Chapter 320 Beware of Jiang Xinyue

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Doctor Hu closed the door of the side hall and pushed Concubine De, who was lying on the bed like a dead person, a few times. Seeing that she did not respond, he mysteriously took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and shook it under Concubine De's nose.

A pair of bloodshot eyes suddenly opened, and Concubine De immediately covered her stabbed abdomen with her hands. She gritted her teeth and took the powder from Doctor Hu's hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Your Majesty's action was too risky. You almost lost your life. If... if there is any mistake, what should we do?"

The wound hurt so much that Concubine De closed her eyes, but she did not make a sound of pain. After taking the special hemostatic medicine, the wound stopped bleeding, but the pain would double.

Doctor Hu had to admire Concubine De for being so patient.

"Is Jiang Xinyue... gone?"

The nausea was still there, and she endured the pain even though she was convulsing. She asked, "Is the slave dead?"

Doctor Hu bowed and replied, "The Emperor took the Royal Concubine away, saying that she would stay in Chengqian Palace for a few days. The poison for the slave was prepared by you, so it would not go wrong. They didn't find out anything."

That's good!

Concubine De found a place to sit up, but the wound was so painful that she lowered her neck.

Doctor Hu sighed: "Your Majesty, please don't do this again in the future. It's too dangerous."

"If not, how can the emperor trust me?"

She stood up with the help of Doctor Hu: "That bitch Lu Yin knows so much about me. I just tested her casually, and she exposed all my secrets. But she also helped me a lot, giving me the opportunity to smooth over the past and find her and the mute slave as scapegoats."

Doctor Hu admired Concubine De's methods even more: "Your Majesty is very smart. How old is the Royal Concubine now? She has only been in the palace for a short time. How can she be your opponent?"

"You are wrong to think so."

Defei took a deep breath to ease the pain, and said slowly: "I committed suicide in order to kill Luyin and put the blame on mute slaves. The reason why I hinted to Xiao Ronghua so early was not to prevent myself from being unable to escape after the incident was exposed. I did it to release Jiang Xinyue. If the emperor finds out, I can still gain sympathy by being the third prince, but if Jiang Xinyue exposes it, I will be completely ruined."

If she was afraid that the emperor would find out, she would not have done so many evil things at the beginning.

She was afraid of Jiang Xinyue.

Just like at the beginning, the queen, Li Guifei, Shufei and Liangfei all looked down on Jiang Xinyue, thinking that she was just a fresh plaything of the emperor's greed.

But she is different.

After Jiang Xinyue regained her favor, she knew at first sight that Jiang Xinyue was different from the fool she used to be.

That's why she plotted against Jiang Xinyue's life again and again, and instigated several fools to attack her, but unfortunately all failed.

Others only thought that Jiang Xinyue was lucky, but Defei never attributed her escape from death to luck.

Once or twice was luck, but three, four, or even five or six times, if no one could harm her, then it couldn't be explained by luck alone.

Jiang Xinyue's IQ and strategy were not inferior to hers, so every step she took, the first thing she guarded against was her old enemy, the Imperial Concubine, who was looked down upon by Doctor Hu.

The Yanqing Palace was quiet. The emperor sent people to surround the palace. The remaining maids and eunuchs did not dare to leave the room. The maids and eunuchs who knew about it had disappeared. The rest dared not even breathe.

"Your Majesty!"

Tang Shiliang covered his mouth and rushed out of the Lotus Garden. As he ran, he turned his back to the emperor and vomited.

Wang Dequan stood with the emperor outside the Lotus Garden. He had expected that something unusual must have been found inside.

"Fifteen corpses, male and female, including concubines, maids and eunuchs. The piranha in the lotus pond had not been fed for years and had been fed only dead human flesh. It had long since mutated and weighed fifty kilograms. The people from the Suspension Mirror Department transported them to the dungeon to be used as a means of interrogation."

"In the dumb slave's room, we found corpse powder and a woman's embroidered shoes. The maids all said they belonged to Lu Yin. This damn old pervert had collected a lot of Lu Yin's shoes, socks and clothes. This time he killed Lu Yin, not only because Lu Yin caught him murdering someone, but he might also be angry about not being able to get the love he wanted."

"It's horrible. The lotus in the lotus pond is always gorgeous because the pond is full of medicine powder. The lotus has long been petrified and has absorbed human blood to maintain its color. The servants pulled out all the lotus and found that the water in the lotus pond is all bright red human blood."

Without the medicine to clean the pond water and cover the smell of the rotting corpse, the stench made Tang Shiliang vomit.

Jiang Xinyue didn't believe that these more than ten lives were committed by the dumb slave. She was busy these days. She asked Xiao Xiangzi, who came out of the cold palace, to go back to the cold palace to investigate the dumb slave's life experience, and then asked Jiang Chuan to go out of the palace to the Jiang family and let them investigate Lu Yin.

In particular, they had to check the interpersonal relationships in Lu Yin's family.

Lu Yin is the maidservant of Concubine De. She grew up in the Chengguo Mansion since she was a child. Her family must have grown up at home, so it is easy to find out.

Jiang Xinyue's intuition told her that the dumb slave did not collect Lu Yin's things because he was a pervert. Things were not that simple.

If...

if Concubine De pretended to go to the rockery to take a look, Lu Yin, as a personal maid, would undoubtedly follow.

Jiang Xinyue was now standing on the rockery, taking off an earring from her ear, and then said to Shuangjiang: "My earring fell off, you help me find it."

Shuangjiang's first reaction was to walk to the edge of the rockery, so that she could overlook the area below from the high ground, so that she could find her master's earring quickly.

Suddenly, a huge force came from behind her, and Shuangjiang screamed miserably, and her fear reached its peak.

Two guards quickly grabbed her arms and pulled her back from the edge. Frost fell to the ground in shock, with a look of fear on her face.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Wen ran out of Hexi Palace and said, "Your Majesty, I can hear the screams at the door, but the maids inside the room can't hear them."

"So... Lu Yin wasn't killed by the rockery. She was killed by Concubine De, and then she hid in the cave of the rockery. Then she tricked Mo Nu into coming. Mo Nu saw Lu Yin's body, lost his mind in grief, and wanted to kill Concubine De."

The maids beside Concubine De also said that Mo Nu rushed towards Concubine De and took out a dagger from his sleeve. But who can guarantee that when Mo Nu pushed Concubine De, it was Mo Nu who took out the dagger, or did Concubine De stab herself in the chaos and then put the dagger into Mo Nu's hand?

No one saw it, right?

They only saw the mute slave rushing over, and then Concubine De was injured, and they protected her and fled into Hexi Palace.

But that day, because they wanted to tell the emperor that Xiao Ronghua was hiding in Hexi Palace, they all stood in front of the palace not far from the door.

If Lu Yin was pushed down by the mute slave without any defense, she would scream in fear like Shuangjiang.

But the fact is that none of them heard it.
