"Empress Dowager, the eldest princess ran away again, and more than a dozen secret guards couldn't stop her!" Long Wu, who replaced Long Qing as the sword-bearing guard, appeared hurriedly to report.
"A bunch of idiots!" Ji Xiang snorted coldly, quickly stood up and used Qinggong to leave. Xiangze has become crazy since she woke up. She kills anyone she sees without saying a word, and has already killed dozens of guards. Ji Xiang has no choice but to let the secret guards she secretly trained protect Xiangze. Although the secret guards can protect themselves, they dare not force Xiangze because of her identity, so she always escapes!
In the queen's bedroom, A Luo put Nan Han on the bed, then pulled out the sword from the bedside, and swung the sword at the imperial physician who was following closely behind him, fiercely cutting off his head.
Poor imperial physician, he had to be a scapegoat for nothing!
"Your Majesty..." Leng Jiu looked at A Luo worriedly.
"Please ask Doctor Hu!" Ah Luo said coldly. Doctor Hu was his man, and he would definitely be able to save Nan Han!
"Yes!" Leng Jiu hurried over and soon brought Doctor Hu.
"How is it?" A Luo asked anxiously after Doctor Hu finished taking the pulse.
“Your Majesty, the Empress’s body was in need to begin with, and coupled with the overdose of medicine, she will definitely not be able to keep the child. As for whether the Empress can get pregnant again, I’m afraid…” Imperial Doctor Hu whispered, then shook his head.
A Luo was stunned, his eyes bulged, and he whispered, "Go down!"
Doctor Hu quickly took his leave and asked the palace maid to get the medicine he had written.
"Your Majesty..." Leng Jiu saw A Luo standing in front of the couch without saying a word, so he wanted to comfort him.
"Everyone go down!" A Luo waved his hand coldly.
Leng Jiu nodded and signaled all the servants to leave.
Only A Luo and Nan Han were left in the room.
A Luo slowly sat down on the bed and tightly held Nan Han's pale and transparent little hand. He did not have love for this woman who trusted him and gave everything to him, but he was grateful.
After being deeply hurt by Shui'er, it was this woman who stood by him and never left him. For so many days and nights, they stayed in a room silently, without even talking. But at least he was not lonely in his heart, as he had someone to accompany him!
It really doesn’t matter whose child it is. Maybe he doesn’t love Nanhan, so he doesn’t care. He just wants the feeling of having someone by his side so that he can quietly lick his scars and heal his wounds.
But now...A Luo looked at the woman's pale face, reached out his hand, took the handkerchief beside the bed and wiped the blood off her forehead. She must have kowtowed to that woman, but that woman had changed, becoming more and more terrifying. She...
When he thought of Ji Xiang's resentful eyes, A Luo became alert. In fact, he never felt that his mother had ever won. Back then, his mother Liu Yirou became the queen and showed off everywhere.
But he saw with his own eyes the sneer of that woman, Ji Xiang. At that moment, he knew that his mother was just self-righteous and thought that she had won, just like in his father's heart, there was only this woman from beginning to end.
At first he thought that women were calm and would not fight with their mothers, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Royal brother, royal brother, I'm here to play with Nanhan. Woo ha ha, Nanhan is sleeping. What a lazy bum, he won't get up!" Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a figure rushed in, shouting loudly, and rushed to the bed.
A Luo's eyes were painful. No matter what Xiang Xiang was like, he really liked this imperial sister. It was just a pity... A Luo quickly got up.
Fearing that Xiangze would disturb Nanhan, he took her out of the room, "Xiangze, Nanhan is tired, be good, play by yourself!"
"Why is Nanhan tired? No way, the last time I came to play with her, she played with me, how could she..." Xiangze said as he rushed inside.
"You..." A Luo hugged her tightly and whispered, "Xiangze, my brother is in a bad mood now, don't make trouble. Nanhan's child is gone, she is very sad, don't bother her!"
Suddenly, Xiangze stopped moving. She slowly looked back, and her terrifying eyes scared A Luo.
"You said...you said Nanhan's child is gone?" Xiangze's expression was no longer as crazy as before, and her eyes slowly turned to A Luo.
