Chapter 281 Why Save Me
Yufu Palace.
Su Nanqing just felt that she had had a very long dream.
In her dream, she saw her aunt and Bai'er.
They were finally reunited as a family.
Just when she was filled with joy and wanted to walk to her aunt's side, a dazzling light suddenly appeared and she couldn't open her eyes.
The strong light pierced through the dream like a sharp blade.
Su Nanqing suddenly opened her eyes, and the peach-colored curtain came into her sight. The burning pain in her shoulders and throat made her hiss involuntarily.
"My lady! You're awake!" A surprised gasp suddenly rang out.
Su Nanqing's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he stared at Taxue in a daze. He wanted to speak, but found that his throat was burning with pain. He could only utter a few vague and hoarse words with difficulty: "I... am not dead?"
Taxue choked up and replied, "It was Xiao Kangzi and Xiao Zhongzi from Yaoyue Palace who rescued the young lady. The imperial physician just said... if it had been any later, you would..."
Her voice gradually lowered, and she was filled with fear.
Su Nanqing's pupils trembled violently and his chest heaved.
Why save her?
Why didn't she die?
Obviously, she was only one step away from being reunited with her aunt and Bai'er, so why did they pull her back and bring her back to this disgusting palace?
"My lady, the doctor said you inhaled too much smoke. You must take the medicine when you wake up."
Su Nanqing looked at the medicine in Taxue's hand and suddenly thought of Liu Yuetang. He stared at Taxue and asked, "Where is Concubine Xi?"
Taxue didn't dare to look directly into Su Nanqing's eyes and whispered, "Xi...Xi Guifei is gone."
Su Nanqing's mind buzzed and went blank.
My heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.
"Why? Why..." she murmured with red eyes.
Why is Liu Yuetang dead while she is still alive?
She took everyone's life into account, so why was she the only exception?
She smiled sadly, thinking that God really loves to play tricks on people.
At first, she tried her best to survive in the deep palace, but God was not willing to grant her wishes and took away her loved ones one after another.
Now that she has avenged her great hatred, she wishes to die, but God has pulled her back from the brink of death.
Seeing Su Nanqing clutching her chest in pain, Taxue quickly comforted her, "My lady... don't be too sad, your health is more important..."
Su Nanqing bit her lower lip tightly, tears streaming down her face as her body trembled.
"Young Master..."
Su Nanqing raised her hand and knocked the medicine bowl in Taxue's hand to the ground. The dark brown medicine juice splashed everywhere, and her pale and distorted face was reflected on the broken porcelain pieces.
"Why! Do you want to save me?" Su Nanqing said with difficulty, gasping for breath.
Taxue was startled and suddenly understood something, and his eyes widened.
"Young Master, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice called "The Emperor has arrived" was heard, and Taxue quickly turned around and bowed.
When Xiao Heng and the concubines came in, Su Nanqing's face was already extremely pale and she was gasping for breath.
"What's wrong with Concubine Rou?" The queen hurried forward.
Taxue turned around and looked, his face changed drastically: "Not good, the young lady is having a heart palpitation attack."
"Where's the imperial physician? The imperial physician—"
For a moment, the palace servants in Yufu Palace were in chaos.
Su Nanqing clutched the quilt tightly, the scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred, and cold sweat quickly soaked her clothes and back.
After the imperial physician took Su Nanqing's pulse, he quickly fed the first aid pills in the medicine box into her mouth, and then asked Xiao Heng, the queen and the others to move to the main hall so that the breeze could flow freely.
"My lady...you must hold on." Taxue held Su Nanqing's hand tightly and cried uncontrollably.
The imperial physician said that once this heart palpitations occur, they will become more and more serious and life-threatening.
Su Nanqing shook her head hard to show that she was walking on snow. There was nothing for her to be nostalgic about in this world. Living would only increase her pain.
"No... Young Master... If you leave, I won't be able to live. You must hold on."
Seeing that Su Nanqing had less and less desire to live, Taxue came up with a plan in panic.
He quickly stood up and ordered the eunuch, "Go catch two butterflies, and be quick!"
When the eunuch heard the order, he ran out.
Before a cup of tea had passed, the eunuch hurried back with the butterfly.
He walked on the snow, gathered his sleeves, and hurried to the bedroom.
While Su Nanqing wasn't paying attention, he quietly loosened his sleeves, and two butterflies flapped their wings and flew out.
"My dear! Look, a butterfly!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps in the snow, Su Nanqing slowly opened his eyes.
I saw two butterflies dancing in the hall.
Su Nanqing looked at the dancing pink figure, and a faint whisper escaped from her pale lips and throat: "It's a pink butterfly..."
For a moment, she seemed to see the figure of Aunt Lan.
That year, she was ten years old.
Her aunt helped her catch two butterflies and keep them in a cage.
My aunt said that these two butterflies, one is her and the other is myself, and she will always be with me.
"How could you know that the pink butterfly is still flying in the deep autumn? I pity that it is so lost in the beauty of the season, as if it were playing with the spring sunshine."
This is also what my aunt said.
She said that even in adversity, one should not give up the yearning for beauty.
"Yes... my lady. Look, isn't it Aunt Lan and the Fourth Prince who are here to see you?"
He knelt down in the snow and fell to Su Nanqing's side. "My lady, when Aunt Lan was here, she risked her life to protect you. Now you are so determined to die. Are you going to make her cry blood in hatred in her netherworld? Have you ever done her justice?"
Su Nanqing's red eyes were filled with tears as she stared intently at the butterflies flying in the hall.
"My lady, look, Auntie is here. She wants you to live well."
"If you truly feel guilty towards Concubine Lan, then you should live well. One day you can ascend to the position of Concubine, or even the position of Imperial Concubine. You can also give birth to the fifth or sixth prince. Only if you live a better and more glorious life will Concubine Lan's death not be in vain."
Su Nanqing was in a daze, crying. Although she said nothing, there was a little light in her broken eyes.
Yes, God didn't let her die, which proves that she was not destined to die.
Or maybe... it was my aunt who didn't want me to die. Even if she was in heaven, she would still protect me.
Her greatest hope in life was to be well and safe, yet she treated her own life with such disregard."
