Chapter Nineteen: Assassination
I lowered my head and went in, and saw a plainly dressed woman with an old face standing aside. I was wondering, why did you call me here at this time?
"Wenyun, raise your head."
"yes!"
"Wan Jing, look at her, do she look like Luo Yuan?"
The old woman was a little surprised, "Qu Luoyuan! She is Luoyuan, my sister's daughter, Ye Wenyun?"
"That's right. You haven't seen her before?"
"Well, after I left the court, I started eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. I seldom went out, so I didn't recognize girls from other families."
"It's okay to eat fast and chant Buddha's name."
I was confused, who is this acquaintance?
"Wenyun, this is your mother's best friend."
"Hello, madam." This old lady is so plainly dressed, it doesn't look like she came to the palace to meet her, so I'll just use the common title!
"Although Sister Luoyuan is gone, my daughter is still alive and well, so she should be able to rest in peace."
Ke Wanjing bowed to the Queen and said, "The sinful woman has made a mistake."
I thought to myself that I had already called myself a sinful woman, but I still spoke for my mother who was also a sinner. She seemed to know that she had said something wrong, so she could apologize so calmly. It was really strange.
Of course I didn't know at this time that her husband and children had passed away. This sentence could be regarded as a complaint, so I apologized.
"Okay, I asked you to come here today, but I won't punish you. Since we still have some friendship in the past, I will make your journey to the border more comfortable. You can spend your remaining years there."
The Queen has already stood up to leave.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Of course I was too arrogant and didn’t dare to express it.
"Your Majesty, the guilty woman has one more request."
"explain."
Ke Wanjing took a few steps forward, his figure becoming more and more stooped.
Suddenly, she looked like a vicious dog, with a ferocious face, teeth bared, and pounced on the Queen. Her originally thin body became very agile at this moment, as if she had exhausted all her life's strength.
At this moment, the few people closest to the Queen, except Ke Wanjing, are me, Qinghua and Qingye.
Qinghua and Qingye were closest to the Queen. They were quick and pulled the Queen behind them.
And I rushed towards Ke Wanjing and grabbed her arm. Unexpectedly, she was so strong that she dragged me forward.
After this moment, Qinghua and Qingye had not completely blocked the queen, and the crazy Ke Wanjing was still struggling forward. I had no time to think, and I just saw that she was really like a mad dog, with blood-red eyes and bared teeth and claws.
I freed up half of my body and stood in front of Ke Wanjing, blocking her way.
"Ah!" A sharp pain came, and the guard ran over in a few steps and restrained her.
A dispute finally subsided.
I held my shoulder and took a look. Fortunately, the blood wasn't too much, but I was a little dizzy.
"Ask Yun, ask Yun."
I could no longer hear everyone's calls. I felt like I was falling into a hug, and my eyes were filled with bright yellow.
When I woke up again, I had a splitting headache and slowly opened my eyes. Where was I?
By the way, the Queen summoned me, and there was another person. She wanted to assassinate the Queen, but I seemed to subconsciously stop him.
I raised my hand to press my temples, but found that everything in my body seemed heavy and I couldn't lift it.
"grown ups!"
Are you calling me? But I couldn't speak, I could only make hoarse moans.
"Uh~I..."
"Sir, don't worry, I'll call the doctor right away."
It's Zhuqing, she should be here to take care of me.
Didn’t I bleed a lot? How could it be like this? It must be poisonous!
Doctor Zhang is here.
After a long time, he sighed softly. Seeing his expression, Zhu Qing was so frightened that his eyes widened.
But I am used to it. If this person shows such an expression, I probably can still be saved.
"It'll be good if you can wake up. I'll prescribe another medicine. If nothing happens, you can get out of bed and walk in as little as half a month or as long as half a year."
Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you very much!"
"His Majesty has ordered that Mr. Ye must be saved, and I will do my best."
I still wanted to speak, and tried my best to say the words one by one, "I, I,"
"Sir, what do you want?" Zhu Qing looked at me with concern.
"Where."
"Sir, this is the palace specially given to you by His Majesty. You have shielded His Majesty from the poisonous knife. Your Majesty cares about you very much."
"I can still live longer."
Doctor Zhang hurriedly said, "The poison is not serious, your blood has been taken. You can recover after recuperating for a period of time."
"good."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang."
"Sir, you'd better stop talking so much and just have a good rest. Just ask me to do anything."
"I think it doesn't hurt to talk more. It would also be good to ventilate the qi and blood." said Dr. Zhang Hanqing.
I nodded to him.
After Zhang Hanqing left, Zhuqing fed me some sugar water, which was very sweet and I liked it very much.
At night, the queen came.
I think this is very similar to the plot in a TV series. At this time, the emperor would go to the concubine's bedroom to rest.
The Queen is wearing casual clothes. She has not taken off her makeup today, but it seems very soft. In my eyes, she is much less cold than before, but I think it is because of the makeup.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, I can't."
"You don't have to say it, I know. It's all thanks to you this time."
"This is my duty."
"Ke Wanjing, she has been dealt with. The imperial doctor said that she had already taken poison, and the poison developed soon after stabbing you."
I knew that Ke Wanjing was that woman. I looked at the Queen quietly and listened to what she said.
"Actually, Ke Wanjing had a relationship with me and your mother when she was a teenager, and we could be considered people with whom we had a few words. Your mother, Qu Luoyuan, was the oldest. At that time, Ke Wanjing still called her
Sister, Luoyuan is a good person. She was very beautiful at that time, but she inspired everyone, including Ke Wanjing and me."
"Actually, Ke Wanjing has not done anything wrong. She has always done her duty. No one can tell that she is still thinking about such a big deed."
"Perhaps all of this is doomed. From the moment I chose to kill those people, it was doomed. Some people will definitely hate me to the core."
I listened carefully, but I couldn't tell what all this had to do with my mother.
"Actually, at that time, the person I had the best relationship with was your mother. I always didn't want to call her sister, but I respected her from the bottom of my heart. Soon after, your mother fell in love with your father,"
What is the plot of this? It turns out that in this feudal society, my parents are still a couple pursuing true love?
