Chapter 503 Critical Hit
The moment Concubine Shu leaned into the arms of the Northern Qi Emperor, she swiftly pulled out the hairpin on her head and used all her strength to stab it into the Northern Qi Emperor's abdomen.
The Emperor of Northern Qi felt pain and pushed Concubine Shu away.
Concubine Shu staggered and fell to the ground, and the hairpin in her hand was thrown out and fell to the ground with a "click".
The Northern Qi emperor looked down at his abdomen in panic, only to see a hole in his dragon robe pierced by the hairpin, revealing the soft armor underneath. He then looked at the hairpin on the ground and realized it was actually an iron hairpin knife, with the end modified into a sharp blade.
Normally, the hairpin is wrapped in a sheath and worn on the head as an ordinary hairpin. If you don't examine it carefully, it is difficult to find the trick.
When Concubine Shu came out of the cold palace, the palace maids had already searched her body for fear that she might be carrying a weapon.
But no one expected that Concubine Shu actually hid the murder weapon on her head.
The Emperor of Northern Qi was shocked and frightened. If he had not put on a protective suit before coming to Fu'an Palace for fear of being attacked by the remnants of the previous dynasty, Concubine Shu would probably have succeeded.
He was furious: "You actually want to kill me."
Ever since the virtuous king’s tragic death, he has begun to suspect everyone around him.
But he never expected that the person who assassinated him was actually Concubine Shu.
He felt betrayed for the first time and asked, "I have treated you well, why did you betray me?"
"You treat me well?" Concubine Shu laughed as if she had heard a joke, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Heng'er came to see me the day before yesterday and told me to wait for him to make a contribution, and then he would take me out to enjoy life. Just one day later, I received his head. My son, he was so afraid of the dark, so afraid of pain, yet his head was chopped off alive and placed in a wooden box without even closing his eyes. How much regret and reluctance must he have to die with his eyes open? And you, you are still lying to me, is this how you treat me well?"
The Emperor of Northern Qi was stunned. He never expected that the remnants of the previous dynasty would cut off the head of the virtuous king and send it to the hands of Concubine Shu.
Even if he deceived Concubine Shu, she would not kill him.
What Shu Fei should hate are the remnants of the previous dynasty.
After all, it was they who killed the wise king.
Without waiting for his defense, Concubine Shu continued to accuse him: "You treated me well, but you caused the death of my entire Lin family. You treated me well, but you banished me to the cold palace. You treated me well, but just because of Jiang Jianzheng's prophecy, you confined Heng'er to his fiefdom. You treated me very well."
The Northern Qi Emperor grew increasingly angry and humiliated as he listened to Concubine Shu's sarcastic remarks. "Thunder, lightning, rain, and dew are all grace from the Emperor. If it weren't for your Lin family's wild ambitions and insatiable desires, how could you have ended up like this?"
"Yes, it was my Lin family who were too ambitious and didn't know how to appreciate the emperor's grace. They deserved the tragic death of their entire family. But how could my Heng'er be so innocent?" Concubine Shu's face was grim and she said hatefully, "You only know that Heng'er's courtesy name is Yanshan, and the 'Yan' in it corresponds to Jiang Jianzheng's prophecy. Do you know what the imperial tutor's surname is?"
Her son died, and she failed in her assassination attempt on the Northern Qi Emperor. She knew very well what would happen to her.
Therefore, even if she dies, she will drag all those who have hurt her to hell with her.
"The Imperial Tutor's surname is Yan, and he's the traitor who truly plotted to usurp the throne." Concubine Shu maliciously accused the Imperial Tutor, "Back then, I was jealous of Yizhen's deep affection for you, so I drugged her, intending to send her to another man's bed. But she disappeared that night, and so did the Imperial Tutor. The next morning, my maid took leave and returned to work, and happened to see them both returning together. Tell me, how could such a coincidence happen in this world? They disappeared together, and reappeared together. Where did they go? What did they do? Yizhen had been with you for so long, and there was no sign of pregnancy. And not long after this incident, she became pregnant. Tell me, whose child is she carrying?"
"Now it seems that only my Heng'er is your true offspring, and you killed him with your own hands."
