"Master, the hidden clue is that the Empress Dowager has been in there for a quarter of an hour, and has dismissed all the palace servants. Now, she is alone with the Emperor in the Imperial Study."
In a hidden corner of the palace near the imperial study, Ming An stepped forward to report.
Pei Yuqing was wearing a dark brocade robe with python pattern. He had feminine and cold sharp eyes. He stared coldly in the direction of the imperial study. His deep eyebrows were shrouded in horror and coldness, and his evil eyebrows moved slightly.
"Send someone to bring the two concubines to the Imperial Study. Do not reveal that the Empress Dowager is present. Simply say that a young lady from a noble family has a private meeting with the Emperor."
Once they knew it was the Empress Dowager, the two concubines would not be stupid enough to offend the Emperor and the General's Mansion all at once.
But if she was just a young lady from an aristocratic family, the two imperial concubines would probably come unwillingly.
Ming'an nodded.
"yes!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Pei Yuqing looked at the brightly lit imperial study, his eyes dimmed, his eyebrows narrow and evil, and he twisted the cold jade ring on his index finger with his right thumb.
Xiao Luochen, Saint Charm...
…
In the study.
I saw a dagger stuck in Sheng Wu's left chest. Her crimson clothes were instantly stained with blood, becoming brighter red. Even the faint white arc was glaringly stained with blood.
Sheng Wu's hand was still on the hilt of the dagger. Obviously, she was stabbing herself.
"you!"
Xiao Luochen was a little stunned by her action.
"Just now... the wine I poured for you is the antidote to my seductive fragrance."
Sheng Wu's narrow and charming eyebrows curved, and she smiled softly with a hint of cunning. She looked innocent and pure, without any trace of the vicious look she had just now.
"It's a pity that you don't believe me. You never believed me."
As she spoke, her charming face was filled with a broken, desperate smile.
"So, you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen's pupils trembled, and he suddenly remembered the wine she passed into his mouth when she kissed him just now.
Misty water slowly overflowed from Shengwu's beautiful eyes, but she still forced a smile.
"I know you don't like me. You just need an obedient princess who can help you consolidate your power. Even if I married the late emperor, you would just frown. I know everything."
"But, what can I do? I still like you so much."
Xiao Luochen frowned, his eyes dark.
Blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Sheng Wu's lips, her fair face turned pale, tears slowly formed at the corners of her eyes, extending to the cinnabar teardrop mole. Her beautiful face looked desolate and broken, which was heartbreaking to see.
The tone is intermittent.
"The secret guards outside... are from the General's Mansion. After tonight, you can eliminate them... I know that my self-degrading behavior in seducing you disgusts you, so I can no longer face living in your presence. But..."
"Xiao Luochen, I beg you. I know you hate my arrogance and cruelty, but I really am not! Whether you believe me or not, considering that I didn't accomplish this and even led out a hidden spy for you, even if you have to eliminate the General's Mansion, please spare the lives of my mother and my brother."
After saying that, Sheng Wu released the hand holding the dagger, and wanted to put her blood-stained jade hand on Xiao Luochen's face, but she carefully restrained it, and the smile at the corner of her lips was broken and sad.
"I said that my beloved should sit in the most honorable position. You know, I was down there on the day you ascended the throne, watching with my own eyes. The way you wore the dragon robes was indeed as majestic and noble as I imagined."
Her beautiful, sparkling eyes were filled with him, and her smile was pure and flawless, like a quietly blooming snow lotus.
"I wish you great achievements for thousands of years, and peace and prosperity in the sea and river..." His voice gradually became weaker and his eyes slowly closed.
After saying that, Sheng Wu's hand suddenly fell from mid-air and landed in Xiao Luochen's arms, and she fainted.
"Holy Charm!"
Xiao Luochen subconsciously raised his hands to embrace Sheng Wu who was about to fall. Looking at the person in his arms, his pupils trembled and his eyes were filled with surprise and complexity.
He couldn't understand. He didn't understand what this woman looked like.
I don’t understand. Does she really love me?
What she said just now, could it be that the General's Mansion planned everything?!
But if she didn't want to, why would she sacrifice her innocence like this?
Sheng Wu, what exactly do you want to do...
"emperor!"
Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed in from the window.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Luochen scolded coldly, considering that the person in his arms was naked.
"Close your eyes and stop!"
The black shadow stopped immediately and didn't dare to get any closer.
The internal strength in his body slowly recovered and he was able to move. Xiao Luochen picked up Sheng Wu and covered Sheng Wu with the cloak next to him, then looked towards the door.
"Come in!"
The black shadow then quickly flashed in.
"Your Majesty, the secret guards outside are all unconscious, and my subordinates have discovered during their patrol that the two imperial concubines are rushing towards the imperial study."
Hearing this, Xiao Luochen's eyes darkened, and he suddenly realized that it was very likely someone was plotting behind the scenes.
"Send someone to stop the two concubines! Tell them that I have gone to bed and will not see anyone. If anyone dares to force their way in, I will kill them on the spot!"
"Call the imperial physician, quickly! Also, send in a palace maid!"
Now that Sheng Wu is in this condition, she cannot move at will. Not only is her life in danger, but she is also prone to gossip.
Xiao Luochen looked at the blood on his body that was stained more and more by Sheng Wu, and his fingertips trembled involuntarily. He didn't care about the protection between men and women, and quickly raised his hand to press several acupoints on Sheng Wu's body to stop the bleeding temporarily.
There was a hint of complexity in his cold eyes. He quickly picked up Sheng Wu and went to the inner room of the side hall.
"yes!"
The man in black took the order and went down quickly.
After a while, a palace maid came in from the side hall.
When the maid saw Sheng Wu lying naked on the bed with a dagger stuck in her chest, she turned pale with fear.
"Ah, Your Majesty! This!"
Why is the Empress Dowager in the Imperial Study like this? Moreover, there is blood on the Emperor's body!
She, she saw all this, could she still get out alive?!
"Shut up! If you dare to scream, I will kill you right now!"
Seeing that her hands were shaking with fear, Xiao Luochen, who was already in a bad mood, looked even darker and violently picked up the sword hanging next to him.
Pointing directly at the palace maid.
"Go quickly and put the Queen Mother's clothes on first!"
