royal husband

the next day.

Gu Rushuang recovered a bit, and let Li Jin and Ying Yuan enter the palace.

"His Royal Highness (Empress), are you feeling better?" Li Jin and Ying Yuan were brought to Gu Rushuang by Zhiqiu, and asked about Gu Rushuang's physical condition at the same time.

"It's much better." Gu Rushuang smiled back, "Zhiqiu, go and prepare something to eat."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Zhiqiu nodded and went down.

"Your Highness, are you still in good health?" Li Jin asked straightforwardly, "And yesterday, when Imperial Physician Shi replied to the emperor, he added 'but', but was interrupted by the emperor later. .”

"I really can't hide it from you."

Gu Rushuang shook her head and confessed.

"Empress...how is your body..."

Yingyuan couldn't continue asking, he was afraid that the answer would make him uncomfortable.At that time, Ying Yuan also heard Shi Weixu's unfinished "but", but Ying Yuan still hoped that he had heard it wrong, but unexpectedly, Gu Rushuang admitted it.

"I'm at the end of my life."

In a calm tone, Gu Rushuang told Li Jin and Ying Yuan about the illness that had been concealed all these years.

Gu Rushuang had a hunch that maybe not long before, he would be able to meet his two children whom he had never met in the ground.

"His Royal Highness, can't he be healed?"

Li Jin clenched her fists tightly.

Li Jin originally thought that Gu Rushuang would be fine if he changed the trajectory of his previous life, but after all, God's will is unpredictable, and Gu Rushuang still couldn't escape the word 'death' in the end.

Could it be... is this his punishment for changing the past?

Gu Rushuang shook her head and said, "Back then, I lost my child twice in a row, which has already hurt the root. In addition, I haven't had any recuperation in these years. I am very satisfied to be able to live until now."

Hearing Gu Rushuang said that he didn't take care of his body, Li Jin's pupils shrank immediately, "Your Highness, you..."

"Well, that's my choice." Gu Rushuang ignored herself and just recovered from a serious illness. She stood up slowly, walked up to Li Jin and Ying Yuan, patted their shoulders with her left and right hands respectively, and smiled, "Jin'er, Yuan'er, people are mortal, so you don't have to blame yourself or be sad. Maybe this result is the best for me, besides, I'm tired after being a queen for so many years."

Yes, Gu Rushuang had already made up her mind to die many years ago.

After all, after so many years in the palace, and after experiencing so many sad things, Gu Rushuang's heart was already riddled with holes. If he didn't want to see Gu Rulan's child grow up safely, and had Yingyuan, his adopted son, perhaps left early.

"His Royal Highness."

"Queen."

Li Jin and the two were taken aback by Gu Rushuang's sudden step down, and immediately helped Gu Rushuang to sit down again.

Because the wound hadn't healed yet, Gu Rushuang's complexion became paler after leaving like this.

"Empress Mu, does the emperor know about this?"

Ying Yuan could tell that Gu Rushuang was seriously injured and dying yesterday, and the worry and nervousness in Ying Zhengjing's eyes were definitely not fake, and there was no need to fake it.

Gu Rushuang smiled.

"Maybe you know, maybe you don't know."

How can people who have already lost their hearts care about it?

"By the way, Jin'er, Yuan'er, do you have the jade pendant I gave you?"

"Ah."

Li Jin and the two of them both responded, took out the jade pendant, and handed it to Gu Rushuang.

"Okay." Gu Rushuang nodded, and said meaningfully, "Keep these two jade pendants close to your body, and don't let anyone other than you see them. Maybe you will be able to use them soon."

Zhaohui Hall.

Ying Zhengjing sat in the main seat, looked down at Shen Ningyu, who was covered in bruises, and said indifferently, "Say, why did you assassinate the queen?"

"I didn't...it's all his fault...it's him...it's him..."

Shen Ningyu was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so she couldn't stand the punishment in the Punishment Department, so she was released, and she became crazy, and her speech was even more incoherent.

Yang Shaochuan explained in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, I heard from the eunuch of the Punishment Department that Shen Ningyu has only been tortured for one night, and she has already gone crazy. Apart from saying some intermittent crazy words, there is nothing useful to ask at all."

"Since it's useless, then she doesn't need to continue living." Ying Zhengjing withdrew his gaze from Shen Ningyu, and said coldly, "Yang Shaochuan, someone will drag Shen Ningyu to the Meridian Gate and behead him later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving Ying Zhengjing's order, Yang Shaochuan immediately winked at the guards, telling them to push Shen Ningyu down so that Ying Zhengjing wouldn't be an eyesore.

Ying Zhengjing looked at Shen Chaoyan coldly and said, "Shen Aiqing, what do you want to say about my treatment?"

Shen Chaoyan came out, cupping his hands neither humble nor overbearing, "Shen Ningyu committed a serious crime and deserves to be punished, I have nothing to say, everything depends on the emperor."

"That's good."

Ying Zhengjing withdrew his gaze from Shen Chaoyan.

