Chapter 69, Are you blaming me?
One spoonful after another.
Under Shen Qingtang's bloodshot gaze, the woman scooped up a spoonful of thick white tonic soup and handed it to Xiao Tangtang's mouth again and again.
A bowl of soup was quickly finished under Xiao Tangtang's expectation.
"Aunt, let's go find Little Orange together?"
After wiping her mouth, Xiao Tangtang excitedly grabbed the woman's hand with pointed nails and looked out the window eagerly, wanting to go out and find her little friend.
However, under her expectant gaze, the woman slowly put down the empty bowl and took her thin little hand away from her well-maintained hand.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Aunt's eyes became so scary.
Under Xiao Tangtang's confused gaze, the woman's eyes, which had long been filled with poison, looked her down at her.
"Don't worry~ I have something else to ask Tangtang. Tangtang is a good child, so you can't lie~"
"W-what?" Xiao Tangtang was a little confused. She didn't understand why her aunt, who was so kind to her before drinking the soup, suddenly became a little scary to her.
But the more afraid she was, the more excited the woman became.
"Is the soup my aunt made fragrant? Is it delicious?"
...Is it fragrant? Is it delicious?
Shen Qingtang covered her face and cried bitterly. What did she answer at that time?
She said at the time -
It smells good, but Tangtang doesn’t like it.
"It smells good, but Tangtang doesn't like it."
The little girl's crisp voice overlapped with Shen Qingtang's inner thoughts.
It was just a word of "I don't like it", the woman's sharp voice was like countless steel needles piercing my heart.
"Don't like it? You don't like it, but you still drank the whole bowl of soup? Tangtang, you are not a good boy~ If you lie, you can't go to find--"
"I like it!" Tangtang interrupted eagerly, "Tangtang likes it!"
As she spoke, Xiao Tangtang bit her pale lips nervously, feeling the pain in Shen Qingtang's heart.
"Now, can Tangtang go find Xiaoju?" She hadn't seen Xiaoju for a day, and she missed her little friend very much.
But even so, the woman still refused to let Xiao Tangtang go easily. The more Xiao Tangtang wanted to find Xiao Juzi, the more excited she became and she asked again without stopping.
"Do you really like it? Then do you want another bowl?"
Do not--
Xiao Tangtang just silently uttered the word "no", but under the threatening gaze of the woman, he changed "no" to "yes".
"I like it, I really like it!" But she didn't want to drink the soup anymore!
The soup was fragrant, but it made her throat feel a little sore. She seemed to have eaten something foreign...
Just as Xiao Tangtang was trying to remove the foreign object from her throat, a sharp and sarcastic laugh suddenly came out from the woman's open red lips.
"Hahaha, you like it? Hahaha... I like it. That's what I told you, how could you not like it? After all, it's your favorite--"
She paused slightly, and suddenly leaned over and pinched Xiao Tangtang's pale cheek tenderly and artificially. Under Shen Qingtang's gaze, which seemed to want to tear her apart and swallow her, her carefully painted flaming red lips outlined an extremely vicious smile.
"Aren't you going to look for Little Orange? I'll take you to look for him now, okay?"
"No, don't..." Tangtang wanted to find it herself.
An inexplicable panic filled her heart, and Xiao Tangtang struggled to escape from her hands. However, under Shen Qingtang's painful gaze, she violently pulled Xiao Tangtang towards the kitchen.
Shen Qingtang wanted to stop her, but she couldn't.
All he could do was watch the panicked Xiao Tangtang struggling in the woman's hands as she was dragged into the bloody kitchen.
"Look, why not?! I'm here with you to find little oranges, do you think it looks like your little orange?" The woman smiled grimly, "You said it smells good, and you eat it very well. You said you like it, but it's the little orange you've been thinking about all the time, how could you not like it?!" Don't like it!
She doesn't like it!
"Why?! Why?! Give me back my little orange!"
The woman clamped Xiao Tangtang's pointed chin tightly, forcing her to follow the direction indicated by her red nail polish. She could see the bloody orange fur thrown on the ground and the fragrant soup pot on the stove in full view.
"Did you see it? This is the little orange you were looking for. You loved it so much, and now it has become one with you!"
She ate the little orange...
She ate her little friend...
Shen Qingtang covered her face and cried bitterly, and Xiao Tangtang also cried and pushed the woman.
"You are not Tangtang's aunt! Tangtang's aunt would not be so vicious. You vicious woman, Tangtang will tell daddy, Tangtang will kick you out..."
Snapped!
The struggling Xiao Tangtang was slapped and rolled to the ground. In an instant, her white dress was covered with blood. When she raised her hand, she could even pick up the orange cat hair soaked in blood.
"Kick me out? Who do you think you are?! If it weren't for your mother, that bitch, I would be the mistress of Shen's company! But it's not too late now. As long as I get rid of you, this sickly person, I can become the mistress of Shen's company by virtue of my son!"
The woman grabbed Xiao Tangtang's hair. Her hideous and distorted face not only did not scare Xiao Tangtang, but instead stimulated Xiao Tangtang to hug her face. Her thin white teeth bit her face viciously like a hungry wolf.
At the moment she felt pain, Xiao Tangtang bit her face until it was bloody under Shen Qingtang's satisfied gaze.
"You don't deserve it, you vicious woman. Tangtang wanted to avenge Xiaojuzi, but you killed Xiaojuzi and cursed Tangtang's mother. You deserve to die..."
*
Since Shen Qingtang entered the palace, the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau began to frequently go in and out of the harem.
The threshold of the Fanghua Palace, located in the harem, was almost worn away by the feet of the imperial hospital staff.
Shen Qingtang hasn't woken up for four days since she vomited blood and fell into a coma. The medicine she couldn't drink every day had to be fed to her mouthful by mouthful by Emperor Yuji himself.
however--
Emperor Yuji put the still unconscious Shen Qingtang back on the bed. When he carefully tucked the quilt around Shen Qingtang, the chief physician Gao of the Imperial Hospital had already fallen to his knees in agony.
A pair of sharp gazes weighing more than a thousand pounds fell on him, and Doctor Gao was trembling so much that his forehead touched the ground.
"Lady Shu, when will you wake up?"
“Meow~ meow~ meow~”
As soon as Emperor Yu Ji finished speaking, a delicate cat's meow could be heard faintly in Fanghua Palace.
Listening to the cat's meow in his ears, Doctor Gao's heart was already filled with tears.
Although he was not in the harem, he had heard why Concubine Shu vomited blood and fainted. Now, when he heard the pleasant meowing sounds, he felt very wronged in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Lady Shu is still in a coma because she is so depressed..."
Emperor Yuji said sternly: "I just want to know when she will wake up!"
...You are aloof, you are the emperor, you made Concubine Shu so angry that she vomited blood and fainted, but they in the Imperial Hospital are the ones who have their heads hanging on the waistband every day!
Imperial Doctor Gao felt like crying but had no tears.
"Only when the pent-up qi is released can there be a chance of waking up. For now, we can only use medicine to stabilize the heart and protect the vital energy..."
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Emperor Yu Ji shouted angrily, and except for Imperial Physician Gao who got out quickly, Shi Liu and the others did not move at all.
Under several pairs of gazes, Emperor Yu Ji raised his hand and stroked Shen Qingtang's lifeless eyebrows, and his eyelashes slightly lowered, gradually concealing the regret in his eyes.
"…Are you blaming me?"
