Chapter 53: I won't live long
Prime Minister Mu still did not stand up and lowered his head deeply, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the entire Ming Yue Kingdom and will support the most suitable person to take office. I have lived a long life and devoted all my life to
Ming Yue Kingdom will definitely not make mistakes this time."
After finishing speaking, Prime Minister Mu knelt on the ground without saying a word, waiting for Mo Qingyue's answer.
Mo Qingyue was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Prime Minister Mu, since you think so, you must have already thought of a countermeasure. I would like to ask the Prime Minister, what should I do next?"
In order to test Prime Minister Mu's mind, Mo Qingyue pushed the question to Prime Minister Mu.
"Your Majesty, if you agree, I think it's better to ascend the throne as soon as possible without further delay! Now that the Prince is popular among the people and the people in the palace are uneasy, it's the right time to ascend the throne." Understanding Mo Qingyue's intention, Prime Minister Mu raised his eyebrows.
He started with a determined look on his face.
From Prime Minister Mu's eyes, Mo Qingyue saw firmness and determination.
Mo Qingyue finally nodded and said: "Okay, then just follow what the Prime Minister said and ascend the throne as soon as possible! I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Prime Minister Mu, for the rest of the matter. Most of the civil and military officials belong to you, Prime Minister Mu."
Disciple, I believe you will handle it well."
After finishing speaking, he bent down and personally helped Prime Minister Mu up.
"Prince, don't worry, this matter will be left to me." Prime Minister Mu stood up, but still lowered his head and said.
In his heart, he could never get over that hurdle.
Mo Qingyue felt a faint expectation in his heart, and asked with imperceptible anxiety: "Prime Minister, where is Ling'er now..."
"I will ask the maid to take the prince there." Prime Minister Mu waved, and immediately a maid came over and led Mo Qingyue through the garden and towards the backyard.
The lights in Mu Ling'er's room were still on, and her graceful figure could be vaguely seen from the window.
For some reason, Mo Qingyue suddenly felt a little nervous. He took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
"You're finally back." As soon as he walked into the room, he heard Mu Ling'er's faint voice. She was sitting at the table and didn't even look back.
Mo Qingyue paused, put away the strange feeling in his heart, walked up to her, and said in a calm voice, "The Prime Minister said you want to see me, right?"
After he finished speaking, he secretly regretted that this was not what he originally wanted to say.
"Your Majesty, my father must have told you just now. He will fulfill everything you want, and you will soon become the emperor of the Ming Yue Kingdom." Mu Ling'er finally raised his head and looked quietly in front of him.
Mo Qingyue, whom I haven't seen for more than a month.
After a month of fighting at the border, Mo Qingyue's originally fair skin turned into a bronze color, and his originally dark eyes were more like shining agate, so gorgeous that people couldn't take their eyes away. His face was originally
He is already unparalleled in beauty, and now he is even more charming.
Mo Qingyue's heart sank, and he looked down at Mu Ling'er, his voice becoming colder and colder, "You brought me here just to tell me this?"
"Actually, what I want to tell the prince is that he will get everything he wants, including the throne and his sweetheart. After the prince gets everything, I have only one request, and that is to let me go." Mu Ling'er
Her beautiful face was full of determination.
Mo Qingyue was shocked, and his handsome face immediately turned cold, and his tone left no room for negotiation, "Don't even think about it, I, Mo Qingyue, will never allow my princess to wander outside with my child.
of."
"Mo Qingyue, you are wrong." Mu Ling'er looked straight at Mo Qingyue, as if she wanted to see through his whole being, "I am not pregnant with your child. The reason why I said that is just to let you win the battle."
That’s it. Since you have returned triumphantly now, there is no need to lie to you anymore!”
Mo Qingyue's face suddenly changed color, his eyes were full of suppressed anger, and he shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about? You lied to me about having a child! But, this is what the emperor told me, he
How could you lie to me?"
The belief that originally supported him in fighting at the border collapsed almost in an instant.
"Mo Qingyue, the person you have in mind is Shangguan Youlan. This is something you and I both know. Since you will soon be the emperor of the Ming Yue Kingdom, you will naturally kill and seize it. You can have anything you want, including you.
My sweetheart. There is no relationship between the two of us in the first place, so why are we bound together because of our ongoing engagement?" Mu Ling'er's tone was indifferent, with deep helplessness in her eyes.
Since two people can only hate each other when they are together, why do they have to be tied together?
Mo Qingyue's eyes were angry at first, then surprised, and soon turned cold, "You didn't marry into the palace voluntarily, you were just forced by the marriage contract. You are right, we are just looking at each other together.
If we continue to be together, we will only become more disgusted with each other. I originally thought that you had my child, so I wanted to be with you. Since this is just a lie, then I don’t need to blame myself, it’s up to you!
