"Your Majesty, how can you hit someone?" Leng Shuang exclaimed.
The emperor stared at Leng Shuang fiercely, and then said: "You dare to contradict me, I will let you try it today, what are the consequences of disobeying me!"
Leng Shuang was thrown to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
The emperor stood in front of her, looked down at her, and said coldly: "How is it? Isn't this feeling good? Don't worry, you will try it soon!"
Leng Shuang lay on the ground, clenching her fists and staring at the emperor with hatred in her eyes.
"What? Do you still want revenge?" The emperor squatted down, grabbed Leng Shuang's hair, and pinched Leng Shuang's neck fiercely.
She struggled desperately, but the emperor's strength was too great, and Leng Shuang couldn't break away at all. Leng Shuang's lung capacity was insufficient, and she was already blushing. She opened her mouth and spat out a few words with difficulty: "No."
…Don’t… kill… kill me!”
"Haha, now you know how to beg for mercy, why did you go there earlier?" The emperor smiled sinisterly, dragged Leng Shuang aside, and finally pressed Leng Shuang on the corner of the table.
Leng Shuang's wrist felt a heartbreaking pain. She frowned and looked at her wrist, only to find that blood had flowed out from there at some point, sliding down her arm and onto her clothes.
The blood dripped on the floor, forming an enchanting and strange flower.
Leng Shuang opened her eyes wide, pushed the emperor away with all her strength, and then staggered towards the door.
"Bang -" As soon as he opened the door, a stone flew towards him. Leng Shuang paused for a moment, then continued to rush forward.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard "click" and "click" sounds from behind.
The sound was like the sound of bones breaking.
Leng Shuang paused for a second, turned around suddenly, and suddenly saw that the man who was sitting on the stool drinking tea had fallen from the chair to the ground. He was holding his right leg, his expression was extremely painful.
"You...what did you do?" Leng Shuang asked confusedly as doubts arose in her heart.
She clearly remembered that she didn't hurt anyone.
"How dare you...how dare you hurt me?" The man looked at Leng Shuang in agony, as if he wanted to eat Leng Shuang.
He stretched out his right hand and pointed at Leng Shuang, unable to say a word.
Leng Shuang looked at the man, feeling a twinge of guilt in her heart, but she felt strange at the same time.
This man must have broken his leg, so why does he look like he's fine now?
Leng Shuang shook her head and stopped thinking so much. She quickly escaped from the palace.
Leng Shuang returned to the mansion and went straight to Gu Tingyu's yard.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
Leng Shuang quickened her pace. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a man sitting on a wheelchair. That figure from behind looked a little familiar.
"Ting Yu." Leng Shuang called softly.
The man in the wheelchair turned his head and showed a handsome and evil smile.
"Are you back?" Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows, and then said to the servant next to him: "Hurry up and bring the food over."
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Tingyu and asked, "Your legs?"
"I'm fine." Gu Tingyu shrugged, and then said to Leng Shuang, "Come here."
"Oh." Leng Shuang nodded, then sat next to Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu took a spoon, filled a bowl of soup, handed it to Leng Shuang, and said gently: "Drink it quickly."
Leng Shuang looked at the bowl of white porridge in front of her and did not refuse. She directly took the bowl and took a big sip.
After eating the white porridge, a warm feeling spread from her stomach throughout her body. Leng Shuang felt very comfortable, so she took another sip, but this time she choked in her throat and started coughing.
Gu Tingyu quickly put down his chopsticks and patted Leng Shuang's back gently to help her calm down.
After a while, Leng Shuang stopped coughing and leaned into Gu Tingyu's arms.
"Tingyu..."
"Um."
"You're so kind." Leng Shuang murmured, then closed her eyes.
Leng Shuang slept peacefully this time. Over the years, she had been worried about her mother's condition, so she could rarely sleep peacefully, but tonight, she finally slept peacefully.
The next day, when Leng Shuang woke up, he found that he was still lying on his bed.
"Miss, miss, are you finally awake?" Qiu He shouted excitedly.
Leng Shuang rubbed her eyes and looked at Qiu He. Her voice was hoarse: "Qiu He, how long have I been asleep?"
Qiu He hurriedly opened the window, letting the sunlight from outside shine on Leng Shuang, "Miss, you have been sleeping for three days."
"Three days?" Leng Shuang's pupils shrank violently, then he propped himself up and prepared to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Qiu He immediately supported Leng Shuang and said, "Miss, your ankle is sprained."
Leng Shuang ignored Qiu He, but resolutely got out of bed and put on her shoes to walk.
Just as he took the first step, Leng Shuang felt a heartbreaking pain in his ankle.
She gritted her teeth and held back, then walked out of the house.
Leng Shuang took a walk in the yard for a while, and her whole body gradually returned to normal. However, she still had some doubts in her heart.
When she woke up just now, even though it was early morning, she saw the emperor's sinister and bloodthirsty eyes.
Leng Shuang couldn't figure out, where did she offend the emperor?
This matter must have something to do with Gu Tingyu, but why did he frame her?
Even if she really hurt the emperor, according to the rules, she should be sent to the Department of Punishment for interrogation. Moreover, this is a palace within the palace and is heavily guarded. Even the emperor's guards may not be able to break in.
Leng Shuang couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it anymore. Anyway, she was not a concubine in the palace, so she didn't have to meddle in so many other things.
