Because a palace maid actually put a dagger to her neck.
Wei Yaer recognized it; it was what she brought.
Wei Yaer's face turned pale and her back felt cold. She thought that apart from Cui Hong and the few people she knew, there should be no one related to the eldest princess in the palace, but she didn't expect that there was still someone.
Then can she still be safe?
But fortunately, the maid was not a personal maid, and when she was talking to Cui Hong in the bath, she had already dismissed the attendants, otherwise...
Princess Yuchang sneered and said, "Wei Yaer, I will only give you three days."
Wei Yaer didn't dare to say anything at this time, "Yes."
Princess Yu glanced at Wei Yaer, with a flash of disdain in her eyes: "Go back, remember what I said."
The maid withdrew the dagger.
Wei Yaer glanced at the palace maid who retreated as if nothing had happened, lowered her eyes and bowed respectfully this time: "I'll take my leave, Princess, take care."
Wei Yaer led her men hurriedly out of the Cining Palace. She looked grim along the way, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After returning to the bedroom, Wei Yaer sat on the couch and remained silent for a long time.
Cui Hong asked cautiously, "My Lady, what should we do next?"
Wei Yaer glanced at Cui Hong and asked her, "Do you know how many people the eldest princess has in this palace?"
Cui Hong shook her head: "I don't know the exact number, but it should be quite a lot."
Wei Yaer reached out and touched her neck which had been pressed by the dagger. The cold touch still made her feel uneasy, but because of this, the emotions hidden in her eyes became more and more turbulent.
"Then tell me everything you know, don't leave out a single word."
There was a murderous look in Wei Yaer's eyes.
Cui Hong felt Wei Yaer's murderous intent, and a flash of panic flashed through her heart, but she soon became firm again and began to tell everything she knew, and also told her about those hidden in the hall.
After hearing this, Wei Yaer was secretly shocked.
It turned out that the eldest princess had buried so many people in the palace, and this was only a small part of what Cui Hong knew.
No wonder the eldest princess sent her into the palace to seduce the emperor!
It seems that the eldest princess had arranged everything long ago, and she needed a tyrant emperor and a seductive concubine to appear, and then she could launch a coup in the name of "clearing the court" to gain the support of court officials and people and realize her ambitions.
And by then, can she, a "demon concubine", still survive?
ruthless!
It’s really cruel!!
Wei Yaer had completely forgotten that she was originally ordered by her master. She only felt that the eldest princess arranged her in and never thought of letting her survive. She was just an insignificant stepping stone.
Wei Yaer, who has tasted the power, would never be willing to accept it.
"Cui Hong, go and help me with a few things right now. Remember, don't let anyone know..."
Wei Yaer asked Cui Hong to come closer and whispered.
That night.
Emperor Wenyuan was very excited by Wei Yaer's service.
Just when he was planning to make love with her, Wei Yaer suddenly looked painful, then covered her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"My dear, what's wrong with you..."
When Emperor Wenyuan saw this situation, he became anxious.
Wei Yaer was wearing translucent gauze, her clothes were half-removed, her hands were covering her chest, and her mouth was stained with blood. No matter how you looked at this scene, there was a kind of beauty and broken beauty of Xishi holding her heart, which made people couldn't help but be amazed and distressed.
"Your Majesty, my chest hurts, it hurts so much..."
After Wei Yaer finished speaking weakly, she fell softly onto Emperor Wenyuan.
When Emperor Wenyuan saw the condition, he angrily shouted, "Imperial Physician, please call in the Imperial Physician!"
The imperial physician arrived soon.
However, after examining her, the imperial physician was horrified: "Your Majesty, the Empress has been poisoned. This poison is very powerful. If we can't find out the specific poison, I'm afraid there's no way to cure it..."
"What do you mean there is no solution? I tell you, if anything happens to Concubine Ya, I will kill you all..." Emperor Wenyuan roared angrily.
The imperial physician and others turned pale with fear.
Just then.
Cui Hong knelt before Emperor Wenyuan and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this servant, this servant, may know who poisoned the Empress."
"You know? Who is it?"
"Yes, it's the eldest princess!"
Emperor Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed a pillow and threw it at Cui Hong. "You are talking nonsense, you lowly slave! How could the princess harm her beloved concubine? How dare you slander the princess? Drag her out and chop her into pieces..."
"His Majesty."
Wei Yaer finally seemed to have the strength to speak. She reached out and grasped Emperor Wenyuan's hand. Her pale face was pitiful. "It has nothing to do with Cui Hong. It's, it's my fault. The princess wants to punish me. I admit it. Don't be angry... cough cough puff..."
After coughing, I spit out blood.
But after she vomited blood, she still managed to finish the rest of the sentence as if insisting: "I, I just don't want to hurt Your Majesty. It's understandable that the princess is angry. Please don't be sad for me. I just want Your Majesty to be well..."
As soon as she finished saying this, Wei Yaer fainted.
It was at this moment that Cui Hong spoke up, crying inconsolably: "Your Majesty, please save the Empress. She just doesn't want to hurt you, that's why the Princess wants her dead. I'm afraid the Princess also had someone poison her."
Emperor Wenyuan asked the imperial physician to look after Wei Yaer, while he asked Cui Hong with a cold face: "What is going on?"
Cui Hong then told what happened in the afternoon.
"Your Majesty, I have been so well cared for by Your Majesty, and I cannot bear to see Her Majesty killed in this way. That is why I have to tell you about the eldest princess. She wants Your Majesty to be deceived and become a tyrant. Then the eldest princess can come out and 'clean up the court'. Then she can make Your Majesty's condition worse, and everything will go smoothly. But Your Majesty does not want to."
"Her Majesty hasn't slept well in a long time. She has been suffering from inner torment. This afternoon, she told me that she wanted to confess to Your Majesty that she would be willing to die as long as Your Majesty is safe."
"But the queen was poisoned tonight. The princess doesn't want the queen to tell the truth."
Cui Hong said boldly, like a loyal servant, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can thoroughly investigate the palace maids in the palace. The one who put the dagger to your Majesty's neck this afternoon was the palace maid who went with you."
Emperor Wenyuan was furious.
Someone was sent to investigate immediately.
Soon, the palace maid was brought before Emperor Wenyuan in the afternoon.
"Are you the eldest princess's man?"
Emperor Wenyuan looked at the palace maid with ordinary face and asked with gloomy eyes.
The palace maid obviously didn't know what was going on, so she naturally wouldn't admit it.
Emperor Wenyuan directly ordered the torture.
The palace maid refused to admit it at first, but finally confessed it when she could no longer bear it. When Emperor Wenyuan heard it, his face turned dark.
"Your Majesty, besides this, there is also..."
Led by Cui Hong, the Qianqing Palace was thoroughly searched, and more than a dozen people were arrested. Under torture, they all confessed. At this time, Emperor Wenyuan's expression was so sad that it was beyond words.
