At the command, two guards rushed forward and forcibly detained Chu Aotian.
"Let me go!"
"Chu Yeli, you lunatic, you will kill Chu Li! You will kill her!"
Chu Yeli twitched his thin lips and smiled sarcastically.
That day, if he had not accidentally knocked over the teacup, he would have been dead.
How could Chu Li die?
If anyone has to die, he will be the first to die.
Fengyi Palace.
The room was so tightly sealed that even a fly could hardly get in. There were no candles in the room, and it was dark and gloomy. The woman's hoarse cough was almost faint:
"cough……"
It feels so uncomfortable.
Her whole body was burning hot, but a slight breeze from the window helped her regain consciousness.
Is it raining?
How many days has it been?
She doesn't remember.
Day and night, every minute was tortured. She had forgotten the last time she rode a horse freely under the sun. It seemed like a lifetime ago.
My head feels so heavy.
Is she going to die?
She was unwilling to accept it.
Chu Li supported himself against the wall and used all his strength to climb up. His legs went weak and he fell back. After stumbling several times, he finally moved to the door with difficulty.
The palace gates were closed, only a small door was opened, and the eunuchs from the imperial kitchen were arranging food.
The young eunuch saw her and said hurriedly:
"Empress!"
"Empress, it's great to see you. Please think of a solution quickly. The Eighth Prince has been imprisoned!"
Chu Li was shocked, "What did you say..."
She stumbled forward:
"What did you just say!"
The young eunuch looked around at the guards and did not dare to say anything more: "I don't know what happened, I only know that the emperor ordered... Queen, I have delivered the meal and cannot say anything more."
Cover the food box and leave immediately.
"return!"
Chu Li pried open the door, "Come back... cough, cough cough!"
His blood was boiling, his vision was dizzy, and he almost fainted.
Why was Chu Aotian sent to prison?
Could it be that he was implicated by her?
But he is obviously innocent.
Chu Yeli, how far do you want to go before you'll be satisfied?
She knocked on the door with her fists, "Let me out, I want to see the emperor."
Bang!
"Let me out!"
The guard turned around and said, "The emperor is very busy these days and cannot see anyone. If the queen has anything to say, please wait until later."
"I need to see him right now... ahem, call him over and go see him!"
How dare the guards?
Now, the imperial study is like a forbidden area. Whoever gets close to it will be in trouble.
Who dares to go?
All that needs to be said has been said. If the Queen doesn't listen and keeps shouting, you can't blame them for being unreasonable.
Chu Li pounded on the door, "Let me out... cough cough! I don't feel well... go tell him, I feel very uncomfortable..."
My whole body was burning and weak, and my breathing was burning.
"Go... tell him..."
She felt dizzy and leaned against the door. She almost fainted several times, and her hoarse voice became weaker and weaker.
"Chu Yeli...Chu...don't touch my eighth brother...cough cough..."
The guards stood outside with stern faces, turning a deaf ear and not moving an inch.
Without the emperor's order, they would never move an inch.
Chu Li called for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him until his voice became hoarse. Instead, a cold drizzle began to fall, and a chilly wind blew on his body. Feeling cold on the outside but hot on the inside, he felt increasingly dizzy and his mind was blurred.
When he thought of Chu Aotian’s dangerous situation, he didn’t care about himself and held the door with difficulty, hoping to see Chu Yeli.
But, several hours passed.
The thin rain mist wrapped her body in a layer of frost, and she was unable to wait for Chu Yeli.
In the evening.
The eunuch from the imperial kitchen came again, carrying a food box, looking anxious:
"My Queen, something bad has happened!"
Chu Li struggled to open his eyes.
The current situation is bad enough, what could be worse?
"My cousin who works in the Imperial Guards said... Concubine Wen was killed outside the city at noon and is dead!"
"What did you say!"
Chu Li grabbed the door fiercely, his voice breaking, "Nonsense! The emperor sent people to protect Concubine Wen, how could she die!"
The young eunuch said hurriedly:
"This is what my cousin said. I don't know whether it's true or not. If the Queen doesn't believe it, you can ask the Emperor. The Emperor loves you and will not let you worry."
He quickly put it down, put down his dinner, and left.
The light in Chu Li's eyes gradually dimmed.
Died...
My mother passed away...
“No… I won’t…”
My eighth brother was imprisoned and my mother was murdered. How could this happen?
Could it be that...
Was all this done by Chu Yeli?
Just because she poisoned the tea and wanted to kill him, he took revenge on her in this way.
Otherwise, under Chu Yeli's protection, who can touch them?
It must be like this...
It must be...
"Cough cough...Puff!" Under the severe blow, Chu Li staggered a few steps, his chest churned, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her shaky body held onto the door and slid to the ground. The cold night rain wet her skirt and fell on her face, chilling her to the bone.
"Chu Yeli, I claim that I have never done anything wrong to you...why...why do you treat me like this..."
His face was as white as paper, and his breath was weak:
“So cruel… cough cough, you are so cruel…”
-
It rained heavily at night.
The imperial study was dark and silent, with only the thunder and the sound of spring rain falling outside the window.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up the space, flickering and fading. The man curled up on the couch suddenly woke up as if from a nightmare:
"Xiao Jiu!"
He opened his eyes and looked at the dim imperial study. The feeling of loneliness was magnified several times as he stood alone in the empty space.
Between heaven and earth, it seemed as if he had been completely abandoned.
Chu Yeli slowly lowered his eyes, the light in his eyes was dead.
He had a nightmare...
A sleepless night.
Xiaojiu, I accidentally hit you that day, and I felt bad too...
At dawn, a hint of paleness appeared in the sky, and another day passed in a daze.
Outside the door, a rapid sound of footsteps was like thunder:
"Master, something terrible has happened!"
Ah Yu could not wait to report and forced her way in through the door, "Empress Wen is dead!"
Chu Yeli stood up suddenly, his mind went blank, "What did you say!"
"An hour ago, our spies outside the city reported that Concubine Wen had not returned to the bamboo forest courtyard all night. We sent people to look for her, only to find that she had drowned in the stream at the foot of the mountain!"
Chu Yeli's whole body trembled, and he staggered a few steps as if he was struck by lightning, then fell back into the chair.
It's over.
Something happened.
This is a big deal.
How could a person drown in a stream for no reason?
"Check it out! Go check it out! Go!"
His hands and feet were cold, and he was so flustered that he could hardly find his voice. "Also, block the news and don't let it spread to Fengyi Palace."
As soon as the voice fell, Cai Ping rushed in from outside the door:
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
"What's up!"
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The Empress... has passed away!"
