Everything happened too suddenly.
She was completely caught off guard and did not even have time to finish the half bowl of tocolopy medicine.
"Empress, Empress, Eunuch Liu is here!”Qiao Hui hurriedly ran in from outside. Chang An's eyelids twitched, and his heart suddenly beat rapidly without any order.
Eunuch Liu? At this moment?
"What about the Emperor?"
"Empress, receive the decree-"
Before Qiao Hui could reply, Eunuch Liu's voice rang out.
Only Eunuch Liu? Chang 'an was stunned for a moment, but he still came forward and knelt down to receive the edict. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was somewhat at a loss. That person had not stepped into Chaoyang Hall for many days...
Eunuch Liu's voice interrupted Chang 'an's train of thought. He read the edict calmly, word by word,"
" By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has decreed that the Empress of Chang 'an should be a mother to the world and a role model for women. However, she has not abided by the principles of womanhood and has caused chaos in the palace. I am truly heartbroken. Furthermore, the Prime Minister's upbringing is not proper. As an elder brother, Lin Bingwen has not been able to guide her properly…I hereby demote her to a commoner. However…I will abolish the Empress' position and give her three feet of white silk and a cup of poisoned wine…to correct the palace. I'm honored."
She raised her head slightly, and the sunlight shone in her eyes, forcing a line of clear tears. It was too sudden. The man who had been so affectionate and gentle to her the last time he came back had now issued an imperial edict saying that she was not a woman and wanted to kill her?
"Niangniang, accept the decree?"
Eunuch Liu's sharp voice was filled with disdain!
"No, I can't! This isn't his intention. It must be you! You're faking the imperial edict!"
"Tch-Your Ladyship must be joking, even if this servant was given ten guts, this servant would not dare to pass on a false imperial edict!”
"Nonsense!" Staggering, she wanted to snatch the shining imperial edict, but she almost fell back to the ground when she stood up halfway.
Qiao Hui caught her in time." Be careful! Empress!"
No matter what, it was unbelievable. He did not even feel a warm liquid flowing down his lower body.
"Empress, blood, you're bleeding! Little Prince!"
Qiao Hui suddenly realized something. She turned to look at Eunuch Liu and saw that he was also looking over." Manager Liu, the child in the Empress 'stomach is the little prince. If anything happens, will you be able to bear the responsibility?"”
" This..." Eunuch Liu was still hesitating. However, as the wet area under Chang 'an's feet grew larger, he decided to go back and ask his master for his opinion.
In fact, it did not take long before Qi Muyuan arrived. The woman standing beside him was very beautiful. He knew her from Chang 'an. She was her younger sister.
The two of them looked at her coldly. Their cold eyes, contemptuous expressions, and arrogant actions…She did not understand what these meant. Chang 'an could only keep reminding herself that this man would definitely explain. Things were not as they seemed on the surface.
However, in the next moment, Chang 'an heard him say," What? You don't want to die?"
Chang 'an could feel his loathing gaze lingering on her stomach. She thought she saw hope, but his next sentence sent her straight to hell.""Humph! This child is really as selfish as you! Since this child doesn't want you to drink this poisonous wine, why don't you change the way you die?”
"Mu Yuan…what are you talking about?" She did not understand why the gentle and considerate Mu Yuan would say such ruthless words to her.
The beauty beside him glanced at her contemptuously." Sister is usually so smart and has the upper hand. Why can't you understand such a simple thing now? Did he really not understand or was he pretending not to understand?!”
When the beauty called her sister, Chang 'an realized that she was his half-sister, Lin Changning. Chang 'an was frightened by her sudden raised voice and shivered. He felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He endured the pain and called his sister with a trembling voice.
"Sister? Ha, my good sister, you really make people love and hate you!”Chang Ning gritted her teeth and smiled." At this time, you can still pretend to be so close to your sister?”
Her eyes were filled with hatred, just like a bloodthirsty beast. Chang An suddenly felt a little scared, and her lower body was in pain. She really wanted to find a hug that she could rely on." Mu Yuan…Mu Yuan…Ah no! Qiaohui…"
She wanted him to hug her, but Qi Muyuan's gaze was not only cold but also bloodthirsty, as if he wanted to swallow her alive. He did not come forward, and neither did Qiao Hui. A few guards came in and quickly tied her hands and feet. She couldn't move. She saw Chang Ning holding a knife in his hand as he slowly approached her with a deep smile in his eyes...
The afternoon sun was so bright that it made her sleepy. The sunlight reflected by the blade was too dazzling, making her unable to open her eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
If all the emotions before this moment were just doubt, shock, disappointment, and sadness, Chang 'an now felt fear and terror.
"What are you doing? Hahahaha…isn't my sister going to have a baby? Sister, help me take the child out!”
" What did you say?!" Chang 'an's eyes widened." Changning-Changning-No! Stop! Stop! You can't do this to me!"
The sharp blade slowly sliced through his clothes, lifting them up and then dropping them down again. He felt a chill on his stomach, and then an even deeper chill, as if the chill had entered his heart. It hurt! A sharp dagger had cut open his stomach. So this was what it felt like!
"Child…child!" Don't hurt my child! Chang 'an called out, but no one responded to her.
There was a large gash on his belly, and blood was flowing out. It was steaming hot, and the stench of blood was spreading out. Chang Ning covered his nose in disgust and avoided it.
"So smelly!" She ducked into Qi Muyuan's arms weakly.
This scene was truly dazzling! It was clearly painful, and he could clearly feel his life draining away, but he still had a clear consciousness.
"Men!"
