Chapter 120: No Forgiveness
Chu Wanqing nodded and leaned on her shoulder: "Sister, I'm so uncomfortable, my whole body hurts."
"You bear with me, and it won't hurt anymore soon." Chu Wanxiang comforted her, "I'll find you a doctor, and you can drink some more medicine."
After Chu Wanxiang withdrew, she went to the side hall to ask for a doctor.
After the imperial doctor checked Chu Wanqing's pulse, he frowned and said, "Niangniang, there is nothing you can do. The princess is suffering from a fever caused by an old disease, and the minister prescribes some anti-inflammatory and dampness-dispelling medicines, and the mother can feed her one pill a day."
"And how long will she last?"
"Three or five days."
Chu Wanxiang was worried, waited for the medicine to be decocted, and fed Chu Wanqing with her own hands. She vaguely guessed in her heart that maybe Chu Wanqing had not recovered.
The queen's child can't be saved, will the emperor blame?
Chu Wanqing's condition worsened, and she had a fever all night.
She coughed repeatedly, and Chu Wanxiang stayed by the bedside, not leaving an inch. The Queen Mother learned that she was sick and hurried to see her.
The Queen Mother sat on the edge of the bed and touched Chu Wanqing's forehead, and said worriedly: "Wanqing, the mourning family knows that you feel uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this, you must cheer up. You're going to get better."
Chu Wanxiang knelt down and said, "What the Queen Mother taught her is that it was the concubine who didn't take good care of Sister Wanqing. Please punish the Queen Mother."
Chu Mohan also said, "Erchen is willing to receive punishment on behalf of his sister."
The Queen Mother took their hands and sighed, "Okay, what does this matter have to do with you. The emperor is the grandson of the mourning family, and his safety is naturally the responsibility of the mourning family."
After that, he looked at Jiang Qiyun: "Qiyun, you are the emperor's concubine, and you should take care of the emperor. If there is a need, you can do it, and you don't have to worry about the emperor's face."
Chu Mochen was slightly stunned.
Jiang Qiyun lowered her eyes and said, "Obey the will of the Queen Mother." She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Wanxiang.
The Queen Mother said, "The queen stays and serves the queen, Qiyun, you go to the emperor's side with the mourning family."
Jiang Qiyun said goodbye: "The concubine sends the queen mother."
When the Queen Mother walked away, she turned her head and her eyes fell on Chu Mochen's face: "The concubine retired."
"You go slowly, the Queen Mother has an order, I want to stay and take care of my sister."
Jiang Qiyun smiled and walked out.
When Chu Wanxiang saw her leaving, she hurriedly leaned into Chu Mochen's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter, you have to be extra careful."
Chu Mochen was silent.
The assassination of the emperor involved a wide range of cases, and Chu Mochen had to find out the reason. Therefore, he stayed in the palace to monitor Chu Wanqing's every move.
Chu Wanqing's body was weak, but her spirit was extremely excited.
Chu Wanxiang accompanied her and observed secretly. On this day, Chu Wanqing was walking in the courtyard and met Jiang Qiyun head-on. Chu Wanqing chuckled in her heart, and said with a happy face, "Sister Qiyun, why are you here?"
Jiang Qiyun replied with a smile: "The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace, and I happened to meet the princess at the door, so I came in to see the princess."
She looked at Chu Wanxiang with gentle eyes: "My sister looks in good spirits today."
Chu Wanqing smiled: "Thanks to my sister, I'm much better."
Jiang Qiyun said a few words of concern again, and then changed the topic and said, "The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace, do you want to summon the emperor?"
Chu Wanqing nodded.
Chu Mohan immediately put down the fold in his hand and hurriedly went to Cining Palace.
Chu Wanqing looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and the corners of her lips curled with sarcasm. Chu Mohan, you are mine after all, even if you die, your soul is destined to belong to me.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Chu Wanxiang saw her in a daze and asked with concern.
Chu Wanqing retracted her thoughts and barely squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine."
Chu Wanxiang said, "I'll help you into the house to rest."
Chu Wanqing nodded. She was supported by the guards and staggered all the way back to the dormitory.
Chu Mohan went to the Queen Mother, and Jiang Qiyun waited in Fengyi Palace. She sat on the soft couch, her elbows against her knees, her fingertips kneading her temples, her beautiful eyebrows frowning slightly, revealing a faint tiredness. She was in this position for two years,
Although the emperor has always doted on her, he has not been able to let her relax.
The palace maid served tea and snacks, and she picked up the pastries at random and tasted them.
Seeing this, the palace maid persuaded: "Girl, this pastry is not easy to digest after eating, so you better not eat it."
"Hmm." Jiang Qiyun put down the plate and ordered, "You all stand down. I'll rest for a while."
The palace maid saluted and quietly retreated.
Jiang Qiyun stood up and walked behind the screen and changed into the clothes of the palace maid. She put on the veil, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
The moon was hiding behind dark clouds, and the sky was gray and looked like it was going to rain.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in. She folded her sleeves uncomfortably, walked to the windowsill and sat down, looking up at the moon thoughtfully.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Jiang Qiyun turned his head and saw a familiar purple dragon robe. A mocking smile crossed her lips as she stood up and walked to the inner room.
Chu Mohan lifted the curtain and came in, and saw Jiang Qiyun lying on the bed asleep, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his face was quiet.
He reached out and brushed a strand of green silk from her cheek and leaned down to kiss her pink lips.
He picked her up and walked inside, walked to the bed with ease, and laid her on the bed.
"Hmm!" She muttered and slowly opened her eyes.
He stared at her, his eyes deep and mesmerized.
"Awake?" He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked in a low voice.
"Why is Your Majesty here?"
"The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace." He explained.
"Oh." She replied lightly, "Since we're here, let's talk for a while."
Chu Mohan sat on the edge of the bed.
She leaned on the pillow and looked up at him, "Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind, can you tell the concubine?"
Chu Mochen hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Chu Wanqing nodded: "Okay."
The two fell silent for a moment, and neither spoke again. Chu Mochen closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his eyes became cold and gloomy, "I don't want to see this happen again, understand?"
Chu Wanqing pursed her lips and was silent for a moment before she gently spit out a sentence: "The concubine understands.".
Chu Mohan frowned: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you are not happy?"
She smiled, "Of course I do, this is what the Queen dreams of. The concubine thanked Your Majesty for her sister, and Your Majesty is truly a kind and generous king."
She had a light smile on her face, but her eyes were not bright, Chu Mohan looked at that ordinary and ordinary face, and there was a feeling of boredom in her heart.
"The queen is good for herself." He dropped the warning and walked away.
Chu Wanxiang stopped him worriedly: "Your Majesty......
Chu Mohan stopped.
"Your Majesty, are you angry?"
Chu Mochen glanced at her: "I'm not angry." After a pause, he said in an accentuated tone, "Queen, you are so self-conscious, if you dare to use any small means, I will never forgive."
Chu Wanxiang's heart sank.
