When Ke'er woke up, it was already the night of the third day. She was groggy. She didn't know how long she had been in coma. She only remembered that someone said that Brother Luca was dead? But this seemed to be a dream.
He let out a low cry, and the maid who was watching the night immediately reported it to the emperor...
"Ke'er, you're awake." It can be seen that the emperor's life has not been very good these three days.
"Wu Huan, have I slept for a long time?" Ke'er's tone was calm, which made the emperor even more worried.
"Well, it's been three days." Wu Huan said softly.
Ke'er forced a smile: "I slept for so long that I dreamed that he was dead. How is that possible?"
The emperor's heart tightened, he held Ke'er's hand and said softly: "Ke'er, he is dead, you didn't dream."
Ke'er's body stiffened, then he stared straight at the emperor and said, "You lied, I don't believe it."
The emperor turned around and said to the young eunuch: "Bring the man up."
When Li Ge appeared in front of Ke'er, Ke'er was full of surprise: "Li Ge? Why are you... back?"
Li Ge cried and fell to her knees: "Princess, I'm sorry for you. I didn't take good care of the emperor. The emperor..."
"Don't say it, Li Ge, don't say it." Ke'er covered her mouth and tried her best not to cry.
The emperor withdrew at the right time, giving Ke'er and Li Ge a space to talk alone.
"Princess, the emperor...is no longer here. Please express my condolences, princess." Li Ge said with difficulty.
"Li Ge, have you been bribed by Mo Yu Wuhuan to deceive me and make me give up?" Ke'er asked painfully.
Li Ge couldn't suppress herself and finally cried loudly: "Princess, please wake up, please stop being like this, okay? I'm worried that with your current condition, the emperor is really gone."
Ke'er reluctantly walked off the bed, and Li Ge immediately stepped forward to help: "Princess, you are weak, you need to rest."
"Leave me alone, I don't believe it, I'm going to find Brother Lujia." Ke'er said willfully.
"Princess, please don't be like this, okay? I don't think the emperor would want to see you like this even if he is still alive." Li Ge hugged Ke'er tightly.
Ke'er looked out the window dully, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, but she clearly saw Brother Lujia smiling at her and saying to her softly, "Ke'er, come here, come here."
"Isn't there the blood of a thousand-year turtle? Why is it still like this? I don't believe it." Ke'er firmly believed that the blood of a thousand-year turtle could bring Ryukia back to life. He had always held great hope in his heart, so he simply couldn't accept the fact that Ryukia was dead.
Li Ge wiped her tears and said slowly: "It turns out that after taking the thousand-year turtle blood, the emperor had already woken up, and then he insisted on seeing the princess. We made up lies to deceive her, but she just didn't believe it. In the end, he finally knew the truth.
After that... he vomited blood and passed away."
"He...did he leave anything for me?" Ke'er looked at Li Ge blankly.
Li Ge nodded with tears in his eyes: "The emperor said that our strange journey is prosperous, and it does not cost the city or the country, but it gives everything I have."
After hearing this, Ke'er burst into tears... An extremely sad wailing came from the palace at midnight...
In the early morning, the emperor had been watching for several nights, but Ke'er still showed no sign of waking up.
"How are you, imperial doctor?" the emperor asked anxiously.
"Back to the Emperor, your Majesty is very weak. In addition, she suffered a severe blow and her heart vessels were blocked. She is now very weak." The imperial doctor replied carefully.
"What does it mean to be very weak? Let me tell you, even if you die, you have to save me, otherwise, you will all be buried with him." The emperor suddenly became furious, scaring all the imperial doctors to the point where they knelt down.
"Yes, I will do my best, veteran." The imperial doctor was so frightened that he shivered.
The emperor said angrily: "Don't try your best, be sure. I want you to promise to save her."
"Yes, I guarantee it." All the doctors replied in unison.
However, after a long time of resuscitation, there was no effect. Finally, an old doctor said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty has no sense of survival. I really have no other choice. Why not call the Southern Xinjiang witch to try."
Turning around and thinking about it, he felt that what the imperial doctor said made sense, so he summoned the Southern Xinjiang witch again. Mo Yu Wuhuan also knew that every time the witch saved someone, she had to pay a price.
The witch shook her head frequently after seeing Ke'er's condition, and the emperor felt nervous: "How is it? Is there any hope?"
The witch raised her head and said, "It's possible to save it. I wonder if the emperor is willing to take hold of it?"
"Of course I want to save you," the emperor said firmly.
The witch looked at the emperor, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do you want to save him no matter what the cost?"
"certainly."
"Then, please be mentally prepared, Your Majesty. The price this time is twenty years of your life." The witch said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the emperor suddenly took a breath. For an emperor, life span is undoubtedly the most important thing. To conquer the country, you have to use your life to enjoy it.
The emperor turned his head and looked at the dying Ke'er on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Help."
The Southern Xinjiang witch immediately expressed her approval. She had followed Mo Yu Wuhuan for many years and had been helping him solve problems. She knew very well how much he loved this woman.
I am also moved by this emotion. Not to mention anything else, didn't Qin Shihuang search for elixirs everywhere in order to seek longevity? Now this emperor is willing to lose twenty years of his life for the sake of his beloved woman. What kind of mind is needed?
"Your Majesty, have you thought about it? In fact, your life span is not long to begin with. If your life span is shortened by twenty years, then...?" Before the witch could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mo Yu Wuhuan.
"Save him, I will save her at any cost." Mo Yu Wuhuan's tone left no room for doubt.
The witch nodded: "I understand."
