Chapter 251 Royal blood
The moonlight flows outside the window, blending with Lin Yingxue's snow-white middle clothes. Now Lin Yingxue is like a lily in bud, which makes people feel charming.
Murong Xun's hand slowly stroked Lin Yingxue's pale face... Pale? Murong Xun frowned and suddenly realized something was wrong.
He looked carefully and saw Lin Yingxue's lips closed tightly, with a painful look floating on her face. It was not like suffering from what she had to bear next, but another kind of tolerant and unbearable pain.
"What trick do you want to play?" This is not the first time he has seen this woman's cunning. Murong Xun frowned and looked carefully at the person on the bed.
But let’s not talk about Lin Yingxue’s ability to speak at all at this time. Even if she can speak, Lin Yingxue will not answer the person in front of her.
Seeing the blood on Lin Yingxue's face fading inch by inch, and the crystal beads of sweat slid down Lin Yingxue's forehead, Murong Xun hesitated for a moment, and finally untied Lin Yingxue's acupoints.
As soon as the acupoint was untied, Lin Yingxue immediately curled up into a ball in pain.
Seeing that the person who used to be disdainful of him now showed such a fragile side in front of him, Murong Xun's mood began to become complicated.
"..." When I was distracted, I suddenly saw Lin Yingxue's lips opening and closing, as if she was saying something.
Murong Xun approached a little, but he still didn't dare to untie Lin Yingxue's mute hole, but through Lin Yingxue's eyes, he saw a small medicine bottle on the table not far away.
"Do you want medicine?" Murong Xun asked.
Lin Yingxue nodded with difficulty, looking in pain.
Murong Xun hesitated for a moment, got up and took the medicine bottle over, but he did not hand it to Lin Yingxue immediately, but sat down next to Lin Yingxue, looking at Lin Yingxue indifferently with a condescending attitude, "Please."
When this woman treats him, she always looks like a hedgehog covered with thorns. He wants to see this woman beg for mercy at his feet.
But Murong Xun could not do what he wanted after all.
Lin Yingxue looked up and glanced at Murong Jun, with a strong hatred and disgust flashing in her eyes. Then, under Murong Xun's surprised gaze, Lin Yingxue put her wrist in her mouth and bit her.
"You're crazy!" Murong Xun's eyes widened.
It was because he didn't know this woman too much. Murong Xun rushed forward and pulled Lin Yingxue's hand away, but before he could put the medicine in his hand into Lin Yingxue's mouth, Lin Yingxue had no idea where the strength he got, and grabbed his arm and bit it down fiercely.
The sudden and severe pain made Murong Xun fight back, but looking at Lin Yingxue's little face that was mixed with hatred and pain, he somehow couldn't do it.
In the end, perhaps because he had exhausted his strength, Lin Yingxue fell on the bed and soon fell asleep.
Murong Xun glanced at the tooth mark on his arm that was almost visible to the bone. After hesitating for a moment, he helped Lin Yingxue re-tickle the belt around her waist and cover the quilt with the person on the bed. Then he left Lin Yingxue's room quietly.
——This time he just doesn’t want to take advantage of others’ danger, and next time he will never be soft-hearted!
...
The wedding date of the prince and Fang Mengru was originally scheduled to be in early September, but when they were preparing for marriage, the emperor suddenly fell ill. The prince has always been kind and filial. At this time, he naturally chose to temporarily put aside the wedding and wait with the emperor first.
"In order to take care of my father, the queen mother has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days. You know medical skills and have always been able to chat with her queen. Why not go to the palace to accompany her mother?" This was what the prince said to Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue originally wanted to go to the palace to find out the news, but the prince spoke up at this time, so she naturally had no reason to refuse.
"The Empress is not very good at first, and now she is too busy and needs to rest well. The medicine is three parts poisonous. The Empress should not take this medicine. I will write a recipe for food and replenishment for the Empress. The Empress usually takes it as it should." After exploring the Queen's pulse, Lin Yingxue said so.
The queen nodded, looking very tired.
"You all go down. I want to have a conversation with Yingxue alone." The queen waved her hand, and soon there were only Lin Yingxue and the queen in the room.
"You want to assist the prince in ascending the throne, the prince has already told me." There are no outsiders in the house, so the queen has no scruples when speaking. "Because of the ridiculous days before, the emperor's foundation has been emptied, and now the emperor's health is getting worse day by day."
"Although the prince is kind, he is too pedantic and rigid. What I mean now is to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness in bed and let the prince take over the power first, but the prince refuses... The third brother is not in the city now, so I can only ask you to make this happen."
