Chapter 972: The Empress is Dead
And the sudden pause was not a movement she did herself, an invisible force seemed to shackle her, she wanted to struggle, but when she was struggling, she felt her wrist as if she was being dragged by someone, and the direction of the blade turned from the string to herself.
The queen's pupils dilated little by little, and the reflection of the dagger became clearer and clearer.
She watched in horror, but could only watch the dagger get closer and closer to her.
The cold tip of the knife stabbed straight into her throat, and blood spurted out of her mouth like a spring.
The smell of blood filled the air, and as the body fell to the ground, the haze of death was several points thicker.
The queen kept convulsing her body, she wanted to say something, but the blood stuck in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
Blood continued to flow down the corners of her mouth, sinking into the mud, and the fishy smell even drowned out the original rancid smell.
Gradually, her convulsions became weaker and weaker, and the light in her eyes faded little by little, and finally she lost focus, and her eyes were open with only an infinite void and fear.
Looking at the queen who was no longer motionless on the ground, Xianyin just stood at her feet, condescending.
Blood soaked the soles of her shoes, but she didn't move, as if she were looking at not a man, but a slaughtered animal.
The night is as bright as water, and the breeze is a little cool.
A carriage slowly drove away from the Hou Mansion and disappeared into the night.
Mu Yang and Mai Sui sat at the front of the car, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of sweetness that had eliminated the barrier.
Inside the car, Su Xi leaned on Ling Juncheng's arms and yawned, looking a little sleepy.
"There's still some way back, so let's sleep on me for a while."
Ling Juncheng saw her tugging into his arms again, pulling the corner of his robe and covering her body.
It's about to enter early autumn, and the night is a little cooler.
Su Xi leaned on him and fell asleep.
These days, while she is worried about her father's body, and on the other hand, because she is worried about him, she can't sleep well every night.
At this time, all worries are removed, and as soon as the body relaxes, the eyelids can't support it.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep, almost at the speed of second sleep.
Halfway through the carriage, a figure suddenly hurried in.
Mu Yang hurriedly stopped the carriage, fortunately, his reaction was fast, did not cause the carriage to bum, while stopping the horses, he did not forget to stretch out a hand to protect the ears of wheat.
Mai Sui glanced at him, lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly.
In times of crisis, he also remembers to protect her.
After seeing the person in front of him, Mu Yang frowned.
He glared at the elusive Yuan Shen unhappily: "Yuan Shen, you are so reckless, don't you want to live!" The concubine fell asleep at this time, woke her up, and waited for the emperor to pick off your head! ”
Afraid of waking up Su Xi and having his head removed, he deliberately lowered his voice.
"I have something urgent to give to the emperor." Yuan Shen touched his neck, which was still there, and walked to the side of the carriage with a hard head.
"The emperor is angry, and his subordinates have no intention of disturbing the emperor and the concubine," he bowed respectfully, "There is a message from the cold palace that has disappeared, saying that the queen has killed herself." ”
In the car, Ling Juncheng glanced at Su Xi, who opened his eyes in a daze: "Can't sleep well?" ”
"I heard who said that someone killed themselves...."There have been a lot of things that have happened recently, and Su Xi still maintains some vigilance even if he sleeps.
So she heard Yuan Shen's words, but she didn't really hear them.
