Chapter 402: The 6th prince kills someone, and Concubine De loses control!
Li Qingluo's words prevented Concubine De's expression from becoming uncontrollably out of control.
She covered her face and quickly ordered someone to take the Sixth Prince away.
"Go tie up everyone around Xiaoliu!"
"Put him in solitary confinement!"
The palace maid trembled with fear: "Yes... yes."
I'm afraid these people are in great danger today.
Concubine De personally took the brocade box from Li Qingluo's hand.
But he was not in a hurry to open it to see what was inside.
Instead, she maintained her cool demeanor and invited all the concubines to come in and take their seats.
"You sisters are so kind."
"I am not good at socializing on a daily basis. Even if it is a happy day for any of the sisters, I have never visited them."
"But today, Xiaoliu was naughty and disturbed the sisters."
"But since you're here, I'm hosting you today, so please don't be shy, sisters, and have fun."
"Someone is coming——"
"Bring out all the things used for entertainment in the palace, and let the ladies have some fun."
After saying this, she urgently whispered to the senior palace maid beside her, "Go to the imperial kitchen immediately and order a few more tables to be set up, and tell them that it's my birthday today."
"Wait, let's put all the fruits and cakes out first."
After the palace servants of Jinying Palace carried out all the things and placed them in the courtyard, the ladies from each palace were also welcomed into the palace.
They did not entertain themselves, but asked the palace maids around them to go to the yard to play, and they just watched the fun.
There is pitching pot.
There are backgammon and six-bob.
There is also puppetry.
The eunuchs and maids in each palace rolled up their sleeves to win honor for their masters, and soon they started working enthusiastically.
The ladies in each palace were holding their fans and laughing so hard that their bodies were shaking.
Some people couldn't help but try their hand at solving the Luban Lock and the Nine Rings puzzle by themselves.
After a while, the palace servants in the yard started arguing.
Li Qingluo looked around with his hands behind his back.
It's like visiting a market and watching the fun.
When she encountered someone pushing her, she dodged them skillfully.
When she encountered someone cheating, she secretly shook her head and sighed.
Soon all the concubines noticed her.
"Is that the Taoist priest from Guifu Palace?"
"I heard that he is Master Qingyangzi's junior apprentice."
"Isn't that Master Yunhe's little disciple?"
Master Yunhe: How come I don’t know about this?
When a concubine who had entered the palace a few years earlier heard about Guifu Palace, she immediately leaned over and asked, "Isn't this Guifu Palace a forbidden area in the palace? In the past, when I tried to inquire about this matter, I was scolded by the maids. They were afraid of angering His Majesty."
Concubine Rong: "I advise you not to continue asking. It was indeed a forbidden area in the past. Even though Prince Su lives there now, isn't he still not allowed to approach?"
"Even the De Fei who was once the closest relative to me is not allowed to get even a little bit closer."
“Who knows what kind of vengeful ghosts are inside.”
Rong Fei said this casually while fanning herself leisurely, but it frightened many concubines beside her and made them look extremely uncomfortable.
Concubine De sat at the very top, looking at the chaos in her palace and feeling very annoyed.
Her eyes also fell on the little Taoist priest.
It was as cold as a poisonous snake, without any warmth at all.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the side hall.
A palace maid rushed out covered in blood.
The man who followed her out was holding a dagger in his hand and had a silly smile on his face.
"It's fun, it's fun!"
"Hehe, don't run—"
"This prince will come again, don't run away——"
This person is none other than the Sixth Prince Duan Rongye.
Not only his body but also his face was covered with blood. At this moment, he was smiling like a living evil ghost.
The maid ran away crying, "Help! Help me! Help me!"
"Mother--"
Duan Rongye chased after her, and the two of them quickly rushed into the crowd.
However, Duan Rongye was chasing the palace maid, and when he saw that she did not stop, his expression instantly became ferocious.
"Why don't you listen!?"
"If you don't obey, you should be killed—"
"This prince will kill you!"
He raised his knife and stabbed at the crowd.
When everyone saw that this scene did not seem fake, they all reacted and screamed.
The eldest princess acted decisively, slamming the table and standing up: "Quick! Catch him!"
The crowd was in chaos.
All the concubines were horrified.
"catch him!"
"Quickly notify the Royal Guards to come and capture the Sixth Prince!"
"Murder! The Sixth Prince Duan Rongye has killed someone!"
"Xiao Liu is really crazy——"
Only Concubine De rushed out anxiously with the help of palace servants.
"Ye'er!"
"what are you doing?"
"Stop!"
"Someone, come and protect the Sixth Prince!"
In an instant, those who were capturing and those who were protecting rushed over to protect their masters.
The entire Jinying Palace was in complete chaos.
De Fei wanted to rush out: "No, don't hurt him——"
"He is the Sixth Prince, who among you dares to touch him?!"
However, under the scolding of the eldest princess, the palace maid could only hold her tightly.
Defei struggled frantically, not even a trace of the cold and aloof fairy she usually was.
She screamed miserably as she watched the eunuchs and palace maids pin Duan Rongye down and take away their knives.
