Chapter 45:
"Eunuch Shen, what do you think happened to zhen?”Xuanyuan Che put down the cinnabar pen in his hand. Today, she seemed to be thinking about a certain person. That pale face that she had been secretly looking at for the past two days filled her mind.
"Emperor, this old servant watched you grow up. Actually, why was the emperor unwilling to face his heart?”Eunuch Shen stood behind Xuanyuan Che and sighed.
These two people just like to torture each other, but the emperor probably really hurt the empress…especially that child…
" Heart?" Xuanyuan Che placed his hand on his chest. Did he have one? She had once asked him if he had a heart, and his answer was…he had died a long time ago…
Eunuch Shen looked at Xuanyuan Che. His heart had always ached for this child, even after he had ascended the throne. Back then, his mother had hurt him too much. From then on, he did not dare to let anyone see his heart clearly…
"Emperor, Consort Li's matter…you've forgotten it. It's been so long, it's time to let it go…"
"Eunuch Shen! Isn't this matter not allowed to be mentioned again?" Xuanyuan Che's expression changed instantly. Why did Eunuch Shen also want to open up his own scars?
"This old servant has crossed the line."
"Forget it." Xuanyuan Che walked to the window. He remembered that she had been sitting by the window these past few days…What was there to see here?
Eunuch Shen sighed. He didn't look like the Emperor at all…King Jing was imprisoned in the Prince's mansion, the Emperor was absent-minded all day, and the Empress was suffering…These three people…Sigh…King Jing was probably the same as the Emperor…
"Your Majesty!" A guard stumbled into the royal study.
"How dare you!"What?" Eunuch Shen glared at the guard and said in a deep voice. The main reason was that the emperor was in a bad mood. He was purely saving this person!
"I deserve to die! It's just that something happened to Phoenix Palace!" The guard cupped his fists and said fearlessly.
"What?!" Xuanyuan Che hurriedly turned around and grabbed the guard kneeling on the ground," Speak! What happened to Phoenix Palace?"
Xuanyuan Che's powerful aura made it hard for the guard to breathe. Still stuttering, she said," I heard…the Empress…the Empress…"
Xuanyuan Che frowned. F * ck! If this continued! No matter what happened, it was too late! Throwing the person in his hand down, he turned around and ran towards the Phoenix Palace. Wan 'er... Nothing can happen to her...
Eunuch Shen glanced at the guard who had vomited blood from the fall. He pursed his lips and checked his meridians. Sigh…Another guard was crippled…He still took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to the guard." Let's recuperate first…"
Then, he flew in the direction Xuanyuan Che had left.
When Xuanyuan Che arrived at Phoenix Palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs had their heads lowered.
"Speak! Where did the Empress go!" Xuanyuan Che roared.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Ever since the Empress gave birth, the Emperor had not stepped into the Phoenix Palace. Everyone thought that the Empress had lost her favor…so they did not care about the Empress at all. Moreover, the Empress had never liked them to serve her and only got close to Ying 'er and Xiao Die. After Ying' er left, the Empress became even more silent and even expressed obvious disgust towards their approach…
"Speak!" Xuanyuan Che pulled over a eunuch in the middle. Other than anxiety on his face, he had the urge to kill!
" I…I don't know…" The young eunuch was so frightened that his legs went weak. He even sounded like he was about to cry.
Xuanyuan Che was even angrier. Her people actually didn't know where she went! He looked around and his brows furrowed even more…Ying 'er and Xiao Die were gone? The two people closest to her were gone…The first thought that flashed through her mind was that she had left…
Anger had almost taken control of his thoughts. His head felt like it was stuck and he could not move it…
Eunuch Shen finally arrived. Looking at the group of people waiting, he hesitated for a moment and still felt that it was very unreliable to leave this matter to the current Emperor…
"When was the last time you saw the Empress?" Eunuch Shen paid attention to everyone's expression and waited for an answer.
Xuanyuan Che didn't say anything either. Perhaps he felt that it wasn't the right time for him to speak, because he felt that if anyone provoked him, he would destroy the entire Phoenix Perch Palace…
Eunuch Shen narrowed his eyes. There was indeed something wrong with the gaze of a little girl. He pointed at the little palace maid." You, come out!”
