Chapter 253: Meaningless
It's destined to be a sleepless night.
Xie Jingmo has been running a high fever.
The imperial physician said that Xie Jingmo kept calling someone's name.
Deputy General Gao subconsciously asked, "Who?"
Finished asking.
Deputy General Gao was embarrassed.
The imperial physician was also embarrassed.
It is extremely treasonous no matter how you listen to it that a general of the current dynasty covets the wife of the late emperor.
Mu Chengyan turned to Yun Zhao and said, "You go and take a look. After all, he was seriously injured because he was saving us. If something bad happened to him, he would feel bad."
Yun Zhao stood up.
To say that Xie Jingmo had a high fever was already a mild condition.
His whole body looked like it was soaked in water, and the quilt around him was wet. As soon as he changed it, it became soaked again.
"Queen Mother, if you can't take this medicine, then—"
The imperial physician did not say the words "there is no way to save the situation", but Yun Zhao understood.
She went over to feed him the medicine, but this time Xie Jingmo seemed determined to die and stopped talking.
She threw the bowl aside in annoyance and asked everyone to leave.
"Do you think I'll feel guilty towards you?"
"Xie Jingmo, there's no point in you doing this."
The room was as silent as water. The person who used to be the most argumentative was now so quiet that he seemed to be asleep.
Yun Zhao stared at him.
The hatred that had been there for a long time surged in my heart.
She took a few glances, then walked out and said to the doctor outside, "If you can't save him, wrap him up in a straw mat and throw him out!"
That night.
Xie Jingmo went from mumbling in his sleep to actually passing out, his breathing becoming shallow and almost non-existent.
The imperial physician asked someone to get a straw mat.
Deputy General Gao's eyes widened and he immediately knelt down. "Imperial Physician, this can't happen. Xie Jingmo is still young, he can't die like this! Please take another look! He was in good health before. We fought on the border and he was injured many times, but he only needed a few doses of medicine to recover. How could he die now?"
The imperial physician sighed softly, "The sword was poisoned, and now the poison has entered the lungs. Unless there is an antidote, otherwise—"
Deputy General Gao was stunned.
After a moment, he rushed to the door of Yun Zhao's room.
"Yun Zhao, I know you are in there."
"This is the jade pendant he originally wanted to give you. Back then... when we went to attack the Xiongnu, he returned to the city seriously injured, but he still had a piece of jade in his hand, which he carved for a long time, but he never gave it to you."
"I know he's very conflicted. He always feels that if he really falls in love with you, he's being manipulated by the Queen Mother to some extent, because you were sent by the Queen Mother."
"So, on ordinary days, he always restrains himself. Only when he is seriously injured, he dares to reveal his inner thoughts. He carved this jade himself and always keeps it with him."
"No matter the five thousand armors back then, or your entry into the palace later, he was unwilling to accept it, but tried hard to restrain himself. No matter what happened, he ultimately lost to himself, to you.
He said that he would never fall in love with anyone in his life, because his mother only loved power and he didn't want to be with a woman like that, because it would be like seeing his mother.
But you are good at calculating. Every time he sees you, he will think of his mother. While he tries to separate himself from you, he can't help but fall deeply into you.
Yun Zhao, even if he made a thousand mistakes, one thing is for sure: he was always serious about you. He just didn't understand love, he just didn't know how to love someone."
"He's awkward and stubborn, stubborn and cold, making up such a strange Xie Jingmo. But when he flew to save you, doesn't everything deserve forgiveness?"
"He knows he's wrong, he really knows he's wrong!"
"Even though he doesn't deserve your forgiveness, he has been in the southwest for three years, experienced life and death, and now he jumped, all because of you. He doesn't understand love, but everything he does for you is love."
After Deputy General Gao finished speaking, he gently put the jade pendant down.
Yun Zhao's door was always closed.
Someone was talking quietly outside.
"There was a lot of blood."
"The floor was covered in blood. Even after scrubbing it several times, there were still traces of blood on the floor."
"I heard that Xie Jingmo only had his last breath left."
"If Xie Jingmo dies, then the Queen Mother and the Regent can live happily together in the future, right?"
"I don't know. It's said that the dead will leave a permanent mark in people's hearts. Perhaps Xie Jingmo wants to use this method to stay in the Queen Mother's heart forever."
The door was opened with a creaky sound.
Yun Zhao walked out and went to Xie Jingmo's ward.
She stuffed the antidote into Xie Jingmo's mouth and said coldly, "You'll never be able to repay me in this lifetime! You want to leave like this? Dream on!"
The imperial physician wiped his eyes and said to Yun Zhao in ecstasy, "Empress Dowager, he swallowed it! He swallowed it!"
Yun Zhao looked at the person on the bed who relaxed for a long time and then slowly opened his eyes. He said coldly, "The poison is too deep, so the antidote will permanently damage certain functions. He is no different from a eunuch."
Suddenly.
The whole room was silent in shock.
They all stared at Yun Zhao in amazement.
Vice General Gao: "...something...which aspect?"
This question seemed to be asked, but also seemed like a nonsense question.
Everyone's expression was complicated for a moment.
Only Xie Jingmo was left. He was lying on the wet bed, looking at Yun Zhao with his eyes tilted. He tried to raise his hand to hold Yun Zhao's hand, but he fainted again because he was too tired.
"The Queen Mother is truly too cruel."
"That's right. General Xie just woke up five minutes ago and passed out. The Queen Mother actually ordered people to carry Xie Jingmo away. If something happened on the way, would he die again?"
"General Xie, if you're not good at that, then isn't your life the same as your death?"
"Why--"
Deputy General Gao was also speechless. He pursed his lips and walked to Yun Zhao's side. "Um... there are some things that I'm not sure how to say, but I think I still need to ask for Jing Mo, that -"
Yun Zhao drank his tea with a dull expression, "It's hard to say, so let's not talk about it."
Vice General Gao immediately said, "Yes."
Everyone had left, but the smell of blood still lingered in the house.
Yun Zhao looked back at Mu Chengyan and said softly, "I'm sorry, but we've been capturing the remnants of Concubine Yi and didn't expect there would be any left. Do you want to continue with the ceremony? I'll have someone prepare it again."
Mu Chengyan smiled and looked at Yun Zhao with some regret.
"No, you and I don't care about these things."
"You are tired today, have a good rest, I will go back first."
Yun Zhao just felt sorry. Mu Chengyan leaned over and kissed Yun Zhao on the forehead. "Don't take it to heart. I'm actually very happy that you did this for me."
Mu Chengyan's carriage swayed away.
Take away the last ray of light at dusk.
Yun Zhao stood at the door, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road. She blinked, and a bitter feeling of loss surged in her heart.
The next day.
The news of Xie Jingmo's disappearance due to the loss of a certain function spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Guo Tao's daughter Guo Yuanyuan took advantage of the rumors and got married suddenly and quickly.
