Chapter 76 The Angry Empress 7
Chapter 76 The Angry Empress 7
Late at night, Pei Shaoqing brought news again. He went out of the palace in person and informed his father of the whole situation.
Starting from tomorrow, they will force His Majesty to attend court on the grounds that His Majesty has not been diligent in his duties for many days. This is also to ensure Jiang Wan's safety and prevent He Yunchao from becoming desperate and attempting to kill the king.
"The He Yun Dynasty is secretly raising troops, so I'm afraid that Your Majesty will have to stay here for a while longer. Once my father and his men have assembled the army, I will risk my life to protect Your Majesty from leaving the palace."
Jiang Wan nodded. This was not a difficult task. "Qiao Shannai, you must pay attention to Qiao Shannai. This person is unconventional and weird. If he stays with He Yunchao, he will be a disaster sooner or later!"
Pei Shaoqing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I have sent people to keep an eye on her. When the right opportunity comes, I will kill her on the spot!"
After reporting all the information, the two had nothing else to say. The longer Jiang Wan stayed here, the greater the risk of being discovered. But Pei Shaoqing stood there stupidly, hesitating about what he was thinking, and did not send her back.
"Anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Shaoqing's face instantly turned red. He stealthily took out a box of ointment from his arms, not even daring to look Jiang Wan in the eye.
"I left in a hurry and didn't have time to treat your majesty's injuries..."
After understanding his words, Jiang Wan felt her face getting hot. She frowned and said impatiently, "Why don't you hurry up? What are you doing dawdling like that?"
Pei Shaoqing's whole body was stiff, and his face was as red as a steamed crab. He half-knelt down devoutly and gently treated Jiang Wan's wound.
Jiang Wan intertwined her toes and bit her lower lip tightly. She could only reach out and grab Pei Shaoqing's collar to barely keep her body steady.
......
During this period, Jiang Wan's life was no different from the past. He would go crazy for a while, meet He Yunchao who came to visit, and make some classic speeches about unrequited love.
Soon, the door to the secret passage was knocked again, and this time, Pei Shaoqing came to take her away.
Almost at the same time, the palace servants discovered that Jiang Wan was not in bed. Thinking of the miserable situation faced by the previous wave of palace servants due to their poor supervision, they could only hold on to luck and hope that His Majesty had sneaked out to play again. As long as they found her before the Regent found out, everything would be fine.
It was because of their delay and fear that Jiang Wan gained the best opportunity to escape. By the time He Yunchao received the news, two hours had passed.
"Useless! Umbrella! Why are you telling me now?"
He Yunchao was so angry that he broke several Jianzhan porcelains.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately sent someone to Changle Palace. When he heard that there was no one inside and Pei Shaoqing and the guards he brought with him were gone, an unprecedented ominous premonition filled He Yunchao's heart...
At this time, his subordinates came to report that a large number of border troops were rushing towards this side thirty miles away from Kyoto.
At this point, He Yunchao still had no idea what had happened.
Good, very good! Good job, Jiang Wan! You are such a good disguiser, you managed to escape quietly right under his nose!
After playing with the eagle all day, He Yunchao was still pecked in the eye by the eagle. It was rare for He Yunchao to encounter such a setback. He was so angry that his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
But unfortunately, they had no idea what enemy they were facing!
He Yunchao clenched his fists and said coldly, "Go, call Miss Qiao over, and bring out all the black gunpowder she made during this period!"
Unfortunately, He Yunchao was still one step behind this time! According to Jiang Wan's instructions, Pei Shaoqing had already deployed assassins around Qiao Shannai. It was because she hid inside that he had no chance to take action.
Qiao Shannai was in a good mood. With the help of these hot weapons, fighting now would only send He Yunchao to the throne ahead of time.
And she would stand beside He Yunchao and watch him ascend to the supreme position with her own eyes.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that this smooth road that she thought would lead her to success was actually a dead end leading to death.