The little palace maid trembled as she walked out. Her head hung low and her body began to tremble. The anger that the Emperor had just emitted had already frightened her to the point of jumping up and down. Now, the Emperor's favorite, Eunuch Shen, was asking her to step out in front of the Emperor…
"When was the last time you saw the Empress?”Eunuch Shen glanced at her and asked casually.
The little palace maid carefully glanced at Xuanyuan Che, then at Eunuch Shen. Finally, she clenched her fists and said,""This servant saw the Empress this morning. It seems that the Empress brought Xiao Die back after that. Then, he left with two people dressed like eunuchs…"
Xuanyuan Che and Eunuch Shen both frowned. Eunuch Shen was still relatively calm and tried his best to be friendly as he asked the palace maid,""Where is Xiao Die now?"
The palace maid pointed at Chen Lin's room.”
Xuanyuan Che rushed in without hesitation and kicked the door open. He saw Little Butterfly struggling to get up from Chen Lin's bed. When she saw Xuanyuan Che, she wanted to see her life-saving straw. She ignored the pain on her body and lifted the blanket, crawling on the ground and preparing to crawl towards Xuanyuan Che…
Xuanyuan Che was also impatient. He grabbed Little Butterfly," Where's Ouyang Wan?!"？”
Eunuch Shen was shocked by the scene as soon as he entered. Xiao Die was obviously still injured. If the emperor was not careful, he would lose his life! Why would the emperor's self-control crumble when it came to the niangniang?
"Your Majesty! Emperor! Let me ask!" Eunuch Shen quickly took the sobbing Little Butterfly from Xuanyuan Che's hands.
The tentacle was indeed scalding hot. Not only did he raise his eyebrows, but he also put his hand on Little Butterfly's wrist. He was about to lose half his life?
"Eunuch Shen! I'm here to find Ouyang Wan! I'm not here to see you treat your illness!" Xuanyuan Che was anxious. He had noticed something strange about her when he touched Little Butterfly, but it had nothing to do with him!
" Your Majesty…cough cough…save…save sister…" Little Butterfly finally calmed down. She endured the pain in her throat and tried her best to speak words that Xuanyuan Che could understand.
The other two were stunned. Was the sister she was talking about…Ouyang Wan?
" What's wrong with her?!" Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but explode. Why did this person's words make him so anxious?
Eunuch Shen held onto Xiao Die's back and also stared at Xiao Die with a death stare. He also liked that little girl, the Empress, very much. Naturally, he did not wish for anything to happen to her…
Xiao Die tried to speak several times, but she couldn't make a sound. She remembered that her head was covered in sweat. The two of them were also staring at her, making her even more anxious.
Gritting her teeth, she bit her finger and endured the pain to write the word 'Hui' on the ground. She used all her strength to write this word. After finishing the last stroke, he fainted again.
Xuanyuan Che sucked in a breath. Consort Hui? He turned around and hurriedly ran towards Lanling Palace.
Eunuch Shen shook his head again and carried Little Butterfly to the bed. It seemed that the Empress had helped this girl deal with it…The Emperor's current state really didn't look like an Emperor…He instructed the people from Phoenix Palace to take care of Little Butterfly and then quickly went to chase Xuanyuan Che. It was as if he had returned to his childhood. The mischievous little prince was always running everywhere, and he would chase after him everywhere…Now that the Emperor had the world under his control, he thought that such a scene would never happen again. However, he did not expect that such a scene would appear again for the Empress…
"Tan Hui 'er! Get out here!" Xuanyuan Che started shouting the moment he arrived at Lanling Palace. His heart was in a mess, as if he would lose everything if he was a little late…
" Why is the Emperor here?" Concubine Hui walked out of the palace, still graceful and graceful. She bent down and bowed to Xuanyuan Che,""Greetings, Emperor."
He then instructed the person beside him," Go and help the Emperor brew tea!”
Xuanyuan Che tried his best to suppress the urge to kill Consort Hui with a slap. He suppressed his voice and said," You only need to tell me! Ouyang Wan! Where is it?"
A glint of malice flashed across Consort Hui's eyes, but she immediately put on a smile." Empress? Isn't the Empress…"
Xuanyuan Che grabbed Consort Hui's neck without any mercy. His purple eyes were filled with an unprecedented storm," You know! Ouyang Wan, Nangong Jingwan, Wan Er! Tell me, where is she?"
