Chapter 481 Empress Jiuer and Regent Li Mu (9)
Chapter 481 Empress Jiuer and Regent Li Mu (9)
"Young Master..." Xiao Zhao slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a complex expression of confusion, timidity, and unconcealable longing.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Xiao Zhao's face changed, and an indescribable heart-wrenching pain came from the depths of his soul.
The severe pain made her curl up completely.
Immediately, Xiao Zhao's body became somewhat illusory, as if he would disappear from this world in the next moment.
"Xiao Zhao!" Seeing this scene, Li Mu no longer cared about anything else. He quickly stepped forward and was about to reach out to help Xiao Zhao.
At this time, Jun Jiuling's weak voice sounded outside the house, "Li, Li Lang."
Li Mu's outstretched hand paused, and then he saw Jun Jiuling holding the door frame, with sweat on his forehead wet his hair.
'Tick. '
At the ankles, bright red blood dripped onto the ground.
"Li, Li Lang...my...child, our child."
Li Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly stood up, stepped forward and supported Jun Jiuling, and shouted anxiously,
"Quick, go and ask for the doctor."
"Yes... I will go right away."
Behind him, Xiao Zhao rushed out of the house as if nothing had happened, without even bothering to greet him.
Looking at Xiao Zhao's leaving back, Li Mu was stunned, as if he had forgotten something.
Just now he was reviewing the memorials, and Xiao Zhao came to bring him some tea... and then, and then...
"Li, Li Lang, answer, promise me! You must, you must keep our child..."
At this time, Jun Jiuling reached out and grabbed Li Mu's collar. For the first time in such a long time, he called himself "I" in front of Li Mu.
Li Mu shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, held Jun Jiuling's hand and said,
"Don't worry, you and the child will be fine. Believe me, I will, I will."
"Imperial Physician, why hasn't the Imperial Physician come yet?"
Li Mu's eyes were bloodshot and he roared towards the outside of the house.
Soon, Xiao Zhao and the head of the Imperial Hospital were seen running hurriedly from a distance.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty and the Regent."
Ge Peining said this without showing any courtesy. She quickly walked up to the two of them, grabbed Jun Jiuling's hand, and said thoughtfully,
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty is about to give birth. Please move outside the house."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Zhao and said in a commanding tone, "You stay!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Li Mu walked out of the house, he ran into several people head-on.
The left and right prime ministers, General Ying, two vice ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, the female official named Dong, and the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.
"Why are you here!?"
Li Mu frowned slightly, his tone icy cold.
Xia He, the Minister of Revenue, was the first to kneel down, hesitating and saying,
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, do not know..."
She clearly remembered that she had been writing a memorial in the house before, and then she seemed to think of something.
Then he ran to the palace desperately...
He was about to leave, but happened to meet Xiao Zhao who went to ask for the imperial physician. He was worried about the empress's health, so he bravely stayed.
"What a joke! Someone, drag him out and beat him with thirty sticks!"
Li Mu was feeling annoyed at the moment. This Minister of the Ministry of Revenue wanted to offend him, which made him extremely impatient.
Xia He looked panicked, but did not dare to open her mouth to plead for herself. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
On the side, the Minister of Rites quickly knelt beside Xia He and begged for mercy on her behalf.
"Your Majesty, I am also worried about your majesty's health, so..."
"Really? It seems you have deployed a lot of spies in the palace. Your Majesty just..."
As Li Mu was speaking, he was stunned.
Only then did he realize that the two assistant ministers looked exactly the same.
Not only that, there is also General Chun and the female official named Dong, these four people look exactly the same.
"You, you are quadruplets?"
Li Mu spoke subconsciously, but a voice in his heart told him that their surnames were different, so how could they be quadruplets? He must have seen it wrong.
in the house.
Jun Jiuling, lying on the bed, had sweat on his forehead and was groaning in pain.
Beside the bed, Ge Peining's expression changed. After struggling for a long time, she finally spoke,
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Longzi is... I'm afraid he is..."
