Finally, the emperor's coughing and panting gradually calmed down. Little An Zi hastily went to pick up the handkerchief that he had just coughed up. However, when the handkerchief fell into his hands, his eyes widened as he simultaneously cried out, "Blood!"
Ruo Ruo looked over. There was indeed a lot of blood stains on the handkerchief. At that moment, the entire handkerchief was quickly turning red.
"Your Majesty is vomiting …"
"Shut up." The emperor roared, stopping Little An from continuing. "Don't say it. Quickly, quickly …" He pointed at the bowl and dagger on the table. "Quick."
His eyes seemed to be anticipating something. Did he really want to know the answer?
Little An picked up his bowl and dagger, walking towards Ruo Ruo. "Miss, please. Just a moment. It won't hurt much."
She smiled. She knew it wouldn't hurt, so no matter how painful it was, it couldn't hurt her heart. She had endured the pain, but it was different now.
"Ruo Ruo, be obedient. Hurry up." At the same time, his body was already back on the bed, only his face was still looking in her direction, praying, "Ruo Ruo, Zhen wants to know the answer so Zhen can die and rest in peace."
Alright, then let her die in peace. She slowly stretched out her hand and closed her eyes.
Soon, he felt pain coming from his wrist, and then the feeling of blood flowing out.
One drop, two drops.
The small bowl had already taken her blood. Ruo Ruo closed her eyes, and her tears flowed like a spring. She no longer had the joy she had had when she first met the Emperor. She would rather she had never entered this palace.
There was a rustling in the room. It must be An Zi taking the Emperor's blood.
First his own blood, then the Emperor's blood.
Ruo Ruo's eyes were still tightly shut. She didn't want to see it. She didn't want to see the Emperor's expression when he didn't trust her mother. That 'mother' was actually a form of blasphemy.
Suddenly, with a bang, when the small bowl that had taken her blood fell to the ground and shattered, the Emperor's long howl that raised his head to the sky resounded in the air. "Haha, no, no, no, that's not …" "Haha …"
Just as Ruo Ruo opened her eyes in surprise, the emperor's body softened. When he stopped speaking, he slowly raised his head to look in her direction and extended a hand to her. "Ruo Ruo …"
It seemed like he wanted to hold her hand, but he no longer had the courage.
The small bowl that fell to the ground was splashed with blood, but there was no answer. The bowl that fell to the ground was filled with blood, but the blood did not have any answer.
This time, the Emperor was really gone.
The two times she saw the emperor, the first time she lost consciousness, she lost it, but when she looked at the emperor in front of her, she was stunned. The two times she saw the emperor, she lost it, but when she looked at the emperor in front of her, she was stunned, and she still had many questions.
But at this moment, Little An was already in chaos. The emperor was gone, just what kind of big matter was this?
Just as Ruo Ruo was still looking at the dead Emperor with doubt, Lil 'An flew over and opened the door to the inner chamber. He shouted anxiously towards the outside, "The Emperor is gone."
"Father …"
"Father …"
The mournful cries rang out one after another. Such a scene truly made one's heart tremble.
Soon after, the sounds of chaotic footsteps could be heard. As if someone was pulling Zhiruo out of the emperor's bedroom, the palace immediately became chaotic.
When she stepped over the threshold, her shoulder bumped into someone. When she inadvertently turned her head to look, it was Xi Men Rui Xue. "Ruo, go to the Jing Yang Palace and wait for me."
At this time, he did not panic at all, as if he had already known that the emperor would disappear. Ruo Ruo nodded, held onto the servant's hand, and walked out of the room, while Cui Er rushed over. She looked at Cui Er and Xiu Wan Ru, her heart in a mess. That was Xi Men Rui Xue's palace room in the palace. It was not wrong for her to go there.
After getting on the palanquin and heading to the Jingyang Palace, the palace was already in a state of chaos. Everything that had a bright color to it was taken away, and the things that were put on it were all light colors.
When they arrived at the Jing Yang Palace, they were able to travel unhindered. It was likely that Xi Men Rui Xue had already given them instructions.
Ruo Ruo quietly sat in the side hall, her mind still thinking about everything that had just happened. Those scenes were so clear, like 'Imperial Consort', just how did she die. She turned her head to look at her mother and Cui'er, and said with a deep voice, "Tell me, how did Consort Ruyi go there?"
"This …" Cui'er looked hesitantly at Xiu Wanru.
Xiu Wanru twisted the handkerchief in her hand and paused for a moment before she asked, "Ruo Ruo, did the emperor ask you anything when you saw the emperor?"
