Chapter 84 Kill this bastard and avenge her child
A group of people suddenly came, said a few words, and then sat there eating and drinking, and then ran away inexplicably. In the eyes of Concubine Ru who was completely unaware of the situation, this was really confusing.
She didn't understand what these people were doing and was confused. She frowned and ordered Jin Xing, "Close the gate. If anyone comes again, refuse them if you can." Jin Xing agreed and went out to give the order.
Ji Jinyou also found it very strange. She crawled to the window and looked at the group of people rushing out of the courtyard. Her baby voice was full of confusion: "Why are the Seventh and Eighth Sisters leaving too?"
Usually, whenever the young prince and eldest nephew were not around, the seventh and eighth sisters would always stay and play with her.
Ru Fei was not sure either, and replied, "Maybe they are busy."
The seventeenth prince knew the inside story and guessed that they were going to chase Concubine Mu and Concubine Ying, but he could only pretend that he knew nothing. He also climbed to the window and took Xiaojiu's hand: "Xiaojiu, brother will accompany you."
It has been a long time since he played with his sister alone. Although he is not so disgusted with the young master snatching Xiaojiu from him now, he is still very happy when it is just him and Xiaojiu.
Ji Jinyou turned around and saw Seventeen's eyes sparkling. She smiled and took his other hand: "Brother, what shall we play?"
Seventeen: "How about we play hide and seek?"
Seventeen smiled and agreed. The two children put on their shoes and went downstairs, hiding in various places in the hall. One person hid in a certain place. After they were found, they laughed happily. For a while, the room was full of laughter.

Concubine Ying left Miaoyunxuan and ran to Chuixiang Palace, ignoring the rain above her head. Her personal maid Taozhi followed her all the way with an umbrella. When asked what was wrong, she refused to say anything and just kept running.
When they arrived at Chuixiang Palace, Concubine Ying knocked on the gate, pushed away the eunuch who came to answer the door, ran to the east wing where Song Zhaoyi lived, and kicked the half-open door open.
Song Zhaoyi was sitting alone in front of the dressing table, staring at the mirror, staring at the ugly burn scar on her face. When she heard a clang, she jumped up in surprise and turned around immediately. She saw Concubine Ying standing at the door, all wet with rain, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
Song Zhaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and she had some vague guesses, but she didn't show it on her face. She bowed as if nothing had happened and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Ying."
Concubine Ying looked at the smile on Song Zhaoyi's face and felt that she was extremely vicious. When she thought that her lovely child was harmed by this vicious woman with an ugly face and an even uglier heart, the boiling anger in her heart almost burst out of her chest.
At this moment, she didn't want to care about anything. There was only one thought in her mind: to kill this bastard and avenge her child.
Yes, kill her.
With this thought in mind, Concubine Ying loosened her clenched fists, picked up the celadon willow-leaf vase on the flower stand beside the door, and walked towards Song Zhaoyi step by step.
Seeing the murderous intent in Concubine Ying's eyes, Song Zhaoyi's heart skipped a beat and she stepped back subconsciously: "Someone, come quickly."
But it was too late.
Concubine Ying raised her arm, turned around, and smashed the willow-leaf vase in her hand against the wall with a bang, breaking the porcelain vase directly. The broken pieces fell all over the ground. Only half of the bottle was left in her hand, with sharp edges.
She took the broken bottle and rushed forward to stab Song Zhaoyi: "You bastard, give me back my son's life."
"Someone, help!" Song Zhaoyi was terrified and screamed. She picked up the bronze candlestick beside her and swung it back and forth, trying to knock the porcelain bottle out of Concubine Ying's hand.
Ying Fei's maid Taozhi had just been stopped by the eunuch who answered the door to ask about the situation. When they heard the noise, they both ran in.
The young eunuch was young, and was so frightened by Concubine Ying's crazy look that he sat down on the ground and ran out, "Someone come, someone's been murdered."
Taozhi's face changed drastically, and she rushed forward to hug Concubine Ying: "Your Majesty, you can't do this."
Concubine Ying pretended not to hear and went to provoke Song Zhaoyi like crazy: "Give me back my son's life, give me back my son's life..."
When Taozhi heard this, she was suddenly stunned, and her hands loosened and stopped trying to stop her. Looking at her master's crazy look, her mind quickly turned and she understood about 70% of it. Thinking of her lovely little master who unfortunately died young, she was filled with anger and her face darkened.
Seeing that her master had been unsuccessful in his attempts and had been hit several times by the long candlestick in Song Zhaoyi's hand, she ran over to help and stretched out both hands to grab Song Zhaoyi, but Song Zhaoyi swung the candlestick to hit the peach branch.
Concubine Ying took this opportunity to lift the porcelain bottle high and stabbed it towards Song Zhaoyi's face, but several people were moving and the stab went astray and stabbed Song Zhaoyi's shoulder.
The sharp porcelain pieces pierced through his clothes and flesh, leaving a big gash. Blood gushed out and Song Zhaoyi screamed miserably.
Song Zhaoyi and two other palace maids were busy in the side room. They rushed over when they heard the eunuch's shout. When they entered the room and saw the situation, their faces changed drastically. They shouted and ran forward to help. Taozhi turned around and tried to stop them.
When Concubine Mu ran in breathlessly, the room was in chaos and chaos.
One of Song Zhaoyi's arms was covered in blood, but the candlestick in her other hand was still twitching, so Concubine Ying couldn't get close to her for a while.
Seeing this, Concubine Mu ran over in two or three steps, raised one foot, and kicked an embroidered cushion beside the table under Song Zhaoyi's feet.
