More than a dozen imperial physicians consulted until the middle of the night. Finally, the doctor apologized to the graceful and noble woman, "My condolences, my wife. I'm not skilled enough and can't do anything."
Huarong was far away and couldn't hear the doctor's words, but she could tell from the doctor's sorrowful expression that there was no hope.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the woman aggressively rushed to Huarong and raised her hand to hit her. Wu Chenglu immediately stepped forward to stop her, "Madame Duke! This is the Princess of Minhui! "
"The Crown Prince is dead, but she's still fine! How can I take this lying down! " She glared at Huarong. Her well-maintained face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of grief. She was not as incompatible with Zhao Han-chul as Huarong heard.
Huarong took two steps back. She owed Zhao Han-chul, but not this woman. She didn't raise Zhao Han-chul and was just a stepmother in name.
After taking two steps back, she bowed deeply and turned to leave without saying a word.
"What the hell! Big Brother died for her. Look at her! She doesn't have the slightest gratitude. Ungrateful! "
"That's right. She's too heartless. How can such a person deserve the title of Princess?"
"I don't know what tricks she used to deceive the Emperor to reward her again and again."
"As the saying goes, all businessmen are evil. She knows a lot of evil tricks."
Hua Rong heard every single word that was said. She slowly turned around and glanced at him. Her eyes were so cold that they seemed to be wrapped in knives.
"Whether I deserve it or not, the Emperor has the final say. This Princess was bestowed by the Emperor. How dare you be dissatisfied? It's a big crime to disobey the Emperor's will. The Crown Prince is not good, and the future of the Duke's Mansion depends on the Emperor's will! I advise you to be careful with your words! The Emperor is wise and powerful, but not muddle-headed! "
Then she smiled coldly, "It's no fun to overdo it."
After that, he didn't stay and went straight back to the Gu family. Shuxiu and Zhu Liu were also injured. Their injuries were not lighter than Zhao Han-chul's.
By the time they returned to the Gu family, it was already after midnight. It was the darkest time before dawn, but the Gu family's house was brightly lit. Gu Weikai was personally guarding the two people's beds. You Clan was calling in batches of doctors.
"Uncle, how is it?" Huarong asked softly.
Gu Weikai shook his head. "Anin, did you offend someone recently?"
After hearing the bad news today, he had been thinking about this matter. Although the Gu family's business was big, they had always been amiable and never ate alone. Their table manners were not bad either, so they would never attract such a fatal disaster.
Huarong shook his head. "No."
Gu Weikai naturally did not doubt her. Although this niece of his was mischievous, she knew her limits. Could it be that she was implicated by Zhao Han-chul?
Just as she was about to ask, Huarong suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be Consort Xian?"
"Do you have a grudge against Consort Xian?"
Huarong was stunned. Right, did she have a grudge against Consort Xian? It seemed that she did not. Then why did she say those words?
Higashito? Why did Higashito give her that pendant?
"Uncle." In a flash, Huarong suddenly remembered what he had encountered in the Jiang family. "Could the assassin be in cahoots with the person who ordered Jiang Hanchun to assassinate me?"
Gu Weikai slapped his forehead. "That's right, they must be in cahoots. The Emperor made you a princess, so it was clear that he would not let you enter the palace. You would not hinder Consort Xian, so she had no reason to kill you."
"Wen? Could it be the Wen family? "Huarong continued." But why would the Wen family do this? We didn't get in their way. "
"I still feel that it has something to do with the Crown Prince. You should stay away from him in the future." Gu Weikai said.
Huarong did not speak. He was afraid that he would not have a chance in the future.
Just as he was sighing, the butler, Gu Zhong, rushed in excitedly. "Master, Master, good news, good news!"
Gu Weikai frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Master, Miss, look who's here!" Gu Zhong moved his fat body aside to let the thin old divine doctor into everyone's sight.
"Divine doctor!" Huarong was pleasantly surprised. She was so excited that her heart was thumping. She got up and ran over, bowing deeply. "Divine doctor, please save them!"
"Are they completely dead?" the divine doctor asked indifferently. His voice was cold and distant, very different from when they had first met.
Huarong did not care about anything else, but she did not know how to answer.
"I won't save them if they are still alive." the divine doctor said again.
Gu Weikai immediately nodded. "They will be completely dead soon. Divine doctor, please be kind and save these two poor children."
The divine doctor glanced at Huarong. With this person here, who could be more pitiful than Xi Shi?
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the scene when Xi Shi first met this person.
The Divine Temple was majestic and inviolable. It was the most unreachable place in Cang Tian. All the people had to bow down to it. However, her favorite unicorn had a bad temper. It ran into the jade palace in a fit of anger. She chased after it with a feather duster that she had obtained from somewhere. The entire Divine Temple was in chaos.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Priests kept it a secret. The Divine Temple and her were still as sacred and inviolable as the sky.
That day, Xi Shi fell ill at the foot of the Divine Mountain. She was just passing by the unicorn when it naughtily opened its mouth and took Xi Shi away with it.
The man and the beast were tired of chasing and collapsed by the stream. Coincidentally, Xi Shi woke up, so he caught up with her, panting.
"Hey, you're from the Three Lower Realms?" Her eyes were clear and bright. People from the Upper Bound usually talked about the Three Lower Realms with disdain, but she did not. She was very calm.
Perhaps her gentle temperament was too obvious, so Xi Shi stared at her blankly.
Xi Shi had always been a man of few words, so he did not answer.
"Your illness … I'm afraid you won't live past 20 years."
Even in Cang Tian, very few people could see through Xi Shi's illness at a glance. She was young, but she could see through his illness. She was very skilled.
"May I know who you are?" He walked over and bowed respectfully.
"I can't save him." She knew what he was thinking and said frankly that she could not save him.
Then she poked Xi Shi's arm. "What's your name? Although I can't save you, I can let you live for another 20 years. "
"Longevity," Xi Shi answered. "The person who named me hoped that I would live forever." He said a few more words for the first time.
"Longevity, the world is everlasting. Even gods can't live forever. How can people from the Three Lower Realms be able to live forever? Why don't I change your name to Cherish Time? Cherish every moment of your life. Even if you don't waste your life, you can still live a long life. "
"Okay." Xi Shi liked this name very much. A shy smile appeared on his expressionless face. "What's your name?"
"Me …" Her black and bright eyes moved, then she looked distressed. "I don't have a name. They all call me Your Majesty."
She was born to be the empress of Cang Tian! Naturally, no one deserved to be named after her. Xi Shi was a greenhorn. He thought that since Her Majesty had named him, he should repay her.
"You're surrounded by peace and tranquility. Why don't we call you Anin?"
