Chapter 256 Silencing
She couldn't bear to see the young life slip away before her eyes again.
She had already reminded him of what she should have. If Lin Yan still didn't understand, then she deserved to die...
Concubine Wan shook her head regretfully and left Lingxiu Palace step by step.
Before entering the palace, Ye Wanxi thought that the palace was the best, most magnificent and most desirable place in the world.
Now, it was the beginning of her nightmare.
Everyone depends on the emperor for their survival, and with just a word from him, he can easily take away a life.
All the concubines who entered the palace wanted to gain the emperor's favor and become someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor.
However, the emperor has only one heart. If his heart is full of people, how can he have room for others?
The road leading to the emperor's heart has been blocked. Anyone who dares to get close... will inevitably end up in pieces and suffer eternal damnation!
Lin Yan stared at Concubine Wan's departing figure in a daze, quietly thinking about what she had just said.
Is she too impatient?
She originally didn't want to gain the emperor's favor in this way.
Yes... it was Sister Qin who told her that this was the only way for her to gain the emperor's favor quickly and smoothly.
So she believed it unwaveringly.
And do it one by one.
She never imagined that she would not only fail to obtain the emperor's favor, but also lose her own life.
Liu Quan didn't know what Lin Yan was thinking... He just wanted to complete the task assigned to him by His Majesty.
But he is not a particularly cold-blooded person.
"Lin...you can go on your own. Our family will give you one last respect."
After he said that, he waved his hand and the palace servants dragged Lin Yan back to the inner hall.
He stood at the temple gate and said, "We'll give you half an hour."
"If you're still not on your way after half an hour... then we'll take action ourselves."
After he said that, he closed the palace door from the outside.
Lin Yan was the only one in the entire inner hall.
And there was also the piece of pure white silk lying on the floor.
Lin Yan's eyes were dull. She slowly shook her head and muttered to herself.
"No...I don't want to die."
"I didn't intend to plot against Your Majesty in this way from the beginning..."
It was Sister Qin who guided her to do this.
Lin Yan's body trembled slightly.
guide?
Yes...it was Concubine Qin. Qin Keqing bewitched her and asked her to use aphrodisiac incense and the music score to gain the favor of His Majesty.
The incense was prepared by Qin Keqing.
All of this was instigated by Qin Keqing behind the scenes.
At first she was worried and hesitant, fearing that His Majesty would be angry with her if he knew the truth.
It was Qin Keqing who said that this incense was just an ordinary love-inducing incense.
Even if His Majesty suspects something, he won't be able to find any problems. By then, she will have His Majesty's favor, and His Majesty will be cherishing her and will definitely not bother with her about these trivial matters.
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and her face suddenly turned pale.
She is stupid.
She believed what Qin Keqing said.
So she walked step by step towards death.
Lin Yan's head suddenly buzzed... She suddenly remembered that day when she and Qin Keqing were competing for the emperor's attention, and Qin Keqing's eyes were cold when she left.
Her heart suddenly tightened.
She got it!
Perhaps from that time on, Qin Keqing began to hate him.
Therefore, everything she did was Qin Keqing's plan.
It was Qin Keqing who set up a trap. Not only did she want to harm herself, but she also wanted to kill two birds with one stone and get the child in the imperial concubine's belly.
And from the beginning to the end, she was a pawn in Qin Keqing's hands.
Lin Yan seemed to suddenly understand.
She quickly got up from the ground and wanted to rush to the palace gate to tell Liu Quan everything.
"Come here, Eunuch Liu... I know, all this is Qin..."
"Well..." She had just said half of her words when someone covered her mouth.
Lin Yan was shocked, her eyes full of astonishment.
What came into view was a man dressed in eunuch's clothes.
She pried the man's arms with all her strength, struggling desperately with her hands and feet: "Mmm, let me go..."
The man slapped her in the face.
The slap was so powerful that Lin Yan's head went dark.
The man immediately took the white silk and wrapped it around Lin Yan's neck.
Lin Yan's eyes were filled with fear, and her feet kept kicking the ground, praying that Eunuch Liu outside the hall could hear her voice.
But... there was no movement.
White silk was wrapped around her neck in circles.
The next moment, the man grabbed both ends of the white silk fiercely, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
"The chess piece has lost its function, and it's time to end it."
"Lin, go to death in peace."
Lin Yan felt a suffocating feeling, and her eyes were full of despair.
A tear rolled down her cheeks.
She couldn't break free, she was dying.
Who wants to kill her to silence her?
Could it be Qin Keqing?
How could she have such great power that she could order the palace servants to sneak into the inner hall without anyone noticing and kill people under Liu Quan's nose?
Lin Yan was filled with regret. Was it because Qin Keqing had been using her as a pawn since the moment she gave her the music score?
She was stupid. She actually believed Concubine Qin so easily. Like a fool, she let her lead her by the nose and walked into a desperate situation step by step.
The man grabbed the white silk and pulled it hard.
Lin Yan's neck suddenly tightened... She thought she was going to die, but suddenly there was a whooshing sound in her ears.
Her eyes blurred, as if a sharp arrow flew in from outside the door...
Ah... the man cried out in pain.
The sharp sword pierced his wrist, and his hand lost strength, and he immediately let go of the white silk.
With a bang, the palace door was kicked open.
Countless guards with swords rushed in.
The man in eunuch's clothes saw that the situation was not good, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to escape through the window.
As soon as he rushed to the window, Liu Quan appeared outside.
He flicked his whisk and looked at the man with a half-smile.
"Where are you trying to escape to?"
The man's eyes were filled with astonishment: "You...you guys...is this a setup?"
Liu Quan sneered, "Take him down."
The guards immediately rushed up, clamped the man's hands and feet, and pressed him to the ground.
The man wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide.
When Liu Quan saw this, he immediately had his jaw removed.
Lin Yan fell to the ground, covering his throat and coughing softly.
Her face was covered in tears, and the fear of surviving the disaster made her tremble all over.
Qin Feiling stepped in with his hands behind his back.
He glanced at the imprisoned man, then at Lin Yan, who was coughing and gasping.
"I'll give you another chance to live. If you can seize it, I might be able to spare your life..."
Lin Yan's eyes were filled with confusion, and she finally understood that this was also a trap set by His Majesty?
She just felt that she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope.
She didn't care about anything else, and quickly got up from the ground and kowtowed to Qin Feiling: "Your Majesty, I... I will tell you everything I know..."
