Chapter 26: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 26

Aunt Qiao rolled her eyes at Mo Liyuan, held down his fumbling hands and said, "Eunuch Ma, tell me quickly, what happened to Concubine Mei?"

After Aunt Qiao urged him, Ma De became alert again. "This morning, Mei Jieyu somehow managed to evade the guards and escape from the cold palace."

"Then he hid at the gate of Hanbok Palace, and when Concubine Xian came out, he sprinkled a handful of medicine powder on her."

Aunt Qiao blinked her eyes, opened her mouth and said, "Is that all?"

Mad shook his head in confusion, "It's gone."

Aunt Qiao was so angry that smoke was coming out of her nose. "What is the powder for? You haven't told me yet."

Mo Liyuan held his forehead in silence, pulled the excited Qiao Jinjin over and comforted her, "Don't worry, my dear, we will go and take a look later."

Only then did Aunt Qiao stop.

An hour had passed when the two arrived at Xianfu Palace. They had already removed their disguises and taken a bath.

The Xianfu Palace was brightly lit with candles at this time, and Concubine Xian's wails could be heard from a long distance away, frightening Aunt Qiao so much that she got goose bumps all over her body.

Concubine Xian was lying on the bed, gently covering her cheeks, her face twisted in pain. "Get out of here, everyone! Get out!"

Zhu Er took the handkerchief and carefully touched Concubine Xian's forehead. "My queen, please apply a cold handkerchief."

Concubine Xian pushed her away and said, "You bitch, can't you be gentler? Where's the imperial physician? The medicine he prescribed doesn't work."

Zhu Er shook her body and knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. "My queen, the imperial physician said this is poison. The person who made the poison must tell me the prescription to detoxify it."

Concubine Xian widened her eyes and gritted her teeth, "Where is that bitch Mei Jieyu? Let her tell us the poison recipe!"

"Madam" Zhu Er's face turned even paler. "Mei Jieyu has been... has been... beaten to death with sticks."

"What?" Concubine Xian was in disbelief. "Didn't I tell her to leave her alive? You piece of shit, how could you have beaten her to death?"

"I didn't expect that Concubine Mei was so weak. She died in just a few moments."

"The Emperor Arrives"

"The Empress Yuan has arrived"

When Jin Jin Qiao and Mo Liyuan came in, Concubine Xian had already covered herself with a quilt.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

A muffled sound came from under the quilt. Mo Liyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing? Show your face."

The quilt shook noticeably. "I am disrespectful and cannot see the emperor."

Aunt Qiao didn't want to waste time with Concubine Xian, so she said straight to the point, "It seems that Concubine Mei really hates Concubine Xian."

"That's right. After all, Concubine Xian used the poison she made to poison me."

"In the end, Concubine Xian pushed it all away."

Concubine Xian suddenly threw back the quilt and sat up, exposing her face full of pus-filled lumps. She stared at Aunt Qiao angrily and said, "You know everything, and the emperor knows everything too. You all are here to laugh at me."

"You are very proud of my current state, right?"

After saying that, she looked at Mo Liyuan with tears in her eyes and said, "I have been with you for so many years. Apart from having a pretty face, what else does this bitch have that is worthy of your favoritism?"

Mo Liyuan frowned and covered Aunt Qiao's eyes. It was really disgusting.

"She has been with me for so many years but has killed many people. Mei Jieyu is just one of them. She is really vicious."

"Is your concubine vicious?"

"Hahaha, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."

"They hinder my path, so they deserve to die."

Concubine Xian knew that she had lost her looks and had no chance of winning, so she gave up hope.

Aunt Qiao pulled Mo Liyuan's hand away, shook her head and said, "Is Concubine Mei also blocking your way?"

Concubine Xian's eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for me, how could she have sat in the position of Concubine? Can't she do something for me?"

Qiao Jinjin shrugged, feeling that she couldn't make sense with Concubine Xian. "Your Majesty, you should solve this problem. I'll wait at the door for a while. It's too boring."

Jin Ling supported Qiao Jinjin and asked worriedly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Aunt Qiao took a deep breath and shook her head. "No, that's not the case. Concubine Mei's powder is really powerful. Look at Concubine Xian's face, it's so rotten that it's unbearable to look at. The smell is too pungent. It makes me feel sick."

Not long after Aunt Qiao waited, Mo Liyuan came out and took a deep breath like Aunt Qiao.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiao couldn't help laughing, "Since Your Majesty didn't change his expression, I thought you didn't smell anything."

Mo Liyuan walked over, took Jinjin Qiao's hand and walked towards the outside of Xianfu Palace.

"I have ordered Concubine Xian not to leave the Xianfu Palace from now on. I just asked the imperial physician, and he said that if the poison in Concubine Xian is not cured, she will not live for more than a few months."

Aunt Qiao lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Since she won't live for a few more months, just lock her up in Xianfu Palace and don't let her come out to harm others again."

Mo Liyuan looked at Jinjin Qiao deeply. What he didn't say was that sooner or later he would get rid of all the women in the palace and leave only Jinjin.

Yong'an Palace

Concubine Liu stood at the window with sorrow in her eyes, looking at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.

"My lady, please go to bed early."

Concubine Liu shook her head gently and said, "I can't sleep."

Zuo'er's eyes were filled with distress. He pursed his lips and said, "Are you sad about what Concubine Yu Guifei said during the day?"

"It's not that I'm sad," Concubine Liu pursed her lips and forced a smile. "I've known for a long time that the emperor is not just for me. Now that the emperor has a beloved concubine, it's normal for him to ignore me."

"What Concubine Yu Gui said today was nothing more than an attempt to make me hate Concubine Yuan."

"But Zuo'er," Concubine Liu turned around and looked at Zuo'er and said, "I really don't want to get involved in the intrigues with the women in the palace. Instead, I want to go outside the palace and live the life of an ordinary person."

"Niangniang"

Zuo'er has followed Concubine Liu since she was a child. She knows that her queen has always had someone in her heart, and that is the young general Zhao Yuanen, because Zhao Yuanen once saved her life. But before she had the chance to express her feelings, she was sent to the palace.

"Zuo'er, you don't need to persuade me. I have already figured it out. If there is a chance, I will definitely leave the palace."

Time flies and it is April. Aunt Qiao is now four months pregnant and her belly has a slight curve.

On this day, Aunt Qiao was talking with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace when a noise came in from outside the door.

The Queen Mother frowned, and said with some anger in her tone, "Mammy, go and see what's going on. Auntie is pregnant, don't scare her."

Aunt Liu nodded and walked out hurriedly.

After a while, Nanny Liu came back, but her face looked unhappy.

"What happened?"

When Aunt Liu heard the Queen Mother's question, she did not dare to delay and quickly said, "Queen Mother, it is Concubine Xian's maid Zhu'er."

"Xianfei?" Hearing that this was the culprit who had tried to poison Qiao Jinjin, the Queen Mother immediately lost her good face. "What is her maid doing in my Cining Palace?"

"Zhu Er said... Concubine Xian passed away."

"Hmm?" Aunt Qiao raised her eyebrows. "Mammy, this virtuous concubine shouldn't have died so soon."

Madam Liu pursed her lips and said, "It is indeed not a normal death from poison. Concubine Xian couldn't bear it and hanged herself."
