Chapter 85 The hairpin is poisonous!
The hairpin shone with a cold light, and as it flew through the air, a faint blue flashed at the tip.
There is poison on the hairpin!
Xue Youli became anxious when she saw Concubine Ning suddenly jumping up from the ground.
Murong Che has no children yet. Once he dies, among the two remaining princes of the royal family, Murong Ye will be the most likely to inherit the throne.
If Murong Ye ascends the throne, he will definitely kill her first!
For her life, Murong Che must not die at this time!
Thinking of this, Xue Youli rushed over and stretched out his hand to stop Concubine Ning, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Unfortunately, her movements were not as fast as Concubine Ning's, and she missed. She could only watch as Concubine Ning aimed the poisoned hairpin in her hand at Murong Che's vitals!
Fortunately, Murong Che was prepared and he dodged to the side the moment the hairpin was swung towards him.
Concubine Ning missed her attack and caught a glimpse of Xue Youli from the corner of her eye. She suddenly turned her wrist and swung the hairpin in her hand in a different direction, stabbing it towards Xue Youli quickly. "Xue Youli, I'm going to take you away today!"
Her eyes were fierce, and her attacks were even more fierce.
There was no time at all for Xue Youli to react!
"!!!"
Ah this...
If Xue Youli had known that it would bring trouble upon himself, he would definitely not have spoken so quickly.
After all, her life motto is: It is better to die with friends than to die with poverty!
Against a female killer like Concubine Ning who had fought her way out of a pile of dead bodies, her three-legged cat kung fu was simply not enough.
You can’t outrun it, you can’t avoid it!
Seeing that the hairpin in Concubine Ning's hand was about to be pierced, Xue Youli's pupils trembled, and two lines of words flashed through his mind -
Finished!
It's game over now!
However, the next moment!
Two long legs kicked into the air at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, accurately kicking Concubine Ning's hand that was holding the hairpin.
Ding!
The hairpin was kicked to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Xue Youli's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the two people who rescued her in time.
One of them was her bedmate, the other was her eldest daughter-in-law, and now they were both her saviors!
"Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
Xue Youli felt happy again as she listened to the two people's tacit questions.
No one present expected that Concubine Ning would assassinate Murong Che, and they screamed in fear.
At this time, Wang Defa had already led two eunuchs with extraordinary skills to subdue Concubine Ning.
"I am sorry for being late in coming to your rescue, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Murong Che looked at Wang Defa who was still struggling with Concubine Ning and waved his hand impatiently, "Concubine Ning is committing treason, and she shall be put to death immediately!"
Concubine Ning stared at Murong Che, "You dog emperor! If I can't kill you today, I won't let you go even if I turn into a fierce ghost someday... ugh!"
Wang Defa found out that Concubine Ning dared to say such treasonous words in front of the emperor, so he took a quick decision, took off his shoes and stuffed them into her mouth, "Take her away!"
Two eunuchs took Concubine Ning away.
Assassinating the emperor is a serious crime, and Concubine Ning cannot escape death, but Murong Che will not let her die too easily.
When Concubine Ning was dragged away, Noble Qiao and Concubine Chi were both terrified.
Who would have thought that the venomous snake case would lead to an assassination.
They had just spoken out in support of Concubine Ning. If the Emperor blamed them and accused them of conspiracy, not only would they be in big trouble, but their families would also be in trouble!
Now the two men came to their senses and knelt down to apologize to Murong Che.
"Your Majesty! I was deceived by Ning's sweet words just now. I did not intend to target Mr. Xue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Ning is really hateful. She actually wanted to deceive everyone! Thanks to the emperor's wisdom, he saw through Ning's true face and prevented her conspiracy from succeeding!"
If they hadn't said anything, Murong Che would have almost forgotten about these two women who had no sense of existence.
At this moment, Murong Che put his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes and glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "I remember that Mr. Qiao just advised me not to be partial, to deal with it impartially, and not to let everyone present feel disappointed. In this case, how can I let you down?"
"Pass on my oral order. Noble Qiao and Lady Chi are not smart and have behaved improperly. They are demoted to talented ladies and concubines. They are immediately sent back to the capital and confined to their homes for three months!"
