Chapter 83: Qiaoer committed suicide by taking poison and fearing crime
You Kouyi mentioned those old things to the Night King not just for chatting. She looked at the Night King coldly, arrogantly and persistently and said:
"Ye, my background has made me accustomed to intrigues and intrigues. I have also deeply felt the unwillingness to be forgotten only if I am not taken seriously. Therefore, I learned to seek. Facts have proved that since I was eight years old, I learned to use
Starting from the strategy to get the results I want, everything I want is in my hands. To this day, as long as it is what I want, I have never failed! Therefore, the phoenix seat where Ximen Yourong is sitting,
I’m bound to win!”
The Night King is actually very aware of You Kouyi's persistence engraved in his bones, so he is not surprised at all when he hears her such determined yearning!
Just like in the past, he was used to being tolerant of what she wanted to do, good or bad.
After sighing with a smile, the Night King went straight to the topic and said:
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
This was the first time she had summoned him since she became a noble concubine. He would not expect her to call him because she missed him.
The reason she was looking for him... was just because she needed him again!
Youkoyi was silent for a moment. She looked at the Night King and said:
"Since Your Majesty has taken great pains to make Ximen Yourong a holy queen in the hearts of the people, if on the contrary, she becomes a disaster for the people, I am very curious, can she still be "holy"?"
The Night King probably understood what You Kouyi wanted to do as soon as he heard this. He had no unnecessary words and just said:
"This is not the right time to act, otherwise it will only draw more attention from Emperor Dongling, which is definitely not a good thing for you."
"It's not that you can't move, it just depends on how you move!"
After quickly calming down and waking up, the light that flashed in You Kouyi's eyes was both proud and determined!
Of course she knew that she could no longer act rashly, but that didn't mean that she couldn't move at all.
Not only does she want to move, she also wants to buck the trend and regain the initiative. "Passiveness" has never been her choice...!
Under the cover of night, the unknown surge in the palace rose slightly and ended quietly!
At the beginning of the new sun, a small chamberlain from Longtai Palace came to Xiangyun Palace with Dongling Yuanyong's decree. The decree was very simple, just let You Kouyi go to Lengyue Palace.
You Kou knew in her heart that Dongling Yuanyong sent a young chamberlain to announce the decree. In fact, he was telling her that she no longer valued him!
This was expected, and You Kouyi would not be unable to accept it. When she came to Lengyue Palace with a calm mind, Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong, who had spent a warm and affectionate night, were having breakfast.
After accepting You Kouyi's prayer, Dongling Yuanyong said quietly:
"I asked the imperial concubine to come here early in the morning. I guess the imperial concubine hasn't had time to eat yet, right?"
You Kouyi leaned over and replied:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have indeed not eaten yet!"
"If Concubine You doesn't mind it, would you like to try the simple food here?"
When Ximen Yourong opened his invitation, she had already guessed Dongling Yuanyong's purpose in asking You Kouyi to come over. However, Dongling Yuanyong didn't explain his plan to her, so she just pretended not to know.
You Kouyi did not refuse Ximen Yourong's invitation, but when she joined them to eat meals like ordinary people's homes, she secretly sneered in her heart.
However, she was mocking herself. She had sincerely cooked exquisite and rich dishes for Dongling Yuanyong many times. He ate them, but the dishes on the last table looked as if they had not been touched.
But look at the meal in front of you, is there anything that an emperor should eat?
However, Dongling Yuanyong ate so much that there was almost no trace left...
After a simple meal, Dongling Yuanyong looked at You Kouyi sitting opposite, and then said:
"Concubine You, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"But it's up to your majesty and the queen to send you."
You Kouyi bowed her head in reply, and her gentle tone made Dongling Yuanyong twitch her lips slightly and said:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I recently learned that there are some unscrupulous people in the palace, and among them, there is someone hiding in the Lengyue Palace who monitors the queen's every move. I'm worried that there might be someone in your Xiangyun Palace who doesn't know how high the sky is.
Sesaku is lurking inside, so I want the imperial concubine to carefully check whether the people serving around her are all clean."
While Dongling Yuanyong was talking, it was Qiao'er who was refilling the tea for them, but his words didn't seem to affect Qiao'er, and she was still waiting aside as if nothing had happened.
On the contrary, You Kouyi became obviously nervous. She responded with a forced smile:
"I will pay attention, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern!"
Dongling Yuanyong flashed a smile without looking at her, turned to Ximen Yourong and asked pretending to be serious:
"Why does the Queen seem to be indifferent?"
"What is your Majesty referring to?"
Ximen Yourong didn't know which one Dongling Yuanyong was playing, but she cooperated calmly.
"I just said that someone in your palace is spying on you. Aren't you surprised? Or, in fact, you already knew about it, so you're not surprised?"
"Your Majesty is joking, how could I have known that there was someone spying on me... Furthermore, there are not many people waiting in front and behind my Lengyue Palace. They are very cautious and attentive in doing things. I see that everyone is honest and responsible.
, where does it look like a fine work?"
Ximen Yourong always felt that Dongling Yuanyong must have some bad intentions, so he "played" this kind of trick with her here. She didn't want him to lead the way and offend others.
