Deceiving the Emperor and committing treason.
Confusing the royal bloodline.
Harming the concubines.
Instructing subordinates to poison and fra the Dong Family.
Completely disregarding the lives of the people.
Arbitrarily using the National Treasury to satisfy personal desires.
One by one, each of these acts warrants death.
"In consideration of your so-called status as a ritorious family’s descendant, I grant you a whole body. Would you prefer a white silk or poison to end it imdiately?"
End it imdiately.
Upon hearing these four words, Imperial Concubine Yi let out a tragic laugh.
Knowing she couldn’t escape today.
But she never thought that the Emperor, whom she had accompanied for many years in the palace, could be so heartless.
Even though she had no affection for the Emperor.
Even though she indeed committed the cris just ntioned.
She couldn’t accept being sentenced to death and having her cris declared in front of so many people.
So, even though she collapsed to the ground, there was no fear in her eyes.
"Grant white silk? Grant poison wine? Yu Wenhong, do you think you’re worthy?"
Yu Wenhong, was the Emperor’s na, and for Imperial Concubine Yi to utter it like this, she truly must have been courting death.
The Empress Dowager watched coldly, her disdain for the Liu Family no less than that of the Emperor.
"Presumptuous, do you think you can casually call the Emperor’s na?"
Dong Yuzhong imdiately rebuked her.
Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Yi didn’t regard him at all.
With a mocking smile, she stood up.
"If you want to sentence to death, have you considered whether my grandfather and the Liu Family would agree? Has your long tenure on the throne made you forget who helped you ascend to your position?"
"Back then, as a widowed mother with a young child, without my grandfather’s favor, would you and your mother still have today’s glory? What a joke!"
"Grandmother was right, ingratitude is the face of the Imperial Family."
She cursed fiercely, but in her heart, she was always waiting.
Waiting for the courtiers outside to quickly deliver the ssage to her grandfather.
If her grandfather knew, he would surely co to her rescue.
Unfortunately, what she was thinking in her heart, the Emperor also knew.
Glancing at the Fourth Prince, he saw him step forward and take out a complete geographical map.
He then calmly said,
"Could it be that Imperial Concubine Yi is waiting for your grandfather, the Marquis of Northwest, to co to your rescue? If so, I advise you to submit quickly, see what this is?"
After speaking, he threw the map on the ground.
Imperial Concubine Yi picked it up, puzzled.
On it was a map of Shengjing City, but with several red circles marked inside.
Seeing Imperial Concubine Yi’s confusion, the Fourth Prince explained.
"These days, your third uncle hasn’t been idle in the city, hoping to plant explosives and destroy Shengjing City, thinking that this way he could wipe out the Imperial Family, allowing the Liu Family to enjoy high positions? Simply a fool’s dream."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Yi couldn’t believe it.
"Nonsense! Total slander! How could the Liu Family do such a thing! Besides, my son is designated as the Crown Prince, in a few years, he will ascend the throne, what efforts would my grandfather and third uncle make for that!"
"Calling you a fool and you truly are! If the Third Prince was really from the Liu Family, perhaps your plan could work, but the Third Prince is Consort Qian’s son, why would the Marquis of Northwest support him to ascend to the throne?"
Scolded by the Fourth Prince, Imperial Concubine Yi was utterly dumbfounded.
Over the years, she had treated the Third Prince as her own son, but she never expected the Liu Family had other plans.
This ti her grandfather returned to the Capital City, she always believed it was to mourn her cousin, and to stand up for her.
Unexpectedly, it had turned out to be a plan to bomb the Royal City!
They had long abandoned her and the Third Prince.
The pride she held in her heart suddenly snapped.
So she glanced outside the hall where there was still no movent.
She left behind a trail of clear tears.
Then shouted out,
"Heaven is unjust, I, Liu Xu’er, for the glory of the Liu Family, endured silently for so many years, continuously competing with the fools of the harem! And this is my end! Grandfather, are you truly going to abandon Xu’er?"
Recalling past monts of deep family affection, her heart filled with despair.
The Fourth Prince thought she was going crazy, but he didn’t expect her next sentence to be.
"Yu Wenhong, don’t think you can sow discord! Slander my grandfather’s love for ! Just wait, your ti will co! When this land is trampled by iron hooves, it will be the day my grievances are redressed! Grandfather will not spare you, nor will he spare the Great Wei Dynasty!"
After speaking, she let out a burst of laughter.
Then she pulled out the hairpin from her head and plunged it straight into her heart.
Her action was so ruthless that everyone present scread in fright.
After stabbing herself, she remained conscious.
Staggering forward a few steps, she was kicked decisively by the Fourth Prince.
Rolling to the center of the hall, her luxurious clothes were soaked with blood.
She looked at the outside of the hall, unable to close her eyes in death!
anwhile, Ruan Ming, who had been completely unable to move, wailed in pain upon seeing the tragic end of Imperial Concubine Yi.
His face turned increasingly red, and the veins on his neck grew more prominent.
Suddenly, in a mont of rage, he died.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices at the ti of death.
More terrifying than being haunted by a vengeful ghost by threefold.
Imperial Concubine Yi died.
She died a very tragic death.
Her eyes still fiercely glared towards outside the hall.
As if she was about to turn into a vengeful spirit, leaving the entire Imperial Family restless.
Unfortunately, such a scene frightened the Palace Attendants but couldn’t threaten the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
The iron hooves she ntioned, what did they imply?
Surely everyone knew the aning in their hearts.
The implication was that the Marquis of Northwest intended to rebel?
Even if they didn’t rebel, they were likely colluding with enemy countries to plan a coup.
Such actions, how could the Emperor and Empress Dowager tolerate?
They decisively ordered,
"Fourth Prince Uncle!"
"This old minister is here!"
"Imdiately lead five thousand elite soldiers to surround the Northwest Marquis Mansion, bring the Marquis of Northwest to see , I want to see how this sick Marquis knows about his granddaughter’s attempt to overthrow the Da Wei Dynasty!"
"Yes, this old minister will obey the order!"
On New Year’s Eve, while everywhere was brilliantly illuminated celebrating the festival.
The Fourth Prince led a group of elite soldiers directly to the Northwest Marquis Mansion.
Unfortunately, by the ti they arrived, the place was already deserted.
Only a Liu Family old lady, who was half alive, remained drinking her dicine.
When the soldiers broke in, it scared her breathless, nearly causing her to die on the spot.
And the servants they captured knew nothing.
As for the gravely ill Marquis of Northwest, and his younger son Liu Qichun, who had returned for mourning, they had vanished without a trace.
Along with them, naturally, went his beloved concubines who were already pregnant.
The snow covered the horse’s hoofprints, so people disappeared without a trace.
The Palace Attendants washed away the bloodstains in the hall, soone lost their life there.
As the dawn broke, the 20th year of Yuanhe officially began.
