Chapter 187 I Don’t Choose Anyone
Just when Xiao Heng was having trouble deciding, Rong Yue's voice rang out from the crowd: "Ruan Yuxiao! Don't be confused."
She walked behind Xiao Heng and said, "If you release Concubine Xi and Concubine Zhao, the Emperor will definitely spare your life."
Xiao Heng was tall and slender, and his imposing figure just concealed Rong Yue's petite body.
She flicked her sleeves lightly, revealing a sharp light.
The queen beside her reacted immediately, turned her eyes to Ruan Yuxiao and distracted her attention.
"Rongpin is right! Ruan, as long as you put down the knife in your hand, I will give you whatever you want!"
Just as the Queen was speaking, Xiao Heng's hands, which were behind his back, were suddenly covered by a pair of soft hands, and then something was quietly stuffed into his palms.
Touching the cold and sharp weapon, he knew it was a flying knife, and slowly turned the hidden weapon in another direction.
"Hahahaha... give me everything?" The scarlet at the corners of Ruan Yuxiao's eyes seemed to be bleeding, and the veins at his temples were throbbing violently.
"Can you bring all 100 people in my Ruan family back to life?"
"Can you give me your throne as queen?"
Her pupils shrank into needle-points, stabbing at Xiao Heng with hatred: "Xiao Heng! Choose or not! If you don't choose! I will slit their throats with a knife. You won't get any of them."
"I won't choose anyone!"
Xiao Heng spoke with the calmness and brutality of a superior, and his bright yellow dragon robe made his face look as cold as ice.
"No one can threaten my imperial power."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a cold light flashed as his sleeves fluttered. A sharp blade broke through the air and accurately pierced Ruan Yuxiao's throat.
Ruan Yuxiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and bright red blood immediately gushed out from his neck.
As she staggered and fell, she suddenly tightened her hands back, wanting to pull Liu Yuetang and Concubine Zhao to be buried with her.
Just at this critical moment, the rope around Liu Yuetang's wrist broke with a snap.
She dropped the porcelain in her hand and tightly grasped the knife against her neck.
The blade instantly cut through the palm of his hand, and blood flowed down.
Amidst the sharp pain, Liu Yuetang only felt a flash of bright yellow before his eyes, and then blood splattered everywhere, and a woman's arm fell in front of him in a bloody mess.
The shrill scream frightened Liu Yuetang so much that she let go of the knife in her hand. At the same time as she felt relieved, her vision went dark and she fainted on the ground.
"Young Master!"
“Miaomiao!”
Seeing Liu Yuetang fainted on the blood-stained blue bricks, Xiao Heng's heart trembled violently, and he rushed forward and picked up Liu Yuetang's body.
After untying the rope, Liu Zheng hurried into the hall and followed Xiao Heng.
The queen was also frightened and turned pale. She quickly ordered the eunuch to call the imperial physician.
Seeing Concubine Zhao slumped on the ground covered in blood, she asked with concern, "Concubine Zhao, are you okay?"
Concubine Zhao looked ahead with a deathly pale face, her ears seemed to be buzzing, and she could not hear any sound around her.
Xia Ying squatted beside Concubine Zhao in fear, choking with sobs, "Your Majesty...are you okay? Please don't scare me."
Concubine Zhao's eyes were still dead, and she could only feel the dull pain in her heart.
The scene just now appeared in her mind again and again.
She didn't expect that when Ruan Yuxiao asked the emperor to choose one person to survive, the emperor would be so hesitant.
What I didn't expect was that he would say something that no one would choose.
Even though he had a flying knife in his hand and was confident that he could save himself, he still gambled with his life.
From the beginning to the end, to him, he was not as important as the throne and imperial power.
Whether it was seven years ago or now.
He would choose the throne without hesitation.
even……
Concubine Zhao smiled sadly, tears falling awkwardly from her blood-stained face.
In fact, she is not as good as Concubine Xi.
As soon as Concubine Xi fell down, the emperor immediately picked her up without even looking at her.
Seeing Concubine Zhao so heartbroken, how could the Queen not understand what was in her heart?
Even though she didn't like Concubine Zhao, as a woman, she also sighed for her infatuation.
"Xia Ying, bring Concubine Zhao in and give her a good wash."
"No need!" Concubine Zhao opened her lips coldly, and her eyes, which had been as stagnant as dead water, finally showed some life.
She took Xia Ying's hand and slowly stood up, saying in a cold voice: "Return to Yaohua Palace."
The Queen was about to say something when Mingpin beside her said, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Zhao wants to go back to the palace, then she can. It's not convenient to wash up here."
The Queen nodded slightly: "That's right."
She looked at Guard Wu at the door and said, "Send Concubine Zhao back to Yaohua Palace and ensure her safety."
Guard Wu immediately bowed and responded, "I obey your command."
Looking at Concubine Zhao's back, the Queen was still a little worried, and ordered the palace servants to bring the imperial physician to Yaohua Palace.
Mingpin curled her lips in a bitter and happy tone: "This is the first time that the Emperor has ignored Empress Zhao."
The Queen said in a deep voice: "Xipin fainted, and her hand was bleeding so much, it is natural for the Emperor to be worried about Xipin."
Mingpin nodded slightly: "That's right!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration in her heart.
The scene just now was so thrilling, and her life was hanging by a thread, but Concubine Xi was still able to find a way to save herself.
If she had not held the sword tightly at the end, Concubine Zhao would probably have died.
Speaking of which, Concubine Zhao should also thank Concubine Xi.
The sweet voice reached Ruan Yuxiao's ears. She half-closed her eyes and looked at the blurry figure in front of her, with unburned resentment and hatred still lingering in her eyes.
She hated why she fell in love with Xiao Heng.
She was unwilling to die like this.
The bright red blood gradually bloomed into hideous flowers on her red dress.
When I closed my eyes, the only thing left in my consciousness was the year I came of age.
She put on the wedding dress her mother had made for her and looked at herself in the bronze mirror for a long time.
That was the first time she wore red. Her mother said, "I wonder which man is so lucky to marry our Yuxiao."
She originally thought that she could wear this wedding dress and marry her beloved.
But an imperial decree for a beauty pageant completely changed her fate.
She thought, how great it would have been if she had not entered the palace for the selection.
How great it would have been if I hadn’t fallen in love with Xiao Heng at first sight.
In this way, father and mother will not leave me.
And I don't have to waste my best years in the deep palace.
As her consciousness gradually faded, she seemed to hear the sound of a jade flute.
It was like a dream from her youth, or a funeral song on the road to the underworld, completely enveloping her in darkness.
Fortunately... Fortunately, she was wearing her favorite red dress when she died.
After checking her breath, the guard bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ruan is dead."
Mingpin raised her handkerchief to her nose with a gloomy look and said, "You'd better take a good look. It's not another fake death."
Meipin's eyes flickered: "Ruan's hands have been chopped off. She is definitely dead this time."
Upon hearing this, the guard checked again.
After confirming his death, Mingpin breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's better to die, so that he won't come out to harm people again."
The main thing is that she caused harm but failed to kill herself, and instead scared herself.
It would have been great if Ruan Yuxiao could have killed Concubine Xi and Concubine Zhao with just one knife. That way, her death would have been a worthy one.