Song Zhaoyi was avoiding Concubine Ying and retreating repeatedly. She was caught off guard and was tripped by a embroidered cushion that suddenly rolled over and knocked to the ground. The candlestick in her hand also rolled out.
Concubine Ying seized the opportunity, rushed forward, rode on Song Zhaoyi, raised the candlestick in her hand high, and smashed it down hard, piercing Song Zhaoyi's chest, stomach, and face...
Mupin waited for Concubine Ying to stab her a few times, then pushed her away, snatched the porcelain bottle from her hand, and continued to stab Song Zhaoyi...
Soon, Song Zhaoyi, who was screaming and struggling, stopped moving.
The two palace maids who were arguing with Taozhi noticed that there was no movement here, so they poked their heads out to look, screamed in fear, and their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.
Mupin's maid looked at the bloody and horrifying scene, turned around and ran out, holding onto the wall and vomiting.
Taozhi looked back, and her legs went limp. She sat down on the ground, her voice trembling and incoherent: "Master, Master, we killed someone."
Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu were both sitting paralyzed on the ground, their hands, faces, and bodies were covered with spots of blood. Their blood was boiling and their hands were shaking.
The two sat for a long while before they looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they reached out their hands at the same time, helped each other to stand up, one holding the porcelain vase, the other picking up the candlestick, and went out, heading towards the main hall where Concubine An lived in the increasingly heavy rain.
Taozhi's legs were shaking. She crawled a few times before getting up from the ground and ran after her: "My lady, wait for me."
Concubine Ying pushed her and said, "Don't interfere."
Taozhi was angry and anxious, "I will follow you."
Concubine Ying waved the porcelain bottle at her and cursed fiercely, "Get away from me."
Taozhi was startled and didn't dare to go forward. But she knew her master was thinking about her, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu walked to the main hall and knocked on the door, but it was tightly closed.
Except for Concubine Ning, who didn't like to join in the fun and took the Eighteenth Prince back to her own palace, all the people who had just listened to Tong Tong's talk in Miaoyunxuan rushed over.
As soon as they entered the gate of Chuixiang Palace, they saw Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu, both soaked and with blood on their clothes. One of them was banging on the door frantically with a candlestick, while the other was waving a half-broken porcelain bottle and confronting the people blocking the window, trying to climb in through the window.
Although the two little girls, Princess Seven and Princess Eight, were experienced, they were frightened by the crazy looks of the two men. They turned pale, hugged each other and took a few steps back.
The Seventh Princess: "I wonder when the Queen Mother and the Consort will arrive."
The Eighth Princess hugged her arms tighter: "It should be soon."
As soon as the two of them came out of Miaoyunxuan, they felt that something big might happen, so they instructed their respective palace maids, one to go to Fengyi Palace to find the empress, and the other to go to Furong Palace to find the imperial concubine. Calculating the time, they should go out after receiving the news.
Song Zhaoyi was disfigured, and only two useless palace maids and a young eunuch were left by her side.
Because Concubine An took the Seventh Prince in to raise, she had some status in the harem and had several more servants around her than Song Zhaoyi. When she heard the commotion here just now, Concubine An immediately asked everyone to enter the hall, closed the door tightly, and moved tables, chairs and benches to block the door tightly. At this moment, no matter how badly Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu cursed outside, she refused to open the door.
Noblewoman Yue and Noblewoman Fang had fought before, but their fights were just minor quarrels between women due to jealousy. Now, seeing the life-threatening madness of Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They supported each other and managed to stand firm, but they dared not step forward even if they were beaten to death.
Concubine Shun looked at the scars on Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu, then glanced towards the east side hall. Her eyelids twitched wildly and she had guessed what had happened.
No mother can remain rational when facing the murderer of her own child. When she first heard that Thirteen would harm Fourteen, she wanted to strangle the little beast Thirteen to death. So she could fully empathize and understand the feelings of Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu who wanted to kill people.
Song Zhaoyi deserved to die, but blatantly killing someone in the palace was a crime punishable by beheading, and the family might even be implicated. If Song Zhaoyi could be rescued, the guilt of Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu would be lessened.
I just don’t know if Song Zhaoyi is dead now, and I don’t know if it’s too late.
But whether it was too late or not, they had to give it a try. Concubine Shun ordered the palace maid beside her: "Go and call the imperial physician quickly. Go quickly and say that you are waiting for help."
The maidservant beside Concubine Shun was also smart. Although she didn't know what had happened, she could see that her master looked extremely serious. She responded, stuffed the umbrella in her hand into Concubine Shun's hand, and ran towards the Imperial Hospital.
Concubine Shun looked back and saw Princess Seven and Princess Eight huddled together, and Noble Lady Yuefang huddled together, all standing far away.
No help at all. Concubine Shun sighed, put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, held it upside down, and walked lightly to the door of the main hall.
He suddenly raised his umbrella handle and knocked out Concubine Mu, who had smashed the palace door with the candlestick and made countless holes in it. Then he reached out to support her in time, slowly put her against the door, took the candlestick from her hand and threw it far away.
Then he walked to the window and knocked Concubine Ying unconscious, who seemed to have lost her mind and had one leg on the windowsill, about to enter the house. The half-broken porcelain bottle in Concubine Ying's hand fell.
Concubine Shun raised her umbrella and knocked the porcelain vase onto the steps, smashing it into pieces. She dropped the umbrella, supported Concubine Ying, and then shouted to the trembling Concubine Yue and Concubine Fang, "Come over and help them."