Almost as soon as Qiao Shannai went out, the killers swarmed up. The incident happened suddenly, and there were not many guards escorting her. Before Qiao Shannai could react, her neck was cut by a short blade.
Before he died, Qiao Shannai stared at the palace with wide eyes.
She was unwilling to accept this. She was clearly the chosen one who traveled through time and space, and victory was right in front of her, but she died in such a cowardly way. Was this reasonable?
Upon learning the news of Qiao Shannai's death, He Yunchao could no longer hold back and spurted out a mouthful of blood. When he learned that the place where the gunpowder was developed was surrounded by Pei Shaoqing and his troops, and the gunpowder was flooded and could not produce any effect at all, He Yunchao almost fainted from anger!
Without Qiao Shannai's company and without the magic weapon, how can he compete with those people now!
The people of Kyoto stayed indoors and the sounds of fighting outside lasted for a day and a night before they completely died down.
When Jiang Wan saw He Yunchao again, he was sitting upright on the dragon throne with a look of madness on his face.
"As expected of you, little bastard that I taught you, you have been able to disguise yourself for so many years without me noticing anything unusual. Jiang Wan, you are really great! If I had known this would happen, I would have put an end to you long ago!"
Jiang Wan just looked at him coldly without saying a word.
"But, don't you think that by killing me, you can secure your throne? If you are poisoned by me, you will soon be like your short-lived father and die early!"
Jiang Wan frowned, but was not too shocked. It was not like she had not thought about this possibility before, but she had never consulted a doctor to verify it.
Pei Shaoqing was furious and drew his sword to force He Yunchao to tell him the whereabouts of the antidote, but before he could get close, He Yunchao vomited black blood. It turned out that he had taken the poison early.
Before he died, he still clung to the dragon throne, clinging to the position he had been seeking all his life. He glared at Jiang Wan with eyes that seemed to be filled with poison, "Jiang Wan, I'll be waiting for you down there!"
After saying this, He Yunchao died of suffocation, with his eyes open.
This horrifying scene appeared before his eyes. Pei Shaoqing looked at Jiang Wan worriedly, fearing that she would be stimulated... However, Jiang Wan was unusually calm. For some reason, she was much calmer during this period of time than before, and that uncontrollable feeling of violence rarely appeared. She was about to smile and report that she was safe, but her eyes went dark and she fainted.
......
When Jiang Wan woke up, Pei Shaoqing was guarding her side closely.
After seeing her wake up, Pei Shaoqing cried and laughed, "Your Majesty, we have a child. You are pregnant with our child!"
It was like a bolt from the blue hitting Jiang Wan on the head. She opened her mouth in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.
No? Wasn't that the only time between them?
She swept Pei Shaoqing up and down, and he took a long time to recover from his shock. It was too accurate!
But soon, Pei Shaoqing's face fell, "Your Majesty, now there is bad news. The genius doctor my father found said that the fetus in your belly has absorbed most of the poison given by He Yunchao, so even if this child is born, the body will not be very healthy..."
For a moment, Jiang Wan stood there in a daze. After all, he was his own child. How could he not feel sorry for him?
Pei Shaoqing patted her shoulder and comforted her, "This is also the best result. The genius doctor said that your majesty has been poisoned for a long time. If it weren't for this child, I'm afraid he would have followed the late emperor long ago... Now that you have this child, your majesty and her should take good care of your body. You just can't do strenuous exercise like other people. It won't affect your longevity."
Despite this, Jiang Wan still blamed herself very much. After the child was born, she treated her like an eyeball...
In this life, Jiang Wan and Pei Shaoqing were unable to support her until old age. Her body was badly damaged, and it was not easy for her to survive until she was over 40.
Before leaving, she gently stroked Pei Shaoqing's still handsome face, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Shaoqing, I will trouble you from now on..."
[Are you sure you want to leave this world? ]
【Detachment.】
[Congratulations to the host, the mission is completed. 】