She slowly looked into the distance. If she knew, she wouldn't have asked Xiu Wanru about it at this moment. It was because everything was so chaotic that she couldn't make sense out of it. That was why she wanted to ask Xiu Wanru and Cui Er.
"Mother, the Emperor only said that I look like a person, and then …" No matter what, the Emperor didn't exist, and her heart wasn't well. Tears fell from her eyes as she spoke, but she didn't know if it was for the Emperor or her deceased mother's sake that she kissed Ru Fei.
"Ruo Ruo, the emperor is saying that you're like an esteemed imperial concubine, right?"
Ruo Ruo nodded. "The emperor showed me a portrait of esteemed imperial concubine. Niang, tell me, how did concubine die?"
Xiu Wanru glanced at Cui'er as if she was considering whether to say it or not.
"Cui Er, mother and I have some things to say, you go out first."
"Miss, the Crown Prince has instructed me that Cui Er can't leave the lady's side."
Gritting her lips, Cui Er was actually not from Ximen Ruixue at all. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mother, go ahead." Even if her mother hadn't said it, Cui'er still knew. In the end, she was the only one who knew.
"Ruo Ruo, if concubine was sentenced to death."
"Death?" Ruoruo stood up from her seat. "Why did you kill her?"
"If an imperial concubine was caught in bed, the emperor would have immediately sentenced her to death, but she was already pregnant, so the law of Yi Xi Jin was sent to the Tzu En Temple outside the capital to be sent away, only to die after giving birth to a dragon."
"Is that child really me?" Ruo Ruo asked with a sour feeling in her heart. It turned out that her mother was the one who had sinned and given birth to her.
Mother only heard that Ruo Ruo died on the spot when the concubine was about to give birth to a monster, and she buried it at the foot of the mountain behind the Tzu En Temple. Later on, mother picked you up and didn't think of anything else, and didn't expect you to be Ruo Ruo's child, and Mother only saw you being so cute and cute, and left you by her side. Only last fall hunt, when the emperor found you, he took you to the palace.
Listen, how is this chaos? Remembering the girl in the painting, if you really don't believe that Rufei is a shameless woman, if not, then you will really be the emperor's daughter.
Heavens, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She nervously looked at the door. If she didn't find someone to tell her about these thoughts of hers, she would go crazy.
"Cui Er, where is Su Ming? Go and ask around. " He didn't know how he had gotten through these past few days. He just wanted to meet him, and to tell him the truth.
"Miss, Lin is in the palace."
She then stood up and said, "Bring her to see me."
"This …" Cui'er hesitated.
"What's wrong? "Can't you?"
Cui'er did not say anything, which meant that she was unwilling.
She gloomily continued to sit down. After a long time, she didn't even have time to eat lunch. She continued to carry the dishes however she wanted. She had no appetite and her heart was in a mess.
Finally, it was night time and the entire Jingyang Palace was silent. Xiu Wanru had already left, and it was the Qin Manor that came to pick her up.
"Miss, take a bite, otherwise, your body will be even weaker."
Ruo Ruo shook her head and waved her hand, "Go on, I have no appetite." She was going crazy when she thought of the possibility that Xi Men Rui Xue was her big brother.
"Miss …" Cui'er wanted to advise again.
Ruo Ruo became anxious, she pushed her hand, and immediately swept the two dishes on the table to the ground, two crisp sounds made people panic outside, but immediately after, the room became quiet, and even Cui Er did not clean up the broken plates and bowls.
In front of her, there was a shadow blocking the candlelight. Ruo Ruo subconsciously looked up and saw Xi Men Rui Xue waving to Cui Er and the servant guarding her palace to withdraw.
He opened his mouth and wanted to ask a lot of questions, but he didn't know what to say.
The room was still quiet. It was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop. With a pile of wolves in front of them, Xi Men Rui Xue sighed lightly. She asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
"Ximen Ruixue, you knew it was going to happen, didn't you?" Looking up at him, she became even angrier.
"What did you know?" he asked. He put his hand on her and sat down, then sat down opposite her.
"You already knew that I was Ruyi's daughter, right?" There was no way that Xi Men Rui Xue didn't know about the ruckus in the hunting grounds. If he didn't know, then it would mean that Xi Men Rui Xue was not the current Crown Prince.
However, just as her hand was about to land on his face, her wrist suddenly tightened. Then, she was gripped tightly by him, causing her to frown. "Let go of me."
"Not letting go." Not only did he not let her go, he even hugged her tightly, "What are you suspecting? Do you suspect that you and I are siblings? " Ye Zichen asked with a smile. He didn't look worried at all.