Xuanyuan Che spat out the last few words through gritted teeth.
" Your Majesty…you…you're hurting me…" Consort Hui's breathing became labored. She kept trying to break Xuanyuan Che's hand, but to no avail.
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Shen rushed over and immediately stopped him. If she was a step later, Consort Hui would have died under Xuanyuan Che's hands…
Xuanyuan Che let go of her and allowed Consort Hui to fall at his feet.
"Emperor, after so many years of husband and wife's friendship, is it still unable to compare to Ouyang Wan who has been here for less than half a year?”Consort Hui's throat was still a little uncomfortable. Her voice was not as pleasant as usual, but her words were full of sadness.
"You were never worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as her!”
Concubine Hui looked at him with tears in her eyes. The husband she once thought of, the one she loved…She suddenly felt that she was ridiculous. All these years, she had been scheming every moment and ruined all her youth. She was afraid that he would leave her side, but she never thought that he would never be by her side…
" She's in the backyard." Concubine Hui said calmly as if it had nothing to do with her.
The backyard? Xuanyuan Che's brain went blank. Did she say it was outdoors? It was still snowing outside…She had just aborted…
"You better pray that she's fine!"
After saying this, Xuanyuan Che ran away.
Even though he thought of her miserable state, his heart still couldn't help but stop beating after seeing it with his own eyes.
Was that woman in a white shirt, with messy hair and wet clothes really Ouyang Wan? That peerless person?
She was almost trembling as she approached. Compared to the fear she had when she was assassinated that day, this was more flustered and nervous.
As he got closer, Xuanyuan Che's heart ached. He couldn't stop it no matter what. He touched the unconscious person with trembling hands. His white clothes were actually stained with blood. The hairpin was still tightly gripped in his hand. His fingers turned from normal white to snow white, truly as white as snow. His face was the same. Even if she was placed in the snow, other than her dazzling black hair, she still looked like a human…What made Xuanyuan Che even more terrified was that this woman didn't have any warmth at all. She was as stiff as ice.
"Wan 'er…Wan' er?" It's alright…it's alright…it'll be fine…" Xuanyuan Che's voice actually sounded like he was about to cry. Ouyang Wan was so scary like this. He couldn't feel any signs of life from her body.
When Eunuch Shen saw this, he was also shocked. He had probably been kneeling in the snow since morning, right?
Xuanyuan Che took off his coat and wrapped Chen Lin's small body tightly inside, trying to give her warmth. However, no matter how Xuanyuan Che covered her, Chen Lin's body was still frighteningly cold.
"Emperor, the carriage is outside. Quickly bring niangniang back. Before Eunuch Shen followed her to Lanling Palace, he had someone prepare a carriage. His intuition told him that something big might have happened to the Empress…As expected…
Yes, Wan 'er couldn't be exposed to the wind now. Xuanyuan Che tightened his grip on the person in his arms. Only then did he realize that she had lost a lot of weight. She was almost left with bones…His hands could even circle around her twice…
After carrying Chen Lin into the carriage, Xuanyuan Che kept breathing on Chen Lin's hand and kept rubbing his face against Chen Lin's face. However, no matter what he did, Chen Lin still lay there quietly. She did not move and was lifeless…as if…she was dead…
Xuanyuan Che had never let Eunuch Shen take his pulse. He was afraid…afraid that the result would not be what he wanted…
" Wan 'er, don't let anything happen to you, okay…I beg you…" Xuanyuan Che's head pressed against Chen Lin's chest as he begged in a hoarse voice…
The Phoenix Nest Palace was deathly silent. Ever since the Emperor carried the Empress into the room, he had not come out. Following the Emperor's expression, everyone's hearts tightened. Although the Empress was usually not close to them, the Empress was indeed a rare good master.
" Emperor, let me take your pulse." Eunuch Shen looked at Xuanyuan Che, who was hugging Chen Lin and refusing to move. He was a little anxious. If this continued, even if the Empress could still be saved, she would be dragged out by the Emperor until she was beyond saving…
"Eunuch Shen, she's still alive, right?" Xuanyuan Che asked weakly.
Eunuch Shen did not answer because she was not confident at all. With the Empress's weak body, and the fact that she had just had a miscarriage and was splashed with cold water and knelt in the snow for nearly four hours…it was definitely a miracle that she was still alive! If not…it was normal…
