Chapter 197 Blood splattered on the spot

"Pa!"

As soon as she said that, Emperor Xuanwu slapped her in the face: "If you dare to insult Concubine Xian again, I will pull out your tongue."

Jiang Xinyue also felt sorry for Xia He. It seemed that the emperor had only hit his servants twice, and both times he hit Xia He in the face.

The queen and Concubine De were startled by the huge slap and stood aside without saying a word.

"What do you mean? What do you mean I killed her?"

Xia He couldn't say that without any reason.

"Are you still pretending?"

"Your Majesty, Empress, this evening the master said that her stomach was uncomfortable, and asked me to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite a doctor to see her. I didn't find a doctor, and I was afraid that something might happen to the master, so I came back early. I saw a figure from behind, and it was clearly Concubine Xian running out from inside. I saw everything."

Jiang Xinyue didn't feel guilty at all, and continued to ask: "You said you saw my back, about what time was it?"

Xia He said firmly: "One quarter of the night, I remember it clearly."

"Tsk!"

De Fei sneered, "The hour of midnight was the exact time for Consort Xian to be canonized. Hundreds of eyes were watching her accept the canonization ceremony from the inner officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. How could she come to the Palace of Destiny to kill your master?"

The Queen also said, "It was such a coincidence that you saw her back, but not her face. Someone must have killed your master and framed Consort Xian, but they didn't calculate the time."

Xia He's tears did not fall because of shock, but she refused to believe it and said, "The things that Tang Shiliang and his men searched out of the master's bedroom just now, I have never seen them before. They are not our queen's things. They must be Jiang..."

She wanted to call Jiang Xinyue's name again, but she caught a glimpse of the emperor's warning eyes. , she felt her back teeth were loose, and she quickly changed her address and said, "It must be the Concubine Xian who let someone in to frame my master."

Jiang Xinyue sighed, "I am not the one who contributed to the fate of Concubine Li. I wrote off the revenge of her for punishing me to kneel in the garden when she fell out of favor. I didn't take these little things to heart. You said that I framed her, but why should I take the risk of being discovered to frame someone who is inferior to me in every way? Do you think I'm stupid?" Concubine Li

has dominated the harem for more than ten years, and she has offended countless concubines. She doesn't need to do anything. Life will not be easy for Concubine Li after she falls out of favor.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs might be managed by the Pei family and take good care of her, but the concubines in the harem have many ways to torture people, and the officials of the previous dynasty cannot manage the harem.

The queen has probably hated Li Guiji the most for so many years. She hopes that all the concubines will cause trouble for Li Guiji, so how can she restrict their behavior?

If Jiang Xinyue is not stupid, she will not take action against Li Guiji, lest her personality will collapse after being discovered by the emperor.

Xia He looked as if her consciousness had collapsed, and she muttered to herself: "Who is that? Who on earth wants to harm my queen?"

She knelt on the ground, looked at the empress, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, the queen mother and the emperor. After looking around, she suddenly laughed: "My queen, look, this is the person you love. He doesn't even want to feel sad for you or shed a tear for you, but he is willing to hurt you again and again for Concubine Xian. My queen, only I really care about you."

She got up from the ground, as if she wanted to carve all these people's faces into her mind: "I don't know who harmed my master, but I want that person to remember that even if I die... and turn into a fierce ghost, I will not let go of the person who killed my queen."

"Just wait for me to come back and claim your lives!"

She yelled, and slammed into a pillar beside her. With a loud bang, Xia He's blood splashed onto the face of the Queen Mother next to the pillar, causing a burst of screams.

Emperor Xuanwu also protected Jiang Xinyue and stepped back two steps, covering her eyes with his sleeves, not wanting her to see the horrific scene.

Xia He fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, not knowing where she was looking.

Maybe she was looking at the real murderer who killed her master!

One side of her forehead was deeply sunken, and the thick blood, not knowing whether it was the brain that burst out, stuck to the sunken forehead.

Xia He's blood splashed on the spot, just to intimidate the people who killed Li Guiji.

The crimson carpet was stained dark by blood. After midnight, a gust of cold wind blew, and the doors and windows of the main hall were opened, making crackling noises.

The candles were blown out in an instant. The queen mother screamed and fainted.

Just when everyone was frightened by this sudden change, a candle flickered and lit up.

An extremely beautiful face appeared behind the candle.

But in such a weird atmosphere, the beautiful face, no matter how bright and fresh it was, was tinged with a bit of weirdness.

Emperor Xuanwu almost thought he had seen a ghost.

Pei Wu looked at the emperor who was frightened by her with satisfaction, and then used the candle in her hand to light the remaining candles that were blown out.

The Yanxi Palace was lit up again, and Pei Wu's beauty was fully displayed in front of everyone.

Her voice had the power to soothe people: "It should be that this palace maid deliberately opened all the doors and windows, wanting to use the atmosphere created by her own death and the environment to scare us. People with a clear conscience will not be afraid, but people with guilty consciences will be scared out of their wits in the middle of the night."

She pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, dipped a little water in it and wiped the blood stains on the Queen Mother's face: "Of course, the person with guilty consciences that this minister is talking about is not the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was just simply timid.

This fairy-like girl instantly captivated everyone's eyes and followed her movements. The Queen Mother

woke up while she was wiping, her face pale as she said, "Awu...Awu, take me back to the palace and recite some Buddhist scriptures for me to calm my mind."

"Queen Mother, the small money in your palace is still in Hexi Palace!"

Jiang Xinyue kindly reminded her, but the Queen Mother said coldly, "The dog slave who meddles in other people's business will only cause trouble for me. If Concubine Xian suspects him, just beat him to death and throw him out of the palace."

After that, she took Pei Wu's hand and walked out quickly.

"I heard that the eunuch in Concubine Rong's palace was also arrested?"

Defei smiled slightly: "I thought that Concubine Xian had a very good relationship with Concubine Rong, how come there are Concubine Rong's spies in Hexi Palace?"

Concubine Rong shook her head quickly: "Xiao Yinzi was really not sent by me to inquire about the news. He is not a servant who serves me closely. How could I pay attention to his movements all the time?"

"Then..."

Defei still wanted to sow discord, but Jiang Xinyue smiled and said, "I believe in Rongfei."

Since she said so, anything Defei said would be a disadvantage, so she smiled and said, "It's all right to talk about the misunderstanding, we can still be good sisters."

Emperor Xuanwu's patience had run out: "Wang Dequan, Li Guiji will be posthumously named Lipin, and buried with the ceremony of Guifei. Send someone to inform the Pei family."

As for Xia He's fate, she should be buried in a mass grave.