"
After finishing speaking, Mo Qingyue left Mu Ling'er's room coldly without stopping at all.
After staring at Mo Qingyue's back until his figure gradually disappeared, Mu Ling'er slumped down on the table, her eyes burning with pain.
In this life, Mo Qingyue will never know her true thoughts. All he cares about is the throne and Shangguan Youlan.
Mo Qingyue insisted on the engagement with her because he thought she was the apple of Prime Minister Mu's eye. Now that what he wanted would soon come true, he would naturally not need her anymore.
Mu Ling'er tried her best to restrain herself, but she felt bitter tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and no matter how much she wiped them, it didn't work.
Is this really what she wants?
She didn't know that Prime Minister Mu was standing outside the door, looking at her worriedly, but he didn't dare to come in rashly. He knew Mu Ling'er's current mood, but he didn't know how to persuade her.
At the same time, the news coming from the palace made people increasingly worried.
Mo Zhengxuan's condition was very pessimistic. Many imperial doctors checked for a long time, but could not find anything wrong. However, Mo Zhengxuan's condition became more and more serious. At the beginning, he coughed up blood occasionally, and later he coughed up blood.
It happens more and more frequently, and every time it scares the people around me.
In Shangguan Youlan's palace, an imperial doctor stood in front of Shangguan Youlan, with a look of fear on his face.
"When I asked you to take the medicine, you said that the medicine is colorless and odorless and will take a while to take effect. But why do I feel that something is not right?" Shangguan Youlan played with a piece of fine jade.
A pair of beautiful eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
According to the prediction of the imperial doctor, if Mo Zhengxuan continued to take this medicine, he would have symptoms of discomfort in the third month. However, this was only the second month, and Mo Zhengxuan's condition seemed to be getting worse and worse.
Seriously, this made Shangguan Youlan suspicious.
The imperial doctor trembled all over and stammered: "Hui, back to the empress, I don't know what's going on. Maybe, maybe everyone's physical condition is different, so it's not as expected.
There are differences."
In fact, the current situation was unexpected by the imperial doctor, but he did not dare to say anything because he was afraid of Shangguan Youlan, so he had to find an excuse in panic.
"In the past few days, the imperial doctors have been coming and going, but they can't find out what disease the emperor has. I am very satisfied with this. However, if this situation continues, how long can the emperor live?"
After pondering for a while, Shangguan Youlan finally asked this question.
A hint of sinisterness flashed across her face.
The imperial doctor knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in fear: "Back to your Majesty, I really don't know. If this matter is discovered, it will definitely be a serious crime of beheading!"
"You're a worthless thing, and now you've reached this stage, and you're still afraid!" Shangguan Youlan threw the jade jade in her hand onto the table, her eyes full of contempt.
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he was trembling all over, but he did not dare to answer.
"Okay, you go down first. If anything happens, I will look for you at any time." Seeing the frightened look on the imperial doctor's face, Shangguan Youlan waved her hand impatiently and motioned for him to go down.
As if he had been granted amnesty, the imperial doctor hurriedly kowtowed and ran out of the palace.
Jin Yue asked with a worried look: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has always been in good health. Now that he has suddenly contracted this strange disease, the Emperor will inevitably become suspicious. If the Emperor investigates, I'm afraid..."
"I'm with you in everything. What are you afraid of? Come on, prepare the porridge for me. I'm going to see how the emperor is doing now." Shangguan Youlan stood up slowly, twisted her waist and faced
Walked to Mo Zhengxuan's bedroom.
When she entered, she saw Mo Qingyue standing in front of Mo Zhengxuan's bed, looking at him with concern.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better today?" Shangguan Youlan asked softly as she walked to Mo Zhengxuan's hospital bed.
Mo Zhengxuan's face was pale, with sparse green stubble growing on his originally fair face, and he looked extremely haggard. When he saw her coming over, he showed a pale smile and said, "My dear concubine, I am
I have been in poor health for a long time, and I have troubled my beloved concubine to worry about her."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You are sick now. I am so worried that I can't sleep all day long. I eat fast and chant Buddha all day long. I hope that you will get well soon. Your Majesty, I will help you get up and try it.
How does the porridge cooked by my concubine taste?" Shangguan Youlan's face was filled with sadness and worry.
Mo Qingyue watched coldly from the side, but did not speak.
Mo Zhengxuan shook his head, with a pale smile on his face, "My beloved, please don't bother me. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover from my illness, so there's no need to waste any more things."
"Your Majesty, you must never say this, you will definitely get better." Her charming face was filled with disbelief. Shangguan Youlan threw herself beside Mo Zhengxuan's bed, tears already rolling down her charming eyes.
