The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C217

Chapter 216 – Identification of the murderer

Emperor Ming said coldly: “That’s right, Love Consort, are you trying to cover for her?”

“No, Your Majesty misunderstood.” This concubine came here today to remind the emperor whether the person who assassinated the emperor was a martial artist or not, but Su Fei didn’t know any martial arts. ” The Imperial Consort Leng tried to defend herself.

Emperor Ming stood up from the dragon throne and said: “These can all be faked, don’t you know?”

“I can pretend, but I probably won’t do it again when my life is at stake. “Therefore, chenqie has a plan, I wonder if it’s feasible.” Imperial Consort Leng walked over to Emperor Ming’s side.

The Imperial Consort Leng told the Emperor Ming her thoughts.

Emperor Ming nodded his head in approval, and said: “Alright, let’s follow Love Consort’s plan, we would like to see if she is the murderer or not.”

The corners of Imperial Consort Leng’s mouth raised. As long as she helped Su Fei clarify things, she himself would not be suspected by Emperor Ming and would kill two birds with one stone.

The Emperor Ming gave her three days of time. Su Fei’er didn’t think about food or food and just wanted to find evidence to prove her innocence.

She paced back and forth in the Bright Moon Hall, hoping to find the traces left behind by the assassin that day. But at that moment, she heard someone moving around the house. He turned his head and saw a man in black on the roof.

“Men, men!” Su Fei cried out, but the guard didn’t come. She hadn’t seen the guard patrol since she came out.

The man in black was approaching her with a sword in his hand.

What was going on? Could this black-clothed man be an assassin? Imperial Consort Yu thought.

If it really was the assassin, he shouldn’t have run away, and only by capturing her would he be able to escape punishment three days later.

Su Fei stopped in her tracks.

“Who the hell are you?” She carefully sized up the figure. From the looks of it, it was a man.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is that I know that you are the person I want to kill.” As he spoke, the man picked up his sword and stabbed towards Su Fei Fei.

Su Fei quickly dodged and cried for help at the same time.

“Where are you going?” The man did not show mercy and stabbed her arm, causing blood to gush out.

“Are you the one who framed me?” Su Fei was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground and used one hand to cover her wound. It looked like she was going to die in this person’s hands tonight.

The man didn’t say a word as he placed the sword against her neck.

“I’ll tell you in the next life.”

Su Fei’s vision went black and she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was in bed. And the person standing beside her bed was Imperial Consort Leng.

“Su Fei, you’re awake?” Imperial Consort Leng looked at her with a smile.

“Imperial Consort Leng, why are you here?” The wounds on Su Fei’s arms began to hurt.

“Last night you met an assassin, I came to see you.”

A chill went down Su Fei’s back. Imperial Consort Leng’s smile made her feel afraid. Wasn’t she afraid that she would implicate her? Why was he so good to her?

Su Fei said: “Hmm, have you caught the assassin? I suspect he was the one who killed me. ”

“I didn’t catch him, but Emperor Ming already believes that there’s someone else. You should recuperate and plan your next move when you’re better. ”

Imperial Consort Leng finally helped Su Fei wash clean.

Last night, the black clothed man was the Imperial Consort Leng that tested if Su Fei knew any martial arts so he came up with this plan.

The truth proved that she was a weak girl without any ability at all. And the woman who fought against the Emperor in the imperial study that day was so skillful that Su Fei naturally cleared her grievances.

“Really? The Emperor believes that I am innocent? ” Su Fei was extremely excited.

Imperial Consort Leng patted Su Fei’s hand and said: “Mn, take good care of your injuries. In the future, serve your majesty properly. However, the culprit has yet to be found. The Emperor has already sent people to the Bright Moon Hall to keep an eye on them, just in case. ”

“Thank you for your concern, Imperial Consort Leng. If it wasn’t for your concubine, I wouldn’t even know how many times he would have died.” Su Fei’s face was covered in tears and was filled with gratitude.

Imperial Consort Leng stood up, smiled, and said: “No need to thank me, if you really want to thank me, no matter what you do, you must be loyal to me, and that’s the best way to repay me.”

“This concubine has been completely loyal to the Imperial Consort Leng. Every time I meet with trouble, the Empress would always be the one to help me. Su Fei’s eyes glowed with tears.

“Rest well. I’ll be leaving first.”

Su Fei watched Imperial Consort Leng leave.

Speaking of what happened last night, Su Fei couldn’t help but feel strange. Normally, the guards would patrol the place a few minutes later, but last night, there wasn’t even a single guard. However, he had finally managed to save his own life. The most important thing was to live a good life.

Su Fei looked at the wound on her arm and swore to find out who the culprit was. The people of the harem were sinister, and he had to be on guard against them in the future.

“Empress, now you can feel at ease.” Yun Er served the tea to Imperial Consort Leng.

“An Xin is only temporary. The real culprit has yet to be found. Emperor Ming is still very vigilant, could this matter be related to Emperor Yun? ” Imperial Consort Leng was deep in thought.

If this assassin is related to the Emperor Yun, doesn’t that mean that the Emperor is in danger? The people of the Emperor Yun s that existed in the palace, if one day they were to act like before, then he would also have a tough time usurping the position of the Emperor Yun.

The Imperial Consort Leng instructed: “Yun Er, send someone to serve Su Fei tomorrow.

“It’s the Empress.” Does the Empress still not trust Su Fei? ” Yun Er said.

