Chapter 278

"Stupid thing?" Concubine Shun smiled wryly, and said, "I used to not believe in the cycle of karma. Bad people do all kinds of bad things, but they can still live with peace of mind. Dai family members are all good people, but they were destroyed. I saw that the emperor loves the sixth princess so much, I think that if the sixth princess is gone, they will definitely feel the pain...hehe..."

"The sixth princess suddenly died suddenly, is it really your fault?" Concubine Ling looked at her in astonishment, and said: "At that time, Lafayette checked the princess's basic necessities of life, and found nothing wrong. Do it without anyone noticing?"

Concubine Shun said: "Princess likes to eat the cakes I made, so I will send them every day, and the trouble comes from the mouth."

Concubine Ling was shocked: "You mean there is poison in the pastry?"

Concubine Shun sneered and said: "The pastry is not poisonous, otherwise the imperial doctor would have detected it long ago. Food varies from person to person, just like the emperor forbids eating peanuts, but others can eat them without any problem."

The concubine Ling doubted: "So, the princess died of taboo?"

Concubine Shun said: "I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River since I was a child. Every spring, broad beans are in abundance. At that time, we would make broad bean cakes to eat. It is soft, glutinous and sweet, and children especially like it. But some people can't eat broad beans. It happened from time to time that they ate broad beans by mistake and died. The doctors in the town couldn’t find out why, but some people said that the broad bean empress wanted to be virgin.”

The night wind brushed across the calm lake surface, carrying a touch of coolness. In this summer, there was an illusion of a windy wind, which made people shiver.

Concubine Ling stared at her and said, "Why did you tell me all these things?"

Concubine Shun said: "My home outside the palace is gone, and the palace has never been my home. In the whole world, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia. What else can I hide from you, Madam?"

Seeing her ashen-ashamed face, Lingfei asked: "If I don't come to look for you tonight, what are you going to do?"

"Sacrifice the dead, and then throw yourself into the lake."

Concubine Shun spoke indifferently, with world-weary thoughts in her heart, and her whole person became lifeless.

The words of committing suicide, uttered from her mouth, were light and fluffy, without a trace of strength, but they were unusually decisive.

Concubine Ling stroked her shoulder, and said: "Concubine Shun, you are one of the few smart people in this palace, and your future is limitless. Without the care of your mother's family, you will not be restrained, and you will not be alone. Are you not afraid of death, are you afraid of living?”

Concubine Shun's voice was slightly hoarse, and said: "I thought the princess died, and no one found out that I did it. I also took revenge on the emperor, and I should be happy in my heart. But I stay in this palace like a death row, thinking about the princess all day long. For the trust in me, I even heard her laugh for several nights... I only know now that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but in just one year, the retribution fell on our Lu family. .”

Concubine Ling saw that she had made up her mind to go, she felt a little regretful after all, she still thought that if concubine Shun helped her in the palace, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Concubine Shun looked at Concubine Ling, and said, "I am able to achieve today's status thanks to your help, Madam. Therefore, I know your ambition, Madam, and I will fulfill your wishes. The matter of the imperial concubine Shujia is only a matter of When I repay my mother for your kindness."

Concubine Ling said with firm eyes: "You really know."

Concubine Shun smiled coldly.

Hiding in the dark place, Yipin heard the conversation between the two, her heart pounding, the shocking secret, these two people are the crime of beheading and exterminating the family!
With a thought in her mind, Yipin accidentally stepped on a dry branch and made a crisp sound.

"Who?" Concubine Ling looked towards her vigilantly.
