Chapter 158 Don’t want to die
"Over the years, the influence of the Empress and the Zhou family has spread throughout the harem. It would be easy for them to find a corpse that looks like mine. After I fake my death tomorrow, the Empress can send someone to replace my body and then secretly send me out of the palace. I can escape this disaster."
Zhou Shiya was stunned. She didn't expect Xie to come up with such an absurd method.
How can Qingying be compared with her?
Qingying was a palace maid of lowly status. She could easily fake her own death and be sent out of the palace without attracting other people's attention. Even if someone discovered the trick, others would not investigate the matter in a high-profile manner just for a maid.
But Xie is different.
She was the emperor's concubine, but she was a criminal sentenced to death by the emperor himself.
If she did the same thing again and did such a treasonous thing under the emperor's nose, she might get herself into trouble if she wasn't careful.
She definitely couldn't do such a thankless task.
Zhou Shiya pried Xie's hands apart, and the warmth in her eyes gradually cooled down.
Her patience with Xie had reached its limit.
I thought I could say goodbye to her properly, but now it seems she was too optimistic.
"Xie, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you fake your death... but your identity is too special. You're a criminal His Majesty has personally ordered to be punished, and Imperial Concubine Yu is watching closely. Any intelligent person wouldn't do such a foolish thing, so I can't take this risk."
"I am here to see you one last time today and to promise you to protect the rest of the Xie family because of our past friendship... I have done my utmost. If you are still ungrateful and still foolishly daydream of faking your own death, I cannot comply..."
Zhou Shiya straightened her messy dress and didn't want to bother with Xie anymore.
"The only thing you need to do now is to die peacefully... and not stir up trouble again. Xie, if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think more about others."
Xie's heart sank completely to the bottom.
The little hope in her heart was completely shattered.
She stared at Zhou Shiya's profile unwillingly, and asked word by word: "My Queen, you are actually sure that you can rescue me from the palace, but you just don't want to take the risk..."
Zhou Shiya's thoughts were touched. She looked at Xie without commenting: "Yes, I am somewhat confident, but you have become a useless person now. It is really not worth it for me to take this risk for you."
Xie couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Useless person? Oh, Zhou Shiya, you finally stopped pretending with me, didn't you?"
Zhou Shiya's eyes were filled with annoyance. "I have done my best for you. What else do you want?"
Xie held her hand tightly and growled hysterically: "I want to live, I don't want to die."
"Empress, please help me, okay? Considering that I have done a lot for you over the years, can you please help me?"
As she spoke, she knelt in front of Zhou Shiya, her eyes sparkling with a desire to live.
Zhou Shiya's eyes and eyebrows were extremely cold, without any trace of pity.
She pried open Xie's fingers little by little.
"Xie Huilan... please face the truth. I won't risk faking your death..."
Xie gritted her teeth and stared at Zhou Shiya's cold and emotionless eyes.
"Shufei's child... the death of Luopin... and the death of Qiao, the first woman favored by His Majesty..."
Concubine Shu stood quietly in the corner outside the palace, listening clearly to Xie's words.
Her head went blank.
The death of her child, the death of Concubine Luo, all of this is related to the Queen!
It was the Queen who killed them!
This time, the string hanging in her heart was completely broken.
Concubine Shu raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
Zhou Shiya...she has such a vicious heart.
The person who truly kills people without being seen, the truly vicious and cruel person, is Zhou Shiya.
She had been kept in the dark the entire time.
She also thought that Luo Bin's death was due to Zhou Lingge.
It turned out that even the death of Concubine Luo was manipulated by the Queen behind the scenes.
The blood in Concubine Shu's body was flowing backwards and boiling.
Zhou Shiya...she won't let her go!
She must avenge Luo Bin for her child.
Concubine Shu did not alert the enemy. She came quietly and left quietly.
She came here this time just to confirm the truth she had found out.
Xie knew all of Zhou Shiya's secrets.
She would not let Xie die so easily.
Inside the hall, Zhou Shiya's expression changed, and she raised her hand and slapped Xie hard.
"Asshole, are you threatening me?"
Xie's mouth was bleeding from the beating. She spat out a mouthful of blood foam and couldn't help but chuckle sinisterly, "Your Majesty, why are you suddenly so excited? Are you scared?"
"How much blood has been stained on your hands over the years? Can you still remember?"
Zhou Shiya raised her hand and pinched Xie's mouth fiercely. Her eyes were filled with coldness and sternness. "Xie, if you continue to speak foul words, I will never help you protect the Xie family again."
"Think about it, what will happen to your brothers and sisters?"
There was a hint of panic in Xie's eyes, and she no longer dared to continue to reveal Zhou Shiya's secret to threaten her.
She quickly prostrated herself and kowtowed, "I was excited at the moment and said something out of turn. Please calm down, Your Majesty, and don't take your anger out on my family."
Zhou Shiya snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt: "I'll say it again, go to your death honestly and don't cause any more trouble, otherwise... you know my methods."
"Xie Huilan...we will never meet again."
After saying this, she left without any hesitation, taking Nanny Zhou with her.
Xie's forehead was pressed tightly against the floor, and tears slowly streamed down her face.
She knew... that she could not escape death.
She has reached a dead end.
Even though she knew all the queen's secrets, the queen had a hold on her weak spot, and she had to go to hell with these secrets along with her death.
She had no other choice.
That night, Xie leaned in the corner and kept her eyes open almost until dawn. She did not sleep all night.
She recalled the first time she entered the palace and the first time she slept with the emperor...
Those things seemed to have happened in the previous life, so far away from her.
If she could choose, if she could do it again, she would rather not enter the palace, not become His Majesty's concubine, and not be involved in any disputes in the harem.
At this moment, she regretted it!
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
With a creak, the palace door was pushed open, and a nanny in a gray brocade dress brought a delicate and delicious dish and placed it in front of her.
"Xie, enjoy your last meal."
After using it up, it’s time to hit the road.
Xie curled her lips and smiled sadly. She was like a walking corpse. She picked up a bowl of white fungus soup and tasted it very elegantly.
Even in death, she must maintain her final decency and dignity.
She quickly finished a bowl of Tremella soup. When she put down the empty bowl and picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food, she suddenly felt a headache.
The chopsticks fell from her hand.
She groaned and covered her head which felt like it was being pricked by needles.
"what……"
Then her consciousness gradually became cloudy.
There was a voice in my head screaming: "I'm not willing to die like this."
"Why are you so heartless to me?"
"Damn it, they are the ones who deserve to die."
