Feng Li's face was frighteningly pale, and Mo Shangqiu was not any better behind her. Her face, which was originally rosy, had also turned pale. Mo Shangqiu only retracted her hand when the black blood on the ground had turned into a rainbow color.
His hands rapidly changed their moves, and the purple light grew stronger and stronger. Mo Shangqiu finally struck out with both palms at Feng Li. Feng Li spat out a mouthful of blood from the force. She opened her weak eyes and forced herself to hold on.
Mo Shangqiu slowly got off the bed, exhausted. She held onto the edge of the bed to steady herself. He took out a golden pill and handed it to Feng Li. Feng Li looked at the golden pill in front of her and raised her eyes to look at Mo Shangqiu in confusion.
"This poison has been in your body for many years and is a slow-acting poison.”Feng Li was struggling in her heart whether she should believe Mo Shangqiu's words about taking the pill. What would happen if he ate this pill?
Mo Shangqiu did not say anything when she saw his struggling expression. After all, no one could be indifferent when it concerned their own life and safety. Mo Shangqiu saw that Feng Li had yet to make up her mind and was about to take back the pill in her hand.
Feng Li raised her pale face and asked with slight worry. "Is my poison completely cured?" Feng Li knew that this body of hers had been poisoned for many years and had secretly looked for many people who knew how to detoxify it.
For many years, the answer he got was that he could not find out what kind of poison it was. This made Feng Li very angry. He was only disappointed that he was unable to cure this poison. If he had not met Mo Shangqiu today, this poison might never have been cured. That was why Feng Li asked that question.
Mo Shangqiu forced a smile, but the words that came out of her mouth were frighteningly cold. "It's solved."
Feng Li finally smiled when she heard that. She reached out to take the pill from Mo Shangqiu's hand and swallowed it without hesitation. Mo Shangqiu turned around and instructed Feng Li on the things to take note of, while helping her bandage the wounds on her body. "Remember to eat more food to replenish your blood when you go back. Pay attention to your schedule and don't work too hard.”
Feng Li nodded her head repeatedly in agreement and looked at Mo Shangqiu gratefully. Mo Shangqiu looked at the figure outside the door and said. "You can come in now."
The door creaked open and the man beside Feng Li hurriedly entered the room. Worried, he went to the bed to see if Feng Li was safe and sound. He saw that Feng Li was only lying on the bed with a slightly pale complexion and her life was not in danger. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, and his heart that was in his throat calmed down.
Mo Shangqiu ordered coldly, not even bothering to look at him. "Put on his clothes so he doesn't catch a cold.”That's right, she was just giving orders to her servants. Mo Shangqiu did not like people who gave her a hard time. Moreover, that man did not have the ability to be arrogant to her.
Feng Li lay on the bed for two hours, her complexion turning better. Her actions of getting out of bed were clean and neat, not like an injured person at all. Just as Mo Shangqiu's recovery speed was too astonishing, Feng Li came to Mo Shangqiu and cupped her fists to thank him. "Thank you for saving me, Young Lady. Please give me your name and I will visit you to thank you another day.”
Mo Shangqiu casually waved her hand, looking troubled. "Young Master, there's no need to be so polite.”
Feng Li nodded in understanding and took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Mo Shangqiu. He said gratefully," This is a small gift to thank Mo Shangqiu for saving my life. If you have any problems in the future, just bring him to Yue Fu Restaurant to look for the manager." He would do his best to help the girl.”
Mo Shangqiu accepted the jade pendant without any hesitation. It was a waste. One look at the jade pendant and one could tell that it was an expensive item. If they were short of money that day, they might even earn a lot of money! Mo Shangqiu was secretly calculating in her heart as she spoke without changing her expression. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master."
Feng Li was very happy to see her accept it, and her expression became much better. If Feng Li knew what Mo Shangqiu was thinking, she would probably vomit blood. "I wonder if Miss Mo has time in three days, so I would like to invite you to the Chrysanthemum Garden to admire the chrysanthemums.”
"Alright." Mo Shangqiu readily agreed to Feng Li's invitation. Anyway, that matter was not urgent. If Mo Shangqiu knew that it was because of her free and easy agreement that her plan was ruined…She had the heart to hang herself.
Seeing Mo Shangqiu agree so readily, Feng Li's heart was filled with joy and her eyes were filled with a smile that would make others jealous. "Alright, I'll send someone here to pick you up three days later.”
Mo Shangqiu thanked Feng Li again, and Feng Li cupped her fists to bid farewell. "Farewell!"
Mo Shangqiu's gaze followed Feng Li as she left. After the two of them left, Mo Shangqiu asked for a clean room. After taking a comfortable bath, he lay on the bed and took a nap. He had been busy traveling these few days and had not rested well. His body was overdrawn today and he needed a good rest.
Xuanlin Country.
Within a tall wall, in a large and magnificent palace. The ground was filled with kneeling women, servants, and imperial physicians, all of them guarding the old emperor of Xuanlin Country's dragon couch. The one kneeling in the lead was precisely the Fifth Prince, Xuan Yuan Yu. Speaking of which, it was strange that this old Emperor of Xuan Lin Nation was about to pass away. The Crown Prince was nowhere to be seen, and the Empress was so angry that she executed batches of servants.
