Concubine Chen was born into a military family. Although her martial arts skills were not very high, she was much more agile than ordinary women.
In a few breaths, Concubine Chen rushed to King Rui and chopped at his head with a knife.
"My son~~~" Concubine Li, who was lying on the ground, screamed hoarsely.
With a loud 'clang', the Royal Guards blocked Chen Fei's knife in time.
When the first strike failed, Concubine Chen chopped down the second time without hesitation, and the knife hit King Rui's arm accurately.
Prince Rui felt pain and stopped holding the sword. He raised his eyes to look at Concubine Chen. His eagle eyes were bloodshot, yet revealed an inexplicable confusion.
He glanced at Concubine Chen, then looked at the Sixth Prince who was stabbed like a sieve beneath him. The confusion in his eyes turned into fear in an instant.
"Ding~". As the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, King Rui's chest was pierced by Concubine Chen's long sword. Blood splattered everywhere, and King Rui fell down softly.
"Ah!!! My son, my son, ah!!!" Concubine Li screamed and crawled forward.
The palace servants who were serving wanted to stop him, but found that they were too limp to exert any strength.
Prince Rui killed Prince Xian, and Concubine Chen killed Prince Rui again. Having witnessed everything, one can imagine their fate.
Concubine Li crawled to Prince Rui, hugged her son who was still twitching in pain, and screamed, "Ah!!! Jin Cheng, wake up~ wake up~ my son..."
Concubine Chen also screamed desperately, crying and laughing as she knelt beside the body of the Sixth Prince.
Her son's leg was broken and he lost the qualification to compete for the throne. Her mother's family immediately sent her concubine sister into the palace. She comforted herself that she had a son and a daughter, and even if she could not become the empress dowager in the future, she could at least be an honorable concubine dowager.
Later, her second princess died, leaving only him and the prince. Although life was miserable, she felt that she could still survive.
But now, her only remaining prince is gone, what is the meaning of her living alone in the world? Therefore, the King Rui who killed her son and her cold-blooded mother's family, go to hell with them!
It was not until Concubine Chen fell beside the Sixth Prince with a loud bang that everyone saw that she had committed suicide with a knife, and the small courtyard was flooded with blood.
Empress Xue, who was usually calm, was so frightened by the scene that she collapsed, her lips trembling for a long time and she couldn't speak.
When Emperor Yuanjing hurried over, the blood in the yard had not yet been cleaned up. A concubine and two princes were covered with white cloth, which was stained with blood, showing the tragic scene that had just happened.
When the white cloth was lifted, Emperor Yuanjing's gloomy face turned pale in an instant. Only after seeing it with his own eyes did he completely believe that not only had Concubine Chen, who had been with him for more than twenty years, died, but he also lost two princes in one day.
"What is going on?" Although Emperor Yuanjing's tone was relatively calm, everyone's hair stood on end, fearing that the emperor would be furious and force everyone present to be buried with Concubine Chen and the two princes.
The naked Prince Rui stabbed Prince Xian to death, and Concubine Chen killed Prince Rui. If this happened in an ordinary family, it would become a topic of conversation among the common people after dinner, let alone in the royal family. The emperor would never allow today's incident to spread.
The emperor asked, and the commander of the Royal Guard stepped forward and told the truth about the tragic scene. He then said, "I have made a preliminary inspection and found that there were scratches on the neck of the King Rui, and the King Xian was holding a dagger in his hand. Before the incident, the two princes must have had a dispute."
"Did they have a dispute?" Emperor Yuan Jing swept his stern eyes over everyone and gritted his teeth, "Investigate, thoroughly investigate for me."
At this time in the back hall of Yuhua Palace, Yan Muxi was helped to change into spare clothes, and the panic in her heart had mostly faded away.
Seeing that her body had stopped shaking, Dong Yu puffed up her cheeks and asked, "Where did you go just now, young lady? I was so scared that I couldn't find you."
Yinxia glared at Dongyu, "Didn't the Crown Princess say it? She got lost in the plum forest and didn't go anywhere."