Duan Rongye cried out in pain: "Mother——"
"Mother, please save me, I'm in so much pain, I can't breathe—"
At the eldest princess's signal, Concubine De was suddenly freed and rushed forward.
She pushed the palace servants like crazy: "Get out! All of you get out of here, get out—"
"Ye'er. Mother is here——"
The guards came upon hearing the noise.
I was still a little confused when I saw this scene.
I saw Concubine De going mad like a bull, knocking a group of palace maids to the ground.
The mother and son hugging each other look so pitiful.
However, at this moment, two Taoist priests standing at the side hall door cried out in surprise: "Oh, so many dead bodies!"
When the guards rushed over, they saw several corpses lying in the side hall.
They were all eunuchs and palace maids.
De Fei's face turned pale instantly: "No..."
She stumbled over.
Li Qingluo and Shaqi quickly jumped away.
Defei leaned on the door frame and looked into the hall.
After seeing the blood and corpses everywhere, he felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
"No...this is not true..."
As Concubine De was about to collapse, the eldest princess smiled coldly: "Why is it not true?"
"Empress Defei, all the concubines in the palace were watching how Xiaoliu rushed out with a knife today."
"You're not still trying to exonerate Xiaoliu from the crime of murder, are you?"
De Fei screamed: "This was not done by Ye'er, it was definitely not done by Ye'er!"
"Ye'er is as innocent as a child. He is sick, how could he kill someone?!"
Rong Fei straightened her messy appearance and said, "Child?"
"Sister Defei, that's not what you said a while ago."
"You said the Sixth Prince is just simple-minded. No one in this palace is allowed to call the Sixth Prince a fool."
"If you find out about any palace servants discussing something in private, you will find a reason to punish them."
"Some of those who were hit by the sticks died from their injuries."
"Now, why are you talking about your son's unusual behavior yourself?"
"What about those palace servants you deliberately punished?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De turned her head and looked at everyone with red eyes.
"They all deserve to die for talking about the master in private!"
"Besides, my Ye'er is extremely kind and would never kill innocent people."
Li Qingluo: "What about you, Madam Defei?"
"I've calculated with my fingers. Could it be that you intentionally harmed others, and that's why you're suffering retribution today?"
She said as soon as she finished speaking.
The entire Jinying Palace was filled with silence.
Everyone stared at Concubine De with extremely complicated expressions.
Sha Qi then spoke indifferently, "Just now, when the Sixth Prince was wielding a knife and killing someone, I was outside the window and saw it all clearly."
"If necessary, I am willing to go to the Dali Temple to testify in person."
Just as he finished speaking, a strong voice came from outside the palace: "De Fei, when did Ye'er become a fool who kills people with a knife!"
"How are you going to explain this to me?!"
The person who came was actually Emperor Yan.
He didn't know how long he had been listening outside the Jinying Palace.
At this moment, he stared at Concubine De with cold and hateful eyes, like an invisible knife, which frightened Concubine De so much that she collapsed to the ground.
"No... this is all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Your Majesty!"
"My mother and I were framed."
"How could Ye'er hurt others for no reason——"
The Sixth Prince sat on the ground, rubbing his eyes and crying like a child: "Mother, I'm scared, wuwu..."
"I want to kill them all! I want to kill them all!"
Defei rushed over with a pale face.
"Ye'er!"
"Shut up..."
She covered the Sixth Prince's mouth in panic, but the Sixth Prince bit her hard.
Then she rushed towards people crying again.
The Imperial Guards immediately took action and captured the Sixth Prince.
Defei rushed forward again, regardless of the blood on her hands.
But this time, there was no way to save Duan Rongye who was struggling frantically.
De Fei's eyes were instantly filled with hatred and madness: "I know that you are here today on purpose to harm me, Ye'er!"
"This is all a conspiracy."
"Why would you be so kind as to come and celebrate my birthday?"
"You just can't stand the fact that I have a son!"
"You are all murderers—"
"who is it?"
"It's you—the eldest princess!"
"You were cared for by Concubine Yue when you were young, and you have always been grateful to her."
"Or you——? Rong Fei!?"
"These past few years, you've tried everything but still haven't been able to have a child. You must be jealous that I have a child!"
"Or you——"
"you--?"
"And you two stinky Taoist priests! You came from Guifu Palace, and you're here to deliver a gift to Duan Rongshi..."
"Gift, gift!"
Defei rushed back into the palace and dug out the brocade box from a pile of gifts.
She hurriedly opened the box, only to see a heavy red gold osmanthus hairpin fall to the ground with a jingle.
Many concubines, princesses and Emperor Yan present changed their expressions instantly after seeing the hairpin clearly.
However, Concubine De picked up the hairpin and started laughing wildly.
"I knew it was Concubine Yue, it was Concubine Yue——"
"I want to kill her child, so she must have turned into a ghost to kill my Ye'er!"
"She came back for revenge..."
"is her--"
Emperor Yan: "Defei is crazy!"
"You are talking nonsense and behaving inappropriately!"
"Where are the Imperial Guards? Arrest her and send her to the cold palace immediately!"