The Empress sent someone to the Crown Prince's Mansion to summon the Crown Prince to the palace to meet the Emperor, but received a report from the servants that the Crown Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded and they could not enter at all. The Crown Prince's housekeeper passed on a message saying that the Crown Prince did not want to see anyone. The Empress was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
After the Empress woke up, she sent someone to invite the Crown Prince into the palace, but it was useless. She still did not see the Crown Prince himself. He sent someone to ask around and only said that the Crown Prince had not left his room for three days. He did not know what he was doing. When the Empress was angry and had nowhere to vent her anger, she used those dog servants to appease her anger. Killing one servant after another could not extinguish the anger in the Empress's heart.
Yangxin Palace Hall was filled with people everywhere. The beautiful concubines could not help but sob softly. It was fine if it was just one cry, but it was different if a group of people were crying and howling. The intermittent sobs struck the eardrums of the people in the hall. The Fifth Prince frowned, clearly having endured it to the limit.
The hands hidden under the loose robes were clenched tightly. They were incomparably furious as they knelt on the ground and cried. Seemingly not aware of the smell of gunpowder in the air, the ladies who were dressed in their best couldn't help but feel sad. If all the concubines in the harem were to squeeze into Yangxin Palace Hall, Yangxin Palace Hall would probably become a brothel in an instant.
Xuan Linyu gave the eunuch beside him a look. The eunuch nodded knowingly and bowed before the concubines. "Ladies, the emperor needs to recuperate. I hope that the niangniang will take care of their health!"
This was Eunuch Liu, the old Emperor's favorite. When he opened his mouth to speak, there were naturally not many people who would refute him. Only then did those concubines stop crying and not dare to disturb the old Emperor who was beyond cure. Xuan Linyu's slightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
After a long time, the sky darkened. When night fell, the people kneeling on the ground could not help but feel their legs go numb, and those pampered concubines could not hold on any longer. He knelt on the ground and allowed the maids to support him.
The old Emperor's eyes were tightly shut on the dragon bed. Only the weak pulse proved that the old Emperor had not died. Xuan Linyu stood up and looked at the crooked concubines. He said," It's getting late, ladies. You should return to your chambers to rest.”
The concubines looked down silently and turned their gazes to the Emperor on the bed. The old Emperor opened his eyes wearily as if he had a premonition and spoke weakly. "All of you can leave!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Only then did the concubines stand up shakily. After kneeling for an entire day, many of their knees had turned purple. When they returned to the palace, they could not get out of bed for a while. Although the concubines were worried on the surface, they could not help but secretly rejoice that they did not have to kneel on the cold ground to suffer.
The concubines left one after another, and the imperial physicians were dismissed from Yangxin Hall. Soon, only Xuan Linyu and Eunuch Liu were left in the originally crowded palace. The old emperor raised his eyes weakly to look at Xuan Linyu. There were tears in her eyes. There were indeed many people who would send them off in their old age. However, there were a few who were sincere.
Don't look at the sad faces of the concubines. They were just afraid that the old emperor would be sent to be buried with them after his death. And was this prince truly sad? The old Emperor felt an unspeakable disappointment in his heart. At this moment, he was extremely envious of ordinary people. At the very least, when they died, their children were sincerely sad and spent their entire lives fighting for the country and protecting it. In the end, she got the position that others envied, but she lost the kinship that everyone had.
The old Emperor slowly closed his eyes, as if he had seen through this mortal world. I'm crazy for the world, I've lost my old friend. The world had to say goodbye, and the weak pulse gradually stabilized. It was so stable that it was difficult to notice that the old emperor had passed away.
"Father. Father!" Xuan Linyu squatted in front of the dragon bed and called out to the old emperor on the bed softly. However, he was met with silence in response.
Xuan Linyu turned back to look at Eunuch Liu behind him. His slightly trembling hand reached out to the old emperor's nose. As expected, the weak aura that was left no longer existed. With a bang, Xuan Linyu knelt on the ground.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Father."
Eunuch Liu saw Xuan Linyu kneeling on the ground and knew that the old emperor had passed away. He shouted at the young eunuch outside the door," His Majesty has passed away!”
With this loud noise, a commotion came from outside the door. The palace maids and eunuchs were in a mess. They all went to inform the Empress and the other concubines. The concubines who had just returned to their chambers had not even sat down when they heard a servant report that the Emperor had passed away. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She ignored the pain in her body and rushed to Yangxin Palace Hall.
When the Empress learned of the Emperor's death, she fainted on the spot. When he woke up, he rushed to Yangxin Palace Hall with the help of the palace maids. By the time the Empress arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs had already helped the old Emperor change his clothes. The old Emperor lay peacefully on his bed. The Empress stepped into Yangxin Palace Hall, pushed aside the palace maids, and strode toward the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The Empress sat on the cold ground, tears streaming down her face. She lay on the dragon couch in despair. She could not believe that the emperor had passed away just like that.
"Empress, my condolences and take care of your body.”Eunuch Liu comforted the Empress in a low voice and wiped his moist eyes.
Heart-nourishing Palace Hall immediately fell into a state of desolation. Everyone waited with sorrow for the old Emperor to complete the last part of his journey. Xuan Linyu lowered his head and knelt there, his eyes filled with tears. When the empress was crying her heart out, she noticed Xuan Linyu kneeling there.
