Chapter 17: Prepare for Anger

Chapter 17

Yuwen Hao, the fourth son of Emperor Mingyuan, and his wife went in after that. The next ones to go in were Yuwen Hao and Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling slowly took deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and ignored all the discomfort in her body.

On such a matter of life and death, she could not afford to be reckless.

Chang Gonggong said, "King Chu, Queen Chu, please go in."

Yuan Qingling got up with Yuwen Hao. He walked ahead and lifted the curtain, entering the innermost area.

Yuwen Hao knelt by the bedside, and Yuan Qingling knelt behind him. She swiftly took out a medicine box, and after the box hit the floor, it grew bigger. Yuan Qingling had no time to wonder why the medicine box would do that. She quickly took out an anesthetic and filled a syringe with it.

Immersed in grief, Yuwen Hao did not notice her actions. He choked out, "Grandfather Emperor..."

Yuan Qingling grabbed his hand. He instinctively turned back, a look of disgust rising in his eyes. Yuan Qingling had already injected the anesthetic into the inside of his wrist. Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

He was shocked. Rage flared up in his eyes as he looked at Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling let go of him and said, "Grandfather Emperor, your granddaughter-in-law kowtows to you..."

One minute passed, then two, then three, then four. The syringe was nearly empty. Outside, footsteps quietly approached. In a panic, Yuan Qingling said, "Grandfather Emperor, don't worry. Your granddaughter-in-law will definitely bear the Prince two or three sons, definitely."

The injection was complete.

She quickly put away the syringe and picked up the medicine box. As it left the floor, it swiftly shrank down again. She hid it in her sleeve.

She whispered in the Retired Emperor's ear, "You will improve shortly. Please allow me to remain in the palace so I can continue the medication."

She didn't wait for a reaction. Lifting the curtain, she went out and cried, "The Prince is overcome with grief and cannot stand up."

Chang Gonggong hurried in and indeed saw Yuwen Hao half-kneeling, half-sitting on the ground, appearing to have collapsed from excessive sorrow.

The Emperor also saw this. He sighed softly, and his gaze toward Yuwen Hao became much gentler. He ordered people to go in and help Yuwen Hao to a side hall to rest.

As Yuwen Hao's queen, Yuan Qingling naturally had to follow and care for him.

She was prepared to face however he would rage at her when he woke up. The Retired Emperor still needed treatment, so she had to keep him quiet, no matter the method.

And she could not keep letting him beat her.
