Chapter 496: Death of Qian Min'er
Qian Min'er knew very well that during the time she had entered Prince Rui's mansion, she seemed to have gained Prince Rui's favor, but this man was unpredictable.
The look in his eyes as he stared at her seemed to be filled with a cold and bloodthirsty light, which made her feel cold all over.
"My Lord, Min'er will obey you in everything."
"Hahaha…."
Liang Hengrui burst into laughter. Suddenly, he reached out and hugged Concubine Qian. He whispered in her ear as if to warn her and compromise.
"Within two days, I will see fifty thousand taels of silver, and I will agree to promote you to concubine."
"what?"
Qian Min'er didn't expect that King Rui would actually agree.
Although she was not the principal wife, being a concubine was a great blessing for a merchant girl like her!
She suddenly remembered what her father said before she came.
"My daughter! Tell her this when you get back. Daddy believes that Prince Rui will definitely agree to our request for so much money.
Of course you can’t be the princess, our family is not qualified. But as for the position of concubine, hehehe… my daughter will definitely be the concubine!”
*
After being shocked, Concubine Qian knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed, saying,
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Alright! You can go back first! Send someone to deliver a message tomorrow morning. I am waiting for your good news."
"Yes, yes. I will not fail your orders."
After saying that, she got up and ran back with a happy expression on her face! She was extremely happy, thinking that her father was indeed a prophet?! She walked back with joy in her steps.
*
at the same time,
The news that Prince Rui made an exception and promised to promote Concubine Qian to the rank of concubine spread to every corner of Prince Rui's mansion.
Even the mute who poured night incense knew about it.
What’s more, there is Concubine Yin Ruyi in Lanyuan!
*
Orchid Garden,
"Knock knock knock..."
The head maid Binghua knocked on the door of the main house in a hurry.
Yin Ruyi, who had already fallen asleep, was suddenly woken up. She angrily yelled,
"What's the matter? Come in and tell me quickly."
"Yes, Concubine Yin."
Binghua entered the inner room trembling with fear, bowed, and quickly recounted the news she had heard tonight.
"What? You mean Qian Shiqi!"
Yin Ruyi heard this and suddenly got up from the bed.
The barefoot man grabbed Binghua by the collar and screamed with eyes piercing his own.
"Say it again? Did the prince personally promise her the position of concubine?"
Binghua now had the confidence given by Concubine Qian, and was no longer afraid of her master. She followed Concubine Qian's instructions and added fuel to the fire.
"Concubine Yin, how dare I lie to you! I just got the news and rushed to report to you! You better think of a solution quickly!
Everyone knows that our Rui Wang Mansion only has two concubines. If Concubine Qian becomes a concubine, the one who will be squeezed out is very likely to be you! "
Hearing this, Yin Ruyi didn't know whether she was frightened or got stuck in a dead end, she kept muttering,
"Concubine? Concubine Qian! Concubine? Qian Min'er!"
She just stood on the ground barefoot, as if she was frozen in place, not moving at all!
*
When Binghua saw her silly look, she was satisfied with the effect and thought of the silver given by concubine Qian.
It was clearly stated that the purpose was to provoke Concubine Yin in order to avenge the humiliation and beatings she had received.
The goal was achieved. Binghua, feeling guilty, did not dare to stay any longer and pretended to be considerate and said,
"Concubine Yin, I will not disturb your rest any longer! I will take my leave."
After saying that, he quickly closed the door and went out without waiting for Yin Ruyi to react.
She stood at the door, patted her chest hard, and let out a long breath.
She said to Linghua who was anxiously waiting for her with a trembling voice,
"I was so scared! I thought Concubine Yin would go crazy again, but she became completely stupid after hearing that!"
"Hush! Don't let her hear it! Go, go, go, let's go back to the house and talk."
He whispered and pulled Binghua back to the servants' room.
*
Late at night!
Except for a few guards who were yawning and dazed on duty at night, everyone in Prince Rui's palace had fallen asleep.
however,
After midnight,
However, a few creepy screams came from Concubine Qian's chrysanthemum garden.
The screams not only attracted the guards on patrol, but also attracted spies sent out from each courtyard.
then,
Louder screams, one louder than the other, echoed in the sky above Prince Rui's Palace.
*
Liang Hengrui was suddenly awakened, and with sleepy eyes he looked a little unhappy.
Eunuch Dong ran in with a pale face and stammered to King Rui,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qian is dead!"
"Who? Who's dead?"
Liang Hengrui, who was half asleep, was still a little confused.
"Your Highness, Concubine Qian was stabbed by Concubine Yin with a pair of scissors. The stab wounds were fatal. She is dead!"
Liang Hengrui's mind was still a little confused.
"Why?"
Eunuch Dong did not dare to hide it and replied,
"I heard it was because of the concubine position."
After hearing this, Liang Hengrui suddenly came to his senses.
"What? You said Qian Min'er is dead?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"what?"
He was greatly surprised, and he suddenly threw off the quilt, put on his clothes, got out of bed, and strode to the Chrysanthemum Garden.
*
At this time, the dark inner courtyard was already brightly lit.
After hearing the news, the women in each courtyard hid in the cracks of their own doors and peeped out in fear.
Chrysanthemum Garden,
Fifteen or sixteen guards armed with sticks, knives and guns had surrounded the gate and made it impossible to get in and out.
in the yard,
Concubine Qian was lying on the ground in the middle of the yard in dishevel, covered in blood, with a pair of conspicuous scissors stuck in her chest.
A pair of eyes that had long lost focus died with their eyes open.
The blood that was still flowing from her chest dyed a large area of the ground beneath her red.
Right now,
The murderer Yin Ruyi's body was also covered in splattered blood. She stood there with her head down like a fool, staring blankly at the dead concubine Qian lying on the ground.
Not far from the two of them was lying a little maid from Juyuan who had fainted from fright.
*
Eunuch Dong shouted loudly,
"Your Majesty is here."
Hearing this, the guards at the door were so frightened that they all moved away from the door and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop.
"My Lord, your Lordship."
They were so scared that they stammered and didn't know what to say!
Prince Rui strode into the yard.
Eunuch Dong looked at the tragic scene in the yard, shuddered in his heart, stepped forward and kicked a guard.
"What are you talking about? Why don't you just carry the person away? What if we scare the prince?!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Before the guards could get up and step forward.
Then the silent King Rui suddenly kicked Yin Ruyi away.
"Ah..."
Yin Ruyi suddenly woke up and screamed, falling heavily to the ground not far away.
King Rui's emotions suddenly burst out, and he roared,
"Why wasn't it you who died? Why don't you die? Bitch, return the money I gave you!"
He ran over again with a roar, still not satisfied, and kicked Yin Ruyi on the ground again, sending her flying.
