Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent

When Empress Dowager Guo heard this, she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and felt ecstatic in her heart.

dead, finally dead...

But she quickly calmed down and asked, "Is Wen Nong Nong really dead? Can you see clearly and carefully?" Shen Qingning was second, mainly Wen Nong Nong.

Qinglian heard the words and recalled the scene she saw at that time.

Because the head was full of blood, in fact, it was impossible to see the original face of its owner at all, but at that time, the person from Chiyu Tower pointed at the head and told her that it was Wen Nong Nong.

In her opinion, the people of Chiyulou should not tell such lies. Sooner or later, they will not be able to hide whether they are dead or not.

But now listening to the Queen Mother's words, she couldn't help but have some hesitations in her heart.

Is that head really Wen Nong's?

After all, the head was bloody, and it was impossible to see its original face for a long time.

But she has already said the words, it is impossible to say that she is not sure?

If this is the case, she will inevitably be punished.

Thinking of this, she could only bite the bullet and nod, "What this servant saw with her own eyes is indeed Wen Nong's head, and she is already dead."

When Queen Mother Guo heard the words, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried, and said, "Send someone to Xiangzhou to investigate immediately."

"Yes." Qinglian let out a sigh of relief and ordered to retreat.

There was no one else in the bedroom, and Empress Dowager Guo relaxed, and the smile on her face could not be restrained.

Ha ha!

Wen Nong was dead, and Shen Qingning, who coveted Gu Linchao, was also dead. Now, finally, no one could get in her way.

She lay down on her imperial concubine's couch and planned to apply pearl powder to her face.

But at this moment, a figure flashed out from behind the curtain.

When she noticed it, the sword in the opponent's hand had penetrated her chest.

"what--"

Empress Dowager Guo screamed and rolled from the couch to the ground.

"Come on, there are assassins—"

She clutched her bloody chest and screamed.

The assassin was about to strike her with another sword, but at this moment, the guards outside the door were already swarming.

The assassin looked at the Queen Mother Guo, who was lying in a pool of blood.

For a time, the sound of swords clashing could be heard incessantly.

"Come here, please call the imperial doctor!" Qing Lian lifted the blood-covered Empress Dowager Guo up with trembling hands and shouted sharply.

The whole palace was in chaos.

By the time the imperial physician and the imperial guard arrived, the assassin had already fled.

Gu Heng rushed to hear the news, and when he saw the dying Queen Mother Guo lying on the bed, he was shocked and angry.

"Si Luo!" Gu Heng shouted in a deep voice.

Si Luo stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"I ordered you to dig three feet into the ground and find the assassin." Gu Heng ordered, his face extremely gloomy and ugly.

In such a heavily guarded palace, he could easily teach the assassin to break in. He couldn't imagine that if the assassin came after him, wouldn't he end up like his mother?

Thinking of this layer, his face became even more ugly.

"Yes, Wei Chen leads the order." Si Luo stunned and led the guards out quickly.

The Queen Mother Guo was seriously injured, and a group of imperial doctors did not dare to breathe, and gathered around the bed to diagnose and treat the Queen Mother Guo.

Gu Heng paced the hall anxiously, and ordered in a deep voice, "You must heal the queen mother. If the treatment is not good, I will let you all be buried with you!"

His wedding date is approaching, but at this juncture, his mother was assassinated. If there is an accident, his wedding date will be delayed and his plans will be delayed.

There was a lot of noise in the Harmony Palace. Wen Ruyi couldn't sleep at all. After hearing the movement, she put on her clothes and got up.

"Hexiang, what's the matter, what happened?"

He Xiang, who was on duty at night, heard the movement and hurried over, "Why did Jieyu get up?"

"I can't sleep, it sounds like there's an assassin going on outside." Wen Ruyi held her hand and was about to go out.

"It's an assassin. The slave girl just went out to take a look. It seems to be a disturbance from the Harmony Palace." He Xiang said, persuading, "It's dangerous outside, Jieyu better not go out."

Wen Ruyi stopped when she heard the words, "The Palace of Harmony? The Queen Mother's Palace?"

"Exactly." He Xiang nodded.

Wen Ruyi felt a little overjoyed when she heard the words.

She was put into the cold palace that day, thanks to the gift of the Queen Mother Guo.

At that time, she didn't know why Empress Dowager Guo was so excited, but the last time she saw her punishing Tu Tong, she finally knew why Empress Dowager Guo was so excited to deal with her.

The Empress Dowager Guo admired Gu Linchao in her heart, and naturally she could not see that others had coveted thoughts.

She originally wanted to use this secret to threaten the Queen Mother Guo to help her, but now, it may not be necessary.

When she finds what Gu Heng wants, she can become a noble concubine.

And if Empress Dowager Guo dies unfortunately this time, she will have one less threat in this palace.

Also, Gu Heng and the daughter of the Si family are about to get married soon. If Empress Dowager Guo dies at this time, the wedding date will definitely be postponed.

It would be of great benefit for the Si family daughter to delay her entry into the palace.

Thinking of all kinds of things, Wen Ruyi couldn't help praying in her heart, hoping that the Queen Mother Guo would die soon.

"Hexiang, I'm a little hungry, go get me something to eat." Wen Ruyi said in a good mood.

She is pregnant and often hungry at night. In addition, she is in a good mood now, and her appetite is naturally better.

He Xiang nodded and went down to prepare food for her.

As soon as He Xiang left, Wen Ruyi was the only one in the room.

She felt that the room was a little stuffy, so she went to the window, opened it, and planned to let in the air.

But the moment she opened her window, she faced the shadow under the window.

She was startled, and when it was time to close the window, it was too late.

The other party blocked her hand to close the window and quickly jumped in.

Before she could shout, the other's hand had already covered her mouth and dragged her aside.

"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you." The other party said sternly.

The chill climbed up Wen Ruyi's back, and her teeth chattered with fright.

Immediately, she will be able to become a noble concubine and enjoy the supreme glory, and her child will be born soon. There is boundless wealth waiting for her, and she doesn't want to die like this.

Thinking, she forced herself to calm down and nodded vigorously.

Seeing that she was pregnant, the other party looked terrified, and let go of her hand.

"As long as you cooperate with me, I will not hurt you." The other party said lightly.

Wen Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then said diligently, "As long as you don't hurt me, I can find a way to help you leave the palace."

Hearing the words, the other party glanced at her with a scrutiny, but did not speak.

Wen Ru suggested that his face was covered, but his voice was old, and his eyebrows were gray, so he guessed that he was quite old.

The assassin from the Harmony Palace just now should be him, right?

She was a little curious, why did he assassinate the Queen Mother Guo?

If he was sent by someone else, he shouldn't have sent such an elderly man.
