Chapter 109: The Fate of the Chess Piece
"Look, the person I sent to invite you was so reckless and didn't even know how to be considerate."
The Queen Mother chuckled softly, and her slender fingers carefully untied the ropes on her body.
The tone was intimate and caring, as if he was joking.
As she untied the ropes, she glanced with interest at Concubine Yu's face, which showed her frustration but anger that she dared not speak out.
Concubine Yu stood up weakly, her stiff body aching all over.
The Queen Mother calmly observed Concubine Yu's unusually thin body, her eyes settling on her slightly round belly.
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The mother's body has been damaged to this extent, but the fetus is so tenacious.
Concubine Yu hesitated for a moment, feeling that the empress dowager would not harm her with the fetus protecting her.
She told him everything she knew.
For example, His Majesty already knew that the Queen Mother was the one who cast the poison; he also brought in a poison master from outside the palace, who was injured; the Imperial Master was the voodoo doll she used to curse Concubine Min, and so on...
The Queen Mother listened quietly, her face gloomy enough to drip water.
Suddenly she couldn't bear it anymore.
With his long nails dyed with red cardamom, he raised his hand and slapped Concubine Yu in the face, leaving several bright red blood marks on her nails.
“Bang!”
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with anger, and her palms were hurt by the bones on her face.
Her fingertips trembled slightly. "You are a fool who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good. You actually let someone take the Gu out of your body."
“Damn it!”
Her cheeks were burning with pain and Concubine Yu was dizzy from being slapped.
His already weak body spun around like a top, and he covered his face blankly.
After years of smooth sailing, the Queen Mother felt a strong sense of crisis for the first time, as if her head was hanging on the edge of a knife, and she was completely panicked.
Even when she was trapped in Weiyang Palace, she was not as panicked as she is now.
She naturally knew how to get rid of the soul-eating insect she had planted herself.
The Gu Master was able to remove the Gu without harming the fetus, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
But in the short term, it will be impossible to help the emperor detoxify.
This period of time is her last chance!
All these years of hard work must not be wasted. The Queen Mother dared not think too much about it. If the Soul Devouring Gu failed...
No!
She couldn't accept it just thinking about it. The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, kneaded her eyebrows, and rubbed her temples with her fingers.
The emperor must have been tripped by something, otherwise he would not have just imprisoned her in the Weiyang Palace.
This is her chance, she can't just sit there and wait for death, the empress dowager thought bitterly, pacing back and forth in the hall anxiously, trying hard to think of a countermeasure.
"Witchcraft... Gu!"
Suddenly, the Queen Mother had an idea and she seemed to know what to do.
"Is what you just said true?"
"The Imperial Master's true form is truly a voodoo doll."
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Yu with sharp eyes. The Weiyang Palace was surrounded like an iron barrel. She might be able to maneuver in it, but getting out would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
News from outside could not reach her Weiyang Palace.
And it was at this time that Concubine Yu was sent to her by her instigated chess piece.
The Queen Mother began to become cautious, not knowing whether she should trust her, after all, Concubine Yu had betrayed her.
Concubine Yu covered her cheeks and trembled with fear. Seeing this, she raised her skinny right hand, palm facing up, and spoke word by word.
"I can swear to heaven that I saw with my own eyes... the doll that the Imperial Master transformed into. It was an evil creature."
The Queen Mother smiled, but her smile was superficial and did not reach her heart.
"How do you prove that it's a voodoo doll?"
Concubine Yu: "I even specially hired an embroiderer to make this based on Concubine Min's portrait."
"I'm very familiar with it. I can't mistake it at first sight."
The Empress Dowager stretched out her slender fingers, Concubine Yu's pupils shrank, she shrank back, and her voice was interrupted for a moment.
The empress dowager paused for a moment, her eyes twinkling with smiles as she gently smoothed the hair that had fallen by Concubine Yu's ear.
Patted her shoulder gently.
"I know what you said."
Some of the carefully planted potted plants in the Weiyang Palace had their branches and leaves wilted, while others had been ruined by being cut with scissors.
A pair of golden scissors was placed behind Concubine Yu's shoulder.
The Queen Mother's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold. She held the golden scissors and stabbed them into Concubine Yu's fragile neck with her backhand.
The force is so great, the speed is so fast, and the angle is so precise.
Concubine Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never expected the Queen Mother to suddenly attack her.
Her neck was stiff and she couldn't move. Her pupils, thin enough to make their heads pop out, stared intently at the Queen Mother and asked in confusion, "Why... why..."
The Queen Mother calmly wiped away the blood that had splattered from the corner of her eye and sneered, "Why else?"
"You are no longer of any use, and you even know our secrets."
"What use is there for me to keep you?"
In the spirit of loving the house and loving the dog, for the sake of the prince, Concubine Yu has revealed everything and regarded herself as one of their own.
In the end, she was the only one who mistakenly thought she was one of them.
Unable to recognize the identity of the chess piece.
Concubine Yu clutched her belly. She wanted to struggle for a while, "No..., the child is... the prince's, he can't die..."
"My Lord...save me!"
The Queen Mother watched coldly the entire time. She did not believe it, but instead pulled out her golden scissors and used force to send Concubine Yu on her way.
Dry eyes shed the last tear.
Concubine Yu closed her eyes completely, and the last words she muttered were still about the person she loved the most.
“Snap!”
The Queen Mother loosened her fingers, and the golden scissors fell from her hand. She stepped over and called out calmly, "Water."
The little palace maid walked up to the empress dowager with a copper basin filled with clear water, bowed her head and presented it respectfully.
The Queen Mother slowly washed the blood off her hands, turned around to look at the dead Concubine Yu, and sighed softly.
She watched her grow up, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't have any emotional fluctuations in her heart.
But she should never have exposed their plan, which left her with nowhere to go.
What's more, she is pregnant, so we can't keep her.
Regardless of whether the child is the emperor's or not, she is the emperor's concubine.
This child is the emperor's only bloodline, it depends on what the court officials think.
If their plan is to succeed, this child will be their biggest obstacle.
So she would never allow Concubine Yu to continue living.
She wiped her hands and raised her eyelids: "Get some pen and ink."
Little palace maid: "Yes."
A piece of white paper was spread out in the morning, and the brush was dipped in the fine ink that had been ground long ago. The empress dowager picked up the pen and told everyone what she had learned today, and also wrote down some strategies to deal with it.
After drying the wet ink on it, the Queen Mother handed the letter to the nanny beside her and said, "You must find a way to secretly send this letter out of the palace."
"No need, I'll teach you how to do it."
Mammy quickly took the letter with both hands, "Your Majesty, I understand."
A letter sewn into a piece of clothing leaked out from a leaky corner of the iron barrel of the Weiyang Palace.
He used the hidden chess piece buried deep in the palace and sent it out of the palace.