Once the emperor opened his mouth, they could only kneel down and express their gratitude.
This also allowed everyone present to see how much Murong Che favored Xue Youli!
Originally, Murong Che brought Qiao Cairen and Chi Cainv to the palace to escape the summer heat because their fathers were capable in the court. If they did not act up and their families were powerful in the future, their status in the harem would naturally rise.
But they were greedy and wanted to take advantage of Concubine Ning's injury to step on Xue Youli to get to the top.
Now that's good, I've been downgraded two levels.
Being abandoned by the emperor, their lives after returning to the palace would not be much better than being banished to the cold palace.
After Murong Che dealt with the two, he said to the Queen Mother who was sitting in the main seat, "Concubine Ning had evil intentions. Your son was not careful for a moment and frightened you."
Empress Dowager Yin was really shocked when Concubine Ning suddenly assassinated the emperor.
However, as the champion of the previous palace fight, she had seen many storms and was able to calm herself down quickly.
"There is such a skilled woman in the harem! I am terrified just thinking about her lurking by your side for so many years!"
Queen Mother Yin paused for a moment and said, "Emperor, please do not sentence Ning to death yet. Send her to the Ministry of Justice for a serious interrogation. You must pry open her mouth and find out who is the mastermind behind this!"
She could not tolerate anyone trying to assassinate the emperor and shake the Murong family's kingdom!
Murong Che knew exactly who was behind Concubine Ning.
However, since the Queen Mother had spoken up herself, Murong Che naturally wanted to listen to her opinion. "Yes, son will do as you say and find out the mastermind as soon as possible."
Queen Mother Yin nodded, then raised her hand and pressed her brow, "I am tired, you all should go back."
"I, your son, am leaving now!"
Yin Xuan'er originally wanted to stay a little longer to cultivate the relationship between aunt and niece with Queen Mother Yin.
Now that this has happened, I guess Queen Mother Yin is no longer in the mood to chat with her.
Anyway, during this period of time, she assisted in managing the affairs of the six palaces without any mistakes, and had accumulated some prestige among the concubines.
Some things cannot be rushed and require long-term consideration.
Thinking of this, Yin Xuan'er followed the crowd.
At this time, Xue Youli was also ready to leave, but was stopped by Chu Xinyue.
She turned her head to look at Chu Xinyue and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xinyue squeezed her eyes and said, "The Queen Mother has a headache. Now's your chance to show off!"
The setting in her novel is that the empress dowager suffers from a headache, and the heroine Xue Qingyao wins the empress dowager's appreciation with her massage skills.
With the Queen Mother's protection, Xue Qingyao successfully climbed from a noble to the position of the Master of the Six Palaces.
Now, if Xue Youli could seize Xue Qingyao's opportunity, then they would be one step closer to changing their destiny!
Xue Youli naturally understood her best friend's hint. She looked at Queen Mother Yin who was massaging her temples and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, I heard that you have a headache. I happened to have read a medical book on the treatment of difficult and complicated diseases. I am willing to recommend myself to treat your headache."
Queen Mother Yin's eyes flickered when she heard this. "Oh? I heard from Concubine Rong that you have good medical skills, but I didn't expect that you can also treat headaches?"
Xue Youli replied, "Before I entered the palace, I treated my mother's chronic illness. However, each patient's condition cannot be generalized. I have to examine your pulse first before I can diagnose whether it can be cured."
Just now, when Empress Dowager Yin saw the scene where Chu Xinyue helped Concubine Ning to rescue Xue Youli, she knew that the two of them had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days in the palace, and they were probably already a pair of bickering lovers.
Chu Xinyue is a little spoiled, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. The fact that she can get along well with Xue Youli shows that Xue Youli is a good person.
Besides, the word "cure" that Xue Youli mentioned was very tempting, and Queen Mother Yin also wanted to completely get rid of the pain of her headache, "Come forward."
"yes."
Xue Youli walked up to Queen Mother Yin and carefully took her pulse.
Queen Mother Yin looked at the solemn expression on her face and her heart tightened, "Mr. Xue, is there any cure for my headache?"
