The Legitimate Daughter Empress - C197
Chapter 196 – Panic
“Don’t worry, Daihua. I was just looking for something new. I’ll go take a look and then come back.” Qin Luofei did not listen to him at all, heading towards the Ten Thousand Beast Pit alone.
Along the way, there were memories of her and him everywhere, as if they had once again walked the same path they came from. But at the moment they arrived at the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, Qin Luofei’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
What was this? She felt that the closer she got to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, the more painful it felt to her. Was it his subconscious that was playing tricks on him, or was it due to his fear of this place?
This place was a sparsely populated place, it had been sealed ever since the Empress Leng died here. She pushed at the back door forcefully, but was unable to open it. It seemed that the Emperor Ming was really on strict guard against this place.
Fortunately, she had learned Qing Gong. She found a short wall and climbed over it. This place was still the same as before, except that it was guarded by guards. Qin Luofei had no choice but to hide behind the fake mountain until the guards left.
Not far from the fake mountain was the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. This place was constructed for him by the Emperor Ming in his previous life.
Humans were not like plants and vegetation that could be merciless. Qin Luofei’s eyes reddened, but now her hatred had completely covered up her previous love.
As she slowly approached the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, she saw a man in bright yellow dragon robes standing not too far away, gazing at the spot where she had been thrown down from in her previous life.
Isn’t that Emperor Ming? Why did he appear here? Could he be missing me? No, it was impossible! This man was so heartless, how could he miss the past? When he cruelly allowed Imperial Consort Leng to cut off both his legs and lock them in the cold palace, what difference was there between him and the beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit?
“Men, it’s time to feed the animals here.” Emperor Ming ordered, and the guards carried the food over. Although Qin Luofei was quite far away, she could still smell the stench of blood that caused her to faintly feel nauseous.
He was still as cruel as before. He liked to watch these beasts fight. It was just that Qin Luofei believed that the wicked people would eventually get their revenge, and one day, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
After Emperor Ming finished eating, he turned around and left with cold eyes. Behind him, there were a large number of guards protecting him, making it difficult to get close to him.
She walked to the edge of the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. The Ten Thousand Beast Pit was covered in blood, and the smell of blood assaulted Qin Luofei’s nostrils. She could not help but vomit. Just as she turned to leave, she accidentally saw a ranking in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit.
“Tomb of the Empress Leng”, the dazzling golden tombstone stung Qin Luofei’s eyes.
Could it be that the Emperor Ming had helped her set up this tombstone? Qin Luofei did not dare to believe her eyes, much less believe that he would one day erect a tombstone for her.
Qin Luofei laughed and cried at the same time. She no longer knew how to describe her current mood. She only felt that all of this was like a dream. She did not care about the memorial tablet that he had created for her. What qualifications did he have to help her establish this memorial tablet? Was that the only way to make his conscience feel better?
By the time Qin Luofei returned to the Huishang Hall, she had already experienced everything. She didn’t know how to express her current feelings.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Daihua saw that Qin Luofei’s face was pale and covered in cold sweat. She seemed to be in a bit of a trance.
“It’s fine. Let me have a good rest by myself for a while.”
When Qin Luofei stepped into the room, she carefully fell on the ground and never got up again.
Her heart was exhausted, and both her body and mind felt extremely exhausted.
Perhaps he should not go to that place, should not touch the past.
“Miss, wake up.” Qin Luofei gradually lost consciousness.
Daffodil Daydream immediately went to invite the Imperial Physician Lin.
When the Imperial Physician Lin arrived, Qin Luofei had already started a fever, looking like he was about to die.
Qin Luofei’s body felt cold and hot, and from time to time, she would spit out a few words.
“Ten Thousand Beasts Pit!” In her dream, she had a pained expression as she recited these few words.
“The meridians in Concubine Qin’s body are extremely weak. It might have been caused by some sort of stimulation and cold. Why would she say that? ” The Imperial Physician Lin looked at the chrysanthemum with a puzzled look.
“Miss, she just went to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit.” Sunflower was rather trusting of Imperial Physician Lin, so she told him about it.
Imperial Physician Lin was startled, then said: “Why would she go to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit for no reason?”
“I don’t know. It became like this when I came back.” Feverfew shook her head.
“Take good care of your concubine. I’m afraid that you’ll have to spend the next few days in bed, sweating after eating the medicine. The rest will depend on how your Concubine Qin recuperates.”
“Alright, Imperial Physician Lin.” Daihua sent Imperial Physician Lin out and returned to continue taking care of Qin Luofei.
She inadvertently saw the jade pendant hanging around the young lady’s waist. This jade pendant was crystal clear and she couldn’t help but want to touch it.
Daffodil Daydream’s hand slowly approached the jade pendant. When she stretched out her hand to grab it, a wave of piercing coldness pierced her small hand.
“Ah!” Daffodil Daydream could not help but shout out.
Daffodil Daydream didn’t know the meaning behind this jade pendant, but that feeling just now made her feel fear towards this jade pendant, and she didn’t dare to easily touch it.
Lin He returned to the Taiyuan Hospital and told Leng Mu about Qin Luofei’s illness, but Leng Mu instead had an indifferent expression.
“Why tell me about her?”
Lin He was startled, and said: “Could it be that you don’t care about it anymore?”
