"Good. Kill them all!" Concubine Chu chimed in, her eyes full of provocation, as if she were egging on the woman in front of her.
After Concubine Dong finished speaking, she threw her head back and laughed. As she laughed, tears rolled down her face. Her crying and laughing at the same time was really creepy. Concubine Chu couldn't stand to watch anymore. She casually took something out of her bosom and handed it over.
It was just an ordinary dagger. But in the hands of a resentful and mentally unstable person, it could be the best weapon.
After Concubine Dong took the dagger, she heard the woman in front of her say, "Go. Use this dagger to kill the people you want to kill!"
After saying that, Concubine Chu didn't stay any longer. She knew that if she stayed for too long, she would surely arouse others' suspicion. So it was better to leave quickly, for Concubine Dong had already been incited by her and was full of murderous intent.
Concubine Dong, who stayed in place, stared fixedly at the dagger in her hand. Then she laughed and put it in her bosom.
Good. She would use this dagger to kill the people she wanted to kill...
Seeing that it was getting late, Dongfang Yi left the Qianqing Palace. Although Helian Qi had the intention of keeping her, she knew him well. His body hadn't fully recovered yet, and he had to go to court the next day to explain things to the ministers. Staying here would only make him more worried.
So she returned to the Queen's Palace. When Donghua saw her coming back with a beaming face, she couldn't help but tease her, "Sure enough, Your Highness is only this happy after seeing the Emperor. This servant is really ashamed!"
The implication in her words was obvious. Dongfang Yi frowned immediately. Without much explanation, she replied in the same tone, "Oh, I wonder who is secretly planning to marry another man and even secretly making a private pledge of marriage. How shameless!"
She emphasized the words "how shameless" and didn't forget to glare at the woman in front of her.
Donghua was immediately rendered speechless. She lowered her head with red ears and whispered in defense, "I didn't..."
Seeing her like this, Dongfang Yi couldn't help laughing. She thought to herself, little girl, you still want to fight with me. Don't you know who I am? I'm the most eloquent person in Dongsheng!
Thinking of those who were eloquent, she couldn't help but think of Su Luo, whom she met outside the palace. That little girl was also very good. Her mouth kept chattering non - stop. Even Dongfang Yi had to admit defeat.
Thinking like this, she asked, "How is the Su family now? I haven't asked about them for so long. After all, Helian Qi was able to get rid of the poison thanks to that little girl Su Luo."
Donghua smiled after hearing this and then said, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Su family is doing well. And there's great news. The Su family and the Rong family are going to get engaged. The date is set for the 15th of March!"
"Get engaged?!" Dongfang Yi asked with wide - open eyes.
It must be about Su Luo and Rong Yi. She remembered that Su Luo would rather throw the marriage ball to a dog than marry him. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Donghua naturally saw her confusion and then continued, "Your Highness may not know that Young Master Rong Yi has long been in love with Miss Su. It's just that Miss Su never understood love. After the matter of looking for a divine doctor for the Emperor, they got to know each other thoroughly. So the engagement was a natural thing!"
After hearing her explanation, Dongfang Yi couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that her trip this time had helped a couple get together. Otherwise, with Su Luo's sharp - tongued character, Rong Yi didn't know how much longer he would have to endure.
"Haha, this is also a happy event. It's just a pity that I can't attend their wedding banquet!"
Saying this, she lowered her eyes, looking a bit desolate. After all, she loved to join in the fun. But after this incident, she knew that she had to be cautious in everything. With their status, they couldn't move around casually.
Seeing her desolate look, Donghua immediately comforted her, "It doesn't matter, Your Highness. Have you forgotten our little tail? It's in the Su family now. In a couple of days, let Miss Su and Young Master Rong send it here. Then you can see them!"
Right! Dongfang Yi slapped her head immediately. How could she forget that she had a little puppy? So many things had happened recently that she had forgotten that the little tail Helian Qi gave her was still outside the palace.
It was a gift from Helian Qi, so she naturally had to get it back. She could also see Su Luo and the others.
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Then she yawned. Looking out of the window, she found that it was getting late. Then she said to the woman in front of her, "Okay, okay. I'm going to sleep. You go back and rest quickly. Wake me up early tomorrow. I still have to go and see Helian Qi!"
Saying this, she got into her quilt. Donghua nodded at her with a smile, then blew out the candle on the table and left the bedroom.
At this time, there was a strange figure walking in the palace.
It was Concubine Dong. She was dressed in white, but her face was heavily made - up. Her red lips looked extremely terrifying.
She walked alone on the main road of the palace without a single attendant. Occasionally, when the passing palace servants saw her, they were startled. But when they took a closer look and found that it was Concubine Dong, they heaved a sigh of relief and then greeted, "May Concubine Dong be well."
But the woman seemed not to hear anything. She didn't say a word, and her expression didn't change either. She just walked forward stiffly in the direction of the Queen's Palace.
At this time, there was no sound or light in the Queen's Palace. Xiaolan was on night duty tonight, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Concubine Dong took out the rope she had prepared in advance and threw it over the wall. After fixing it, she started to climb up. After all, she knew that it was absolutely impossible to enter from the main gate, so she had to climb over the wall.
But she had been pampered since childhood, and her arms were very weak. When climbing up the rope, she hurt her arms and hands. With great difficulty, she climbed up the wall, and her palms were covered with blood. But she didn't seem to care at all. She continued to walk carefully towards the bedroom.
Xiaolan was in a deep sleep and didn't realize that someone was approaching. Danger was about to come.
