Tyrant's Consort Too Arrogant

The lover walked slowly, stopping and stopping, moving and stopping, with small steps and an extremely leisurely posture.

Yi Jian didn't dare to urge him and just followed suit, step by step.

After an unknown amount of time, after a short distance, she finally stood in front of Yi Mansion's gate.

The mansion of the wealthiest man in the Sky Dynasty was naturally vast, and couldn't fit the bill. It was full of the feeling of a nouveau riche both inside and outside, glittering with gold and looking extremely tacky.

She stood at the door and stared at the big "Yi" on the lintel, at the two stone lions in front of the door. After a long time, Yi Jian was about to fall asleep, but she suddenly turned around and said softly, "Go back."

Then, she actually went back like this.

Yi Jian was dumbfounded.

However, it was enough for her.

She really didn't belong here. Standing in front of the door, she didn't have the slightest sense of belonging.

She had no home, no home.

From now on, his home was where he lived.

He Lan Xue and her group quietly walked into the buddhist hall.

The air was thick with the smell of incense and a little choking.

At the innermost corner of the chamber was the empress dowager's prone position. Feng Jiu was already sitting outside, holding a red thread in his hand as he muttered to himself — he was currently taking her pulse.

When he was a few steps away from Feng Jiu, He Lan Chun stopped and turned around to look at his two younger brothers. His back was facing the light and his face was like a pair of shadow. He couldn't see anything clearly.

"The Queen Mother has been unconscious for several days. No matter what, all of you must be mentally prepared." His voice was extremely quiet, as if he was narrating an extremely ordinary matter.

He Lan Qin and He Lan Xue fell silent at the same time. After a while, He Lan Qin asked in a clear voice, "Mister Feng, do you have any results?"

Feng Jiu shook his head and muttered, "This humble one can only think of a way to extend the life of the empress dowager, but I can't make her recover."

"How?" He Lan Chunsen asked coldly.

"If Your Highness doesn't mind, can you each take out a bowl of blood?" The empress dowager's illness is strange, and because she has been unconscious for many days and has already shown signs of blood loss, this subject must first inject some of the blood of her loved ones before she can make a further diagnosis and treatment. " Feng Jiu calmly replied, "And His Majesty has to take care of everything everyday, there is no need to injure his body any further."

He Lan Chun didn't refute her, but repeated the same question in extreme displeasure, "How can we extend the life of the empress dowager? Can you wake Her Majesty? "

"No, it will only help the Empress Dowager live a little longer. Perhaps in the future, there will be other capable people who can save the empress dowager. " Feng Jiu replied.

He Lan Chun said no more.

He Lan Xue was very close. He didn't know why, but he had an illusion: was He Lan Chun relieved just now?

"Please grant us your blood, Your Highness." Feng Jiu urged.

He Lan Qin extended his hand and instructed, "Give me a knife!" Then, without saying anything, he cut open his wrist. He didn't even frown as he filled a bowl.

He was originally a veteran of battlefields. Naturally, he wouldn't take such a small matter to heart.

The air was immediately filled with the smell of fresh blood.

He Lan Xue's right hand was powerless. She could only hold the blade with her left hand and also cut her right arm.

Not long later, another bowl was served.

When two bowls of blood were placed in front of Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu continued, "This method is very mysterious. Can someone who has yet to donate blood avoid it for a moment? Otherwise, the smell of blood will affect the empress dowager's blood transfusion. "

He Lan Chun's face was filled with anger, but he couldn't say much.

Everything was in the name of the Empress Dowager. If he refused, it would be unfilial.

After enduring for a while, He Lan Chun waved his hand and calmly instructed, "Please do your best, Sir Feng. If there's anything good for the empress dowager, Zhen will definitely investigate it."

These words were a naked threat.

Feng Jiu smiled and bowed, showing no fear.

After everyone left, only He Lan Qin, He Lan Xue, and Feng Jiu remained in the buddhist hall.

There was, of course, an empress dowager lying on her back.

"Your highnesses, you can look closer." Feng Jiu lightly called out, and then he picked up the two bowls of blood and sprinkled them all over the bedside. He then took out a bag of powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on the bloodstains as well.

A sizzling sound could be heard. The faint smell of blood from before suddenly turned incredibly thick.

He Lan Qin almost doubted himself as he returned to the bloody battlefield.

Then, something strange happened.

Seven or eight big, round worms suddenly rushed down from the empress dowager's canyon. Each of them was transparent in color and had a peculiar shape. They had never been seen before in their entire lives.

However, the moment their bodies touched the powder on the blood, they immediately started rolling, and sizzling sounds rang out nonstop. Not long after, the seven or eight big bugs melted into a puddle of pus that mixed together with the blood and became extremely disgusting.

He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin were both people who had seen the world. When they saw this scene, their eyes widened in shock.

"These... "Just what are these …" He Lan Xue pointed to the ground before pointing to the empress dowager. She didn't understand what was going on.

"It's a Gu poison. The empress dowager has been infected with a Gu." For those infected with the parasite, ordinary doctors would never be able to determine the cause of the disease. As for the empress dowager, she'll get weaker and weaker day by day until the day her blood essence is completely sucked dry. " Feng Jiu explained indifferently, "I used the blood-devouring properties of the Gu worms to lure them out, but only a small part of them managed to come out. The empress dowager still has two large mother Gu in her body, and they've already been implanted into her bone marrow. They'll never be able to be pulled out again."

