As time passed, some noticed Liu Qingse's unusual behavior, but since she had already married the princess, she had to be considered a man, even if she wasn't. Her political enemies, sensing this, wisely overlooked this possibility and chose to attack him from other angles.
Unfortunately, Liu Qingse was slippery in the officialdom, neither taking sides nor having the princess as his backing. Those who were jealous of him couldn't find any fault with him, and could only let Liu Qingse's status in the emperor's heart rise higher and higher.
Unfortunately, today's morning court session was disrupted.
Liang Jiugong approached Kangxi's side, his eyes filled with anxiety, and whispered, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened to Princess Dunke!"
Kangxi's expression changed, and his previously calm gaze became suppressed.
"Nothing else to discuss today, court is adjourned."
The eldest prince's faction and the crown prince's faction, who were arguing fiercely, immediately fell silent. Lin Qingse, seeing the emperor's expression, also had a bad feeling.
Instinctively, she rushed to the princess's residence immediately after court, not caring about the rule that one could not ride a horse in the capital. She rode her horse back to the residence at breakneck speed.
Seeing the anxiety on the faces of the guards at the gate, she felt even more anxious. Ignoring what the guards were about to say, she immediately ran towards Qingyin's east courtyard.
The sight of the imperial physicians coming and going in the east courtyard, along with the panicked expressions on their faces, made her heart sink completely.
Opening the door, one is greeted by a stunningly beautiful face, as serene and ethereal as a full moon. However, the sickly beauty is like a colorful bubble floating in the air, fleeting, fragile, and dreamlike.
The blood the beauty coughed up stained the clean bed and also reddened Lin Qingse's eyes. Wasn't she already much better? She had clearly decided that she would spend this lifetime dressing up Ke'er...
Lin Qingse no longer had eyes for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager standing to the side; her heart was filled with the girl who had broken her heart.
As her blood and qi surged within her body, Qingyin vomited a mouthful of blood, which actually made her feel a little better. Her long, flowing silver hair was also stained with bright red, making her look even more bewitching. This captivating beauty made people gasp for breath.
She waved to Lin Qingse, who was standing there dumbfounded. She had just managed to exchange a few words with Grandma and Grandmother, and she couldn't miss these most important people. She didn't want to hear the news of the mission target's suicide as soon as she returned to the system space.
Upon regaining consciousness, Lin Qingse immediately embraced Qingyin. The person in her arms was pitifully thin. Normal people become extremely ugly when they are emaciated due to illness, but Qingyin was like a white butterfly fluttering in the sunlight, fragile yet extremely beautiful.
“Ke’er,”
“I don’t think I’ve ever said this before. Ah Qing is the most capable and gentlest person I’ve ever met. Ah Qing, after I die, you must live well, both for me and for yourself, and live up to the expectations of the people.”
"Okay!" Lin Qingse quietly hugged her precious treasure, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Emperor Kangxi and his princes arrived late, and Qingyin, just like in the beginning, revealed the last faint smile of this life.
The sweltering summer of that year still couldn't hold onto that exceptionally talented princess.
After Qingyin left, Lin Qingse composed herself and became even more aloof and detached in court. She showed no emotion whatsoever when it came to judging cases. Even after the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, Yinzhen still treated his brother-in-law kindly, stopping some high-ranking officials from retaliating because of Lin Qingse's uprightness and ruthlessness. He ensured that Lin Qingse remained the upright and incorruptible Minister of the Court of Judicial Review for the rest of her life, and even had the people build a temple for her.
