Chapter 400 May You Be Like the Bright Moon
Nie Wushuang was about to leave when he heard the Shenwu Emperor say in a deep voice: "Wait!"
Nie Wushuang turned his head and saw a dazzling red slowly flowing out from under Lan Qingwu, staining the plain hem of Lan Qingwu's skirt like a fiery red flower.
The Emperor's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at the red, and his large palm tightly grasped Lan Qingwu's bare hand. If he could do it all over again, he would never allow anything in that dream to happen again! He would never allow Lan Qingwu to leave his life!
Lan Qingwu fell into a coma for a while because of the cold poison. Her hemorrhage was controlled by Nie Wushuang with medicine, and then Lan Qingwu was secretly taken out of the palace by Emperor Shenwu.
In the hot spring imperial villa, butterflies were flying and flowers were blooming. Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu and stepped into the hot spring water step by step. The cold poison was overbearing. Although most of it was expelled from the body with medicine, the remaining toxins in the body needed to be slowly eliminated.
Emperor Shenwu stepped into the hot spring pool. He sat on the bathing steps, holding the unconscious Lan Qingwu in his arms. Lan Qingwu's crow-feather-like eyelashes were motionless, casting shadows under her eyes like fan feathers.
Her plain skirt fluttered on the water like snow lotus petals, gently rippling.
In the previous dynasty, a family had been imprisoned because they were involved in the poisoning and coma of the Queen Mother. In the harem, Concubine Wen, who had always kept a low profile, was reprimanded by the emperor again. Even Princess Mingzhu was not spared by Emperor Shenwu. This time, her fiefdom and estate were really taken away.
This matter continued to ferment, and after a few days it finally alarmed the Sixth Prince and the Second Prince who were thousands of miles away. The Sixth Prince received the letter from the imperial city, read only a few lines, and suddenly stood up from his chair.
The Second Prince noticed that his expression was not right and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the Imperial City?"
The Sixth Prince's face was as gloomy as water. He folded the letter in his hand and said, "We should go back!"
The Second Prince looked at him in confusion, but he saw the Sixth Prince say to the man in black who stood silently behind him: "I'm going back to the Imperial City. It's not suitable for you. Let's say goodbye now!"
It turns out that the man in black was the one to whom the Sixth Prince gave the ice jade that day!
Hearing the Sixth Prince's words, the man in black simply raised his head and looked back at the Sixth Prince with a pair of firm, dark eyes.
In the hot spring pool, Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu and soaked for a whole day and night.
Emperor Shenwu also didn't sleep for a whole day and night. He thought of the dream in his past life that seemed to foreshadow something, and thought of Lan Qingwu lying silently in the ice jade coffin. He whispered in Lan Qingwu's ear: "Ruoruo, wake up quickly! As long as you wake up, I will agree to anything you want. If you miss Chu Ming, I will let him come back. If you want to go back to the border to see the big peach tree, we can go back together! Don't keep sleeping like this. I'm very worried if you keep staying awake!"
In Yuyang Palace, Concubine Yang woke up again. She took a few breaths with difficulty, "Someone! Go get the Third Prince."
The Third Prince had not left the palace in the first place. When he entered the bedroom, he saw his mother, tearful and vulnerable. He was startled, "Mother!"
Concubine Yang looked at the Third Prince and begged, "Luo'er, go ask your father to come over. Mother wants to see him!"
The Third Prince was stunned: "Mother, the Queen is seriously ill, and Father is with her!"
Concubine Yang ignored her and kept saying, "Go and ask your father to come! Mother really wants to see him! Mother wants to see him!"
The Third Prince was in a hurry to comfort Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang's eyes changed from begging to despair.
The Third Prince had the palace servants specially invite Imperial Concubine Jiang to come. By this time, Concubine Yang had calmed down. She did not move at all when she saw Imperial Concubine Jiang. "The Imperial Concubine is here. Tell me, how is the Empress's illness?"
The Third Prince was horrified by what he heard, but Imperial Concubine Jiang didn't mind Concubine Yang's rudeness: "The Empress has been taken to the Hot Springs Imperial Manor by His Majesty. She's fine."
Concubine Yang seemed not to hear and only said quietly, "What a coincidence! I'm sick, and the Empress is sick too, and she's taken all of His Majesty's attention away! Now I can't even see His Majesty!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang frowned and advised, "If you're worried about your condition, there's no need to worry. His Majesty has left behind several imperial physicians specializing in treating asthma! Once the Empress's condition stabilizes, His Majesty will return to the palace!"
Concubine Yang slowly closed her eyes: "I wonder if I can see His Majesty for the last time when I die soon!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang's face darkened and she was about to scold, but she fell silent when she saw Concubine Yang's haggard face. Concubine Yang had been ill for a long time, and she looked emaciated, with a sallow complexion and no energy at all. Imperial Concubine Jiang frowned even tighter, Concubine Yang really didn't look well!
In the hot springs, Lan Qingwu finally woke up in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her eyes slightly: "Your Majesty?"
"Wei Ruo, you finally woke up! Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Lan Qingwu recalled the heart-wrenching pain that day and trembled slightly, "It hurts so much..."
Emperor Shenwu comforted him, "Don't be afraid! Everything is fine now!"
Lan Qingwu slowly relaxed. She looked around and found that this was the Hot Spring Royal Manor.
Emperor Shenwu hugged Lan Qingwu tightly and sighed, "Wei Ruo, you slept for a very long time this time."
Lan Qingwu noticed the newly grown green stubble of the Shenwu Emperor's beard and gently stroked his cheek with her bare hands. "Brother Heng, I can hear you. You've been talking to me the whole time and guarding me the whole time. It must be very tiring!"
Emperor Shenwu stared back at Lan Qingwu intently. "I recall the words the Human Emperor, who founded the Dasheng Dynasty, gave to Empress Zhaoyan. They separated and reunited many times at the crossroads of fate. Every time they parted, the Human Emperor would bless Empress Zhaoyan: 'May you be like the bright moon in the sky, forever pure and clear!' I follow the example of my ancestors and send these words to my empress as well. May you be like the bright moon in the sky, forever pure and clear!"
"May you be like the bright moon in the sky, forever bright and clear!" Lan Qingwu repeated blankly.
"The Human Emperor must love his queen very much!"
The Emperor Shenwu held Lan Qingwu's hand, and their fingers interlocked. "When Ruo Ruo is fully recovered, I will take you to see some ancient ruins. There are stories recorded in ancient characters on them!"
Lan Qingwu nodded: "Okay! In my heart, Brother Heng is like the sun in the sky, dazzling and scorching, illuminating the entire world. Although you are not mine alone, I know that Brother Heng has given me everything an emperor can give! Brother Heng, even though there are shadows where the sun shines, I am already very satisfied! Thank you!"
You give me a place to lean on, love to keep, and wishes to look forward to in this world.
"Brother Heng, promise Ruo Ruo that even if one day Ruo Ruo passes away before you, you must live well! Ruo Ruo is like the bright moon, always watching over you from afar!"
