Chapter 81 Vomiting Blood and Fainting
The emperor's angry voice resounded throughout the hall. Eunuch Deng heard the shouting and entered with his guards and maids.
"emperor..."
"Go, drag that adulterous couple out for me." The emperor's eyes were fixed on the bed curtains.
"Ah..." As the guards and maids suddenly lifted the bed curtains, Concubine Wan screamed in fright.
The man turned over and protected Concubine Wan, pulling the quilt at the end of the bed to cover her.
The guard casually threw the inner garment onto the couch, the man quickly put it on, and then helped Concubine Wan put it on.
After they put on their clothes, they knelt before the emperor with their heads bowed.
The emperor's eyes turned red with anger: "What an adulterous couple, acting like this in front of me."
"Lin Wei, you are really capable. I value you, but you slept with my woman."
The emperor raised his foot and kicked Lin Wei: "I will kill you, kill you all."
"Come here, come here, drag them out and beat them to death with sticks. Beat them to death."
The emperor was so angry that he lost his mind and wanted to execute these two people.
Lin Wei knelt and moved forward a few steps: "Your Majesty, if you want to kill someone, just kill me. I forced her."
Seeing that Lin Wei was determined to die for her, Concubine Wan cried out, "Brother Wei, please don't do that. It was me who seduced him. Your Majesty, please execute me."
Concubine Wan didn't want her beloved man to die for her and leave her alone.
"Wan'er..."
The emperor shouted, "That's enough. You are pretending to be a man and a concubine in front of me. I will grant your wish."
"In the underworld, you can be together forever."
“Hahaha…” Concubine Wan burst into laughter.
She glared at the emperor: "Well, even in hell, we will be together."
"If my parents hadn't forced me, how could I have entered the palace? Brother Wei and I had already secretly decided to spend our lives together. It was you who ruined our relationship."
Lin Wei said anxiously: "Wan'er, stop talking, I'm begging for mercy, you have to live well."
Concubine Wan cried and said, "Brother Wei, I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. I live in fear every day and can't be with you openly. I would rather die than die with you."
After hearing what Concubine Wan said, although Lin Wei felt sad and painful, he still didn't want to refute her.
He hugged Concubine Wan and coaxed her: "Okay, Brother Wei will accompany you. If we die, we will die together."
"Since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish."
The emperor said to Eunuch Deng, "Give them a cup of poisoned wine and send them on their way."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Deng hurriedly asked people to prepare quickly.
The guard came back with the poisoned wine and handed a glass to Lin Wei and Concubine Wan respectively.
The two men held the poisoned wine and laughed. They looked at each other, their eyes full of love and reluctance.
They clinked their glasses together, smiled at each other, and drank it all in one gulp.
As time passed, the two of them hugged each other and slowly slid down.
The emperor felt it was particularly harsh to see them hugging each other tightly until their death.
His eyes were red and he staggered out of the hall, looking as if he had aged several years in an instant.
The emperor really likes Concubine Wan and has kept her in his heart since she entered the palace.
He came to the harem quite a few times every month, but most of the time, he stayed in Concubine Wan's bedroom.
If I didn't really love them, I wouldn't have let them die so easily just now.
If others betrayed him and wanted to die together, he would make both of them live in pain.
And Lin Wei, Lin Wei is the person he trusts the most and the commander of the imperial guards.
Betrayed by his favorite woman and the person he trusted the most, the emperor was almost on the verge of collapse.
The emperor walked out of the palace and looked at the distant horizon. Thinking of Concubine Wan's smile before her death, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The drizzle returned, the breeze faded away, but the lights in the study of the Prince Regent's Palace remained on.
Xie Lingxiao got angry when he looked at Ling Feng who was sitting opposite him.
Ling Feng had been sitting in the room with him waiting for news, which prevented him from leaving the house.
He glanced at Ling Feng: "When will your news come?"
"Master, it should be soon. I'll go take a look."
He had just walked out of the room, and before Xie Lingxiao had time to stand up, Ling Feng turned back.
