Chapter 550: Escape (4)_1
When Dumeiren first entered the room and saw the scene that had led to Jing Guifei’s exclamation, she wasn’t too taken aback. She simply walked around the table and hurried to the couch.
"Cai Wei, how are you? Open your eyes and look at me...God, you were fine this morning, how did things come to this so suddenly?"
Seeing Cai Wei unconscious on the couch, Du Meiren felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Tears flowed like rain.
She had heard about what happened to Cai Wei at noon. Although she was anxious, her low status denied her the right to enter the palace. She had to wait painfully, and when she was finally able to see Cai Wei, she found her in a lifeless state. How could that not cause heartache?
She held Cai Wei’s hand, crying profoundly, rambling, "Why is my fate so bitter? Betrayed by my own parents and enduring more than ten years in the cold palace, finally got a daughter that I could love, only for her to be taken away from me just like that..."
Listening to her lamenting, Cai Wei was deeply moved, but mostly she was anxious. Saknu was in a violent rage. What if Doctor Liu couldn’t handle him? What if he turned his beastly gaze upon Du Meiren? If it were just her, she could handle him easily, but with Du Meiren there, things became more complicated.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to worry for long. At last, Saknu roared in fury and stopped.
Doctor Liu was already dead, her eyes wide open, motionless on the table. A pool of blood flowed from the table onto the floor, creating a monotonous dripping sound. The smell of blood mingled with Hong Rui’s, creating a strong, pungent odor.
"Servants!"
At Saknu’s command, two of Liaodan’s guards entered the room and knelt on the ground.
"Awaiting your orders, Master!"
