"But I feel so happy to have His Highness by my side. I know His Highness is safe and sound. No matter how much suffering I endure, it is all worth it."
Beigong Tengxiao's eyes were slightly red, and he said sadly: "You little fool..."
"Your Highness, I really, really... love you so much..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep.
Beigong Tengxiao bowed his head and kissed her forehead gently, his eyes full of love.
Fingers intertwined, the two fell asleep embracing each other.
The next day, morning.
Chu Jiaoli slowly opened her eyes and saw Beigong Tengxiao, who had woken up and was looking at her for a long time, and said, "Has it been a long time since His Highness went to court?"
Beigong Tengxiao raised his hand to smooth her hair at the temples and said, "I've been taking care of you, so how can I have time to go to court?"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli frowned and said, "No, you have to go. What if the emperor blames you and the courtiers protest?"
Beigong Tengxiao pursed her lips lightly and said, "I don't want to leave you."
Chu Jiaoli sighed lightly, then turned her back to him and said, "If you don't go to court, I will never care about you again."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao immediately became panicked and said: "Okay, okay, I will go to court right now, Li'er, don't be angry."
Hearing his compromise, Chu Jiaoli breathed a sigh of relief.
After a moment, she watched Beigong Tengxiao leave, and then slowly stood up.
The light of the morning sun is a little dazzling, but it also brings the vitality of spring, and everything seems to be getting better.
Yuzhu carefully supported her and said, "Mother, please slow down."
Chu Jiaoli lowered her head, raised her hand to touch her flat belly, and sighed sadly.
She failed to protect this child in her last life, but lost it again in this life. She felt unspeakable pain in her heart.
When the accident happened, all she could think about was her children. Thinking about it carefully, there was something fishy about the matter.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and frowned attentively. She had a hunch that this was not an accident. In a daze, it seemed as if someone had tripped her ankle.
When I rolled down, I felt a burst of pain in my ankle, and then there was the pain of being wrapped and pulled.
What is that... silk thread?
Did... someone tamper with her ankle?
She recalled the scene that day in detail, and found that someone had indeed touched her ankle. It was Xiang Yiyi's cousin. Seeing her young appearance, she let down her guard.
She was suddenly startled, it must be Xiang Yini, who wanted to kill her!
She immediately opened her eyes wide and was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy and had a pain as painful as a thousand ants.
She felt a sweet and fishy sensation in her throat, then she spurted out a mouthful of blood, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Empress!" Yuzhu exclaimed, supporting Chu Jiaoli who fell to the ground.
Several maids came forward to look, frowned and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Yuzhu raised her hand tremblingly and put it under her nose. She was suddenly startled and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
In a moment, Beigong Tengxiao went down to his hometown.
Walking into the Biluo Hall, opening the bead curtain, I saw Chu Jiaoli lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The maid cried and knelt on the floor.
Beigong Tengxiao frowned, sat on the edge of the bed, and said: "My queen has fainted again? Where is the doctor Wang?"
Turning his head, he saw the trembling Doctor Wang kneeling on the ground.
Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and scolded sternly: "If you don't diagnose and treat properly, what are you doing on your knees? Get over here!"
Doctor Wang said in a trembling voice: "Go back to your Highness, your Majesty... Your Majesty, she..."
Beigong Tengxiao had a bad premonition. He grabbed the doctor Wang's collar, stared at his evasive eyes, and said in a low voice: "Tell me clearly, what's wrong with the empress?"
"Empress, she is... gone..."
Beigong Tengxiao pushed him away and roared: "You quack, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will take your head off!"
Doctor Wang stumbled. He knelt down, kowtowed to Beigong Tengxiao and said, "I don't dare to talk nonsense, Your Highness! Your Majesty really doesn't have any sign of pulse..."
Beigong Tengxiao looked at Chu Jiaoli, his pale face no longer angry as before.
"Wen Ruyu...Where is Wen Ruyu?!" Beigong Tengxiao was furious and said, "Bring Wen Ruyu to me quickly!"
"Your Highness, no one has seen Dr. Wen today, and the emperor is also looking for him..." Dr. Wang replied.
Beigong Tengxiao gritted his teeth, could there be something wrong with Wen Ruyu's elixir?
He raised Chu Jiaoli's stiff and cold hand, kept warming it in his palm, and said in a panic: "Li'er... Li'er is just asleep, you are talking nonsense, it must be nonsense..."
Hearing the sobbing around him, he felt upset and roared: "Stop crying! Get out of here!"
"Yes..." Everyone stood up and retreated.
The room was surprisingly quiet, a bit eerie.
Beigong Tengxiao put her hand on his cheek and said: "Li'er, I listened to your words and went to court. Don't be angry. Please deal with me, okay? As long as it's what you said, I will
I will do as I am told. Please open your eyes and see if I am okay..."
The temperature in Chu Jiaoli's body was slowly passing away. Seeing that Chu Jiaoli didn't move at all, his heart suddenly twitched, his lips trembled slightly, and he said: "I know that Li'er is the most gentle and considerate. You can't bear to leave me."
My heart aches... But now, my heart hurts so much. I really hope... I really hope you can wake up, even if you just move..."
There was a line of tears in the corner of his eyes, he bent his head and leaned on the back of her hand, sobbing fragilely: "Li'er, wake up, I still have many things to say to you, and many things to do with you.
How could you let go and ignore it like this..."
Yinyi Palace.
"Empress." Huan Pei stepped into the door, closed it, walked quickly to Xiang Yini's side, and whispered in her ear, "Chu Jiaoli is dead."
Hearing this, Xiang Yini slightly raised the corners of her lips and said softly: "That's great, it's really an eye-opener." While she was excited, she slightly raised her eyebrows in confusion and said, "Didn't Wen Ruyu save her life?"
Pill? Why is she still dead?"
Huan Pei shook his head and said: "I don't know, I heard that Dr. Wen was missing. Today, the entire imperial capital was almost overturned to search for him. The emperor has issued a nationwide arrest warrant, and it is confirmed that he poisoned the Crown Princess."
facts."
Xiang Yini smiled and said, "How could such a good thing happen?"
"Now the empress has lost a thorn in her side without any effort. This is really a great joy!"
Xiang Yini's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and she said: "That's natural..."
The next day, Chu Jiaoli's funeral was held. Chu Jiaoxing and Chu Jiaotang burst into tears. The Prince's Mansion was covered with white hangings. Beigong Tengxiao had a sullen face and said nothing.
After sending Chu Jiaoli away, he sat on the bed and raised his hand to caress the embroidered pillow where she lay, his eyes looking lonely and dull.
He slowly opened the dagger placed aside, raised his hand and looked at his wrist, and the sharp blade couldn't help but slowly get closer.
