Concubine De was supported by the palace maid, and she stumbled out of the sedan chair. As soon as she stepped into the Ganquan Palace gate, her whole body was so weak that she fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" The eldest palace maid Huaping hurriedly helped her up, "My Majesty, are you okay?"

fine?

Concubine De was helplessly helped up, almost half dragged and half carried up the stone steps in front of the palace. Two palace maids helped her into the palace, walked to the couch and sat down.

Concubine De was tired and numb, leaning against the brocade couch. Her whole body was lifeless, and her face was so pale that there was no blood at all.

Huaping poured her a cup of tea: "Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea to warm yourself up."

Concubine De stared at the tea in her hand, her eyes turning from blank to resentful. She suddenly grabbed the tea cup and threw it to the ground: "Bitch!"

Huaping and other palace maids turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"You bastard, I don't deserve to love her so much!" After the concubine de cursed, she suddenly cried heartbreakingly, crying with despair and resentment, "Yan Donghuang, why am I sorry for you, why do you want to kill her like this? ! What the hell happened to you?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Huaping stood up hurriedly to stop him, "Be careful with your words and deeds, be careful with your words and deeds!"

"My mother family is gone, what else is there to be afraid of?" Concubine De's voice was sharp and her expression was twisted, "I will not let her go, I must make her pay the price!"

She must make that bitch Yan Donghuang pay the price!

"Sister De Fei!" A woman stepped into the palace door in a panic, "I heard that the emperor is going to make the eldest princess the crown princess? Is this true? Isn't it a rumor?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was shocked when she saw Concubine De's face as pale as paper: "What...what's going on?"

This woman is a noblewoman of Wei, who lives in the Ganquan Palace of Concubine De and is under the jurisdiction of Concubine De.

Wei Guiren is young, only twenty-eight years old now. He entered the palace late, has a low status, and has no heirs. In addition, he is a good-looking person and is used to being a lowly person. He lives a pretty good life at De Fei's house and has not been bullied much.

Concubine De had a temper, and would lose control when she didn't get her way, and would even cry or throw tantrums, but Wei Guiren had never seen her look so embarrassed... as if she had just experienced a huge blow.

She couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart.

Concubine De looked at her coldly: "Are you here to see my joke?"

Mr. Wei quickly knelt down and said, "I don't dare to do this. Please tell me."

Concubine De held her head and sneered again and again: "I can't protect myself now. Even if you laugh at me, I can't do anything to you."

Since the emperor had ruthlessly executed the entire Chu family, why would he care about her as a virtuous concubine?

If she dares to do anything inappropriate, the emperor will bring her down at any time.

Concubine De lowered her eyes, a hint of cruelty after despair flashed in her eyes.

She cannot lose her status as a concubine.

Even if she is not favored, even if the emperor hates her, she must keep this position so that her son can have a chance to make a comeback.

"Get up." Concubine De's voice was tired and weak, "The emperor did appoint Yan Donghuang as the crown princess, and for this reason, he also killed my brother - just because my brother spoke out against the princess becoming the emperor. , the emperor did not hesitate to issue an order to kill the entire Chu family. "

Wei Guiren's face turned pale, and he was panicked: "Then...then the empress just accepts her fate?"

Concubine De sarcastically said: "What can I do if I don't accept my fate? I have treated Yan Donghuang sincerely for so many years, but I didn't expect to raise a jackal. I am blind. I deserve to end up like this!"

Wei Guiren was horrified. He did not expect that the emperor would actually have the desire to establish an emperor's daughter.

She composed herself: "If the eldest princess is really allowed to become the emperor, the lives of Imperial Concubine De and His Highness the Second Highness may be at risk. Madam, the emperor is dying and his time is running out. We must think of a solution as soon as possible to change the situation." The Emperor’s decision.”

Concubine De looked at her blankly, and suddenly thought of the account books and rosters in Yan Donghuang's hands, and a strange light appeared in her eyes: "Yan Donghuang found a roster and several account books in the Chu family. If I remember correctly, I , your father’s name should also be on the list.”

Wei Guiren's face turned pale.

That's what she's worried about.

It would be fine if the Chu family were directly interrogated, but if the Ministry of Punishments interrogated them, or the eldest princess continued to investigate officials who had interests in dealings with the Chu family, the Wei family would probably not be able to escape death either.

Wei Guiren clasped his hands and told himself to calm down.

She should now find a way to turn the tide.

"Your Majesty, on what day did the Emperor issue the decree to kill the Chu family?

"...Tomorrow." Concubine De tightened the handkerchief in her hand and stared at Guiren Wei, "Do you have a way to rescue them?"

Wei Guiren's expression changed, "Tomorrow?"

So you only have one day to think of a solution?

Wei Guiren's mind was spinning rapidly, and after a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "Please step aside, please."

Concubine De raised her hand: "You all get out."

Huaping stood up, bowed and retreated with all the palace people.

"Empress." Mr. Wei took a step forward and whispered, "If the emperor were to die suddenly..."

Concubine De's heart skipped a beat.

"The emperor is going to die anyway." Wei Guiren gritted his teeth, "As soon as he dies, the princes will immediately fall into a struggle for the throne. Who will agree that Yan Donghuang will be the emperor? The crown prince ceremony has not yet been held. At that time, all the princes have to do is insist that the emperor is the emperor. People are deceiving... The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would not agree to a woman inheriting the throne."

Concubine De was frightened when she heard this.

She wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak. She could only sit back and slowly shook her head: "No, Yan Donghuang has military power in his hands. If there is really a civil strife, she is still the most confident."

"Have you forgotten about Sheng Jing'an?" Concubine Wei narrowed her eyes. "Sheng Jing'an is the princess's fiancé and has inherited the title of the Duke of Zhenguo. The old Duke's wife has just lost her husband and needs company and comfort. If she invites Yan Donghuang to the Duke's Mansion, will Yan Donghuang not go?"

De Fei twisted the handkerchief in her hand, thought about it, and nodded slowly: "You are right."

"The princess and Sheng Jing'an are childhood sweethearts. They have a deeper relationship than ordinary people. She should trust Sheng Jing'an." Concubine Wei took a deep breath. "Concubine De can find a way to get some colorless and tasteless poison and let the old lady put it in Yan Donghuang's tea. As long as Yan Donghuang dies, the emperor will die suddenly... The princes will start to eye the throne and should have no time to take care of the Chu family. Wouldn't this buy time for the Chu family?"

De Fei looked terrified.

Let the emperor die suddenly and poison Yan Donghuang?

This is an extremely dangerous thing. If you are not careful... If you are not careful, the whole family will be killed.

Concubine De was flustered, and then she thought that the Chu family was in danger and would die tomorrow. What could be more terrifying than this?

Is there any difference between killing three clans and killing nine clans for her?

As long as there is a little hope, she should not give up.

"If the old lady can't do this, isn't there Princess Fengyang?" Concubine Wei thought about it, and her voice became a little colder, "Princess Fengyang and the eldest princess have the best relationship. They have depended on each other since childhood. If Princess Fengyang takes action, the eldest princess will definitely fall into the trap."

Concubine De tried her best to calm herself down, nodded slowly, and murderous intent gradually emerged in her eyes.

She was right.

For the Chu family and Yan Ming, she could only take risks.

Yan Donghuang, don't blame me for being cruel.

You forced me to do all this.
