The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapters 257. Concubine Qiao Attacked Lu Jing Yu
Lu Jing Yu barged in past Consort Qiao and immediately checked Suri's mother's pulse. The Queen Mother was dead and there was nothing she could do to help her. He closed the eyes of the Empress Dowager who opened with her hands while shaking his head as he sighed looking at the old maid and the other servants who were instantly crying hysterically.
Lu Jing Yu recalled the Empress Dowager's murderer and turned around. Staring at Concubine Qiao with a mixed-up look.
"Concubine Qiao what did you do to grandma?" Lu Jing Yu looked at concubine Qiao asking for an explanation.
"Is our Crown Princess Royal Highness blind or stupid? I killed him of course." Concubine Qiao lowered her hands as she looked at Lu Jing Yu hatefully. All this because of this woman. If he had not helped Pei Zhang Xi gain the hearts of the People and bestowed additional points on him, Pei Zhang Xi would not have been worth it when compared to his son.
"Concubine Qiao, why are you doing that?"
"Why? Of course it's a worth it." Concubine Qiao replied indifferently.
"You're crazy Concubine Qiao."
"Yes. I was crazy. I'm bonkers. Ha ha ha ha!" Concubine Qiao did not feel guilty at all. He laughed out loud.
"Guard, catch concubine Qiao now. He killed the queen." Lu Jing Yu shouted as he glanced at Quan Yuan and the other guards waiting at the side.
But unfortunately, concubine Qiao was near Lu Jing Yu and quickly grabbed onto Lu Jing Yu easily. Pulling out the silver hair ornament from her hair and pointing it towards the delicate neck of Lu Jing Yu. With a light movement, the ornate tip scraped the skin of the neck and bright red fresh blood flowed.
"Gee!" Lu Jing Yu grimaced in pain. Everyone was panicking at the unexpected development.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone shouted in shock as they saw Lu Jing Yu's white neck pierced. Although it seemed like the wound was not deep, it was still deep enough to bleed.
Concubine Qiao's long hair was loose after her hair ornament was taken. It spread in a mess and partially covered his face. Coupled with the monstrous grin on her lips, her current appearance was very far from the graceful impression that all this time had always been maintained by pae Concubine. Concubine Qiao looked terrifying!
Quan Yuan was the one who reacted the fastest. After all, he was appointed by Pei Zhang Xi directly to be Lu Jing Yu's bodyguard. Naturally, he was the one most responsible for his safety. Even if something happened between Lu Jing Yu and Pei Zhang Xi simultaneously, he still had to put Lu Jing Yu's safety first.
"Don't come any closer!" Concubine Qiao who saw Quan Yuan advance threatened. He tightened his hand which held Lu Jing Yu's left hand. While his right hand held a hair ornament that was right in front of Lu Jing Yu's neck. Quan Yuan stopped. Lu Jing Yu's safety could not be at stake. If he accidentally triggered Consort Qiao's anger, he was afraid that the woman was acting recklessly. Even though it was merely a silver hair ornament, it was still a weapon that could be used to kill.
"Concubine Qiao, please don't act impulsively. Let go of the Crown Princess right now." Quan Yuan spoke firmly.
"You're just a lowly bodyguard. How dare you tell me, huh?" Concubine Qiao looked at Quan Yuan disdainfully.
"I forgive servant. But I had no intention of sending concubines, but I was just reminding."
"True concubine Qiao. If you don't release His Majesty immediately, you will definitely be severely punished for that."
"Ha ha ha ha! You trying to threaten me? You think it's gonna work, huh? I killed Suri's mother. It means I am no longer afraid of death. It makes no difference to me if I'm going to kill one more life.." Concubine Qiao sneered. He pushed the hair ornament in his hand and again pierced Lu Jing Yu's white neck. Blood flowed from the new wound. Lu Jing Yu grimaced once more as she felt that pain in her neck.
Lu Jing Yu glanced at Chu Fei and tried to send her a gesture to re-ignite concubine Qiao's emotions. Chu Fei was a clever girl. He instantly understood the meaning of the gesture Lu Jing Yu sent and spoke without hesitation to anger Consort Qiao.
"Hamba of course understands. But, it is still better if you deal with the Crown Prince. Have you never heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is a vengeful person? By killing the Queen Mother alone, it is enough to punish you with the death penalty. But that's for Suri's mother. What about the revenge for Her Highness the Crown Princess? If you die, to whom will His Highness the Crown Prince take his revenge?" Chu Fei looked at Concubine Qiao's eyes confidently. He sent out a threat through the look in his eyes.
"What are you trying to say?" Concubine Qiao looked at Chu Fei suspiciously.
"Speak clearly. I know that's not what you meant."
"Then what does Consort Qiao think of a lowly servant like this servant?" Chu Fei did not take her eyes off Consort Qiao's eyes at all.
"Don't you threaten me! That's not gonna work." Concubine Qiao who was angry from feeling being toyed stomped her feet furiously.Hair holding hands did not move at all from the front of Lu Jing Yu's neck but her strength had already greatly diminished.
Knowing that Consort Qiao had been off guard, Lu Jing Yu quickly found an opportunity and clasped the hand of Consort Qiao holding the hair ornament and bent it until Consort Qiao pitted and dropped the silver ornament in her hand until it fell to the ground.
Lu Jing Yu's left hand did not remain silent either. The hand was bent and poked Concubine Qiao's stomach as she pushed it with all her might. Concubine Qiao was unprepared for this surprise attack and was pushed far back. His soft body fell down and crashed into the table behind him. Make him complain and cry in pain.
Chu Fei did not miss the opportunity and quickly ambushed Consort Qiao. Holding Consort Qiao's hand behind her back. Then take the rope and tie it.
Lu Jing Yu who had just escaped the danger paid no heed to the wound on her neck and walked over to the lifeless body of the Queen Mother. Asking the old servant to cover Suri's mother's body and order the other servants to inform her of the news as well as the incident that had just happened to the Emperor who was still in the court hall.
Concubine Qiao did not keep silent the armpits knowing she had been arrested. He screamed hysterically asking to be released. But as he realized that he would not be released, he replaced his shout with another. Most of them were his grievances that he had been quieting for several years he was inside the palace.
The tense atmosphere that had previously been created due to Consort Qiao suddenly attacking Lu Jing Yu and even threatening her life was immediately shattered as they looked at Lu Jing Yu who was approaching the Empress in a hurry. They immediately did as Lu Jing Yu asked them to do.
The atmosphere in the palace was very tense that day. The rebels have been captured and subjugated in several places. Some of them were soldiers who were part of the imperial army that had been living at the border for quite some time. Most of them were unaware of the developments taking place in the capital as long as they were far away at the border. Such people are very easily influenced and deceived. Pei Zhong Min made use of this weakness to build his own strength.
Some of the others were soldiers sent from outside the empire. Pei Zhong Min had gone to several places to look for allies and had obtained a few of them. The most numerous were from the Xi'an Empire which was a small Empire that was under the rule of the Shao Empire. For this Empire, Pei Zhong Min promised that if they succeeded and that he had taken the throne, he promised to free the Empire from taxes for the next ten years.
Of course, with such tantalizing lure, an empire that had for several years had to submit under the rule of another larger Empire would be very easily tempted.
The old man that Mo Han had captured earlier was an envoy from this empire. Currently, he was tied together with the other rebels in front of the court hall.
The servant who set out to report this incident was Chu Fei. All of the maids in the Queen Mother's residence all felt extremely devastated and they would not be able to carry out this task properly.
