Chapter 183 Original Owner
The woman on the bed was originally lying quietly, but suddenly, her body shook violently, as if she was hit by an invisible force. She turned over with great effort and began to cough violently, as if she was going to cough out her heart and lungs.
She hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and her whole body was shaking with violent coughing.
Jun Zechen was surprised when he saw her turn around.
Her face seems to be quite different from the Yaoyao in my memory.
The woman's eyes were lifeless. Her once lively pupils were now like a pool of stagnant water. Her eye sockets were sunken, her skin was lifeless, and there was not even a bit of flesh on her face. Her pointed chin looked particularly abrupt.
But Jun Zechen could still vaguely recognize that this face seemed to be Yaoyao's, and the familiar outlines could still be vaguely seen between the eyebrows and eyes.
After a while, Miaoyun, who heard the noise, hurried in.
Her face was full of worry and her steps were flustered. "Master, what's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, he quickly walked to the side of "Su Jingyao" and supported her carefully and gently, as if he was holding a fragile treasure.
"Ahem, it's okay."
"Su Jingyao" coughed while squeezing out these two words with great difficulty, her face full of helplessness and numbness, as if she had gotten used to her sickly body.
She also knew that she would not live long. As the daughter of the Su family, she was too incompetent to win the favor of the prince, and she could not even gain a foothold in the Eastern Palace.
"Su Jingyao" laughed at herself, her smile full of bitterness.
I don’t know how my mother is doing in the Su Mansion. The prince is so cruel that he cut off her connection with the Su family. But it’s better to cut it off. If the concubines knew about her situation in the East Palace, they would probably ridicule my mother.
Miaoyun hurriedly brought the boiled medicine over, scooped up a small amount with a spoon, blew on it gently, and then fed it into her master's mouth.
Even though "Su Jingyao" knew that she would not live long, she still drank it obediently.
She raised her head slightly and cooperated with Miaoyun's movements, not wanting Miaoyun to worry too much about her.
Her body had been completely worn down by several bouts of cold, and her depression and long-term worry had made her health deteriorate. The doctors were helpless to do anything for her.
When Jun Zechen saw Miaoyun coming in, his brows frowned and he became even more confused.
Is she really Yaoyao? Why is there such a big difference?
Although Yaoyao was also very weak in the East Palace, it seems that something is not right...
And they seemed to be completely unable to see him?
Jun Zechen walked to the bedside, but neither the master nor the servant responded.
"Master, I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let the imperial physician come and see you."
As Miaoyun spoke, her eyes became red and her voice was filled with tears.
The reason why she went to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help was because Miaoyun had already asked the Crown Princess for help when her master fell ill for the first time.
But ever since the Crown Princess found out that the Crown Prince and her master had consummated their marriage, her attitude towards her master changed drastically, and she no longer cared about her master's current situation.
The people in the East Palace have always treated the master differently based on his status. Almost all of the master's expenses are paid for with the dowry.
Since the queen knew that her master was ill and could not sleep with her, she has been indifferent to him. To the queen, her master is no longer of any use to her......
Miaoyun felt angry and helpless when she thought about this.
Looking at her haggard master, she felt heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Miaoyun, no need. The prince now hates me deeply, so don't bother him anymore."
"Su Jingyao" said weakly, her voice was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
She shook her head slowly, and every movement seemed extremely difficult.
"Master, it was the Empress who drugged Your Highness, and you didn't seduce Your Highness. Why is Your Highness so heartless? Wuwu."
She was filled with righteous indignation, yet she felt powerless.
"Su Jingyao" shook her head again. She no longer had the strength to speak, and her eyes were empty.
Her mother did not hold her father's heart, and if she had not given birth to her brother, she would have had a hard time in the mansion.
She was useless. She had no way of winning His Highness' favor, nor could she give her mother confidence.
Jun Zechen listened to the conversation between the master and servant, his heart sank, and the expression on his face became very complicated.
The Queen Mother did drug him, but nothing happened between him and Yaoyao? Was this woman really Yaoyao?
