Chapter 502 Serious Illness
The physicians who received the imperial edict arrived in Pingbo City one after another.
Gillian and Man stood guard at the door.
No one is allowed to get close.
"Ladies, we're here to rescue the princess, what are you doing?"
Ah Man shouted, "The princess doesn't need you, leave now!"
The guards in the courtyard all drew their swords and attacked.
All the patients were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
One of them spoke up, "We are here to treat the princess on the orders of His Majesty and Her Majesty the Empress! Are you trying to disobey the imperial decree?"
"Ah Jiao, Ah Man!"
Just then, a deep voice came from behind.
Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Saijin and Fatty, who had returned from other cities after finishing their military affairs.
Fatty pushed through the crowd and walked up to the two men.
"Ah Jiao, Ah Man, move aside."
The two shouted urgently, "Master!"
Fatty patted the two men on the shoulders. "Make way."
Gillian and Man raised their sleeves to wipe away their tears, then turned and left.
The room door was opened, and a chill rushed out.
Everyone saw that there were ice basins everywhere in the room.
As we entered the room...
A faint scent wafted over.
It smelled like a rotting corpse.
Everyone was shocked.
Look at the person lying on the bed.
The red mole on her face was no longer bright.
Princess Zhenguo is dead!
The arrogant little devil has actually perished!
News of Qin Shi'an's death spread quickly.
When the news reached the capital, it was like a huge rock crashing down on a lake.
Some people knew the news and remained inactive.
Some people are already eager to take the stage.
But these people were filled with boundless ecstasy.
The sword hanging over their heads was finally gone.
The emperor and empress were grieving and did not attend court for three days.
I've heard that not only the Empress, but even His Majesty is seriously ill and bedridden.
He refused to eat or drink anything.
The imperial physicians and palace servants were extremely anxious.
Eunuch Hong anxiously pleaded at the emperor's bedside, "Your Majesty, I beg you, please eat something."
The emperor closed his eyes and said, "I have no appetite. Take everything away."
Hong Dequan immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for three days. How can your body continue like this? When the princess was alive, she was most worried about your health. Even if it's just for the princess's sake, please eat something."
The emperor's nose tingled with emotion. "Go down."
Left with no other choice, Hong Dequan had to lead his men down.
As I came out, I saw Lady Li walking anxiously toward His Majesty's palace.
"Eunuch Hong, Her Majesty the Empress has been burning a fever for three days now, and today, she can't be fed any medicine no matter what we do. Please, Your Majesty, think of a solution!"
Hong Dequan looked troubled. "Miss Li, His Majesty has not eaten or drunk anything for three days. This old servant is extremely anxious."
The two were in a panic, pacing back and forth, wondering, "What should we do?"
Li's eyes were a little red. "If only the princess were here, the princess would have the best ideas."
After hearing this, Eunuch Hong wiped away his tears with his sleeve.
The two masters have become like this precisely because of the princess's death.
At this moment, the door to the palace was opened.
The emperor came out from inside.
Eunuch Hong quickly said, "Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at the maid Li and said, "Take me to see Ah Ying."
When news of Qin Shi'an's death reached the palace, Jiaofang Palace closed its doors to all visitors.
The Empress fell seriously ill and never recovered.
Having exhausted all other options, Lady Li decided to come and invite His Majesty.
The group arrived at the Queen's palace.
The emperor said to the maid Li, "Go and brew another dose of medicine."
Then he said to the other palace servants, "You may all leave."
After everyone left.
The emperor sat beside the empress's bed.
“Back then, when Ziyi died at Xialu Pass, my heart ached unbearably.”
When Ah Ye came to me with evidence, hoping I could cover up the cause of Zi Yi's death, I felt even more ashamed.
My son killed Aye's son, but he spared Chengqian's life because of the people of the world.
I feel ashamed of failing Ziyi, ashamed of the Qin family, and ashamed of my failure as a father.
I was afraid that Chengqian would harm Jinzhi, so I brought her into the palace.
She embodies the most despicable thoughts of an emperor.
But she's just a tiny little thing, and when she sees you, she'll blink and smile at you.
I held her a lot when she was little, but this brat just favors you.
They only try to please and act cute when they're being mischievous.
Every time I see her little face, I think, so what if she gets into a little trouble?
As I began to learn, I discovered that this little rascal was actually quite clever.
When she was eight years old, she returned to the palace with a pale face.
Ziyi married a vicious woman!
She faked her death and eloped with someone, which I didn't want to pursue, but she actually poisoned Jinzhi.
My daughter was only eight years old. That day, I wanted nothing more than to tear that poisonous woman to pieces.
That same day, I realized for the first time that Jinzhi was indeed a child with almost supernatural intelligence.
The calmness in the eyes of an eight-year-old child is terrifying.
She handled the matter with the ease of a seasoned politician.
She's right. If she were my bloodline, I might really have killed her.
When Jinzhi was eight years old, even though she had some intelligence that surpassed that of her peers, she was too young, and the ambition in her eyes was too naked.
That ambition was so pure that it seemed a single spark could burn down the entire wasteland.
I think that if Jinzhi were to learn the truth someday, the State of Jin might truly face a cataclysmic upheaval.
This idea grew stronger with every step of her growing up.
But I still imparted all my knowledge to her. I no longer just taught her what was in the books; I began to teach her cunning, tactics, and strategies. What I taught her was the art of rulership from me, Xiao Yuanqi.
Even if she grows into someone capable of overthrowing me, Xiao Yuanqi.
But my thoughts are also conveyed by her.
She resembles me, you, Qin Ye, Ziyi, and even that poisonous woman.
Jinzhi is too clever; she can absorb everyone's strengths.
But it will not be affected by anyone.
Despite facing numerous obstacles, she killed to her heart's content.
I truly cannot imagine what would have happened if her life had not ended in the prime of her youth.
What kind of world will it create in the future?
If you say she's biased, I'm not wrong.
She feared that the emperor's heart was as deep as an abyss.
She was afraid that you would have no one to rely on after she died, so she arranged everything.
Her factions were established with my tacit approval.
But after her death, all those powers will belong to you.
This is how Jinzhi repays you for the true kindness of raising you.
She wants you to truly control half the country.
My sincerity, however, is mixed with pretense.
So she only resented me, her grandfather, but not you, her grandmother.
If she could see this from heaven, she'd probably be thinking, "When I get up there, I'll see how I get revenge for you."
Ah Ying, your granddaughter feels sorry for you, so you should feel sorry for your granddaughter too.
The prepared medicine was brought in.
The emperor personally fed the medicine.
The moment the medicine was fed into the Empress's mouth.
Tears slid down the Queen's hair.
The emperor wiped away the tears from the empress's face.
Finally, he fed all the medicine.
The emperor sat quietly by the bed.
A very, very long time passed.
The empress's hoarse voice rang out.
"I want to build a mausoleum for Jinzhi."
