Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Miscarriage (next chapter runs away)…
Suddenly, he threw the fake death drug to the ground, stepped on it, and stomped on the ground, making a loud thumping sound.
Every time the ground made a sound, Lingchuan would move his upper body backward, not daring to breathe, let alone look up at him.
He had his back to her, his eyes sunken in his sockets, and without any unnecessary movements, he just clenched his fists. She lowered her head and only saw the bulging veins on the back of his hands, then abruptly looked away.
Gu Shi turned his head and looked at her, then immediately turned his head away as if he had seen something filthy. He felt that her figure was more dazzling than the midday sun.
He stretched out his legs and walked forward.
The first few steps were very slow, as if his legs weighed a thousand pounds, but he soon quickened his pace and left without saying a word.
Lingchuan huddled in the chair, shivering as he listened to his footsteps. The pace became faster and faster, the sound became lower and lower, and finally gradually disappeared.
After confirming that the footsteps had completely disappeared, Lingchuan groped in the dark, trembling, and walked out slowly. She felt her legs go weak and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She had never felt so fragile in her life.
She wasn't trembling with fear because she suddenly realized she had committed a grave offense against the majesty of heaven. Rather, she was trembling with a complex and strange feeling of guilt and shame.
This is not a commoner's fear of power, but a wife's guilt towards her husband.
The corridor was so dark that she could hardly see her hand in front of her face. She could only feel the wall and, with the help of a faint firelight, slowly move out step by step.
As she walked, she began to suspect that she was going in circles. She couldn't help but question when she would be able to see the light of day again, and whether she could really get out.
How long will it take to walk this road before she can get out... She doesn't know how long she will have to walk.
The pitch-black environment made her feel a physiological fear. She felt that she was alone in a dangerous environment and anxiously reached out to touch the hairpin on her head.
She touched her chest. For some reason, she wanted to find Gu Shi and tell him everything. She didn't want to torture him, but she wanted to sit down and have a good talk with him.
She wanted to tell him that she still loved him, this time sincerely, and she also wanted to tell him that she wanted to give birth to the child safely, just because he liked it.
Maybe she felt sorry for him. She shouldn't have tortured him on purpose and made him suffer so much...
Lingchuan wiped away the tears that were flowing down his face.
Bang--
She was already covered in cold sweat, her clothes soaked with sweat. Suddenly, she bumped into something, fell straight back, and collapsed on the ground.
"Gu Shi...I'm sorry..."
Lingchuan said in a low voice.
She didn't see the man's face, nor did she hear his voice.
But just by the feel of bumping into him, she could tell it was Gu Shi.
She was already very familiar with him.
Suddenly, she felt a heavy body pressing on her. Before she could react to what was happening, a sharp contraction of pain came from her lower abdomen.
She felt her limbs were sore and she had no strength left. She could only sob softly.
After a while, a barely perceptible smell of blood filled the air.
"Come with me."
He found Lingchuan lying on the ground, refusing to stand up and not saying a word. He could only suppress his anger and hold her in his arms.
After walking out, Gu Shi felt that his knees were a little sticky and wet. He lowered his head and found that the hem of his white clothes had been soaked with blood. His knees suddenly went weak.
The smell of blood seemed to become a hundred times stronger in an instant, and he felt like he had fallen into the blood cave on the eighteenth level of hell.
Gu Shi’s eyes went blank, he felt dizzy, and his stomach churned.
He used his last bit of willpower to place Lingchuan on the couch beside him and fell straight down.
The last thing he saw before he passed out was the fishy black mass of flesh on her skirt.
Lingchuan caught a glimpse of him falling straight to the ground. Her face was as white as paper. She used her last bit of strength to put the hemostatic medicine she carried with her into her mouth, and then she fainted due to excessive bleeding.
When she woke up, a palace maid was standing by her bed, sobbing.
She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Is Gu Shi dead?"
She remembered that she had seen Gu Shi thud and faint, and seeing the palace maid crying like this, she asked casually.
"No."
The palace maid was frightened out of her wits.
"Then why are you crying?"
Lingchuan frowned.
“It’s you…it’s you…”
She hesitated and didn't dare to speak, and knelt on the ground in fear.
She shouldn't have cried. Such a big thing happened, and she let Lingchuan see her crying. What if it affected her health?
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was my crying that disturbed you."
She was so frightened that she kowtowed repeatedly. Lingchuan waved his hands impatiently and said weakly:
"Get out."
After a while, the female doctor walked in with a pale face.
"Your Majesty... please... take good care of yourself and don't be too sad..."
She chose her words carefully.
