The blade fell without any accident, but it hit her left shoulder. Her clothes were cut, and the frost-white middle coat immediately showed a trace of blood.
Feng Yinwan's confused consciousness regained consciousness for a moment because of the sharp pain.
"Who!"
She turned around very quickly, but was the first to receive a palm on the back of her neck. Before she could see the assassin's face clearly, her vision went dark and she completely lost consciousness.
…
"Dead...dead!"
In the silent palace road, a shrill scream suddenly spread. The palace maid held the food box and crawled away. However, before she could make another sound, a strong force suddenly kicked her in the knee, and she was immediately kicked.
Fall to the ground.
"How unruly! How unbecoming is it to yell in front of the imperial concubine! If you disturb the empress's holy chariot, be careful, the emperor will chop off your head!"
Seeing clearly that the person in front of her was Concubine Li, the palace maid's face turned pale again, and she immediately got up from the ground and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was frightened and frightened for a moment. I never meant to disturb you..."
"How dare you talk back!"
The maid in charge raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward to slap her, but on the carriage, Concubine Li spoke warmly.
"Cloud Sleeves."
The palace maid stepped back in response. Concubine Li glanced at the kneeling palace maid with a half-full of her eyes, and raised her lips, "No noise is allowed in the harem. Which palace are you from? Why were you yelling just now?"
Concubine Li is in the harem and shares the same position as the deputy empress.
The maid did not dare to delay, so she said calmly, "Go back to the imperial concubine, I am a maid from the Yuxiu Palace. I just went to the imperial dining room to get food and passed by here. Who would have thought... I saw a dead man lying on the ground. In panic
, then I was at a loss and forgot the rules..."
"Absurd! How could there be a dead person on the palace road in broad daylight! It seems to me that you are the one who bumped into the imperial concubine and still refuse to admit it. This is how the noble concubine Yu teaches you all the time?!"
"Auntie, I don't dare to lie. There is indeed a dead person on the gravel ahead... there is a dead person!"
She shook her head in panic, her body was shaking like chaff, and it didn't look like she was lying.
Concubine Li raised her eyes a little and saw that there was indeed a dark shadow on the gravel, and immediately nodded.
"Go over and have a look."
"yes."
Yunxiu responded, and immediately went forward. As soon as he got closer, he saw the unconscious woman beside him, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Empress, there is indeed a person, a woman."
She is a woman, but not a woman in the harem.
Concubine Li frowned secretly, "Go over."
When the servants came forward with the sedan chair, Yun Xiu had already helped the woman on the ground up. The palace maid immediately trembled when she saw this.
"My dear concubine, I really have never lied to you. This woman..."
"Princess Mo?!"
Before the palace maid finished speaking, Concubine Li's expression changed suddenly when she saw Feng Yinwan's face clearly, her eyebrows condensed, and she immediately ordered her to get off the sedan chair.
"Get off the sedan quickly, I will go down and see for myself!"
"嗻."
The moment the sedan chair came down, Concubine Li rushed down from the brocade seat. Yun Xiu was shocked when she saw this.
"Empress..."
"Princess Mo is injured?!"
The knife on Feng Yinwan's shoulder penetrated deep into the bones, and blood was pouring out now. Most of her upper body was stained. No wonder the palace maid just called her a ghost!
The blood was still warm, so he must have been injured not long ago. He just lost too much blood and passed out.
Concubine Li's eyes froze, and she immediately raised her hand to take her over, "I will take her back first, and you can quickly order someone to send the imperial doctor!"
Yunxiu didn't recognize Feng Yinwan, but he also knew Princess Mo's name. He was slightly startled when he heard this, but he hesitated to speak.
"Your Majesty, as a destined wife, how could Princess Mo appear in the harem for no reason and suffer such serious injuries? Can this matter be repeated..."
Concubine Li has been favored for many years. Although the queen did not express her dissatisfaction, she mostly targeted them in private.
Now that Feng Yinwan was injured, but he happened to appear near Chunhe Palace, there was no guarantee that he had an ulterior motive.
Concubine Li naturally also knew.
"I can't worry about so much anymore. Go and ask the imperial doctor to come!"
"yes."
At the end of the palace road is Chunhe Palace. The palace maid helped Feng Yinwan down from the sedan chair, and Yunxiu came with the imperial doctor at the back.
"I am here to see you, the noble concubine."
"Call Dr. Zhao. I just met Princess Mo on the palace road and was seriously injured. Please come forward and see how to diagnose and treat her."
Rao was a highly qualified imperial doctor, but his expression changed when he saw such wounds.
"Empress, Princess Mo, this..."
"Diagnose and treat with all your heart."
Seeing this, the imperial doctor also knew whether to ask more questions. He nodded and bowed, and then said, "Please order someone to move Princess Mo into the palace."
To diagnose and treat the injury on her shoulder, the clothes must be cut open. There are many people outside and it is really not appropriate.
Several people worked together to carry Feng Yinwan to the small couch in the main hall. The imperial doctor followed tremblingly behind. Just as they were about to step forward, the door of Chunhe Palace was suddenly opened.
The expression on Concubine Li's face changed in an instant, and Yun Xiu had already led the eunuchs out.
Seeing that it was the Queen, her eyes became even more intense, "The Queen suddenly came to visit, I don't know..."
"Get out of the way!"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Queen who shouted coldly, "There are assassins in the palace. I am leading the Royal Guards to conduct a thorough investigation of the Sixth Palace. Where is Concubine Li? Why can't I see her at this hour?"
Behind her were Qin Rulian and a group of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as the Royal Forest Army guarding her. Yun Xiu did not dare to act recklessly.
"Reporting to the Queen, the noble concubine is taking a nap in the palace. Please wait for a moment, and I will go and ask the Queen to get up."
"presumptuous!"
Before the queen could speak, the maid behind her had already spoken.
"The Empress is the master of the harem. When she comes to Chunhe Palace in person, Concubine Li is a concubine. It would be disrespectful not to come out to greet her in person. She actually dares to ask the Empress to wait outside. She is treating herself as the master of the harem!
"
"What Su Xi said makes me a little confused. The Queen Mother is now in good health, and it is natural to deal with the affairs of the harem. How dare I, a concubine, be so unfilial and disrespectful, and go to the Queen Mother's head?"
When she pressed her head with the Queen Mother, the Queen's face became gloomy, and she immediately spoke slowly.
"Concubine Li, as a queen, I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of the harem. Now there is an assassin in the palace, and the entire palace must be searched. My sister, you have always been a person who knows the general situation. I am sure you will fully cooperate with such important matters."
Concubine Li nodded, "I will naturally cooperate with the Queen Mother's order, but I don't know if there is an assassin, but there is one in the patient's palace."
"oh?"
The Queen raised her eyebrows secretly, but her face showed no surprise at all. Concubine Li raised her lips and waved her hand to order everyone to leave.
"Your Majesty, you will know when you go in and take a look."
When the queen led people in, the imperial doctor was cleaning Feng Yinwan's wounds. The blood-stained cloth strips around them had been cut open, revealing the horrific stab wounds underneath.
The queen's eyes flashed darkly quickly, but her voice was filled with surprise.
"Is it Princess Mo?!"
"Concubine Li, what's going on? Why does Princess Mo appear in your palace like this?!"
