The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 69 I Thought I'd Died

And as he ran and continued to run, he suddenly lost his way. He sat confused in the snow. Then, he felt a warm liquid on his lips. There was something trying to open his mouth and put the warm and bitter liquid into his mouth. He can't refuse it. The liquid did not fully enter his mouth and something spilled from his mouth and flowed into his ears.

Then, he felt that something rough and warm was rubbed onto his face.

Then he felt something slippery being put in his mouth and pushed inside. It seemed like it was a bitter medicinal herb. He could not spit it out anymore and could only swallow all the bitter liquid.

When Qin Ruojiu woke up, she saw Lu’Er who was crying and looked so sad.

Looking at Qin Ruojiu who had awakened, Lu’Er smiled and shouted, “Empress, Empress, you finally woke up ..”.

Qin Ruojiu could only feel a thirsty and bitter taste within his throat. He immediately pointed to the kettle on the table and said softly, “I want to drink water ..”

Seeing that, Lu’Er immediately poured water and gave it to Qin Ruojiu. Then he helped Qin Ruojiu to sit on his bed.

After gulping down the water, Qin Ruoqiu was about to regress back to his bed, but due to his movements being too fast that, the wound on his body was opened again. Qin Ruojiu shouted in pain.

“Empress, don't move, you lean first. Say, what does the Empress want meaning? Lu’er will prepare it for PErmaisuri!”

Qin Ruojiu shook her head and sighed and asked, “How long have I been asleep?”

“3 days ...” Lu’Er replied.

After hearing the word ‘died’, Lu’Er was immediately shocked and cried hysterically.

“Empress, you're okay, right,? earlier that Physician Liu prescribed you medicine, he said after taking the medicine, The Empress will improve.”

“Really?” Qin Ruojiu smiled and thought in her heart, it is better that she just die, that meant she no longer needed to face this cruel life and did not need to meet her heartless husband anymore.

“Yes, it was the Emperor himself who bribed you to take medicine. If it wasn't for His Majesty the Emperor, we wouldn't all know how to!”

Qin Ruojiu who heard that was confused and asked, “Why should the Emperor himself feed me medicine?”

“Enjoy, when you are unconscious, no medicine can enter your body. Every time we bribe you, you'll spit it out. Seeing that, the Emperor knew you could not take this medicine, then he ordered people to cook a special medicine for you, then he treated you full night alone. Physician Liu came to check on your situation and he said that you have passed the critical period.”

The words Lu’Er said made Qin Ruojiu surprised, as if she did not believe all that.

True, in the dream he felt that something soft and supple always entered his mouth and pushed the medicine into his throat. Is that the tongue and lips of Emperor Zhaolie?

He, did he use his tongue and lips to put the medicine into his throat, what ... is it possible? Was Emperor Zhaolie crazy or did he feel sorry for her? No, it shouldn't be both. Kang Yong did like that because Kang Yong did not want him to die. If he dies, it means he loses someone he can torture.
