Chapter 3 "Peaceful and Unassuming" Consort 3

Rong Chen gave her a deep look. "Okay, I'll prove it to you."

Three days later

Bihui Palace.

Consort Xian clenched the note in her hand, and after a while, she burned it.

She knew it... she knew it.

The Imperial Concubine had saved the Emperor's life and was also incredibly beautiful, so it was understandable that the Emperor wanted to give her the Empress's position.

Now, even her father is advising her to give up.

But she was unwilling to accept it.

Luo Xi was merely the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, but she was the legitimate daughter of a prime minister. She had always believed that she would be the empress.

If Luo Xi hadn't saved the Emperor's life, the Empress's position would definitely have been hers.

How did Luo Xi end up saving the Emperor? What a coincidence!

Suddenly, she thought of something.

No, that's impossible.

That assassination attempt was carried out by people from the previous dynasty.

One month later,

Buqiong Palace.

For the past month, Murong Han has come to have dinner with Luo Xi every night. After each meal, he would talk to her for a while before returning to the Holy Temple.

Tonight, after dinner, Murong Han lingered and did not leave.

Luo Xi frowned slightly, her expression remaining impassive.

Murong Han looked at Luo Xi's exquisite profile, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Imperial Consort, I wish to stay tonight."

Luo Xi: !!!

She took out a handkerchief, placed it to her lips, and coughed lightly a few times. "Your Majesty, I am not fully recovered and cannot serve you in bed."

Murong Han pursed his lips and said, "I won't touch you, I'll just hold you while I sleep."

Luo Xi seemed to have thought of something; her eyes flashed, and then she nodded.

Half an hour later,

Murong Han had just lain down with Luo Xi in his arms.

Rong Chen then stormed in.

As the regent, Rong Chen wielded immense power, and his influence was not merely a figurehead. He had people in every hall of the palace, and he could enter and leave the palace at will.

He naturally had his people in Bujong Palace as well.

He naturally knew that the emperor was not leaving for a long time.

Murong Han was stunned when he saw Rong Chen.

He released Luo Xi, stood up, and looked coldly at Rong Chen. "Regent, this is the inner palace. What are you doing here? And with a sword, are you plotting a rebellion?"

Rong Chen glanced at Luo Xi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was still wearing her nightgown.

Murong Han shouted outside, "Someone come here! Someone come here!"

The people outside were completely silent, as if they were dead, let alone coming in.

Then, Rong Chen and Murong Han started fighting.

Fifteen minutes later, Rong Chen pierced Murong Han's chest with his sword, and he fell to the ground...

As Murong Han breathed his last, he saw Rong Chen embrace his concubine. In the end, he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Rong Chen glanced at Murong Han, who was lying dead on the ground.

“Throw him to Bihui Palace, and also, tear Consort Xian to pieces.”

Guard: "Yes, Master."

Rong Chen looked at Eunuch Quan, who was waiting to the side, and said, "Tomorrow at the morning court, you will tell all the ministers that Consort Xian is from the previous dynasty and that she assassinated the Emperor."

“You avenged the Emperor by killing Consort Xian.”

Don't think he doesn't know that Consort Xian wants to deal with Luo Xi.

Since she has such intentions, he cannot let her live.

Eunuch Quan (Murong Han's personal eunuch): "Yes, Regent."

Finally, Rong Chen declared himself emperor.

No one dared to object.

Some people actually know how the emperor died.

But no one dared to say it.

Because if they say it, it will definitely implicate the entire clan.

They didn't want to, and they dared not...
