Zhang Tan was surrounded, and the commander of the imperial army, Wei Heng, immediately rushed to Yang Shu, cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, just leave the rebels to the immortals. I will escort you throughout this journey!"
Yang Shu nodded, not showing too much enthusiasm, but not showing the arrogance just now. He said warmly: "General Lao Wei."
"I dare not. Your Highness, please!"
After getting rid of Zhang Tan behind them, the guards set off again.
It was only a short road from Prince Yue's Mansion to the palace. Wei Heng personally escorted him, and Ning Xiu and Ming Wei stayed with him, so there were no more accidents.
Wei Heng called for the palace door to be opened and watched Yang Shu step in step by step.
This road has finally come to an end.
When dawn comes, Daqi will have a different future, and the world will have another beginning.
Wei Heng murmured: "General Zong, I finally lived up to your instructions..."
…
The copper kettle passed another moment.
Concubine Pei walked over slowly and said to Wan Dabao who was guarding the bed: "Eunuch Wan, go and rest for a while. I will be here to guard you."
Wan Dabao didn't want to leave, so he begged: "Empress, please let your servants guard your majesty? Maybe in the future..."
There won't be a chance.
Concubine Pei smiled and did not refuse: "It's up to you."
Wan Dabao knew that he was like this and had a bit of an arch, but what could he do?
On the one hand, he was unwilling to die like this, and on the other hand, he felt ashamed of his betrayal.
He once asked in his heart whether the imperial concubine could start well and end well, but in the end, he was the only one who could not have a happy ending.
Concubine Pei sat in front of the hospital bed and helped the emperor wipe away the concoction that overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
The emperor looked at her bitterly, as if he had regained consciousness. He was more awake than he had been in the past few days.
As soon as Concubine Pei moved, a stream of congestion flowed out of his nose, and suddenly his meridians became unblocked, and he was able to speak.
"Go away..." a trembling syllable.
Concubine Pei raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Your Majesty is in great condition! You can speak now."
The emperor wanted to cut her into pieces.
He could speak, but what was the use? The edict was issued, Zhang Tan left, and no one listened to him anymore.
These people around me, including Concubine Pei, Wan Dabao, Zhong Yue, and that Guo Xu, are all traitors and traitors!
He couldn't even spread a word, and the majestic king of a country could only lie down and wait for death, suffering their humiliation.
Concubine Pei turned a blind eye and didn't care how cruel his eyes were. She continued to gently wipe away the bruises as usual.
"How can you tell me to go away?" She whispered softly, "Don't you always think about asking me to accompany you until death?"
A gentle smile appeared on Concubine Pei's face, but her words seemed to be filled with ice: "It's best to stay with her until you go underground, right?"
Under her gaze like this, the emperor actually felt chilled all over.
"you……"
"Your Majesty, you don't want to deny it, do you?" Concubine Pei threw the bloody handkerchief to Wan Dabao, her eyes were cold, "I have been with you for so long, what kind of temperament do you have, do you think I don't know? I am you
It’s not enough to possess the spoils of war alive, I have to accompany you even if you die. So, you have already been prepared. If the situation is in danger, you will ask me to die before you, right?"
The emperor's eyes flashed.
Concubine Pei smiled disdainfully and tossed it away, and a delicate ruby vial rolled onto the bed.
Seeing this thing, the emperor trembled.
This is the medicine he personally gave to Eunuch Liu, and he told him that if it was not good, he would feed the medicine to the imperial concubine.
The royal secret medicine seals the throat at the sight of blood, which is absolutely unreasonable.
"Liu...Xiaoxi..." He squeezed out these words.
Concubine Pei took pity on his difficulty in speaking, and took over the next words: "Yes, Eunuch Liu is my person, from the beginning, so I already knew what you told him."
The emperor shuddered.
When did he confess it? It was when he fell in the palace and became half-paralyzed.
It was already two years ago.
In the past two years, Concubine Pei was as gentle and considerate in front of him as before, without showing any trace of her behavior.
How could she hide this kind of thing in her heart for two years? What kind of perseverance is this?
Concubine Pei turned sideways, her face shrouded in shadow, and she felt an inexplicable dark and terrifying feeling.
"Do you think it's scary? I've been with you for more than twenty years. Do you think I have been tamed by you? Haha..." She raised the corners of her mouth and gave a sarcastic smile.
She is already in her forties, but she is still so beautiful. Although her face has traces of time, it is more intriguing than those young girls.
The emperor always knew that Concubine Pei was a beauty, but he didn't know that she was a poisonous beauty.
What's terrible is that this kind of toxicity adds a fascinating charm to her, making him love and hate her, and he doesn't want to let her go.
As soon as he showed such an expression, Concubine Pei sneered, a little disgusted: "You still think you love me? Stop deceiving yourself. Your Majesty, do you know where you went wrong?"
The emperor did not speak, but his eyes were filled with deeper hatred and twinkling love.
"You always don't want to give, you just want to get." Concubine Pei said calmly, "You have never regarded me as a person, but as a plaything. Any feelings must be exchanged with heart. You have never treated me with heart.
How can you ask me to fall in love with you?"
"..."
Seeing that his resentment remained unchanged, Concubine Pei sighed with more pity: "You know? In fact, I was also weak. That child..."
When she talked about the child, her expression softened for a moment, and the emperor also thought of the past, and the hatred in his eyes dissipated a lot.
"When that child came, I hesitated whether to keep him. The child is innocent. Since he came, maybe there is a parental connection. If you were willing to let my son go at that time, maybe I would keep him.
.At that time, I had no confidence that I could succeed in revenge, and I just wanted to keep him. But you personally cut off this possibility."
Concubine Pei's expression turned indifferent: "You see, you chose the ending today, and no one can blame you."
The emperor's chest rose and fell.
How distressed he felt about that child! He had always wanted a child that belonged to the two of them. He would definitely teach him personally. If it was a prince, he would pass the throne to him. If it was a princess, he would make her the most pampered child in the world.
Princess.
It turns out that she had a miscarriage on purpose?
No, the son of this poisonous woman will never ascend to the throne of God.
He squeezed out a few words: "Zhang Tan... will kill him..."
Concubine Pei smiled nonchalantly: "Up to now, you still put your hope in Zhang Tan. Stop dreaming, my son will definitely succeed."
As if to verify this sentence, a voice came from outside: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue has an audience!"
Concubine Pei's smile deepened: "Look, he is here!"
Under the emperor's hateful gaze, Yang Shu stepped in. (To be continued)
