Chapter 1964: Chapter 1902: Emperor and Empress Reunited

Commander Zhao personally went to Kunning Palace to apprehend someone.

Emperor Yan paused again, looking at Ah Jiu and asking, "How is my health really? Tell me the truth."

The two brothers exchanged glances, Ah Jiu pursed his lips and after a long pause said, "Not very optimistic. Xiao Bai is searching for a remedy for the Gu poison and has sent people to places like the Southern Border Miaojiang to look for Witch Doctors."

After hearing this, Emperor Yan closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and when he opened them again, he glared at Ah Jiu, saying, "Do you think I am foolish?"

Didn’t even know when I was secretly attacked.

He couldn’t help but think back to the scene before the sacrifices when the two were quarreling, Ah Jiu had asked him, weren’t you afraid of desecrating Heaven above?

Is this Heaven’s punishment?

Emperor Yan lowered his eyes, with a self-mocking smirk at the corner of his mouth. He insulted his stepmother, disregarded human ethics, and even Heaven couldn’t bear it.

Ah Jiu didn’t reply, standing there woodenly, looking at him, then turned his eyes away, saying, "Xiao Five is at my residence, temporarily taken care of by the Princess Consort. Please, Your Majesty, choose an imperial consort to raise him."

"He’s the only one left!" Emperor Yan sneered lightly.

"Your Majesty, it’s all this old servant’s fault, this old servant deserves to die, this old servant deserves to die for not discovering the Gu poison, this old servant deserves to die..." Eunuch Lu couldn’t help but kneel down, slapping his own face back and forth.

"Enough!" Emperor Yan stopped him, saying, "Wait until I’m gone before you die!"

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Lu cried, tears streaming down, "Your Majesty’s longevity is as eternal as Heaven, you mustn’t say such things, your majesty’s life is boundless..."

"Alright, alright, what is the point of saying this!" Emperor Yan waved his hand, looking at Ah Jiu, saying, "The palace is already chaotic, Xiao Five being watched over by your wife is fine, let her manage him for now!"

Ah Jiu opened his mouth, wanting to say what does it have to do with my wife, she’s not a nanny?

But seeing Emperor Yan’s face which had hollowed out in just a few days, he swallowed his words, saying nothing!

Time passed bit by bit, Commander Zhao pressed the gagged Empress Song out, pushing her to the ground, and tore off the handkerchief from her mouth.

Empress Song groaned in pain, lifted her head, first seeing Ah Jiu, then turning to see the man on the bed with sunken cheeks, meeting his eyes, her body stiffened.

Emperor Yan’s gaze was very cold, colder than the chilly wind outside, inducing fear.

Empress Song couldn’t help but shrink back, wanting to move back but her body was too stiff to move.

Emperor Yan looked at the woman on the ground, seeing her haggard face, eyes big but dull, the whole person lacking the liveliness and grace she had before. No matter how well she disguised herself, she couldn’t hide the malice and resentment emanating from her.

Was I blind, or had I never noticed the true face of the woman beside me?

As Emperor Yan scrutinized her, Empress Song also scrutinized Emperor Yan, seeing him emaciated beyond recognition, face pale, at first she felt joy, then alarm.

She hadn’t expected the Gu poison to be so potent, would it torment a person to this extent, tearing the guts apart?

Empress Song instinctively looked at Emperor Yan’s abdomen, quickly glancing away, why hadn’t he died yet?

However, now wasn’t the time to think about this, but about her own situation.

He brought her here, did he know or was he certain about something?

Empress Song was somewhat flustered, but forced herself to appear calm.

"Your, Your Majesty, how come..."

"I just have one question for you: you and Lu Shenxing, what is your relationship?" Emperor Yan interrupted her, lacking the energy to engage in idle chatter.

Empress Song’s pupils contracted, without thinking, she refuted: "What Lu Shenxing, I don’t know what Your Majesty is talking about?"

"Don’t know, huh!" Emperor Yan looked at her, his lips curled.