If something had happened to him because of Chinese medicine and Yaoyao, he would indeed be very angry.
At that time, he would never allow his woman to plot against him. Even if his mother interfered, Jun Zechen would feel uncomfortable and even vent his anger on the beneficiary.
Moreover, he already had the intention to deal with the Su family at that time, so it was not impossible that he hated her because of this. But even if he hated her, he would not have let her live such a poor life by not favoring her.
Why did it become like this?
If he hadn't fallen in love with Yaoyao, would Yaoyao be the same as the woman lying here?
At first, all the affairs of the Eastern Palace were given to Ling Yue to take care of, but Ling Yue had never learned how to manage the affairs of the inner palace, so Jun Zechen arranged several experienced maids for her.
After Ling Yue entered the Eastern Palace, she didn't like learning these things. At that time, she was the only one in the Eastern Palace, and Jun Zechen didn't care. If she didn't want to learn, then don't learn. From then on, she left it to the maids to take care of.
Later, a series of things happened after Yaoyao entered the East Palace. Yaoyao gave birth, and Tang Fengyi also lost his child. Jun Zechen realized that Ling Yue should learn to manage the inner house instead of being a hands-off manager, so he assigned a teaching nanny to her again.
At first, his heart was only open to Ling Yue, and An Shun would only proactively report Ling Yue's affairs to him under his instructions.
Ling Yue, did she know that the woman on the bed was living such a miserable life? Or did she acquiesce to the people under her command treating her like this?
When Ling Yue was in charge of the palace, Yaoyao's palace dress was treated indifferently with her tacit consent...
If he didn't like Yaoyao, would Ling Yue from Donggong take advantage of his favor to hurt Yaoyao, just like the woman lying on the bed now?
When Jun Zechen thought of this, his brows knitted together and he fell into deep thought.
His heart was like a bottle of five flavors overturned, with all kinds of feelings intertwined together, making him feel confused and upset.
Jun Zechen didn't know why he was trapped in Xiyan Palace, but he felt like he was bound here by invisible shackles. Every day he watched the woman who was hovering on the brink of death, and the faint light of survival in his eyes was extinguished bit by bit.
Finally, those eyes were covered by a thick aura of death.
Jun Zechen grabbed his chest in pain, as if a big hand was squeezing his heart hard, making it difficult for him to breathe and his face turned pale.
Why did he see all this? What is the relationship between her and Yaoyao?
Not long after, perhaps the news of the woman's death spread like the wind, and soon, Ling Yue walked in.
The moment Jun Zechen saw her, he was in a trance for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
She is Ling Yue, is the woman lying there really Yao Yao? !
Ling Yue walked to the bed with a frown and glanced at the lifeless woman.
When this woman first married into the Eastern Palace, Ling Yue was filled with fear, fearing that her beauty would snatch the prince away.
Fortunately, the prince didn't like her. Even after he consummated his marriage with this woman, he still didn't like her.
"Please bury Concubine Su properly." Ling Yue's voice was as calm as water, without a trace of emotion.
"Master, Concubine Su has passed away. Should we tell His Highness?" Meixiang asked, with some hesitation and worry on her face.
Ling Yue was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly, "No need, Your Highness has been busy these days, the Imperial Concubine will talk to Your Highness in person in a few days."
Jun Zechen looked at Ling Yue, who seemed a little indifferent at this moment, and felt shocked and regretful.
At first, he seemed to have never noticed this side of her. Later, even when he knew that Ling Yue might have approached him with some ulterior motives, he still felt that she was not a bad person. But in fact, she was so jealous.
"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."
Jun Zechen's gaze fell on the woman lying on the bed again, not knowing whether it was his fault or Ling Yue's fault.
He made a promise to Ling Yue but didn't keep it, so Ling Yue was obsessed with getting rid of the threatening woman, but Ling Yue had been deceiving him with her innocence from the beginning...
Jun Zechen was feeling extremely heavy at this moment.
After Ling Yue finished giving the instructions, he turned around and left Xiyan Palace without hesitation.