"You mean …"

"The empress dowager will be dying soon, and this is only a quarter of an hour away. If you have any questions, Your Highness, please ask them as soon as possible." Feng Jiu moved to the side, revealing the empress dowager's appearance on the bed.

He Lan Qin and He Lan Xue hadn't seen her for a long time. At first glance, besides being unfamiliar, they also felt inexplicably sad.

The empress dowager looked to be no more than thirty years old and was an extremely beautiful woman. Looking at She Lan Xue's enchanting appearance, one could tell that the empress dowager had been an unparalleled beauty back then, and years of courtesy had left no trace of time on her face. When He Lan Qin and He Lan Xue looked at her from afar, they only felt that there was no difference between her and her childhood memories.

Because she had not seen the sun for years, and because of the loss of blood, her face was as white as a piece of waning moonlight.

He Lan Qin and He Lan Xue simultaneously took a step forward. They knelt in front of the empress dowager's bed and looked deeply at their mother, who was about to die. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

The relationship between mother and son had always been indifferent, and they had never been together. The only thing that remained in her mind was the empress dowager's phoenix coronet and ceremonial bearing during the sacrificial ceremony. There wasn't much tenderness, nor was there the feeling of being touched by tears. However, she was indeed his mother. She was the girl who was born in October and gave birth to them.

This feeling was very strange. His heart was clearly sad, but he lacked the final push. All the pain was blocked in his heart, unable to be vented.

The rims of He Lan Xue's eyes turned red, while He Lan Qin remained silent.

Not long after, the empress dowager finally opened her eyes. She looked left and right with a bit of confusion, then her gaze slowly focused on them.

"Muhou." Haeru took a step forward and called out in a low voice.

The empress dowager's gaze moved from his face to He Lan Qin's.

"Muhou." He Lan Qin's voice also became choked with sobs.

Her Majesty smiled with relief and continued to gaze about the room.

"Muhou, are you looking for Big Brother? Your son will go call Big Brother to come in right now." He Lan Xue felt enlightened and quickly said.

The empress dowager's expression changed as she shook her head in panic.

He Lan Xue looked dazedly at the fear in the empress dowager's eyes. She couldn't help but ask her own question, "Imperial Mother, this time you … This illness, is it … Because of Big Brother? "

This question was especially difficult to answer.

He Lan Xue didn't mind how He Lan Chun would guard against him. After all, as the emperor, he had his own schemes and schemes.

But his mother was so completely at peace with him, so how could he do anything to her?

The empress dowager didn't speak, but only stretched out her trembling hand from under the quilt. He Lan Xue hastily held her in her hands, feeling the touch of her flesh and bones like firewood.

She would still be sad. Even the most indifferent mother and son would still be sad even after they had experienced life and death together.

Her voice was very low and very calm. There was no excitement, nor was there any complaint, only a light explanation, just like the usual courtesies and buddhas, with a sense of being born into the world. "Ah Xue, your heart is too soft, it has been too soft since you were young. "In the future, you will be at a disadvantage."

He Lan Xue didn't expect her to say such words. They were so kind and considerate, and when she heard them, she couldn't help but cry.

"Ah Qin," the Empress Dowager turned to her other son. "Ah Qin, you must take care of your brother in the future. Don't let anyone bully him."

He Lan Qin nodded. He was relatively calm as he replied, "Imperial Mother doesn't need to worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully A Xue."

"I'm relieved." The empress dowager smiled slightly and said quietly, "All of you are my good sons, all of you are intelligent and capable. Imperial Mother, don't worry."

"As for your elder brothers …" The empress dowager hesitated for a moment, then said indifferently, "I originally wanted to bring this secret to the grave, but your father gave me a secret order that I must tell you the truth. I told you, but I hope that after you found out, you would treat your eldest brother the same way as before."

"Queen Mother, what's going on?" He Lan Xue and He Lan Qin felt a chill in their hearts and asked anxiously.

What in the world could cause He Lan Chun to use such a malicious method to harm his mother?

"Your elder brother He Lan Chun is the son of your eldest uncle, the Peerless Emperor." An obsessed expression surfaced on the empress dowager's face. She sighed with emotion, but it had all been washed away by Fleeting Time. "Back then, your royal father let Emperor Wu Shuang down. The reason I am always paying respects to Buddha is also to atone for my sins to your royal father. In the end, we were the ones who let your big brother down. "

"Imperial Mother, didn't Eldest Uncle die of illness? Didn't he have no children? " She was confused and asked.

"Your uncle died, but not of a disease. Peerless Emperor was angered to death by your royal father. " The empress dowager smiled bitterly. "And He Lan Chun, he was your uncle's illegitimate child, before this, his identity was never made public, he was born of a woman your uncle loved, and after your uncle died, that woman also died of grief. Your father felt guilty, so he brought him over and raised him as our child."

"That woman, is … is she Madam Xi?" He Lan Qin suddenly asked.

"It's a little girl, it's a little girl beside Madam Xi." The empress dowager gave a sigh and said dejectedly, "Who would have thought that the peerlessly talented Madam Xi would lose to a little girl in the end?"
