"Miss, this has nothing to do with this servant! Back then, it was you who ordered this servant to put the sleeping drug in the Prince Rui's room. Moreover, all the ideas were yours. This servant just followed your orders." Thinking that Li Ruhua was going to punish her, the little maid immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Ruhua non - stop.
Li Ruhua was already extremely irritable. The little maid was chattering in her ear like a cicada, which made Li Ruhua even more annoyed. She covered her forehead, feeling extremely upset. Then she picked up the bronze mirror beside her and smashed it directly on the girl's forehead.
"How annoying! Did I even ask you? And you're just blabbering here!" Li Ruhua cursed like a madwoman, with venom in her eyes.
"Ah!" The little maid was hit and felt a sharp pain in her forehead. She squatted on the ground desperately, feeling as if the world in front of her was dyed red with blood. Her breathing became weak. She covered her chest uncomfortably and gasped for air.
"What? Are you trying to play dead here?" Li Ruhua turned around and looked at her, with disgust in her eyes.
"No..." The little maid shook her head aggrievedly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Ruhua stared at her, feeling extremely annoyed! Then, she raised her arm and slapped the little maid hard on the face. "You wretch! You even dare to bully me. I'll beat you to death! Beat you to death!"
Actually, what fault did this little maid have? She was just a poor scapegoat for Li Ruhua. Li Ruhua sneered and vented all her anger on this poor girl.
She had just been hit on the forehead and the blood hadn't dried yet, and now she had to suffer such inhumane treatment. She immediately couldn't hold on anymore. She raised her arm, trying to call for help.
"Slut! Don't say a word!" Li Ruhua didn't give her any chance to survive. Slaps rained down on her one after another.
Finally, the little maid really couldn't hold on anymore. She let out a desperate sigh, gave up struggling, and just lay on the ground, slowly closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Ruhua walked over and kicked her a few more times. "You're really good - for - nothing. You can't do anything right. Now you even dare to play dead in front of me!"
"I..." The little maid opened her eyes, as if she wanted to say something, but a sense of powerlessness came over her. She couldn't utter a sound. She just let out a bitter smile, then closed her eyes. Her head tilted to one side, as if she had lost her breath.
"Hey!" Li Ruhua was startled. She didn't expect this girl to be so fragile. She had died just like that.
Hua Yueye lived nearby, and they were going back to the palace tomorrow. If the little maid by her side suddenly died, she would surely be in trouble.
Li Ruhua covered her chest and wanted to go over to check if the stinky girl was still breathing. She lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand, and put her fingers under the little maid's nose.
She was really dead!
"Hahaha!" Li Ruhua suddenly burst into laughter. She shook her head and said, "It's really ridiculous. You can't even take a few hits. Even you want to go against me. Fine, just die! All of you die!"
Li Ruhua laughed desolately, but tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. She gritted her teeth tightly, feeling as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Now, her body had been defiled. Hua Yueye would like her even less. Moreover, if the charge of murder was discovered, she would surely die. Instead of going back to the palace like a poor wretch and being gossiped about by others, it would be better to end her life quickly.
Thinking of this, Li Ruhua took a deep breath. She clenched her fists, made up her mind in her heart, and then found a white silk ribbon.
She stepped onto a chair, gave a bitter smile, and hung the white silk on the beam. The face of Hua Yueye emerged in her mind. It was a pity that she would never see this man again in this lifetime.
Biting her lips tightly, Li Ruhua put the white silk around her neck and then kicked the stool away.
All the air was cut off from her neck. Her legs kicked painfully, and then she stopped breathing.
A beautiful woman died miserably.
Early the next morning, Su Qingwen yawned gently and woke up from the bed.
[System: Honey, there's new news. Hurry up and go to Li Ruhua's room to check it out.]
"What's going on?" Su Qingwen sat up straight and rubbed her eyes.
[System: I've detected that someone has died. It's within a radius of no more than 500 feet.]
Even so, it didn't necessarily mean that it was Li Ruhua. Su Qingwen thought longingly, but still obediently walked out to check.
When she reached Li Ruhua's door, she suddenly saw a crowd gathered there. Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed through the crowd and walked in. She saw Li Ruhua hanging like a "hanged ghost". Her head hung down, her face was as white as a sheet, and there was no sign of life.
Seeing this, Su Qingwen widened her eyes. She really couldn't imagine that this evil woman would leave the world in such a decisive way.
Someone came over to carry her body down. Su Qingwen lowered her head and covered her chest.
"Qingwen, are you okay?" Hua Yueye protected her in his arms and stared at her eyebrows. "She deserved what she got. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be afraid."
"I know." Su Qingwen sighed. It was true that she hated Li Ruhua, but she didn't expect that Li Ruhua would disappear from this world in such a decisive way. She shook her head and gave a bitter smile. "Let's go. I don't want to hear about this anymore."
"Okay." Hua Yueye nodded and took Su Qingwen back to the palace.
Originally, Li Ruhua wanted to harm Su Qingwen, but unexpectedly, she lost her own life first. It was really absurd and laughable.
After returning to the palace, Hua Yueye quietly buried her without disturbing too many people. He only said to the outside world that Li Ruhua had fallen seriously ill on the way back and suddenly died.
Hearing this news, Shen Lingyun smiled meaningfully. Seriously ill? It probably wasn't that simple. Someone had lost a right - hand man. They were probably going to be upset again.
"Sir, I heard that the emperor and Concubine Xian have returned to the palace. Ning Yunqing has been waiting at the palace gate since early morning, as if waiting for them." The spy came to report.
Sure enough, Ning Yunqing was a double agent. Shen Lingyun narrowed his eyes, with a more profound look in his eyes. Even now, he could still remember the way Su Qingwen rejected him. What was so good about Hua Yueye? He was just a character in a game. What good results could she have by being with him?
