After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 244 He Wants to Use My Death

The teacup hit the floor tiles, the tiles shattered, and the splashed tea stained Empress Jiang's dress.

"Crazy woman..."

Empress Jiang lowered her eyelashes, and slowly repeated the word with her pale lips.

She and Zhou Shuo, a young couple, have shared joys and sorrows for more than 20 years. They never imagined that today, they only got a "crazy woman".

Even though she was completely disappointed with this man, at this moment, those two short words were still like a dagger, piercing deeply into her heart, stirring Ling Chi's flesh and blood, and tearing her heart into pieces. .

Tears soaked eyelashes.

Empress Jiang raised her eyes tremblingly and tried to take a closer look at her husband, but found that the man's face gradually became blurred and confused in her field of vision, and the light and shadow around her also dimmed like a sunset, gradually becoming pitch black.

She was stunned.

She reached out tremblingly and stroked her eyes——

But touched a viscous liquid.

Prince Kang stood up in surprise, pointed at Empress Jiang and said, "Look in her eyes, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Shuo looked impatiently.

The woman kneeling on the ground was covered in blood, and two lines of blood and tears kept rolling down from her eye sockets. She opened her eyes, but her pupils couldn't focus, and her hands were groping in the air restlessly, obviously unable to see.

"Jiang Keyi?!"

Zhou Shuo gritted his teeth.

Empress Jiang was in a daze, and her face became more and more sallow and haggard.

All sounds are going away.

She was top-heavy, and in a moment, she completely fainted in the imperial study room.

Zhou Shuo flicked his sleeves: "It's really bad luck!"

Although she hated it, Jiang Keyi was the queen after all, so Zhou Shuo had no choice but to order the palace staff to send her back to Minghua Palace and invite the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment.

The sun has set.

The last bit of bleak sunlight fell from the corners of the green glazed eaves, and as the maids lit palace lanterns, the autumn rain fell all over the sky.

In Minghua Palace, most of the medical staff from the imperial hospital rushed over to check Empress Jiang's pulse. Some read medical books on the spot, and some whispered by the dim candlelight. But they all twirled their beards and sighed and shook their heads.

Zhou Shuo was impatient: "What happened to her?!"

The judge of the Supreme Hospital saluted respectfully, and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, your majesty is because of excessive sadness and worry. Your majesty cried day and night for the abolition of the crown prince, so that her eyes were bleeding. Recently, It seems that because of the excessive fright, I often fear heart palpitations and find it difficult to sleep, so my mind is completely broken. Rare medicinal materials such as ginseng can nourish the body, but they can't mend the heart of the empress!"

"Joke!" Zhou Shuo sneered, "She is a queen, she is under one person and above ten thousand people, and she is well-clothed and well-fed. Who in the world can scare her too much?! If you want to complain, blame her for thinking wildly all day long, and being harassed by that ineffective person. The entanglement of the evil beasts caused today's situation!"

The elderly judge did not dare to say much, bowed his head and said yes in a submissive manner.

Zhou Shuo glanced at the unconscious woman in the curtain, waved his hand to fend off the other medical workers, and asked in a deep voice, "How long can she live?"

Trembling, the court judge knelt down on his knees and put his head on the ground, and said sincerely: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has injured her body in the early years, and she has not made up for it in these years. The phoenix body is already at the end of its strength. It's only been a few days! Your Majesty can arrange the funeral for your empress."

"One or two days?" Zhou Shuo squinted his eyes, "How is one or two days enough? Go get the most expensive ginseng from the Imperial Hospital and hang it. No matter what, I will delay it for half a month."

"Half...half a month?!" The court judge was surprised, "Forcibly renewing my life, I am afraid that the empress herself will suffer unbearably, like a living dead!"

Zhou Shuo glanced at him: "Are you my man or the queen's man? Do whatever I tell you to do, don't bother me."

He just walked away.

It was raining outside the hall at night.

Prince Kang waited respectfully under the verandah, and when he saw him coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, "I wonder how the empress's phoenix body is?"

"I'm about to die." Zhou Shuo said impatiently, "When is not good to die, I chose this time. But don't worry, Uncle Huang, since I am determined to marry you and Wei Zi, I will naturally fulfill my promise. Sleepless nights and long dreams, as long as delay As long as the Empress is not dead, people in the world don't have to observe the national funeral for her for three months, and I can arrange for you to get married as soon as possible within a few days."

"Bringing up the marriage..." Lord Kang hesitated, "Your Majesty, I am 37 years old this year. I heard that the young lady Wei is just like a flower, and my daughter is also this old. Is this marriage... inappropriate?"

"Although she is young, she has been married before, and being the emperor's continuation does not mean that she has been dismissed. Otherwise, she is a married woman who still wants to marry my son?!" Zhou Shuo's eyes showed cruelty. Angrily, "The Duke of Zhenguo is suspected of betraying me. The emperor knows that I hate betrayers the most in my life. I give you a marriage. It is not only to fulfill the marriage of the emperor, but also to beat Wei Ling. His jewel in the palm is in our hands." , he won't do stupid things anymore."

The rain and steam filled the air, and it was cold and bone-chilling.

Several palace lanterns hanging under the eaves emitted a pale halo.

The Son of Heaven stood with his hands behind his back, the gloomy and violent lingering around him was worse than the night.

Kang Wang shivered.

He lowered his head, not daring to disobey this nephew who killed thirteen brothers more than 20 years ago, and respectfully said: "My minister, take orders!"

After Zhou Shuo and King Kang left, a little maid came out from the flowers outside the veranda tremblingly, drenched all over.

She came out to pour the medicine residue for the empress, accidentally slipped and fell into the dark flowers, and she did not expect to hear this conversation.

She timidly looked at the direction where the two disappeared, her lips moved, and she walked into the inner hall with sobs: "Your Majesty..."

The people in the imperial hospital were all gone, and only Empress Jiang and a few confidants remained in the inner hall.

Little Gong'e knelt down in front of the bed, crying in fear.

A big court lady scolded: "Your Majesty has become so ill, why are you making trouble?!"

The little Gong'e raised her pale face, and her crow-green hair, which had been wet by the rain, was pressed against her cheeks.

She sobbed: "Sister, I just heard that His Majesty is going to marry Lord Kang and Miss Wei. His Majesty ordered the Imperial Hospital to find a way to prolong the life of the empress. Get married with Miss Wei early..."

Thunder exploded outside the hall.

The fire and candles in the hall are bright and dark.

In the tent, Empress Jiang who woke up heard what little Gong'e said, and opened her weak eyes reluctantly.

She struggled to sit up, but couldn't see anything.

She reached out and groped around in the curtain, but was supported by crying ladies.

Empress Jiang's heart was torn apart, two lines of blood and tears flowed down again, her voice trembled violently: "Thanks to me being his first wife, thanks to my being his first wife! What young couples, what sharing weal and woe, are all lies! Zhou Shuo , Zhou Shuo, you are worthy of me, you are worthy of my beginning!"

"Miss!"

The maids cried and knelt down on the ground.

Empress Jiang vomited a mouthful of blood.

She opened her eyes filled with blood, and the corners of her pale lips slowly curled up in a hateful arc: "Through the matter, he even wants to use my death, and I won't let him succeed...I won't let him succeed... ..."
