C80 Life-Suspended Line

"In reply to your majesty, Concubine Xian's body was already weakened from the wounds on her body, but her wounds were clearly soaked in water, which was why she became inflamed. In addition to the cold, it caused her to become feverish, and her body is still weak now, but this was clearly due to someone giving medicine to the Empress before, which saved her life." The imperial physician seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

If not for someone feeding her medicine, she would probably be a corpse by now.

"What did you say!" Fu Yuheng picked up the imperial physician's collar, his eyes glowing red.

Momentarily, the impulse seized control of his reason. It was only when the imperial physician struggled a few times that his face turned red from anger. Only then did he regain his composure from his rage.

She almost died! He had clearly not given the order to do this to her, so how could this happen?!

As he grew suspicious, his face calmed down a little. He glanced at the imperial physician in his hand and tossed him to the side.

"Humph!" Fu Yuheng snorted coldly. He knew in his heart that the person who had allowed Shen Qing Wan to keep her life was his Ninth Brother Fu Huaiyu, someone who knew how to pity others. However, this person was not someone he should pity.

Perhaps, he was really careless this time around. If it wasn't for Fu Huaiyu coming to find him, he probably wouldn't have gone to look for her in the prison, and naturally wouldn't have known of her situation. At that time, he might really let her die.

Fu Yuheng took a glance at the person lying on the bed before sitting down and gently stroking her face with his finger. The person before him was no longer as agile as before; all that remained was his pale complexion and weak breathing. Even after staring at her for so long, she had not reacted at all.

"It is my fault." He sighed.

As the emperor, he was originally a pair of palms that controlled the entire world. It could be said that with a flip of his hand, he turned the clouds into rain, but now, he even made a mistake on such a small matter.

"All of you can leave first." He waved his hand, signalling for everyone to leave. "Imperial Physician, I'll leave Consort Xian in your care for now. If there's anything you need, just tell me directly." He specially instructed the imperial physician before continuing to stare at the person on the bed.

Shen Qingwan's eyelashes fluttered, but there was no sign of her waking up at all.

"It's been hard on you this time." Fu Yuheng mumbled to himself, "I didn't expect that I would be unable to accomplish such a small task even though I've set my heart on the world."

He still hasn't found out anything about Shen Qingwan's matter. If she had known, she might have mocked him. After all, she was such a smart person.

It wasn't that he didn't want to release her, nor was it that he didn't have any feelings for her. However, he couldn't. Under the pressure from all sorts of places, a single wrong step would result in him falling into the abyss.

This world wasn't really for him to reign supreme.

"But how can you! How can you be confused with my ninth brother? Don't tell me you don't know that you are my woman! Or do you have no idea what shame is?! " Thinking of this, he felt a bit of anger in his heart.

She was his concubine, so how could she throw herself at other men? How could she seduce other men!

At this moment, Shen Qingwan's finger moved slightly. Fu Yuheng lowered his head and saw this scene, causing him to feel slightly happy. Lifting his head, he shook her body and called her name a few times, but the person on the bed didn't respond at all.

"Forget it, it's my turn now." He smiled sarcastically. Perhaps it was because he was too tired that he was like this today.

She was a criminal now, and everything was not settled before the truth was revealed. How could he lose his mind for the love of his children?

"Take good care of her." He walked out in large strides, summoning a servant girl to his side. For the time being, he would let her have a good rest.

Everything would be decided after she woke up.

The head of the prison collapsed to the ground. As he thought back to Fu Yuheng's majestic and imposing back, he swallowed a breath of air with great difficulty.

"Men, men!"

"Boss, what's wrong?" When the guard heard the prison guard's voice, he ran over and looked at the prison guard, not knowing what had happened.

"Quick, go tell the empress that the Consort Xian has been carried away by the emperor."

The head of the prison looked anxious. He saw that the guard wasn't in a good state so he went up to slap him. However the head of the prison was in danger and didn't have the strength to hit him.

The prison warden did not understand, but he still anxiously ran out, and brought up the details of Xiao Shushen.

When Xiao Shushen heard the news from her subordinates, her heart was already in her throat.

"What did you say?" With a look of disbelief, he asked again, unwilling to believe this fact.

"Replying to the Empress, the people below sent word that the Emperor went to the prison to see Consort Xian, and that the Emperor had personally carried him out."

"Esteemed Empress, esteemed Empress …" Gui mama supported Xiao Shushen who was about to kneel on the ground, worriedly looking at her current expression.

"Momo, he … he actually carried her out himself. I've been married to the emperor for so many years, but he's never hugged me before. Even when we got along, he wasn't willing to donate and give me a smile." Xiao Shushen hugged Gui mama and buried his head in her embrace, his voice was deep with a tinge of despair, but he was not hysterical.

"Empress, no matter what, you are the emperor's wife. You are the only one who can bury the emperor with him after he dies." Gui mama looked at her lovingly, carefully helping her onto the bed as she consoled her.

Xiao Shushen did not care about her, she was just lost in her own thoughts, her face full of tears.

"Esteemed wangfei, don't be like this. There's still plenty of time left. You're the empress after all, so even if we can't take her down this time, there'll still be a next time." Gui mama's eyes moistened as he looked at the dispirited and disappointed Xiao Shushen.

Heh, Shen Qingwan is a good person. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have underestimated her. Xiao Shushen sighed softly and closed his eyes.

In truth, she just loved him too much. However, Gui mama had already said this earlier, "Don't be anxious, after all, the crime of killing a princess is still on her head."
