Jun Menglan was lying on the bed, the smell of blood filling the air.
After the Huiyang Nine Needles were inserted, she was able to regain consciousness for the last time.
She looked around and saw that there were no two brothers who loved her, nor Junze and the eldest princess who were close to her.
Even the Queen Mother is not here.
There is only the Holy One.
She felt that life was passing by, and the smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and stronger. She obviously couldn't feel the pain anymore, but she was very scared in her heart.
When I thought about hearing what the doctors said while I was in a state of confusion, my tears fell down heavily.
A pair of hands wiped her tears gently, as if they had done it countless times before.
Jun Menglan trembled and choked:
"It's you."
"It's you, right?"
"Why?"
The Holy Sage sighed and said: "Menglan, I have no choice."
Jun Menglan didn't understand why she had no choice. She cried and said: "You are the master of the world, how can you have no choice?"
The Holy Master said: "Sometimes I feel like I am in a dream. When I wake up from the dream, I am still the same Jingxuan who allows others to bully me."
"The higher you climb, the more uneasy you become, for fear of being pulled down and smashed to pieces."
"I often think about what I would be like now if the eldest sister had not stopped in front of Fengtian Palace."
"I'm probably a rich prince, and I play the harp with you."
"Maybe I can have a good night's sleep."
"Or maybe he's still that loser, who can make fun of anyone, but needs to look at people's faces."
"After thinking about it, I feel it's pointless. Now that I'm sitting on the dragon's throne, there's no point in going down."
Jun Menglan said: "I don't understand. Isn't all this what you want?"
During the battle to seize the throne, three princes were abolished and three were established, and all the princes could not restrain their thoughts of replacing him.
Even the eldest princess was pushed to the forefront, and she vaguely wanted to be the first queen of the Yu Dynasty.
Her husband Jingxuan is no exception and has made insidious remarks many times.
Tell her that if another prince succeeds to the throne, he will surely end miserably.
Both the Crown Prince and Prince An looked down upon him, and even Prince Duan, the wine bag and rice bag, usually did not take him seriously.
Maybe he wouldn't even be able to stay in Kyoto, and he would be assigned a barren fiefdom by the new emperor, leaving the capital alone.
In that case, Jun Menglan, as Jingxuan's princess, would have to be separated from the Jun family.
Jun Menglan had a soft ear and couldn't see that her husband was depressed and frustrated, so she persuaded her two brothers.
After the palace coup, Jing Xuan succeeded to the throne as he wished, but everything was different from what he imagined.
She is a queen, and the nuns in the palace told her that she must put the Holy Father first in everything, and she must not be petty, or be jealous of concubines, or...
Every move can be measured with a ruler.
Everything he says and does, he wishes he could be sealed in the palace rules.
The layers of phoenix robes weighed down Jun Menglan so much that she couldn't breathe.
He also had to personally help the Holy Emperor find candidates for his concubines.
Sometimes, Jun Menglan even felt that she was not a queen, but a madam in a brothel.
She was not happy at all, but she was put on a high platform and couldn't get down.
Especially since this path was her own choice. At that time, the two brothers were in a dilemma between their husband and the eldest princess, and finally chose her.
She had to swallow even the shards of glass.
The Holy Father lost four children in a row, and her birth was particularly important, as he was also his legitimate son.
She was pregnant and could not sleep with her, but in order to take care of her emotions, the Holy Spirit did not recruit anyone else to sleep with her. No matter how busy he was with government affairs, he came to stay with her every night.
His Majesty took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation and took very good care of her.
Everyone was praising the Holy Lord for his deep love for her, and even she herself was lost in this unique favor.
For a time, Jun Menglan felt that she was back to the time when she and Jing Xuan had just gotten married.
Having regained the favor of the Holy One and having a child in her belly, Jun Menglan felt happy and contented.
But all this was like a beautiful bubble that was broken on the day of delivery.
Before giving birth, her second brother sent a string of Buddhist beads to the palace. What she was thinking was that when the child was born, she would definitely tease her second brother.
On weekdays, I say I don’t believe in gods and Buddhas, but at critical times, I still put my hope in gods and Buddhas.
She had a stomachache that night, and she felt uncomfortable all night, and finally started in the early morning.
It was five days earlier than the midwife expected, but about the same.
Women's childbirth is inherently full of uncertainty.
But the pain in her stomach came one after another. She cried and prayed that the child would be born safely.
I vaguely heard the imperial doctor saying that she was bleeding heavily and her condition was not good, so she needed to have a caesarean section to remove the baby.
Jun Menglan was so frightened that she called the Holy One desperately, but was told that there was an urgent report from the border and the Holy One went to deal with it.
As a queen, she ordered the imperial doctor to protect the Lord.
The child was gone and she could have another one, but she didn't want to die.
But the imperial doctor did not listen to her, and instead said that the Queen Mother was alive and wanted to protect the child.
Why does the Queen Mother want to protect the child? Doesn’t the Queen Mother even care about the eldest princess?
Before she could come up with a result, the imperial doctor took a knife and cut open her flesh.
The severe pain was like a ferocious beast, swallowing her whole.
Every inch of skin and every bone was chewed to pieces by sharp fangs.
She kept fighting and begging for mercy, but to no avail.
Faintly, Jun Menglan heard the Queen Mother's voice.
I heard the Queen Mother defend herself, and heard the panicked excuses of the imperial doctors.
Hearing the Queen Mother nervously asking the royal doctor to save her life.
Jun Menglan instantly understood that the disembowelment to take out the child was definitely not an order given by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was also being taken advantage of, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted this way.
Before she fell into coma, she thought of the prayer beads in her hand and handed them to the Queen Mother.
If there is something wrong with this string of beads, you can ask the Queen Mother to follow the clues and find the murderer.
If there is nothing wrong with the beads, the Queen Mother can also use this to escape the crime. At least my brother will believe that she is not the Queen Mother.
When I was in a coma, I heard many words hazily, and my consciousness was chaotic but orderly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw that only the Holy One was left in the palace.
There was pity, guilt, and avoidance in His Majesty's eyes.
Everything that was unreasonable made sense.
The only person who could ignore His Majesty's protection for her and attack her, apart from the Queen Mother, was the Sage himself.
The Queen Mother had no motive, and her reaction was definitely not what a murderer should have.
Then there is only one explanation left——
Her bedfellow wants to kill her.
Pain strangled her neck.
Jun Menglan kept asking: "Why?"
The Holy Master said: "Menglan, you have been spoiled by your family since you were a child. Even if I tell you, how can you understand how I feel?"
Jun Menglan's eyes were wet with tears, making her husband's face look so blurry.
It seemed like she had never known this person.
Jun Menglan said: "You said you love me."
It turns out that one's love can be faked?
The veneer of affection was torn apart, and the dirty calculations inside made her despair.
The Holy Sage said: "You are the person I love most in my life."
Jun Menglan shook her head and said: "The person you love most is not me, but yourself."
The Holy One did not refute, but said: "Who doesn't love yourself the most? Even you, when faced with the problem of protecting the elders and children, didn't you cry and ask for medical insurance?"
