A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 44

“Your majesty, your majesty?” The anxious shouts of Xiyue and Yingyue still lingered in Qiao Qiao’s mind, but her eyelids were so heavy. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t open her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a heavy sigh resound from above his head.

“You silly woman, even though you know that there’s poison, you still drank it. Is it worth it to lure those behind you? “He’s so stupid.” The man complained.

“Wake up, I haven’t slept yet, I don’t want to be widowed.”

“Mistress Yuanfei, you’ve been here all day and all night. Go back and rest. Leave this to this servant.” Xiyue said to Ji Mingyuan, who was still lying on the bed.

“It’s fine, I want to stay here and watch her wake up.” Ji Mingyuan held onto Qiao Qiao’s hand with a look of worry on his face, carefully protecting her.

“The imperial physicians are already working on the antidote. The emperor will definitely be fine.” Xiyue consoled Ji Mingyuan and also consoled herself, but the sigh in her words did not escape Qiao’s ears.

She was only unconscious, but her consciousness was much clearer than normal.

“I hope so.” Ji Mingyuan frowned.

After another period of dizziness, Qiao Qiao still didn’t know how long he had been unconscious. All he knew was that the sounds above his head were constantly changing. However, the person who had accompanied him for so long was Ji Mingyuan.

Where’s Yan Mo Chen? Qiao Qiao’s heart still had a faint feeling of loneliness. Perhaps in his heart, he wished for Qiao Qiao to die just like that.

“What’s wrong with the court these days?” Ji Mingyuan asked Xiyue.

“To reply esteemed imperial concubine, everything in the court is the same. It’s just that the Regent …” Xiyue wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

At the mention of the regent, Joe continued to frown, too small to be noticed.

“What happened to the Regent?” Ji Mingyuan unhappily asked.

“The Regent has been gone for days.” Xiyue replied.

“What?” Ji Mingyuan asked curiously.

“Indeed, since the time when His Majesty had fainted, the Regent has never shown up again.” Xiyue replied honestly.

“Alright, secretly send someone to watch the Prince’s Mansion and see if the Regent has any movements in the near future.” Ji Mingyuan warned.

“But, Empress, the people sent to monitor the Prince’s Mansion a few days ago have all unexpectedly disappeared, as if they had disappeared from the world. This servant believes that something must have happened.” Xiyue said with a taut, beautiful face.

Ji Mingyuan frowned as his expression turned serious. This was one of the few serious expressions he had on his face. “Send some more men. This time, select a few experts with high martial skills. You must be careful and not be discovered.”

“Yes.” Xiyue accepted the order and retreated.

“Ran Er, wake up quickly. The court needs you, and I need you too.” Ji Mingyuan’s warm hand slowly slid across Qiao still’s cheek. The friction of his skin still made Qiao Qiao feel a little uncomfortable.

In a trance, day and night, the discomfort in Qiao Qiao’s body became stronger. After being dazed for so many days, she had already drunk countless bowls of medicine. This poison was hard to cure and she knew that her days were numbered.

“Mistress Yuanyu, you haven’t eaten, drank, or slept for three days and three nights. If this goes on, the emperor will wake up and your body won’t be able to take it anymore.” Xiyue worriedly advised Ji Mingyuan.

“Like I said, I need to see Ran Er wake up before leaving. You can leave now.” Ji Mingyuan’s eyes were already empty, but he continued to stare fixedly at Qiao Qiao without turning away.

“Sigh.” Xiyue let out a deep sigh and then withdrew herself.

From Xiyue’s words, Qiao Qiao still found out that she had been in a coma for three days and three nights. In these three days and three nights, she had heard everyone sigh the most, but she was unwilling. She didn’t even know who had harmed her.

“Ran Er, do you remember the first time we met?” Ji Mingyuan’s voice was weak as he gasped for breath.

“At that time, you were still young and a princess of Qiao Country.” “That day, you followed the late emperor out of the palace for a ride, and the pink curtains and gauze covering the carriage fluttered in the wind. You were simply too adorable, and at that time, I wished that I could stay by your side and protect you, even if you were just a servant. It’s a pity that I wasn’t qualified.”

“Who would use a beggar as the guardian of a princess?” “I was caught stealing buns on the street, and I was almost killed. It was you who saved me with a single sentence. You gave me a bun, and that was the most delicious bun I’ve ever eaten, ever since I was a kid.”

“Just one side was enough to convince me from the bottom of my heart that I want to protect you for the rest of your life. Although at that time, everyone thought that I had gone mad, that I was practicing martial arts crazily, that I was studying crazily, and that I hoped that one day, I would be able to enter the palace and see you again.”

“Later on, the late emperor passed away. I was afraid that something bad would happen to you, so when you barged into the palace, I was ruthlessly beaten out. I was unwilling to part with you, and after being captured, the news of you being the female emperor spread out from the palace.

Later on, the people of Qiao Country spread rumors that you were unscrupulous, but I did not believe, I did not believe that such a beautiful girl like that would become a useless female emperor, I did not believe even more that you would be an unconscious monarch. I had thought of many ways to blend into the palace, but all of them ended in failure, at that time, I was already known as the capital’s number one young master.

“I have thought of all sorts of ways to create our encounters, but it was all a coincidence, and it was all a coincidence. Perhaps it was under the care of the heavens, but that day, the palace was opened to recruit eunuchs. For the sake of meeting you, I entered the palace.” Ji Mingyuan gave a sour smile, as if he didn’t want to talk about the past anymore.

Afterwards, I killed Han Yufeng, and put on the human skin mask so that I could stand guard by your side. However, I never thought that before Han Yufeng died, he would somehow anger you.

Seeing you in the harem’s situation, I wanted to help you, but I didn’t know where to start. I had always been secretly watching over you, protecting you, and when I really wanted to take a step forward and reveal my true identity to you, I became timid.

I secretly left the palace that day to help you investigate the matter of the Regent’s secret manipulation, but who would have thought that I would actually meet you with my true identity. You really did as the rumors say, after meeting me, you sent someone to find me, and you only remember the famous First Young Master many years later, but you have forgotten that you saved that little beggar on the street many years ago.

“I had originally planned to bid my farewells to you. However, you were assassinated and passed out. That day, like now, I was the only one by your side.”

When you wake up, it’s as if you’re a completely different person. You’re attracting me more and more, making me unwilling to give up on the idea of leaving, but on another day, you actually kicked me out of the palace. I know that you wanted to use me to threaten Minister Han, but I’m not Han Yufeng, so how could I threaten you? From that day onwards, I wanted to use my true identity to help you along, accompany you, and take care of you. ”

“Now, you’re unconscious again, silly woman. Hurry up and wake up, I don’t want to help you solve these troublesome matters anymore.” Ji Mingyuan faintly smiled. His delicate, boneless hands caressed Qiao Qiao’s cheeks. A teardrop that was as moist as water slowly slid across his fingertips.

“Mu Er, Mu Er, did you hear what I said?” Ji Mingyuan shouted out as he looked at the tears that were still flowing out of the corner of Qiao’s eyes.

“Someone, call for the imperial physician, call for the imperial physician. Ran’er can hear me, quickly call for the imperial physician!” Ji Mingyuan shouted towards the door.
