Chapter 381 Crazy
Shen Chuliu waved her hand: "Go ahead, go back and have lunch with Yao Baolin."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the Sixth Prince." Yao Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu nodded and went inside.
Qi Yixiu sat at the top, and after Shen Chuliu paid his respects, he found a place to stand.
Zhen Chongyi and Wen Chongrong haven't arrived yet, so it's relatively quiet here.
After paying his respects, Shen Chuliu saw Meng Xiaoyi kneeling in the corner. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her whole body looked as if it had been hit by frost. She looked decadent and about to die.
She was not there when I went to the palace, and she was sick when she came back, so I haven't seen her for several months.
Everyone arrived one after another. The Queen came in first, and Zhen Chongyi rushed in behind her: "Your Majesty, where is the Ninth Prince?"
She was crying.
Qi Yixiu said: "The Ninth Prince is fine."
"Yes, yes, I lost my composure." Zhen Chongyi hurriedly greeted him, and then asked, "Where is the Ninth Prince? I want to see him."
"In the inner room." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Zhen Chongyi hurried in.
Wen Chongrong arrived a step late. He felt weak all over and couldn't get up after kneeling down.
I don’t know if this is true or just a show.
However, before she could say anything, Meng Xiaoyi, who was kneeling in the corner, suddenly rushed over. Shen Chuliu only saw something flashing with cold light, and then heard Wen Chongrong's maid Xingzhi scream.
Then Meng Xiaoyi was pulled away, and a pair of shiny scissors fell to the ground.
Meng Xiaoyi said nothing, just looked down at the bloodstains on the scissors.
"This is crazy!" The queen was shocked: "Tie her up."
Meng Xiaoyi suddenly broke free from the eunuch's hand and ran into the pillar in the room.
She used all her strength, and the sound was so frightening that it made people panic.
From Shen Chuliu's angle, he could just see that her skull was sunken.
Shen Chuliu didn't know whether she was frightened by Meng Xiaoyi's desire to commit suicide or by seeing someone's skull get dented in real life, she actually screamed and took several steps back.
However, there was chaos in the palace and no one paid attention to her.
Zi Rui and Ji Mei also helped her walk back with pale faces.
Everyone was stunned, and the blood on Meng Xiaoyi's head was almost gushing out.
There was no way this man could be saved.
She kept repeating: One life for another.
Qi Yixiu immediately overturned the small table next to him, but the culprit was about to die.
"Drag him out and grind him to dust!"
The eunuchs quickly found a rag to cover Meng Xiaoyi's head and hurriedly pulled her out.
Shen Chuliu was really glad that she had sent the child away, otherwise the child would be frightened if he saw it. "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is out of danger." The imperial physician broke out in a cold sweat.
Qi Yixiu waved his hand and went into the inner room.
The queen followed him in.
The other concubines looked at each other, but did not dare to go in. They just listened at the door.
The imperial physician explained for a long while, saying that although the eighth prince had lost a lot of blood, he was fortunately alive and would be fine when he woke up.
"How is the Ninth Prince?" The Ninth Prince fainted from fright.
"In reply to the emperor, the Ninth Prince is fine. He is just too frightened. He will be fine once he wakes up. I am afraid he will have nightmares at night. He will be fine after a few days of comfort."
Qi Yixiu then breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't checked it out at that time, the two princes would have almost gotten into trouble.
Qi Yixiu rubbed his forehead: "Can the Eighth Prince move now?"
"Your Majesty, please do not move for now. The Eighth Prince has injured his head after all."
Qi Yixiu nodded and walked over to take a look. The Eighth Prince was lying there with a pale face. He was such a small person that he looked almost dead, if not alive.
"Let Zhen Chongyi take the Ninth Prince back first. The Eighth Prince is not easy to move, so let Wen Chongrong stay here with him." said the Queen.
"Everyone on duty in Ruiqing Palace today should ask carefully why Meng Xiaoyi was called in?" said the Queen.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask those who need to be questioned to leave here? The princes and princesses are all here." Concubine Kangde said.
The queen nodded and went to look at the emperor again.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take him to Taiji Palace."
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Li is here." Chusi came in and said.
Qi Yixiu hurried out to greet him.
As soon as Empress Dowager Li came over, she asked anxiously, "How are the Eighth and Ninth Princes? Where is that damn Meng Xiaoyi?"
"Mother, the eighth and ninth princes are fine, and Meng Xiaoyi has been executed. Don't worry." Qi Yixiu supported Queen Mother Li.
Empress Dowager Li was stunned: "Dead?"
"My Queen Mother, he died by hitting a pillar," said the Queen.
In fact, Meng Xiaoyi was still breathing when she was pulled out, but it was useless.
"She got away with it! What's going on?" Empress Dowager Li asked angrily.
"Don't be anxious, mother. We don't know yet. It's not clean here. Mother, why don't you move to Taiji Palace first?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"I'll just take a look at my two grandchildren first." Empress Dowager Li sighed.
When they entered, the two children were lying down, but not on the same couch. Zhen Chongyi and Wen Chongrong were both there, and they hurriedly stood up to greet them.
When Empress Dowager Li saw Zhen Chongyi's expression, she knew that the Ninth Prince was fine, and she felt relieved.
Looking at the Eighth Prince's appearance, she felt sad, after all, he was her grandson.
He said a few words of comfort before leaving.
Everyone moved to Taiji Palace, and Zhen Chongyi first took the ninth prince back to her residence.
Meng Xiaoyi died, but the servants who followed her were still there. None of them knew where Meng Xiaoyi got the poison or the scissors.
During this period, Meng Xiaoyi was sick and didn't want to see anyone, so they were often sent out and really knew nothing.
But the emperor didn't believe it, and neither did the people.
Therefore, all of Meng Xiaoyi's servants were sent to the Internal Criminal Department.
As well as the people who were guarding Ruiqing Palace, eleven people, from guards to eunuchs, were sent to the Internal Criminal Department.
Qi Yixiu was furious at the moment.
But Meng Xiaoyi's death made him feel that he had no place to vent his anger.
But he didn't know after all that Meng Xiaoyi's seemingly unsuccessful... assassination attempt.
Yes, this is an assassination.
At the moment, Qi Yixiu doesn’t even know what consequences Meng Xiaoyi’s move has caused. Unfortunately, it’s useless even if he knows.
For the Eighth Prince, perhaps this was the result that Wen Chongrong deserved, as she had done evil herself.
But the Ninth Prince was completely caught in an unprovoked disaster.
It was mid-afternoon when Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan.
The Sixth Prince was already having fun as if nothing had happened. Shen Chuliu dealt with it for a few seconds and then lay down.
I don't want to eat either.
Although she had seen death before, this was the first time she had seen such a tragic way. It was impossible for her to remain unmoved.
"Master, Yuanxiao has been kneeling outside for a long time." Zi Rui said in a low voice.
"What is he kneeling for?" Shen Chuliu frowned.
"Didn't I scare you today?"
"You are so free. Tell him to get up and be careful next time." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
"Oh." Zi Rui agreed and went out to tell Yuan Xiao.
Shen Chuliu rubbed his brows: "Is Meng Xiaoyi crazy?"
She couldn't believe that someone was so crazy.
