Mu Jingrui suddenly woke up from his sleep and sat up. The severe pain from his wound made him wake up instantly.
He looked around and the room was filled with joy, but his heart seemed to be cut into pieces.
"My husband, are you awake?"
Yin Yuqing was pouring water for Mu Jingrui at this time. When she turned around and saw him awake, she immediately walked to the edge of the bed and asked softly: "How are you? Do you feel better? The imperial doctor said you..."
"Where is Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Jingrui interrupted Yin Yuqing's words, without any warmth in his dark eyes.
Yin Yuqing was a little scared and replied timidly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has left an hour ago. When he left, he asked me to tell you that he would recover from his wounds with peace of mind, and he would solve other things..."
Before Yin Yuqing could finish speaking, Mu Jingrui lifted the quilt and got out of bed, got up and walked out.
Seeing this, Yin Yuqing hurriedly stopped him.
"My husband, the imperial physician said that your wound is very deep and you must not move around. If it cracks again, it will be difficult to heal."
Mu Jingrui looked down at the wound on his chest, and sadness and helplessness instantly spread throughout his body.
How could his injury be as painful as Shangguan Wanning?
He walked out regardless of Yin Yuqing's obstruction.
"My husband, just listen to the imperial physician. Even if there is any important thing, I will wait until dawn to say it...ah..."
Mu Jingrui impatiently shook Yin Yuqing's hand away.
She caught off guard and staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground, looking at her husband with tears in her eyes.
Mu Jingrui was not interested. He wanted to step forward to support Yin Yuqing, but he stopped after taking two steps.
"You can rest yourself, I have a proper sense."
After that, he left without looking back.
Yin Yuqing stood there blankly, for a long time, burst into tears.
Mu Jingrui came to the Prince's Mansion overnight, and Xiao Yujue was surprised to see him coming.
"Today is your wedding night, why are you..."
"Has the Empress Dowager made a small statement?" Mu Jingrui asked impatiently.
On the way he came, he had made up his mind that if the empress dowager went back on his word, he would go to assassinate the empress dowager.
Anyway, he couldn't save Mu Jingyan, so Shangguan Wanning left him, and he no longer cared about it.
"I was about to send someone to inform you, but half an hour ago, the Queen Mother sent someone to send Xiaoyan back."
"How is she now?" Mu Jingrui asked nervously.
Xiao Yujue's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and sighed heavily. "The situation was not very good. The queen mother cut off her left ring finger, and her wound was ulcerated. In addition, she was worried for so many days and was too scared to get angry.
Still unconscious now.”
"I want to go in and see her."
Mu Jingrui's tone calmed down instead, and Xiao Yujue nodded.
The two of them came to Mu Jingyan's room together. Mu Jingrui looked at his sister who was lying on the bed with a pale face and couldn't help but clench his fists.
In order to save Mu Jingyan, the price for Mu Jingrui was too high.
"I know you feel bad. Don't worry, after Xiaoyan wakes up, I will go to the palace to meet my father and keep the Queen Mother's crimes clear. I believe that my father will make the decision for Xiaoyan. At that time, your difficulties will be
The world is clear. Princess Anning will definitely understand."
Speaking of Shangguan Wanning, Mu Jingrui's fist gradually loosened.
"You go back first, after all, tonight..."
"Your Highness, I want to stay and take care of Xiaoyan tonight."
Xiao Yujue was stunned and patted Mu Jingrui on the shoulder helplessly.
Staying here to take care of Mu Jingyan is just an excuse. In fact, he wants to leave a way out for himself. When he explains with Shangguan Wanning in the future, it can prove that he and Yin Yu have never had the same true relationship as husband and wife.
Xiao Yujue admired Mu Jingrui's infatuation, but also felt sorry for Yin Yuqing.
It was not until noon the next day that Mu Jingyan woke up from his coma.
She opened her eyes and saw her husband and brother standing by the bed, and couldn't help crying.
The days she was detained by the Queen Mother was simply a nightmare that she would never get rid of in her life.
"Xiaoyan, don't cry, it's okay. You're back." Xiao Yujue hugged Mu Jingyan and comforted her softly.
Mu Jingyan held Xiao Yujue's clothes tightly and cried in tears.
"Your Highness, I'm so scared... When I lowered my head, I saw dense snakes... They wanted to bite me... I dare not struggle, I'm afraid to fall... Why, why don't you and my brother come to save me for so long?
I?"
"It's me that I didn't protect you well." Xiao Yujue's hatred for the Empress Dowager increased a little more.
"Brother..." Mu Jingyan's eyes were red and he looked at Mu Jingrui with tears in his eyes, looking very aggrieved.
"Don't think too much, rest with peace of mind. I promise that this will never happen again in the future." Mu Jingrui gently touched his sister's head.
"Your Highness, I have something urgent to report." The eunuch general said anxiously outside the door.
"Come in."
Xiao Yujue asked Mu Jingyan to lie back on the bed, carefully put down the curtain, and the eunuch general walked in.
"What's up?"
"Your Highness, the old slave just received the news from the palace that the Queen Mother... has passed away."
"What?"
Mu Jingrui and Xiao Yujue looked at each other, but they were all over the place.
"When did it happen?" Xiao Yujue asked nervously, "Why did he die suddenly?"
"According to the news from our eyeliner, the time when the Empress Dowager passed away should be midnight last night. She committed suicide by taking poison."
Mu Jingrui suddenly felt dizzy and sat on the stool and rubbed his temples with his hands.
Xiao Yujue was stunned for a while before waved his hand to ask the eunuch general to retreat.
The Empress Dowager committed suicide by taking poison, which was the last and most ruthless revenge against Mu Jingrui and Xiao Yujue.
Especially for Mu Jingrui.
The death of the Empress Dowager means that there is no evidence of Mu Jingyan's imprisonment. No one would believe that the Empress Dowager would use such means to deal with her grandson's wife during her lifetime.
"Jing Rui..."
"The empress dowager is dead, who will prove it to Ning'er?" Mu Jingrui's thoughts were in chaos, his blood rolled again, and his eyes were in black.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution."
Xiao Yujue's comfort seemed pale and powerless. Mu Jingrui shook his head gently and walked out of the room without saying a word.
He looked at the blue sky and remembered the scene of Shangguan Wanning holding a sword to his chest.
They are clearly in love and together, why is it so difficult to be together?
The sudden death of the empress dowager caused a stir in the court. The emperor did not announce the real cause of the empress dowager's death, but only claimed to the public that he died suddenly due to excessive work.
In order to demonstrate his filial piety, the emperor wanted to hold a grand funeral for the empress dowager, mourn the whole country, and suspend government affairs for seven days.
Shangguan Wanning walked on the street, watching the shops on both sides hanging white sails, and the people coming and going were wearing filial piety.
She didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would die so suddenly.
"Don't be sad. The Empress Dowager is old and she is still alright even though she suddenly dies unexpectedly." Sun Jinyao said softly.
