Chapter 169: Death of Lady Yu
The young eunuch's words, for example, when he said that Concubine Yu was dead, were still shocking.
Concubine Yu is dead. It was the prince who killed Concubine Yu!
Oh my god, what's this big fuss?
The prince's party thought this was a big fuss, and were frightened to death.
Su Yanshu was so shocked that the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The prince killed someone? And he was caught on the spot? It would be fine if he killed an ordinary person, but it had to be Concubine Yu, the emperor's woman!
Su Zhiyi's smile froze, and she looked at the eunuch in disbelief. What was this lowly bastard talking about? How could the prince kill someone?
She also wanted to be the Crown Princess and had just reached an agreement with the Crown Prince. How could this happen!
The queen was also shocked. She stroked her forehead and almost fainted. "Impossible, what are you talking about?"
Concubine Shu was surprised and asked, "Did you see it wrong?"
The young eunuch did not dare to look up: "This servant... is definitely not mistaken, this servant is from Concubine Yu's palace, and now... now the prince is still there. If the emperor does not believe it, you can follow this servant to take a look."
Fu Qingyin pondered and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and take a look."
The emperor stood up slowly: This concerns the crown prince, and the crown prince is related to the country, I must go and see it myself.
Eunuch Wei flicked his whisk and said, "Go ahead!"
Yu Shengsheng slowly opened her eyes, still holding the hairpin tightly in her sleeve.
She didn't faint at all. The medicine she swallowed during the meal played an important role.
The reason why she pretended to faint was that she knew she couldn't escape. The person behind the scenes dared to do this, so he must have made full preparations. This was the imperial palace, and she was unfamiliar with the place.
Second, she also wanted to see what was going on.
She has no worries now and has nothing to be afraid of. Perhaps, only by risking her life can she be reborn.
Others are trying to put her in a dead end, but that might be exactly what she needs to survive.
The two guards who brought her here just now didn't say a word, they kept their mouths shut. They just left her here and left.
Where is this?
After opening my eyes, I didn’t get up immediately. I first observed the range I could see.
She definitely hadn't been here.
She had been to only a few places in the palace, and they all left a deep impression on her.
There is a magnolia tree in the corner. It is past its flowering season, but the leaves on the tree are still lush.
There were some flowers and plants under the tree, but they were not very precious and were much inferior to those at Concubine Shu's place.
There was no one anywhere I could see.
Very quiet.
Why did the two guards put her here? Yu Shengsheng thought quickly.
After waiting for a while, there was indeed no one there. She got up from the ground, clenched the hairpin in her hand, and looked around.
Just at this moment, I heard hurried footsteps outside. There were many and mixed sounds, so there should be quite a few people.
She put the hairpin back into her sleeve and looked back.
His eyes met with Fu Qingyin who had come in earlier.
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes slightly, while Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Next to him was the young eunuch leading the way, and behind him were the emperor, empress, imperial concubine Shu and others.
Yu Shengsheng's heart sank.
The queen saw her and shouted angrily, "Yu Shengsheng! You are here. Is Concubine Yu's death related to you?"
Yu Shengsheng immediately realized that this was Concubine Yu’s palace.
Is Concubine Yu dead?
"Come, take her down!" the queen ordered.
Fu Qingyin said calmly: "Empress, don't be anxious. Even if you want to arrest and interrogate him, the Red Dragon Guards are here, so you don't have to be so angry."
He took a few steps forward and came close to Yu Shengsheng: "Why are you here?"
Yu Shengsheng knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Madam, Commander, I was knocked unconscious and brought here."
The queen sneered, "Knocked out? What a coincidence. You were sitting quietly at your seat at the banquet in the palace. Who could have knocked you out and brought you here?"
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips slightly. Although she didn't know the reason, she felt that it had nothing to do with Concubine Shu.
If it was really the work of Concubine Shu, she would not have used the palace maids around her.
The emperor stared at her and spoke slowly: "Yu Shengsheng, answer the question."
"Your Majesty, a palace maid told me that the Imperial Concubine wanted to dance for Your Majesty. Because I had painted her portrait, she asked me to help with her makeup. Then I left with her."
"Halfway through the journey, she realized something was wrong, but it was too late. She had used a drug to knock me unconscious."
The Queen glanced at Concubine Shu and asked, "How come my sister is also involved in this matter?"
Concubine Shu was calm and said, "Empress, the matter has not been clarified yet, don't rush to draw conclusions. Didn't you hear what Princess Ruiyang said? It was a palace maid who called her out, not me. Someone did bad things in my name, and I am wronged."
The Queen wanted to say something, but Fu Qingyin said, "Your Majesty, please go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first."
Yes, where is the prince?
The emperor walked in with a sullen face.
When the queen passed by Yu Shengsheng, she seemed not to see it and deliberately stepped on her finger.
Yu Shengsheng frowned slightly but said nothing.
This is the harem, and Su Huaiyuan and the others cannot come in, but Lu Xingyao, Lu Xingzhan, and Kong Dezhao still followed and stood outside the palace gate.
Lu Xingzhan whispered: "Hey, how are you?"
Yu Shengsheng looked up at him, said nothing, and lowered her head again.
Lu Xingzhan wanted to say something, but Lu Xingyao glared at him.
Inside the palace.
As soon as the emperor walked in, he saw several eunuchs and palace maids lying on the ground. The blood under their bodies had not yet dried, but they were all dead.
Walking further in, into the inner hall, the emperor had one foot in the door and one foot out, and when he saw the scene in front of him, anger burned in his eyes.
The prince was only wearing his inner garment, with his hair loose and his forehead supported by his hand. He sat sideways next to Concubine Yu with one leg resting on her.
Concubine Yu was only wearing a bellyband, with a corner of a thin quilt draped over her waist, and her legs were exposed.
Her face was pale, her eyes were wide open, her hair was spread out on the pillow, and she was dead.
The prince's outer robe was thrown under the bed, and a sword stained with blood was thrown beside it.
Judging from the situation, it was obvious what had happened.
The prince still smelled of alcohol, which mixed with the smell of blood, stimulated the emperor's nerves.
"Treason!"
As the king of a country, his own son cheated on him and killed the man, and he chose this day to let all the ministers and officials know about it.
How will he face the officials and the world in the future?
The emperor roared, picked up the sword on the ground and glared at the prince.
The queen was almost frightened out of her wits. She quickly came over, knelt down and grabbed his arm.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down! The prince has always been careful with his words and actions, and would never do such a thing. Your Majesty, please understand."
The emperor sneered, his eyes filled with even more anger, and he wished he could burn her to ashes.
"Clear inspection? The facts are right before our eyes, how can we be clear about it?"
The emperor suppressed his anger, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly: This rebellious son! He did not behave well with Concubine Yu, and killed so many eunuchs and palace maids, and he still used the sword I gave him.
The queen suppressed her grief and turned to look at the prince: "My son, please say something!"
The prince held his head and shook it, his eyes narrowed as if he couldn't see clearly, and consciousness slowly returned.
When he saw that it was the emperor and others, he quickly got off the bed and knelt down: "Father..."
