The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Chapter 363 Soft Heart

The purple bed curtains were gently swaying in the wind coming in from the window, and the dim bedroom felt a little depressing.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, and the wind blowing in through the cracks was also cool, and seemed to be carrying snowflakes.

Everything indicated that it was not the warm early summer, but the deep winter.

Before falling asleep, I heard the Emperor's gentle voice soothing me.

But when I opened my eyes, I saw a completely different scene.

Feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar weakness in her body, Jiang Lingyue blinked slowly.

Having had this experience once before, she was not as shocked this time.

…She seemed to be dreaming again.

Is it because she hasn’t had a good rest for days?

After a few months, she once again came to this world built by the emperor's obsession.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue calmed herself down and tried to sit up by supporting herself on the bed.

Jinshu, who was waiting in the corner, heard the noise and hurried forward, saying happily, "Madam, are you awake?"

The sound was neither loud nor soft, enough for everyone outside the hall to hear.

Soon, several imperial doctors came in.

Jiang Lingyue only glanced outside the door for a moment before Jinshu whispered, "Your Majesty should be back after the morning court session today."

Ever since the Empress fell into poor health, His Majesty the Emperor had sent messengers to deliver memorials to the Changyue Palace for review. Except for attending court sessions, he stayed here with her almost day and night.

Such love and respect will probably be recorded in history books of later generations.

Jiang Lingyue said nothing, but looked around the bedroom and asked, "How many days have I slept?"

Jinshu paused and said, "Two days. Today is the seventeenth day of the first lunar month."

Sleeping for two days...

However, where is the court meeting on the 17th day of the first lunar month?

Jiang Lingyue frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but the imperial physician had already withdrawn his hand from holding her pulse.

"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time and is weak. It is normal for you to be sleepy. You need to take good care of yourself and worry less. A calm mind will bring peace of mind."

As he spoke, the curtain was lifted again and His Majesty the Emperor strode in.

Apparently, he had heard the news that the person inside had woken up. He came back in such a hurry that he didn't even take off his cloak outside the hall. The snow on his shoulders melted quickly in the bedroom heated by the floor heater.

The coldness between his brows suddenly softened when it touched the woman who had already sat up on the couch.

As he walked, he took off his cloak and threw it to Liu Rong behind him.

Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground.

He said, "No need to be polite," and dismissed everyone. He sat down beside the couch and held the frail girl in his arms. "Are you awake? Do you feel better?"

While he was talking, his hands were not idle. He pulled Jiang Lingyue's sleeve, revealing a piece of her fair wrist, and asked Doctor Li, who came back with him, to take her pulse again.

The poison of the immortal drunkenness has always been treated by Doctor Li.

As for other imperial physicians taking the pulse, they can only diagnose whether the patient's body has improved.

Jiang Lingyue was held in his arms, feeling the lingering chill on him. She turned her head to look at him, "Where are you coming from?"

She didn't know where she went, so Jinshu lied to her by saying that she was going to court.

"...Where is Jiang Lingxin?"

She swallowed and said dryly, "What did you do to her?"

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at her, pressed his lips against her forehead, and said nothing.

He waited until Doctor Li finished taking the pulse before his eyelashes moved. "How is it?"

Doctor Li had a worried look on his face, as if he had encountered some kind of problem. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before saying, "The poison of the Immortal Drunkenness can be cured, but..."

"Just what?"

"...but it seems that the Madam's pulse is different from before."

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes turned cold, "Could it be that he has been poisoned again?"

"It doesn't look like poisoning," Divine Doctor Li pondered for a few breaths and said hesitantly, "Perhaps the poison from the Immortal Drunkenness has entered her five internal organs. The Empress had a near-death experience two days ago, which has strained her health and caused her current pulse condition. The most urgent task now is to find an antidote."

Preparations for detoxification have been ongoing.

All kinds of medicinal herbs have been collected, even the blood ginseng has the medicine man Jiang Lingxin.

No one knows what they did to Jiang Lingxin, which not only allowed them to keep her alive, but now they can even develop an antidote directly.

Jiang Lingyue was really curious and wanted to hear what the solution was, but the emperor let go of her, stood up, and led Doctor Li to the outer hall.

When he came in again, he was holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand.

They were so secretive that the bowl of medicine was no longer medicine in Jiang Lingyue's eyes.

Jiang Lingxin's blood, flesh, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs,... I really imagined everything.

She covered her mouth, her face full of resistance, and refused to cooperate, "I don't eat these messy things."

His Majesty the Emperor coaxed her for a few words, but when he saw that she was unmoved, he became a little annoyed, "Yueyue, this is not the time to be petty."

It had been a long time since he had been so fierce to her. Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and said, "Don't be so obsessed. I was already dead. Even if I drank these medicines, even if I cured the poison of the immortal drunkenness, I would not stay here for long."

"The dream I told you about earlier wasn't a dream, nor was it an illusion of a soul detached from the body between life and death. Do you know where I went during those two days of coma?"

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her, "What do you want to say?"

His eyes were calm, yet contained a hint of majesty.

It made Jiang Lingyue feel an inexplicable chill down her spine.

"Tell me," the Emperor said, his lips curling slightly. "Say you want to tell me that you went to another world, that you and I in that world have completely reconciled, that you opened your hearts to each other and confessed your true feelings, and that you will never again look at this world squarely. Is that right?"

"no!"

She said this as if she was a heartless person who gets bored with the old and loves the new.

Jiang Lingyue frowned, "That's not the case."

"What's that like?"

The emperor asked gently, but without waiting for her answer, he held the medicine bowl in one hand and drank a sip himself, then lifted her jaw with the other hand, leaned over and covered her lips, and passed the medicine to her.

