Chapter 152 She won’t spare Shen Yuanwei!
The pampered empress dowager suddenly suffered such a misfortune. She felt so much pain that her eyes went dark. She was afraid that she would die. She covered her bleeding heart with trembling hands and was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing Shen Yuanwei was about to leave, her frightened eyes fixed and suddenly became cold!
Want to leave?
Don’t even think about it!
How dare she use a knife on her mother-in-law? After the child is born, she will let this little bitch know how powerful she is!
"Stop her...!"
The eunuchs and maids all ran over in panic to protect the Queen Mother. Only a few people were at the bottom of the stairs. When they heard the Queen Mother say to stop them, they hurried over to block Shen Yuanwei's way.
"Empress Zhao, you can't leave!"
"You have hurt the Queen Mother. You must wait here for the Emperor to come!"
Shen Yuanwei raised her eyes and looked at them who were blocking the way.
"No need to wait for the emperor to come, I will go and plead guilty to the emperor myself!"
She raised the dagger and stabbed whoever was in her way!
"Get out of the way! Let me go find the Emperor!"
"Didn't you say that I'm crazy? I'm a madman who dares to hurt the Queen Mother. I wouldn't even blink an eye if I could take your lives!"
“Get out of the way!”
"If you dare to rush over and subdue me, I will immediately stab you with a dagger! When the emperor loses two sons, you and your nine clans will all be buried with me!"
“…”
The eunuchs looked at Concubine Zhao who was acting like a madman and did not dare to step forward to capture her.
Just as Concubine Zhao said, she is pregnant with the emperor's twins. If anything happens to them, who will be responsible?
The eunuchs looked at Queen Mother Jiang, wanting to hear what she had to say.
But Queen Mother Jiang closed her eyes and fainted after she shouted with trembling voice. The eunuchs did not receive any instructions from Queen Mother Jiang, so naturally no one dared to stop the queen who was rushing forward with a dagger in her hand.
They were forced to disperse and follow Concubine Zhao closely, not letting the murderer out of their sight.
Shen Yuanwei, with her big belly, was supported by Song Suihuan and walked forward with big strides.
The first time she hurt someone, her fingers were shaking.
When Song Suihuan saw such a big scene, his fingers trembled with fear.
Song Suihuan walked quickly while turning to look at her in panic, "Madam, how dare you..."
Shen Yuanwei gritted her teeth and said, "She went too far. I was just irritated and lost my mind..."
Shen Yuanwei took a deep breath, "But it doesn't matter, she won't die, I don't have to pay for her life, I will be fine."
Song Suihuan's voice was shaking, "But she is the emperor's biological mother. No son can watch his mother being hurt and not punish the murderer..."
Shen Yuanwei endured the discomfort in her stomach and quickened her pace.
"So we have to leave this courtyard where we can only be slaughtered by these mother and son. We have to rush to the Taiji Hall!"
"Today, some ministers are discussing matters with the emperor. Only if we bring this matter to the attention of the ministers will I be safe..."
Shen Yuanwei turned around and glanced at the chaotic yard.
"If I don't take this opportunity to rush out and let those ministers know what the Queen Mother did to me, when she wakes up, she will punish me at will behind closed doors. After I give birth to the child, I will be of no use to the Emperor, and he will turn a blind eye to my life or death in order to appease his injured mother."
"But if I let the court officials know that it was the Queen Mother who was immoral today and that she was the one who gave me the drug to harm me and my unborn child, then my attack on her would only be considered self-defense out of extreme anger."
"My stomach hurts a lot right now. I'm afraid I'm about to give birth. As long as I beg the emperor to spare me in front of all the civil and military officials when I give birth, and ask the emperor to invite General Xiao to the palace, he will definitely agree to my request for the safety of his child..."
"Once the child is born, the old general and I will join forces with the ministers to force the emperor to fulfill his promise and ask him to send me, Madam Xiao, back to the Xiao Mansion immediately. Then I can leave safely..."
Song Suihuan was shocked and in awe when she heard what Shen Yuanwei said to her.
No wonder even the Emperor is afraid of Concubine Zhao, this fearless troublemaker!
She is capable of getting into trouble, but also very good at escaping punishment...
The emperor had to watch her anger people to death every day, and he couldn't punish her. Wasn't it because he was afraid of her?
Shen Yuanwei glanced sideways and met Song Suihuan's admiring eyes, and laughed.
"I only dare to do whatever I want because of the two children in my belly. They are the emperor's weak spot. The emperor can compromise for them again and again. If it weren't for them, the emperor would have killed me eighteen times for what I have done..."
Song Suihuan couldn't help laughing.
Concubine Zhao was really sober and open-minded. She was not at all indulged in the emperor's tenderness. She knew clearly that the emperor was nice to her only for the sake of the child and it had nothing to do with love.
The two men walked very quickly, and the eunuchs behind them followed closely.
As they ran and chased, they soon arrived at the tall palace gate not far from the Taiji Hall.
The palace maid who had just seen the empress dowager being assassinated and had rushed to report the news was stopped outside the door by the guards, and was not able to break into the Taiji Hall to see the emperor.
The palace maid was crying and urging the guards to go and report to the emperor.
"Get out of the way!"
"Concubine Zhao assassinated the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is now in critical condition. You should quickly go to the palace to inform the Emperor!"
"If you delay the time and something happens to the Queen Mother, who among you can bear the responsibility?"
The guards held heavy swords to stop her, not moving an inch.
"Today, the prefect of Suzhou sent a good news. The court officials were overjoyed and came to see the emperor. At this moment, the emperor is discussing matters with the ministers. Eunuch Chen Hai has ordered that even if the sky falls, the emperor's business cannot be delayed!"
The palace maid was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down.
She cried and shouted, "Didn't you hear? The Queen Mother was assassinated, and something happened to the Emperor's biological mother. Isn't this a big deal?"
The guards didn't believe the palace maid's words at all.
They said—
"If you said that an assassin broke in and killed the Empress Dowager, we would believe you a little, but you actually said that Concubine Zhao, a woman who was eight months pregnant and weak, assassinated the Empress Dowager. Who would believe it?"
"Everyone in this huge palace knows that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor dote on Concubine Zhao. Everyone knows that Concubine Zhao is kind and gets along well with the Empress Dowager and the Queen. Why would she want to assassinate the Empress Dowager?"
"Empress Zhao is about to give birth to a little prince for the emperor. She has a lot of wealth waiting for her. Why would she give up her good life? What reason does she have to run to assassinate the queen mother and commit this capital crime?"
“…”
The palace maid cried really hard.
Before she saw Concubine Zhao go crazy and stab the Queen Mother with a knife, she had never thought that Concubine Zhao would kill the Queen Mother.
But Concubine Zhao just took action!
The Queen Mother's heart was bleeding...
The palace maid was about to speak to the guards again when suddenly, the guards saw Shen Yuanwei and Song Suihuan approaching.
Concubine Zhao used to be a long-term resident of Taiji Hall, and they knew each other.
They were all stunned when they saw Concubine Zhao coming with a bloody dagger in her hand.
Could it be that what the palace maid said was true, and that Concubine Zhao really used this dagger to assassinate the Empress Dowager?
