When Shen Mingzhuang saw him like this, he felt both sad and angry.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Wang's expression froze slightly, then he laughed again, stepped forward, put his arm around Shen Mingzhuang's shoulder, and looked down at her carefully. Shen Mingzhuang's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, but when Jiang Wang looked at her like that, her face remained expressionless. Her beautiful lips curved without smiling, and she was still as beautiful as ever, but at this moment she looked rather cold and aloof.
"What happened? What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
As Jiang Wang spoke, he reached out to take Shen Mingzhuang's hand and laughed, "Look at you, you really have been asleep for five years, and you're still just as childish as you were five years ago."
His voice carried a hint of melancholy, and when he reached out his hand, Shen Mingzhuang avoided it.
"Don't try to fool me. Don't you know you don't have much time left?"
Seeing that he still refused to say anything, Shen Mingzhuang immediately lost his temper, withdrew his hand and hid it behind his back, glaring at Jiang Wang with displeasure.
Jiang Wang avoided her gaze as if trying to evade it.
"Who told you that? That's not true."
His tone lowered involuntarily, revealing a hint of insecurity and unease.
Shen Mingzhuang knew from his expression that there was no need to ask anything.
It seems that Song Yi really knows everything, while she herself knows very little about what has happened in the past five years. She doesn't even know about Jiang Wang's situation, and only heard about it from other people.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wang felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms, whispering gently, "Everyone has their day in this life. As long as I haven't let anyone down while I'm alive, what is there to fear?"
Shen Mingzhuang was speechless, but her heart was heavy. She had only been awake for a short time, and her peaceful days had not lasted long. Was everything about to be shattered again?
She thought of Shijiang, and of space. She thought of those things that shouldn't exist in theory but truly do. She couldn't help but wonder if there must be a way to change Jiang Wang's current predicament.
Suddenly, she felt a surge of courage. Her eyes lit up, and she reached out to grasp Jiang Wang's hand, asking anxiously, "What did the imperial physician say? How much time do we have left?"
She needs to know the details in order to find a way to change things.
She had to estimate how much time she had left.
Jiang Wang didn't know why the girl, who had been angry and uneasy just moments before, had suddenly become lively again, her eyes instantly filled with vitality. He thought for a moment and replied, "At most half a year, or three months if things don't go well."
It felt as if a huge boulder had pressed down on him, and Shen Mingzhuang's heart suddenly felt heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Three months? If it's only three months, then that's far too short a time for her.
She suddenly felt anxious and uneasy.
If Shi Jiang were here, perhaps there would be a way to solve this problem, but Shi Jiang is gone, so who can help her?
She closed her eyes, letting go of her inner struggle, and took a deep breath. No one could help her; only she could help herself.
There must be something useful in the space. Shi Jiang appeared in the space back then. He has mentioned it many times. The space is wonderful. In addition, all the good things that Shi Jiang collected in the past are in the space. Maybe there are some magic pills?
She wanted to go back to Jiaofang Palace immediately to search for it properly, but Jiang Wang grabbed her wrist nervously. "I... I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that I haven't figured out how to tell you about this yet."
Jiang Wang smiled bitterly, his eyes revealing a helplessness that made it impossible to miss the opportunity.
"No matter what, I will make proper arrangements for you and Xuan'er before I leave."
Shen Mingzhuang was on edge at the moment and couldn't stand such words. Upon hearing this, his face immediately turned cold. "Jiang Wang, do you think that if you die, I will still stay in the palace and remain chaste for you? If you die, I will remarry with my son!"
But after she finished speaking, she froze. She was now the Empress, and her son was the Crown Prince. Could she remarry?
"If my son can't leave, then I'll leave by myself!"
She thought for a moment, then added angrily.
Jiang Wang couldn't help but laugh. This girl was clearly saying things out of anger, but he always found her incredibly cute and couldn't resist reaching out to pinch her cheeks, squeeze her fingers, and then hug her and kiss her.
Shen Mingzhuang felt a bit annoyed when he saw him laughing so hard he was shaking.
"I'm not joking with you, I'm serious!"
Jiang Wang smiled and nodded, reached out and touched her hair, then hugged her in his arms again. After thinking for a moment, he said gently, "Be good, I'll come to Jiaofang Palace to have dinner with you after I finish my business."
Then, as if worried that Shen Mingzhuang would be sad, he gently patted her back and said with a smile, "I promised you this position as Empress, and I will never let you lose it. And Xuan'er..." He paused, thinking of some things from the past, and couldn't help but sigh, "I have always felt indebted to Xuan'er. You suffered a lot because of my youthful arrogance. In the past five years, I have thought a lot about this."
"You are the woman I insisted on marrying, and Xuan'er is the child my woman risked her life to give birth to. You are both the most important people in my life. But I was too young back then and was troubled by my inner demons, which is why I repeatedly went into dead ends and caused you a lot of grievances."
He looked up into the distance and couldn't help but fall into memories.
"But all that is in the past. People always have to look forward. It's just that I realized it too late. By the time I was able to entrust you with my life, I was no longer able to protect you and Xuan'er for long. In these last days, I can only think carefully about what will happen to you and Xuan'er in the future. Even if I'm gone, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
