Chapter 225 Response
"Your Majesty, you must be tired after a long afternoon."
"I've prepared ginseng soup; you should rest before continuing your practice!"
Emperor Cheng of Ming did not listen to her, but asked without looking up:
"Shujing, do you think my decision was right?"
Upon seeing the character "意" (meaning/intent) written by the emperor, Consort Jing's brow furrowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, there is no right or wrong in this matter."
"The best thing for the people is to stop the losses in time!"
In my heart, you will always be a wise and mighty emperor.
"My beloved concubine..."
Emperor Mingcheng looked up, his gaze towards Consort Jing filled with emotion.
He put down his pen.
"My beloved concubine understands me best."
"Since it's a nourishing medicinal meal, then you feed it to me!"
Consort Jing nodded and was led aside by the Emperor.
After watching the emperor finish the ginseng soup she had personally prepared, Consort Jing picked up a handkerchief and carefully wiped his face.
This scene reminded Emperor Mingcheng of the time when they first met and fell in love.
Emperor Cheng felt his heart filled with warmth.
"Your Majesty, there is something I am unsure whether I should say!"
Seeing that the emperor's emotions had subsided, Consort Jing spoke up.
"you say!"
Consort Jing pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I wish to protect someone for you."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingcheng looked up.
"Who?"
"He Yuyan".
Upon hearing this name, the emperor's expression hardened.
The pleasant atmosphere vanished instantly.
"Why did Consort Jing say that she was protecting me?"
"Your Majesty, I believe..."
Now, Envoy Lu is in the northern frontier, facing off against the Princess from afar.
If you are determined to kill his beloved concubine.
Your Majesty, I fear that when Commander Lu returns, he will be devastated.
Your Majesty, you might also force a loyal minister to his death…
When Wu Weiwei came to plead with her about this matter that day, Consort Jing originally did not want to interfere with He Yuyan.
After all, she wasn't very satisfied with Ting'er's concubine.
But thinking about it afterwards, it's amazing that Ting'er could do something like marrying He Yuyan's corpse.
If He Yuyan is really executed by the emperor, he will probably go mad again.
The outcome then won't be what she wants.
The only way was to persuade the emperor to release He Yuyan.
Even if we don't release her, we can keep her imprisoned, as long as she has a spare life.
At least after Ting'er returned, knowing that she was still alive gave him something to look forward to.
When the time comes, let Wu put in more effort, and over time he will forget about it.
The emperor looked at her with a complicated expression.
"Consort Jing, you don't understand..."
Aside from himself, probably no one knows the pressure he carries on his shoulders.
Of all his father's sons, he was the only one with mediocre talent.
Everyone in the palace looked down on him.
He was the lowest-ranking person in the palace.
Day after day, year after year.
He only saw his once arrogant brothers and brothers dwindling one by one.
In the final battle for the throne, none of them met a good end.
Haha, I'm afraid no one expected this.
They used to look down on themselves, on their ordinary selves.
In the end, he actually ascended the throne as emperor.
Yes.
He was not an ambitious and enterprising emperor.
He couldn't even be a defending emperor.
But even so.
He also did not want to leave a bad name in history.
"emperor……"
Consort Jing didn't understand what he was thinking, seeing his cold face and his unwillingness to say more.
She suddenly fell silent and dared not offer any more advice.
The emperor took her hand.
"My beloved consort, rest assured! I have made arrangements."
outside the temple.
Consort Ji, accompanied by her palace maids, also brought over a nourishing soup.
However, they were stopped outside the palace by Eunuch Wei.
"Your Highness, His Majesty is currently busy. Why don't you come later?"
Consort Ji's eyes flashed.
Remembering what the palace maid had said when he arrived, he immediately understood.
Consort Ji left the bowl of soup behind.
"Eunuch Wei, please be sure to serve this to the Emperor on my behalf and tell him that I have been here..."
"Your Highness, please rest assured, this servant will certainly pass on the message for you."
Consort Ji nodded and turned to leave.
Consort Ji didn't actually want to come.
The letter in the letter asks her to find a way to persuade the emperor to release Lu Hanting's concubine.
She scoffed inwardly.
The matter is now settled.
Do they really think they're the emperor's favorite concubine, able to get the emperor to release someone just by saying a few words?
Even though she was unwilling, she had no choice but to go against her own wishes and make this happen.
The people in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison were filled with fear and trepidation.
The innermost cell of the prison.
He Yuyan lay on the bed with a high fever.
"Water, I want to drink water..."
Her voice was weak.
But there were no jailers guarding outside, and no one heard her cries.
The man simply told her to rest assured that he would definitely rescue her.
But she never expected that they would save her in this way.
Damn it, they actually threw smallpox into the prison.
Could it be that she died in the end?
He Yuyan is currently experiencing a high fever and unbearable body pain.
If no one comes soon, she might die here.
He Yuyan was in a daze.
All I could hear was a voice calling out, "Miss He, Miss He, wake up..."
He Yuyan opened her eyes and, through her blurry vision, saw only a figure dressed as a prison guard.
The jailer stuffed the medicine into her mouth and then poured water into her mouth.
"Take your medicine quickly, let's change clothes..."
The jailer ripped the headband off his head.
Her long, black hair was revealed.
It turned out that the jailer was a woman.
"I...you're his person?"
He Yuyan stared in surprise.
"Yes, Master Hu has already arranged everything."
I'll disguise myself as you, and when the jailers come to take people away, you can hide here underneath..."
The female "prison guard" pointed to the dark underside of the bed.
"Remember, once the fire starts outside, find a way to escape from here."
"Someone will be there to meet you when the time comes..."
"how about you?"
He Yuyan looked at the female "prison guard" in front of her, whose appearance was no less than her own.
The female "prison guard" had a bitter smile on her face.
Everyone has their own destiny, and my destiny is to take your place!
Hearing her words, He Yuyan felt her heart pounding.
This……
That sounds cruel.
But if she weren't there to take his place, she would probably be the one burned.
He Yuyan felt somewhat guilty.
But when it came to survival, she couldn't help but be selfish.
Besides, perhaps they have already promised her enough reward to give her life.
In that case, she didn't lose out.
After the two changed their clothes, He Yuyan hid under the bed.
Although she still feels unwell all over, the pill she just took seems to be working.
At least she felt that she was no longer shivering.
Now she just has to wait for the real jailer to come and take "herself" out, and then she will find a chance to sneak out of the prison.
That's the end of it.
A short while later, they heard footsteps approaching in their direction.
"Physician Wei, when you examined those prisoners just now, did you find any other abnormalities?"
"Dr. Chen, according to my diagnosis..."
Those prisoners were probably among the first to contract smallpox.
Especially that tall, strong, hardened prisoner.
He was probably the first person to carry smallpox…
The middle-aged, refined imperial physician, dressed in a moon-white robe, spoke in a way that differed from the attire of the other two physicians.
"Oh, are you sure?"
"To confirm, we'll probably need to examine the last female prisoner before we know the result..."
After saying this, the imperial physicians headed towards the innermost prison cell.