With Qi Muyuan's order, the two midwives walked forward. They came to Chang 'an's side expressionlessly, like two ghosts that had just crawled out of hell. Four dry hands reached into her stomach through the gap in her lower abdomen. Her flesh was pulled, and she felt a heart-wrenching pain.
"Ah, stomach! It hurt! It hurts-it hurts!"
Soon, the child was taken out. The midwife slapped the baby hard. The baby cried loudly and was full of energy. It was a healthy child, probably a boy.
At this moment, it was worse than death! She finally tasted the feeling of heartbreak, but she still had a child. Chang 'an wanted to open her eyes to see her child…but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the old woman handing the child over to Chang Ning!
"No, I can't! Don't give it to her, my child, that's my…child!”
All the strength in his body seemed to have been sucked dry. He wanted to shout and curse, but he had no strength!
She wanted to see the scene in front of her clearly. She wanted to sit up and snatch the child back. However, she could not do anything. The sunlight was also very dazzling. At this moment, Chang 'an felt that the entire world in front of him had become distorted, and his head was a little dizzy.
"A child?" Chang Ning's smile was brighter and more dazzling than the sun." Yes, he's just a child. But, sister, do you still remember my child? The child who died in the womb and did not have the time to see this world? It's all because of you!"
Chang Ning pointed at her, his eyes filled with hatred." If it wasn't for that bowl of abortion medicine you sent over! How could my child die? It's all your fault…You even know how to talk about children now?”
Qi Muyuan pulled Chang Ning into his embrace and comforted her gently. Chang 'an had no more strength left. She slowly closed her eyes, but she was unwilling to give up. She wanted to understand what the abortion medicine she was talking about was. Even if he had to die immediately, he had to die with an understanding!
"Anti-abortion medicine? You…what…are you talking about? Also, you…why?" He was unwilling to swallow his last breath. He wanted to know the reason. He just wanted to understand.
"Why? Why? Can't you see? The person I love is her. Lin Chang 'an, do you still think that I like you? Ha---If you weren't the Prime Minister's daughter, do you think I would let you be the Empress?”
No! The person in front of him was not him! How could he speak to her in such a cold, gloomy, and cruel manner?! It was still that handsome face. She even knew clearly that as long as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, it would make people feel very warm.
"Lin Chang 'an, do you know what you're best at?”
What did Qi Muqing mean? Chang An looked at him in confusion.
"Do you think I'm someone else in disguise?”Qi Muqing's lips curled into a faint smile.
Chang 'an felt like he was struck by lightning, but Qi Muqing ignored him. He sneered and said,""You're deceiving yourself!"
His head was getting dizzy, and he vaguely saw Chang Ning handing the child over to the guards!
"The child…return him to me!"
Chang 'an anxiously and longingly chased after Lin Changning's figure. He turned to look at Qi Muyuan and almost shouted,""Qi Muyuan, that's your child too! How could you just watch like this?"
"Heh-my child? What is your relationship with Third Brother? I'm sure you know better than me!"
What did he mean? What was her relationship with Qi Muqing?
However, what happened next made her lose the mood to ask what it meant. The deafening sound of the child's cry was heard. Something precious was breaking in her chest bit by bit, and the last bit of strength seemed to be running out.
The guard had chopped off one of the child's hands, one of his feet, the other hand, and the other foot. The child, whose eyes had not yet opened, had no eyes now. She had not even had the time to hug him!
"Ah!"
The pain was bone-piercing!
"Sister, don't worry. He'll be fine. Don't you see that he can still eat and drink? He will live on for sister!"
This was a human pig!
"Alright! "It's time to drink this glass of wine." An unfamiliar voice sounded.
The guard pinched his chin and forced the cold liquid into his mouth. He did not even have the strength to cough. Chang An slowly closed his eyes. It was too painful. It was better than death. It was good to sleep like this. He did not have to endure the pain anymore!
Looking up at the sky full of clouds, I don't care about the past or the future. What were you doing that year and today?
"Chang 'an, when I become the emperor in the future, I'll marry you as the empress, okay?”
His young eyes were moving. When he asked if it was good or not, she instantly blushed and was at a loss. At that time, Qi Muyuan was still so gentle and affectionate. At that time, he had hoped for her for the rest of her life.
It wasn't just a day and night, but a whole ten years. Ten years of rising sun and setting moon. Her greatest wish was to be with him for a long time. Her mother had initially advised her that the inner palace wasn't as beautiful as she thought. On the contrary, it was full of schemes and infighting. Moreover, if the Crown Prince became the Emperor in the future, he would definitely have three palaces and six courtyards…Her mother had hoped that she would live a peaceful life.
However, she still insisted on going her own way. He did not expect that his unfilial daughter would end up implicating his father, mother, and brother.
She was too stubborn and did not hesitate to go against her mother's wishes. She was unwilling to marry into the family of a minister, unwilling to marry someone else. She only wanted to be his Crown Princess!
But in the end, in the end…
When she married him, he was still the Crown Prince.
In the past ten years, she had never known that the person he liked, the person who lived in the depths of his heart, was actually someone else. He was too gentle, too good at coaxing her to be happy, and he hid it too deeply. As a result, she did not know anything other than love for him.
But why?
Why did he wait until she had completely fallen for him before telling her that he was doing all this because of her identity and her family? He was only doing it for the power behind her! He loved her sister, her half-sister!
Hahahahaha…What a joke! She had been willful and childish for more than twenty years! Did he hate her? Hate. She hated his deception! He hated her for being sinister!
When he exhausted his last bit of strength, what else did Chang 'an have other than hatred?
