âHer Highnessâ health isnât particularly good. She only woke up for a while today, but she quickly fell asleep again.â Hua Hong was very worried about Empress Qinâs body, so she naturally couldnât care less now. Qin Huai took out something from his pocket. It was the medicinal catalyst made by the Golden Rain Worm. âGive this to her to take first. Weâll talk about the rest tomorrow.â
After Hua Hong received the item, she didnât dare to bring it in for Empress Qin to use.
âWhy? Are you afraid that iâll poison her? With her current state, even if she doesnât get poisoned by me, she might not be able to live until dawn.â Qin Huaiâs eyes were filled with sarcasm.
When Lu Liu heard the commotion, she walked out and looked at Qin Huai, who was standing there stubbornly. She said in a low voice, âYoung Master, why are you so aggressive? Donât you already know that the Empress isnât really heartless? All these years, the Empressâs feelings for youâ¦â
âLu Liu⦠cough, cough, coughâ¦â Before Lu Liu could finish speaking, a cough came from the house. It was Empress Qinâs weak voice.
Hua Hong and Lu Liuâs expressions changed as they walked into the house.
Hua Hong held the bottle in her palm and did not intend to let Empress Qin use it for the time being. She had to find someone to check if there was anything harmful in this bottle.
Recently, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital had often been tortured by the people from the Empressâs Palace and Emperor Minghua. They, who were staying in the Imperial Hospital, would be picked out from their beds from time to time and asked to take Empress Qinâs pulse.
As time passed, the Imperial Physicians became weak when they walked. All of them didnât rest well, so they returned home every day and no longer stayed in the Imperial Hospital. They were willing to walk for four more hours every day.
This was because the imperial physicians all knew that only by finding a medicine that could treat Empress Qinâs illness could the illness be cured. Everything else could only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It would never be enough to save Empress Qinâs life.
Moreover, if they were not careful, he might be dragged away by Emperor Minghua to be buried with her.
Of course, all the imperial physicians knew that this was just what Emperor Minghua said. It neednât be taken seriously.
It was already late at night, and it was no longer easy to find anybody in the Imperial Hospital.
âIs Huaiâer outside?â Empress Qinâs body was already as weak as a feather, as if she could fall apart if she said it with a louder voice.
Lu Liu: âYoung Master brought you medicine and is still standing outside waiting.â
Empress Qin nodded and looked at Lu Liu weakly. âWhere is the medicine?â
Lu Liu looked at Hua Hong, indicating for her to take it out, but Hua Hong took a step back.
âIâll go and check first.â
She did not trust this Young Master Qin Huai very much. It was not that she was afraid that Qin Huai would poison her, but she was afraid that this medicine would be useless and would even worsen Empress Qinâs condition. At that time, not only would they not be able to save the Empress, but her illness might even become more serious.
But Empress Qin insisted on extending her hand.
Although Hua Hong was hesitant, she did not dare to disobey Empress Qin. She could only hand over the bottle in her hand. Without looking, Empress Qin opened the stopper and downed the contents in one swift gulp.
After a while, Empress Qin clutched her chest, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
Hua Hong panicked. âYour Highness!â
âYour Highness, are you alright?â Lu Liu went forward and supported Empress Qin.
Empress Qin waved her hand. âThe medicine Huaiâer brought is good. I feel that my body is much lighter.â
Her gaze was faint as she felt the heart-wrenching pain in her chest. For a moment, she thought about many things.
So this was the pain that Huaiâer had to endure every day for the past few years.
Shared Fate Gu, Shared Fate Gu. Every time Qin Huai suffered, she would suffer as well.
However, in the past, this pain was suppressed by her internal force and true qi, and it had never been too intense.
During this period of time, Empress Qinâs body condition declined, and her originally good physique was also destroyed. Thus, she could no longer suppress the pain.
The pain that was left in her body surged over and almost made Empress Qin lose control!
Qin Huai had given her the Golden Rain Worm catalyst medicine so her Gu poison would no longer be controlled. However, the pain from before had to be endured over and over again.
Beside her, when Hua Hong saw Empress Qin trembling in pain, her tears fell like rain. âYour Highness, why are you doing this!â
She held back her tears and immediately ran to the door of the hall, wanting Qin Huai to see how far his mother, whom he had always hated, had gone for him.
But at this moment, other than the cold night wind, Qin Huai was nowhere to be seen at the entrance of the hall..