A Luo was stunned and looked at her, "Xiangze, are you okay?"
Xiangze didn't answer him, but held A Luo's hand tightly, "You said Nanhan's child is gone? Why?"
A Luo smiled coldly, "Why? Go back and ask your mother. She was the one who killed Nan Han's child!"
Xiangze was stunned, as if he had lost his soul. Suddenly he screamed and went towards Fengchen Palace.
Just as Luo was about to chase after him, he heard Nan Han's voice coming from the room. He quickly turned around and rushed into the room.
Perhaps because of Xiangze's interruption, Nanhan woke up from her coma. Although her eyes were still closed, she was shouting, "My child, my child!" Soon she changed to "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu!"
A Luo stepped forward, held her hand tightly, and whispered, "Nanhan, I'm here, here!"
Nan Han finally woke up. After seeing that it was A Luo, she threw herself into his arms and said urgently, "A Luo, that child is yours, yours, he..."
She suddenly touched her belly and then shouted, "Is he gone? No more?"
A Luo looked at her sad expression and nodded heavily.
Nan Han felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She sat there in a daze for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears.
A Luo just held her hand tightly, not knowing how to comfort her.
After a long while, Nan Han seemed to finally remember something, and hurriedly grabbed his collar and shouted, "Where's Xiaoyu? Where's Xiaoyu?"
When Luo turned his eyes away, he saw that Xiaoyu had been beaten to death by Ji Xiang's guards, and her body had been thrown into a mass grave outside the palace.
"Xiao Yu is... dead?" Nan Han tightened his grip on her clothes, his eyes widened, and asked in disbelief.
A Luo nodded silently again.
The room suddenly became quiet. Nan Han lay down on the bed like a lifeless puppet, staring blankly at the ceiling, with only one sentence in his mouth, "I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home..."
A Luo sighed quietly, held her hand tightly and whispered, "Nanhan, if we lose the child, we can have another one. Don't be sad..."
But Nanhan seemed not to hear it and just kept repeating those words - I want to go home!
Ji Xiang and Long Wu came galloping over, just in time to see Xiang Ze rushing towards them like a madman.
"Xiangze!" Xiang quickly stepped forward and tried to support her, but she pushed him away.
"You..." Xiang was stunned and looked at her coldly, "Xiangze, how long are you going to act crazy and stupid?"
Xiangze's eyes turned red, and he stared at Xiang fiercely, "I hate you so much! I hate that I'm not really crazy! If I were really crazy, I wouldn't be able to see your tricks!"
Ji Xiang's eyes darkened, and he instinctively looked back around, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiangze sneered, "Do you also know how to be afraid? Mother, what do you want us to do to make you stop? You hate Liu Yirou, but Nanhan has no grudge against you, why do you treat her like that?
You know what? A few days ago, I went to see her, and she comforted me with her own words. She said that although she was very painful to lose her virginity, she truly fell in love with the emperor at that moment, so she did not blame God or anyone else.
She just wanted to live happily with her brother! But now you killed her child, you shattered her only dream. Do you understand what this dream means to Nan Han? It means everything!"
Xiangze was almost shouting at the top of her lungs. Since she returned to the palace, she didn't want to see anyone. Nanhan was the one who often accompanied her. Perhaps because of their common experiences, she and Nanhan got along very well.
That's why she would often injure the guards and escape to find Nan Han. Only with Nan Han by her side would she be willing to be normal. The rest of the time, she wished she was crazy, to forget the pain of being abandoned and the nightmare...
"Xiangze, I am your mother!" Xiang spoke coldly, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and ordered coldly, "Long Wu, take her back!"
"Who dares?" Xiangze yelled, looking fiercely at Long Wu who rushed over, "Who dares to touch me? Mother, I won't let you go on like this, I'm going to tell father!"
Ji Xiang's eyes darkened, and he suddenly raised his arm and slashed her shoulder hard. Xiang Ze raised her head and immediately fell into Ji Xiang's arms.
"Long Wu, take the princess back!" Ji Xiang said coldly and handed Xiangze to Long Wu.
Long Wu nodded and left quickly.
