Chapter 373 Concubine Shu was assassinated
"My Lady, are you okay?"
The palace maids helped up the depressed and silent Concubine Shu.
Only then did everyone remember that there was such a person as Concubine Shu.
Just now, Princess Mingzhu was beaten up by Lord Xiaojiu, but she didn't even say a word.
"Isn't the Concubine Shu sad?"
"It's definitely sad! Whether it's a lucky star or a cursed star, they're all flesh that fell from her body! I don't know which one to help!"
"And as a mother, she must feel guilty for mistaking Lucky Star for Unlucky Star, right?"
Everyone was discussing this when Concubine Shu asked anxiously, "Where is Mingzhu? Is my Mingzhu okay? Mingzhu must not be in any danger!"
Fan Jie Qiang, who had just walked over, stopped.
If he hadn't known that his sister hated the emperor's blood, he would have really been fooled by her at this moment. Sure enough, the women in the palace were all good at acting.
"Empress." Because there were palace maids around, Fan Jie Qiang didn't call her sister.
"Brother." Concubine Shu wiped her tears, "You should return to the capital with me!"
Fan Jieqiang walked forward and whispered, "Sister, let me introduce someone to you."
Fan Jieqiang always loved making friends, so Concubine Shu forced herself to say perfunctorily, "Today is not suitable, let's wait for next time."
"Sister, you should meet her!" Fan Jie Qiang couldn't hide his joy, "She is my brother's ideal girl!"
Concubine Shu was a little surprised. "Do you have a crush on someone? Every time I asked you before, you said no."
"It wasn't meant to be then." Fan Jieqiang said with a smile, "Sister, please wait a moment. I'll bring her over right away!"
Meanwhile, Zhou Huaining covered his chest with his hands and stared at Ying Yan with red eyes, "Who told me before that I would have to live as a man for the rest of my life? So it was just to trick me?"
Ying Yan's gaze fell on Fan Jieqiang in the distance, and she said absentmindedly, "Can you please stop asking! Is it not okay for me to suddenly want to be a woman?"
Zhou Huaining's eyes were filled with tears, and he said hurtly: "Yes, why should I question you? There is no relationship between us at all... It has always been my wishful thinking. You have never liked me. You even said that we can't even be friends..."
"It's just..." Zhou Huaining felt a surge of bitterness in his heart. "Why him? How long have you known each other? How exactly is he better than me?"
I don't even want to be a dude anymore.
I even fantasize about having lots of kids with you...
Yingyan turned her head and her eyes fell gently on his face.
This was the first time she looked at him so carefully and attentively.
Zhou Huaining suddenly felt some hope in his heart.
"sorry."
But Ying Yan said these three words.
Zhou Huaining felt a chill in his heart and his body swayed.
"Forget me, I don't deserve you."
"Ayan, Ayan!" Fan Jieqiang ran over excitedly, "Come on, I'll take you to see my sister!"
"Ayan, why are your eyes red?"
"Really?" Ying Yan smiled, "Maybe there's sand in your eyes. Let's go and see the Concubine Shu!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Huaining stopped Ying Yan, "Why are you crying? Do you have any difficulties?"
Ying Yan looked up, her face expressionless: "Mr. Zhou, let's not talk about the fact that I didn't cry at all! Even if I did, it has nothing to do with you! Are we familiar with each other? The person I like is Mr. Fan, what on earth are you expecting!"
Fan Jie Qiang said unhappily, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you? You have no sense of propriety today! If you look at Ah Yan with such a clingy gaze again, I will really get angry!"
"Let's go. They're just strangers, why get angry?" Ying Yan said with a gentle smile, "Paying a visit to Her Majesty the Concubine is more important!"
Fan Jieqiang nodded, "Yes, my sister is waiting!"
The two walked away.
Zhou Huaining's heart was broken into pieces. He leaned against the city wall in a daze and slowly squatted in the corner.
With a click, a pair of sharp claws appeared before my eyes.
Zhou Huaining looked up and met the sharp beak of the white falcon.
He didn't feel scared anymore.
"Brother Bird, I disappoint you."
Zhou Huaining hugged Bai Hu's neck with tears in his eyes, burying his face in the feathers in pain, "I'm useless. She was... taken away by someone else."
…
"Sister, she is A Yan, the girl I like!" Fan Jie Qiang's face turned red with joy.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu." Yingyan bowed her head and knelt in worship.
Concubine Shu looked at her carefully and thought that the girl's voice was not affected at all and her manners were graceful. She did not look like a girl of improper character.
But how could a girl like this follow Fan Jie Qiang out without permission?
"Get up!"
As soon as Concubine Shu spoke, Fan Jie Qiang immediately helped Ying Yan up.
Ying Yan blushed and lowered her head, "Empress Shufei, it's truly providential that I could meet Master Fan this time. A Yan originally wanted to leave the capital with my brother, but we ran into a large number of peasant soldiers on the road and accidentally got separated from him. Fortunately, we met Master Fan. My brother should be here soon, and I'll have to trouble Master Fan to help find him when he arrives."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Fan Jie Qiang said with a smile.
Concubine Shu's doubts were dispelled. "Come forward and let me take a good look."
"yes."
Yingyan took two steps and then stopped.
Concubine Shu laughed and said, "I don't eat people. How can I see you from such a distance?"
Ying Yan said embarrassedly, "Ayan's appearance is ugly, I'm afraid it will offend the queen."
"My brother is very picky. How could the girl he likes be so ugly? Come here quickly!"
"Yes." Yingyan walked over and slowly raised her head.
When that face appeared in front of Concubine Shu, her expression changed drastically, "You...you...look like..."
"What's wrong, my queen? What's wrong with Ayan?" Yingyan said with a smile.
“Ayan…Ayan…”
Concubine Shu pulled her aside and held her face in her hands eagerly. "Tell me quickly? How old are you? What's your last name?"
"Why does your Majesty ask these questions?"
"These are very important to me! Please answer quickly!" Concubine Shu's voice was trembling.
"Sister?" Fan Jie Qiang felt something was wrong with Concubine Shu and wanted to come forward but was stopped by her.
Yingyan smiled, "Ayan didn't expect Concubine Shu to be so enthusiastic. Now that we are so close, it's absolutely safe!"
With a "puff" sound.
The dagger hidden in the sleeve pierced deeply into Concubine Shu's chest.
Shufei screamed in pain, looked at Yingyan in disbelief, and her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yingyan's hands were covered in blood, and she laughed out loud, "Fan Jingrong! I can tell you now! My last name is Xia! Xia as in summer! It's been ten years, I've been waiting for this day! God has mercy on me, and I've finally gotten my revenge!"
It all happened so suddenly.
The palace maids came to their senses and shouted in panic:
"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin!"
"The Concubine Shu has been assassinated! Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician, come quickly!"
