Chapter 173: Death of Imperial Concubine Liu

Translator: 549690339

She had been with the Xie family for a long time, and she had heard her praise how satisfied Mother Xie was with her daughter. She had bragged about how much her daughter would enjoy after she got married.

In fact, whether she was satisfied or not could be seen from the betrothal gifts of the Xie family. It was definitely the standard of the royal family’s daughter marrying off, only more and not less.

Madam Xie was only relieved when she saw Mother Xie and Madam Yuan’s sincerity. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to control the big picture, and she wouldn’t be able to make a scene in front of Sikong Xiao.

“I heard that Xie Xian will return in at most another ten days to half a month…” When Xiao Baoxin suddenly heard the news about Xie Xian, his heart jumped, and even his breathing became hurried. Initially, she held her breath and wanted to listen to Madam Xie continue, but who knew that Madam Xie was obviously attracted by something else. She bypassed her gaze and looked behind her.

Immediately after, they heard the sound of gasps.

Xiao Baoxin turned his head abruptly, only to hear Princess Xuancheng’s heart-wrenching cries,””Mother!”

Immediately after, Empress Dowager Pan shouted,”Quickly summon the Imperial Physician! Quickly go and call the Emperor over!””

The imperial physicians were all men and had always been by the Emperor’s side. Most of the imperial concubines in the rear palace were female physicians, but when they saw that Noble Consort Liu’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bleeding, it was obvious that she had been poisoned and was not breathing.

“Empress, Empress.” Is Noble Consort Liu still alive?”

As soon as Noble Consort Liu fell to the ground, Empress Dowager Pan jumped three feet high in fright. She stood up and hid far away, her body as light as a swallow.

There were only Empress Dowager Pan, Empress Dowager Wang, and Noble Consort Liu in the harem. Other than them, there were no other concubines. There were only a few princesses sitting at the side to eat.

Empress Dowager Pan was sitting in the middle, and Empress Wang was sitting on either side of Noble Consort Liu. When Noble Consort Liu fell, she fell straight in front of Empress Wang, her fingers resting on her legs.

Empress Wang had been in charge of the harem for many years, but she had never seen anyone die in front of her. Moreover, it was such a small person who had just argued with her…

Her legs were trembling. If it weren’t for the palace maid beside her who had the eyes to help her up, she wouldn’t have been able to stand up by herself. She was still staring at the dying Imperial Concubine Liu.

The Empress Dowager was frightened. She had never seen a dead person before, so she was also frightened.

” 1,1 don’t know either. Someone, go and see Noble Consort Liu.”

Before she could finish her words, Princess Xuancheng had already fainted from crying. Her entire back was in a mess, and Empress Wang’s head was throbbing with pain.

“Aiyo, quickly lift Xuan Cheng off Noble Consort Liu’s body.”Empress Dowager Pan couldn’t stand it and quickly ordered the palace maids.

The palace maid gritted her teeth and avoided Noble Consort Liu’s eyes that were bleeding. Two or three palace maids dragged the princess of Xuancheng to one side.

It wasn’t just Empress Dowager Pan who was in a mess. The young ladies below also knew that Noble Consort Liu had bled to death from her seven orifices. No one dared to call out, but their hearts felt as if they had been pierced through.

Everyone knew that a person would not be good for a thousand days, and a flower would not be good for a hundred days. However, since Imperial Consort Liu had followed Emperor Yu Heng for more than ten years, she had been favored by the Emperor. Everyone in Daliang knew Imperial Consort Liu. She was a person who dared to challenge the Empress.

He actually died in front of everyone, so suddenly.

In the past one or two years, everyone could see that as the Xin ‘an King gradually grew up, the Emperor’s favor became more and more prominent, and he frequently bid farewell to the Crown Prince. Imperial Consort Liu’s heart was already clear.

If she died now, the ones who would benefit the most would obviously be the Crown Prince and his mother.

Whoever benefited was the biggest suspect. This was an iron-like law. When the young ladies were still in a state of shock, the various Furens had already arranged a whole drama in their hearts.

