Chapter 126 "Have you finished killing?"
Mo Yu hurried towards the lakeside courtyard, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't understand how the carefree princess had died.
How could he have died so easily?
She hurried to the courtyard and pushed open the door to the room that had been prepared in advance. There were no lights inside, but there did seem to be a figure sitting at the table.
The person was leaning back in the armchair, with her arms resting on the armrests, her face hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to tell whether she was dead or alive.
Mo Yu walked to the table and lit the lamp, but as soon as the candle was lit, a sharp pain in her side and the force of the impact caused her to fall backward. Her back hit the marble floor, and the pain instantly cleared her mind. She immediately ran towards the door.
The young palace maid panicked and closed the door from the outside, cutting off the moonlight from the room.
Mo Yu understood perfectly well that she had been exposed and then outmaneuvered.
Without hesitation, she pulled a short blade from her sleeve and attacked Song Yaozhu. Song Yaozhu raised her arm to block, but the sharp pain caused her wrist to go numb, and she dropped the blade. The next instant, the pain in her abdomen struck again, and she was kicked to the ground, crawling on all fours.
Song Yaozhu bent down and picked up the dagger from the ground. The cold shard of the dagger pressed against Mo Yu's cheek, and her back felt uncontrollably cold.
"Who are you! You are not Song Yaozhu!" Mo Yu's back was being stepped on by Song Yaozhu. She wanted to get up from the ground, but the weight on her body felt like a thousand pounds.
"Aunt Mo Yu, look carefully, am I really Song Yaozhu?" She bent down and brought her face close, and Mo Yu was flustered.
"you......"
The moment their eyes met, Mo Yu was like a startled cat, her fur standing on end.
"Impossible! Impossible! You deserve to die!" She kept pounding the ground, trying to escape from Song Yaozhu's feet.
"Who died?" Song Yaozhu kicked her in the abdomen, just as she had done to her years ago. Hearing her groan, she couldn't help but sneer, "Auntie hasn't even drunk the poison yet, and she's already in this much pain?"
The candlelight inside the room was dim. Song Yaozhu looked terrifying and bore a striking resemblance to Xie Wanqing. Mo Yu was so frightened that she screamed and fainted.
"Tsk." Song Yaozhu was speechless. How could someone so easily frightened dare to help Gao Ping harm so many people?
She summoned a palace maid and said, "Go and fetch Consort Song, and also tell the Imperial Concubine that the matter is settled."
The young palace maid responded repeatedly, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Mo Yu lying on the ground. She covered her mouth in horror and ran away without daring to say a word.
Song Yaozhu poured herself a cup of tea, but just as she brought the cup to her lips, she remembered that she couldn't drink it, which made her even more annoyed.
Xie Liwei was constantly being pestered and forced to drink all night, because if Yuwen Wuji wanted to do anything to Song Yaozhu, he would have to keep her husband trapped.
He pretended to be drunk and was carried back to the courtyard before changing into night clothes and going out, which inevitably took some time.
He only appeared when Song Yaozhu splashed the third cup of tea on Mo Yu's face.
"You're just being useless by splashing me like that."
Song Yaozhu was startled by his all-black attire. Seeing him climb in through the window, she quickly went to close it.
"Then you come."
Xie Liwei picked up the dagger on the table and stabbed it into Mo Yu's body. Mo Yu, who was unconscious, was awakened by the pain, and her mouth was immediately stuffed with clothing to muffle her piercing scream.
"I thought you had some good ideas. Now that there's blood everywhere, how are you going to clean it up?"
"Just burn it all." Xie Liwei's tone was icy. This Mo Yu was someone who had hurt his older sister in the past, and he wanted her to experience the pain of being scorched by flames once again.
"No, she can't die yet." Song Yaozhu stuffed two more rags into Mo Yu's mouth and said, "I wish I could kill her right now, but if she dies, who will testify about the filth Gao Ping did?"
"With such a loyal dog like her, do you think she would testify against Gao Ping? In my opinion, we should leave a blood oath and kill her."
When Mo Yu heard the couple discussing how to frame their own concubine, she sobbed and shook her head frantically.
“You’re right.” Song Yaozhu looked at the anxious Mo Yu and sneered repeatedly. “Killing her would be easy. With her blood-written letter, even if Gao Ping isn’t killed by the dog emperor, she’ll be exiled to the cold palace.”
Hearing this, Mo Yu struggled even more fiercely.
Looking at Mo Yu's expression, Song Yaozhu said to Xie Liwei, "I originally thought she was just loyal to Gao Ping, and that she might commit suicide to protect Gao Ping after waking up. But it seems that's not all."
Xie Liwei instantly understood her meaning, temporarily suppressing his murderous intent towards Mo Yu, and said, "I can understand. Although the dog emperor has a large number of concubines, he is getting old and can no longer satisfy them. Due to his status, the concubines cannot seek out men, so it is normal for them to have such a thing as 'mirror grinding'."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's eyes flashed with intense hatred and anger, wishing she could drag the couple down with her.
"Can you take her out of here?"
"You want me to touch other women?" Xie Liwei pouted in dissatisfaction.
Song Yaozhu gave him a push, "Stop being so glib. In this emergency, we have to act quickly. We're sorry to trouble our Prince."
Xie Liwei clapped his hands in satisfaction, and Fang Rao jumped down from the roof, picked up the person, and climbed out the window.
Song Yaozhu: "......"
She thought it was just the two of them.
Fang Rao and Mo Yu left, and Xie Liwei took Song Yaozhu's hand, saying, "Now it really is just the two of us."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Song Yaozhu heard a bellows-like breathing sound approaching from outside the door, and then the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Song Yaozhu! I'm here to save you!"
Upon receiving the news, Yongle rushed over immediately, leaving her hairpins and ornaments disheveled and her hair bun in disarray. Several large black footprints were left on her beautiful shawl.
"Are you alright?" Yongle's big eyes swept over her, then looked at Xie Liwei beside her, a look of disdain in his eyes.
When she saw the pool of blood on the ground, her eyes widened, and it took her a while to ask, "Are you done killing?"
Before Song Yaozhu could reply, she jumped up and said, "What do you mean by 'good sister'! Did he take the body and dispose of it?! Didn't we agree that I would help you?! Do you even consider me a sister?!"
Song Yaozhu: "......"
Forgive her; this is the first time she's made a sister like this.
Xie Liwei released Song Yaozhu's hand, raised his hands to cover his ears, and looked at Song Yaozhu with a deep gaze. His eyes conveyed a clear message: You've made friends with these girls, hurry up and appease them!
Song Yaozhu had no choice but to walk over and put her arm around her shoulder. "It's like this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xie Liwei lifted her arms and then put them down again. "Just talk, why are you flirting like that?"
He's just encountered a live mirror polisher, so he has to be extremely careful around women too!
Yongle couldn't stand it anymore and spat, "This man is obviously unreliable. Tell me where you hid the body, and I'll help you rebury it. Don't tell him where you buried it!"
Song Yaozhu: "......"
No, you're going to argue about something like this?