Since she promised to save the emperor, she will try her best. After all, she once owed the emperor her life.
This time, Leng Shuang was really determined to cure the emperor.
…………
"Don't worry, the emperor and his friends have their own destiny, and nothing will happen to them. I believe in your medical skills, and you will definitely cure the emperor."
"But……"
"Okay, don't be hesitant, let's eat something first, and you can make the medicine later." Grandma said, opening the food box and taking out a plate of shredded pork with green pepper and a cup of chicken soup.
"This is what the emperor ordered the slave to do." Mammy said with a smile.
Leng Shuang lowered her head and glanced at the chicken soup in front of her, and then at her grandma.
"Mommy, you don't have to be like this, I..."
"You are the one I brought into the palace, so naturally I don't want anything to happen to you." Mammy said with a smile.
Leng Shuang was slightly startled. She raised her head and looked at her kind face. She suddenly felt that maybe she was not so annoying after all.
"Then I'll take my leave first. If there is any news later, I will send someone to send you a message immediately." After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he turned and left.
"Hey..." Nanny still wanted to persuade her to stay, but Leng Shuang had already walked away.
Leng Shuang stood at the door, looking at the imperial paintings with flying dragons and phoenixes on the door plaque, and had mixed feelings in her heart.
She didn't expect that there would be people willing to help her in this deep palace.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she walked into the house. As soon as she sat down, the door was pushed open.
Gu Tingyu slowly walked in from outside, then handed the medicinal materials in his hand to the maid and said, "Put the medicinal materials away."
The maid nodded, put the medicinal materials on the table, and then left.
"What?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and asked in a calm tone.
Leng Shuang raised her head, met Gu Tingyu's gaze, and then asked: "Gu Tingyu, what happened last night? I heard your maid said that you pricked your father with a silver needle?"
"Well, I did do that." Gu Tingyu nodded and admitted.
Leng Shuang frowned, "Why?"
Gu Tingyu had an indifferent smile on his lips, looked at Leng Shuang with a half-smile, and then said slowly: "Because he deserves to die."
Leng Shuang was startled, then stared at Gu Tingyu and asked, "Do you know what you are going to say?"
"What do you think?" Gu Tingyu asked Leng Shuang, "Can I still be wrong?"
"But he... what happened to him that made you hate him so much that you even wanted to kill him." Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu in disbelief.
A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Gu Tingyu's mouth, and then he said coldly: "He deserves to die."
Leng Shuang opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end she swallowed it. She was silent for a long time, and then said: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask."
"Um... I want to ask who instructed you to assassinate the emperor."
Gu Tingyu's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stared at Leng Shuang and said word by word: "Leng Shuang, what do you mean by this?"
Leng Shuang shook her head helplessly and said, "Gu Tingyu, in fact, you have already guessed it over the years, right?"
Gu Tingyu pursed his thin lips and looked a little cold.
"You clearly know that the relationship between the emperor and me is brother and sister. It is impossible for me to do such a thing as treason and regicide. I was wronged and there is no way I could kill the emperor."
A bitter smile appeared on Leng Shuang's face, "Over the years, I have been serving you, and your attitude towards me has become worse and worse. And although the emperor, although he loves me on the surface, he always remembers me in his heart.
You have a grudge against me, so you want to get rid of the emperor at all costs."
"You're talking nonsense!" Gu Tingyu's voice was hoarse. He grabbed Leng Shuang's collar and said with red eyes: "Leng Shuang, I will not allow anyone to slander me. I, Gu Tingyu, walk and sit upright.
, absolutely never killed anyone.”
Leng Shuang smiled and said, "Do you think I'm framing you?"
"Isn't it?" Gu Tingyu said angrily, "Did you know? The Emperor is unconscious now, and my mother-in-law has been sentenced to death by the Emperor. The only person who can save me now is the Emperor, but I can't do anything about it.
Save him so that I don't have any leverage to compete with the prince."
Leng Shuang sighed and said: "You want to save the emperor, but have you ever thought about me? I am also a woman, and I also need my husband's love."
Gu Tingyu's body stiffened for a moment, then he let go of Leng Shuang, turned his back, and said in a sad voice, "Do you want to marry me?"
Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Impossible, I already have a child."
Gu Tingyu closed his eyes and gently clenched his fists, trying to control his inner anger.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Gu Tingyu, I advise you not to mess around, otherwise you will also be implicated."
Gu Tingyu opened his eyes and looked at Leng Shuang, "I will not marry you."
"Then why do you let me take the risk to detoxify you?" Leng Shuang said angrily: "Gu Tingyu, I am your maid, I work for you, I don't want you to give me any good reward, I just want
If you can survive, can you not do this?"
Gu Tingyu snorted coldly, then looked at Leng Shuang and said: "Leng Shuang, you have to understand that the emperor's life is in your hands now, you'd better cooperate with me obediently."
Leng Shuang took a deep breath, and then said: "Well, I can promise you that as long as I can get the antidote, I will help you rescue the emperor."
Gu Tingyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good."
After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he walked outside. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned to look at Leng Shuang, and said, "You are not allowed to leave the yard during this period."
"What?" Leng Shuang suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Tingyu, her eyes widened, "Why can't I get out of the yard? I still need to find an antidote." This chapter has been completed!
