Qiao Rong opened his eyes slowly. The person he first saw was Consort Shu who was now looking at him directly agitatedly. Continue with the view of the room as usual.
"Y-mother?" Qiao Rong blinked his eyes. His head was in great pain and the flow of qi in his body was weak.
"Rong'er, Rong'er, can you see me?" Concubine Shu grabbed Qiao Rong's two hands and grasped them tightly.
Hearing that, Qiao Rong gave a small nod.
Qiao Rong had just wanted to try to get up, but his entire body was aching and aching. Concubine Shu who had wanted to help her daughter swiftly helped Qiao Rong slowly as the attempt to get up failed.
"Slow down, your body is still weak." Consort Shu said.
Qiao Rong could see Consort Shu's puffy eyes. In his heart, Qiao Rong felt extremely lucky at life this time around.
A lady-in-waiting approached Consort Shu with a tray containing a bowl. The bowl was filled to the brim with a thin, brownish-red liquid.
Concubine Shu grabbed the bowl from the tray and started stirring the medicine with a spoon.
Finally it was Chu Yue who helped Qiao Rong to sit on the bed.
Concubine Shu scooped up a bit of medicine and fed Qiao Rong slowly.
After the drug was exhausted by Qiao Rong, Consort Shu questioned her daughter about the cause of her unconsciousness.
"Rong'er, what exactly happened? Why did you pass out like that? The palace physician doesn't even know what happened to you." Consort Shu's worried face reappeared.
"I don't know either..." Qiao Rong furrowed his brows. He had to ask the boy, Li Junyan, but somehow Qiao Rong could not feel the energy from the current Yin Yang Book.
Seeing Qiao Rong's expression, Consort Shu could only sigh and tell the girl to rest more.
"Are you forced by the Emperor to marry the Moon King?" Concubine Shu asked without further ado to Qiao Rong after a while.
Hearing such a question, Qiao Rong simply smiled.
"No Mother, the Moon King was not like in the rumors. He's not mean, just doesn't know how to love someone." Talking about the man, Qiao Rong became curious as to what Shen Haofeng was doing now.
"Then.. I can relax." Concubine Shu sighed. However their conversation was not finished when Chu Yue suddenly told Qiao Rong, "Your Majesty, but the Moon King has left..." The girl suddenly said.
"Aah?" Qiao Rong furrowed his brows for the second time.
"There was news from the aide of the Moon King that he went for the affairs of the sect in a hurry." Qiao Rong felt somewhat disappointed. They had just spent a few days since the man's arrival to the Wen Kingdom. Now you have to leave because of responsibility, how else?
Qiao Rong could only sigh. Seeing Qiao Rong's disappointed face, Consort Shu was convinced that their engagement had not intervened at all from the Emperor.
Concubine Shu grabbed Qiao Rong's hand, "It's okay, he'll definitely be back soon." Consort Shu said with a smile.
Qiao Rong simply nodded.

"Can't go in you say?" The Empress was now pacing anxiously in front of the door of the Emperor's room. Upon hearing the news that the Moon King would be engaged to Princess Rong, the Empress immediately rushed to the Emperor.
But once he got to the door of the Emperor's room he was not allowed to enter and was blocked by Head Eunuch Qi. The Empress was certainly very upset. Is there anything the Emperor would not want to do?
"Sorry, Your Majesty, the Emperor is not unwilling to see you, but he is feeling unwell." Clearly Head Eunuch Qi. Head Eunuch Qi kept trying to smile even though he was actually tired of dealing with the Empress from an hour ago.
"I can't believe it! If it wasn't the Emperor himself speaking I wouldn't believe it!" The empress snapped at Eunuch Head Qi violently.
Head Eunuch Qi could only endure the annoyance and sigh.
The Empress felt very agitated and half-dead. For hundreds of years there had never been a King from the three great sects who had a wife from among the royal family.
It was true that the King of the three sects could not interfere in the matters of the kingdom, but wasn't there no rule that their wife could not become Emperor?
Wouldn't he be able to defeat his son so easily? The Queen could not let that happen. Although he knew for sure the Emperor would reject his request outright, but the Empress still wanted to try. He wanted to change the Emperor's mind. But who knew that wanting to see the Emperor alone would be this difficult?
The queen grumbled in annoyance.
Just before he started to clamp down on Head Eunuch Qi again, an extremely familiar voice loudly snapped at him sounded from inside the room.
"Who is so presumptuous?!!!" Instantly, the Empress and the entire lady, as well as the Chief Eunuch Qi who was there heard the voice, immediately lowered his head in fear.
The queen clenched both of her hands. Qiao Rong, that girl, had known for a long time that someday she would bring bad luck to him.
*****
"Fainted?" Concubine Wu sounded quite surprised after receiving the news from her ladyboy head. Who would have thought that Princess Rong who was so arrogant lately had fallen unconscious just like that in her room? Isn't that weird?
Consort Wu sipped her tea slowly.
Although Qiao Lan was only a tool in his eyes, the child was still his daughter. It was a pity that Qiao Lan was not born as a man. So Consort Wu had to bother taking care of Prince Qin as well.
Now that the tool is gone, he must still think of other ways to get the throne of the kingdom.
What upset Consort Wu, however, was the fact that the one who pushed her daughter to death was none other than Prince Qin, the child she had taken care of herself.
Concubine Wu thought that Worm Gu would make Prince Qin even more submissive, who would have thought that he would even become a dissident child?
Consort Wu deeply regretted that.
His entire life, Consort Wu only wanted one thing to materialize. The reason he had been by the Emperor's side for decades.
Now that Prince Qin, one of his tools had also gone missing, and entered the list of people he had to get rid of.
"Fanfan." Consort Wu called someone's name.
From behind the closet came out a middle-aged woman who immediately bowed respectfully to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The woman was wearing an all-black shirt, with a veil that made her face impossible to see.
"How many Gu Worms are left?" Ask Consort Wu.
"Hamba has already collected some new Gu Worms from the North. There are five in total, two are still developing and should be fed regularly." Replied the middle-aged woman who had been called 'Fanfan'.
Consort Wu sighed.
"You've been following me for so long.. Once this revenge is over, I promise I'll give you freedom." Consort Wu said softly.
The middle-aged woman simply nodded.
"His Majesty's happiness is the happiness of the servant as well. If Your Majesty is happy, so am I. I will always be by His Majesty's side."
Hearing the woman's reply, Consort Wu smiled in satisfaction. Then the woman again disappeared from before Consort Wu.
For years, he endured disgust whenever he had to serve the Emperor. Resist nausea when the cursed man touches his body with his disgusting fingers.
Consort Wu will never, ever be able to conceive the boy.
But who would have thought she was pregnant? He could not even hold back his disgust for the child he had in his life. He's aborting. It was not his son, it was the Emperor's son.
Therefore, Consort Wu also killed the physician who examined her pregnancy. He hires a man from a brothel, and in exchange, the man receives the honor of being the father of the daughter they call the greatest Princess of the Emperor. Princess Lan.
Consort Wu now walked quietly towards the window, looking at the nightingale that was sounding melodiously on the tree branch, she felt so calm.
In a moment..
