my awesome king

Chapter 86

It was just a light touch, obviously not the first time to kiss, but it still made Mu Shuiqing's heart pounding like a deer. The soft kiss touched his forehead, eyes, and cheeks like a feather, and finally landed on his lips again.After half a stick of incense, the two people parted with blushing and panting.

Ji Xiaomo said in a low voice, "I'm leaving."

"Well. Take care."

When the door of Shuge's secret passage was closed, Ji Xiaomo whispered to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, she has a bad temper, she likes to be brave, she always likes to do silly things, you remember to protect her...and... Child... must not let others bully her..."

Later, after the man with loose black hair, unable to see his face clearly, bent over and coughing vigorously came out of the bookstore, Mu Shuiqing stepped forward slowly, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, my concubine told you that you are not in good health, how can you return?" Go to the bookstore to read, now, let me help you go back to your room to rest..."

Following Ji Xiaomo's instructions before he left, Mu Shuiqing never left the house after he left.Even though her heart is itchy, she also knows that it is extremely dangerous outside, and she is pregnant, so it is better to be careful at home.Especially the invitations from the palace, sometimes it is a flower viewing banquet, and sometimes it is the birthday of the imperial concubine or empress, which is obviously to let her go into the mouth of a tiger.

However, on the tenth day after Ji Xiaomo left, the palace sent someone - the queen mother was critically ill, and hoped that the seventh prince and Princess Mu could come to the palace.

Mu Shuiqing was shocked.After several days of conditioning with the medicinal diet, the Queen Mother felt refreshed.She felt that although tuberculosis was an incurable disease in ancient times, as long as she maintained a good mood through her medicinal diet, it would be no problem to live for another three to five years.The Empress Dowager wanted to hold her grandson wholeheartedly, so she has been actively treating her recently.Not only did he have a big appetite, but he also obediently drank the bitter medicine that he didn't like all the time.How could he suddenly die? !
Mu Shuiqing was afraid that this was the reason why Ji Hangyuan had nothing to do to invite her into the palace. After all, when Steward Mo passed on his news in recent days, she had evaded it because of physical discomfort and severe embarrassment.Now whether to enter the palace, or not to enter the palace? !

Just when Mu Shuiqing was hesitating, another person was sent from the palace—the Queen Mother was dying to ask the Seventh Prince and Princess Mu to meet for the last time.

The person who came this time was Chen Nai, the maid next to the Empress Dowager. She said this, weeping bitterly, sobbing and begging Mu Shuiqing to enter the palace.

Mu Shuiqing's face suddenly turned pale.Although she has only been with the queen mother for more than ten days, she really regards her as her biological mother. She treats her intimately and cares about her everywhere. This is the maternal love that Mu Shuiqing has not received for a long time.Such a great mother is now critically ill, and she is actually procrastinating because she is afraid of entering the palace!
"The imperial physicians all said that the medicine stone is ineffective, but now they are chanting the name of the princess... so the slaves couldn't help but come out of the palace to look for the princess. Princess, save the empress dowager... She was obviously in good health last night..."

Mu Shuiqing hastily rushed into the palace, Ji Hangyuan was still in the morning court and not in Chen Rong's bedroom.When she was turning the corner, she accidentally collided with someone.

"Ouch!" The other party screamed, and her tender body suddenly fell to the ground.

Mu Shuiqing didn't see who hit her at all, she only knew that she wanted to see Chen Rong as soon as possible and stabilize her condition as soon as possible, so when she was knocked down by someone, she fell to the ground.She bit her lip to endure the pain, clutched her stomach and pushed open the heavy door.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and an imperial physician was sitting beside the bed, seeing Mu Shuiqing enter the room, he said: "Wanfu, my concubine."

Mu Shuiqing didn't care to see who it was, she sprained her ankle when she was hit just now and knocked off a shoe, she limped towards the bed.

She saw the woman lying quietly on the bed at a glance, she didn't greet with a smile, "Shuiqing, you came to see me again." She didn't ramble about the naughty things about her Qi'er, now this The empress dowager, who is richer than any woman in the world, just lay quietly, as if she was asleep.

Mu Shui calmed down: Maybe he just drank the medicine and fell asleep.

"Mother, the water is clear."

She took Chen Rong's pulse, but found that Chen Rong's body had been cold for a long time...

Maybe it's because I'm not feeling well, that's why I'm so cold...

Mu Shuiqing touched the other's cool cheek, but the sleeping person still didn't respond, and her eye sockets suddenly became wet.

She trembled her lips and said: "Mother, don't you want to wait for your grandchildren? Why can't you wait for them to leave... They are waiting for you to bring them up, and you said that you will knit the clothes for Xiaomo by yourself Clothes for the children, how can you not keep your promise... Xiao Mo...he...he..." Xiao Mo is out now, and he can't even come back to see you off for the last time.If he knew you would pass away like this, I don't know how sad it would be...

Before Mu Shuiqing could finish his choked words, there was a sudden burst of heart-piercing screams from the door.She raised her head in confusion, and saw Li Yanshan slumped on the ground clutching her abdomen. Her face was extremely pale, her eyebrows were raised in pain, and there was a big puddle of greasy blood under her body.And the strong bloody smell diffused into his nose, causing Mu Shuiqing to cough lightly.

