I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 263: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 09

After all, Concubine De was not so lucky. She never woke up. After three days of coma, Concubine De finally opened her eyes with difficulty. The imperial physician who was guarding beside her hurried forward to take her pulse.

When the people in the palace saw her wake up, they hurried to the side hall to inform Yinzhen and Fourteenth Prince.

Of course, Yu Ludai was also here today. After all, the imperial physician had already said that Concubine De was beyond saving, so of course she had to come to see her for the last time.

Yinzhen and Fourteen came forward, and Yinzhen asked, "How is it, mother should be fine now."

The imperial physician shook his head and said, "This is the last moment of life for the Empress Defei. I am really powerless to help you."

When Fourteen heard this, he threw himself on the bed, his voice choked with sobs, his eyes slightly red: "Mother, mother, I am Fourteen, mother, you have to hold on, I don't want you to leave."

Yinzhen clenched his hands tightly, his face showing pain.

The Fourteenth Son's wife was also very sad. After all, Concubine De had always doted on her son, the Fourteenth Son, and had been very good to his wife.

And Yu Ludai, seeing that everyone was so sad, pretended to be sad and wiped away her non-existent tears.

Defei, who was lying on the bed, regained some consciousness. She wanted to reach out and touch her Fourteenth Son's head, but it was impossible for her to do so. Not only could she not move, she couldn't speak either. Her eyes could only roll around.

Suddenly, she saw Yu Ludai.

Yu Ludai stood behind everyone and gave Defei a half-smile. At this moment, Defei finally wised up and understood everything. It turned out that she became like this because of Yu Ludai.

This is the daughter-in-law whom she has always disliked.

Moreover, her current illness is very similar to the medicine she had someone give to Niuhulu.

In Concubine De's own mind, she thought that what she did was very secretive and Yu Ludai could not possibly find out. If she really found out, could she kill her in order to avenge Honghui?

She was her elder, there was no way she could kill her.

But unexpectedly, she underestimated Yu Ludai. She actually dared to poison her and succeeded.

After figuring this out, she didn't feel any regret in her heart. She didn't regret wanting to poison Honghui. She was just angry and unwilling. If she were given another chance, she would attack Yu Ludai first and would never let her live.

Defei felt that her breathing was becoming more and more difficult and she felt that she was about to die, but she didn't want to die yet. She had not seen the Fourteenth Emperor ascend the throne, and she had not become the Empress Dowager yet. How could she die?

But no matter what she was thinking, after a burst of rapid breathing, she finally died.

But her eyes were always fixed on one spot and never closed.

After Defei's death, Yinzhen was very sad, after all, she was his biological mother. Yuludai also stayed by Yinzhen's side and was busy with the funeral arrangements for Defei.

Of course, she did not forget about Niuhulu, and she could not let her live in this world.

So, one day, when Niuhulu left the yard where she lived and was taking a walk in the backyard, she accidentally slipped. It had rained the night before and the road was slippery, so she fell very seriously.

She fell on her butt and hit her head on a sharp corner. A lot of blood came out of her head and she died on the spot.

When they learned the news, Yinzhen and Yuludai were both in the palace.

Yinzhen was already very sad about the death of his mother, and now Nianhulu was causing more trouble for him. Nianhulu was just a princess in the mansion, and Yinzhen had no feelings for her, so he was not sad about her death.

He just said lightly, "Let him be buried," and said nothing more.

Yu Ludai knew that Niu Hulu was pregnant, but so what? She already wanted to harm her Honghui, so why should she let her go just because she was pregnant?

There is no such thing.

Yinzhen didn't care, Yuludai didn't say much, and the other princesses in the backyard certainly wouldn't be sad, so Nianhulu's death was silent and without causing any splash.

After Defei's funeral, her life returned to normal.

She was adept at managing the mansion and didn't feel tired at all.

On this day, Honghui came to the main courtyard to have meals with Yuludai as usual. There was no rule between mother and son that they should not talk while eating. While having meal, Yuludai listened to some interesting things that Honghui encountered while studying in the Shangshufang, which was very heartwarming.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Honghui picked up a book to read while Yuludai was embroidering.

At this time, Yinzhen walked in.

Honghui stood up: "Father."

Yinzhen nodded with a grim expression. Honghui and his mother Yuludai looked at each other. Honghui understood that Yinzhen's temper was not directed at her.

But he was really curious about who could have made Amma so angry.

Honghui asked: "Ama, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Looking at his eldest son, Yinzhen did not hide anything.

It turned out that when he came out of the palace today and was riding his horse on the road, a woman suddenly rushed over and stood directly in front of him. If he had not pulled the rope in time, the woman would have been knocked away.

Concubine De passed away last winter, and it has only been half a year to date, but Yinzhen has not yet gotten over his mother's death. Unlike in the original plot where Concubine De did not pass away, he was able to patiently deal with the fact that Ruoxi was about to hit his horse.

This time, he was very angry. He was not stupid and he could see that the woman hit his horse with the intention of committing suicide.

Yinzhen didn't care whether she died or not, and even if she died, it had nothing to do with him. However, there are many ways to commit suicide, and she shouldn't commit suicide by hitting his horse.

If the Emperor and Old Eighth Brother, who has always been at odds with her, knew about this, he would definitely be in trouble.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, but there were too many things going on at the moment and he couldn't waste his time on that woman.

It's okay this time, but if there is a next time, he won't let her go as easily as he did today.

After Yu Ludai heard what Yinzhen said, she knew that the woman who hit the horse must be Zhang Xiao who came from other times.

Zhang Xiao traveled here from the modern times, and she couldn't stop him.

She has changed a lot in the world now. If Zhang Xiao knew about it, he would definitely suspect her. After all, Honghui is still alive, and Hongli's biological mother, Niuhulu, is dead.

Zhang Xiao is not a rational person. When she saw her boyfriend cheating on her, she went up to him and started making a scene without saying a word.

Yu Ludai also understood. She liked her boyfriend at the time, and she would definitely be sad when she saw that sad scene.

But she was sad and angry, but she shouldn't vent her anger on an innocent person. The maintenance worker kindly reminded her to be careful and not to touch the electricity, but she took his kindness for granted and yelled at him to get out without saying a word.

Yu Ludai was sure that if such a person could go crazy at any time, she would definitely drag her, who was suspected of being a time traveler, into the matter if she encountered something unpleasant.
