The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 812
The emperor's eyes widened with all his strength, his eyes were about to tear apart, but the heavy breathing gradually dissipated.

Li Ruixiang didn't look at him again, just raised his hand indifferently, and closed his eyelids.

In the huge palace, this moment is really attributable to an unprecedented tranquility.

The night was as cool as washing, and the slightly cool breath diffused in from the window, dispelling the unpleasant smell of medicine in the hall.

Li Ruixiang stood up and straightened his robe.

The maidservant outside just walked in with warm water, lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Master, warm water is here!"

"En!" Li Ruixiang nodded lightly, his tall and thin figure fell under the shadow of the lamp, with a solemn and calm expression.

He took two steps to the side, gave up the position in front of the emperor's dragon bed, and said in a calm tone: "Go and prepare for the emperor, the emperor—he is dead!"

He uttered a few words extremely slowly.

In the empty hall, there seemed to be wisps of dark wind passing through in an instant.

Several palace maids were stunned on the spot, all pale Qi Qi looked at the emperor lying motionless on the dragon bed.

After a while, there was a crisp bang.

When the copper basin fell to the ground, steaming water was sprinkled all over the ground, but the entire imperial city was completely boiled from this half-hot basin of water.

The death knell sounded, and the dull and deep sound came from the deepest part of the imperial city, shattering everyone's peaceful dreams.

At that time, the fourth watch.

Chu Xinrui, who was kneeling in the empty room, suddenly got excited, straightened her back suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the sound outside?"

After what happened to Chu Yijian, their entire Prince Rui's mansion was completely defeated. In the huge mansion, now only she and Princess Rui are left to depend on each other.

It is true that Chu Qiyan has to thank Chu Qiyan for this. If Chu Qiyan hadn't found an opportunity to expose Fang's background and temporarily distract the emperor's attention, the emperor would not let their mother and daughter go.

Because Chu Yijian bears the name of a traitor and traitor, even his tablet cannot be enshrined in this family.

And these days, Chu Xinrui shut herself in an empty Buddhist hall without leaving home, kneeling before an empty table, her whole person lost her soul, without saying a word Even if Princess Rui came over to persuade her many times, it was all in vain.

This was the first time she spoke in days, her voice was hoarse, and it sounded more like a ghost coming from somewhere in the darkness.

Qingge, who was standing by the side, was taken aback, turned pale unconsciously, and hurriedly said: "Princess, wait a moment, servant girl, go out and have a look!"

After saying that, he was about to go out, but Huan Ge hurriedly pushed the door in, with a pale face, and trembling, he said: "Princess, it's not good, something serious happened, the death knell was ringing in the palace, it should be the emperor It's broken!"

The emperor had been lingering in bed for a long time. Although it seemed that his life was not long, no one thought that he would leave so suddenly.

Chu Xinrui was taken aback when she heard the words, her whole body froze, and she knelt on the futon without moving for a long time.

Huan Ge was afraid that she didn't hear her words clearly, so she walked in again, and said anxiously: "Princess, this death knell will not be struck casually, the emperor must have passed away, we - what are we going to do now?" ?”

"What should I do?" Hearing this, Chu Xinrui suddenly sneered in a strange way.

She raised her head slowly.

In just a few days, her face became a little thin and out of shape, with sunken eye sockets and protruding cheekbones. Combined with the dark and cold light in her upper eyes, she looked very creepy.

The two girls didn't dare to show it, they just lowered their heads to avoid direct contact with her eyes.

"It's really not the right time to die!" Chu Xinrui said, her tone was cold, and she said with undisguised hatred: "It would be great if he could die a few days sooner!"

If Chu Pei could have died a few days earlier, Chu Yijian could have escaped.

But that old thing has a hard life, and he insisted on delaying it for a few days.

Chu Xinrui gritted her teeth as she spoke, her face was ferocious.

The two girls didn't dare to talk to each other, they just exchanged glances in secret.

Chu Xinrui's eyes were gloomy and cold, and there was no trace of the decadence on her face, and she was about to get up on her knees.

"Princess, be careful!" The two girls hurried over to help her.

Chu Xinrui has been living in a muddle these days. On the one hand, she is concerned about Chu Yijian's affairs, and on the other hand, she is afraid that the emperor will settle the account afterwards.

She didn't try her best, and let the two maids help her get up and walk out.

"Did Concubine Mu go to inform her?" Chu Xinrui asked.

"The maidservant has no time to go there, but the death knell is ringing, and the concubine knows it if she thinks about it." Huan Ge said, carefully helping her across the threshold, "The princess has been kneeling here for a few days, and the little prince is here Heaven is alive, you should be distressed, and this servant will help you go back and rest!"

Once the emperor died, the current crisis of Chu Xinrui's mother and daughter was temporarily resolved.

After hearing this, Chu Xinrui didn't take it seriously——

No one knew better than herself how much trouble she had caused this time. Although the emperor was in fear, once Chu Yi'an was called to succeed him and Chu Xunyang gained power, she would die sooner.

"What are you resting at this time?" Chu Xinrui scolded coldly, and pushed her hand away, "Stop dawdling, get ready right away, and then tell the mother and concubine that the emperor is dead, we How can I not enter the palace to cry? Once this handle falls, I'm afraid I will die faster."

"Go to the palace?" The two girls were shocked when they heard the words.

"What are you still doing in a daze?" Chu Xinrui stared coldly across, the two immediately fell silent, and went down worriedly to prepare.

Chu Xinrui moved forward slowly, dragging her kneeling numb legs, and moved back to her yard.

Now the entire Prince Rui's mansion was slaughtered by her own hand, only Chen Si and her two servant girls survived, and the rest were the few people that Princess Rui brought with her.

The entire house was in a state of depression, and she didn't have time to wait for someone to serve her. She fetched water to freshen up, and when it was done, the two maids also took care of the previous things and returned to their orders.

"Princess, Chen Si has received definite news that the emperor is really dead." Qingge said, shaking off the plain clothes brought in from outside, and helping her put them on.

"What happened in the palace these days?" Chu Xinrui asked while changing her clothes.

The emperor's death was an opportunity for her to turn the situation around. Before that, her heart was ashamed, and she had been indifferent to what happened outside for a long time.

In just one thought, she had once again become the calculating and experienced Princess Changning.
