To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C139
Seeing Liu Yue faint once again, Li Ruolan said in a low voice: “Think of a way to wake her up. If you don’t say anything soon, return the punishment to me.
Cui Yu could not bear to watch anymore, and stood by the side with a pale face. If one day she also offended Imperial Noble Consort Lan, would she also receive such a punishment?
Outside the Changchun Palace, the rain was pouring down heavily. There was only a tiny kneeling figure that was shivering uncontrollably.
Li Mu’s hand that was holding onto the umbrella tightened and tightened. Did this woman have to be so stubborn? After a long while, he still couldn’t help but walk over, placed the umbrella on top of Shi Anran’s head, and said indifferently: “You should go back; it’s useless doing this way.”
Shi Anran’s entire body was uncomfortable. He used one hand to cover his lower abdomen as he shivered, while painfully biting his lips. Seeing her expression, Li Mu vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he squatted down and looked straight into her eyes, with a faint gentleness in his voice: “Anran, listen to me, go back okay?”
“No …” Liu Yue was still in Li Ruolan’s hands right now, and in the entire imperial palace, only the words of the emperor could suppress her. If she were to give up her last chance at this moment, Liu Yue would definitely die.
You should know that your royal father is not a merciful person. Your Majesty has already cut off all face, so how could I listen to you plead for mercy?” If he wanted to come out, was there a need to wait until now? Now stand up and come with me! ” At the end, Li Mu’s tone was laced with an indescribable rage. Did this woman not bring her brain with her? He did not know how to avoid such a heavy rain, so he just soaked in it without a care.
Shi Anran laughed powerlessly, and said with a slightly trembling voice: “I … “I won’t leave …”
“It’s not up to you!” Li Mu said softly and pulled her arm.
Shi Anran struggled to retreat, but her body fell down powerlessly. Li Mu squinted his eyes, and instantly embraced her waist, bringing her into his embrace. He felt her small body trembling in his embrace, and an indescribable desolate feeling filled his heart.
“Let me go …” Li Mu’s struggle was completely useless to him. Li Mu tightened his fingers even more, and then threw away the umbrella, he carried the struggling lady and walked forward with big steps, his voice calm and indifferent as he said: “Be obedient, you don’t have any use for this, don’t ruin yourself!”
“But, but Liu Yue is also …” Her hands tightly gripped onto Li Mu’s sleeves as she muttered to herself, as she was unable to differentiate exactly what her current mood was like.
Li Mu did not speak to her again. No one guarded the palace where he lived, so no one would notice him entering from the back door. Li Mu then carried Shi Anran and entered.
After placing Shi Anran on the bed, she immediately ordered the servants to prepare hot water. If she did not warm up like this, who knows if she would be sick or not.
Cui Yun and Yi Yue both returned to the palace but they did not see Shi Anran. The two were so anxious that they did not know what to do.
An hour later, with the help of a few female attendants, Shi Anran had finally washed up cleanly. She hugged her arm and curled up in a corner of the bed, looking at an unknown place with unfocused eyes.
“How is she?”
The maid lowered her eyes and replied, “Auntie, she …” She had Sunflower Dew, so her body was very weak! ”
Did this woman not even want her own life? When he heard the maid’s reply, he did not know what had happened to him. He actually had a strong urge to ruthlessly scold her. However, he did not have the qualifications to do so.
In the end, Li Mu took a deep breath, and personally brought Jiang Tang in, then sat by her side. Only after a long while did he speak in a leisurely manner, “When a person is walking to the place she wants, they have to go through countless hardships along the way. She needs to walk over the corpses of others to get what she wants! So, wake up now and don’t let these little things get you out of control. ”
A small matter? How could a living person only be considered a small matter in his eyes? Shi Anran wanted to struggle and get up, but she was stopped by Li Mu on the shoulder, and said with shining eyes: “Do you believe that I can knock you out right now?”
“Why did you stop me?” she asked hoarsely.
“I won’t stop you, but will I just let you stay there in the rain? I always thought you were a smart woman who knew what to do and what not to do, but now you’re going to let me down? ”
Shi Anran didn’t care about his disappointment at all. She only knew that Liu Yue was being tortured at this moment, she was normally afraid of pain, and didn’t know how long she could endure for.
“You don’t know anything …” He was such a cold-blooded person, how could he care about the life and death of others? The only thing he cared about was himself.
“I don’t know. All I know is that once a person has the right, they can decide everything. On the contrary, those without the right can only leave it to the heavens!”
Li Mu forcefully fed her hot ginger soup, and thought back to what the servant had said just now. His gaze swept over her a few times, and then said softly: “If your body isn’t good, then don’t take the rain. In this palace, no one will be worried about you.”
“Haha …” Shi Anran laughed, then turned her head to look at the man in front of her in a daze: “Then what about you, are you pitying me right now as well?”
“No rules!” Li Mu said in a low voice. After that, he stood up, “Tonight, you will rest well here. Tomorrow morning, you can leave from the back door.”
Looking at his back as she walked out, Shi Anran didn’t know what to feel at this moment either. That feeling of helplessness that could not be grasped was something that she could really do nothing about. Li Mu was right, power, as long as you have power in this palace, what else can you not do?
“Empress, what if there is a human life?” Zhu’er started to worry, as the people on the ground were no longer breathing.
Li Ruolan was even more agitated now. All she wanted was for this palace maid to stand out and tell everyone that it was Shi Anran who had poisoned her. She didn’t expect that after using all of the poison’s methods, Liu Yue still hadn’t said a single word.
“I only used a little punishment. What’s there to worry about? It’s just a lowly slave. Where did she get such an expensive body? Let’s just continue beating her up after waking her up!” After Li Ruolan finished speaking, she turned and sat on the soft chair. It was almost daybreak, but she did not feel sleepy at all.
Zhu’er looked at Liu Yue who was covered in blood, and secretly gulped down her saliva, where could she start from when things had already turned out like this? Immediately, she timidly shot a glance at Li Ruolan, who then smashed the cup in his hand towards her: “I’ll let you continue, are you deaf or mute?”