"How is Gu Shi? Is he still alive?"
"Your Majesty was overwhelmed and fainted suddenly. He is awake now."
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty's pregnancy was full of misfortunes. It's truly remarkable that she's been able to keep this child alive until now. Please don't be too sad."
"oh."
Lingchuan just responded without any special reaction.
She just felt relieved now.
All the right and wrong have nothing to do with her anymore.
But Gu Shi had to compensate her exactly for the blood she shed.
"Now that he's awake, why doesn't he come to see me?"
Lingchuan didn't look into her eyes, but just lay on the bed and said lightly:
"Tell him to come and see me."
The female doctor nodded, bowed, and got up and left.
Another palace maid brought a bowl of brown sugar water, and Lingchuan drank it all. She then asked the palace maid to bring her some food to replenish her strength.
But after a moment, Gu Shi really came.
He changed into blue clothes, his face was pale, his eyes were evasive, and he was half-kneeling in front of her bed.
Seeing that Gu Shi really came, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. She thought he would not come.
After all, what Gu Shi did most often was to escape, just like a silkworm, wrapping himself in a cocoon, or like a frightened rabbit, hiding himself in a cave.
She felt resentful at the thought that she would die with him.
No matter how deeply they loved each other, sooner or later they would have nothing to talk about.
So let's just get this over with... while we have the chance.
Lingchuan knew that he wouldn't catch up.
Just like when she was grounded by him before and vomited and felt uncomfortable, he refused to come and look at her, just kept avoiding her.
This time he would just run away.
"Gu Shi, I want to break up with you. Don't worry about where I go. Just tell others that I became a monk because I was too sad."
When she said this, she felt like she had unloaded an extremely heavy burden.
"Um."
Gu Shi just nodded.
"Come closer."
Lingchuan waved his hand impatiently, and Gu Shi really leaned his head over.
Then, blood gushed out of his neck.
The silver hairpin knife pierced straight through Gu Shi's collarbone. A sharp pain came from his neck, and his entire upper body began to tremble and twitch.
"You must pay me back the blood you owe me."
She spoke weakly, but her hand stabbed the silver hairpin knife deeper without mercy.
He covered his neck with his hands, and blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.
Waves of pain came from the wound, and Gu Shi inexplicably felt a mixture of regret and pleasure in his heart. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Lingchuan should treat him like this, penetrate him, and dominate him.
Lingchuan held onto the bed, tightened his collar, and slowly walked down.
"I'm leaving today and will stay at your palace for a few days. Once I recover, don't worry about where I go."
She looked back at him. Gu Shi was half-kneeling on the ground, leaning his arms weakly on the edge of the bed. His neck was covered in blood, his eyes were wet, and his skin was pale, almost like porcelain, but his lips were slightly red, adding a bit of color.
He was biting his lower lip gently, his whole body trembling weakly, savoring the pain, his hair half loose, his black hair draped over his chest.
"Now we're even."
Lingchuan said this expressionlessly.
"No, you can't leave! I've called the guards."
The palace maid cried out that something was wrong and quickly glanced behind the screen. She was instantly horrified and tried her best to stop Lingchuan.
"let her go."
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Gu Shi's mouth, as if he was tasting some honey.
"I...I'll go call the imperial physician..."
The palace maid's face turned pale. She lifted her skirt and hurried out.
A guard came in, drew his sword, and wanted to kill Lingchuan on the spot. She was so scared that she dodged backwards, and the sword cut off half of her hair.
"Commit suicide!"
Gu Shi ordered.
The guard was stunned and stopped what he was doing, staring blankly at Gu Shi, who was covered in blood, with his hair disheveled and half-kneeling on the ground.
"Didn't you hear me? I told you to kill yourself."
He frowned.
The guard had no choice but to pick up the sword tremblingly and put it across his neck. Lingchuan was so scared that he took a few steps back.
"Not really..."
She frowned, almost pale with fear.
"Gu Shi, please quickly retract your decision. He doesn't deserve this."
"no."
He frowned and leaned on the edge of the bed.
Lingchuan turned to look at the guard and said:
"Run quickly, I'll help you with the burden..."
"Suicide."
Gu Shi repeated the order again.
Lingchuan looked back at him and screamed:
"Are you crazy? This is horrible! This is... this has no reason at all..."
The guard was shaking constantly, holding the sword across his neck, staring at Lingchuan with an expression that was a mixture of hatred, fear, and awe.
He first pierced his skin, blood flowed out, and Lingchuan began to scream uncontrollably.
"Go out and kill yourself, or you'll scare her."
Gu Shi said indifferently.
