When Concubine Dong approached her, she took out a pre - prepared handkerchief and covered her face...
Xiaolan felt her mouth and nose being covered and immediately struggled. Unfortunately, she was no match for Concubine Dong in strength. Moreover, there seemed to be some kind of substance on the handkerchief. Soon, she was suffocated and fainted.
Concubine Dong threw away the handkerchief in her hand and dragged Xiaolan to the side. She tried to make as little noise as possible during this series of actions. Then she quietly walked into the bedroom.
However, she didn't know that Dongfang Yi was a light sleeper. When she walked in, Dongfang Yi vaguely felt some movement, but due to sleepiness, she didn't think much about it.
But when Concubine Dong stood beside her bed and took out the dagger from her bosom, the reflection of the dagger shone directly on her face. She immediately opened her eyes.
Seeing the somewhat terrifying face of the woman in front of her and the dagger in her hand, she almost instinctively let out a scream. Then she dodged, barely avoiding the stabbing dagger for the moment.
But Concubine Dong didn't give up at all. She raised her hand and stabbed down again and again, each stab with great force. It seemed that she was determined to kill Dongfang Yi.
The space on the bed was very small. Dongfang Yi had no time to dodge. Since the bed was surrounded and there was only the exit where Concubine Dong was standing, she couldn't even get off the bed. She could only shout loudly, hoping that someone would come quickly.
But Concubine Dong was so fast that Dongfang Yi's arm was scratched. Enduring the pain, she asked the woman in front of her, "Concubine Dong! Are you crazy?!"
Concubine Dong increased the force on her hand, deepening the wound on Dongfang Yi's arm. Then she roared, "I'm not crazy. It's you who are crazy. You killed my whole family! How could you! I didn't ask for anything. I just wanted my family to be safe!"
Dongfang Yi was completely confused by her words. What did she mean by saying that they killed the Dong family? She was also a victim. Moreover, she was in the cold palace. How could she have the leisure for such things?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help shouting, "What are you talking nonsense about? Who killed your whole family? Can you stop and talk properly first?!"
But her words couldn't wake up the crazy Concubine Dong. Concubine Dong just sneered after hearing that. Then she replied, "You still don't admit it even at this point? Fine. Then let me take you to meet my parents and younger brother in the underworld!"
Saying that, she waved the dagger down. Dongfang Yi knew that she couldn't avoid it, so she quickly raised her hand to prevent the dagger from hitting a vital part.
Just then, Donghua arrived in time. After seeing the situation in front of her, she immediately threw the sword in her hand, knocking the dagger out of Concubine Dong's hand.
Then she rushed forward and pressed Concubine Dong to the ground. She said to the woman on the bed, "Your Majesty, I'm late. Please get off the bed quickly!"
Then, after seeing the wound on her arm caused by the dagger, she shouted towards the outside, "Someone! Come quickly!"
Soon, several palace maids ran in. As soon as they saw what had happened in the palace and the blood on their master's hand, they panicked and quickly knelt on the ground.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call the imperial physician and the emperor!" Donghua roared again. Only then did those palace maids immediately run out.
In the room, Concubine Dong had been subdued by Donghua on the ground. Without the dagger, she had no fighting ability against Donghua.
Dongfang Yi sat on the bed, looked at her injured arm and couldn't help frowning. She thought to herself that she really had new injuries before the old ones healed.
She stared intently at the woman forced to kneel on the ground and then asked, "What on earth do you want? Are you crazy?!"
Concubine Dong sneered after hearing that. Then she raised her head, stared at her with her blood - shot eyes. Then she said hoarsely, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault!"
Dongfang Yi immediately felt that something was wrong with her mental state. She realized that something must have happened to her. Otherwise, her personality couldn't have changed so much. Then she frowned and said, "Why do you say that I killed the people of the Dong family? When the Dong family was killed, I was in the cold palace. How could I have done such a thing?!"
"Heh... You couldn't have done it, but what about your Dongfang family? You're all in the same boat. What are you still arguing about here!" Concubine Dong tilted her head, looking indifferent, as if she had given up on herself.
Dongfang Yi's gaze towards her deepened. She didn't expect that the extermination of the Dong family would have such a great impact on her that she had gone completely crazy.
Moreover, how could she say that it was their Dongfang family who harmed the Dong family? Her father was always kind - hearted. How could he do such immoral things? Even if the Dong family had done something rebellious, her father would never have taken the law into his own hands.
Thinking of this, when she looked at the woman in front of her, she knew that it was useless to talk to her anymore. So she simply stopped talking to her.
Since being pressed down, Concubine Dong had been very obedient and didn't move at all. Her eyes were blank, just like a doll.
The wound on Dongfang Yi's arm was still bleeding continuously, forming a small pool of blood at her feet.
"Your Majesty..." Donghua called out with concern, very worried about the woman in front of her.
But Dongfang Yi just shook her head at her, indicating that it was okay. She just needed to take good care of the person she had pressed down.
Within a quarter of an hour, the imperial physician rushed over. When he saw Dongfang Yi's wound, he walked over and only said, "Your Majesty, why are you injured again? You should take good care of your body!"
He didn't say anything else, as if he couldn't see or wasn't curious about what was happening in front of him at all. This was the rule in the harem: listen and watch more, but speak less.
After a while, Helian Qi rushed over. There was still sweat on his head, and his breath was a bit unsteady. It was obvious that he had run here in a hurry. When he saw Imperial Physician Li bandaging the person he cared about, he walked over and coldly asked, "What on earth is going on?!"
No one could withstand his anger. Except for Concubine Dong who was still in a daze, the other palace people were a little scared. Seeing this, Donghua stood up and then replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chu broke in while Your Majesty was sleeping and stabbed Your Majesty's arm with a dagger..."
"Enough, Donghua!"
Donghua's words were interrupted by Dongfang Yi before she could finish. Her arm had already been bandaged. Then she stood up and walked to the man in front of her and said,
"Let's talk when everyone has left."