Ying Zhengjing asked Shen Ningyu to be brought up, just to see Shen Chaoyan's reaction. In fact, Ying Zhengjing had planned to kill Shen Ningyu a long time ago, so even if Shen Ningyu could speak normally just now, Ying Zhengjing would not let him go. he lives.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Suddenly, Ying Zhengjing began to cough continuously.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Yang Shaochuan hurriedly took out the handkerchief he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Ying Zhengjing.

But still a step too late.

Ying Zhengjing coughed up blood in public.

This time.

The courtiers present were all frightened.

Because of coughing up blood, Ying Zhengjing had never shown/exposed/in front of anyone, so the hearts of all the courtiers were raised in unison.

"It's okay." Ying Zhengjing took the handkerchief from Yang Shaochuan in a calm manner, and wiped off the blood splattered on him, "What else is important? Continue..."

It's too late, it's too soon.

Ying Zhengjing had just finished speaking when he suddenly fainted.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Hurry up and tell the imperial physician..."

……

Ying Zhengjing is the emperor, every move is related to Daxia's lifeline, and now he suddenly fainted, which frightened the court and the public in an instant.

"This palace is the imperial concubine personally appointed by the emperor, who of you dares to stop me from entering?" Upon hearing the news of Ying Zhengjing's accident, Shen Qianxue hurried over to visit Ying Zhengjing, but she was still stopped by Yang Shaochuan.

It was the other concubines who encountered the same situation with her.

Concubine Qi Lan Xiwei gently reminded, "Eunuch Yang, the emperor is ill this time, so it is necessary to have no one to take care of him."

"Yang Shaochuan, Concubine Qi is right. It's really unreasonable for you to stop us from going in like this." The concubine Lan Yingying, who had always been at odds with Lan Xiwei, stood by Lan Xiwei this time.

Yang Shaochuan wondered, "My lords, I'm really sorry, the empress has ordered that no one can enter until the emperor wakes up."

"Didn't the queen just get hurt? What does he care about so much?" Lan Yingying said disdainfully, "Besides, the emperor doesn't like him at all. If he wakes up and sees him, the emperor may feel even more uncomfortable. Why not?" Let's go in and serve the sick."

crunch.

As soon as Lan Yingying's words fell, the closed door was opened, and after a while, Gu Rushuang, who was pale, came out with the support of Zhiqiu, "I am the queen who was proclaimed by the emperor, who are you?" If you dare to break in without my consent, I will immediately put him in the prison."

Gu Rushuang.

Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth and stared at Gu Rushuang.

He must have done it on purpose. I just finished saying that I am the concubine personally appointed by the emperor, and he said that he is the empress personally appointed by the emperor. Isn't this clearly slapping me in the face?

Lan Xi glanced at the expressions of the other concubines calmly, and suddenly asked, "His Royal Highness, we also care about the emperor. Do you have other plans for blocking us in like this?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Lan Xiwei's words instantly shook the thoughts of the concubines.

"Zhiqiu, help me enter."

Gu Rushuang didn't pay attention to Lan Xiwei's intention at all, and only after finishing what she was going to say, she asked Zhiqiu to help her in.

"Wait a minute." Lan Yingying called Gu Rushuang to stop, and asked sharply, "His Royal Highness left before answering Concubine Qi. Could it be that Concubine Qi really guessed it?"

"There is no need for me to answer."

"Your Highness, you are obviously guilty."

"Whatever you say, Zhiqiu, let's go in."

"No entry."

Lan Yingying, who thought she had caught Gu Rushuang, suddenly rushed forward, trying to pull Gu Rushuang.

but.

The guards guarding the gate were not vegetarians either. The moment Lan Yingying was about to grab Gu Rushuang, the guards immediately stopped her.

"Concubine Jin intends to attack the palace, you should take her to the dungeon first, and wait until the emperor wakes up to deal with it." Considering that Lan Yingying is Ying Zijun's biological mother, Gu Rushuang did not deal with her immediately.

But just like this, the concubines below did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would become the next concubine Jin.

After all, most of the people here are not like Lan Yingying, who has a prince by her side.

"What are you doing? I am the biological mother of King Wukang. If you treat me like this, King Kang will not let you go." Lan Yingying was frightened when she saw the battle, and she couldn't help threatening.

"This is an order from Her Royal Highness, I'm offended."

The guards here are all obedient to Ying Zhengjing, so they would not give up just because of Lan Yingying's words.

Not a moment.

Lan Yingying was caught by the guards and taken away.

"Zhiqiu."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Zhiqiu nodded yes, and helped Gu Rushuang inside.

This time.

Perhaps with Lan Yingying as a role model, even someone as strong as Shen Qianxue would not dare to speak out to stop Gu Rushuang from leaving at this time.

After Gu Rushuang left, Shen Qianxue walked slowly to Lan Xiwei's side, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Qi is really a good means, she borrowed the Queen's hand to get rid of Concubine Jin in just a few words."

Lan Xi raised the corners of his lips with a smile that was not a smile, "Imperial concubine, don't talk nonsense, concubines and concubines are both from the Lan family."

Shen Qianxue sneered.

"Come on, that kind of words can only deceive outsiders."

"The imperial concubine came over suddenly, didn't she just want to talk about this with the concubine?"
