Chu Changying said, "Pei Jiusheng is dying now. If I can save him, Ling Shumo will definitely be grateful to me. Tongzi, you are so powerful, there must be a way to save Pei Jiusheng, right?"
The system said, "There are indeed many life-saving drugs in the system mall, but Pei Jiusheng is already halfway through his life. To save him, we must use drugs that can bring him back to life. Your current balance is zero, and you can't buy the drug that can bring you back to life without a five-digit price tag. Forget this idea."
The system sensed Chu Changying's reluctance and bluntly stated, "If you want to purchase the resurrection potion, you must upgrade to SVIP. Paying a thousand gold coins per month is secondary to becoming an SVIP. One of the prerequisites is that you must remain with Ling Shumo for three full years. So, forget it, host."
Chu Changying looked a little anxious. "What about the medicine that prolongs life? It should be cheaper, right?"
The system lazily replied, "One pill costs one hundred gold coins. Each pill can extend your life by one day. A person can only take thirty-six pills at most. Any more and your body will develop a resistance, making the consumption useless."
Chu Changying's originally divergent pupils suddenly focused. He took a quick look at his clothes and found that there was nothing wrong with them, so he walked towards the second gate as fast as he could.
When they reached the Chuihua Gate, the steward stopped Chu Changying and said, "My dear servant, please go back. No one is allowed to go out without the consent of Her Royal Highness or Lord Shen Liang."
Chu Changying was in a hurry to see Ling Shumo. He was anxious and angry and wanted to push the manager away.
But the manager blocked the door and refused to let him through.
After the former Princess Pei Jiusheng was deposed, the power of the household finances in his hands was vacant. According to the status, the person who was temporarily in charge of the household finances should have been Shangguan Xu, who was the Princess's concubine. However, Shangguan Xu did not care about mundane affairs and was not willing to do such a laborious job.
Going down the list, the four princes were originally headed by the wise Lu Jinshu, but the emperor disliked Lu Jinshu, so the power of stewardship could only be chosen between Shen Hean and Si Jiang.
The Queen's original favorite was Si Jiangzhi, but half a day ago, news came from the northern border that Shen Hean's sister Shen Ci had repelled the enemy for three thousand miles, and now, the head of the enemy general has been presented to the Emperor.
The emperor's decree to confer the title of General Zhenguo on Chen Ci has now been drafted. Once the war on the border is completely settled, the emperor will hold a grand celebration banquet for Chen Ci in Changle Palace.
Chen Hean's status has risen along with his sister's achievements. He is bound to become a second-rank princess. If he can manage the inner house of the Eastern Palace well during the three to five months when Ling Shumo is away from the Eastern Palace, he may even be canonized as the new princess.
Chu Changying was so angry that her liver ached. "I came to see Her Royal Highness for an urgent matter. By the time I had consulted Lord Chen Liang at Yaofang Palace, Her Royal Highness's carriage had already left the capital."
The steward was impartial and said, "I am also following the rules and regulations. Please don't make things difficult for me, my dear master."
Chu Changying's breathing became heavier due to anger. He stood there for a moment, then kicked the steward in the stomach. The steward was kicked to the ground, and the other servants were also dumbfounded.
Chu Changying lifted her skirt and rushed out of the Chuihua Gate before anyone could react.
The other side.
Pei Jiusheng's eyes were closed tightly, his face was paler than the snow in winter, his breathing was weak, and it seemed that he would die in the next breath.
Ling Shumo grabbed the collar of the accompanying imperial physician and practically shouted, "Didn't your Imperial Hospital staff say he could live for three months? Why did he faint now?"
The imperial physician was terrified, but he didn't dare to say anything nice to deceive Ling Shumo. "What I'm saying is that Master Pei can only live for three months at most."
Ling Shumo only felt a strong sense of fatigue coming over her heart, and she loosened her hand that was holding the imperial physician's collar.
Even if she cut the imperial physician into pieces, Pei Jiusheng would not wake up. This only showed her rage and incompetence.
Ling Shumo ordered everyone to leave. She held Pei Jiusheng's hand tightly, tears flashing in her eyes again, "Pei Jiusheng, why are you so stupid? How could I put myself in danger? I don't need you to drain my heart blood to detoxify me."
When Pei Jiusheng was awake, Ling Shumo didn't dare tell her that she had taken the toxin-blocking drug. If she did, Pei Jiusheng would know that he had lost his life in vain.
Ling Shumo heard her own voice trembling, "I've already prepared for your death, but maybe not now. I thought you could stay with me for at least another ten days. If anyone can save your life now, I will worship him as an ancestor. Even if... it's just for another day or two. Pei Jiusheng, I can't bear to see you go."
Pei Jiusheng's eyelashes trembled, and he felt as if his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. He had used up all his strength, but still couldn't open his eyes.
It turns out that even if he didn't gouge out his own flesh and blood, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess could still survive.
Come to think of it, how could such a powerful person as Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess fall into the situation where a weak man like him has to worry about her?
He is indeed quite stupid, but no matter how many times he has to do it again, when facing the critical moment of Her Royal Highness's life, he will still choose to draw blood to cure Her Royal Highness's illness.
He couldn't predict the future, so he had to sacrifice himself. He could die miserably, but Her Highness must not be harmed in the slightest.
Pei Jiusheng's limbs began to hurt again. He was in so much pain that he wanted to roll over and struggle on the bed, but the reality was that he couldn't even move the joint of his little finger.
But Pei Jiusheng soon had no energy to pay attention to the pain in his body. He felt that his nasal cavity was completely blocked. He opened his mouth to breathe, but his throat was strangled by a pair of invisible hands. A strong feeling of suffocation came over him, and Pei Jiusheng felt as if his lungs were about to explode.
Death was more painful than he had imagined.
Warm tears slid down from the corners of Pei Jiusheng's eyes. Ling Shumo heard Pei Jiusheng murmur, "Your Highness, it hurts, it really hurts..."
Ling Shumo knelt in front of Pei Jiusheng's bed, her palm gently caressed Pei Jiusheng's cheek, and the words she spoke were choked with sobs, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here with you, I'm here with you..."
Ling Shumo's mind was completely confused, and she just mechanically repeated the same words.
turn out to be……
The separation between life and death is so suffocating and painful.