Southern Xinjiang witchcraft lasted a whole night. During this period, the emperor's dragon blood, dragon beards, and other useful things were all available. After finishing the last spell, the witch let out a sigh of relief: "That's it."
"When will she wake up?" the emperor asked with concern.
"No later than tomorrow morning." The witch replied calmly.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." This was the first time Mo Yu Wuhuan said polite words to the southern Xinjiang witch.
The witch was stunned for a moment and then knelt down: "Please ask the emperor to send me back to southern Xinjiang."
The emperor knew that she had been away from home for many years, so he nodded: "When Ke'er wakes up, you can leave."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." After so many years, the witch is tired, and she also wants to live a normal life.
This time was perhaps the most tiring spell she had ever performed in her life. This spell was called the Forbidden Curse of Changing Flowers and Trees. It means using one person's longevity to extend the life of another, but the other may not live twenty years.
However, the witch did not tell the emperor that not only would the emperor lose twenty years of his life for this ritual, but the person who performed it would also lose twenty years of his life. This is a heaven-defying spell, and it is one of the forbidden spells in witchcraft.
.
However, it only serves the purpose of bringing people back to life. No one can say how long the rescued people will live.
However, miraculously, Ke'er woke up the next morning and seemed to be in much better spirits. The witch from southern Xinjiang was also given a large amount of gold and silver jewelry for her role in saving Ke'er, and she returned home in rich clothes.
Yulu Yaochi
Concubine Yu's status rose sharply because she gave birth to a little prince. Concubine Qiu had the same status as her before, but Concubine Qiu gave birth to a little princess, and the little princess relied on Empress Ling's phoenix blood to save her life, which resulted in Empress Ling's belly.
The child died, so Concubine Qiu has been out of favor for a long time.
Although the emperor did not have too much affection for this little prince, after all, he was Nan Yu's eldest son, the only male at present, and Nan Yu's future heir.
Therefore, in the palace, Concubine Yu seemed to be the future queen, and she was in charge of the trivial affairs of the Sixth Palace. On this day, Concubine Yu was holding the little prince Tianjie for a walk, and suddenly the shadow concubine came to visit.
"Concubine, please give my regards to the empress." Concubine Ying was promoted by Concubine Yu, so she had special respect for Concubine Yu.
"Get up." Concubine Yu said with a smile.
"Thank you, empress." The shadow concubine said in a low voice.
"What's the matter? You're looking sad?" Concubine Yu saw Zui Ying frowning, with a slightly sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty has not been to my place for a long time." Ying Bin said truthfully.
"Well, this is normal. There are so many concubines in the harem, and some concubines have not been able to see the emperor for several years." Concubine Yu said casually, teasing the little prince from time to time.
"My Lady, you should know that I heard that the Emperor recently brought back a mysterious woman and placed her in the Xiluan Palace." There was obvious jealousy in Ying Bin's voice.
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "What's the matter? Isn't it a normal thing for the emperor to have a new love? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Concubine Ying said anxiously: "But, my concubine, you should know that Xiluan Palace is a place where no one is allowed to set foot under the Emperor's order. It is the palace of Empress Ling."
"So what?" Concubine Yu was obviously unhappy when she heard the word Queen Ling.
"This shows that this woman's identity is suspicious. I think your Majesty still wants to win over the ministers and urge the Emperor to establish a queen in advance. Now that the little prince has been born, if you, Your Majesty, ascend the throne of the Queen, then everything will be fine." Ying Bin said flatteringly.
.
Although what the concubine Ying said was honorable, what she said was not unreasonable. On that day, Shen Yuyao contacted her confidants in the court and recommended herself as the empress' memorial.
The result was unexpected. That night, Emperor Long Yan was furious, cursed all the ministers, and even issued an edict: "Nan Yu has only one queen, and that is Queen Ling."
After the imperial edict was issued, Shen Yuyao was like a blow to the head, and her confidant Lu Zhi comforted her: "My queen, please be at ease. Now your rights and status are the same as those of the queen, so why care about a false name."
Shen Yuyao said with tears: "I just want to ask, who in the world doesn't want to be a noble woman, but me? What the hell? Queen Ling has been dead for several years, and I am still a concubine, not even the imperial concubine. Now
After giving birth to a prince, I thought I would be able to securely take the position of queen, but little did I know that the emperor would rather let a dead man occupy the position of queen than let me do it. Why on earth is that?"
Luzhi thought for a while and said: "Perhaps the emperor cares about the relationship with Empress Ling as a couple in order to show it to the people and win the reputation of a sage. I see, my queen, since you have given birth to a prince, you will definitely get a reward.
, it’s not bad to sit under one person, the imperial concubine who is above ten thousand people, at least she can suppress Shangguan Qiushui."
"The Imperial Concubine, maybe." Shen Yuyao said confused.
However, an imperial edict issued a few days later once again shattered Shen Yuyao's dream of becoming an imperial concubine. According to God's destiny, the emperor decreed that Ling Ke'er, a girl from Nanyu, was outstanding in beauty and talent. She was deeply loved by me, and she was to be named an imperial concubine and given a hundred thousand silver.
Two, fifty thousand taels of gold, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and a residence in Xiluan Hall.
As soon as this imperial edict came out, the whole world was in an uproar. What kind of woman could be so favored? Overnight, she transformed from a commoner's daughter to a first-class imperial concubine, second only to Empress Ling.
When Shen Yuyao heard the news, she smashed the white jade hairpin on her head and said, "Your Majesty, I, Shen Yuyao, treat you well, why do I treat our mother and son like this?"
The little prince in the nanny's arms was so frightened that he cried loudly. Shen Yuyao flashed a cold light: "Go down and ask me to meet this imperial concubine."
