Chapter 66: Strangled to death by Fang Guiren

When the imperial physician saw Consort Chen Guifei coming, he hurried forward and bowed: "To reply to your majesty, it is not possible."

Concubine Chen thought for a long time, and finally said, "Please ask Imperial Physician Lin to move over."

He took Doctor Lin to a deserted place and asked, "What's going on?"

Doctor Lin knew that this matter was of great importance, and said in a serious tone: "Cui Daying's injuries look like he was hanged, and as for the noble lady Fang, she probably committed suicide."

Concubine Chen nodded, and then warned: "This matter must not be spread to others."

Doctor Lin had been in the palace for a long time, so he knew what to do, so he said, "Today, I saw that the two ladies seemed to have eaten something wrong, and they called the doctor too late, so..."

Concubine Chen nodded, very satisfied with the answer, and ordered Jinxin to reward Imperial Physician Lin and send him away.

"Jinxin, go call Bai Wei." Bai Zhi was not rational at the moment, so it was impossible to talk to her.

Lu Xingwan, who was held in Jinyu's arms, couldn't help but sigh.

[Life is unpredictable. The woman who had been so powerful in the novel had ended up like this. She was strangled to death by a nobleman. This death was extremely disgraceful.]

【Speaking of which, she has harmed countless people, so she deserves it.】

[But when she really died in front of me, I didn’t feel that much anger anymore.]

[Ah, it seems that I am still too kind. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei then realized that she had just let Wanwan witness the death of those two men, and she hurriedly stepped forward to cover Lu Xingwan's eyes.

Jinyu was helpless: "My queen, the princess has already seen it."

Concubine Chen put down her hands helplessly and sighed, "What a neglect! I was used to it and forgot that Wanwan is still a little kid."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

[It's okay, mother. I'm used to it. I've been on the battlefield with my master before.]

"Your Highness." As they were talking, Bai Wei was brought over by Jin Xin. Although Bai Wei was sad, she still retained some rationality.

"You and Baizhi are loyal," Concubine Chen couldn't help but sigh, "What happened today?"

Bai Wei could not help but kneel down: "Before dawn today, that noble lady Fang suddenly came to our queen's palace and said that she had something important to discuss with her."

"I thought that the queen was asleep, so I asked Concubine Fang to come back in the morning. But Concubine Fang refused to give in and started making a loud noise, waking up our queen."

"The Queen treated Concubine Fang very well. Not only did she send some bedding and other things, she also brought Concubine Fang some food. So she stopped talking and opened the door to let Concubine Fang in."

"That noble lady said she had something important to discuss and would not let us in. The queen agreed, but she never expected this to happen..."

As Bai Wei spoke, she also cried bitterly.

Concubine Chen then asked Jinxin to take Bai Wei away, and ordered to bring Xiangyun, who served Concubine Fang, over.

As soon as Xiangyun entered the palace, she knelt at the feet of Concubine Chen and kowtowed fiercely: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen, this is none of my business. I really know nothing about this matter."

Jin Xin hurriedly helped Xiang Yun up and said, "Her Majesty has no intention of blaming you. You just need to tell Her Majesty everything you know."

Xiangyun then started to cry and said, "Since our young master moved to Puwen Hall, Cui Danying has been trying to please her, giving her gifts and often coming to the hall to chat. But our young master always asked me to serve her outside, so I don't know what they talked about."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but complain.

[What this little palace maid said is quite interesting. Even though Concubine De is down and out now, she still has princes and princesses by her side. Does she still need to curry favor with your master? ]

[What is that word called? What is it called? Oh, yes, pull it. ]

[But why would this Concubine De want to take a noble lady with her? What good would it do for her?]

Concubine Chen couldn't help but think deeply. Given Concubine De's personality, she would look down on a small figure like Concubine Fang. So why would she want to pull her along?

Xiangyun continued, "This happened last night. Our young master did not sleep for almost the entire night. I could hear her tossing and turning from outside. When it was almost dawn, she got up and insisted on going to see the Empress Defei. I tried to persuade her several times but to no avail."

"This time, the young lady still did not allow me to follow her in, but I did not expect... it would be like this."

"Who discovered it first?" Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but ask.

"Ah," Na Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, then she realized what Concubine Chen was asking about. "It was almost dawn, and Bai Wei, who was beside Cui Danying, said that she heard that the two young ladies were not moving, so she wanted to go in to get some tea. When she opened the door, she found Cui Danying lying on the ground and our young lady hanging from the beam, and then..."

Jinyu, who was standing by, was also fascinated by what was happening and asked, "How come no one of you heard anything?"

Xiangyun shook her head hurriedly: "Usually, the two young ladies always told us to stay far away from them, so it's the same today."

After Xiangyun finished speaking, the room fell silent.

[Wow, it's a big drama. On a dark and windy night, when they were robbing each other of money and life, why did this noble lady kill Concubine De? Could it be that she couldn't stand her showing off in front of her? ]

"Did you not hear what Noble Lady Fang said to Concubine De before?" Concubine Chen thought for a long time before speaking. This matter was indeed unbelievable.

Xiangyun thought about it, as if she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Concubine Chen again, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jin Xin was naturally not used to seeing her like this, so she quickly urged, "Just tell me what you know!"

"Yes, yes." Xiangyun no longer had her master's protection, so she naturally had to try to please Concubine Chen Gui. However, before she spoke, she bowed her head heavily and said, "I'm afraid that what I said may be disrespectful to Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

"Just tell me what you mean. I won't punish you."

Xiangyun then continued, "That day, when the Third Prince came, he brought some things to Cui Danying, who then gave some to our young master. Cui Danying said that when he leaves Puwen Hall in the future, he will definitely plead for our young master, and he also said... and he also said..."

Xiangyun said this and timidly glanced at Concubine Chen. Seeing that she was looking at her, she took a breath and continued, "It is said that our young lady and her unborn baby are the sacrifices of the fight between Concubine Chen and Noble Yun. They don't care whether our young lady lives or dies."

"That time, I did persuade the young lady, but after that, every time Cui Da Ying came, he would chase me away."

After Xiangyun finished speaking, she bowed deeply and knelt on the ground.

After hearing this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but look up at Jinyu and Jinxin who were standing beside her. The master and servant remained silent.
