She sobbed silently, swallowing each bite as if feeling wronged and sad.
"I know Rou'er loves to be beautiful. After eating, just take a nap."
Her voice was gentle and charming. Jin Rou pursed her lips. If she hadn't known that there was poison in this thing, someone would have thought that Gu Yunchu was really kind.
"Then don't forget the paper figurine you promised to burn for me!"
Gu Yunchu laughed a little, "There will be paper figurines... But every sister must bear the brunt of the knife that Pei Lu deserves!"
"I've already said hello to the Black and White Impermanence. After Rou'er falls asleep, come find me!"
Jin Rou ignored Gu Yunchu. What about the Black and White Impermanence who came to find her? She thought she was the King of Hell! She spoke so mysteriously!
Gu Yunchu knew that she didn't believe it, so he quietly placed a soul-guiding lamp on her head. When the soul-guiding lamp touched Jin Rou, it instantly turned into a white light and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Yunchu picked up the oil-paper bag on the ground and walked out. Just as she reached the dungeon door, she heard someone behind her shouting, "Concubine Rou committed suicide!"
Gu Yunchu paused, his eyes lowered and his emotions could not be seen.
She held on to the wall for a while before she continued walking back.
But when she raised her eyes, she saw the red palace wall again.
Inside Fanghua Palace.
Pei Lu and An Ning were still clinging to each other when suddenly she smelled a rotten smell and couldn't help feeling nauseous.
She turned her head away, covering her mouth and retching.
Pei Lu hurried over to comfort her, "Ning'er, what's wrong?"
As Pei Lu got closer, the smell of decay became stronger.
"Alu, don't you smell something?"
She pinched her nose and felt better. Pei Lu lifted his sleeve and smelled his armpit. There was a scent of peony flowers. How could it be the strange smell that An Ning said?
"Ning'er, is your sense of smell becoming extra sensitive because of your pregnancy? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
An Ning pinched her nose, but even with that pinched nose, the disgusting smell still came over: "Alu, that... that's the smell of your body! It's like the smell of rotten meat!"
An Ning didn't want to say it, because it was the smell on Pei Lu's body that caused the conflict between them last time. But if she didn't say it, Pei Lu would get closer, and the smell made her feel really uncomfortable.
Because she was pinching her nose, she could only breathe through her mouth. Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, but her whole face was abnormally red.
Pei Lu was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up, shook himself, and asked the palace maid next to him: "You, come here and smell the scent of me!"
The palace maid trembled and subconsciously wanted to ask An Ning's consent, but An Ning was annoyed at the moment and did not see the palace maid's eyes.
The palace maid had no choice but to tremble as she leaned forward to smell it.
Just with this one sniff, her eyes widened instantly. The peony fragrance on His Majesty was truly alluring. She had never smelled such a sweet fragrance before.
"Your Majesty..." Her voice was trembling and filled with tears. If she disagreed with what the Queen said, she would be punished after the Queen left. But if she didn't tell the truth, then... wouldn't that be the crime of deceiving the emperor?
Pei Lu's displeasure was clearly visible on his face, and he sternly scolded the maid: "I just asked you to smell it, why are you hesitating so much?!"
After being yelled at by Pei Lu, the maid dared not to tell the truth. She closed her eyes and said with a face ready to die: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty smells like a beautiful peony."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground, not daring to look at An Ning at all.
At this moment, a eunuch shouted shrilly from outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Concubine Rou committed suicide in the dungeon!"
Pei Lu quickly stood up and hurried towards the dungeon.
The palace maid kneeling on the ground felt a cold gaze and her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, she was pressed to the ground.
An Ning closed her eyes lightly, as if she didn't want to even give her a glance.
Just like that, Fanghua Palace fell into silence, with only the sound of the palace maid's heart beating violently due to fear on the ground.
Only then did An Ning get down from the couch. She tightly grasped the maid's chin and thought for a moment before speaking: "She does look a bit like a foxy woman~"
The strength of her hands grew stronger and stronger, causing the palace maid so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes.
"You said His Majesty has the scent of peonies? Why can't I smell it?! Are you, a lowly thing, trying to seduce my A-lu?!"
"Do you have a good nose?!"
Because of the pain, a few drops of saliva flowed from the corners of the palace maid's mouth, all of which dripped onto An Ning's hands.
She frowned and slapped the palace maid without saying a word.
"Since your nose is so sensitive, come here! Give me the nose-cutting punishment!"
She wiped her fingers gently, her tone cold.
The palace maid opened her eyes wide in fear and struggled to break free from the restraints of the people around her: "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"
"I absolutely do not have any intention of seducing Your Majesty! I really don't!"
She crawled to An Ning's feet and kowtowed for mercy, but An Ning just kicked her out: "Hmph, you vile thing!"
Soon the palace maid was pinned down again, and the only sounds in the entire palace were the maid's miserable cries and An Ning's smug smile.
No one, no one can snatch A Lu from her, no one!
When Pei Lu arrived at the dungeon, he saw Concubine Rou who had "committed suicide".
But before he could do anything, he heard panicked sounds outside again.
"Oh no! Your Majesty! Oh no!"
Pei Lu rubbed his temples with a headache. What a bunch of trash!
I knew it was bad! If it was bad, wouldn’t you solve it?!
How big a problem does it have to be for him to solve?!
"What's up?!"
He gritted his teeth, and for some reason he started to go crazy.
"Prime Minister Lin and many ministers have come to respectfully request that Your Majesty kill the Imperial Noble Consort!"
Killed...Gu Yunchu?
"Go to the Imperial Study!"
There were more than a dozen ministers kneeling outside the imperial study. Pei Lu took a step forward and felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surrounded by more than a dozen officials, both civil and military, and all of them held a sharp knife in their hands.
Who gave them the courage to carry a knife forward?
He shook his body, but found that he couldn't move at all. What...what was going on?!
Without exception, those ministers who were armed with knives raised their knives and chopped towards his head.
How dare you! Who gave you permission to do this?! I will kill your entire clan!
But he found that not only could he not move, he couldn't even make a sound.
No! No!
He can't die!
He is the emperor!
In a trance, he seemed to hear a familiar female voice.
"Prime Minister Lin is so bold that he actually forced His Majesty into this state~"
