Chapter 215 The Duke's Wife Who Saved the Queen (Unfinished)
Chapter 215 The Duke's Wife Who Saved the Queen (Unfinished)
The Peach Blossom Banquet hosted by the Queen was held in the royal villa outside the city.
Because most of the relatives were women, he only brought palace maids and a few guards.
Who knew that a group of assassins suddenly broke in and headed straight for the Queen.
Lady Liu, the Queen's sister-in-law Gao Zhiyuan, blocked the knife for the Queen at the critical moment and died on the spot.
The Empress, grateful for her kindness, issued an imperial decree to repay her kindness before the seventh day of her death, arranging a marriage between Duke Liu and Ning Yuxin, the daughter of the Ningyang Marquis. The most extreme of all was the decree that Gao Zhiyuan's beloved sister, Gao Zhiying, should marry Duke Liu as a concubine.
Gao Zhiyuan:? ? Damn it! If I had known, I wouldn't have saved you!
Gao Zhiying was later tortured to death by the Duke's wife.
"If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't want to save that ungrateful person again!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
At this moment, a group of assassins with swords came towards the queen. Sheng Jiang dodged and the queen tried to grab her hand, but her hand was empty. Her eyes flashed with anger and she ran towards Sheng Jiang.
Ginger: Don’t come over here!
Hide somewhere else quickly.
The assassin was so frightened when he saw that the person he was stabbing was the queen that he quickly put away his sword. When he saw the queen running towards the ginger, he also chased after her.
The assassin saw the queen holding the ginger in front of her, so he stabbed her without hesitation. Suddenly, the ginger fell to the side, and the sword pierced the queen's body.
The queen fell headfirst. Sheng Jiang took the opportunity to throw a lot of broken glass on the ground, and the queen fainted from the pain.
When the queen was assassinated, the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. He even moved to another courtyard to take care of the queen.
But when I saw the queen's bumpy face, I couldn't help feeling sick.
Duke Liu ran to find Sheng Jiang angrily, "Bitch! Why didn't you go save the Queen? Why did you hide?"
"Why can't I dodge?" Sheng Jiang grabbed him and beat him, throwing him back and forth. "The Queen's life is life, but mine is not life?"
What a bastard! In his previous life, after Gao Zhiyuan's death, Duke Liu was heartbroken, yet many people said he was deeply affectionate. Gao Zhiyuan didn't even make it to the seventh day of his death, and happily married someone new.
He also had bad intentions towards Gao Zhiying, but Gao Zhiying resisted. If he couldn't get her, he would destroy her and allow Ning Yuxin to torture her in every way.
Sheng Jiang threw him down until his face was covered in blood. Duke Liu stared at her with resentment, "Evil woman! How dare you hit me?"
"I'll beat you if I want. Why choose a day? You slander me without any reason. Why can't I beat you?" The assassin hesitated when he saw the queen. It was obvious that he didn't really want to assassinate her.
Maybe it was an assassin she arranged, deliberately creating the illusion of assassinating her. Given my personality, I would definitely risk my life to protect her. By then, I will be dead. You can marry someone more capable, and you can also consolidate the power of the Queen's second prince."
As he said that, Sheng Jiang grabbed him and threw him wildly, until he was almost dead.
"Liu Ruhu, don't you have two sisters? The Empress is still disfigured. Even if she wakes up, she will be useless and will disgust the Emperor. Why not give your other sister to the Emperor? This will also preserve your wealth and glory as Duke Liu."
"You're going too far," Duke Liu said weakly. "I only have these two sisters. Do they both have to enter the palace and marry the emperor?"
"Even though you say that, I know you're tempted," Sheng Jiang didn't care. "As someone who rose from a declining family, you know too well what power feels like.
Now the Queen is in a coma. Even if there are rumors outside about how much the Emperor loves her, what will happen in three days, five days, or half a month? How many princes and ministers are eyeing the position of Queen?
Duke Liu lowered his head and said nothing. As the Queen's brother, he had many informants and could find a way to quietly send his younger sister to the Emperor's throne.
Sure enough, not long after, it was heard that the emperor favored a new person in his other courtyard and she was named the new concubine.
To confer such a high position right after being favored by the emperor shows the emperor's favor. Duke Liu finally felt relieved.
Not long after she was promoted to concubine, the Queen woke up. Sheng Jiang went to see her.
"Bitch! Why didn't you block the sword for me? Why was I the one who got hurt?"
Oh wow? Is this rebirth?
Ginger took out a mirror and said, "Instead of worrying about this, why don't you take a look at your own face first?"
The queen suddenly saw her bumpy face in the mirror and grabbed the mirror in horror and smashed it, "No, this is not me! I will never be ugly!"
Sheng Jiang took out a mirror and said, "Queen, please take a good look. This is you."
"No, take it away! Take it away quickly! You bitch! This is not me!" The queen smashed the mirror again.
Sheng Jiang simply arranged the entire room, all six sides, into mirrors. "Go ahead and smash it. Even if one side breaks, there's still another side. If you didn't have this face, do you think you could become queen? You're just a stand-in for the previous queen!"
"No, I am not!"
Sheng Jiang sneered, "Why don't you dare admit it? Oh, by the way, I have good news to tell you. Your good elder brother has sent your sister to the dragon bed, and now she is the new concubine. It shows that she is more favored than you were at the beginning."
"You're talking nonsense! I don't believe my brother would do this! He loves me the most!"
"No matter how much I love you, can it compare to the splendor and wealth of the Duke's Mansion? Look at your current appearance, do you think the Emperor will still care about you?
If one day they get tired of you, how many princes and ministers do you think will rush to send their daughters to become queen?
Your good brother also has to consider his future. Do you think you are still important to his future as well as yours?"
"You must have instigated him! You're taking revenge on me for letting your sister marry my brother as a concubine in my previous life. You vicious woman, bitch! My brother shouldn't have married a vicious henchman like you!"
"So what if I instigated it? But the one who made the decision was your dear brother. If your brother hadn't been tempted, do you think I could have tied your sister to the dragon bed without anyone noticing?"
Ginger was still smiling, but the queen was furious, raging with helplessness and spitting out blood.
He couldn't die so soon, Sheng Jiang quickly called the imperial physician.
