It was summer, the heat and humidity were overwhelming, cicadas were chirping on the branches, and everything was full of vitality, even making the Mushui Palace look a bit fake and lively.

He Yue took the third pill of fake death medicine in the season of rebirth, and her illness became worse. She was seldom awake for a few hours a day. The whole Mushui Palace was filled with grief, and the imperial doctors went from asking for her pulse once a day to asking three times a day.

Everyone knew that the Queen would not survive this July. They felt sad for the Queen, and even more sad for themselves.

"Empress, please drink your medicine." The female doctor Hui Qing brought the medicine cup.

A slender and white finger moved the medicine cup away. He Yue didn't even look at it. "Hui Qing, pour it out. I'm tired of drinking it."

The imperial doctors did not dare to prescribe strong medicines and used ineffective drugs to keep her alive. She became impatient to wait, and the pain tortured her every day, making her dazed and confused. She spent most of the day in a coma, but was restless and fell into the heaviest nightmare. Sometimes when she woke up, she would feel a sense of fatigue as if she were in another world.

Hui Qing followed the order and quietly poured out the medicine, then retreated respectfully. "It will be done soon, Madam, please be patient. The Duan family's men and horses have been deployed in place, and there is a 90% chance that they can take the Madam away safely!"

Hui Qing was walking in the corridor with an empty medicine cup in her hand. On the way, she met Xiao Taozi. She was a female doctor of a certain rank, so she didn't greet him, but she still showed her respect verbally, "Aunt Tao."

"Female doctor Hui." Xiao Taozi also replied with a smile, her face gentle.

The two passed each other. Huiqing really didn't want to deal with Xiao Taozi. Xiao Taozi looked kind, but her methods were too cruel.

Xiao Taozi did not become the only maid who benefited from the Queen as she wished. When the Queen was sober, she liked to be alone more and more. She liked to sit on a recliner under a tree, thinking about something. When the weather was bad, she would sit on the beauty couch in the warm room. When the flower window was open, she would lean against the window.

Flowers are most decadent and gorgeous when they are about to wither. The Queen is the same, she is about to wither.

The Queen's health really worries His Majesty all day long, so the female doctor Hui Qing was ordered to stay by the Queen's side at all times to take care of her. Xiao Taozi knew that the Queen disliked her a little. Perhaps the Queen guessed some of the truth about Moli or Xiaolizi. The Queen was indeed a smart and insightful person.

His Majesty often travels back and forth between the Mushui Palace and the Imperial Palace. During the new calendar period, all of His Majesty's time is squeezed out from the night. After he coaxes the Empress to sleep, he will go to the study to review memorials. Two hours of sleep a day is already a great time.

Because He Yue lowered her head to turn the page, her hairpin moved to the side and her hair became messy.

Leng Bai's even fingers pushed the hairpin back, but it was still a mess. Ning Rushong stood behind He Yue in silence for a long time, took off the hairpin, and looked at the black hair cascading down. He waved the hairpin in his hand towards the door.

The palace maid standing at the door bowed and entered the hall, took the hairpin and pinned it up into a soft bun for He Yue, then retreated back to the door.

He Yue felt a severe pain in her chest and couldn't read the book in her hand any more. As soon as she loosened her hands, the book fell to the ground with a thud.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" After a violent coughing fit, He Yue's face turned pale and painful, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She bent her waist and relaxed for a long time, her whole body seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture, and every movement was a huge pain for her.

She lowered her eyes and leaned back naturally. Ning Rusong held her waist and hugged her in his arms, stroking her back again and again. His voice was choked and muffled, as if something was blocking it. "Yueyue, I have found a group of famous doctors among the people. Can I ask them to come and see me tomorrow?"

On the day He Yue was diagnosed with a congenital disease, he had already ordered to find a famous doctor. He placed almost all his hopes on this!

There was a hint of blood in the corners of Ning Rushong's eyes, and an indescribable sadness between his brows. His soul had been torn to pieces.

He Yue closed her eyes and curled herself up in his arms, breathing deeply and calming herself down. Even so, the burning pain in her lungs still did not let her go.

She leaned on his chest and raised her head tremblingly. Ning Rushong's stern and cold face showed grief that was not completely concealed.

Her body was sinking in pain, but her mind was so clear that it shocked her. She was much more cold-blooded than she had imagined.

He Yue's hand stayed on Ning Rusong's face. She sighed and said calmly, "Ning Rusong, forget it. I can't stand it anymore. I'm so tired and in so much pain. I don't want to live anymore."

If this wasn't a fake death, she would want to die now. The long-lasting pain was like an infinitely prolonged torture, causing her limbs to ache and cramp all the time, as if she was in purgatory!

It was as if a thin blade was cutting Ning Rushong's throat. He covered his neck with his right hand, opened and closed his lips, and finally struggled to say a word through the blood, "It will be cured."

He selfishly entangled his emotions on He Yue. All his warmth was born out of He Yue's bones and blood, and he couldn't let go!

What a vicious evil ghost, he tightly grasped the love that did not belong to him in his palm, greedily swallowed He Yue whole, not wanting her to escape for a moment.

It is an established fact that Ning Rusong loves He Yue, but he did not know how to organize it and his beginning was too messy, which led to such an ending.