"What are you afraid of!" Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuling suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Ge Peining.
"I am incompetent. Your Majesty has had a miscarriage. I am afraid that the dragon son may not be saved. Now I can only do my best to protect Your Majesty."
Ge Peining knelt down with a plop and stroked the ground with his forehead.
"Don't worry about me! I just want the child to be safe!" Jun Jiuling growled, but when he saw Ge Peining's embarrassed expression, he smiled bitterly.
"Sure enough... a dog man."
Jun Jiuling's eyes gradually turned dim, and she no longer paid attention to Ge Peining's treatment for her.
Anyway, everything is fake, all fake.
As Li Mu gradually sank into the illusion, the time she spent awake became longer and longer.
Two months ago, it was completely possible to retain my self-awareness.
But for some reason, she didn't want to get out of this illusion.
Unfortunately, Li Mu’s signs of waking up are becoming more and more obvious.
Especially, after coming into contact with those women.
Jun Jiuling roughly figured out how Li Mu would cheat the slave seal.
By sealing it with another tragic life, one will only be minimally affected.
After thinking about this clearly, she already had a guess.
The child will not be born, she will die, and even this country, this little world, will be overturned.
Only if you are miserable enough can you deceive the slave seal.
"You bastard, you're so cruel to yourself!"
Jun Jiuling showed a trace of distress in his eyes, and then he seemed to think of something, frowned and looked at Ge Peining and Xiao Zhao,
"No, even though this bastard is cruel to me, he cares deeply about them. They shouldn't be here."
His eyes flickered slightly, and Jun Jiuling instantly realized that they... were not illusions!
Jun Jiuling reached out and grasped Ge Peining's wrist, and said to himself, "As expected, it was the fluctuation of the soul."
"Oh no! They are just mortals. If their spirits die here, even if they don't die, they will become fools!"
Jun Jiuling's face changed, and he suddenly thought that it was her. It was she who tried to let them contact each other in order to prevent Li Mu from waking up so soon.
Every time Li Mu came into contact with them, the illusion would be torn apart, as if he was trying to send them away!
Jun Jiuling's eyes struggled, then he looked at the scissors on the tray beside him and sighed slightly.
Although she was somewhat attached to the life here, she was not sure when the changes would come in the illusion created by Li Mu.
What's more, she should have died two months ago after that accidental fall.
Now it seems that the reason she regained consciousness was not because her soul was strong enough, but because she no longer belonged here, but still refused to leave.
"You bastard, I'll settle the score with you when you wake up!"
Jun Jiuling held a pair of scissors in his hand, and while Ge Peining and the others were not paying attention, he stabbed himself in the chest.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Zhao turned around and was about to wipe the sweat off Jun Jiuling's face.
Jun Jiuling turned into a light pink beam of light and quickly passed through her and Ge Peining's bodies.
When the light beam penetrated their bodies, their figures instantly became blurred and turned into light balls that were swept away by the light beam and flew out of the house.
in the courtyard.
The light beam followed the same method, wrapping around the souls of Zhang Hanrui and others and drilling into Li Mu's brows.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, but he did not feel anything unusual about the sudden disappearance of several living people.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be turning back in time and rapidly moving backwards.
In just a moment, it turned into nothingness.
Then, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, grass and trees began to grow, and houses rose from the ground.
The illusion after restart.
In a village in a remote small county, the sounds of shouting and killing were deafening.
The ragged boy looked at the steel knife that was chopping towards him and slowly closed his eyes.
However, the expected death did not come.
"Jiuer?" The young man was slightly surprised and slowly opened his eyes.
The big man with a knife in front of him had fallen down with an arrow in his back.
In the distance, a young man whose face could not be seen clearly was sitting on horseback, holding a longbow in his hand.
"Are you okay, little brother? I am the ninth prince of the dynasty. Don't be afraid. These bandits have been killed."
The young man heaved a long sigh of relief. He was so happy after surviving the disaster that he seemed to have completely forgotten the word "Jiuer" that came out of his mouth.
