The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Dark clouds rolled in, rain fell, the towering imperial palace sobbed in the heavy rain, and mournful sobs were heard, but were drowned out by the noisy sound of rain.

The rain was falling obliquely and blowing in from the window. Concubine Zhen was sitting on the couch, wiping her tears from time to time. She did not close the window. The ground near the window was wet in a large area, and even her body was covered with a trace of moisture.

Ever since she was confined to the Funing Palace, it gradually became a cold palace. Except for her trusted palace maids and maids who had followed her for many years, the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids served her according to her favor.

She didn't care much about her, and sometimes even mocked her. She also sent her trusted maids and nannies out.

Even if her sobbing could be heard, the people guarding outside either didn't want to care or didn't dare to care.

Only Luo Cheng dared to impersonate a palace guard and break into Funing Palace at night.

He held Concubine Zhen in his arms and forcefully wiped the tears from her face.

"I really don't understand why you are crying! Our plan is going smoothly!" Luo Cheng felt distressed and angry.

"The Crown Princess is Lan'er's savior. She and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had finally come this far, but we ruined it. Now the Crown Princess's life or death is still uncertain... Lan'er and I owe her a life. No, including the life she saved Lan'er earlier, we actually owe her two lives."

Concubine Zhen's face was pale and her eyes were red, making her look like a fragile porcelain figure, and tears were still falling.

She continued, "We have done evil things. How can people like us deserve happiness?"

Luo Cheng said forcefully: "It's done. I'll take you to Qianzhou and never come back in this life. I'll give you happiness!"

Concubine Zhen tried to push him away, but Luo Cheng grabbed her shoulders instead, very forcefully: "We have come this far, do you still want to regret it? This matter, we must succeed or die, we have no choice!"

Concubine Zhen let her tears continue to fall.

Luo Cheng continued, "Besides, you should be happy now! We have successfully sowed discord between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess has already left the palace and is even dead. This means that we are not far from success!"

Concubine Zhen's tears fell even more violently.

Luo Cheng said, "Be good, I will definitely be able to get away with you. The death of the Crown Princess has nothing to do with us. We just broke up the relationship between her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We never thought of killing her. If she dies, it can only be considered her bad luck!

"Don't blame us for her death. We did this just to stay alive and to be together for the rest of our lives! What have we done wrong? We did nothing wrong!"

Concubine Zhen: "Why do we have to stay together? We lived well even though we didn't stay together in the first half of our lives."

Luo Cheng gnashed his teeth and said, "But I've had enough of the pain of not being able to be together in the first half of my life. Why can I keep the Great Qixi Mirror but not you? I won't accept this!

"Now is the best time, and we will succeed soon. Don't give up. I won't allow you to give up!"

Concubine Zhen fell silent and did not respond to him. The rain was still falling outside the window.

……

The news that Chu Heyi broke up with Xie Lin and was chased and fell off a cliff after leaving the palace was delivered to Zhou Yuchi through the hands of "Zhou Mochi".

Zhou Yuchi was very excited when he heard the news. "Such a good thing has happened. Even the heavens are helping me! Chu Heyi is gone, and their crown prince is weak and vulnerable. Doesn't this give me a great opportunity to attack the Daqi Imperial City and take over Shengjing City?"

His confidant, Mr. Wan, immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations, Third Prince! Congratulations, Third Prince!"

Zhou Yuchi's eyes suddenly fixed, he turned around and sat on the chair, pondered for a moment, and said: "However, the news sent by my fifth brother is not so credible. What if this is false news, deliberately leading me to attack the imperial city, and I rushed in with my troops, and they surrounded and killed me right after I rushed in?"

Mr. Wan said, "What the Third Prince said makes sense. It's better to be safe than sorry. We should send a few more people to secretly enter the palace to get information and find out whether the Crown Princess is really dead."

Zhou Yuchi said: "Just do as Mr. Wan said, and ask General Luo to choose a good time and come to see me as soon as possible!"

Mr. Wan excitedly cupped his hands: "Yes!"

After ten days and a half of investigation, Zhou Yuchi finally confirmed that the information given to him by "Zhou Mochi" was absolutely true.

Now, he was waiting to join forces with Luo Cheng to attack the Daqi Imperial City and capture Shengjing City.

……

The Runxue couple, who were far away in Yanzhou City, also received the news that Chu Heyi had fallen off a cliff and his life or death was unknown.

Dongfang Shuo's first reaction was excitement: "God has opened his eyes. This hateful woman is finally dead! It's a pity that she didn't die in our hands!"

After he finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo realized that Runxue had been silent. He stepped forward and put his arm around Runxue's shoulders.

"Xue'er, why don't you say anything? Chu Heyi fell off the cliff and has not been found yet. She must be dead. There must be no complete body left. Aren't you happy?"

Runxue then raised her eyes and said, "The Chu Heyi I know has a strong vitality. She has been in the countryside for thirteen years, suffering inhuman torture and almost being insulted by a man, but she did not die;

"After escaping from the countryside, she fled for another year, fell into the water, and drifted downstream. Not only did she not die, but she was also recognized and taken back to the Chu family. She was like an indestructible cockroach. I don't think she should die so easily."

Dongfang Shuo asked, "Do you think she is faking her death? Deliberately deceiving us?"

Runxue shook her head: "We were not at the scene, so it's hard to say. People's vitality is sometimes very tenacious, and sometimes very fragile. Life and death are often just a matter of a moment.

"But I have a question. After she broke up with Xie Lin, she resolutely left the palace. Which force is hunting her down?"

Dongfang Shuo said, "We don't have the extra power to send assassins to hunt her down. Maybe it was Zhou Yuchi's people who did it, or maybe Luo Cheng secretly sent people to hunt her down in order to have a better chance of winning. After all, it was Luo Cheng who broke up with Chu Heyi."

Runxue said: "If we can't find out which force is hunting her, it is very likely that she staged this herself."

Dongfang Shuo: "Do we need to arrange some personnel to investigate?"

"Yes!" Runxue nodded heavily.

"We also need to arrange personnel to guard the various exits of the river and the cliff. Even if she staged this incident herself and took the initiative to fall off the cliff and into the river, we must make sure she can't find a way to survive."

"Okay!" Dongfang Shuo agreed immediately, with murderous intent in his eyes. He asked again: "Then, should Luo Cheng's plan continue to move forward?"

Runxue said in a cold voice: "Push forward. Anyway, Chu Heyi is not in Shengjing City now. Now that she has come out, we can't let her go back. Xie Lin - he can't do it alone!"

Dongfang Shuo smiled.
