Chapter 247: Silence

Probably not, Shi Guifei said to herself.

She looked around to make sure no one was there, and she was moving very fast.

After thinking about it like this, she was a lot more settled.

But even if her actions are sharp, Queen Kuang must be willing to take the bait, so Concubine Shi kept praying in her heart, hoping that Queen Kuang would drink the bowl of soup as soon as possible.

Time passed again, and the others finished drinking the medicinal soup one after another.

Empress Kuang finally smiled and picked up the spoon on the table, ready to put it in the soup bowl and spoon the soup to drink.

"The Queen Mother." The third prince suddenly called her.

It was a small noise, but it startled the whole table.

Empress Kuang didn't know the reason before, but now she immediately understood. She immediately put the spoon down.

It turned out that the third prince specially sent someone to the imperial dining room to supervise it today, and arranged for someone to watch from a distance on the way from the imperial dining room to the family banquet hall, so Shi Guifei's every move was under his control.

"What's going on?" The emperor frowned and asked.

"Back to my father, my son wants to tell my mother not to drink that bowl of cold soup again." The three princes were busy reporting to the emperor. He didn't want to make it public in front of so many people.

"Oh, then ask someone to serve her another bowl of hot food." The emperor said with a smile.

"Then let's have a hot bowl." Empress Kuang said, putting aside the bowl and spoon from earlier.

Shi Guifei couldn't help but be frightened.

It seems that the third prince has already noticed something.

So what to do?

The third prince will definitely tell the emperor.

At that time, even if the emperor is willing to show mercy to his subordinates, it is impossible for Empress Kuang to spare her.

The more Shi Guifei thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't help but want to escape.

So she left her seat again on the pretext of the upper chamber.

The third prince immediately glanced at the two subordinates. And they followed.

After leaving her seat, Shi Guifei lifted the hem of her skirt and ran out.

However, she had not been far away before she was caught by the two men sent by the Third Prince.

They took her to the Wuying Hall according to the instructions of the third prince.

After the meal, the third prince attached himself to the emperor's ear and said, "Father, the son wants to tell you something today, let's go to the Wuying Palace for a while." The queen mother will go with her. ”

"What's the matter?" The emperor asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later, it's inconvenient to talk more in front of so many people now." The third prince said softly.

"Yes, I see." The emperor nodded.

So after the royal family took their leave, the third prince immediately asked people to take a piece of silver to try the spoon and bowl of cold soup in front of the queen.

Sure enough, when the spoon was tested, the entire silver needle quickly turned black.

The emperor immediately asked the third prince about the whole story.

The three princes told the emperor the scene he sent to see today.

"Go to the Wuying Hall immediately, I will interrogate her personally." The emperor said.

The third prince, Empress Kuang, and several other concubines followed.

"What else do you have to say?" As soon as he entered the Wuying Palace, the emperor asked Shi Guifei.

Shi Guifei knelt down with a white face and said: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, the concubine didn't know that it was poison, and the concubine didn't mean it." ”

"You don't know what it is, but you put it on a spoon? Do you think everyone is a fool? The prince asked as he looked at her coldly.

His eyes, which had always looked at her with tenderness, were now as cold as knives. Shi Guifei suddenly felt as miserable and helpless as an abandoned orphan.

"Concubine...... The concubine ...... "Concubine Shi's tears are like rain."

If it's on a weekday. The emperor would definitely be soft-hearted when he saw her like this, but today he was not moved at all, just looked at her expressionlessly and condescendingly.

"Queen, I'm sorry! It was the concubine who was confused for a while. Thank you for your kindness. Concubine Shi Guifei hurriedly knelt down towards Queen Kuang and said.

"Shi Guifei. The facts are in front of you. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I don't have a reason to help you anymore. Empress Kuang said in a calm tone.

"You don't have to help her, her actions today are unforgivable." The emperor said.

"Shi Guifei. It's not your idea, is it? The third prince asked.

Concubine Shi looked at the third prince with a surprised face. She knew from the expression of the third prince - he should know about her relationship with Yan Shichong.

Fear came over her like a tidal wave.

She hurriedly said, "I did this alone, and no one else has anything to do with it." ”

"Really? I want you to understand that if I find out, I'm afraid it's not just a few people who will suffer. The third prince said.

Shi Guifei did not answer.

"You have always been cowardly, you can't dare to do this alone, if you don't want to die too painfully, you can invite me to be honest." The emperor said sharply.

Concubine Shi didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at them, lowered her head and said, "It's really because the concubines covet the position of the queen that they made this decision, how can anyone dare to get involved in such a thing?" ”

The emperor said coldly: "Someone comes, take her to the prison and interrogate her on a later date." ”

Immediately, two guards walked in and pulled her up.

Her whole person was suddenly firmly controlled.

Why hasn't Yan Shichong come yet?

He said that he would come after the palace banquet, but now nearly half an hour has passed.

Suddenly, she realized that he wasn't coming today.

There's no way a person like him would mess up his own position for the sake of a woman in the district.

She smiled bitterly in her heart.

The two guards wanted to pull her away, but she suddenly looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, the concubine still has something to say." ”

"Say." The emperor closed his eyes and said.

"Please let them go first." Shi Guifei said.

The emperor thought for a moment and said to the two guards, "Let go of her first." ”

Anyway, there were nearly twenty guards standing outside, and he knew there was no way she could escape.

Shi Guifei knelt down and said: "The concubine has been with the emperor for six years, and she is loyal to the emperor, even if you don't think about the relationship between husband and wife, please let the concubine meet him again on the concubine is Ding'er's mother's sake?" ”

Zhu Changding is not yet four years old, and he is very much loved by the emperor on weekdays, but now when he hears her mention him, the emperor's heart suddenly softened a lot.

"Bring the Ten Princes up." The emperor said to the palace maid.

The palace maid immediately trotted to Zhu Changding's residence.

Soon Zhu Changding was brought by the palace maid.

"Mother." Zhu Changding trotted into Shi Guifei's arms.

Concubine Shi cried and hugged him tightly and told him a lot of words.

Empress Kuang sighed and rolled her eyes.

After the palace maid took Zhu Changding away, Shi Guifei suddenly hit the pillar on the right side at a very fast speed.

When everyone reacted, Shi Guifei had already slammed into the pillar with a bang, and then her head broke and bled out.

The crowd was shocked.

The emperor immediately called someone to pass on the imperial doctor.

However, before the imperial doctor arrived, Concubine Shi lost her breath in the emperor's arms.

The emperor was so grief-stricken that he couldn't stand up for a long time.

No matter what, Concubine Shi has given him a lot of happy memories in the past few years, and he can't be indifferent to her death after all.

The third prince and Empress Kuang had no choice but to sigh deeply when they saw this scene.

Yan Shichong learned the news in the middle of the night, and his whole body trembled suddenly.

But then he secretly rejoiced - so that he did not have to worry that his and her affairs would be known to the emperor. (To be continued......)
