The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 214 King Goes Crazy
Concubine Zheng went out to pray for blessings, but was murdered and died tragically outside the palace. This incident shocked the court and the public.
When Dongfang Shuo heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. It was not until he saw the body of Concubine Zheng that he believed that his mother was really dead and had been stabbed to death by a dagger through the heart.
He was struck by lightning, furious and almost mad.
Runxue was also very shocked. For a moment, she didn't care about Dongfang Shuo's reaction and just stared at the imperial concubine's remains in a daze.
This was not the plan she and the imperial concubine had planned.
She asked the Imperial Concubine to pretend to form an alliance with the Queen to kill Chu Heyi and Xie Lin together, and then took the opportunity to put the blame on the Queen, thus getting rid of two powerful opponents at once.
As a result, it was Concubine Zheng who died, and Xie Lin and Chu Heyi who were charged with the crime...
Runxue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was cold. She soon realized that while the imperial concubine was pretending to form an alliance with the queen, the queen was also pretending to form an alliance with the imperial concubine.
In fact, the queen never believed in the imperial concubine's surrender. She had always used the same trick against her to kill the imperial concubine and put the blame on Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.
From this perspective, it seems that the Queen is dealing with two powerful enemies with one move.
The imperial concubine and the queen fought, and in the end the queen was the better one.
Runxue looked at Dongfang Shuo, whose eyes were red and who was almost going crazy with anger, and secretly felt lucky that she had not told Dongfang Shuo about the advice she had given to the imperial concubine.
Otherwise, Dongfang Shuo would more or less blame her for the imperial concubine's death today, which would be detrimental to their unity and progress as a couple.
Runxue understood the situation clearly in an instant. She took a deep breath, walked to Dongfang Shuo, and her fair and soft hands fell on Dongfang Shuo's arm, gently stroking him.
Dongfang Shuo was supporting himself on the tree trunk with one hand to steady his shaky body. He was angry and sad and wanted to destroy everything.
"Your Highness, the dead cannot be resurrected. If your mother knew you were like this, she would not be able to rest in peace in her grave."
Dongfang Shuo's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "My mother taught me carefully for many years and worked hard for me. However, before I could accomplish my great cause, she was murdered without even a day of my filial piety... Xue'er, I no longer have a mother from now on!"
Runxue's eyes were moist as she comforted him: "Your Highness, I understand your heartache. I am as heartbroken as you are."
Putting aside the relationship between her and Concubine Zheng as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Concubine Zheng's status in the harem alone was of great help to them.
Now that Concubine Zheng is gone, they have to find someone else to present to the emperor and establish their own power in the harem, which is really a bit difficult.
Therefore, Runxue was unhappy from the bottom of her heart.
However, the death of the imperial concubine was an indisputable fact. The queen had already sent Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to them, asking them to kill them. Now they absolutely could not let go of this opportunity.
For now, he should get rid of Chu Heyi and Xie Lin and consolidate some of his own power. There will still be time to deal with the Queen's faction later.
She always felt that Chu Heyi was a bit weird, and Xie Lin was very smart. The two of them joined forces many times to check the development of her and Dongfang Shuo. It was more difficult to get rid of them than to get rid of the queen.
Now that Concubine Zheng is dead, she can bring down Xie Lin and the others, so it can be said that Concubine Zheng's death was well deserved.
"But my husband, no matter how heartbroken we are, we must avenge our mother. This way, it will not be in vain for her to raise you."
Dongfang Shuo gradually came to his senses: "Yes, I want to avenge my mother! I will cut the person who killed her into pieces!"
Runxue said: "According to Lord Wen's investigation and the testimonies of the Queen and Concubine Xie, it can be concluded that our mother was murdered by Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. The abominable thing is that these two people are now on the run for fear of crime, and no one knows where they are!"
He added, "But don't worry, my husband. The emperor has already sent more people to hunt down Xie Lin and Chu Heyi across the country. They will be found soon. The emperor has also ordered that if they dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy. They will die for sure."
This was the only comfort that Runxue had felt in recent days. Chu Heyi and Xie Lin finally couldn't escape death this time.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes were filled with anger: "Killing just the two of them is not enough to relieve my hatred. I want the Chu and Xie families to be buried with my mother!"
Runxue said: "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has made great achievements in the war. The northern border cannot do without them now. The Xie family also has Concubine Xie to share the blame for Xie Lin. Concubine Xie has a princess by her side. It may be difficult to ask them to be buried with my mother."
Dongfang Shuo clenched his fists, suddenly looked somewhere, pursed his lips, he didn't say anything, but there was murderous aura all around him.
That night, Dongfang Shuo used the excuse of looking for Chu Heyi to rush into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion with a large number of guards. He took advantage of the situation and abducted the two youngest girls of the Chu family, Chu You and Chu Xin.
His long sword was placed on the necks of the two little girls, and the second lady was frightened to death.
"You must know where Chu Heyi is. Tell her that if she doesn't show up before dawn, I will throw her two sisters off the city wall to be buried with my mother!"
The two girls were still under Dongfang Shuo's sword. The second wife was anxious but helpless. She could only watch Dongfang Shuo carry the two girls to the top of the city wall, waiting for dawn to throw them off the city wall.
The news soon reached the palace, and the emperor was furious. "Has King Cheng gone mad? He is simply making trouble! Go and persuade him to release the people!"
The Queen consoled him, "Your Majesty, I think that although the method proposed by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is dangerous, it should be effective. I heard that Chu Heyi cares a lot about her family. If Chu Heyi hears that her two sisters are being held hostage by Prince Cheng, she might return on her own initiative, and we wouldn't have to search the whole country for them."
"Isn't Xie Lin willing to kill the imperial concubine for Chu Heyi? If Chu Heyi wants to return, he will definitely not be able to stop him."
Anyway, the death penalty has been sentenced to both of them, and Wen Tingshen will not be able to overturn the verdict in a short period of time. As long as they return to Shengjing City, they will be executed soon.
Only when they died could she rest in peace.
Therefore, the Queen also hopes that Chu Heyi and Xie Lin can return and die as soon as possible.
After the Queen's advice, the Emperor let Dongfang Shuo go. The Queen advised him to go and have a rest. "Maybe there will be news about Xie Lin and Chu Heyi in the morning. Your Majesty, please don't get angry for the two murderers, so as not to hurt your health."
After persuading the emperor to go to sleep, the queen also returned to Fengwu Palace. Things had developed to this point, and she didn't need to take any further action.
Next up is the drama of Dongfang Shuo and his wife forcing Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to death, and she has nothing to do with it.
When the Queen took off all the jewelry on her head and prepared to take a hot bath to have a good rest, Nanny An came in from outside with a panicked look.
His voice became tense and hoarse, "My Lady, Huai Qi, who is beside the Crown Prince, has sent a message saying that the Crown Prince also went to Huaishan yesterday evening, but was assassinated on the way. They have been searching for him for a whole day, but his whereabouts are still unknown."