The queen frowned and told Lin Yingxue solemnly.
Lin Yingxue heard the Queen's meaning, the emperor's body was really no longer good.
Now Murong Xun's prestige in the court is much higher than that of the prince. The only advantage of the prince now is this title. If he can make good use of it, the prince might be able to use it to make a comeback.
She nodded and responded solemnly: "Don't worry, Empress, Yingxue will go on to arrange this matter."
As he was talking, the prince suddenly walked in from outside.
The queen looked at the prince in surprise, "Aren't you serving your father? Why did you come here?"
The queen asked, waved to the prince and signaled the prince to sit down next to her.
After the prince obediently sat down beside the queen, he frowned and said with a frown: "Just just now, the child was reporting the official affairs to his father with other ministers, but Liu De came in from outside, and didn't know what his father said in his ears. His father's face suddenly changed drastically and he coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot."
"After finally stabilized the mood of the father, the father sent us out, leaving only a few cabinet masters to discuss matters... I don't know what happened to make the father so excited..."
Something that even the prince could not listen to? Lin Yingxue couldn't help but turn her head and look at the queen, but both of them were confused.
...
The Emperor's Bedroom.
At this time, no one spoke in the bedroom. The old ministers standing in the room were all looking at the listless emperor on the dragon bed with caution.
——The emperor has been silent for a long time.
Just when someone couldn't help but want to ask the emperor what was going on, the emperor seemed to suddenly wake up from a certain state, looked at the people in the room and said mindlessly: "Someone claims to be the posthumous son left by the late emperor among the people."
"What?!" The emperor's understatement undoubtedly caused a storm.
Several old ministers were so surprised that their beards almost turned up. "The late emperor was demented in his later years and only brought a guard away from the palace alone. Later, the guards brought the ashes back... At that time, there was no other news about the late emperor, but why did the late emperor's posthumous son appear for no reason? Emperor, would this matter be fake?"
None of the few people in the house believed that this ridiculous thing was true, and the emperor naturally thought so.
"I have asked someone to bring that person into the palace. What I am worried about now is that if this matter is true, how should this matter be handled?" The emperor frowned and his face turned dark.
Several old ministers whispered and before they could reach any useful conclusions, Liu De had already brought the person back.
"Emperor, the person is here." Liu De brought the person in. If Lin Yingxue and others were here, he would be surprised to find that the so-called posthumous son of the late emperor was actually a man from the world who was completely inseparable from the court, Meng Yi.
"The Caomin has met the emperor, dear sir." Meng Yi bowed and saluted the emperor and everyone. Although he claimed to be the Caomin in his words, he did not bow down.
The emperor had no time to pay attention to these details at this time. What he wanted to figure out the most now was, "You claim to be my brother, so what evidence do you have?"
This was also an expected problem. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Meng Yi took out an object from his sleeve and handed it to Liu De on the side.
"This is the token of love given to my mother by the late emperor. I have always kept it on my behalf since my mother passed away. Please see if this can prove her identity?" Meng Yi looked directly at the once powerful emperor, with a calm eyes.
Not to mention whether Meng Yi's identity is true, just like Meng Yi's face of the emperor and the ministers' calm momentum, the emperor already realized that the person in front of him was not simple.
"Come on." The atmosphere in the bedroom was extremely depressed at this time, and Liu De carefully presented it with the object.
The emperor recognized the jade pendant at first sight, which was once carried by the late emperor. However, after he refused to give up and confirmed it several times, he lowered his face and said, "This jade pendant is indeed the jade pendant worn by the late emperor before, but how did I know that this jade pendant was not picked up by you?"
It seemed that he had known for a long time that the emperor would not admit his identity so easily. Meng Yi was not discouraged at all. He continued to take out a small copy from his arms, which was already a little yellow, but seemed to be well preserved. "What about this one, after reading this emperor, I guess he can confirm his identity."
When Meng Yi took out the small note, the emperor felt uneasy in his heart.
"Take it over, cough cough..." The emperor started coughing violently as soon as he finished speaking.
Liu De originally wanted to help the emperor get along with his anger first, but seeing that the emperor couldn't wait to see the book, Liu De thought about it and walked towards Meng Yi first.
But this time Meng Yi was unwilling to use it as a false example. "This book is crucial to me. If the emperor wants to read it, he can only take it to me personally."
Meng Yi's words surprised the emperor, and the old minister beside him even shouted: "No one can get close to the emperor's body of thousands of gold!"
"No, just let him come over, I don't believe that he can play with the eyes of so many people!" The emperor spoke at this time and felt a bit gritting his teeth.
