without further ado, the two of them hurried to Defei Palace.

Concubine De looked at the two with little interest: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Madam, the emperor seems to have sent someone to poison Qionggui!"

Ziyue stupidly thought that if she said it, Empress Defei would be a little surprised.But what I didn't expect was that Concubine De didn't even raise her eyelids: "Oh, really."

"Yes. It was the eunuch next to the emperor who personally delivered the poisoned wine. Lady Qiong immediately vomited poisoned blood and died. And her court lady Huanxi hanged herself too." Fan Die followed up.When she thought of Huanxi's death, she felt lingering fear.

Concubine De asked, "Qinfang Palace, what happened last night?"

"Last night, the emperor came to Qinfang Palace. When he came, the servant said that Mr. Qiong had already fallen asleep. Then, the emperor asked the servant not to report, saying that he would go in and take a peek at Mr. Qiong before coming out."

"That Huanxi never let the slaves get close to the inner hall. I don't know the specific situation inside. But the emperor came out soon, still full of anger. Presumably, Qionggui offended the emperor.

Concubine De leaned on the chair, slowly picked up the tea bowl from the table to drink tea, and said after a while: "Aside from the emperor, did you see any other suspicious people?"

"No." Fendie and Ziyue shook their heads.

Concubine De put down the tea bowl heavily, and snorted coldly: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots! Is this palace raising you just to keep you there? I can't find anything!"

"I know my mistake." Ziyue and Fendie knelt down in fright.

"Get out!" Concubine De said angrily.

Ziyue and Fandie left in despair.Zhihuan on the side leaned in front of Concubine De, worried: "Mother, Yingying is dead, I'm afraid the emperor will take his anger out on you!"

"I also expected this. But the person who threatened me not only knew Yingying's identity, but also knew about Yingying and the prince. Even if I didn't take action, what happened today would still happen."

De Fei gritted her teeth.If she finds out who did it, she will definitely not let that person go!

"That's right, that person is terrifying, he knows everything." Zhihuan was extremely anxious.

"Yingying is dead, the emperor must have seen her and the crown prince struggling. No, I have to go to see the emperor now, otherwise he will definitely suspect that I have known about this for a long time." Concubine De suddenly stood up with an ugly expression on her face to the extreme.

Zhihuan followed behind Concubine De: "Your Majesty, servant girl, let's go with you."

Concubine De didn't pay attention to Zhihuan, she just quickened her pace and walked out.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Xuanyuan Zhen sat on the chair, with a lot of memorials in front of him.He looked tired and impatient.

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone held their breath, fearing that they would offend the emperor in front of them.

Even so, Xuanyuan Zhen's mood was not much better.He looked at the memorial in his hand, frowning tightly.Knowing that there was a rebellion by folk forces, Xuanyuan Zhen was so angry that he threw the memorial down!
"Let me in, let me in..."

Outside the hall, Concubine De's high-pitched voice kept coming.

Xuanyuan Zhen was already upset, but he became even more impatient when he heard the voice: "Who is outside?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it's the concubine De, who said that she has something urgent to report to the emperor."

Xuanyuan Zhen snorted: "Let her in, I want to see what's going on with her."

Concubine De was finally put into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, she was relieved from the bottom of her heart, as long as the emperor was willing to see her, it would be fine.After seeing the emperor, Concubine De put away her rude voice and said softly: "This concubine has something important to tell the emperor."

"Speak." Xuanyuan Zhen continued to review the memorial.

Concubine De said slowly: "In the morning, noble lady Qiong of Qinfang Palace drank poison and disappeared. And her palace maid also hanged to death."

"She didn't drink it herself, but I rewarded her." Xuanyuan Zhen finally raised his head and said calmly.

Concubine De knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't know what wrong Mr. Qiong has committed and needs to be executed?"

"I want to execute a person, do I still need a reason?" Xuanyuan Zhen put down his pen, with anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.He looked at Concubine De, wishing he could throw her out.In this way, you will not hear such hateful remarks.

"The concubine understands." Concubine De lowered her head and said nothing.

"You go back." Xuanyuan Zhen didn't want to see anything related to Mrs. Qiong, including Concubine De of course.

Concubine De's face instantly turned pale.But Xuanyuan Zhen's words, no one can refuse, she dragged her body slowly out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"In the future, I don't want to see her." Xuanyuan Zhen said to the eunuch standing beside him.

"Slave understands." This eunuch is also Xuanyuan Zhen's new favorite recently.

Xuanyuan Zhen said: "Go and call Yang Jian over."

"Yes, the slave is going to call someone now."

After a while, Yang Jian came over.He is the left servant of the imperial court's military department. Although he has a small official position, he was reused by the emperor at a young age.

"I have seen the emperor."

"Get up." Xuanyuan Zhen pointed to the memorial on the ground, "Look at the memorial."

"Yes." Yang Jian picked up the memorial on the ground, and his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing Yang Jian finish reading, Xuanyuan Zhen's expression also became furious: "What happened to you so many times, how did you become the servant of the Ministry of War!"

Yang Jian was sweating coldly, and he said bravely, "The emperor calms down. These people are just the remnants of the last riot, and their real strength is not strong. We just need to send troops over."

"Yu Dang?" Xuanyuan Zhen looked at Yang Jian coldly, making him uncomfortable.

Yang Jiandao: "It's the remnant party. They just attacked suddenly and violently. We didn't notice for a while, and we gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I don't want to hear the reason. Tell me directly, how to solve it? I don't want to hear the word Yu Dang again, understand?" Xuanyuan Zhen was obviously very angry.This riot will lead to more intense complaints from the people.

Yang Jian hurriedly said: "I understand. I am willing to recommend myself and personally send troops to suppress the remnants of the riots. I ask the emperor for approval."

"No, I have other things for you. I have to leave this matter to other people. Do you have any recommendations? It must be suitable." Xuanyuan Zhen asked.

Yang Jian replied: "I think that King Jing is worthy of a heavy responsibility."

"King Jing?" Xuanyuan Zhen was lost in thought, obviously hesitating.

"Exactly." Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhen's expression was not quite right, Yang Jian was also a little uneasy.

Xuanyuan Zhen thought for a while and said, "Yes. Tomorrow morning, you can recommend King Jing to lead troops to deal with the riot."

"I understand." Yang Jian said.

Xuanyuan Zhen waved his hand, signaling for Yang Jian to step down.

The whole hall became quiet again, Xuanyuan Zhen didn't know what he was thinking, and fell into deep thought for a long time.No one dared to say a word, they all knew that the emperor was in a rage.