"Master, news has arrived." He hurriedly opened the message, wanting to see the content clearly.
"Pfft, Master..." Ling Feng quickly scanned the content and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xie Lingxiao gave him a fierce look: "Hurry up and tell me, and get out of here."
"Did Concubine Wan and Lin Wei really have a secret meeting tonight?"
"Master, how did you know?" Ling Feng was suspicious. He hadn't even read it yet.
"How about I send you back to the palace for retraining?" Xie Lingxiao said through gritted teeth.
"I think they had a secret meeting in Concubine Wan's bedroom. The emperor didn't go at first, so Lin Wei climbed into the bedroom through the window. Later, the emperor went again."
Ling Feng smiled at Xie Lingxiao and said, "Master, Master, did you send someone to find a way to get the emperor to go again?"
Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows: "Are you a pig-brained person? Didn't I ask you to pass on the message?"
Why didn't he realize before that Ling Feng was so stupid?
Ling Feng touched his head: "I didn't see it."
"Go on and tell me the result directly." Xie Lingxiao raised his foot and kicked Ling Feng.
"Pfft..." Ling Feng just took a look and then started laughing again.
"..."
Xie Lingxiao glared at Ling Feng. He asked him to read the message like this. He really doubted why he was so blind to choose him in the first place.
Xie Lingxiao asked: "Lingfeng, how much is your monthly salary?"
"Master, my monthly salary is 10 taels, and you just raised it last month."
Xie Lingxiao looked at him with a smile: "Well, if you don't finish reading the message, you won't have to collect your monthly salary this month."
When Ling Feng heard that Yue Yin was gone, he was furious: "Master, Master, the Emperor was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted."
He may not care about anything else except his monthly salary, which is his lifeblood.
"Get out! I'll deduct all your monthly salary. Get out now." He then raised his foot and kicked Ling Feng in the butt.
Ling Feng rubbed his butt with one hand and looked at Xie Lingxiao with a wronged look on his face.
Seeing that his master ignored him, he rubbed his body and slowly walked away, looking back every few steps.
The dark clouds had not yet dispersed, and the waning moon was blocking her view. Shen Jingxuan was physically and mentally exhausted after traveling all the way.
After returning to the city, she had to go to the government office and kneel down, which really made her very exhausted.
After finally returning home, she met Xie Zihan again, which made her feel sick.
She even wondered if she should check the almanac before returning to the city today.
Shen Jingxuan asked Chuntao to prepare water for her. After bathing, she lazily lay down on the couch.
At the end of the day, if she hadn't had some skills to hold on, an ordinary person would have fainted from exhaustion.
"Dang dang dang" there was a knock on the window. Shen Jingxuan got up, put on her coat, and sat on the couch without moving.
Noticing someone outside the window, she slowly came to the window and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Xie Lingxiao's voice rang out.
Shen Jingxuan opened the window and looked at the people outside.
"Is there something? Come in and talk." She came to the chair and sat down.
Seeing that she seemed to have just finished taking a shower, Xie Lingxiao closed the window and came to her side.
"Why don't you dry your hair after taking a shower?" Seeing Shen Jingxuan looking at him without saying anything.
Xie Lingxiao walked around the room, found a clean towel, and wiped Shen Jingxuan's hair.
After her hair was dried, Shen Jingxuan sat there without saying a word. Xie Lingxiao didn't know what she was thinking.
He talked a little, swallowed the question he wanted to ask, and changed the topic to another one.
Xie Lingxiao said: "I would like to ask you for a favor, I wonder if you can do me a favor."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "What kind of help? Tell me first."
She didn't understand what had happened that made Xie Lingxiao unable to speak.
He stared at Shen Jingxuan: "You are the last disciple of the Medical Saint. I wonder if you can come to the palace to see the Queen Mother?"
Shen Jingxuan stood up suddenly: "Are you investigating me?"
She stared at Xie Lingxiao without blinking, as if she wanted to confirm her thoughts.
