Chapter 144 The Tribulation of Life and Death
Ruping almost cried for joy.
At this time, a palace servant brought Shen Bihe over and made her kneel in front of Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu looked at Shen Bihe with the eyes of a dead person.
Shen Bihe finally couldn't bear such a look anymore. She simply looked up at Emperor Shenwu and said, "Yes! It was my concubine who did it! Your Majesty, do you know why?"
"I don't want to know..."
Shen Bihe suddenly yelled, "No! Your Majesty, I just want you to know! Every time I and Concubine Yi have an accident, Your Majesty always blames me, even though it's clearly not my fault! My nickname is also Ruoruo, but Your Majesty doesn't allow me to call her by that name anymore in order to avoid Concubine Yi! Your Majesty, I am the one who is pregnant with your child, why don't you have any pity for me, but you are so kind to Concubine Yi! I also love you... why is Your Majesty so indifferent to me!"
Emperor Shenwu glanced at Li Xiang lightly, and Li Xiang quickly made a gesture, and two eunuchs were about to step forward to restrain Shen Bihe.
Shen Bihe saw that the situation was not good and stood up suddenly. She quickly pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed at the eunuchs and palace servants who were approaching her: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
The Emperor Shenwu only watched all this with indifference. Lan Qingwu trembled slightly, and the Emperor Shenwu lowered his head quickly: "What's wrong? Are you cold?"
Shen Bihe looked at the gentle gaze that never belonged to her, and her expression gradually became sad: "Your Majesty, do you know when we first met? Your Majesty, do you know that Bihe has admired you for a long time? I went through all kinds of trouble to enter the palace just to see Your Majesty again!"
The fire was still blazing, reflecting Shen Bihe's crazy and desperate expression.
"If I had known this earlier, why would I have entered this deep palace! Your Majesty! You still don't know my name! I am so ridiculous and pathetic! You regard Bihe's sincerity as nothing. I curse you! I curse you to never find love! I curse that everything you get is false!"
Amidst Shen Bihe's cries of despair, she raised the hairpin in her hand and stabbed her throat with it resolutely.
Emperor Shenwu took a few steps back, blocking Lan Qingwu's sight.
Concubine Jiang watched the Emperor's actions with resigned patience. Concubine Chen's eyes had darkened immensely since the Emperor had arrived at the prayer platform and called out "Ruo Ruo." As she had expected, Lan Qingwu, the daughter of a prominent military family, was someone Your Majesty had known since his youth, during his training in the frontier army.
Shen Bihe died in despair. Lan Qingwu heard the screams of people around her and her face turned paler and paler. She leaned on the shoulder of Emperor Shenwu and felt her spirit weakening little by little, as if the world was spinning.
Lan Qingwu said softly: "Your Majesty, I feel dizzy..."
Emperor Shenwu watched Lan Qingwu's face turn pale, as if his soul had been taken away from him. He was immediately anxious: "Li Xiang, quickly! Summon the imperial physician to Qianzheng Palace!"
The Shenwu Emperor strode away, holding Lan Qingwu in his arms. Behind him was a blazing fire and the three concubines staring at his back, hesitant to speak.
Li Xiang ordered his young apprentice to summon the imperial physician, and summoned Prince Ding, Qian Hui and Wei Yanting into the palace. He had just wiped the sweat from his forehead when he saw the three concubines still standing there.
Li Xiang paused for a moment, then hurried forward and bowed. "My three ladies, once this matter is concluded, please return to your palaces. Your Majesty will be well taken care of by your servants."
Concubine Jiang said, "I think Concubine Yi is not feeling well. I need to go to Qianzheng Palace to check on her before I can feel at ease."
Concubine Wan also felt upset and continued, "That's right, Concubine Yi is also a concubine of the Sixth Palace. I, your sisters, manage the Sixth Palace and should care about you."
Li Xiang couldn't stop the three concubines, and a group of people came to Qianzheng Hall again in a mighty manner.
The Qianzheng Palace was now surrounded by the Xuanyu Guards, and the three concubines were stopped outside the gate by the Xuanyu Guards commander: "Your Majesty has an order! The three concubines are ordered to return to the palace. The concubines in the six palaces are not allowed to leave the palace at will!"
