Chapter 333 Planning, do you want to leave the palace?
The five words "I can't last more than half a year" were like a bolt of lightning.
With a loud bang, Jiang He took a step back, his face full of shock. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
In just a blink of an eye, the blood color on his face faded completely, leaving a pale white. He supported himself against the wall with his hands, trying hard to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "Impossible... How is this possible?"
"She was in good health. I saw her a few days ago and she was fine. How could she suddenly become like this?"
She is less than 40 years old, how could she not last more than half a year?
She should live to old age, and become empress dowager and grand empress dowager from a queen, enjoying the unparalleled honor in the world, and finally sleep in a warm bed surrounded by her children and grandchildren.
How is it possible that I only have half a year left to live?
Lin Miaoyin took in his reactions one by one, and when she saw that the pain on his face did not seem fake, she felt relieved.
Jiang He did not hurt his aunt that day because he valued his aunt very much.
It was just because he aroused his aunt's emotional knot, making it difficult for her to get over the hurdle in her heart.
If you want your aunt to get better, you have to overcome that hurdle.
Lin Miaoyin explained her purpose. "My aunt suddenly vomited blood and fell ill after seeing you. I want to know what you said to my aunt that day that caused her such a great shock."
"Don't worry, Lord Jiang. Only you and I know what we talked about tonight. No one else will hear it. I, Lin Miaoyin, can guarantee it with my life."
Jiang He fell silent for a moment, his expression solemn.
If anyone knew what the Queen said that day, it would be a capital crime.
But……
This matter is a lifelong knot in her heart. If she doesn't untie it, she will die.
Jiang He covered his face in pain and sobbed silently.
After a pause, he spoke in a hoarse voice, full of torture, "She wanted me to take her away, but I refused..."
"What?!"
Take your aunt away?
Where are you going?
Lin Miaoyin suppressed her inner surprise and asked uncertainly, "Is this the way I understand it?"
After saying the most difficult words, Jiang He's concerns became less. He wiped his face heavily, his eyes becoming a little bloodshot. "Yes, take her away from Emperor Ming and the palace."
"More than 20 years ago, she asked me to take her away, and I sent her to the palace. 20 years later, she asked me the same question again, but I..."
"But I still rejected her and left her to suffer in this cannibalistic palace!"
After saying that, he suddenly slapped himself hard twice, choking and saying, "It's my fault that I'm useless. It's all because of me. If I were useful, I wouldn't be in this situation today."
Unable to protect the woman he loved, unable to protect his family, even he could only live in misery, living like a rat in the gutter.
For a man to live to this state is no better than being dead!
Lin Miaoyin felt a little sorry to see him in so much pain.
As fate would have it, a prophecy separated a pair of lovers.
She sighed, feeling a little sad, and had a little more respect for him.
After knowing the whole story, Lin Miaoyin didn't dare to stay any longer. "I know about this. I will find a way to deal with my aunt. Don't let anyone know about your relationship with your aunt. And you should take care of your health."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang He fell to his knees with a plop, his words filled with endless pleading, "Princess Ning, please save her. She is still so young and has suffered so much."
"I beg you to save her. As long as you can let her live, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
The man's voice was sad, filled with endless prayers and sorrow, which was extremely heartbreaking to listen to.
Lin Miaoyin was startled by his action, and hurriedly turned back to help him up, and gave him a positive answer, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, even if you didn't say this, I will definitely do my best to save my aunt."
Jiang He was relieved at this. With tears in his eyes, he lowered his head silently and said, "Thank you, Princess Ning."
"I am sorry to bother you, Princess. I will take my leave now."
The Queen's illness seemed to have taken away this man's spine. His once straight back became hunched, and he walked with a stagger, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Lin Miaoyin's heart was moved. For his infatuation and for her aunt, she asked, "Master Jiang, do you have anything you want me to say to my aunt?"
"without……"
Jiang He stopped after saying one word and lowered his head as if thinking. After a moment, he looked up with determination in his eyes.
"I have something to say, Princess Ning, please tell me."
…
After Lin Miaoyin knew the whole story, she concealed her whereabouts and returned to Ganquan Palace to visit the queen.
The queen had just woken up. A serious illness had made her almost ten years older. She had no energy at all and seemed to be counting down her life.
After seeing Lin Miaoyin coming, the queen forced a smile and asked in a tired voice, "Why are you here so late?"
"I was thinking about my aunt, so I came to see her."
Lin Miaoyin stepped forward and held her hand. The queen's originally well-maintained hands had become dry and dull, and felt very irritating to the touch.
Seeing the queen's lack of interest in life and her appearance of waiting for death, Lin Miaoyin had all kinds of thoughts churning through her mind, which finally condensed into a daring idea.
Maybe she will pay a huge price for this, but this will be the best outcome for my aunt.
"Go back after you've seen it. You'an still needs you."
The queen took a breath after each sentence, her voice was extremely weak, "Don't waste your time here, I'm already..."
"aunt."
Lin Miaoyin interrupted her, her expression solemn and she asked seriously, "Do you want to leave the palace?"
The queen's face turned even paler in an instant, and she started coughing in excitement. After she recovered, she scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about..."
Her chest rose and fell, and she glanced around the hall, making sure no one was around before she calmed down a little, "You shouldn't say things like that."
"I know everything."
Lin Miaoyin decided to lay everything out tonight and said, "Aunt, if you want to leave the palace, I can help you get out."
“No!”
The queen was so anxious that she started coughing again. Her face turned red from coughing, but she still gasped and warned, "Don't have such thoughts...
This is a capital crime punishable by death.
How could she, a dying person, involve Miaoyin as well?
That day she asked Jiang He if he could take her away, but it was just a momentary excitement and emotional nonsense.
She figured it out the next day.
Once you enter the palace, don't expect to get out alive.
Once you enter the royal family, you will be a royal ghost after you die in this life. You will be stamped with the mark of the Beigong royal family, and you can't escape it even in hell.
Leaving the palace was just her unrealistic delusion.
All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects.
Even if she could leave the palace, where could she go?
Having been married to Emperor Ming for more than twenty years, she understood him better than anyone else.
He has colder blood than anyone else in the world and is cold-hearted and ruthless in his bones. He would never tolerate a queen who brought shame upon him.
As long as she dared to have this idea, she and Jiang He would surely die.
She has harmed 130 people in the Jiang family and ruined Jiang He's life. She can't let Miaoyin be harmed too.
The queen tightly grasped Lin Miaoyin's hand, her eyes were bloodshot, and she gasped, "Miaoyin...promise me, don't do such a stupid thing..."
She used up all her strength to say this, "He is more cruel than anyone else. He will not let you go, nor will he let Prince Ning go, and certainly not You'an."
