Concubine Zhao was lying unconscious on the bed. The blood from her body had not stopped flowing yet. It flowed from the bed to the ground, forming a pool. It made it almost impossible for Emperor Xianzong to find a place to stand beside the bed.
Several maids were kneeling in a pool of blood. When they saw Xianzong coming, the sobbing sounds suddenly turned into crying.
A maid kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, please save the queen!"
When Emperor Xianzong saw Concubine Zhao's appearance, he was dumbfounded and shouted to the imperial physician, "Where is the imperial physician? What's wrong with Concubine Zhao?"
There were seven or eight imperial doctors standing in Concubine Zhao's bedroom, all of them were experts in medicine. They could tell the details of Concubine Zhao's illness by just taking a few glances and feeling her pulse, but none of them were willing to stand up and answer Emperor Xianzong's questions. Someone who could attack Concubine Zhao and succeed was not someone they could afford to offend. Now the Zhao family and Concubine Zhao were obviously disliked by Emperor Xianzong. At this time, no imperial doctor would offend a big Buddha for a Concubine Zhao whose future was uncertain.
When Xianzong saw that no imperial physician responded to his question, he became even more furious and shouted, "Are you all mute?!"
Yu Xiaoxiao stood impatiently on the side, walked forward and lifted the quilt covering Concubine Zhao, saying, "Let me see."
After the brocade quilt was lifted, the bloody smell that was originally covered by the quilt suddenly came out. The strong smell of blood made Xianzong stagger where he stood.
Jingzhong immediately supported Xianzong and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Xianzong was so choked by the smell of blood that he couldn't breathe. He was about to ask the imperial doctors to come over and treat Concubine Zhao, when he saw his daughter pulling down Concubine Zhao's pants. "Linglong, what are you doing?!" Xianzong shouted at Yu Xiaoxiao. It would be fine if there were only eunuchs in the room, but there were also quite a few imperial doctors standing here! Letting Concubine Zhao get naked in front of all these people, how could she survive?
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Xianzong, looking impatient, and said, "If I don't take off her pants, how can I know where she is injured?"
Jingzhong and the maids who served Concubine Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoxiao with a bit of fear in their eyes. Was this person trying to take this opportunity to force Concubine Zhao to death? Why was the eldest princess's killing method so vicious? She didn't even leave Concubine Zhao with a clean name until her death?
The imperial doctors all looked down at their toes. They didn't dare to look at the emperor's women with clothes on, and they were even more afraid to look at them when they were undressed.
Xianzong shouted to Yu Xiaoxiao: "There are outsiders here!"
Yu Xiaoxiao sneered. She was almost dead, why would she care about a stranger? With a swish, Her Royal Highness took off Concubine Zhao's underwear.
Several maids rushed over to Concubine Zhao. They couldn't let anyone see Concubine Zhao's naked body!
Xianzong was trembling and unable to speak.
The air in the bedroom seemed to be stagnant, and everyone in the room was silent. Only Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Zhao's lower body as if nothing had happened, and said to Emperor Xianzong, "There is no external injury, and it's not a miscarriage. Does she have some gynecological disease?"
Xianzong trembled for a long time before he found his voice again, and yelled at his daughter: "Where is your brain? How could she get hurt while staying in the imperial palace?!"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xianzong strangely and said meaningfully, "Don't bully me because I'm not well-educated. If I stay in the palace, she won't get hurt. What if you get too excited?"
"No, ah, I, you," Xianzong spoke incoherently.
Everyone tried to shrink their bodies into the ground. After hearing this conversation, would the emperor kill them all?
Yu Xiaoxiao took another look at Concubine Zhao's bleeding body and said, "If the bleeding can't be stopped, she will die, right?"
Xianzong didn't dare to look at his beloved concubine's body at all. He turned around and looked at the doctors with a heavy breath and said, "Are you just going to watch? Watch Concubine Zhao die?!"
The imperial doctors remained silent with their heads down, all hoping that their colleagues would answer Xianzong's question.
"You say!" Xianzong pointed at an imperial physician and said.
The imperial physician who was named could no longer pretend that he did not exist. He knelt down before Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, we have already given medicine to Concubine Zhao, but her illness is so severe that medicine is useless."
Xianzong's heart tightened. Does this mean that Concubine Zhao is beyond saving?
Yu Xiaoxiao said with a rising tone, "Is this woman finally going to die?"
"Your Majesty," a eunuch's voice sounded outside the bedroom, saying, "Empress Hua, Empress Rong, Empress Ming..."
"What are they doing here?" Xianzong interrupted the eunuch angrily and said, "Let them go back."
"Your Majesty."
"Get out of here!" Emperor Xianzong saw that he had told the concubines to go back, but the eunuch still wanted to say something, so he shouted angrily.
There was silence outside the bedroom for a while, and the eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Master Fenglin of the Eternal Life Temple wishes to see you."
"What?" Xianzong didn't believe what he heard.
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. What was Wen Fenglin doing here in front of Concubine Zhao?
"Your Majesty," the eunuch outside the bedroom repeated his words again, "Young Master Fenglin of the Eternal Life Temple requests an audience."
Xianzong turned his head to look at Concubine Zhao who was unconscious on the bed, and walked out the door with his hands behind his back, saying, "Please come in, Master."
Yu Xiaoxiao also looked at Concubine Zhao. She didn't remember any connection between Wen Fenglin and Concubine Zhao. During the time of the Cruel Empress, the two of them had never even spoken to each other. Now it was her turn. When she wasn't paying attention, the two of them had become good friends?
The maids who served Concubine Zhao carefully protected her, fearing that the princess would suddenly kill someone. Everyone in the palace now knew that the princess was a martial arts expert, and killing people was as easy as killing a dog. No matter how many Concubines Zhao there were, they would not be enough for the princess to kill.
"There's not even any good hemostatic medicine." Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the blood flowing from Concubine Zhao's body, shook her head, and muttered softly, "I really can't play with it."
The maids stared blankly at the princess walking out of the bedroom. Could anyone explain to them what the princess meant by not being able to play? Was it because she thought the death of Concubine Zhao was tragic enough?
When Yu Xiaoxiao left the dormitory, Emperor Xianzong was standing in the corridor waiting for Master Fenglin. When he saw Yu Xiaoxiao coming out, he couldn't help but ask, "What does Master want to see me for?"
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Xianzong, "How would I know this?"
Xianzong looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, and suddenly he didn't even have the energy to be angry.
Yu Xiaoxiao thought that the emperor must be sad, so she comforted Xianzong and said, "Even though one Concubine Zhao died, you still have tens of millions of Concubines Zhao. Don't be sad. How about you make a better urn for her?"
Urn?
Everyone in the courtyard, including Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, had their hair standing on end. How much did Her Royal Highness the Princess hate Concubine Zhao that she didn't even want to leave her a complete corpse!
