Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The imperial physician hurried to Lingxue Palace.

A large group of people surrounded Concubine Liu Gui.

Her sight was blocked by the crowd, and she could no longer see King Zhao.

She knew that King Zhao was unwilling to grant her request.

This is actually no surprise.

He has always had such a character, indifferent and decisive, never showing any sympathy for others just because they are in a weak position.

Concubine Liu Gui couldn't help thinking of the emperor.

Ever since she was imprisoned, the emperor had never looked at her.

Even if she made a mistake, they shared the same bed for so many years, and she gave birth to a son for him. So much affection, could it be wiped away in the blink of an eye?

In some respects, King Zhao and the Emperor are really similar.

How else can we say that they are father and son?

Tianjia is ruthless.

Concubine Liu Gui deeply felt the weight of these four words once.

The scream of the imperial doctor came to my ears.

"The imperial concubine is about to die!"

Li Ji stood alone near the door, watching everything in front of him coldly.

The screams of the old mother sounded outside the door.

"Your Highness Fifth, why are you here? You can't come in without the saint's permission, so get out!"

"Go away!"

The next moment, Li Yan appeared at the door.

Leaning on crutches, he opened the arms of others trying to block him, and limped into the house.

Almost at the moment he entered the door, Concubine Liu Gui died.

All the movements of the imperial doctors stopped for an instant.

The atmosphere in the house dropped to freezing point.

Li Yan noticed something strange, and suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

He walked over as fast as he could, pushing all the people in front of him away.

He saw Concubine Liu Gui lying on the bed.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, there was still a bright red blood stain on her lips that hadn't been wiped off, her hands were hanging powerlessly by her sides, her heart didn't heave at all.

"Mother Concubine..."

Li Yan threw away his crutches, staggered and knelt down beside the bed.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and held Liu Guifei's right hand tightly.

Obviously her fingers were still delicate and smooth as before, but they were frighteningly cold, and they no longer had the warmth of the past.

The voices of the imperial doctors rang in the ears.

"The imperial concubine has already gone, please mourn for the Fifth Highness."

Li Yan seemed to have lost his hearing, he couldn't hear anything, and he could only see his mother and concubine in front of him.

He called out over and over again.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, wake up..."

But no matter how much he cried and begged, he couldn't make Concubine Mu look at him again.

He finally couldn't help it, and big tears rolled down his face.

...

Inside Wangyue Pavilion.

The emperor was teasing the infant Seventh Prince.

The little child was held in his arms, his skin was white and tender, his eyes were black and bright, without any impurities.

When the emperor deliberately made strange noises, the baby would grin his toothless mouth and dance with joy.

Seeing the baby smile, the emperor also laughed.

He sincerely sighed, it’s better to be a child, as long as you make some random noises, you can make the child laugh, and it’s easy to be satisfied, unlike those grown up bastard sons, each one is more unconscious than the other Heart.

Hua Qingqing is still in confinement.

Since she was the seventh prince who was born prematurely, she suffered a lot during the delivery.

Her complexion looked quite pale, and her figure was thinner than before, and she didn't even have enough milk for the baby.

Fortunately, there are two nannies taking turns to feed, otherwise the baby would have to be hungry.

After teasing the child, the emperor handed him over to the nurse.

He sat by the bed, looked at the pale and thin Hua Jieyu, and said with pity.

"You have given birth to the Seventh Prince for me, and I will not treat you badly. The imperial decree to enshrine you as Zhao Rong has been drawn up. On the day when the Seventh Prince is full moon, I will let someone tell the matter to the harem."

Hua Qingqing smiled softly: "It is a concubine's honor to be able to bear children for His Majesty, and I dare not claim credit for it."

The emperor took her little hand, put it in his palm, and held it tightly.

"I know you don't like to fight, but I will never give you anything that is due to you."

Hua Qingqing knew that there was another sentence behind this sentence——

It's not your fault, and you don't want to think about it.

She leaned against him and said softly.

"I just want to serve His Majesty well, I don't care about other concubines."

The emperor took advantage of the opportunity to stop her slender waist: "Why are you still so thin? Didn't you drink the nourishing soup that I asked the imperial dining room to cook for you every day?"

Hua Qingqing: "Your Majesty has expressed kindness, how can I live up to this concubine? Of course I drank it."

The nurse next to her spoke at the right time.

"The imperial doctor said that Jieyu's body should not be repaired too much, otherwise it will not be enough to make up for it. It needs to be slowly and finely adjusted, and it will take a long time to fully recover."

Hua Qingqing looked at her, and said indifferently: "You are the one who talks a lot."

Mammy immediately knelt down, lowered her head and said.

"It's the servant who is talking too much, the servant deserves to die."

Hua Qingqing whispered to the emperor.

"Don't listen to the nanny's nonsense, the concubine is in good health.

You are busy with state affairs all day, you must be very tired, you are the one who should take good care of you. "

The emperor was moved by her thoughtfulness.

She intentionally reported the good news but not the bad, so as not to make him worry. Unlike those women in the harem who tried their best to compete for his attention, she was really thinking about him, even if doing so might make her feel wronged.

This thoughtfulness and tenderness moved the emperor.

He smiled softly and said: "My body has always been very healthy, but you have lost a lot of weight since giving birth, which makes me feel distressed."

With his concern, Hua Qingqing smiled contentedly like a child who got candy.

"As long as I can stay by His Majesty's side, I can do whatever I want."

The emperor touched her head and said helplessly, "Silly girl."

Hua Qingqing was very embarrassed by being coaxed, and her smile was sweeter than honey.

She said to Mammy: "It's none of your business here, you go down first."

"Here."

Mammy withdrew respectfully.

She knew that her Jieyu was always non-aggressive, very obedient, and would never tell the emperor anything, so she just opened her mouth to say those things on her own initiative.

Although she was reprimanded by Jieyu, it made the emperor love Jieyu even more.

So worth it.

When the emperor and Hua Jieyu were rubbing each other's ears, Zuo Ji hurried in suddenly.

He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, terrified.

"Report to Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui has passed away!"

Both the emperor and Hua Qingqing were shocked.

Inside Lingxue Hall.

Li Yan was pulled away.

The imperial physician slowly covered Concubine Liu Gui with a white cloth.

Li Ji withdrew his gaze and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Yan hissing.

"King Zhao, you killed my concubine mother, right?"

On the way here, Li Yan heard about it.

Concubine Liu Gui suddenly vomited blood when she was alone with King Zhao. Just now the imperial physician said that Concubine Liu Guifei died of poisoning.

Connecting the two things, isn't it King Zhao who poisoned Concubine Liu Gui to death? !
