"Your Majesty…"

Shu Guifei's voice was as faint as a wisp of smoke, as if she would faint at any moment, yet she used all her strength to hold the dagger, shielding Jiang Chen from danger with her body.

"Yun'er!"

Jiang Chen roared with heart-wrenching grief, his eyes bloodshot, reaching out to protect her, but touching only increasingly cold skin and her ever-weakening pulse.

Jiang Chen felt his breathing stop!

He was afraid that even the slightest movement would cause further harm to the person in his arms!

At this moment, the old nanny, fearing that Shu Guifei wouldn't die, raised her hand again.

Jiang Chen's eyes were about to split, and as he was about to retaliate, the guards arrived.

After cutting off the nanny's arm, they surrounded Shu Guifei and Jiang Chen, while the other servants ran quickly to the Imperial Physician's Office to fetch the on-duty medical officers.

Surrounded by everyone,

Jiang Chen's face was stiff, his body icy cold.

Shu Guifei's beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her fair face was tinged with bluish-black, and the wound where she was stabbed kept gushing out dark purple blood.

Poison!

Jiang Chen shuddered.

Endless fear gripped his heart.

"Yun'er, don't sleep, wake up… Imperial Physician, the Imperial Physician will be here soon!" Jiang Chen's hot tears fell.

At this moment, he was no longer the all-powerful, unexcelled emperor.

But an ordinary man about to lose the woman he loved!

Feeling the warm liquid dripping on her skin,

Shu Guifei used her last bit of strength to barely open her eyes.

At the end of her life, she wanted to see Jiang Chen one last time, to see the man she had loved with all her being.

"Your Majesty… are, are you safe? This concubine, this concubine is so worried about you."

Jiang Chen was stunned.

In her dying moments, Shu Guifei was still thinking about him, worried about him!

The hand he used to hold Shu Guifei's delicate body began to tremble.

"I'm fine… Yun'er, Yun'er, don't talk, conserve your strength, wait for the Imperial Physician! They are the best doctors in Da Wei, they will definitely heal you!"

As if sensing Jiang Chen's nervousness, Shu Guifei's dim eyes also sparkled with tears.

She also couldn't bear to leave Jiang Chen! She couldn't bear to leave like this!

She hadn't given birth to a dragon son for His Majesty yet… it was such a pity, she might not have the chance in this life.

Tears welled up, and Shu Guifei felt her body getting colder and colder.

A bitter look flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she looked at Jiang Chen, not wanting to blink.

"Your Majesty, Yun'er is going to disobey you this time… there are so many things in my heart, if I don't say them now, there will be no chance later."

Black blood spilled from her red lips, and she used all her strength to raise her hand and gently caress Jiang Chen's face.

"Your Majesty looking at Yun'er like this, Yun'er is so happy… to be able to die in Your Majesty's arms can be considered fulfilling Yun'er's wish, it's just a pity that I couldn't give birth to an heir for you…"

"Cough cough… Your Majesty, will you remember Yun'er in the future? When Yun'er is gone, will you just throw Yun'er to the back of your mind?"

As she spoke, her tone became somewhat sad, as if recalling something, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Your Majesty, can, can you leave a place for Yun'er in your heart? Yun'er is not greedy… a very small, very corner place is fine! As long as you can occasionally think of Yun'er…"

As if the pain was unbearable, Shu Guifei's voice suddenly stopped, and her fair face twisted.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen burst into tears, feeling as if ten thousand arrows were piercing his heart!

"Where are the Imperial Physicians? Where have all the Imperial Physicians gone?!"

"If they don't arrive soon, I will chop off their heads!"

Seeing the Emperor's rage, the guards were sweating profusely.

They had already sent dozens of elites to the Imperial Physician's Office, but the journey was long and they could not return in a short time.

At this moment, Shu Guifei seemed to have recovered, and her spirits were strangely improved, with a flush on her face.

"Your Majesty, anger hurts the body, please don't be angry… This concubine, this concubine feels much better now."

"Yun'er, you…"

Jiang Chen choked, his teeth clenched tightly.

He dared not reveal his true emotions.

He was afraid, afraid that Shu Guifei's current recovery was just a final flash of life.

"Yun'er, I said, you are my wife! How could I forget my wife?"

"You must hold on, you haven't given birth to an heir for me yet, you haven't been named Empress by me yet, you haven't seen me clear the court and give the people a peaceful and prosperous life… With so many things not done, how can you die?!"

Shu Guifei was glad that she was clear-headed at this moment.

To be able to hear these promises and see Jiang Chen losing his composure for her, she had no regrets in this life!

A glimmer of light flashed in her dim eyes, and she mustered the courage to say, "Your Majesty, when this concubine was unmarried, I often heard people around me say that couples with good relationships would call each other by their first names, Yun'er, can Yun'er call you Chen-ge?"

"Yes! You can call me whatever you want!"

Jiang Chen carefully hugged Shu Guifei, his eyes full of tears, his vision blurred.

"Chen-ge… since my coming-of-age ceremony, I have been looking forward to what kind of person my future husband, who will accompany me for the rest of my life, will be. I think he must be a peerless hero who will set up a ten-mile-long dowry to marry me!"

"Later… I received the imperial decree to enter the palace. You don't know how happy I was at that moment. I vowed to be a wife who could match you, but after entering the palace, you were annoyed as soon as you saw me, and later you ordered that I not be allowed to appear in front of you. Yun'er was really sad at that time."

"Once, I saw you and Consort Mei in the palace. You were so gentle to her, and the smile on your face was something I had never seen before. Yun'er was so envious… These days, you have been by Yun'er's side, and you have also punished those who bullied Yun'er. Every day of my life seems like a dream…"

She showed a sweet smile and looked at Jiang Chen with tenderness in her eyes.

"Chen-ge, Yun'er is already satisfied with these few days of beauty. Now the dream should wake up… You, you must take care of yourself, don't be too sad, it will hurt your body…" A hint of worry surged between her brows, unable to let go of Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen couldn't make a sound at this time.

The pain of his heart being cut like a knife made him tremble all over.

He vowed that he would never let Shu Guifei die, he would make her the happiest woman in the world!

"Yun'er, hold on!"

"Now you are the only family I have left, you are not allowed to leave!"

Jiang Chen roared heart-breakingly, extremely saddened.

Shu Guifei fainted again at this time, and her pulse disappeared rapidly.

Noticing this, a touch of decisiveness flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Without hesitation, he picked up Shu Guifei and, surrounded by the guards, rushed out of the palace gate and ran outside…

At this time, outside the imperial city,

The Five City Vanguard had also arrived and completely blocked the roads leading to the outside world, cutting off any channels for transmitting information.

Those aristocratic children who had been instigated by the Mei family and surrounded Yingtian Gate were also all detained and locked in prison without causing the slightest ripple.

As for the military generals who were being monitored by the dark guards, they were all very well-behaved. Even if they heard strange noises from the outside world, they all pretended that nothing had happened and stayed at home obediently.

Tonight, the imperial city was already uneasy.

But what everyone did not expect was that after dawn, what awaited them was an even greater storm…
