The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Concubine Zhao coughed twice, stroked her forehead with a pale face, and her body swayed slightly.

"I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Please examine me again."

The two imperial guards looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Concubine Zhao suddenly frowned and looked up.

"You guys, step outside and wait."

The two imperial guards looked embarrassed, but did not dare to disobey. They lowered their heads and replied "yes", then quietly retreated and closed the door.

The bedroom suddenly became quiet.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Empress Zhao, are you feeling unwell?"

Concubine Zhao looked at her, and her smile gradually cooled.

She half-sat on the bed, her eyes sneerful.

"Shen Runing, I'm not completely unaware of the affairs between you, Imperial Concubine Jing, and Helan Duoduo."

"At the time, I had no choice but to follow your arrangements."

“But it’s different now.”

She stroked her abdomen and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.

"I'm pregnant with a dragon."

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, his eyes flashing slightly.

Of course, she didn't understand what the lady in front of her was talking nonsense about.

Chunzhi took a step forward and knelt on the ground.

"Empress Zhao, it's late. For you and Longzi, it's better to rest early."

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound.

Concubine Zhao picked up the gilded bronze incense burner on the bedside, threw it to the ground, and shouted angrily.

"You little servant, are you worthy enough to talk to me? Shut up!"

"Say one more word and I'll smash your mouth!"

Qiuzhi quickly pulled Chunzhi, and the two of them lowered their heads in fear, not daring to say anything more.

Xia Zhi looked back at them.

Then he turned to Concubine Zhao.

"My lady, what are you talking about?"

"I... don't understand."

Concubine Zhao sneered.

"Pretending to be stupid?"

She slowly stood up and approached step by step.

"I'm telling you, Shen Runing—if you dare to enter the palace as a concubine, I'll be the first to kill you."

Xia Zhi said nothing, just looked at her quietly, with emotions surging in his eyes.

It’s not that she didn’t want to speak, but her thoughts were a little confused and she didn’t know what to say.

Concubine Zhao walked up to her with a crazy and proud look in her eyes.

"I endured humiliation and hardship over the years and finally climbed up."

"you say……"

"What would happen if I told His Majesty everything you did in private?"

She leaned closer, a cold look on her lips.

"meeting--"

The words have not yet fallen.

"You are really looking for death."

Suddenly, a clear and deep female voice came from behind the screen.

The sound was like ice breaking and suddenly exploded.

Concubine Zhao was struck by lightning. She froze in place and turned around suddenly.

"you……"

Behind the screen, a figure slowly walked out.

Concubine Zhao looked at the figure slowly walking out from behind the screen, and her heart was suddenly shocked.

Shen Runing!

"what happened……?"

She subconsciously looked at Chunzhi, then turned to look at Shen Runing in front of her, her voice trembling.

"you……"

She staggered back, all the way to the bed, and fell down.

At this moment, another figure walked out from behind the screen.

That person was Luo Mian.

When the candlelight completely illuminated his face, Concubine Zhao's face turned pale.

"you……"

"Ghost... ghost..."

Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat. She was so scared that she couldn't utter complete syllables. She took several steps back and shrank to the corner of the bed.

Xia Zhi turned his head suddenly, shocked.

"Miss?"

"You...why are you here?"

Shen Runing took a few steps closer, stopped, and looked at Concubine Zhao expressionlessly.

Shen Runing recently received a secret letter from Concubine Jing, saying that Concubine Chunhong was pregnant and promoted to Concubine Zhao, and that she had ulterior motives.

Then I learned the news that Liu Qing was arrested.

Mu Shanyunshui went to the Heavenly Prison, and she and Luo Mian came here.

Shen Runing hates betrayal the most.

Even the betrayal of a chess piece is not acceptable.

"Just now, I begged Concubine Jing to save you with tears in my eyes."

"After becoming pregnant, you're already crossing the river and destroying the bridge, vainly trying to 'hold the emperor hostage to control the princes'?"

She shook her head and scoffed.

"You, you..."

"You gave me a way to live, but you refused to leave."

Concubine Zhao had not yet recovered from the huge shock.

Her tiny brain couldn't fathom why there were two Shen Runings? Why could Luo Mian be brought back to life?

Perhaps they heard the frightened sound of Concubine Zhao in the house, so the two imperial guards outside knocked on the door.

"Empress Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Fei's desire to survive seemed to be ignited in an instant. She struggled to get up and screamed.

"help me--"

Luo Mian leisurely took out a dagger.

The moment two imperial guards pushed open the door and came in.

The two men's heads fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out like a waterfall.

"what!"

Concubine Zhao screamed.

Zhao Fei's personal maid Zhen Guo suddenly rushed over and covered her mouth with her hands.

Concubine Zhao struggled, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

Shen Runing frowned and glanced at the precious fruit.

She didn't recognize this maid.

Luo Mian slowly approached Shen Runing, put his arm around her waist, and handed her the bloody dagger with the other.

Shen Runing glanced at the dagger, smiled faintly, and took it.

Then he slowly approached Zhao Fei who could only make a "woohoo" sound.

He leaned over and looked down at her.

"Empress Zhao."

Shen Runing spoke softly, a smile on her lips.

"Remember, take me to say hello to the King of Hell."

As the words fell, the dagger cut through the air, sharp and silent.

"puff--"

A hideous bloody wound suddenly appeared on Concubine Zhao's neck, and hot blood splashed on Shen Runing's face.

Concubine Zhao only had time to utter a few broken gurgling sobs before her pupils slowly dilated.

Zhenguo seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant. He collapsed to the ground, huddled up in a ball, not daring to look at the corpse.

Shen Runing stood up straight, his expression calm.

Turning around, I was met with a pair of gentle and deep eyes.

Luo Mian smiled.

He reached out and gently wiped away the remaining blood for Shen Runing with his fingertips, his movements extremely gentle.

"Ning'er."

"You and I are becoming more and more alike."

The voice was full of doting.

Then he leaned in close and whispered in her ear.

"Is it because we kissed too much?"

Shen Runing was startled, her ears turned red instantly, and she quickly turned her face away.

Such ambiguity, in a bedroom littered with corpses, seemed absurd and...

It's extremely heart-warming.
