Chapter 490: Death



These words completely broke the imperial concubine's heart. She stared at the queen with bloodshot eyes, then glanced at the two eunuchs standing around her, and her murderous intent suddenly appeared.

She would not survive today anyway, so she might as well give it a try. If she could drag the queen to death with her, maybe she could get rid of a big trouble for the children.

So, without saying a word, he took the dagger from the lacquer tray and rushed towards the queen with the sharp knife, muttering to himself.

"Bitch, go to hell!"

No one was able to react to her move. They were really scared.

Unfortunately, she knew too little about Empress Guo, so she had no idea that she had some skills. Although she was not capable of killing people to silence them, she could still dodge a murderous knife in a critical moment.

If you miss the first strike, you lose your chance.

Empress Guo kicked her hand and the knife fell to the ground. Without the weapon, the imperial concubine was just an ordinary woman. Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Hu immediately stepped forward to suppress her from both sides and shouted loudly.

"Someone come, the imperial concubine has assassinated the queen!"

This shout ended all the possible ways of survival for the imperial concubine. Thinking about her future fate, she felt that it would be better for her to die now.

Unfortunately, the two eunuchs looked delicate and strong, and they pressed her down so that she could not move at all. In the end, she was captured by the guards who rushed in and trapped.

When he stood up again, his gorgeous clothes had lost their former elegance, his hair was disheveled, and he looked decadent yet stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

Empress Guo straightened her clothes, looked at her defeated appearance, and spoke sternly.

"Immediately, send the imperial concubine to heaven, and then report that the imperial concubine used elixirs to please the emperor, not only killing His Majesty, but also trying to assassinate me in an attempt to control the government of Daxing. For such a heinous act, order the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Guo to thoroughly investigate the people behind it. No matter their identities, no matter how old, they will all be arrested. Every one of them will die on the day of His Majesty's funeral!"

After Empress Guo said this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but burst into cursing!

"Guo, you bitch, how dare you do this to us! We are His Majesty's personal concubines, His Majesty's biological children! How dare you!"

"Why should I not dare? What if I am a concubine? What if I am your son? Once the evidence of regicide is verified, you will be buried with your entire clan!"

Then he looked at Eunuch Hu and Eunuch Liu and said.

"No need for the dagger, just force her to drink the medicine! I want to see her die completely!"

"Yes! My Lady!"

Both of them were old men who were used to seeing life and death in the palace, and their hands were stained with other people's blood. Moreover, anyone with eyes could see that the empress and the prince were the future, and who would not be willing to step on the corpse of the imperial concubine to move up?

So, the two of them also had bloodshot eyes. One of them held her head, and the other one forced her mouth to open, and then they poured the whole bottle of poison into the imperial concubine's mouth, and then forced her to swallow it.

The poison is the Crane's Beak Poison, which is fatal once it comes into contact with blood. Even a great immortal cannot save the person once it enters the body.

Soon, the imperial concubine felt her blood flowing backwards and her breathing became difficult. Finally, she died with bulging eyes and bleeding from her mouth in the palace where she had been favored for many years.

Eunuch Liu did not give up. He stepped forward and stabbed the imperial concubine in the chest again, stabbing directly from the chest to the back. After two strikes, even if the imperial concubine was the reincarnation of a cat demon, she would not survive.

The bedroom was filled with the smell of blood, but no one present was afraid or retreated. Some were even slightly excited. After all, they followed the right master, and now that the master was going to rule the world, they naturally wanted to share in the success as well.

Empress Guo looked at the dead imperial concubine without any sign of fear. Instead, she gave orders to those present.

"Clean up the Imperial Concubine's palace. I don't want to see anyone walk out of here alive. The Imperial Concubine's crimes will be announced to the world immediately. At the same time, send people to surround the bedrooms of the other concubines and the princes and princesses. No one can come out and walk around without my order!"

"Yes, madam."

Soon, the imperial concubine's palace was flooded with blood. Overnight, the ghost messenger who came to claim her life would probably be exhausted to death.

As for the other people in the palace, they were also scared out of their wits when they heard the news. Who could have imagined that the Queen Mother, who looked kind and benevolent on weekdays, would actually order the massacre of everyone in the palace? Hundreds of lives turned into a pool of blood in an instant. How could people not be afraid?

The palace was filled with blood and murder, but people outside the palace were also busy.

As soon as the news of the emperor's death came out, the Prime Minister's Office and the General's Office immediately dispatched people. They did not rush to the Fourth Prince's or the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but went to the small courtyard where the former Crown Prince Fu Yanhui was located.

Rather than civil unrest, they were more worried about the troubles of the previous dynasty.

If he really rebels against Daxing, then what's the point of all these people living here!

At the same time, during this period of time, they also arranged people outside the residences of the traitors in the court who were found out through Fu Yanhui. At Gu Shaoyu's command, those who should be arrested should be arrested, those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned, and those who should be killed should be killed.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The General’s Mansion, in Xitang Courtyard.

Du Jingyi hasn't fallen asleep since she woke up. Although there wasn't much noise outside, she was still very worried.

When Gu Shaoyu left, she specially put on a gold-thread soft armor for him. She bought that thing at a high price, so it was naturally useful at this time. Otherwise, if he was not careful in the days when he was on the edge of a knife, he would be in danger.

The moonlight was bright, yet eerily quiet.

It was already almost April, but Du Jingyi felt the night was chilly. Yingtao helped her put on a thicker coat, then lit two more palace lanterns before speaking.

"Madam, you can't sleep. I'll keep you company and talk. It's better than being alone here with your thoughts."

"You always know what I'm thinking."

Then Du Jingyi patted the seat in front of him and asked her to sit down.

Since there was no one else here, Cherry didn't bother to be polite. She sat down and chatted with her wife as usual.

"I'm afraid the generals are very busy these days."

"When we sent him away just now, he said that he would not be back for a few days at the least, or half a month at the most, so we have to guard the gate well."

"Madam, don't worry. Those people dared to break into the general's mansion. I'm afraid they don't care about their lives."

Having said that, Du Jingyi was still a little worried in his heart. After all, this incident happened unexpectedly. If someone reacted or if there were fish that slipped through the net, it was not impossible that they would really rush to the General's Mansion.