Li Xiang quietly raised his eyes to look at the three concubines who were stopped at the gate. "Jincai, quickly report to the Empress Dowager and let her rest assured! Has the imperial physician arrived? Jinfu, quickly go and greet him... Madams, I will go and serve His Majesty first! Allow me to take my leave!"
Li Xiang quickly slipped into the Qianzheng Hall. At the door of the Qianzheng Hall, Concubine Chen curled her lips slightly and said, "Let's go! Sister Jiang Fei, Sister Wan Fei, we can't enter this gate today."
Concubine Jiang had a grim expression on her face and left with a flick of her sleeves. Concubine Wan snorted coldly and followed suit. Concubine Chen looked back at the gate of Qianzheng Hall and her face darkened when she thought of the name on the seal in the painting.
In the bedroom of the main hall of Qianzheng Palace, Lan Qingwu was gently placed on the bed by Emperor Shenwu. He stayed by the bed and looked at Lan Qingwu's pale face. He felt uneasy. "Ruoruo, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"
Lan Qingwu's voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Weiwei is fine, just a little dizzy..."
Li Xiang hurried in from the outer hall: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Nie have arrived."
"Hurry up!"
Zhao Wubing and Nie Wushuang each examined Lan Qingwu's pulse. They exchanged glances, and Zhao Wubing stepped forward. "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi was frightened to such an extent that she is uneasy. I will administer some tranquilizers, and she will gradually recover..."
Lan Qingwu on the bed seemed to have a premonition of something, and she suddenly said: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Shenwu lowered his head quickly: "Ruo Ruo, what's wrong?"
Lan Qingwu looked carefully at the sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes of Emperor Shenwu. She used her eyes to depict the facial features of the person in front of her over and over again. Her strength was slowly draining away. She raised her hand with all her strength and stroked Emperor Shenwu's cheek lingeringly.
Emperor Shenwu seemed to sense something. He covered Lan Qingwu's hand on his cheek and said, "Ruoruo, it's okay! I will be with you!"
Lan Qingwu smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, I made another wish today."
"What did you wish for?"
"All I wish is for you to be safe!" After saying these words, Lan Qingwu slowly closed her eyes. Her hand slid down from Emperor Shenwu's cheek, and she fell into a coma.
Emperor Shenwu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses the next moment: "Imperial Physician! Quick! Come quickly!"
Nie Wushuang hurried forward, but as soon as he grabbed Lan Qingwu's wrist, he froze.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Emperor Shenwu urged, "How is it? Nie Wushuang!"
Nie Wushuang turned around with difficulty and looked at Zhao Wubing: "Master, the Queen's pulse is weak, almost non-existent... Wushuang has never seen such a symptom, how fast it came on, and how strange it is - Your Majesty."
Nie Wushuang looked at the unpleasant expression on Emperor Shenwu's face and said, "Your Majesty, please invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital. Perhaps..."
Zhao Wubing's heart sank, and he stepped forward to take the pulse again. As soon as he started, his heart sank again, "How could this be?" When there was no pulse at all, that was when the woman disappeared!
Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu lying unconscious on the bed, and suddenly his mind raced. That fateful calamity, Lan Qingwu's life and death! Emperor Shenwu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cellar!
In the Guoan Temple, Master Zhiyan discussed Buddhist scriptures with his junior fellow apprentice in silence for half a day during the day. After the evening class, he went up to the Samsara Tower alone. The Samsara Tower is 749 stories high. From the top of the tower, one can overlook the entire imperial city.
A moment later, Master Zhiyan stumbled down from the top of the tower, looking panic-stricken and at a loss.
Master Kunku, who was chanting scriptures in his meditation room, suddenly opened his eyes. He quickly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the starry sky, and looked at the Ziwei star in the sky.
Ziwei Star, the master of all stars, the emperor's star, the most noble. But at this moment, the star that should be brightest is flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim!
And an inconspicuous star next to Ziwei Star was rapidly dimming, and in a moment, only a little starlight was left!
Master Suffering whispered, "Oh no!" The thing he least wanted happened.
