Chapter 234 Death
"Liu Zhu!"
Cui Jinxi and Bai Zhi screamed in fear, rushed forward and hugged the person lying on the ground in their arms.
Xiao Yunzi stood there in a daze, his face full of fear and regret.
Liu Zhu was standing next to him just now, why didn't he pull her back?
"Imperial Physician! Go find the Imperial Physician!"
Cui Jinxi's voice was filled with tears as she shouted anxiously.
Baizhi tried to use her sleeve to stop the blood flowing from Liuzhu's neck, but the wound was too deep and her efforts seemed so powerless.
"Liu Zhu, hold on, you must hold on!"
She choked and her voice was so trembling that it was almost inaudible.
The other people in Suiyuxuan may have their own thoughts, but Liuzhu's sincerity towards others is unquestionable.
This person has a pure heart, and wherever she goes, there are always smiles.
But she was too loyal and regarded the scheming Wanpin as her own life.
The leading guard came to his senses after a brief moment of shock. Seeing blood gushing out of Liuzhu's neck, he knew the situation was serious and hurriedly ordered his men.
"Quick, report to the steward!"
The emperor ordered them to guard Suiyuxuan, and this was a big deal as it involved lives.
In the darkness, a tall and thin guard took the order and ran away, and the people hiding in the dark followed carefully.
There were constant cries outside the door of Suiyuxuan, and it was destined to be a restless night.
Su Peisheng had just invited the emperor to leave his bedroom when he saw the chief guard rushing over.
"Eunuch Su, may I ask if the Emperor may rise? I have something important to report."
Both of them served before the emperor, so there was some affection between them.
"Please wait a moment. I will go and ask for instructions."
Su Peisheng entered the room and hurried out shortly afterwards.
"The master lets you in."
As soon as the chief guard entered, he knelt on the ground first.
"Your Majesty, the people from Suiyuxuan were trying to break out of the palace before dawn. The guards were loyal to their duties. During the struggle, a palace maid was hit by a knife and suffered minor injuries."
"They had the audacity to force their way through the palace gates, but what happened?"
The emperor was moved and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, I heard from the people below that Concubine Wan seems to be unwell, and they want to call the imperial physician."
"The guards followed the order and did not let anyone out, so..."
"Asshole, Wanpin is still pregnant with the dragon fetus. If anything goes wrong, can you afford it?"
"This slave deserves death!"
The chief guard kowtowed and apologized.
"Have the head guard go to the Ministry of Punishment to receive his punishment."
The emperor gave another anxious order.
"Su Peisheng, summon the imperial physician to see Concubine Wan immediately. We must protect the dragon fetus in her belly. If anything happens, report it immediately."
"Go to the Imperial Hospital and summon Wen Shichu... Forget it, let Chenpi go."
Concubine He accidentally let slip that she had seen the Wen family's heirloom.
He ordered Xia Qi to check and found out that the Wen family's heirloom was a jade pot.
What a beautiful “heart as pure as ice and as clear as a jade pot”!
Wen Shichu was so bold that he coveted the concubines at the beginning of the talent show and tried every means to get close to them.
Wanpin is both beautiful and talented, but there are unresolved conflicts between them. The emperor is worried about Wen Shichu appearing in front of his woman at this time.
Therefore, he had to change his attitude and ask Chenpi, who was taking Huipin's pulse, to diagnose the patient.
The emperor was very upset and hurried to attend the morning court without leaving any words of comfort.
Su Peisheng has been serving at his side the whole time. He knows that his master is still concerned about Concubine Wan, and he might release her when he calms down.
He didn't dare to delay and called on Xiao Xiazi, who was quick on his feet.
"You heard what the emperor said just now. Be smart and do your job carefully."
"Thank you for the advice, Master."
As Xiao Xia Zi and Chen Pi stepped into the Yangxin Palace, Bai Zhi, with red and swollen eyes, came forward to greet them.
"Imperial Physician, Sister Liuzhu is seriously injured. Please take a look."
Seeing that the blood on the ground had not dried yet, Chenpi nodded quickly and walked forward to take Liuzhu's pulse.
He placed two fingers on the side of Liuzhu's neck, opened her eyes again, and spoke in a heavy tone.
"This girl is seriously injured. I'm afraid... you should ask her if she has any last words."
There was also a concubine named Wan in the main hall who urgently needed medical treatment, so Chenpi didn't dare to delay.
Cui Jinxi looked around and gave orders in a deep voice.
"Baizhi, please follow me to the inner room to serve the master."
There is some inexplicable feeling between Xiao Yunzi and Liu Zhu, so let's leave the last time to them.
People will only awaken after experiencing pain, whether it is Concubine Wan or the still ignorant little Yunzi.
Cui Jinxi did not regret what she had done in secret.
As long as Concubine Wan can hold a high position, all sacrifices are worth it.
Cui Jinxi's expression was too serious, so Bai Zhi had no choice but to follow her into the inner room.
Chen Pi's eyes flashed as he took Zhen Huan's pulse. Why did it seem like Wanpin's discomfort was caused by the medicine?
Fortunately, the medication I took was not much, so I was able to recover quickly.
"Doctor Chen, how is our master?"
"Empress Wan was overly worried and didn't eat on time, which caused her to feel unwell."
"I, the Imperial Physician, will give you two injections and then go back to get the medicine."
There was infighting in the harem all the time, and the reason why Chen Pi turned to Huipin was to find a backer for himself.
He didn't want to get involved in Wanpin's affairs, but he still had to send the details to Chuxiu Palace.
The noise in Suiyuxuan was so loud that it alarmed the entire harem.
When An Lingrong learned that Liu Zhu had died, she said something with a complicated expression.
"A flower blooms with two sides, and life is between Buddha and demon."
Liu Zhu was an indispensable right-hand man beside Zhen Huan. Her death only made Zhen Huan hate the Queen more and even blame the Emperor.
"Bao Ge, have our people guarding outside the Broken Jade Pavilion found anything?"
"Reporting to the Queen, the guards on night watch drank a little wine last night. I heard that the master saw that the guards were working hard and specially rewarded them."
Bao Ge found this very strange. There were many miserable people in the harem, so why were the guards selected from each flag the only ones who had to work hard to keep watch at night?
"Do you suspect someone is plotting something bad? Or do you not want Liu Zhu to survive?"
Bao Ge nodded heavily.
"We must find out who the guards' rewards come from."
"Also, the Broken Jade Pavilion has attracted the Emperor's attention, so the guards probably won't be keeping a tight rein on it. Find an opportunity to pass on a message and have someone pay attention to whether there's anything unusual inside the Broken Jade Pavilion."
An Lingrong felt that Liu Zhu's death was too coincidental.
But there was a fog in front of her, making it difficult for her to see the key points.
The queen of Jingren Palace also got the news and she summoned Jianqiu.
"That bitch Zhen Huan is unwell, and I'm afraid she'll attract the Emperor's pity again."
"Have someone in the dark pass the message to Changchun Palace, and have Concubine He... go to the Yangxin Palace..."
"Did you understand what I said?"
"I understand. I'll do it right away."
Half an hour later, Huanbi came to Suiyuxuan with an anxious look on her face.
When she saw Liuzhu lying on the ground, tears streamed down her face.
"Xiao Yunzi, how could this happen?"
"How could Liu Zhu..."
Huanbi placed her index finger on Liuzhu's nose tremblingly, but didn't feel any breath.
The silly Liuzhu who smiled every day is gone!
She was pushed away by Liu Zhu and fell to the ground in fear.
