Yu Qingluo thought, everyone has finally arrived.
She patted Concubine Wan's hand, straightened up slowly, walked to Concubine Meng, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Concubine Concubine, there are assassins in this temple. It's better to let the guards search carefully. Otherwise, all the princesses and ladies present may be in danger."
"Assassin?" The women following Concubine Meng were startled, and then a look of horror flashed in their eyes.
They were alone now, without even a maid around them. If they were to encounter an assassin, they would have to face death head-on.
Someone approached Concubine Meng and said, "Concubine Meng, please let the guards search the entire temple quickly, otherwise people will be in panic and everyone will be uneasy."
Concubine Meng frowned and her eyes circled around Yu Qingluo. When she saw that she was safe and sound, her eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
But soon she calmed down again, raised her hand to stop the chatter of the women around her, and said in a cold voice, "Princess Tianfu, what on earth is going on?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao, she... seems to be in trouble." The master who had called out just now saw that the person who made the decision was coming and ran over in a hurry.
If something happens to the emperor's concubine in their Lingtai Temple, the first ones who will be held accountable are these sisters-in-law, and they will most likely be dragged out and beheaded.
Concubine Meng was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see Concubine Xiao who was being helped by several masters but was unconscious with bloodshot eyes at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes flashed and she suddenly looked at Yu Qingluo, "Princess Tianfu, why did Concubine Xiao change?" Like this? Who hurt her? "
"It's an assassin." Yu Qingluo suppressed the disgust in her heart. At this juncture, Concubine Meng wanted to frame her.
"I didn't see any assassins. You are the only one safe and sound here."
Yu Qingluo clenched her fingers. Was she trying to mislead others that she was an assassin
"Who said that my mother is safe and sound?" Nan Nan jumped out suddenly and raised her eyes to meet Concubine Meng's gloomy eyes. "My mother was injured. She was injured by an assassin. If I hadn't arrived in time, my mother would have died." My dear is going to die."
"Your Majesty, I have seen a masked assassin." Concubine Wan also stepped forward and spoke softly.
Concubine Meng pursed her lips slightly, "Why did Concubine Wan appear here? This place is in a remote place. Your house is probably quite far away from here."
Concubine Wan still looks gentle, and has the unique bookish air of a talented literati.
She said, "Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiao heard from the master in this temple that there is a quiet and elegant place here, and there is a small bamboo forest that is very unique. The empress knows that Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiao are both people who like to read books and write lyrics. When I heard there was such a place, I couldn't help it, so I made an appointment to come here to have a look. Concubine Xiao went back to get the veil on the way, so I came here first."
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I saw Wanyan lying on the ground. There was a masked man in black standing in front of him with a fierce look. I was shocked and shouted for help. Miss Qing happened to be nearby, I quickly ran over and took a look, I originally asked Miss Qing to leave quickly, but before I had time, the man in black knocked me out."
Ye Wanyan nodded and said, "Miss Qing originally went with me to treat my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law was poisoned after eating undercooked lentils today, so I invited Miss Qing over. Later I sent Miss Qing over. When I came out, I walked here and saw..."
Ye Wanyan paused for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Meng, pursed her lips, turned away her eyes and said in a low voice, "I saw a suspicious person, and that person happened to be holding a basket, and there happened to be lentils in it. I just I left Miss Qing behind and chased after her, but I didn’t expect to catch her until she reached the other side of the wall, where she was knocked unconscious.”
When everyone heard this, they probably understood. But he was even more certain that there was indeed an assassin in this temple, and he was a masked and brutal male assassin.
Yu Qingluo said, "Your Majesty, I heard the screams of Princess Wanyan and Concubine Wanyan one after another, so I hurried over to take a look. Later, the assassin also wanted to attack me. Although I am not a top-notch princess, Although he is a master of martial arts, he still knows basic self-defense skills. He could barely withstand a few moves of the assassin, but he was still injured... Concubine Xiao came over in the middle of this place. When she saw this situation, she turned around and wanted to call someone. I didn’t expect to be hit directly by the assassin.”
Well, at this point, all the causes and consequences are almost understood.
Yu Qingluo looked at Concubine Meng's tense face and suddenly took a step back, clutching her chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah..." Everyone screamed, and the master over there hurried over to help Yu Qingluo.
Nan Nan jumped up and down, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and call the imperial doctor. If anything happens to my mother, my grandpa, the emperor, will definitely not let you go."
The imperial doctor came with him. After all, a lot of female relatives were going out and had to stay in this temple for another day. How could the imperial doctor not accompany the car
But when they arrived outside the temple, Concubine Meng also stopped them outside.
"Go and call the imperial doctor." A deep and powerful voice suddenly came from far away.
Everyone looked around and saw Ye Lansheng walking over, supporting the Queen. The queen's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "If there is anything, let's wait until Princess Tianfu and Concubine Xiao are safe and sound. The most urgent task is to quickly let the guards outside the temple search for the assassin. All the female relatives should not be scattered, let them Concubine Xiao and the princess's maids will come to serve you. Also, ask the commander of the imperial guards to send someone to report to the emperor. The people here must not make any mistakes again."
The masters were stunned for a moment. They were so frightened by the Queen's majestic voice that they almost jumped up and ran away according to her orders.
Concubine Meng's face was extremely ugly. This woman actually came to show off her power at this juncture.
However, many female relatives changed a lot because of Concubine Meng's delay in giving orders and the Queen's resolute actions. Everyone looked at the queen, as if they had found a backbone.
Yu Qingluo's drooping eyes curved slightly. A queen is a queen after all. Even if she is wasted away by the palace for a few years, frustrated for a few years, and left in the cold for a few years, the momentum in her body is still there, and the accumulation of many years is still there.
She would even take advantage of this rare opportunity to regain everyone's attention, and perhaps have the opportunity to climb back to a high position to deal with Concubine Meng.
The queen's order was quickly implemented, and not long after, the guards outside the temple walked in solemnly.
However, when they entered, the first person they found... was not the assassin.
