The suffocating pain assaulted her once again. She looked into the man's scarlet eyes. His face was so cold that it seemed as if it could freeze a person. It was completely different from his gentle face just now. For a moment, she couldn't tell which one was the real him.
However, it was only for a moment before his scarlet eyes slowly turned pitch-black. Even the large hand that was locked around her neck slowly loosened its grip.
Shen Yueji collapsed into his arms weakly.
The man took her and held her in his arms. His voice was hoarse, and he couldn't calm down after the attack.
"Yueji."
"Your Majesty … Rest well. I'll go to the Imperial Study to deal with official business."
Maybe the suffocating pain was so real that she felt like she was in hell again. Shen Yueji looked at his back as he left, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
...
When Shuang Xi came in, he saw that she was wiping her lips. Her lips were about to break and bleed.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"Summon Master Kong Yin. I want to see him now!"
Shuang Xi didn't know what was going on, but she still did as she was told.
But not long after, she came back and looked at Shen Yueji with a troubled expression. "Your Highness, Master Kong Yin was summoned out of the Imperial Study by the Emperor."
“...”
Shen Yueji thought for a moment. "Then let's go to the Imperial Study."
"Your Highness?"
Shuang Xi looked at her in surprise. "Your Highness, you're still injured. If you go to the Imperial Study now, you'll be suspected."
"It's okay. Ji Chu is in the dark. There won't be a problem."
Thinking of Ji Chu, Shuang Xi felt a little relieved. "Your Highness, I'll help you wash up first."
...
Imperial Study
The door to the secret room opened, and a girl in white lay inside. She had a pale and delicate face. She lay there quietly, lifeless, like a dead person.
To be precise, she was a dead person. If it weren't for the fact that her bones hadn't rotted for months, she would have become a pile of bones.
"Your Majesty, Kong Yin."
Kong Yin pushed the door open and saw the female corpse in the secret room. His eyes darkened, and he knelt down respectfully.
Feng Jiuqing retracted his gaze from the girl's face and looked at Kong Yin who was kneeling not far away.
His eyes were scarlet red, as if they were stained with fresh blood. It was a glaring red, and there seemed to be blood flowing out.
Kong Yin was inwardly alarmed, but his expression was unusually calm. "I wonder why Your Majesty has summoned this official here?"
"When will she wake up?"
"Your Majesty, I can't say for sure. When the time is right, she will wake up, but …"
"I'm just worried that even if … even if the late Empress wakes up, Your Majesty, you'll still kill her."
This sentence caused the man's straight and tall body to shake violently.
He was in a sorry state, as if he couldn't stand steadily. If not for the wall behind him, he would have been able to support himself.
The scarlet in his eyes deepened, almost as if blood was gushing out.
A few drops of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and landed on his bright yellow robe.
"Furthermore, I wasn't lying to Your Majesty when I said those words back then. The late Empress' body is still there, but her soul is gone. Even if she wakes up, she will no longer be the late Empress, regardless of the cost, I don't care who she is, I won't allow her to die! "
"Kong Yin!"
His gentle face had long been replaced by a sharp iciness, like the coldest snow on the top of an iceberg. Just looking at him would make people feel cold, and it would freeze their bones.
