Chapter 138 Chu Xiaozhu's Death
Chu Qianyu took out the soft sword from her waist and swung it towards Chu Xiaozhu's neck before she could come to her senses. In the blink of an eye, a red line appeared on her neck.
Chu Xiaozhu felt a chill on her neck, and immediately reached out to cover it. She tried her best but couldn't say a word. She stared at Chu Qianyu with fear and disbelief in her eyes.
Chu Qianyu glanced at the lifeless person lying on the ground, with no expression on her face, and turned to Meili. Meili quickly handed over the handkerchief she had prepared.
After taking it and wiping the blood off the soft sword, he said to Meili: "You take care of this. Oh, by the way, remember to get me another bottle of blood. I'm going to the dormitory. Come up to me when you're done." After saying that, he walked straight out of the cell.
"Yes." Mei Li responded respectfully and watched her leave before taking out her sword and walking towards Chu Xiaozhu.
Chu Qianyu arrived at the dormitory, walked to the dressing table, changed her appearance again, and turned into an inconspicuous woman. Then she picked up the wooden box on the table, opened it, and took out the bracelet that Mo Yinan gave her.
I looked at it carefully but didn't find anything special, except that the material seemed unusual.
The tail is connected by a lily of the valley flower, and the rest is a simple chain. It really suits her taste. After thinking about it, she decided to wear it and try it out next time she sees Mo Yinan.
Just as she put on the bracelet, Meili's voice rang out from outside the door: "Master, it's been handled."
"Okay." Chu Qianyu stood up, opened the door and walked out, and saw Meili holding a square wooden box wrapped in cloth.
"Master, the blood bottle is also in the wooden box."
He reached out to take it, shook it, and heard a swaying sound inside.
Chu Qianyu responded, "Okay, go and have a rest. I'll leave first."
In just half an hour, Chu Qianyu had already entered the palace through the underground passage in Situ Mansion. Only the clan leader knew about this passage, and even the current emperor was unaware of it.
She was even more familiar with the roads inside the palace. She dodged the patrolling guards, passed through the imperial garden, leaped over the corridor, and then walked along the palace wall to Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother was.
The sky was beginning to turn pale. In about half an hour, the concubines from all the palaces would come to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
Previously, the Queen Mother was only paid respects once a month, but because the Queen was suddenly confined, the Queen Mother was frightened, and Concubine Zhao received an order from the Regent, asking her to find a way to have the concubines in the palace pay respects to the Queen Mother this morning.
Although she didn't know why she had to do this, she still did it. She thought the prince must have his own intentions.
Chu Qianyu sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom without anyone noticing, then opened the package, took out the bottle of blood from the wooden box, and then put the package back in place. Holding the package, he walked carefully to the Queen Mother's bed, took out the incense and put it on her nose for her to smell.
The Queen Mother slept even more deeply this time.
She placed the package on the Queen Mother's bedside, opened the blood bottle and poured the blood down the Queen Mother's cheek. After a while, the Queen Mother's hair and face were all covered with blood.
The blood color in Chu Qianyu's eyes gradually deepened, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. After finishing all this, the sky began to brighten.
He walked to the table, spread out the paper, picked up the brush, dipped it in the trace of blood, and began to write: "Miss Chu's head has been taken, the mission is completed, I hope the Queen Mother will be satisfied."
Then he jumped onto the beam and found a secluded place to hide, ready to watch the show.
It was already 7:00 PM, and the Queen Mother should have gotten up at this time, but Nanny Ning waited outside for a long time and didn't hear the Queen Mother calling her. Thinking that the Queen Mother was frightened yesterday and didn't get a good rest, she slept longer today, so she didn't knock on the door to disturb her.
But after a quarter past noon, servants came to report that the concubines had begun to move towards Shoukang Palace one after another.
Nanny Ning had no choice but to turn around and knock on the door, saying softly, "Empress Dowager, it's getting late and the concubines are already on their way to you."
After a pause, he put his ear to the door, but still heard no sound from inside.
At this time, Concubine Zhao was the first to come in. Seeing Nanny Ning standing at the door with her ear pressed against it, she smiled and asked, "Nanny Ning, what are you doing?"
When Nanny Ning heard the voice, she stood up straight and bowed to Concubine Zhao, saying, "I didn't know Concubine Zhao was coming. I hope you will forgive me for my impoliteness."
"It's okay. Is the Queen Mother awake?"
"Not yet. Maybe I got a little scared yesterday, so I got up a little late today. Please wait here for a while, Concubine Zhao. I will go in and tell them right away."
But Concubine Zhao thought about her actions just now and felt that something was not right. She took a step forward and asked, "You called the Queen Mother just now and there was no reaction at all?"
Nanny Ning hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Go in quickly and see if something happened to the Queen Mother." After saying this, Concubine Zhao quickly walked up the stairs, her face looking much more serious.
Nanny Ning also noticed something was not right. Logically, the Queen Mother would have woken up after hearing the noise, but it was still quiet inside.
He quickly turned around, pushed the door open, and trotted in.
Before she reached the empress dowager's bed, she saw a pool of blood. Nanny Ning's legs suddenly went weak and her heart began to beat violently.
"Ah~" When Concubine Zhao saw the Queen Mother's face covered in blood, she screamed in fear and took several steps back. Fortunately, a maid supported her from behind and she did not fall.
Nanny Ning felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. What happened? There were people guarding outside all night. Could it be that an assassin had come in? Thinking of this, she became even more frightened. She suppressed her inner trembling and moved towards the Queen Mother.
He placed his hand under the Queen Mother's nose and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and feel the air carefully. He felt that she was still breathing slightly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madame Ning? What are you doing?" The Queen Mother just woke up and saw Madame Song put her hand under her nose. She was a little puzzled.
"Why are my eyes a little blurry? Can you take a look at what's wrong?"
The Queen Mother's words frightened Nanny Ning so much that she almost jumped up again.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother couldn't see clearly at the moment, so she didn't notice that something was wrong with Nanny Daoning.
Before Nanny Ning could reply, Concubine Zhao heard the Queen Mother's voice and hurried forward and said, "Queen Mother, are you awake? I was so scared. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother was a little puzzled. She stretched out her hand and motioned for Nanny Song to help her up.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Zhao took a step back, resisting the urge to vomit and saying, "I don't know who broke in last night. Maybe it was an assassin. Your face is covered in blood now."
After saying this, I thought to myself, could this be the work of the Regent? This is too...
The prince only told her to find a way to get all the concubines here and spread what they saw in the Queen Mother's Palace. Could it be the matter of the assassin who broke in?
But she felt that it was not that simple. Never mind. She would just wait and see.