Dongyu knew that he had said something wrong, and no matter how curious he was, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Just now, she and Yinxia had waited in the outer hall of Mei'an Garden for half an hour, but her young lady and the third young lady did not come out, and she did not see any other ladies from outside the court come to pay their respects to the empress dowager.
Sensing something was wrong, Yinxia broke into the inner hall to check, only to find that it was empty. Not to mention the empress dowager, even her own young lady and the third young lady were missing.
Yinxia asked her to go find the Crown Prince, while she went to Changchun Palace to find the Queen. She waited at the palace gate for half an hour before the Crown Prince returned from the sacrifice.
Just as she explained the situation to the Crown Prince, a young eunuch came running over with a message, saying that the Crown Prince's wife had lost her way and fallen in the plum forest. Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince hurriedly ordered her to prepare spare clothes and wait in Yuhua Palace, and then followed the eunuch to the plum forest.
When she was taking her clothes back, she happened to meet Yin Xia, Queen Xue and others. She was thinking about whether she should tell everyone that her own Crown Prince's Consort had been found, when suddenly a eunuch came to report that the Sixth Prince was looking for his pet dog in Merlin, and both the man and the dog had disappeared.
Upon hearing that something had happened to the prince, Queen Xue and everyone else changed their route and hurried to Merlin, not noticing that Yin Xia had fallen behind.
After listening to Dongyu's general explanation, Yinxia decided to follow the prince's instructions and return to Yuhua Palace to wait.
She had a hunch that something bad had happened to her Crown Prince's Consort, and that only the Crown Prince could save her. All they could do was to follow his orders and not hold him back.
Her decision turned out to be correct. Less than an incense stick's time after they arrived at Yuhua Palace, the Crown Prince brought the Crown Princess back.
The Crown Prince's Consort looked in a mess, and it was obvious that she had been bullied, but she did not explain the reason. She only said that she had fallen and asked her and Dongyu to help her dress up and change clothes.
Fortunately, the spare clothes and jewelry were exactly the same as the original ones, and after they were washed and dressed, no clues could be seen.
Coming out of the inner hall, Yan Muxi saw Yu Wantai waiting outside and asked anxiously, "Have you dealt with the torn clothes?
"Don't worry, I threw them all into the stove and burned them until not even ashes were left."
Yan Muxi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked, "Can we go and greet Concubine Qin?"
"No need. The noble lady is too ill to get up. We can just leave on our own and don't disturb others." Yu Wantai looked at her steadily, wanting to ask what had happened.
The way she looked just now clearly showed that she had been bullied, and there were only a handful of people in the harem who could bully Prince Rong's wife.
The question rolled to his throat, but he swallowed it back because he was afraid of arousing her fear again. Fortunately, the person returned safely. As for the cause of the incident, it would never be too late for him to know.
Coming out of the corner gate of Yuhua Palace, Dongyu saw Yan Muxi walking slowly, and said distressedly: "How about I carry the young lady on my back?"
When she was changing clothes just now, she saw large areas of redness, swelling and bruises on the young lady's knees and elbows. Although the bones were not injured, it must be very painful for her to walk.
Yan Muxi shook her head and refused, "No need."
The Sixth Prince was dead, and Prince Rui was probably not going to survive either. She didn't know what the situation was like on Merlin's side, and she didn't want to attract attention.
Yu Wantai glanced at her slightly stiff legs as she walked, and squatted down without saying anything, "Come on, I'll carry you."
Turning back, he saw her standing still and urged her, "Hurry up."
Yan Muxi hesitated for a moment, but finally climbed onto Yu Wantai's back.
Her limbs were limp and she had to hold on for a breath to avoid falling down. If what Yan Yongchen said was true, and Emperor Yuan Jing was a vindictive villain, then he planned to make Prince Rui humiliate her in revenge for the case of forcibly occupying the scholar's wife.
Now that she had escaped safely, and two princes had been killed in the royal family, the emperor would certainly not let her and Prince Rong's Mansion go. They had to rush to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible and no other troubles could occur.
