Chapter 202: Killed Again
In the middle of the night, the group walked towards the main hall again.
You have to walk a rather steep mountain road in the middle. The lanterns flicker in the mountain breeze, which feels indescribably weird.
Aunt Xu was afraid that Su Chenyu would not be able to see the road clearly and fall, so she held a lantern in front of her and carefully illuminated the mountain road.
However, Nanny Du and her group behind Nanny Xu and Su Chenyu slowly slowed down their pace. When the two of them passed the bend in front of them, Nanny Du stopped and a sinister smile appeared on her face.
The stone under Madam Xu's feet loosened, and she lost her balance and fell directly down the mountain. Su Chenyu quickly grabbed Madam Xu's hand, but she also fell down due to inertia. Fortunately, she reacted in time and grabbed a protruding stone beside the mountain road with her other hand.
"Madame Du, pull us up quickly." Su Chenyu shouted.
Madam Du and several palace maids came up. They just looked indifferently at Su Chenyu and Madam Xu who were hanging on the edge of the cliff. Especially Madam Du, she just squatted down and met Su Chenyu's eyes when she looked up at her, with a cruel look on her face.
"Prince Fengyi, you can only blame yourself for having bad luck. You have to go against the Empress Dowager time and time again."
Su Chenyu showed a look of fear on her face: "Madam Du, what do you want to do?"
"You are a smart man and should know how to choose. Unfortunately, you have made the wrong choice time and time again. In this case, there is no need for you to continue living." Nanny Du stretched out her hand and little by little pried open Su Chenyu's hand that was holding the stone.
“No, no…”
Ignoring Su Chenyu's attempts to stop her, Madam Du said coldly, "Son, I hope you will be reborn into a good family in your next life."
As she spoke, Madam Du completely pried Su Chenyu's hands off the stone.
"Ah..." With a scream, Su Chenyu and Aunt Xu fell off the cliff together.
Madam Du stood up and looked at the dark abyss below. The smile on her face gradually faded: "You know what to say, right?"
"Gong Yu was afraid of something happening in the back mountain, so he took Madam Xu back to the main hall in the middle of the night. He didn't see the road clearly and fell off the cliff."
Hearing them say this, Madam Du showed a look of satisfaction.
This prayer trip was originally intended to take Su Chenyu's life.
If the person found in the wing room that day was Su Chenyu, the Queen Mother would have directly given her a cup of poisoned wine. And just now, if Su Chenyu was not in the wing room, the Queen Mother would have pushed all the things in the back mountain onto Su Chenyu, and she would not be able to escape the death penalty.
However, Su Chenyu dodged the first two times, so she could only use the last method.
She could have kept her body intact, but now that she has fallen off the cliff, I'm afraid there will be no trace of her body left.
"Let's go back too..."
Early the next morning, Jingchi brought Concubine Song to the Empress Dowager.
Looking at Song Qingxuan kneeling in front of her, the Queen Mother said calmly: "Now is the period of blessing, it is not appropriate to kill. Although Concubine Song has committed a serious mistake, I hope that God will be merciful and kind. I will remove her from her position and drive her out of the capital."
If a concubine in the harem has an affair with a man outside her family, will she just be stripped of her position and driven out of the capital?
The Queen Mother wanted to save Song Qingxuan herself, but she chose to use the excuse of praying for blessings, which was simply bringing shame to Jizhao Temple. The hypocritical face of this Queen Mother was exactly the same as it was back then.
