Chapter 94: Concubine Song's Assassination

Xu Lanshan stepped forward and said, "I wonder what Lady Song wants to say? I don't think there is anything more to talk about between us."

She had already repaid what she owed Concubine Song, so the so-called "master-servant relationship" was ridiculous.

Did anything like this ever happen between them?

Seeing her so self-righteous, Concubine Song was even more furious. She laughed with a mocking smile: "Noble Lady Chen is now in a high position and has climbed over my head. Naturally, she hopes that she will never see me again and that no one will know about Noble Lady Chen's past!"

Xu Lanshan smiled faintly: "If Miss Song feels that this is the case, then so be it."

Lady Song said sternly, "Isn't it?"

Xu Lanshan remained silent. There was really nothing to say to her.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, something unexpected happened!

Lady Song suddenly pulled out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed it hard into Xu Lanshan's heart!

"ah!"

"Ah! My Lady!"

Blood oozed from Xu Lanshan's chest, instantly staining her front red. She staggered backward, covering her chest with her hands, her face pale, with the dagger still stuck in her chest!

shocking.

Yu Chan supported her, her legs almost weak with shock: "My Queen! My Queen!"

"Hahahaha!" Concubine Song laughed crazily, "Bitch! You deserve this day! If I don't have a good life, then neither should you! I'm going to drag you down with me to be buried with me!"

Lady Song's eyes flashed with astonishing brightness because of excitement. She cursed Xu Lanshan like a poisonous snake with the most vicious words, and rushed over desperately to finish off Xu Lanshan.

"No! My Queen!" Yu Chan cried and rushed forward to stop them, pulling with Concubine Song.

Yuchan tried her best, but she couldn't stop the crazy Concubine Song. Xu Lanshan took a deep breath and shouted at Qinghe: "Help! Call for help! Do you want to be implicated by her?"

Qing He, who was completely frightened by this scene, came back to his senses with an "Ah!" and hurried forward to help pull Concubine Song away, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Xu Lanshan felt dizzy and cold all over. The severe pain in her chest and the gradual loss of her sanity made her unable to bear it any longer. She fainted...

When Xu Lanshan woke up, she had returned to Cuiyinxuan and was lying on the bed in Cuiyinxuan.

Who else could be sitting on the edge of the bed if not Emperor Yuan Yong?

"Your Majesty!" Xu Lanshan choked up and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.

Four parts of it are pretending to be pitiful, but six parts are genuine fear!

Even if she has to stay in this harem, she wants to live and not die.

Who could have imagined that Lady Song would be so crazy? Who could have imagined that she would have a dagger hidden in her arms? It was obvious that she wanted to die together with Xu Lanshan.

Xu Lanshan couldn't believe it even until this moment. Did Lady Song hate her so much that she was willing to sacrifice her own life?

Emperor Yuan Yong gently stroked her hand, a touch of tenderness emerging from his cold eyes. "It's okay, it's okay. Lan'er just needs to rest well. Imperial Physician Tang has examined her. Fortunately, Lan'er is blessed with a long life. She was only a fraction of an inch away from sustaining a heart attack. She'll be fine after some rest!"

Xu Lanshan forced a smile with a pale face, trying hard to hold back tears: "I have the Emperor's protection... I knew at that time that I would be fine. I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes, I would see the Emperor! As expected, I was right..."

Emperor Yuan Yong was stunned as he held her hand. He was at a loss for words and yet was deeply moved. His mood also lightened a little. He sighed helplessly with a smile: "You, you still have the energy to joke with me now!"

Xu Lanshan also laughed, "I am telling the truth, not joking!"

"Okay, okay, tell me the truth! Tell me the truth!" Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes were so gentle that they seemed to shed tears. It was a pity that the situation did not allow it, otherwise he would definitely hold her in his arms and kiss her.

He couldn't help but secretly wonder: Perhaps, it's really as she said? If it weren't for his protection, how could she have such good luck again and again? She really is different...

"Rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter!" Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes flashed coldly, "Song has been taken to the Ministry of Punishment. I will order a thorough interrogation!"

Xu Lanshan smiled softly: "Yes, I am very satisfied that the emperor can come to visit me. I will be more careful in the future."

Although Xu Lanshan was still a little dizzy and not in a good mood, her mind was still working well. This kind of thing would definitely end up being a scapegoat.

Even if the emperor wanted to, there were so many concubines in the palace. Who among those with high status didn't have some connections? Who didn't have a few people hiding in the dark? The harem was their home turf, and it wouldn't be easy for the emperor to investigate.

Emperor Yuan Yong felt more and more guilty: "I will come to see you and accompany you every day!"

Xu Lanshan was not polite at all. Her eyes immediately lit up. "Really? As long as Your Majesty doesn't mind, I will wait for Your Majesty to come! If, if you can't come for something, Your Majesty, please send someone to let me know so that I don't have to worry about you!"

"Don't worry, I won't forget!" Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled, and couldn't help but reach out to pinch her face out of habit. Just as he was about to pinch her, he suddenly remembered that she was still injured, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Emperor Yuan Yong was soft-hearted and loving. Lan'er was such a good girl, so considerate that he felt a little sorry for her.

If any other concubine had suffered such a crime and injustice, she would have burst into tears when she saw me, and would have begged for mercy, favor, and compensation in a pitiful manner.

Only she, not only did not ask for anything, but also made jokes with me. What's more, my original anger now felt a lot less intense.

Emperor Yuan Yong knew that she still needed more rest, so he left quickly.

Before he left, Xu Lanshan finally remembered to ask him how Concubine Bai was doing.

If she guessed correctly, Concubine Bai might have been plotted against by Concubine Song, and who knows what kind of suffering she must have endured. If the Emperor still wanted to punish her, that would be too pitiful.

"Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Lady Bai must have been wronged. She will not harm me!"

Emperor Yuan Yong was initially somewhat furious, but upon seeing Xu Lanshan pleading so earnestly, he could only sigh with a smile, "Lan'er still has the mind to meddle in such trivial matters! Well, since Lan'er said so, I will forgive her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Outside the bedroom, the Empress, Consort Yu, Consort Shu, Noble Consort Lian, Noble Consort Lin, Consort Mei, and Consort Fang had all arrived. The masters and servants filled the room, and the small Cuiyin Pavilion was immediately crowded. The Emperor was inside, forbidding anyone else to enter, and no one dared to act rashly.

When Concubine Chen was just rescued, the emperor's face was so ugly and full of anger that everyone was terrified. Anyone who dared not to understand at this moment would be seeking death.

The brocade curtain moved slightly, and footsteps were heard. The queen and the concubines hurriedly stood in a solemn manner. No matter what expressions they had before, they now showed some worry and concern.

The Queen hurried forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how is Concubine Chen?"