“Is that what you should be asking?” Imperial Consort Leng glared at Yun Er.

Su Fei’s fate had changed, and she had regained her freedom overnight.

Just as Qin Luofei was wondering, how could the Emperor Ming not have a reason to let Su Fei go? It did not seem like the style of the Emperor Yun at all. This girl didn’t want Su Fei Fei to drag him into the water, but she could do anything.

Qin Luofei had personally gone to the Bright Moon Hall to investigate, and in the name of visiting Su Fei.

“Su Fei, Concubine Qin wishes to seek an audience.”

At this time, Lin He was showing Su Fei Fei her wound while Leng Mu helped her.

“Let her wait outside. This Concubine will change the medicine before letting her in.” Su Fei said.

When Lin He and Leng Mu heard that Qin Luofei had come to visit them, they couldn’t help but become curious.

However, he only lowered his head to do his duty and didn’t dare to say too much.

“Su Fei, the medicine has been changed.” Lin He said.

Thank you Imperial Physician Lin.

Leng Mu followed Lin He out the door and saw Qin Luofei. Leng Mu couldn’t help but give her another glance. He had already suspected that Qin Luofei was the one who assassinated the Emperor Ming the other day.

“Leng Mu, let’s go.”

Lin He shouted as he saw Leng Mu standing there, not moving at all.

Qin Luofei never dared to look Leng Mu in the eye. Every time she looked into his eyes, she always felt that he seemed to be able to see through her.

“Esteemed Su Han, chenqie heard that you were injured and came to take a look.” Qin Luofei followed the maid into the inner room. Seeing Su Fei Li half-leaning on the bed, his face looked somewhat haggard.

“Thank you, Concubine Qin, for your concern.” When the imperial harem heard the rumors about her assassinating the Emperor, no one dared to get close to her. This woman wasn’t afraid of anything and came to visit him on her own accord? I don’t know what was on my mind.

Qin Luofei stroked the hairpin on her temples as she smiled, saying, “Chenqie knew that the Empress was injured, so she specially brought some tonics.”

“This concubine is deeply grateful that Concubine Qin did not abandon her previous hatred and come to visit this concubine.” Su Fei Fei couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine Qin Luofei had bought from the gourd.

Qin Luofei looked at her with a gaze that didn’t seem to be sincere.

Qin Luofei laughed, “The past is all in the past, but why did the emperor suddenly change his mind when his suspicions towards Empress Su and your injury?”

This was the true purpose of Qin Luofei’s visit today.

“Why is Concubine Qin so curious about my injuries? This wound is an assassin’s stab wound. ” Su Fei was also constantly trying to figure out Qin Luofei’s thoughts.

Qin Luofei saw Su Fei Fei’s skeptical gaze, and said lightly: “Chenqie was just casually asking, seeing the Empress’s injury it will take more than half a month to recover. Since Su Fei An is recuperating, I won’t disturb you for too long. ”

“Take care, Concubine Qin.”

Within the harem, only the Concubine Qin dared to oppose the Imperial Consort Leng. It seemed that it wasn’t that simple for this woman to come to see him today.

Qin Luofei couldn’t help but be curious as she walked out of the Bright Moon Hall. Su Fei was stabbed by an assassin, but who was this assassin? Who else in the palace was watching this from behind the scenes?

She kept her head down as she walked out, and suddenly she bumped into a wall of flesh.

“Concubine Qin, be careful. Is the emperor alright?” Someone from the Young Eunuch exclaimed.

Qin Luofei looked up and saw Emperor Ming staring at her. His eyes were so cold.

“Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty.” Qin Luofei hurriedly paid her respects to the Emperor Ming.

“Concubine Qin just came out of Bright Moon Hall? You just went to see Su Fei? ” Emperor Ming asked.

“Exactly.”

Even the concubines of the harem wanted to hide far away when they saw Su Fei, but this woman actually took the initiative to visit them. Wasn’t he worried that he might suspect her? The Concubine Qin gave him a very special feeling, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was special about it.

Emperor Ming asked: “How is Su Fei’s situation?”

“The imperial physician has already helped her change the medicine. It looks a little better, but it might take some time to recuperate.” Qin Luofei replied respectfully.

“Why do you always lower your head when you speak to me?” The Emperor Ming said as he lifted her chin.

Qin Luofei knew that Emperor Ming was someone who could easily see through the thoughts in a person’s eyes. He was a very shrewd person, she did not want him to see through her true thoughts just like that. Thus, she kept her head down when she saw him, not daring to look him in the eye.

“Your eyes are full of resentment? “Do you hate me?” Emperor Ming stared into her eyes and asked.

“Your Majesty, it’s a misunderstanding. Why would chenqie resent Your Majesty?” It seems that you are not at ease looking at the emperor. You look more haggard than the last time I saw you. ” Qin Luofei promptly replied.

“Unsettled?” Emperor Ming suddenly laughed out loud.

Qin Luofei tensed up. This cruel and merciless man could do anything. He might even execute himself if he was in a bad mood. The current Emperor Ming was even more brutal than the him of the past.

“Would a mere assassin cause This Emperor to feel uneasy?”

He was the emperor, how could he admit the unease and fear in his heart? Even if there was, she wouldn’t have admitted it. Although Qin Luofei’s words were true, it had angered the Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming would never have thought that the woman in front of him knew him better than he did.
