She stood with her back to the wind, her red dress rustling, her long hair curled in front of her, strands fluttering in the wind.

There wasn't much expression on Chu Heyi's face, but his eyes were like ice, stern and cold.

The imperial concubine touched her ear and felt blood on her hand. The blood dripped down and dyed her purple cloak a dark color.

"Someone come here, Chu Heyi is trying to assassinate the Imperial Concubine, catch Chu Heyi!" Nuo Qing reacted quickly, protecting the Imperial Concubine and shouting loudly.

Chu Heyi showed no fear. He put three arrows on the bow and pulled the bow to its full length again. He walked in from outside the door, always aiming the bow at the imperial concubine.

Nuoqing protected the imperial concubine and retreated step by step until they were under the wall. There was no way to retreat, so they had to stop.

When the guards rushed over, they saw this scene:

Chu Heyi held a bow and arrow, aiming at the imperial concubine and Nuoqing. The master and servant were pale and trembling. The imperial concubine's injured earlobe was still bleeding, but she had no time to deal with it.

The two sides were twenty feet apart. At this distance, Chu Heyi could shoot the imperial concubine at any time. The imperial concubine became Chu Heyi's hostage, so the guards did not dare to act rashly. They could only surround the imperial concubine's bedroom and send people to invite the emperor.

As time passed, the weak-legged imperial concubine gradually calmed down.

"Chu Heyi, do you know what crime you are charged with for assassinating me? The emperor will definitely execute your entire family. I advise you to put down your bow and arrow and confess your crime! I can save the lives of your entire family!"

The noise was so loud that everyone in the backyard came over. No one was watching the Second Lady. The Second Lady guessed that something had happened up ahead, and she was worried about the children, so she also rushed over.

When she saw this scene, she almost felt dizzy and thought to herself that it was over. She couldn't protect Chu Heyi this time.

This kid must have heard that they were in trouble in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, so he came here with a bow and arrow!

Assassinating the imperial concubine is a capital crime!

The second wife’s first reaction was to kneel down and plead for Chu Heyi, and die in place of Chu Heyi.

However, just as her knees softened, Chu Heyi spoke first: "Second Mother, you are not allowed to kneel!"

She didn't look at the Second Lady, nor at the other sisters, but only stared at the Imperial Concubine with cold eyes.

"Anyone who kneels down to Concubine Zheng today will no longer be a member of my Chu family!"

When she was a child, she grew up in the countryside. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was coveted by country men, who intended to do something indecent to her when she was alone out working.

She cried and begged for mercy, and kept backing away, but this only made the other man more interested, and he pressed her under him.

In desperation, she grabbed a stone nearby and hit the man on the head. The man fainted and she was saved.

It was she who saved herself. If she hadn't picked up the stone, she would have become meat on the man's chopping board.

At that time, she was trembling all over and happened to see a poisonous snake. She knew in her heart that if this man woke up later and found that he was knocked unconscious by her, he would definitely bully her even more.

There were many girls in the village who were bullied by him. Some of them accepted their fate and married into their husband's family to work like slaves, while others chose to end their lives.

So, she hardened her heart, grabbed the poisonous snake that was pouncing on her by the weak spot, and put it on the man.

Later the man died.

Everyone believed that he fainted when his head hit a rock while he was avoiding a poisonous snake, and then he was bitten by the snake. He missed the best time for treatment and died on the hillside.

That incident made Chu Heyi realize that it was useless to give in. When the other party wants to deal with you, you will only have a chance of survival if you defeat the other party completely.

When the Second Madam heard her words, she straightened her limp legs, and the other children of the Chu family also stood up straight with their legs and backs.

The imperial concubine's face turned pale: "Chu Heyi, you assassinated me, not only did you seek death, but you actually wanted everyone in the Zhenbei Marquisate to be buried with you?"

"Your Highness, you are kidding me. If I don't seek death, will you let our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion go? Your Highness, have you forgotten why you brought all of them to your bedroom today?"

In her previous life, her Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was hunted down and killed by Chu Runxue and Dongfang Shuo just because she had military power.

Did they actively make mistakes at that time? No.

In the previous life, the Xie family was robbed because of their immense wealth, which resulted in the Xie family having no place to stay in Shengjing City. Did they make a mistake on their own initiative? No!

It can be seen that when someone wants to deal with you, it is not because you made a mistake, but because the other person is originally a bad person.

When facing evil people, if she is not cruel enough, she will die before fairness and justice come.

When a person dies, it’s like a light goes out. What’s the point of fairness and justice?

"You... aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill all your nine clans after he arrives?" The imperial concubine began to panic. She had never thought that someone would dare to point a bow and arrow at her.

And this person is Chu Heyi, she is just a woman! The imperial concubine had never thought that Chu Heyi had such courage!

"The imperial concubine took advantage of the fact that my father and brother were on the battlefield fighting against the Northern Zhou army and deliberately called my relatives to your palace with the intention of abusing them. The emperor invited my family from the Zhenbei Marquisate to the palace to treat my whole family well. If the emperor knew what the imperial concubine did, would he still favor her and make the soldiers feel disheartened?"

The imperial concubine's lips kept trembling.

"I invited them here because I pity them for living alone in Changqing Palace and feeling homesick. How can that be considered abuse?"

Whoosh! !

An arrow flew out, brushed past the imperial concubine's bun, knocked her hairpin off, and her long hair fell loose.

The imperial concubine's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees. Nuoqing hurriedly supported her.

"You...you, you dare to shoot an arrow!" The imperial concubine was both afraid and angry.

The guards tightened the encirclement, but did not dare to act rashly because Chu Heyi still had two arrows on his longbow.

"Your Highness, do you dare not accept the responsibility for what you did? I will ask you again, what is your purpose in inviting my second mother, my brothers and sisters to Yiyang Palace? Your Highness, think carefully before you answer, otherwise my next arrow will not only hit your hair."

The guards were all extremely anxious, but they did not dare to get close.

"I invited them to be my guests. What's wrong with that?" The imperial concubine firmly believed that Chu Heyi didn't dare to really shoot her, he was just trying to scare her.

She is a royal concubine, her brother is the prime minister, and her son has made great military achievements. How could Chu Heyi dare!

Whoosh!

Another arrow flew out and this time pierced the imperial concubine's arm. The pain made her face pale, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't help but wail.

Everyone around was frightened.

There was only one arrow left, and the arrow head was aimed precisely at the imperial concubine's forehead. As long as she shot it, the imperial concubine would die on the spot.

The imperial concubine was frightened to death. She didn't know whether the emperor would execute her entire clan for Chu Heyi's behavior. She only knew that if she didn't admit it, she would die before the emperor came!

Chu Heyi came from the countryside and didn’t know the palace etiquette or the laws of Daqi. She might really shoot herself to death!

"I invited them to Yiyang Palace to bully and humiliate them, but they were not injured and you came here. Put down your bow and arrow, and I will let them leave."

The imperial concubine was so panicked that she burst into tears, but she also hated it to the extreme.

When her son returns victorious, she will kill all nine clans of the Zhenbei Marquisate.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

The imperial concubine's eyes sparkled. The emperor had come to save her. She didn't need to wait for her son to return. She wanted Chu Heyi and his entire clan to be executed right now!
