"I, I didn't..." He couldn't utter the last word 'I did' under Bei Yutang's cold eyes.
She knew, she knew everything.
The virtuous concubine collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, Bei Yutang coughed violently, and a fishy-sweet smell gushed out of her mouth. She picked up a silk handkerchief and covered her mouth with it. The bright red blood instantly dyed the snow-white handkerchief red.
"Your Majesty." Jin Chai and Jin Zhuo both looked anxious and worried.
The virtuous concubine looked at her and suddenly laughed softly. At the end, her laughter became louder and louder.
She stood up and looked at her with resentment, "Bei Yutang, do you think you are so great? You are just a pitiful creature. Do you think the emperor really loves you? No, the emperor has never loved you. You are just a shield for Xia Yuwei. Now that the Xia family has fallen, it will soon be your Bei family's turn. I am going to die, and soon your Bei family and you will also die."
"Shut up." Bei Yutang seemed to have exhausted all his strength in saying these two simple words. Instantly, his blood rushed to his head, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
In the last second of her fainting, she cried out in her heart, "Fuck you!" She definitely didn't faint because of anger, but because her body was really broken.
When Concubine Xian saw that she had fainted from anger, she laughed heartily.
When Nan Shaotian stepped into the palace, he saw this scene. He pushed the mad concubine away, picked her up in a hurry, and hurried into the bedroom.
Before leaving, he said coldly, "Take this crazy woman away. I don't want to see her again."
That night, the virtuous concubine passed away.
From that day on, Nan Shaotian remained by her side almost every step of the way. Meanwhile, the Southern Emperor issued a bounty order, which spread throughout the Southern Kingdom. All renowned doctors were invited to the palace to treat Bei Yutang.
Every time he treated Bei Yutang, he took advantage of the time when she was asleep.
But so far, nothing has been found.
Bei Yutang's sleeping time became longer and longer. Sometimes, while chatting with him, he would fall asleep without any warning, which scared Nan Shaotian several times.
He was afraid that one day she would not be able to wake up.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Bei Yutang was in exceptionally good spirits. She even had the energy to play chess with him. That day, Nan Shaotian lost miserably.
"Shao Tian, I want to sleep for a while."
"I'll stay with you."
Bei Yutang narrowed her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm. Shao Tian, can you promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?" Nan Shaotian held her hand, not daring to use force for fear of hurting her.
"Can you agree to let my father retire from the army?"
As early as when she was in poor health, she wrote a letter to Beifu, asking him to hand over all military power after defeating the barbarians. Beifu was a smart man and naturally understood what she meant.
A few days ago, Beifu had returned to the court and asked Nan Shaotian to take back the military power in the court. However, for some unknown reason, Nan Shaotian did not agree.
Perhaps he was afraid of being criticized, saying that he was only as good as the dog after the rabbit died.
No matter what his purpose was, she only wanted to protect the Bei family at the end of her life. She hoped that Nan Shaotian would spare the Bei family for her sake and avoid the fate of having the entire family executed.
Nan Shaotian's heart trembled when he heard her words.
He had been deceiving himself, she had never known, never would have known his previous plans. It turned out that she knew everything, yet she endured it all silently.
