The Fate of Love Zhang Lin

Chapter 29: Critical!

The bond is beautiful...

Blood ties between brothers...

The far away becomes close...

The close ones become attached...

Bonding without sincerity...

It will disappear because of envy...

Bond with love...

Will spring up in happiness...

The sadness was only for a moment...

Destiny is still playing...

Sadness as intermezo...

For more true happiness...

"Emperor Fang Yi. Empress Zhang Lin. Forgive me. Can I talk?" eunuch Wen's shout woke the two in the morning.

"What's wrong? say it!" emperor Fang Yi said from inside his room.

"Jawab Emperor. Forgive this servant who deserves to die. But I want to inform you that Prince Fang Qiu is sick. His body was very weak and his fever was high" eunuch Wen said making the two shocked.

Prince Fang Qiu was the biological son of Prince Fang Tse, because his biological father did not want his son's presence. Finally emperor Fang Yi decided to appoint prince Fang Qiu as the adopted son of emperor Fang Yi. But since the first day of his adoption, prince Fang Qiu was already weak and had an innate illness. Until finally his illness continues to gnaw his body and make his body weaker. Now that Prince Fang Qiu was already 5 years old, he had grown into a handsome prince.

"Has the court physician been summoned here?" asked Emperor Fang Yi worriedly.

"The palace physician is on a glorious journey. It may come soon." said eunuch Wen.

"Your highness. Allow me to see Prince Fang Qiu." said empress Zhang Lin to the Fang Qiu prince.

Zhang Lin started to examine the Fang Qiu prince's body. He felt the pulse and breathing of Fang Qiu's prince was very strange, those breaths and heart were moving irregularly. Then he examined the entire body of Prince Fang Qiu and Zhang Lin suspected that he had been poisoned for almost a month.

"Your highness. Tell the servant. Who was guarding Fang Qiu's prince as long as I was gone?" zhang Lin asked with an enormous anger.

"Court maid from the western palace. He's one of the palace servants in my residence" the bewildered emperor Fang Yi said.

"Qiang De bring the palace servant here. Hurry along!" zhang Lin's orders were full of anger.

They were all confused including emperor Fang Yi. No one dared to ask until the palace maid was brought before Empress Zhang Lin.

Plakkc.. Plakkc..

The back and forth slap was given by Zhang Lin to the palace maid.

"Tell me what did you give to Prince Fang Qiu? who told you to poison Fang Qiu's prince?" zhang Lin asked angrily and pulled the palace maid's hair full of uncontrollable emotions.

"How dare you hurt my son. How dare you want to kill my son. He's my son! No one is allowed to touch my son." Zhang Lin's yell grew increasingly uncontrollable, and involuntarily directly pulled the sword from Qiang De's hand and placed it on the palace maid's neck.

That anger, those red eyes, that horrible face, that, that cruel voice and firm demeanor made the palace servants and the entire palace people there deeply fear the cruelty of Zhang Lin that he had never displayed all this time. Emperor Fang Yi was so shocked to see the cruelty displayed by his wife, he was surprised to see the anger of his wife.

"Honey. My empress. Please calm yourself. Please calm yourself. Please soften your heart." said emperor Fang Yi and tried to take the sword out of Zhang Lin's hand slowly.

Emperor Fang Yi began to calm Zhang Lin's emotions. He tried to speak softly, for his empress' anger to dissipate. Long enough to calm Zhang Lin's emotions.

"Tell me where the antidote is or I will kill your entire family's descendants." threatened emperor Fang Yi.

"For Caesar. Forgive the emperor. A servant is just told by someone. Servants are not brave. He has kidnapped the servant's family and threatened to kill them all" said the palace maid in fear and continued to prostrate himself begging for forgiveness from them.

The palace servant gave the poison offer to Zhang Lin. Then Zhang Lin checked the authenticity of the poison antidote and gave it to Fang Qiu's prince after being convinced of its authenticity.

"Say who is that guy? who told you to?" ask emperor Fang Yi.

"What's going on?" ask Emperor Fang Yi

"He died because he had made a promise. When he was telling the truth, then he would subconsciously bite his own tongue and make him drink his blood that already contained poison" Zhang Lin explained with a hateful look.

"Look at the woman's servant's right hand. There's a red snake sign. It was the same sign as the sign of the people who killed the palace servants back then as well as the people who attacked the time of the race for the throne back then. And maybe this palace maid was one of the spies that the man put. The same person who had poisoned the emperor's father, the empress' mother and you my husband" Zhang Lin said with an angry look.

"Uhukis.. Uhuk.." prince Fang Qiu coughed out a very thick and black blood. Marking the poison had already spread throughout his body. The Fang Qiu prince's body was getting weaker. Zhang Lin was extremely anxious and frightened.

"Honey. Baby, this is your mom, baby. You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine. Mom will help you. I'll protect you. Don't be afraid and stay with Mother" Zhang Lin said in tears as he carried Prince Fang Qiu in his arms to the eastern palace residence.