Dongling Yuanyong's eyes flashed, and the hand he placed under the desk secretly held Ximen Yourong's hand and squeezed hard to express his dissatisfaction, but he said tepidly:
"Queen, although you have a stoic temperament, you are also a smart person. As the Queen said, there are only a few people coming and going in the Lengyue Palace. The Queen sees her every day, every day, so why doesn't she know that there are unclean people around her?
?Or, it’s not that the Queen’s eyesight is not bright enough and her brain is not strong enough...” Dongling Yuanyong paused and his eyes turned cold: “It’s that the shadow practitioners trained by the Enemy Sect are too powerful.”
Dongling Yuanyong's words made the maids and chamberlains waiting in the room look at each other. They understood what Dongling Yuanyong meant, but with a clear conscience, they were also secretly curious about who would be the master?
Qiaoer is the most indifferent person, she knows that today is the end of her life.
In fact, if she wants to escape from the palace, there is not a glimmer of hope. However, dying is her last loyalty to the Night King, and it is also the punishment for failing her mission!
At this time, Qiaoer's face lost the usual cute smile, only a look of cold death.
Just when everyone was waiting for Dongling Yuanyong's next words, Qiaoer knelt down and prostrated silently!
Dongling Yuanyong didn't look at Qiao'er, but looked at You Kouyi and asked:
"Concubine You thinks, how should I deal with such daring people? Kill them directly, or leave them alive to investigate and find out the person behind the scenes?"
Dongling Yuanyong's words actually clearly revealed that he was already aware of You Kouyi's role in it.
You Kouyi's face was full of panic, and her lips even trembled a little, making it obvious that she was afraid.
However, before You Kouyi could reply, the prostrate Qiaoer stood up and spoke first:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about how to deal with this slave. This slave knows that he has committed a capital crime, so..." Qiao'er's chest tightened, and she endured the pain that gradually appeared: "This slave will atone for her sin with death."
"Death?" Dongling Yuanyong said in a cold tone: "Before you die, should you explain who sent you to the palace to lurk beside the queen?"
"Since Your Majesty already knows that this slave is the shadow of the Enemy Sect, it is natural that the slave's master sent the slave into the palace."
"Who does your master take orders from?"
"The master doesn't take orders from anyone. Our "Yenmen" are just collecting money to do things."
"Whose money did you collect?" Dongling Yuanyong's tone was tepid. He took the teacup handed over by Ximen Yourong and took a sip.
"This slave only obeys orders and knows nothing else!"
"I don't know at all...!"
Bang ~
The dark black tea cup in Dongling Yuanyong's hand was thrown in front of Qiao'er. The broken porcelain cup splashed, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on Qiao'er's face who was closest to him, but she didn't say a word.
The others also knelt down and prostrated, not daring to breathe because of Dongling Yuanyong's sudden anger.
Ximen Yourong glanced at the deep red and black blood flowing out of Qiaoer's face, and she immediately knew that Qiaoer had taken poison in advance.
Sure enough, after a while, Qiaoer spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and then lay down dying.
Ximen Yourong frowned. She stood up and walked towards Qiao'er to have a look. Then she turned her back to Dongling Yuanyong and You Kouyi and secretly made a special gesture to Xiang Qing and ordered:
"Xiang Qing, take Qiao'er down and ask the imperial doctor to see if he can be saved. If not, send him out of the palace to find a place to bury him properly!"
Xiang Qing was stunned for a moment, but she quickly followed the order and took Qiaoer out without any question.
"Rong'er, she committed suicide out of fear of crime. Why do you care about her life and death?"
Dongling Yuanyong does not agree with Ximen Yourong's decision. Even if Qiaoer does not commit suicide today, he will not take her life!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Qiao'er is just following orders involuntarily. Besides, it seems like she won't survive, so just try to save her with good intentions!"
"She has done so much harm to you, why are you trying to be kind? What's more, this has to do with the royal family's reputation. How dare a low-ranking Jianghu sect dare to act arrogantly under the eyes of so many people? It's simply abominable!" Dongling Yuanyong snorted angrily. One sound!
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Qiao'er does deserve to die. It looks like she won't survive anyway. When she dies, I'll have someone take her out of the palace and bury her!"
Dongling Yuanyong actually didn't care how Ximen Yourong dealt with the shadow person of the "Yuanmen". His anger was not directed at Ximen Yourong, but was sent to You Kouyi.
You Kouyi naturally knew it well. She was tensed up and her whole person looked like she had no calmness or elegance at all.
"The imperial concubine has a bad look on her face, but are she frightened by this smoky atmosphere?" Dongling Yuanyong suddenly turned the conversation to You Kouyi.
"I...I am fine, I thank you for your concern...!"
"It's okay. I only have the queen and the concubine in my harem. You are the people I care about most, so I want you all to feel at ease, so I specially take you to clean up these people who want to make trouble. But I never thought that the shadow person would be so determined to die... The noble concubine was really not frightened, was she?"
Looking at You Kouyi's completely panicked expression, Dongling Yuanyong was actually not so sure whether You Kouyi's fear at this time was true or not?
