As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Luochen felt a pain in his heart, and his pupils suddenly became clear.
He looked at her with disbelief and a complex, suffocating bitterness.
"So, when you personally selected the concubine that day, it was not only to get rid of Sheng Huayao, but also to help me weigh the pros and cons and balance the court?!"
She, she could actually do so much for herself!
A tear fell from the corner of Sheng Wu's eye, and she smiled palely, her voice unconsciously becoming a little weak.
"It's alright. I'm also the vicious Queen Mother that everyone fears and hates. If I take action to eliminate Sheng Huayao, it will lower the General's Mansion's guard against you. Those rumors are even more insignificant to me than your imprisonment."
These words undoubtedly dug a hole in Xiao Luochen's heart.
The vicious queen mother, feared and loathed by everyone...
He, at that time, seemed to be just like everyone else.
He looked at her with loss and disgust, but she didn't explain anything and made all the arrangements for him!
And she understood even more clearly that he knew that she would die of poisoning today, yet he still stood outside.
Do nothing.
Let her die!
She, what kind of mood was she in when she ate the cake that she had poisoned!
[Male protagonist's favorability: 68!!!]
“Hmm!”
Sheng Wu spat out blood again. She frowned, her face looking painful and haggard. This time, she was really dying.
“Shengwu! Shengwu!”
"Don't die, the doctor is coming soon. Just bear with it a little longer, and the pain will go away soon!"
Seeing this, Xiao Luochen's pupils, which had gradually turned blood red, widened. He held Sheng Wu's hand in panic and called out to her in a desolate and compassionate voice.
My eyes became hot uncontrollably. A dignified emperor actually did this.
My eyes are wet!
"I, probably can't do it..."
Seeing this, Sheng Wu smiled gently, the pale and broken beauty of torture was breathtakingly beautiful.
She tilted her head, cautiously but eagerly leaning towards Xiao Luochen's chest.
Whispering softly.
"turn out to be......"
"Listening to your heartbeat in your arms, this is what it feels like..."
The corners of his lips slowly curled up, his tone was intermittent, vague, revealing a sense of regretless yet unwilling satisfaction.
After she finished speaking, the curve of her lips gradually softened, and finally her head sank heavily, and her breathing slowly stopped.
And the jade hand that Xiao Luochen was holding was obviously about to loosen.
"Sheng Wu! Sheng Wu! Wake up! Don't sleep! Imperial Physician!"
Seeing this, Xiao Luochen's pupils suddenly shrank.
He quickly clenched Sheng Wu's hand, his heart suddenly tightened and he felt suffocated by the pain.
He quickly hugged Sheng Wu tightly and shook her carefully, like a child who had lost something important, shouting anxiously and helplessly in a hoarse voice.
The emperor, who was always calm, reserved and cold, now looked at the guards around him in panic and fear, glaring at them angrily.
"Where's the imperial physician? Call him!"
"Someone, where is the imperial physician?"
Feeling the breath of the person in his arms gradually weakening, Xiao Luochen's hand trembled, and he hurriedly carried Sheng Wu over and rushed out of the hall in panic.
"Your Majesty! Meet Your Majesty!"
Fortunately, as soon as Xiao Luochen rushed to the door, Li Shuhuai and a group of imperial doctors rushed over in a hurry.
"Quick, come and see Sheng Wu! Quick!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!" The imperial doctors were also in a panic.
Xiao Luochen hurriedly put Sheng Wu down from his arms in panic. He held Sheng Wu in his arms, and looked at Li Shuhuai with an ugly and pale face as he took Sheng Wu's pulse.
"How is she? Is she okay? Will she be fine after a while of rest? Is she just asleep?! Tell me now!"
Xiao Luochen's extremely dark pupils were trembling and bloodshot, and his violent emotions were uncontrollably roaring in panic.
Li Shuhuai, who was taking Sheng Wu's pulse, changed his expression, and then he concentrated on checking again with trembling fingertips.
After this happened three times, his face turned pale and he quickly knelt on the ground and cried.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The Empress Dowager... has passed away!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Luochen felt as if his heart had fallen into an ice cellar. His heartbeat suddenly stopped for a moment. He opened his lips, and the next moment his face was tense again.
"Impossible, you quack! I'm going to kill you! You're talking nonsense!"
Xiao Luochen kicked Li Shuhuai with a cold and terrifying expression, and then yelled at the imperial doctors around him.
"What about you! If you make the wrong diagnosis, I'll kill you too!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After hearing this, the imperial doctors were speechless, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and hurriedly kneel down to take Sheng Wu's pulse.
However, after the imperial physician took the patient's pulse again and again, his face darkened.
Without saying anything, he just walked aside silently.
The next imperial physician came forward and had the same reaction.
Xiao Luochen watched as his heart gradually sank to the bottom. His pupils trembled slightly and his eyes looked ahead, not daring to look at the person in his arms who was no longer breathing.
The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet, kneel on the ground, lower their heads deeply, and mourn in silence.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has indeed passed away!"
Even though he already understood it in his heart, Xiao Luochen still didn't want to believe it. He moved his fingertips and slowly lowered his head.
There was no hysterical roar that the imperial physician would be buried with him.
No, no tears.
His pupils were bloodshot and his eyes were hot. He lowered his head and stared at his arms with a suffocating look.
There was blood at the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, her pulse had stopped, and her eyes were closed with a peaceful look.
It seemed that she was still as bright and cheerful as usual, but she was asleep.
Seeing this, the imperial doctors nearby tactfully and quietly stepped back and stood at the door.
Inside the main hall.
Xiao Luochen's breathing trembled, and he hugged Sheng Wu carefully. He raised the hand that had been holding her just now and slowly stroked her face.
The voice was trembling, with a low sobbing tone, revealing heartbreaking sorrow.
"Sheng Wu, I was wrong. Please wake up, I won't stop believing you."
As he spoke, a smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy and cold face.
With a look of helplessness and panic, he forced a smile to deceive himself, veins bulging on his forehead, and his expression was one of indescribable regret and self-blame.
"Are you, are you deliberately faking your own death to punish me? You're not dead, are you? You just want to see me feeling guilty and blaming myself. I, I know I was wrong. Wake up, please. If you wake up again and talk to me and make me angry, saying that I don't believe you, that you're angry, and you want to hit me and scold me, I'll take it all."
"Wake up and stop playing with me. Didn't you wake up last time?"
Having said that, Xiao Luochen's breath began to tremble extremely unsteadily. He lowered his head deeply and hugged Sheng Wu tightly, as if he wanted to wake her up from her deep sleep.
"Shengwu, I regret it."
A solitary cry filled with compassion dissipated in the air.
A drop of crystal slowly slid down from the corner of the emperor's eye, and no one saw it.