“So what if she cares? She is a woman of the Emperor Ming.” Leng Mu was still struggling in his heart because of that matter.
Lin He continued, “I heard that she turned into her current state after returning from the Ten Thousand Beast Pit.”
“Ten Thousand Beast Pit? Why did she go there? ” Leng Mu became vigilant immediately. That place was an eternal pain to him.
Lin He shook his head, and said: “I’m not too sure either, I’ve also heard it from Xi Hua’s mouth, maybe she has something to do with Empress Leng, if not why would she go to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit for nothing?”
Leng Mu shook his head and said, “I’m not sure either.”
He didn’t want to care about her anymore, but he still couldn’t help but pay attention.
Lin He couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched Yun Che’s retreating back.
“Ask what is love in this world.”
Leng Mu had already arrived at the Huishang Hall, and rushed straight to Qin Luofei’s room.
“Daihua, why would your concubine go to the Ten Thousand Beast Pit?” The current Leng Mu was more concerned about her relationship with Empress Leng.
“Master Leng, why have you come? Miss needs some peace and quiet, you should go back first.” When Xi Ju saw Leng Mu barging into the young miss’ room like that, it would be bad if someone saw.
“I have something very important to ask her.” Leng Mu walked to the head of the bed without caring about Xi Hua’s obstruction.
If anyone else saw this, it would not be good for Young Miss’s reputation. Daihua hurried over and closed the door.
Leng Mu squatted by the bedside, looked at the pale-faced Qin Luofei, and added with her weak breathing, he couldn’t help but feel his heart ache a little.
“Concubine Qin.” Leng Mu called out softly.
However, Qin Luofei was still unable to open her eyes.
“Master Leng, if you have anything, please come back another day.” Sunflower was slightly dissatisfied with Leng Mu’s actions.
Leng Mu nodded and walked out. He didn’t know why his heart had been heavy ever since he saw the flash in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit last night.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t been able to personally express her feelings when she was still alive. Perhaps it was because he hated his own incompetence that his most beloved woman fell to such a state.
At this moment, the most worried person should be the Imperial Consort Leng.
After hearing this rumor, she kept tossing and turning.
Although a long period of time had passed since this incident, the Imperial Consort Leng still felt horrified when she thought of the words the Empress Leng had pointed at her, and the words she had said to the Emperor Ming.
Could that woman have died with grievances and now come looking for him?
“Yun Er, quickly go and send more guards to watch over Jin Se Palace.” Imperial Consort Leng was usually not afraid of anything, but this time, it was because of some of the woman’s rumors that made her feel flustered.
When she woke up today, she found that there was a bruise on her foot for no reason. Even so, when she drank her morning tea, she was accidentally scalded by the tea water.
After that, there was even the news of Empress Leng appearing in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. These series of events forced Imperial Consort Leng to think back to what she had said in the past.
For several days, Imperial Consort Leng did not go out.
Previously, Emperor Ming had objected to Empress Leng giving him a tombstone in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit, but Emperor Ming did not care about his opinion at all.
Now that such a thing had happened, it seemed like she needed to properly discuss this matter with Emperor Ming.
Although the news about the palace had spread like wildfire, Emperor Ming did not hear any news about it. Until the Imperial Consort Leng took the initiative to look for him and discuss this matter.
“Your majesty, chenqie has a request for you today.” When Imperial Consort Leng saw Emperor Ming, he immediately kneeled down, her face filled with grief.
Emperor Ming was startled and immediately said: “What is it, Love Consort, please wake up.”
Imperial Consort Leng knew that this was the only way to make Emperor Ming change his mind. Ever since he had restored his body, the first thing he did was to set up a golden tombstone for the Empress Leng.
“Recently, chenqie couldn’t eat anymore and couldn’t sleep. Even the child in the womb kept kicking me until my stomach started to ache. The Emperor doesn’t know that someone saw the Empress Leng appearing in the Ten Thousand Beast Pit. ” When Imperial Consort Leng said this, she was worried, because she couldn’t guess whether she would be angered by the fact that Emperor Ming mentioned that woman.
“Nonsense!” Why didn’t I see it? Even if I see it, it should be me who sees it. What are you worried about? ” Emperor Ming’s face was dark. He had already started to feel guilty towards this woman, but she had been brought up again. He would not feel better than anyone else.
“Your Majesty, chenqie can’t sleep through the night. I don’t even know what to do anymore. If this goes on, chenqie is afraid that her body won’t be able to hold on and she won’t be able to protect the fetus in her womb.” Your Majesty, how about … Can you destroy her tombstone? ” Imperial Consort Leng asked probingly.
Emperor Ming’s pupils became sharper, and he said: “Destroy? Are you kidding? Do you think it’s possible for me to destroy her grave? ”
“Your majesty, Empress Leng’s corpse has already been devoured by the beasts. That grave is also just an empty shell, why did you keep that empty shell?” The Imperial Consort Leng said angrily.
“Don’t say anymore, the matter that This Emperor has decided on is impossible to change.”
Emperor Ming was so angry that his eyes turned red. After meeting Lin Yuyue, he now knew that the woman who had been the best to him all this time had actually killed him with her own hands. This kind of guilt made Emperor Ming extremely remorseful. After recovering, he built a tombstone there. But now, this woman actually wanted him to destroy her? Was that even possible?