Three mouthfuls.

He fed the whole bowl of medicine three times in total.

After crossing the last mouthful, he was reluctant to leave.

I simply pried open her lips and tasted it carefully.

The medicine is very bitter.

A bitter pill to swallow.

But his Adam's apple kept rolling and swallowing.

The breath was unbearably heavy.

Jiang Lingyue's eyes widened unconsciously, thinking of that vinegar-addicted person. The hand on his shoulder suddenly exerted force, pushing him away a little, and said in panic: "No kissing."

No kissing.

...It's him who can't kiss.

The emperor, who had already released her lips as she wished, pondered these four words, a fierce look gradually forming in his eyes. "Why? Who are you going to keep your virginity for?"

The girl who had always been by his side and protected him told him that her soul had gone to another world.

There, she fell in love with another self and stayed with her.

Now, he couldn't even kiss her.

Qi Junyi gritted his teeth and said, "Yueyue, don't go too far."

This is his person, why can't he kiss her?

His murderous desire surged, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was terrifying.

The man who was always calm and composed was so out of control. Fortunately, Jiang Lingyue had experienced a lot in another world, so she was not too panicked.

In fact, she felt a little complicated and didn't know how to face him.

This was 'Qi Hengzhi's previous obsession'.

It is the embodiment of all the pain he felt during the period after losing her.

Because of her persistence in changing the ending where she died of vomiting blood, this world was born.

His obsession was so deep that he summoned her soul back twice.

There is no guilt to speak of.

But Jiang Lingyue was really heartbroken.

After she knew the nature of this world, she thought that if she could come back again, she would definitely hug him tightly.

Hug the emperor who, after losing his beloved, was lonely and desperate, tried every possible means, and finally committed suicide.

Now, she is back, but she doesn't know what to do to relieve his obsession.

Jiang Lingyue's voice choked, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"Sorry for what?"

Qi Junyi looked into her eyes, and those beautiful eyes were full of heartache.

It seemed as if he was her precious lover.

His heart ached, "...Do you love me?"

"Of course!" Jiang Lingyue thought without hesitation.

"Really?" Qi Junyi's smile turned cold, "Is it me that you love?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent, holding his wrist, "Love."

"In my eyes, you are the same person,"

She smiled bitterly, "But you don't seem to think so."

In her eyes, the calm and dignified emperor in front of her was Qi Hengzhi's past and also the proof of his love for her.

There were so many misunderstandings between them in their previous life, and although they were resolved later, they were only in his few words.

The appearance of this world could clearly tell her that what he said was true.

Words were too pale to express how much he loved her.

It also let her know the pain he had suffered.

Perhaps even this is just the tip of the iceberg.

How virtuous and capable she is.

Jiang Lingyue felt like crying. She sniffed and said seriously, "I didn't mean to bully you, nor did I not want to give you a kiss... I'm just afraid that you'll be unhappy in the future."

This is really confusing.

Qi Junyi was stunned, the redness in his eyes gradually faded, and he clasped her hand and asked, "What do you mean?"

"That's right...you in that world is your future self," Jiang Lingyue racked her brains, organized the words, and told him everything she knew and heard from Qi Hengzhi.

She was supposed to have died on the Lantern Festival, but he refused to accept the fact and was obsessed with resurrecting her.

Then, since the dead cannot be resurrected, people try to turn back time.

After failing, he tried to change his fate and ask for the two of them to live again.

And this world was created because the emperor was obsessed with himself and only wanted to resurrect her.

Qi Junyi listened quietly for a long time, then suddenly sneered, "What nonsense! You're just sitting here talking about death."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

"Even if ghosts and gods really do exist, I can't let you be deceived by them," Qi Junyi put his arm around her shoulders and said calmly, "Wait, since there are so many talented people in the world, there will always be someone who can share my worries."

"How could this ghost come to deceive me?" Jiang Lingyue let him hold her, burying her face in his neck. "Qi Hengzhi, you know whether what I said is true or not. Why deceive yourself?"

If the timeline is not consistent, how can everything Qi Junyi said in that world be fulfilled in this world?

If everything is just a dream, whose dream can predict the unknown and answer one's own questions?

She said, "Just now, Divine Doctor Li said that my pulse is different from before. This is because I should have died two days ago. The two awakenings were also because I had just been detoxified and was pregnant. My soul was unstable, so you summoned me. Naturally, my pulse is different from that of an ordinary person."

That's why she said it doesn't matter whether you take the medicine or not.

Because she was not destined to stay here for long.

Even if you ask outsiders to force you to stay, you won't be able to stay.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come.

When Qi Junyi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, "Are you pregnant?"

Jiang Lingyue nodded heavily, "Five months."

She gestured at her abdomen with her hands and smiled at him, "My belly is probably this big now."

In this world, children are still her Achilles' heel that cannot be touched.

This is also the biggest gap between the two.

And now, when talking about the child, the little girl's almond-shaped eyes light up surprisingly.

Qi Junyi stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the arc she drew... It was as if he was really touching the baby in her belly through the air.

His heart suddenly softened, and his dark idea of ​​calling on talented people from all over the world to enter the palace and forcing people to stay by any means necessary began to waver.

"Tell me how he treated you."

Qi Junyi doesn't trust anyone else around her except himself, not even his future self.

In fact, no matter how she answered this question, he would not be happy.

But Jiang Lingyue didn't taste his bitterness at all, and curled her lips when she heard it, "He never calls himself "I" in front of me."

The implication is beyond words.

His Majesty the Emperor was silent.

After a long pause, he opened his mouth, "...Also, how did you get along after your 'rebirth'? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small."
