The Queen's face turned cold. Concubine Xuan must have done it on purpose. She didn't wake up earlier or later, but woke up just when the old servant was about to give instructions. She deserved to die.

Concubine Ji also had a look of resentment on her face. Concubine Xuan was really an indestructible cockroach. She woke up at such a good time.

So what if she wakes up? Let’s see how she can argue this time.

Concubine Xuan opened her eyes and saw the emperor in front of her, but suddenly her face was filled with panic and fear: "Ah, don't come over, don't kill His Majesty, His Majesty, run away, I will drag him!"

Everyone was shocked, and the emperor's face changed drastically: "Xuan Fei, Xuan Fei, what's wrong with you? Look carefully, it's me."

The emperor said this and grabbed Concubine Xuan's arm with both hands.

"Ah, let me go, I don't know you, don't try to hurt His Majesty, Your Majesty, please go away and don't worry about me." Concubine Xuan pushed the emperor away and hid in the corner of the bed.

"Don't come over here, go away, don't hurt His Majesty, go away!"

Everyone was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

The queen's face fell apart and she clenched her fists in her sleeves.

The reason why the emperor favored Concubine Xuan for many years was because Concubine Xuan had saved his majesty before. It was said that Concubine Xuan blocked a sword for his majesty in order to protect him and almost died. So after that, his majesty was very concerned about her and favored her for many years.

At this moment, Concubine Xuan actually pretended to be crazy and deliberately brought up what happened in the past. It was really abominable.

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of anyone becoming stupid after being struck by lightning?" Concubine Ji said deliberately.

"Is Concubine Xuan pretending to be crazy?"

"Does Concubine Xuan want to escape the death penalty?" The concubines whispered.

The emperor was originally a little soft-hearted. Seeing Concubine Xuan protecting him like this, he was very moved. But when he heard what the concubines said, his face turned a little colder.

"Imperial Physician, come and treat Concubine Xuan immediately." the emperor ordered.

"Yes." The imperial physician came over immediately.

But before he could touch Concubine Xuan, she suddenly screamed and grabbed the emperor's arm: "Go away, don't touch me, Your Majesty, save me, Your Majesty------"

"Empress Xuan, it's me. The imperial physician is just checking you out. He won't hurt you. Please trust me," the emperor comforted.

Concubine Xuan stared at the emperor with wide eyes: "Are you really His Majesty? But His Majesty should have escaped, right?"

"How could I bear to leave you alone? Don't be afraid, come here." The emperor pulled her arm.

The imperial physician came over immediately to take Concubine Xuan's pulse. The empress stared at her. If she made any unusual movement, she would expose her immediately.

But Concubine Xuan had no other reaction except panic.

"Imperial Physician, how is it?" the emperor asked coldly.

The imperial physician's face was solemn: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xuan is physically weak, and there is nothing else wrong with her. I really can't find anything wrong."

Just as the emperor was about to say something, the queen spoke up: "Since the imperial physician can't find out what's wrong, Concubine Xuan is just pretending to be crazy! She instructed this old Taoist priest to use witchcraft to harm the prince and your majesty. Your majesty, please execute Concubine Xuan!"

There was a fierce look in the eyes of Concubine Xuan who was pretending to be crazy. It seemed that the Queen really wanted to kill her at any moment.

She took advantage of everyone's inattention and glared at Ye Qiu coldly.

That look was so sinister and resolute that Ye Qiu shuddered with fear and collapsed to the ground.

She was very sure that Concubine Xuan was pretending to be crazy. The warning look she just gave him made Ye Qiu shudder.

"Your Majesty, this old servant has not yet revealed the mastermind behind this?" a concubine spoke up.

The emperor then looked over, his cold black pupils carrying a bloodthirsty look: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Ye Qiu subconsciously glanced at Concubine Xuan. The Queen saw this scene, but Concubine Xuan did not show any abnormality, she just looked panicked.

"Your Majesty, this was all done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Concubine Xuan!" Ye Qiu could only admit it himself.

"Nonsense! How can a servant like you allow a Taoist priest into the palace and know the birth dates of the Crown Prince and His Majesty?" The Queen snorted coldly.

Ye Qiu shuddered with fear, but she knew that Concubine Xuan was not crazy. The emperor would execute all nine generations of her clan, but Concubine Xuan could make her son and grandson live a life worse than death.

So, she could only accept the consequences.

"That's right, you are taking the blame for Concubine Xuan. Does Concubine Xuan promise you wealth and glory, or does she threaten you with your family?" Concubine Ji asked back.

When mentioning her family, Ye Qiu froze, and the emperor also noticed her hesitation.

"Imperial Guards, go and bring this servant's family here immediately," the emperor ordered.

"yes."

Concubine Xuan clenched her fists in her sleeves. This time, Ye Qiu really couldn't stay.

She pretended to be scared and hugged her shoulders tightly, but she pressed the mechanism on the bracelet. A silver needle flew out instantly and pierced Ye Qiu's throat.

Ye Qiu was completely unable to react. He only felt a pain in his throat. He looked at Concubine Xuan not far away in shock and disbelief, and died on the spot.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and no one reacted.

"There is an assassin, protect His Majesty!" Concubine Ji immediately rushed over and stood in front of the emperor.

The emperor's face was also very ugly, and he was furious: "Damn it! Someone actually dared to kill someone in front of me. The Imperial Guards will conduct a thorough investigation immediately, and no one is allowed to leave!"

The Queen was extremely angry. She ran over and grabbed Concubine Xuan and said, "It must be you. Your servant was about to tell the truth, but was suddenly silenced. It must be you who did it!"

"Ah, don't come over, go away, save me, Your Majesty, save me!" Concubine Xuan pretended to be scared, her face was pale, and her whole body was shaking.

"Empress, is this how you bully my mother?" A cold voice was heard and Prince Mo walked in.

The Queen looked at him coldly and said, "Your mother practiced witchcraft in the palace and harmed the Crown Prince and His Majesty. Everyone saw this, including His Majesty. How can you say that she bullied your mother?"

When Concubine Xuan got into trouble before, Ye Qiu immediately sent someone to inform Prince Mo, so Prince Mo only knew that Concubine Xuan got into trouble, and didn't know what happened.

Prince Mo's face darkened: "Mother cares about father the most. In order to save father, she would rather be stabbed. How could mother harm father? Please understand clearly, father."

The emperor frowned and said nothing.

"It is true that Concubine Xuan saved Your Majesty back then, but the birth dates and witchcraft items of the Crown Prince and Your Majesty were also found in Concubine Xuan's yard. The old Taoist said it was Concubine Xuan's doing. Does Prince Mo want to use the past kindness to threaten Your Majesty?" the Queen asked.

"Queen, please be careful with your words. How could I threaten your father? Your Majesty is aware of what you have said. Someone must have framed you. Please investigate carefully and give your mother justice." Prince Mo pleaded.

Concubine Xuan knew that today's situation was really unfavorable to her, so she deliberately clapped her hands in panic and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go find Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still waiting for me." As she said that, she was about to stand up.

"Stop her quickly!" the queen ordered. How could she let her leave today?

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot towards the emperor from the window. It was so fast that no one could react.

Seeing this, Concubine Xuan stood in front of the emperor without thinking: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

The sharp arrow hit Concubine Xuan directly in the chest, and she vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
