As she spoke, she began to laugh, and clasped her hands together even tighter. "I have always looked down on her. What is there about her that is worthy of respect? You know? When I was named Concubine Yi, she came to congratulate me, trying to please me and fawn on me. She was so shabby. At that time, she at least had the support of the old lady of the Xiangfu and the Prime Minister, but she was so humble and lowly. I look down on her. I really look down on her."
She tilted her head, thinking about many past events. She always felt that the present was like a dream. Her failure was just a dream, right
There was no way she would be defeated by Concubine Mei; she had never even thought about it.
This is almost impossible.
"Empress!" Jinglan and Qingfu both burst into tears. At this point, there was nothing they could do. Yilan Palace was sealed off, and even the message for help could not be sent out.
This nightmare came too suddenly, and they were not prepared at all. Everything was going so smoothly. Even when the whole city was blocked, she was able to send Sun Fanger out of the palace and properly settle her down. How could she have such a disaster
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Eunuch Lu’s voice, like a messenger from hell, rang out in the Yilan Palace.
Concubine Yi shuddered all over. She looked up at Jinglan and Qingfu, "You, think of a way to inform them to protect the third prince no matter what."
"Yes, my lady!"
A bright yellow figure walked in quickly, followed by a group of people.
Concubine Yi looked at him and smiled coldly. When she first entered the palace, she, like other concubines, had expectations of him.
But love is not permanent, just like his grace.
Moreover, she never thought that love was everything in her life.
Ever since she had a child, she began to plan carefully for her son. Her child would not have to experience all kinds of separations like she did in her childhood. He should be supported and climb to a high position step by step.
She still looked at him, his eyes were burning with rage, that rage could almost burn her.
Concubine Mei picked a good time. Xia Lin was gone and Sun Fang'er was missing. He was almost out of his mind. Therefore, he would not calmly think about whether everything Concubine Mei did was reasonable or not. He would just vent his anger on her.
She gently crushed the medicine in her mouth, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Father, father!" A figure flew out and rushed over to hug the emperor.
Her expression froze. Is it Huang'er? This silly child has been smart since he was young. He must have known it, but he must not plead for her.
"Father!" The Seventh Prince knelt down crying, "You are here! I am so scared. Mother has become very scary. I am scared to death."
The emperor lowered his head slightly and looked at the child who was trembling with fear. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear and panic. He hugged his legs like an octopus and half-knelt on the ground.
"Seventh Prince, hurry up and get up!" Eunuch Lu hurried forward and pulled him away.
The Seventh Prince hugged Eunuch Lu tightly, trembling all over. "Eunuch, save me, my mother said she hated my father and wanted to kill me to make my father sad. She said she liked my big brother and she hated that I was not his son. What should I do?"
As the Seventh Prince spoke, he burst into tears, crying very miserably.
Concubine Yi listened to these words and looked at her son whom she had always treated as a treasure. Since childhood, she felt that her son was extremely intelligent and quick-witted, so she determined that he would become an emperor in the future.
He was really smart. After saying this, his father would no longer doubt that he was not his son.
A drop of black blood oozed from the corner of Concubine Yi's mouth. She stared at the Seventh Prince with hatred burning in her eyes, "Rebellious son, I will never let you go even if I die."
This statement confirmed what the Seventh Prince said.
"Bitch!" The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and slapped her in the face.
Concubine Yi fell down, her eyes fixed on the Seventh Prince. It was hard to tell whether it was love or hate, or maybe both.
"Why do you treat my mother like this?" Her voice was unclear and only she could hear it.
She admired his wisdom and understanding of the times, but she didn't want him to treat her like this.
The third prince shrank back hard and cried so sadly.
Eunuch Lu hurriedly hid him behind him to prevent him from seeing Concubine Yi die with his own eyes.
The emperor ignored his position and rushed over, grabbing the last breath of Concubine Yi, and angrily asked, "Tell me, where is Sun Fang'er?"
Concubine Yi kept spitting out black blood from her mouth. Liang Shulin saw this and said, "Your Majesty, the maid pretending to be Concubine Zhao, like Concubine Yi, also had black blood oozing out of her mouth."
"Will you tell me or not?" The emperor was furious and slapped her several times in a row. Concubine Yi's fair and clean face suddenly became swollen.
Concubine Yi laughed weakly, "If she dies, you will never find her. If she dies, you will not be able to live..."
She suddenly took a breath, and crawled towards Eunuch Lu with all her strength. A poison needle shot out from her sleeve, and she roared, "Kill you, rebellious son, I will kill you!"
Eunuch Lu quickly held the Seventh Prince and stood up, avoiding the poison needle. Although he dodged it, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
The emperor's eyes were filled with rage when he saw this. He stood up, stared at her with hatred, and slowly gave the order, "Come here, drag her out and tear her into pieces!"
Liang Shulin received the order, raised his hand, and had someone drag the dying Concubine Yi out.
The emperor forced himself to stand, but he felt dizzy and his vision went dark. He closed his eyes, trying to suppress the dizziness, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell to the ground.
"Father!"
"emperor!"
In Xiwei Palace, all the imperial doctors in the palace gathered in front of the dragon bed, waiting for the person on the bed to wake up.
The emperor had been in a coma for two days and two nights. During those two days, he could only force himself to drink rice soup. He could only watch his life slip away inch by inch, unable to do anything.
The red spots on his body began to slowly show up, and faint marks began to appear on his face.
Sun Fang'er had fainted before, so he sympathized with her and asked her to stop using the Gu. Now, it has been more than ten days since she last used it, so his illness slowly recurred.
His eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, but he still tried hard to keep them open.
"Father!" Prince Liang called out to him with sobs while lying on the bed.
The emperor looked at him and suddenly felt that this son was a stranger, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart. His son, his eldest son, had grown up.
"emperor!"
Eunuch Lu also stepped forward and shouted, "What do you think?"
The emperor slowly turned his eyes away, and his mind slowly recalled the events before he fainted. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. That bitch...
"How is Concubine Mei?" he asked. Only now did he feel a little guilty towards Concubine Mei, the woman whom he had ignored for so long.
"Empress Mei has woken up. When she heard that the emperor was ill today, she cried and wanted to come to see him. Now, His Royal Highness Prince Liang just persuaded her to stay, so she came over," said Eunuch Lu.
The emperor listened quietly and sighed softly. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yilan Palace... dig three feet deep and dig out Concubine Zhao's body."