When Wei Desheng received the news, he had almost bitten off his teeth. The head palace maid beside the Empress Dowager was already scared out of her wits.”The Empress Dowager said to call the Imperial Physician, but…The Imperial Concubine was clearly already…He’s not breathing.”

No one knew more than Wei Desheng about the position of Noble Consort Liu in the Emperor’s heart.

He had never seen anyone in his life who could act as if they were the heavens and earth in front of Emperor Yu Heng and live more vividly than anyone else. Emperor Yu Heng felt a burning gaze behind him. He temporarily stopped talking to Sikong Xiao about Xie Xian and turned around to see Wei Desheng walking over with a solemn expression.

Wei Desheng was an old man by his side. As long as he was happy, Wei Desheng would always be smiling. Once he had thoughts that did not go his way, there was no trace of happiness on Wei Desheng’s face.

Such a twitching face was even more solemn than the death of his own mother…

Emperor Yu Heng’s heart skipped a beat, and his face darkened. Before he could ask, he heard Wei Desheng say in a pained voice,””The Empress Dowager has sent a message. She hopes that the Emperor and the Imperial Physician can go to the back of the mountain. Not too good.”

He didn’t dare to swallow the words ‘dead’ back into his stomach. Emperor Yu Heng’s face didn’t allow him to say such suicidal words.

Even when he heard that it was not good, Emperor Yu Heng had already stepped forward and kicked Wei Desheng hard.’Then why aren’t you answering me immediately? What are you thinking about? Call the Imperial Physician!” Before he could finish his sentence, he ran out like a gust of wind. Wei Desheng was dumbfounded and quickly called the eunuch carrying the palanquin to follow him.

“Emperor, emperor, there’s a carriage, you can take it!”Wei Desheng followed behind him and howled, then followed Emperor Yu Heng.

The Xin ‘an King was beside Xiao Sikong and was chatting with the Crown Prince. The Xin’ an King heard every word that Wei Desheng said. When he saw Emperor Yu Heng running towards the back mountain, he did not even think about it and followed him.

The Crown Prince frowned and his face was gloomy. He hesitated for a moment and said to Sikong Xiao,””I’ll accompany you for a while.”

Sikong Xiao cupped his hands.”

Only then did the Crown Prince take a few quick steps and follow King Xin ‘an to chase after Emperor Yu Heng.

“Brother, what happened?” Xiao Zhongcheng, who was shocked by Wei Desheng’s voice, walked forward and asked in a low voice.

Sikong Xiao,”I feel…” The sky is going to change.”

The Xin ‘an Prince and the Crown Prince were just ordinary people, but Sikong Xiao was a martial artist with sharp ears and eyes. When the palace maid reported to Wei Desheng with trembling hands, he had heard most of it.

Noble Consort Liu was actually dead.

Why did he seem to vaguely remember his daughter mentioning this Noble Consort Liu before?

When Emperor Yu Heng arrived on the mountain in his imperial carriage, the eunuchs almost broke their legs from running. However, when they looked at the hundred or so solemn madams and young ladies on the back mountain, they did not dare to breathe heavily.

This stance wasn’t right.

Before Emperor Yu Heng dared to step forward, Princess Xuan Cheng, who had long woken up, rushed into the Emperor’s embrace while wailing.”Father, my mother is dead.”

He was dead.

Noble Consort Liu was sprawled on the ground, bleeding from her seven orifices. Her face was already purple, but her back was facing Emperor Yu Heng, so he did not notice it at first. He only heard Princess Xuancheng’s heart-wrenching cries.

“What did you say?” Emperor Yu Heng grabbed Princess Xuancheng’s shoulder. Before she could answer, he pushed her to the side and threw himself at Noble Consort Liu. He flipped her over and almost threw her to the ground.

Mu stared blankly at Noble Consort Liu for a long time, as if to confirm that the person in his arms was indeed dead. Only then did he hug Noble Consort Liu tighter and tighter, and his voice turned from a soft whimper to a loud wail.

Other than the chirping of the birds, there was only Emperor Yu Heng’s cries in the back mountain..
