Chapter 280
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zuiyao held the fragment in her hand and pressed it against the concubine's neck, saying fiercely: "If you dare to resist again, I will kill you immediately! At worst, we will die together, and I will make a profit if you, the concubine, accompany me to hell!"
"No!" The concubine now realized that Jiang Zuiyao was really not afraid of death, and she honestly didn't dare to move.
At this time, the guard in front of him also panicked and stood there dazed.
The maid of the imperial concubine exclaimed: "You'd better think about the consequences. If you dare to kill the imperial concubine, Prince Gong will also be implicated!"
Jiang Zuiyao narrowed her eyes fiercely and smiled nonchalantly: "I am not threatened by anything, you are the one who forced me!"
"We let you go, please let go of the imperial concubine." The palace maid shouted, but Jiang Zuiyao frowned and said: "If I let the imperial concubine go now and step out of the palace door, I'm afraid I will be captured by the guards? By then, right?
Will the imperial concubine let me go?"
Seeing that Jiang Zuiyao was not going to let go of the imperial concubine easily, the palace maid turned around and ran out for no reason.
Jiang Zuiyao shouted at the guards: "You all get out!"
The guards all looked at Jiang Zuiyao in surprise and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands.
"I want you all to get out! Otherwise, I will kill the concubine now!" After saying this, Jiang Zuiyao tightened the porcelain piece in her hand and accidentally scratched the concubine's neck.
The imperial concubine exclaimed in pain: "Get out quickly! Get out quickly! She really knows how to kill people! Get out quickly!"
Although the guards had weapons in hand, if they rushed forward at this moment, they would not be able to move faster than the injuring piece of porcelain in Jiang Zuiyao's hand. They could see that Jiang Zuiyao was showing his true feelings, so they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to go out temporarily.
Threatening the imperial concubine's life was no small matter, and the guards did not dare to act rashly. Under the stalemate, more and more guards gathered outside the palace.
"Rumble...", there was a thunder, a flash of lightning flashed through the clouds, and then, heavy rain poured down.
Outside the palace, many guards were standing in the courtyard. The leading guards came and asked about the situation. The eunuch in charge of the imperial concubine's dormitory said: "What are you waiting for? Go in and save the imperial concubine!"
The leading guard said: "That woman is threatening the life of the noble concubine, so we cannot act rashly!"
"Can't you still deal with a weak woman? She is just arrogant. You can protect His Majesty on weekdays, but you can't save the noble concubine now?"
"That woman is the emperor's favorite now. Because she didn't even come to court today, if we hurt her, His Majesty will be furious."
"Then we have to save the imperial concubine! You guys hurry up and find a way!"
"Didn't you invite His Majesty? Let's wait until His Majesty comes to make a decision."
The eunuch stamped his feet anxiously and looked at the situation in the palace. The situation was still deadlocked.
The raindrops became heavier and heavier, becoming more and more crazy. The dark sky seemed to be pressing down. The wind chased the rain, and the rain chased the wind, pouring down the sky.
After a while, the emperor was seen hurriedly walking in from outside the courtyard. The eunuch behind him was holding an umbrella and chasing the hurried emperor.
"Your Majesty is here!" a guard exclaimed, and the people in the courtyard knelt on the ground.
When Su Su, who was guarding the door, saw the emperor coming, she quickly ran in and shouted to Jiang Zuiyao: "Girl, your majesty is here! Your majesty is here!"
Jiang Zuiyao had been waiting for this moment. She finally let go of the imperial concubine, and in desperation, she knocked her head on the corner of the table.
How could the imperial concubine care about what Jiang Zuiyao was doing? She hurriedly ran out the door, shouting as she ran: "Here comes someone! Help! Help!"
When he was about to run to the door, the door was pushed open with great force, and a gust of cold wind blew in. The emperor stood outside the door.
When the imperial concubine saw the emperor, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw. She rushed into the emperor's arms and shouted: "Your Majesty, please save me! Someone wants to kill me!"
The emperor glanced at the concubine who was hugging him tightly and her face was pale. He frowned. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Su Su exclaim: "Girl, you are bleeding!"
The emperor quickly looked up and found Jiang Zuiyao sitting on the ground, with a big cut on her forehead and blood flowing out. He was startled at first, pushed the panicked concubine away, walked quickly to Jiang Zuiyao, knelt down and hugged her.
Zumijiang Zuiyao asked: "Mu'er, what's wrong with you?!"
At this time, Jiang Zuiyao changed from her domineering appearance just now, and said with a grievance, "Your Majesty, you are here. If you don't come again, I will die."
Such a sentence made the imperial concubine's face change drastically in shock. How could it be that she was about to die?
The emperor looked at the bleeding wound on Jiang Zuiyao's forehead and felt distressed for a moment: "Who is it? Who hurt you?"
Jiang Zuiyao pointed at the imperial concubine in black and white and said: "It's the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine wants to kill me. Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
"I don't have one!", the imperial concubine shouted loudly: "It's obviously you who want to kill me, you're lying!"
Jiang Zuiyao ignored the imperial concubine at all and raised her hands to clutch the emperor's sleeves. She looked so pitiful and said with a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, believe me. It's the imperial concubine who won't let me walk out of this palace alive. I'm also trying to save my life."
He had no choice but to threaten the imperial concubine’s life.”
When the emperor heard this, he looked suspicious.
The imperial concubine came over quickly, showed her injured arm, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look, it was her injury. She threatened my concubine's life and used her as a hostage to threaten the guards who protected me."
, it’s her who wants to kill my concubine!”
Jiang Zuiyao bit her lip sadly and said aggrievedly: "If the imperial concubine hadn't made things difficult for me, how could I have dared to compete with you?"
Immediately, Jiang Zuiyao said to the emperor with sadness: "Your Majesty does not know something. After I handed the sachet to the imperial concubine, she refused to let me go. She said she was jealous of your majesty for doting on me, and she was even more jealous of your majesty because I didn't go to the imperial concubine.
In the morning, he said that a commoner like me was not worthy of His Majesty's favor."
Such words finally moved the emperor, and his cold eyes fell on the imperial concubine.
Facing the emperor's indifference, the imperial concubine shook her head and said: "I don't have it, I don't have it!"
Jiang Zuiyao said in a more serious tone: "Your Majesty, how dare I lie about such a thing? I have no enmity with the imperial concubine. How could I do such a treasonous thing when we first met? She also deliberately tore the sachet, and then
Putting the blame on me, using an excuse to accuse me, and letting people slap me in the face, she just wants to ruin my appearance so that His Majesty will no longer favor me!"
When the emperor listened to Jiang Zuiyao's words, he did not completely believe her, but was thinking about whether what she said was true.
When Jiang Zuiyao saw that the emperor refused to believe it, she immediately threw herself into the emperor's arms and started crying hysterically: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid, I'm so afraid. I beg you, please let me out of the palace. I don't want to stay here anymore."
