It was just as Morong Gan had expected. On the night of his birthday, someone told him and the empress that they would meet at the fake mountain, but at that time, it was too dark for Hou Tian to see the Palace Maid and the eunuch that had sent the message. Furthermore, both of them had been careless, so how could they have thought that someone would dare to scheme against the empress and the Prince Chu?
It was not difficult to solve this matter, after all, capturing Prince Yu and forcing him to confess was not difficult at all.
The thing that worried Morong Gan the most was the empress's body. During their intermittent conversations, she coughed a few times, and the bright red blood that stained the white handkerchief was extremely shocking.
He was silent for a while, "Royal Sister-in-law has suffered a lot."
The empress was a strong person, but her eyes were red because of her words. "It can't be considered as being wronged. I didn't have enough bones to drag him down."
"Leave this matter to younger brother. It is more important for Royal Sister-in-law to recuperate peacefully. Once he recovers, brother will assure you that everything will be the same as before."
The Queen laughed bitterly. Since there was no one else here, she was not afraid of revealing her secret to the Prince Chu.
"I know my own body. The time limit should be reached after dragging it out for so long. I'm afraid that I won't make it through this year …"
Morong Gan was shocked in his heart, "Royal Sister-in-law, please don't say it like that. If the Grand Hospital can't see through your illness, I will slaughter them all!"
"Third brother, don't be in such a hurry. Let me finish." If Courtier says so, he will feel that it's good. But if he says that, he will also feel that it's good, and when I'm here, he can still make decisions for me, but if I leave, cough cough, who can wholeheartedly help him? "
"Royal Sister-in-law …"
"Only you, your surname is Mo, and you two are siblings. You have to take care of the Rivers and Mountains Society for him, his father and daughter are ambitious people, and you absolutely cannot let them gain control of the country. The emperor's heart is heavy, and he has a personality that can endure for a long time, so if he gets angry at you, don't take it to heart, although he is older than you, his heart is actually weaker than yours, you have to take more responsibility."
Morong Gan extremely disliked the tone the Empress used to talk to him, which gave him an indescribable anxiety and depression. "Royal Sister-in-law, don't think about this.
The empress closed her eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them again. "He needs someone to help him lead the way, otherwise, he will reach the fork in the road. Third brother, promise Royal Sister-in-law that you will be the one to lead the way."
Morong Gan agreed, but he didn't expect that in the near future, he would be unable to keep his promise.
's mood was a little heavy after he exited the Phoenix Cry Palace. He held his hands behind his back and walked along the road, the trees by the side of the road had almost all fallen leaves, and only one or two of them were still swaying in the wind. When a gust of wind blew over, he was still unable to endure it.
Morong Gan looked at the fallen leaf and let out a heavy sigh. Life is so fragile, shouldn't you value it even more? Royal Brother was wrong this time!
When he looked up, the emperor was already standing beside the tree, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. "Have you gone to see your Royal Sister-in-law?"
"Yes," He cupped his hands in greeting, with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face, "Chendi heard that it has been a few days since I last visited Royal Sister-in-law. Royal Sister-in-law is so sick, aren't you careful?"
The Emperor laughed bitterly. "She is too unwilling to see me."
"If the Royal Brother hasn't gone yet, how would I know that the Royal Sister-in-law isn't willing to see him," Morong Gan said as he became angry, "Perhaps the Royal Brother's heart has already ran to someone else!"
"How dare you!" The Emperor's face sank. "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
Morong Gan was aware of his slip of tongue, he bowed and said, "Junior has offended the heavens, I hope Royal Brother can punish me."
The emperor was silent for a moment. "You said the empress is very ill?"
"Yes, Royal Brother, I think it would be better for you to go see Royal Sister-in-law. If you go, Royal Sister-in-law will be happy and your illness will be better."
The emperor looked at the direction of the Phoenix Cry Palace and waved his hand, "If there's nothing else, you may go."
Morong Gan saluted and turned to leave. When he arrived at the corner, he turned his head and looked back, only to see the emperor holding his hands behind his back as he leisurely walked towards the Phoenix Cry Palace. He heaved a sigh of relief.
The empress was resting on the bed with her eyes closed, when she heard the imperial edict being passed on to her. "The emperor has arrived. The emperor has arrived …"
"Esteemed Empress, the Emperor has arrived."
The empress struggled to get down from the couch, but the emperor was already at the door. "Don't move. Just lie still."
A concerned voice brought the empress back to her old self. She forced herself to pull herself together and smiled. "Why is the emperor here today?"
"I heard that you are getting impatient, come take a look." The Emperor arrived before the bed and bent down to carefully examine her. He suddenly grinned and sat down on a nearby chair. "It looks like you have cried, but what sorrows are there in your heart?"
"Nothing. As long as Your Majesty is well and healthy, chenqie will have no regrets."
The Emperor laughed, "You should tell the Prince Chu about your sorrows, and not me?"
The empress felt warmth in her heart, but it instantly turned cold. "Does the emperor not believe in chenqie, or does he not believe in Prince Chu?"
"I was just casually saying it and you got angry." The Emperor saw that she was so angry that his face turned paler and paler. In his heart, he felt a little guilty, but he still held on with his mouth.
The empress coughed lightly. "The emperor may not trust chenqie, but you have to trust Prince Chu. He's your brother and the most loyal of people to you. The emperor mustn't misunderstand Prince Chu just because he listens to this vile person's slanderous words …"
It's here, it's here again. The Emperor let out a heavy sigh in her heart. Was she afraid that he would do something to the Prince Chu? These words made her ears twitch with impatience. "Empress, you don't have to worry about that. I know what I'm doing."
The Empress looked at him silently. They were so close, yet so far apart. In just a few days, it was like they were separated by mountains and rivers.
"Your majesty understands, chenqie is very pleased," the empress coughed and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hands. "There's one more thing Your consort wants to tell Your Majesty."
"Go ahead."
"Your concubine's health is not good and can't service Your Majesty. With Noble Consort waiting on you, your concubine will feel deeply comforted. However, your majesty has to worry about her body as well. I'm afraid she'll have to eat …"
"You!" The emperor stood up abruptly. "Does my bed queen want to know too?" "You weren't like this before, how come you're now a jealous woman?"
The empress looked at him in astonishment. Could she have turned into a jealous woman with just a few words of loyalty?
The emperor grew angry from embarrassment and left. The empress sat in a daze for a while before sighing sorrowfully. It was too far away after all. He wouldn't listen to a single word she said now.
