Long live Emperor Wu!

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Prince Li Shan was in the Liangyi Palace together with the emperor to accept the worship of envoys from various countries. During this period, he saw that Wu Rou looked wrong and went out, which made him worried.

Later, when there was something wrong with Concubine Wei's movements, he became a little panicked and eager to know what was going on.

But the envoys from other countries were talking below, so it would be rude to interrupt him and focus on other things.

He suppressed his irritability and endured it calmly for a long time. Finally, he caught a gap in the middle and sent his chamberlain to ask what was going on.

After a while, the chamberlain came back in a hurry and said that Wang Jieyu and the little prince had jumped into the lake and had just fished him out.

Li Shan was stunned for a moment and asked:
"Is there nothing wrong with you?"

"Back to Your Highness, I heard that nothing happened. It's just that the weather is cold and the little prince has been weak. The imperial doctor said that he might not be able to survive it."

Li Shan thought about it and still wanted to take a look, so he told the emperor about it.

The emperor was obviously tired and could hardly lift his eyelids. When he heard this, he was covering his mouth and yawning. His eyes flashed for a moment, and a trace of anger flashed through him. Then he relaxed and said coldly:

"It's common for children to not grow up well. If it's gone, it means there's no fate. Don't worry about him. I believe the imperial concubine will take care of it."

Li Shan couldn't say anything else, so he could only suppress the matter.

That night he returned to the East Palace. After going to bed at night, he thought that Wu Rou had finally achieved her wish, her eyebrows were smooth and peaceful, and she had been stable for a while. If the child couldn't survive, what would happen to her?
She has always had some extreme cruelty, and this cruelty always shows up when there is a fierce conflict between reality and what she wants.

For example, she would jump off a two-story mountain bank to get away from the Wu brothers.For another example, she once said that no matter how good a horse is, if it cannot be used by her, it should be killed.

Also, in order to get a prince, she could even become Xia Yu's "accomplice" and ignore what she did.

Except for these times, she is usually very good, sensible, capable, knowledgeable, and ambitious. When she gets along with others, she seems to be very close, but she is measured and will not make people feel bored or troubled.

He said she looked like a puffer fish, but he was actually teasing her on purpose.

He didn't like the bluff and ugly things like pufferfish.

He likes cats.

Wu Rou, in his mind, is more like a black cat with sharp claws. A black cat is withdrawn and not as clingy as a dog. It has its own independent world. When it is happy, it will be cute and cute. In your arms, but when I raise my eyes, the deep pupils are aloof and indifferent, revealing mystery...

Li Shan turned over on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He kept asking, if the child died, who would she extend her sharp claws at because of her extreme temperament?

In the morning, he finally couldn't help it, inquired about Wu Rou's location and went to see her.

Before she even reached the door, she saw Wu Rou rushing out in a mess. Her clothes were stained with dried water and were full of wrinkles. Her feet were covered with dried mud. Her hair was messy and her face was red.

She drew the guard's knife, and walked to the other side as if she was going crazy, as if she was looking for someone to risk her life.

Her maidservant chased after her, trying to persuade her, but she almost pushed her down. Seeing this, the guards on duty wanted to stop them, but hesitated to offend, so they could only follow her, half threatening and half warning. advise.

"Get away! Whoever stops me again, I'll kill!" Wu Rou's voice was hoarse, as if a high fever had broken her throat, and she shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ignoring his usual dignified and steady walking habits, he ran after her and stopped in front of her.

Wu Rou raised the knife and saw that it was him. He held it there motionless, his beautiful eyebrows drooped, and his stubborn eyes looked even more pitiful and pitiful when he looked like this.Li Shan looked calm, his heart ached, and there seemed to be blame in his brows, and he said coldly:
"Why are you so crazy? Put down the knife!"

Yan Wei, the guard following the prince, also said:

"Wu Cairen, please put down your sword. Do you want to rebel?"

Wu Rou bit her lip and lowered the tip of the knife, but still held it tightly and did not let go, crying:
"I want to kill her! She killed a child and ruined my future! Can I just pretend to be crazy and act like a fool?! I want her to die! I must want her to die!!!"

She became so fierce that her hoarse voice roared like she was fainting, and she wanted to stamp her feet and swear.

After she finished shouting, she felt that the air in her chest had been sucked out, her head felt dizzy, and she couldn't stand steady.

Seeing this, Li Shan quickly took the knife out of her hand and threw it to Yan Wei next to her.

Seeing that she was swaying, he resisted the urge to pick her up. He used only one hand to pinch her elbow, half holding her and half dragging her. He stiffened and did not dare to come any closer. He was anxious and afraid. He broke the etiquette and said:
"Hurry up and get her back for treatment, don't you see she's already burned out?!"

Only then did Cai Yi realize what she was doing, she went over to pick Wu Rou up on her back and walked back.

Only then did Wu Rou realize that she had a fever, so she had no strength and her heart was beating rapidly.

Before, she always thought that she was angry because of staying up late.

On Cai Yi's back, her consciousness began to blur. Before she fell asleep, she heard the voice of Prince Li Shan say:
"Go and invite Concubine Wei over. I have something to say."

……

When she woke up again, she had returned to Zhaoqing Hall, and there were not only Caiyi and the others, but also Xu Chongrong.

Xu Hui's indifferent and arrogant face looked at her with rare worry and asked:
"Awake? How do you feel?"

Wu Rou asked:
"How did I get back?"

When the voice came out, it was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it belonged to another person.

Xu Hui said:
"The imperial concubine used her sedan chair to drive you back and carry you back."

Wu Rou thought hard, but she had no memory at all.

Xu Chongrong seemed to know what she was thinking, and said:
"You were about to die from the fever. Of course you don't remember anything. You are too stubborn and refuse to listen to any advice. If you had changed your clothes early, would you have been like this?"

When Wu Rou heard this, her hatred for Wang Jieyu rose again, and she was about to speak.

Xu Chongrong said:
"Stop fussing. His Highness the Crown Prince specifically asked the Concubine to ground you, recuperate, and take good care of you. ... You didn't give birth to that child by yourself. Don't make yourself angry to death. It's not worth it."

Wu Rou was stunned for a while, struggling to remember, but found that her hands no longer felt like her own. She felt so empty that she had no choice but to lie back again and said:
"Wang Jieyu is just pretending, she just doesn't want to see me..."

Xu Chongrong stretched out his hand and directed Caiyi to get the medicine and said:
"She is no longer Jieyu, she is just a palace servant. She is being raised like a dog in the shabby room of Yeting Palace. If she is not crazy, wouldn't this punishment be more serious than death?"

Wu Rou's eyes flashed for a moment, and she finally calmed down, lying there silently.
