widowed with sickness

It seems that this star is not last night.

That night, the general received news that the emperor, who had not entered the harem for a long time, summoned Zhen Ji.

He sent away the soldiers who urged him to sleep over and over again, and stood in the courtyard all night in a daze, until the sky turned pale, and then dragged his numb legs back to the room.

As expected, the general's condition recurred again.

The emperor was never stingy in this regard, and he was very generous in sending doctors and giving medicines.

However, seeing the servant's wrinkled face with a smile, the general couldn't restrain his disappointment.

Although he didn't intend to seek attention and death, but if the emperor could come and see him...

The general laughed at himself, but couldn't help tightening the hand holding the pillow.

---------------------------------

Maybe it was because he felt the general's entangled mood. Of course, it was more likely that there were too many things at the end of the year, and the emperor didn't linger in the harem. Instead, the lights of the Zichen Palace were lit day after day until late at night.

The general couldn't help worrying about the emperor's health, but he couldn't hold back his face and ran into the palace again.

However, time will not slow down its steps because of the general's hesitation. Finally, before the new year, a big news came out of the palace.

Zhen Ji is pregnant.

-----------------------

The young and promising emperor finally had an heir, and the great news of this day swept away the dull and depressing atmosphere in the capital.

The emperor also took the opportunity to amnesty the world and reduce the tax burden, adding a bit of joy to the coming New Year.

For a while, there was joy inside and outside the palace.

However, who can tell how many ghostly thoughts are hidden behind these smiling faces?

Before the first month was out, the general received another news from the palace.

Zhen Ji died.

-----------------------

"Your Majesty is furious, and ordered a thorough investigation. There is a lot of turmoil in the palace and everyone is in danger, and almost all the nails we put in have been pulled out..."

The general felt dizzy before his eyes, and he staggered a few steps before standing firmly on the table.

The anxious voice of Mr. Staff seems to be ringing in his ears, and it seems to be coming from the distant sky.The general only felt a cloud of paste in his mind, as if a hundred thousand flies were buzzing.

He seemed to be able to see that the fragile balance between himself and the emperor had finally collapsed. After all, they parted ways irretrievably, and even turned against each other—just like all kings and powerful ministers.

No, you can't!

The general's chest rose and fell violently, he rushed out of the door suddenly, got on his horse and went straight to the palace.

Only the staff member was left standing there, unable to recover for a long time.
