Afternoon.
The warm sun after the first snow was delightful, shining on the palace servants coming and going in the corridor, making everyone look cheerful.
Although the sunlight shines equally on every inch of land, it seems to have bypassed Fengyi Palace.
In the Phoenix Palace.
Yet a cloud of gloom still hung over it.
Although the various exquisite and gorgeous decorations remained as usual, they even shone brighter under the careful wiping of the palace servants every day.
But it just makes people feel cold, even more chilly.
Granny Jiang looked at her mistress with a worried expression, and gradually, her hands, which were applying powder to her face, began to slow down.
"Your Majesty, you don't look well. Perhaps we should call it a day?"
After Bai Qing left, the Empress turned around and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, after which her complexion began to turn pale.
Her once rosy and radiant face suddenly turned ashen, the rosy glow faded, and the luster became dull.
Granny Jiang was terrified. She didn't know why her mistress, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, had suddenly started vomiting blood.
Now, the Empress is even supporting herself with her phoenix body, letting herself be dressed and made up, all so that she can present her best appearance in front of the Emperor.
Why is Your Majesty doing this?
Just as Granny Jiang was about to say something more to persuade her mistress, she was suddenly interrupted by Jiang raising her hand.
"I know my own body, you don't need to say anything. Granny, apply the makeup."
After saying this, the Empress closed her eyes tightly, looking weak and listless, barely managing to stay upright.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. You may be able to fool the Emperor's eyes, but you can't escape the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis."
Granny Jiang had no idea what was wrong with her mistress's health, even though the imperial physician had said that her mistress was already much better.
The empress did not open her eyes; her pupils rolled under her eyelids, but she still did not speak.
She doesn't plan to reveal this secret to anyone for the time being.
She wants to go out!
Being locked up in this cold, desolate place, she was going crazy.
Every night when she closes her eyes, she can recall that tormenting nightmare.
The Crown Princess nestled sweetly in the Emperor's arms, wearing the phoenix robe that originally belonged to her!
He could only kneel on the ground in humiliation, and watch helplessly as his enemy rose to power and ascended to the throne of empress.
No!
She doesn't want to be locked up here anymore.
If I don't leave soon, this harem will become Liu's domain!
so--
She secretly used a secret medicine...
This secret was unknown even to Jiang, the nanny who served her closely, and to Zhang, the imperial physician who took her pulse every day.
The Empress secretly resolved that she would not show mercy this time and would definitely take Liu's life!
She and her unborn child must die!
As for that ridiculous idea from before, the Empress no longer dares to have it at all.
It's best to nip it in the bud as early as possible.
In the end, Granny Jiang couldn't refuse her and had no choice but to apply powder and do her makeup as she asked.
Once dressed, the Empress regained her previous rosy complexion and looked even more robust than an ordinary person.
The Empress moved gently to the soft couch, supported herself with one hand, and closed her eyes to rest.
She is still waiting—
The Emperor's arrival.
Based on their years of understanding as husband and wife, the Empress guessed that the Emperor would still come this time.
I must seize this opportunity and take the chance to kill that Liu!
As the empress was thinking this, she suddenly opened her eyes, a fierce glint flashing in them.
Just as she expected, a notification sound came from outside the door—
"The Emperor has arrived!"