The person she knocked over just now was Li Yanshan?Mu Shuiqing was thinking worriedly and anxiously, she was about to give birth, so now that there was so much blood under her body, wouldn't it be possible for her to knock her down and give birth?
Mu Shuiqing approached nervously, trying to help her up.

"Imperial concubine!" The imperial physician ran up in a panic and squeezed Mu Shuiqing away. At this moment, Li Yanshan's shrill cry became louder and louder. The imperial physician quickly hugged her onto the couch, and blood slowly flowed down Li Yanshan's white legs. , Shocking, she had already fainted from the pain.The imperial doctor said anxiously: "Princess, please inform Your Majesty and Po Wen!"

Mu Shuiqing ran out anxiously, trying to find a court lady to call someone, but she couldn't find one.At this time, she saw Ji Hengyuan leading the crowd coming in a mighty way.After all, a woman's pregnancy and childbirth are a major event, so she put aside her scruples and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, your empress is about to give birth. It's not too late, please hurry up!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial physician walked out of the room in fear, knelt in front of Ji Hengyuan and said, "My Majesty, the imperial concubine has had a miscarriage...it is a dead baby..."

He shook his hands and opened the quilt he was holding in his hands, and opened a corner slightly, revealing a pale little face, half of which was wrinkled and covered with blood, it was too horrible to look at.

Looking at it like this, Mu Shuiqing only felt a slight pain in his abdomen.She couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm down the ups and downs of guilt in her heart.

Ji Hengyuan suffocated for breath, his whole face was so pale.At the age of 15, he had a maid who warmed the bed and took in two concubines. At the age of 20, he had a son who unfortunately died at the age of one. When she became a concubine at the age of 23, a nobleman was pregnant at that time, but unfortunately had a miscarriage when she was three months pregnant, and eventually died of weakness.Later, there was no good news in the harem, and now...

The imperial doctor said sadly again: "The minister arrived very late, the queen mother has passed away."

Ji Hengyuan staggered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily, "What's going on!"

outside Beijing.

Ji Xiaomo walked halfway, when he suddenly heard a ding-dong sound behind him, he turned around and saw Mu Shuiqing's Bu Yao slipping down his sleeve to the ground at some point.Ji Xiaomo picked it up and still put it in his most intimate place, but he was a little worried.

Sitting on the couch, Li Yanshan's face was pale and frightening, her originally seductive almond eyes were full of grievance and pain at the moment, she burst into tears when she saw Ji Hengyuan entering the room, her delicate and beautiful facial features were full of sad tears, and her eyes were even more lifeless.

"Your Majesty..." Her thin and slender body trembled slightly, and the painful and desperate face made people feel a desire to protect.

"What's going on?" Ji Hengyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a calm voice.

Seeing Mu Shuiqing behind Ji Hengyuan, his dull eyes suddenly lit up.Li Yanshan looked at Mu Shuiqing and shook her head helplessly, and whispered softly: "No, don't come here...don't push me..."

"What did you say?" Mu Shuiqing didn't hear clearly, so he took a step closer.Unexpectedly, a fierce palm wind came whistling, and slapped her face heavily.

Mu Shuiqing never thought that the concubine, who has always been good-looking and had just had a miscarriage, would slap herself in public, so she was completely unprepared, and received a hard slap on the right cheek, and staggered a few steps before standing still.

Mu Shuiqing covered his right face, obviously stunned by the beating.She originally thought that Li Yanshan was blaming her for causing her miscarriage, so she vented her anger and hit her, but she heard Li Yanshan said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine came to visit the queen mother today, but Mu Shuiqing escaped from the palace in a hurry." Pointing to the eye-catching shoe prints on the blood-stained white clothes, she cried, "The concubine was in pain on the bed after seeing her mother. He kicked the concubine hard in the abdomen."

"The concubine's nine-month-old son..." Li Yanshan said hysterically, her eyes were wet again, "Just like this, she was killed by this vicious woman before she was born..."

As she spoke, she pulled Ji Hengyuan's sleeves, and cried, "Your Majesty, you must decide for your concubine and the unborn emperor! You must avenge your mother! Recently, the mother's complexion has improved a lot. How could she suddenly be critically ill! There must be something else hidden in it! Maybe she prescribes some kind of medicine for the queen mother indiscriminately, causing the queen mother to go back with a crane, and she fled in a hurry because she was afraid of being convicted..."

The eardrums were beaten and buzzed. This kind of strength is not like that of a woman who just gave birth. Mu Shuiqing's head was swollen with pain, and her eyes were filled with mist, but she bit her lip, trying to resist the pain. He exhaled in pain.Before, she was devastated and helpless because of the Queen Mother's death, and she blamed herself and felt guilty for bumping into Li Yanshan by mistake and causing her miscarriage.

Now, the pain on the cheek made Mu Shuiqing, who was in a state of confusion, calm down instantly. She listened to Li Yanshan's upside-down, swallowed the bloodshot from her throat, stiffened the corners of her mouth, and said word by word: "Tell me, why did I want to kill my mother?" ?”