No one dared to speak to Zhang Lin. With great anger and sadness, Zhang Lin his son was in his carriage. Everyone followed the queen without speaking. Everyone is panicking. The twins started crying. She is the twin's favorite sister. Although not a real sister. Everyone looked at Empress Zhang Lin who was filled with anger and sadness. He really loves his adopted son. Arriving at the eastern palace, Zhang Lin instantly closed his room and did not allow anyone to follow him. He didn't talk a bit. The door had been blocked by Zhang Lin with his strength. No one can open that door. Everyone just waited until Zhang Lin came out of the room.

Zhang Lin was extremely panicked. With his strength he tried to expel all the energy he had to expel the poison in Fang Qiu's prince's body. Without rest. Without eating or drinking. For 3 days Zhang Lin kept trying to remove and clear the poison. Finally the poison came out all from Fang Qiu's prince's body. Zhang Lin was very happy to still be able to save Fang Qiu's prince. After he started to calm down, suddenly his eyes were blurred and indistinct, his body felt very tired and not strong to stand.

Brakk..

A voice sounded from inside the room. Then the door of the room opened because Zhang Lin's strength had run out. Emperor Fang Yi panicked and went inside the room. He found Fang Qiu's prince who looked healthy. His lips smiled feeling that prince Fang Qiu could be healed.

Then he saw the body of his wife who had fallen asleep on the floor. Emperor Fang Yi was startled and approached his wife's body. There's no pulse. No heart beat sounds. There was no sound of breathing in his nose. The empress' body was stiff and cold.

"Darling, are you okay? My wife woke up dear." call emperor Fang Yi to try to wake his wife who fainted on the floor.

Feeling something strange about his wife's body, Emperor Fang Yi attempted to reawaken.

"Zhang Lin's. Zhang Lin's. Wakes up. Please wake up. Zhang Lin!"'s!" emperor Fang Yi shouted as he shook his wife's body.

There was no response from his wife's body. Emperor Fang Yi was getting panicked. Emperor Fang Yi tried to hug his wife and warm Zhang Lin's body. He continued to hug his wife's increasingly cold and stiff body.

"Call the palace healer. Call all the palace healers. Hurry along!" emperor Fang Yi shouted even more fearfully and anxiously.

His two children only looked transfixed, no one could make a sound to call his mother who was critical. No one could move his legs to get to his mother. They're all quiet. They're all scared. They were all stiff and could do nothing.

"Darling, be patient. Please be patient, don't go. The palace physician is coming. The court physician will examine you." emperor Fang Yi said increasingly anxious and fearful.

Shortly after, the palace physician came and checked on the state of empress Zhang Lin. All the court physicians took turns inspecting one by one. But the result remains the same. All the court healers said that Empress Zhang Lin had died. Empress Zhang Lin has died.

All wept at the words of the palace physician. Her two children were no longer strong and fainted upon hearing the news. They all could not believe what the palace healer said.

"My wife..."

"My dear.."

"My queen..."

"Zhang Lin's..."

Call emperor Fang Yi slowly. He kept hugging his wife. He could not believe his wife had died. He couldn't believe his wife was gone.

"My Empress, did you hear my voice?"

"My Empress, do you hear me?"

"My dear, open your eyes"

"My wife, I beg you"

Gently summon the emperor Fang Yi who was still hugging his wife tightly. She cried. Her chest feels very painful. He can barely breathe. He kept hugging his wife. He hoped his wife would breathe and return the tight hug. Emperor Fang Yi's tears never stopped, one by one the tears fell on his wife's cheeks. Emperor Fang Yi froze and fell silent while hugging his wife.

"Her Majesty the emperor. Let the servant bring the empress to her bed. Let the servant clean his body and dress him. Empress Zhang Lin should be cremated immediately" the palace maid said softly and hesitantly.

Emperor Fang Yi did not let his wife's body be touched by others. He carried her and took her to his bed. He cleaned his wife's body and gave her very beautiful clothes.

That night all the palace dwellers cried and waited in front of the eastern palace residence. Waiting for the body of the queen to be cremated. Only emperor Fang Yi and his two children accompanied the empress' remains. The entire night was all saddened by the news of empress Zhang Lin's death. No one can sleep. All eyes opened crying and lamenting the death of empress Zhang Lin.

Prince Fang Yi continued to stare at his wife's body. He held tightly to his wife's hand. He doesn't want to let go. He does not want to give up his love. He still wants to have more time with his wife.

"Dear wake. Please wake up. It's been too long for you to sleep. Wake up. Look everyone wants to see you. Aren't you tired of sleeping all day?" emperor Fang Yi whispered softly as he drowned his face in his wife's arm.

"I beg you to get up" said emperor Fang Yi, hugging his wife's frozen waist on his bed.
