Concubine Xue looked at Jiang Wu with complicated eyes. Jiang Wu looked at Concubine Xue and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

"It seems that something is not right about your state. Has the imperial doctor come to see you?"

Jiang Wu asked, her eyes full of worry.

"The imperial doctor came to see me. He said that my illness needs to be treated slowly, but there is no way to cure it, but he can guarantee that I will not die."

Xue Fei said calmly.

"But if you are like this now, won't you only live a few years?"

Jiang Wu frowned, she knew that Concubine Xue was not a person who was willing to be lonely, nor did she like beauty like other women, nor did she like to endure hardship.

"I really want to live an ordinary life, but my identity is destined. I can only be a concubine in this life."

Concubine Xue smiled sadly, looking at her withered hands, her heart filled with sadness.

"Have you ever regretted it?"

Jiang Wu was silent for a moment and asked.

"I have nothing to regret. I am content to be an ordinary woman."

After Xuefei finished speaking, she suddenly coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Xue Fei, stop talking and take good care of yourself!"

Jiang Wu felt very uncomfortable. This was the first time she faced a fate that she could not change, but she was helpless.

At this time, she really wished she could become like Concubine Xue, but it was a pity that she couldn't do it.

"it is good."

Xue Fei nodded and closed her eyes.

"You rest first!"

Jiang Wu was worried about Concubine Xue and hurriedly called her. Physician Song took another look and saw that Concubine Xue was already asleep, so she led Physician Song to the corner.

"Mr. Song, tell the truth, what happened to Concubine Xue?"

"Back to the county master, Concubine Xue, it's because of a stagnation in your heart!"

"Knot?"

Jiang Wu frowned. She had never heard Concubine Xue mention her past.

"Yes, it's because of heart disease."

Imperial Physician Song pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "According to my speculation, Concubine Xue once loved a man deeply, but then the man abandoned her, and she was heartbroken in the end."

Naturally, everything is just speculation.

"What can we do?"

Jiang Wu couldn't just watch her getting sicker and sicker without being able to do anything.

"This kind of thing is not something I can solve. I can only rely on Concubine Xue!"

After the Imperial Physician Song finished speaking, he bowed his hands and left.

"hateful!"

Jiang Wu punched the table angrily, with blazing fire in her eyes.

"County Lord, don't be too sad!"

Fangrong comforted her, saying that she was afraid that the county lord would be angry and hurt her body.

"Fang Rong, ask a few more people to guard near Chuxiu Palace and don't let anyone get close to Concubine Xue."

"clear."

Fangrong can understand Jiang Wu's good intentions.

At night, Chuxiu Palace was still bright, and Concubine Xue was always thinking about Shen Fu.

Shen Fu's portrait kept appearing in front of his eyes, but he seemed unable to touch it.

"Miss!"

The personal maid walked in and was about to put out the candle, and found that Xue Fei was lying on the bed without breathing. She suddenly panicked and shouted.

After hearing this, the other palace maids rushed to check and found that Concubine Xue was dead, and their faces turned pale.

"My queen! My queen! Wake up, my queen!"

The maids gathered around Concubine Xue and cried bitterly, their cries deafening.

"Here comes Doctor Xuan!"

"Yes!"

All the palace maids ran out to summon the imperial doctor.

Jiang Wu also came.

"The Emperor is here!"

The maids immediately knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, not daring to raise their heads to look at the furious emperor.

"How could this happen!?" "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is dead."

The palace maid said tremblingly.

"How do you serve Concubine Xue?"

The emperor kicked over the table in front of him, causing all the palace ladies to tremble and kowtow in fright.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life! I deserve to die. I know my mistake."

"Someone, drag her out and chop her!"

The emperor was furious, and Jiang Wu appeared at the critical moment.

"The emperor calm down."

Jiang Wu stepped forward to rescue her and said: "Concubine Xue died of depression, and it is difficult to cure her with medicine or stone."

The emperor glanced at the maids on the ground, glared at Jiang Wu, snorted coldly, and said: "For the sake of the county lord, I will not hold you accountable!"

The palace ladies all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Wu gratefully.

The emperor flicked his sleeves and turned away, leaving Jiang Wu and the maids standing there, all in silence, not daring to breathe.

Jiang Wu sighed, gave Fan Rong some instructions, and then left Chuxiu Palace with Fan Rong.

"County Lord, your Majesty won't find anything, right?"

Fang Rong was worried. After all, they had found a scapegoat, and it was not Concubine Xue at all.

But a few days ago, a palace maid contracted tuberculosis and died.

Jiang Wu drew a new face and pasted it on the palace maid's face.None of the personal maids noticed anything strange.

Because the emperor had a grudge against Concubine Xue, he did not step forward to check.

If you look carefully, you will definitely find clues.

"Don't make this matter public. Bring the person back to the Duke's Mansion first!"

"County Lord! Do you really want to take it back to the Duke's Mansion?"

"Yes! This matter is related to the Duke's Mansion and me. If we don't find out as soon as possible, the Duke's Mansion will be involved in many things. Moreover, I am also afraid that Concubine Xue's condition will worsen."

"Yes, magistrate!"

Fangrong nodded and led people to escort the maid back to the Duke's Mansion.

"You guys, all go back with the county leader."

"Yes."

Guogong Mansion.

Xueer opened her eyes and saw the antique room.

The layout of the room is simple but graceful and elegant. It looks like a boudoir where an ancient noble lady lived. A faint scent of sandalwood comes to your nostrils.

Xue Fei struggled to get up, but was unable to do so and lay back down again.

Xue'er turned her head and saw Jiang Wu sitting beside her.

When she saw Xue'er open her eyes, she quickly ran to the bed and held Xue'er's hand excitedly.

"You finally woke up? Emperor Tian has paid off!"

Jiang Wu cried with joy, feeling happy for Xue Fei's rebirth.

"Where is this place?"

Xue Fei looked around confusedly.

She thought she was already in hell.

"Guo Gong's Mansion, don't worry. I'll transfer you out in two days and go to a medical clinic under my command. I guarantee that no one will find out."

Jiang Wu did this for safety reasons.

After all, no one dares to search the Duke's mansion casually.

"You saved me, but why did you take me out of the palace? If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely implicate the Duke's palace!"

Xueer felt ashamed.

He didn't want to embarrass Jiang Wu because of himself.

"Don't worry, since I have decided to take you out of the palace, I have already thought of a way out, and I won't let anyone find out about this!"

Jiang Wu looked at Xue'er with determination on her face.

Perhaps because they were both women, Jiang Wu showed great empathy.

"Is he here?"

Jiang Wu knew that she was asking Shen Fu.

"During this period, he is not in the house because he has more important things to be busy with."
