Chapter 6 The Imperial Concubine 6
Three days later.
Pei Zhiyan went to the pilgrimage hall to handle government affairs.
Not long after he left, Luo Xi slowly opened her eyes, showing no signs of sleepiness.
She sat up.
Hearing the noise, Zhuzhu came in through the door.
"Your Highness, would you like to get up?"
Luo Xi nodded.
An hour later,
Luo Xi has already had breakfast.
She went into the dormitory, sat on the bed, and said to Zhuzhu beside her.
"Zhuzhu, I am still a little sleepy. Go and stand guard outside the door. You don't need to come in unless I call you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, Zhuzhu left.
Luo Xi got off the bed and sat down in front of the dressing table.
She picked up a hairpin, cut her left index finger, and a few drops of blood flowed from her fingertip. She closed her eyes and activated the puppet Gu...
The Prime Minister's Residence.
study.
Today is a day off, so Prime Minister Luo does not need to attend court.
He sat in his study, pondering how to deal with Ning Zhirou and the others.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He closed his eyes, looked up and rubbed his forehead. When he opened his eyes again, his expression had changed.
He stood up, picked up a sword, and walked in the direction of the tracking Gu, which led to a dark room in the study.
He walked a dozen steps further in and saw Ning Zhirou and Song Jingrui bound with iron chains, their bodies covered in wounds.
Upon seeing Prime Minister Luo, Ning Zhirou angrily said, "Where is the Imperial Concubine? I want to see her."
She desperately wanted to know why the Imperial Concubine had sent people to hunt her down. Even if it was for the Emperor's sake, hunting her down would have been enough; why send people to hunt down Song Jingrui as well? Didn't the Imperial Concubine like him?
Prime Minister Luo remained silent. He walked up to them and raised his sword.
Just then, Ning Zhirou noticed that something was wrong with him.
The next second, Prime Minister Luo's sword pierced Ning Zhirou's chest.
Ning Zhirou: !!!
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and after a short while, her head drooped, and she stopped breathing...
Song Jingrui: !!!
Before he could react, a sword pierced his chest...
Prime Minister Luo took out a bottle of corpse-dissolving water from his pocket and poured it directly on the two of them.
Fifteen minutes later, their bodies turned into blood.
He picked up a rag and wiped the blood off the sword, then walked out of the secret chamber...
At that very moment,
A knock came at the door.
A servant said, "Sir, the eldest young master and the second young lady have arrived."
Prime Minister Luo paused slightly, then said, "Let them in."
"Yes, sir."
Then, the door opened.
Luo Yao and Luo Yan seemed to smell blood. They thought that someone had angered Prime Minister Luo and had been killed by him.
They didn't think much of it, after all, they were just servants. They walked in without changing their expressions and bowed to Prime Minister Luo.
Prime Minister Luo did not let them get up. He walked to their side, quickly raised his sword, and first struck Luo Yao in the chest.
Just as Luo Yan was about to scream, her chest was pierced in the next instant.
They lay on the ground, lifeless...
The door was open, and the servants guarding it saw what happened. They ran and shouted as they went; if they hadn't run and shouted, they probably would have been killed.
"The Prime Minister killed the eldest son and the second young lady..."
Prime Minister Luo ignored them. He set his study ablaze, then held his sword to his own neck, slashed hard, and blood splattered from his neck. A moment later, he collapsed to the ground, sword and all, lifeless...
In the palace,
Luo Xi weakly opened her eyes. Her face was very pale. She leaned on the dressing table, sat in a chair for a while to recover, and then slowly walked to the bed. She lay down, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep...
At noon, Pei Zhiyan returned to Yuqiong Palace.
"Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress has gone to her bedchamber to rest after breakfast and has not yet woken up."
Pei Zhiyan: !!
He strode into the bedchamber.
Inside the sleeping quarters.
"Summon the imperial physician."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhu, who was outside the door, was startled, thinking that something had happened to the Empress. She quickly ran to the Imperial Hospital.
Pei Zhiyan sat on the edge of the bed, his expression serious.
He stared at Luo Xi's pale face, then looked at her small hand in his palm; there was a small wound on her left index finger.
He looked around, and suddenly his gaze fell on the dressing table, where a magnolia hairpin lay, its tip stained with blood...
