Chapter 173 Concubine Liu Angrily Rebukes Concubine Liang
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were filled with a storm: "Are you threatening me? Or do you think that there is no one else available in my Great Zhou except your father?"
Liu Ruyan's heart trembled, and she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant. I just want to ask for your mercy! Your Majesty..."
Seeing the disgust in the emperor's eyes, Li Changde nodded to the two young eunuchs beside him: "Hurry up and go!"
The two men immediately stepped forward, held Liu Ruyan on the left and right, and dragged her outside.
Liu Ruyan's pale face was covered with tears: "Your Majesty! You can't be so heartless to me! Your Majesty..."
Even at this point, she did not give up Queen Jiang.
It wasn't that she was afraid of implicating her family. After all, His Majesty had ordered the execution of the entire Liu family, so how could she have any family? But Liu Ruyan felt that as long as the Queen was around, she would not let Shen Zhinian go!
"Bitch!!!"
Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Zhinian, struggling madly: "It's all your fault! You're the one who brought me to this point. I won't let you go even if I become a ghost! Bitch!!!"
Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart and was too lazy to bother with a dying person.
If there is a next life, I hope Liu Ruyan can learn to be smarter and stop going against her!
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was still cursing, the young eunuch on the left stopped, swiftly took off his socks and stuffed them into her mouth, then continued to drag her to the cold palace.
Liang Fei's eyes flashed with pity, and she sighed and said, "Your Majesty, seeing blood at the end of the year is unlucky after all. It's better to wait until after the New Year to deal with Liu."
Liu Ruyan had committed countless crimes. If anyone else pleaded for her, they would definitely be targeted. However, all the concubines in the palace had received favors from Concubine Liang and knew that she was such a good person, so they were reluctant to speak up.
But with Concubine Liu's temper, she never gave face to anyone, and she immediately retorted: "Concubine Liang also knows that it is the New Year! The incident that happened to that bitch Liu Ruyan has made everyone's New Year's celebration uneasy. Your Majesty only executed her entire family instead of killing all nine clans, which is already merciful enough."
"Besides, seeing blood in the New Year is unlucky, but isn't tonight New Year's Eve? We are getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. Are we going to let a vicious woman like that live until the New Year?"
Concubine Liang was suddenly speechless.
Shen Zhinian wanted to applaud after listening to this! Concubine Liu was simply her mouthpiece.
The emperor waved his hand in annoyance, and Li Changde immediately sent someone to do it.
He had served His Majesty for so many years, and he knew that although His Majesty was ruthless in handling government affairs, he was very lenient to his wives and concubines. This time, he ignored the fact that today was New Year's Eve and wanted to execute Liu, which showed that he was really angry.
There are always dirty things happening in the palace, why is His Majesty so angry today? In the final analysis, it is because Liu is plotting against Concubine Rou.
Alas... Concubine Rou has suffered such a great injustice today, and I don't know how His Majesty will comfort her. If the two of them have a quarrel, I'm afraid the servants serving in the Yangxin Palace will have a hard time.
……
Cold palace.
The steward came in with a tray and placed it in front of Liu Ruyan, sneering, "Liu, His Majesty has issued an order to execute you. Here are white silk, a dagger, and poisoned wine. Choose one."
Until now, Liu Ruyan still couldn't accept the fact: "No... I don't believe it... I don't believe it!"
Before entering the palace, both she and the entire Liu family thought that with her beauty and scheming, she would definitely be able to secure a place in the harem. Even the position of queen might be something she could dream of!
But why did she end up being sentenced to death in just a few months? What went wrong?
"I want to see your Majesty! I want to see your Majesty!"
The cold palace was under the jurisdiction of Shen Zhinian. What happened today had already spread throughout the harem. How could the steward give Liu Ruyan face? "You are the only one who wants to see His Majesty? His Majesty is busy accompanying Concubine Rou, so how can he have time to see you?"
"Liu, if you don't want to be decent, this eunuch will have to help you be decent!"
After he finished speaking, the steward picked up the wine jug on the tray and walked towards Liu Ruyan step by step: "You guys, hold her down."
"Yes!"
Liu Ruyan struggled frantically: "How dare you! No matter what I am, I am still your Majesty's concubine. How dare you lay a hand on me?!"
"Snapped!"
The steward didn't tolerate her and slapped her in the face: "We really don't dare to do anything to your majesty's woman, but your majesty has already demoted you to a commoner. What's the difference between you and us servants?"
"You even dared to frame Concubine Rou. You deserve this fate. Let's go!"
The steward was too lazy to talk nonsense with Liu Ruyan and directly poured the entire pot of poison wine into her mouth.
The two young eunuchs pushed her away in disgust.
Liu Ruyan lay on the freezing cold ground, and soon she felt a cramp in her abdomen.
Because of the severe pain, her body curled up like a cooked shrimp and she vomited mouthfuls of black blood.
As her life force slowly faded away, many images suddenly appeared in Liu Ruyan's mind, like a kaleidoscope of images.
She saw that when she first entered the palace, she met the imperial physician named Tang Luochuan in the imperial garden. Because she found a way to save his mother and sister, Tang Luochuan was loyal to her from then on and became the sharpest knife in her hand!
There is no such person as Shen Zhinian beside His Majesty.
With her beauty and shrewdness, coupled with Tang Luochuan's superb medical skills, she was invincible in the harem.
She climbed up step by step, from concubine to noble lady to concubine. Not only His Majesty, but also the concubines in the palace praised her for her gentle nature and virtuous character.
In the end, His Majesty placed great hopes on her and made her the head of the four concubines, the virtuous concubine. From then on, she was the most favored concubine in the six palaces!
Even the noble concubine Liu, who had a distinguished family background, was overshadowed by her for a time. In the battle for the empress's throne, she was even more favored by His Majesty than the noble concubine Liu.
In a trance, Liu Ruyan's eyes saw the cold ground of the cold palace one moment and the glorious scene when she was conferred the title of Consort Xian the next.
Which one was real and which one was fake? The severe pain in her body made it impossible for her to tell.
“Haha…hahahaha…I am the virtuous concubine who is the first among the four concubines…I will be the noble concubine…the imperial concubine…until, until I become the empress! Mother, Mother Yi Tian…”
Before she could finish her words, Liu Ruyan vomited another mouthful of black blood and died completely.
The young eunuch stepped forward and felt her breath: "Eunuch, Liu has passed away."
The steward spat, "She is the virtuous concubine, the noble concubine, the imperial concubine, the queen? I'm afraid she has gone insane and is just fantasizing before she dies."
"Send someone to report to Eunuch Li. Then find a broken straw mat, wrap her up and throw her into the mass grave."
"It's New Year's Day, and you're just trying to bring bad luck to us, bah!"
