Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 180 Formal Marriage

"It's really not because..." The queen stared into the emperor's eyes.

A hint of despair and sadness flashed across those eyes, like a shooting star across the dark night sky, disappearing in an instant.

"The Emperor has fallen in love with Wei Yingluo and wants to take her for himself?"

When the emperor heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the queen in astonishment, as if he had heard an extremely absurd joke.

"Hahahahaha..."

The emperor suddenly threw his head back and laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with endless disdain and contempt, as if it could shatter all doubts.

"Empress, oh Empress, you have been unconscious for so long, I am afraid even your mind has become confused! I am telling you clearly now, this is purely your hallucination!"

There was a gleam of cold light in his eyes like an ice blade, and his tone was firm as a rock, cold and ruthless.

After hearing this, Empress Fucha's face turned pale as paper. She slowly closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.

When the emperor saw this scene, his heart tightened involuntarily. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, making him feel extremely distressed.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. I promise you that I will grant them marriage immediately!"

Looking at the queen who had just recovered from a serious illness, the emperor finally couldn't help but speak, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his voice.

"Really?" Empress Fucha opened her eyes, with a hint of surprise and expectation in her eyes.

Her voice rarely became gentle and charming, with a hint of coquettishness, "Then you must not lie to me."

The emperor sighed softly and waved his hand, "Of course it's true, Li Yu, go and pass on the order! Give Wei Yingluo's family a boost, so as not to humiliate the Fucha family."

His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness, but also an unspeakable tenderness.

Empress Fucha was very happy and said in a cheerful tone, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She also pulled the emperor's sleeve, as if she was acting coquettishly.

The emperor reached out his hand, scratched Empress Fucha's nose, and said lovingly, "You, you."

On the other side, Concubine Chun angrily threw a lot of things, and the room was in a mess.

Her face was full of anger, and she gnashed her teeth and cursed: "Waste, all waste! You can't even do such a small thing."

Yu Hu and Liu Baizhi were so frightened that they trembled and kept begging for mercy.

Their faces were filled with fear and helplessness, and they dared not look up at Concubine Chun.

However, this was of no use, as Yu Hu was holding a plate of long silver needles in his hand, flashing a chilling cold light.

Both of them were clearly aware that they would be punished, but they were also worried that it was just acupuncture, so why did so many silver needles need to be used?

Neither of them dared to think deeply and could only kneel there with their heads down.

Concubine Chun first coldly ordered Yu Hu to insert several long silver needles into Liu Baizhi's body.

Yu Hu immediately felt happy because she firmly believed that she had been with Concubine Chun for so many years and Concubine Chun would never do anything to her, so she forcefully inserted the silver needle deeply into Liu Baizhi's arm.

Liu Baizhi turned pale with fright, her heart filled with regret and fear.

During this time, she followed Wei Yingluo's instructions, conducted a careful investigation, and finally discovered the truth of the matter.

As expected... the source of all the things turned out to be Prince Heqin, and finally it was his vicious mother, Concubine Yu, who had her own sister killed.

Liu Baizhi bit her lips tightly, trying to endure it, reminding herself of the pain she had experienced in the past.

Concubine Chun smiled coldly: "Oh, people who know martial arts are really different. You are really stubborn. You didn't say a word. Yu Hu, give her two more needles."

"Yes!" Yu Hu quickly picked up a long silver needle and stabbed it hard into Liu Baizhi's hand.

Liu Baizhi finally couldn't bear the pain anymore and begged for mercy: "Empress Chun, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Concubine Chun just smiled and said coldly: "Okay, now you can tie the jade pot."

Yu Hu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she trembled all over. She crawled to Concubine Chun's feet and cried:

"Empress Chun, I am loyal to you and have been with you for many years. Please forgive me..."

"Loyal?" Concubine Chun smiled coldly and kicked the jade pot away.

"If you were loyal to me, you would not have failed to deliver that letter!"

Yu Hu cried and explained: "My lady, I was forced to do this. The letter is still in my bedroom..."

Concubine Chun sneered, pinched Yu Hu's chin, and warned her harshly: "Since you haven't given it away, then don't use it to disgust me."

Liu Baizhi was confused and curious about what kind of letter it was that could make Concubine Chun so angry.

"Go ahead." Concubine Chun ordered coldly.

At this moment, Concubine Chun suddenly gave an order, which made Liu Baizhi tremble all over.

She hurriedly picked up a silver needle with trembling hands, and with all her strength, she stabbed it fiercely into Yu Hu's arm...

This kind of punishment seems to leave no trace, but if it is not treated in time over a long period of time, the silver needles will penetrate into the spleen, causing the victim to suffer endless pain and eventually die tragically.

It was late one night a few days before the Double Ninth Festival.

Liu Baizhi took the initiative to find Wei Yingluo and brought a yellowed letter.

She lowered her head and said with a guilty look on her face: "Yingluo... Sister, I investigated according to what you said, and now I finally know that the real murderer is Prince He and Concubine Yu.

I have done many wrong things before, and I come here today to apologize to you."

Wei Yingluo looked at her quietly, as if she saw her former self, so her tone was no longer so angry, but became calm, and asked softly:

"Then tell me, what mistakes have you made?"

Liu Baizhi lowered her head and answered with a choked voice:

"I...I gave advice to Concubine Chun. Not only did I steal the relic, I also asked the medicine boy to add aconite to the Empress's pregnancy-preserving medicine, and even placed a small wooden man in Concubine Gao's room..."

"Did you put the little wooden man in there?" Wei Yingluo looked at Liu Baizhi in surprise.

She originally thought that there was a traitor in Chuxiu Palace, but she didn't expect that it was the seemingly weak woman in front of her who did it.

Liu Baizhi nodded slightly, with a hint of shyness on her face: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I know some Qinggong."

Wei Yingluo frowned and continued to ask: "Then why didn't you go directly to Changchun Palace to kill me in the first place?"

Liu Baizhi was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, I came here on my first day in the palace. That night, I sneaked into Changchun Palace, hoping to find a chance to get rid of you."
