To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C128

Cui Yun wanted to ask Li Mu to save her, but when she saw the cold gaze that was looking at him, Cui Yun understood that even if her aunt was beaten to death here today, he would absolutely not help.

Shi Anran’s vision started to blur. She saw the look in Li Mu’s eyes as she looked at her with indifferent eyes. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, but the bone-piercing pain behind her reminded her that she was still alive.

Finally, a hint of yellow appeared in her eyes. She knew that she could be saved …

“Stop!” The Crown Prince was just passing by, but he didn’t expect to see such a scene.

The two guards who were executing the punishment were also sweating profusely. After hearing the crown prince stop them, they obediently moved to the side and said, “We pay our respects to your highness, the crown prince!”

Li Gan looked at the dying girl on the ground, and looked up suspiciously: “The Imperial Concubine is punishing a weak palace maid like this, I wonder what crime she has committed?”

Li Ruolan scoffed coldly in her heart, even though she did not put this useless crown prince in her eyes, she still had to worry about his identity on the surface, and said: “Your majesty, let me punish you as I please, I do not dare to show favoritism!”

Shi Anran’s finger moved, and she slowly raised her head. Her bright eyes stared straight at the crown prince, using her gaze to convey her begging. After Li Gan’s throat moved up and down, she glanced sideways and said to Imperial Noble Consort Lan: “Let this palace maid go. If Imperial Noble Consort Lan thinks that it is not enough, how about you invite royal father over to take a look? ”

He actually brought out the emperor? Li Ruolan curled her lips coldly, “Since the crown prince has said so, how could I dare not to let him go?” After saying that, he waved his hand and stood up as well. This time, he felt very satisfied! It was a pity that he did not see Shi Anran kneeling and crying for help!

“What are you standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and send him back! Have the imperial physician come and take a look!” Li Gan took in a light breath and put it down. After seeing that Shi Anran had been carried away, an image of her eyes, which were even clearer than starlight, suddenly surfaced in her mind.

“Your Highness, we should leave now!” The guard whispered to himself, before he pulled his thoughts back to reality.

Li Gan nodded, and before he left, he looked back at Qian Qing Gong. So this woman was his father’s servant, why had he never seen her before?

Shi Anran had been struck twenty times, and was extremely weak. If she were to be hit by the remaining wooden boards, how could she still have a chance of survival? The medicine woman cleaned her wounds, applied the ointment, and left after saying a few words.

Cui Yun had been guarding by her side the entire time, but seeing that Shi Anran had slept for an entire day and had yet to awaken, she stretched out her hand to inspect her forehead, immediately frowning. “Not good, Aunt has a fever, what should we do now?” She had to get a doctor again.

Cui Yun ran too quickly, and when she turned the corner, she bumped into someone. She hurriedly apologized and looked up, and immediately became ecstatic: “Young General, it’s you! Great! Hurry up and save your aunt! ”

“What happened to Anran?” Xiang Rongcheng’s handsome eyebrows slightly knitted together.

Cui Yun knew that this was not the place to talk, so she brought Xiang Rongcheng to the side hall of the Qian Qing Palace, which was also the courtyard where Shi Anran lived.

Seeing the dying Shi Anran on the bed, Xiang Rongcheng almost shattered the table in front of him with a single punch. He gritted his teeth and asked: “Who did it?”

“It’s Imperial Noble Consort Lan. Aunt has been beaten up and has slept for an entire day but she still hasn’t woken up. The imperial physician also hasn’t come back to check her pulse! “In the palace, a little servant girl like me couldn’t get imperial doctors …” Cui Yun sobbed.

“Damn it!” It had only been a few days since he last saw her, yet he was already like this. Xiang Rongcheng’s five fingers clenched into a fist, he took off his own medallion and handed it over to Cui Yun: “Bring all the female doctors in the Grand Hospital over to this general!”

At this moment, he did not care about his status, nor did he care about the consequences of a single word from someone that he had put in effort for. He only knew that if he could not even protect the person he loved, then he was not worthy of being a man.

Not long after, the entire room was completely surrounded, with Xiang Rongcheng standing outside with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

Xiang Rongcheng cupped his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: “This subject greets Your Majesty!”

“Junior General, please rise!” When the emperor first heard of this, his face was filled with rage, but on the way here he calmed down quite a bit.

Because of the matter of Xiang Rongcheng beating her sister up the last time, Li Ruolan still bore a grudge in mind.

Hearing that, even the emperor’s expression changed, and he heard Xiang Rongcheng say indifferently, “What does Imperial Noble Consort Lan mean? Should I wait for her to die of illness before I send for the best mortician in the capital? ”

The Emperor gave a light cough. “Alright, this matter shall be decided by us! “Young General is a great general of the imperial court, but he’s actually being taught to do this by a palace maid in private. How is that proper?”

Xiang Rongcheng had originally wanted to frankly admit that Anran was his own fiancee, but the words were about to come out of his mouth when he swallowed them back. “This subject is lacking in manners, but life is more important.

Deal with him? Now that the border war had just subsided, who knew when the enemy would attack again. At this time, the Emperor still had to rely on his Xiang Family to rule the world, so how could he possibly be punished? He then glanced at him and said sternly, “Go back to your residence!”

In the dead of night, Shi Anran slowly opened her eyes. In her previous life, she had escaped death once because of the crown prince, could it be that all of this was already predetermined? When she saw Li Mu when she was receiving her punishment, his clear and cold eyes did not contain the slightest bit of sympathy. Shi Anran started to suspect if she had made the right decision.

But she already knew what kind of person Li Mu was, so before deciding to cooperate with him, she first understood his viciousness. Was there any possibility of him turning back now?

After Cui Yun helped her drink some rice porridge, she said gently, “In the daytime, the young general has come over!”

“What?” Did he say anything? ” Shi Anran was suddenly startled, and when she tensed up, a tearing pain came from behind him.

“The young general invited all of the female officials of the entire Grand Hospital to treat his aunt’s wounds. Afterwards, he alarmed the emperor. It’s strange that the young general didn’t even receive a single sentence from the emperor before he was sent back to the general’s estate.” Cui Yun said in detail.

At this time, the emperor would not offend the Xiang Family because of this. Xiang Rongcheng’s father had an army of several hundred thousand and Xiang Rongcheng’s soldiers were all brave and good at fighting, so how could the emperor vent his anger on him? Shi Anran was quite at ease with this, and as she thought about it, she slowly opened her mouth and asked: “Has the crown prince ever come here before?”

“Never …” Cui Yun replied with lowered eyes.

Shi Anran slightly nodded her head, her gentle and exquisite face had a deathly pale complexion. This time, quite a few people in the palace probably knew of Xiang Rongcheng’s actions for her sake, so how would she explain it? As she thought about it, she felt a headache coming on. She closed her eyes and lay back down. Because she had been hit by a plank, she had no choice but to sleep on her stomach.
