"Aheng!"
Li Zhao exclaimed, and at the same time he quickly took action to try to stop this self-harming act.
But Li Heng was determined to commit suicide, and the dagger was heading towards his heart. In a hurry, Li Zhao deflected his wrist, and the dagger pierced his shoulder.
With a muffled groan, bright red blood soaked through the brocade robe and soaked the entire shoulder.
The smell of blood filled Wenli Pavilion.
"Ah Heng! Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
"We... will go right away." Eunuch Zhou stumbled out of Wenli Pavilion.
Li Zhao tore off the corner of the black fox cloak and tried to help Li Heng hold down the wound that was bleeding profusely.
Unexpectedly, Li Heng took a few steps back and said, "Brother Emperor, I deserve death. I have no face to face Xingyao, nor do I have the face to face the Emperor's wife. Just let me die."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I believe you, you will definitely not harm the princess."
"No, it's me. I hurt her." Li Heng looked crazy.
"Three years ago, I ran into Jinyun, who had relocated with her family, in the suburbs of Beijing. I helped the Su family find a house to live in. Later, Xingyao found out about this, and she became estranged from me. She moved into Yaohua Garden and never set foot in my room again."
"I went to her house to beg her and swore I would never see Jinyun again, but she wouldn't listen and remained as cold as ice to me. After being ignored by Xingyao for two years, I began to think about making Jinyun my concubine. It was also at that time that Xingyao locked the door of Yaohua Garden tightly, rarely going out, and never letting me in. I was angry, and if she didn't agree, I would not go again. Who could have imagined that this separation would be a matter of life and death."
"Brother, I was blinded by power and my humanity was severed by the gentle world. When Xingyao married me, I was about to be exiled to the frontier. Our wedding banquet was so simple that it was even inferior to that of ordinary people in the capital. My father-in-law and uncle died on the battlefield to save me, and now Xingyao has died in my mansion."
"I have three lives of the Ji family on my hands, my royal brother, how can I still have the face to live?"
Every word is heart-wrenching, and every word reflects Ji Xingyao's sorrow.
Half a year has been wasted, it’s not worth it, absolutely not worth it!
Wen Yuan's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and it was so painful that it was twisted into a ball.
"Royal brother, I want to go down and accompany Xingyao."
Li Heng held the dagger, pulled it out fiercely, and aimed it at the heart again.
This time he failed to succeed. Before the dagger entered his chest, Li Zhao kicked the dagger away.
Li Heng lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The guards who came from outside helped him to sit on the couch. The imperial physician directed everyone to tear off the clothes on Li Heng's shoulders and take out the golden wound medicine from the medicine box and sprinkle it on the wound.
The drug was strong and the severe pain spread from his shoulder to his whole body, but Li Heng seemed to feel nothing and struggled to find the dagger.
Everyone held him down and was exhausted before they could finally apply the medicine.
Wen Yuan watched this suicide farce expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion.
If I had known this, why bother.
It's a pity that the knife didn't pierce the heart.
The strong smell of blood with a unique smell of rust in Wenli Pavilion rushed into Wen Yuan's nostrils violently.
Her stomach began to churn again.
Wen Yuan covered her mouth and swallowed hard. The strong feeling of vomiting made her sweat all over.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoying was the first to notice her abnormality and asked anxiously.
"Help me out." Wen Yuan could hardly maintain her body shape. The smell here was too strong and she couldn't stand it.
"Yes."
Xiaoying helped Wen Yuan walk out of Wenli Pavilion, found an empty side hall, and let her lie on the chaise longue to rest.
Wen Yuan felt uncomfortable whether lying down or sitting down. The urge to vomit that was suppressed in his throat was more intense than before.
She suddenly stood up, ran out of the door, found a flower bed to squat down, and vomited all over the place.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoying was about to cry. "I'll send someone to call the imperial physician."
The imperial physician who had just finished applying medicine to Li Heng had no time to wipe the sweat off his face before he was invited to the side hall.
When Li Zhao heard that Wen Yuan was vomiting again, he followed with a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, let me take your pulse."
Wen Yuan was so exhausted from vomiting that she stretched out her hand listlessly.
There was a sinister look between Li Zhao's brows, and his dark eyes were filled with rage.
His blood-related brother was injured in the shoulder, his beloved concubine was pale from vomiting, and Li Zhao's heart was broken into two.
He clenched his fists until they creaked, feeling annoyed that he shouldn't have considered the sisterhood between Wen Yuan and Ji Xingyao and sent her out of the palace.
If it were in the palace, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things.
"Imperial Physician!" Li Zhao was on the verge of anger, and his majestic voice was icy.
"I...I am here." The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his hair and said tremblingly.
"How is the prince now?"
"Your Majesty, the bleeding on the prince's shoulder has stopped. He needs to rest, but... but..."
"Fuck away!"
"It's just that the dagger injured my bones. I'm afraid I won't be able to lift a heavy sword anymore. Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, the joints between my bones get cold and swell and ache. When it gets irritated, I might not even be able to hold chopsticks."
Li Zhao's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.
Li Heng was no mediocre king, but rather the valiant and skilled Prince of Ruiping. Mastering military tactics from a young age, his agility and swiftness enabled him to wield a long bridle with lightning speed on the battlefield, enabling him to decapitate enemy troops and capture cities lost to the Taifeng Dynasty for decades.
Indeed, without the help of the Ji family father and son, Li Heng would not have been able to capture the city within a year.
But with his ability, if he can't succeed in one year, he will succeed in two or three years.
Such a proud brother has lost one of his arms. As an elder brother, how can I not feel heartbroken?
But now that things have come to this, no one can be blamed.
Li Zhao took a deep breath and put the matter aside for the time being: "What about the imperial concubine? Why does she always feel like vomiting?"
When the imperial physician mentioned this, his previous panic disappeared, and he spoke with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant."
As soon as these words fell, everyone in the side hall gasped.
Li Zhao's breath hitched, as if he didn't understand what the doctor said: "What did you say? Say it again."
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant." The imperial physician said affirmatively.
He was always accurate in taking the pulse of pregnant women and never made a mistake.
These words are like a drop of morning dew falling on a rough jade, and the ethereal music cleanses the depths of the soul.
"Ayuan, you're pregnant with my child. Haha, Ayuan and I are having a child."
Li Zhao was so happy that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He sat beside the chaise longue and gently hugged Wen Yuan: "Ayuan, we have a child."
The familiar sandalwood scent surrounded Wen Yuan. She should have been happy, but she felt as if she was facing a great enemy.
Li Zhao didn't notice the flash of disgust on Wen Yuan's face, joy occupied all his energy.
They had been married for eight years and their married life was normal and harmonious, but Wen Yuan had never been pregnant.
Many previous speculations have now been broken.
Li Zhao's eyes were filled with joy: "Ayuan, you have worked hard. After returning to the palace, I will accompany you every day and watch our child grow up slowly."
Wen Yuan did not respond to Li Zhao's words. At this moment, her head was full of questions.
She is pregnant?
