Chapter 809 Betrayed
could I possibly be unsatisfied with But if I were to tell you, that if I could be with you, I would gladly become an ordinary husband with you...""Lan Shan Temple has arrived." Xiao Yu Ge didn't wait...While Xiao Yufu initially felt joy, she was suddenly plunged into despair. As the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, even if she wasn't to be the crown princess, she would at least be a respected wife. But Xiao Yuge actually wanted to be a humble concubine How could she not be shocked and resentful
"Very well! Then I shall follow the Saintess's decree and bestow Xiao Yufeng upon the Crown Prince as a concubine!" The Emperor readily agreed with satisfaction.
Xiao Yu Ge glared angrily at him: He clearly wanted to do this, wanting to break Xiao Yu Fu's heart, yet he made her the villain. If someone who committed regicide wasn't held responsible, she would try it now.
Xiao Yufu glared fiercely at Xiao Yuge, she felt this was Xiao Yuge humiliating her, this grudge, she kept it in mind!
Even Xiao Zhan looked at Ge'er with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she would do such a thing.
"Lord Xiao, this time, it was Ge'er who used the golden amulet to plead for your pardon. This is the only time, there will be no exceptions in the future. If there is another time, I will not show leniency. Be grateful!"
"I thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!"
Looking at Xiao Zhan and his daughter's departing figures, the emperor laughed, a triumphant smile on his face, because he had won!
"Your Majesty, your purpose has been achieved. May this servant be excused" Xiao Yuge said coldly. She knew that the Emperor had used her. Both he and the Empress were disgusted with Xiao Yufeng. However, Xiao Yufeng had intimate contact with Qian Sichin, and coupled with Xiao Zhan's position in court, if there wasn't a good explanation, then once the courtiers wavered, it would shake the very foundation. That's why he used Xiao Yuge's mouth to both give Xiao Yufeng an explanation and prevent the resentment of the Xiao family from falling on them.
As expected, a win-win situation!
"Very well." The objective was achieved, and the Emperor knew it was time to implement the next plan.
Xiao Yu Ge angrily left the Yongxin Hall, feeling used as a pawn. She was truly unhappy and wanted to punch someone!
"Sister! Why must you petition the Father Emperor to make Fu'er my concubine" Sure enough, someone had volunteered to take a beating.
"Get lost!" Seeing Qian SiChen, Xiao YuGe's heart erupted in fury. He lashed out with a palm strike without hesitation!
"Ugh!" Qian Sicheng hadn't expected this attack, and the palm strike landed squarely on his chest. His insides churned violently, a salty taste rising in his throat.
Xiao Yuge ignored him, snorted coldly, and quickly turned to leave.
Suddenly, she saw a white-haired figure seem to flash past her. Her heart skipped a beat, and without thinking twice, she leaped forward in pursuit!
Strangely, the figure was incredibly fast. Even with all her skill and effort, Xiao Yuge couldn't catch up. However, thinking that it might be the white-haired person she had been searching for all this time, she disregarded everything else. She was determined to catch this person this time, so she relentlessly pursued them.
In a flash, she saw the white-haired woman leap over the wall in front of them. She didn't have time to think much and, with a leap of her own, followed after her. As soon as she landed, she heard a loud noise coming from that direction. Thinking the woman was there, she hurried after it, unaware that she had already arrived at Shoukang Palace.
After she chased after him, she didn't see the white-haired man, but instead saw the Empress lying there!
"Empress Dowager!"
She rushed over and helped the Empress to her feet, but she was shocked to find a dagger piercing the Empress's chest!
"Song'er, I'm so sorry..." The Empress Dowager looked full of remorse, her hands trembling as she grasped Xiao Yuge's.
"Your Majesty, who has hurt you" Xiao Yuge wanted to help her to the side, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager gasped for breath, as if she could stop breathing at any moment: "Ge'er, tell the Fifteenth Prince that I am sorry. It is my fault...Tell him, Mount Wushang...Mount Wushang...is there, there..." But before she could finish her words, she slumped over and breathed her last.
"What's wrong Empress! Empress!" Xiao Yuge placed her hand under the Empress's nose, sure enough, there was no breath.
"Oh come on, this is just like a fairytale! The story ends before it even begins. How is she supposed to guess anything"
Just as she was puzzled, Qin Mama walked over. Seeing everything before her, the medicine bowl in her hand suddenly fell to the ground. She then cried out in alarm, “Murder! Murder!”
"Hey!" Xiao Yuge only then understood what was going on. She got up, just about to chase after her, when Cheng Ying led people into the room.
The Empress Dowager lay in a pool of blood, and Xiao Yuge had blood on her hands. Such a scene was hard to believe, making it difficult to think that she had nothing to do with what had happened!
"The Princess Protector of the Nation conspired to harm the Empress Dowager, bring her here!" With a command from Chéngyǐng, all the guards surrounded her.
"The Empress Dowager was not killed by me!" Xiao Yuge now understood. The white-haired man just now had deliberately led her here, and today's events were probably a trap set against her.
"Guardian Princess, did you do it The Ministry of Justice will know." Chéngyǐng raised his hand, and the guards surrounded Xiāoyǔgē.
Xiao Yuge knew she had fallen into someone's trap. It was all her own fault for being too careless. Now, there was no way to explain things clearly. It seemed that the only option was to break out and find a chance to uncover the truth. These few people were nothing to her.
"Song'er!" And at this moment, Qian Sichin also happened to arrive there. However, the scene before his eyes terrified him: "Grand Empress Dowager!"
Xiao Yu Ge kicked the guard beside him away with one kick, snatched the sword from his hand, leaped forward, and came to Qian Si Chen's side, putting the sword to his neck: "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him!"
"Your Highness!" Sure enough, Chéngyǐn immediately stopped his men.
"Song'er!" Qian Sicheng didn't expect Song'er to hold a knife against his neck.
"Thousands of thoughts swirl, I did not kill the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Yuge was also helpless at this time.
"Ger, I believe in you!" Qian Sicheng naturally believed her.
But on the side, Qin Mama loudly pointed at Xiao Yuge and said, "It's her, it's Princess Huguo who killed the Empress Dowager!"
"You're lying! I didn't kill the Empress Dowager!" Xiao Yuge was now cornered, unable to defend herself. She couldn't have imagined that someone could be so vicious as to murder the Empress Dowager and frame her for it.
At this moment, her worry wasn't about herself, but rather about Qian Tingxuan outside the palace. With the Empress Dowager dead, the Mother Gu would naturally vanish as well. The Son Gu sensed the death of the Mother Gu, and Qian Tingxuan must surely be overjoyed right now. Therefore, she had to go see Qian Tingxuan!
"My dear Ge'er, please put down your sword first. I promise I will investigate this thoroughly and ensure you are not unjustly accused!" At this moment, Qian Si Chen seemed to have understood. Could this be the scheme set by her father emperor and the national teacher To actually use the life of her grandmother to frame Ge'er
"No! I can't stay here! I have to leave the palace!" Xiao Yusheng tightened his grip on the knife and pulled him up, shouting at Cheng Ying, "I said it again, the Empress Dowager wasn't killed by me, all of you get out of my way! Or else, I'll kill him!"outhful of fresh blood!"Master Chu!" The servant beside him hurried over to help him up. "What's wrong with you""I'm fine..." Chu Tianqi wiped the blood from his lips and staggered forward. He was hea...
