Chapter 30: The Death of a Beautiful Lady (3)
"No, don't worry about me, don't worry about me, Your Majesty, please put an end to this meaningless battle. Even if I die, I will not become a stumbling block that troubles Your Majesty—"
From a weak and feeble voice to a shout, Lin Wei shouted loudly towards Zhao Ziheng. She wanted to break free from Zhao Zixi's hand, but he held her too tightly and she couldn't get away at all. She couldn't even relax her strength. Of course, it was not only because she was a woman, it was probably also related to the fact that she had not eaten for a long time and was sick.
Lin Wei's words did not make Zhao Ziheng make a decision. He looked at Lin Wei on the high wall and hesitated...
"emperor--"
Lin Wei was extremely anxious. She didn't want to become a stumbling block for Zhao Ziheng.
Zhao Ziheng couldn't listen to Lin Wei's words. When Lin Wei was really faced with the threat, he really didn't know what to do. He thought that at this moment he could make a decision, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't do it.
At this moment, the third palace gate suddenly opened from the inside.
"Your Majesty, the palace gate has been opened——"
"What?"
A messenger reported the situation to Zhao Zixi, whose face suddenly changed. He looked at Zhao Ziheng under the wall. Zhao Zixi said nothing and retreated from the wall with Lin Wei, followed by guards...
Three guards in black armor ran towards Zhao Ziheng from the opened palace gate. "Your Majesty, I am very sorry. The Queen has been unwilling to let us approach the Zhonghe Hall, and Prince Ling has been by the Queen's side, so -"
In fact, after Zhao Ziheng left Lin Wei, he ordered his subordinates in the palace to protect her, fearing that Zhao Zixi would take her hostage. Unexpectedly, it still happened. If it was Lin Wei's intention, what was Lin Wei thinking? Zhao Ziheng was puzzled...
"emperor--"
Zhao Ziyin's voice brought Zhao Ziheng back to his senses from his deep thoughts . The palace gate was opened where the royal army and the palace army were fighting. They wanted to close the palace gate before the royal army attacked. Seeing this situation, Zhao Ziheng could no longer be distracted by Lin Wei's thoughts. He made a gesture and issued an order...
"……attack!"
After understanding Zhao Ziheng's intention, Zhao Ziyin commanded the entire army to start the attack. The royal army broke through the last palace gate in one go and began to suppress the palace. The rebels in the palace were in complete chaos. Some fled, some committed suicide, some surrendered, and some were resisting in vain. The generals except Zhao Ziheng and Zhao Ziyin led troops to suppress the rebels, and Zhao Ziheng and his men of course pursued the mastermind Zhao Zixi. Zhao Zixi, who was on the run, evacuated to the harem under the protection of his trusted guards...
"You, you can't escape—"
"Shut up--"
"Surrender, he will not do anything to you——"
"Shut up, I don't need his sympathy."
During the evacuation, Lin Wei, who was held in his arms, had pale lips and felt very powerless as she made a final .
“Ugh, poof—”
Suddenly, the pain that Lin Wei had been suppressing in her chest turned into blood and spurted out of her throat. Then, she completely lost her strength and collapsed to the ground from Zhao Zixi's arms...
"Weier——"
“Ahem—”
Lin Wei covered her mouth and kept coughing, blood oozing out from between her fingers. Only then did Zhao Zixi realize that Lin Wei's skirt was already stained with blood, and her face was pale without any color at all...
"you--"
I know that having a miscarriage while the fetus is still formed will cause serious harm to Lin Wei's body, so I didn't do anything crazy when I held her before, and I tried my best to suppress my desires, because I didn't want her to suffer great harm. However, Lin Wei hadn't eaten a single drop of water or rice in the past few days, and I had just been taking Lin Wei everywhere, which brought unexpected changes to her body, causing the worst situation to finally happen...
"Found it, here—"
The pursuing Wang Jun found Zhao Zixi and his companions in the corridor of the back garden of the harem, and began to call for his companions...
“Tsk—”
Zhao Zixi ignored the pursuers, picked up Lin Wei who was slumped on the ground and continued to flee...
"Be patient, I will take you to see the imperial physician now—"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zixi did not flee, but ran to the Imperial Hospital where the imperial physician was.
The pursuers sent by the advance royal army chased Zhao Zixi to the Imperial Hospital, which was in chaos just like other places. Seeing this, Zhao Zixi first put Lin Wei on the bed in a room in the Imperial Hospital, and then grabbed an imperial physician to treat Lin Wei...
"how's it going?"
Zhao Zixibo was impatient to ask the imperial physician who had just examined Lin Wei. At this time, Lin Wei was already in a semi-comatose state. How could the imperial physician who had just examined her answer this question easily? He could only feel Lin Wei's pulse in panic...
"I asked you how she is—"
Zhao Zixi, who did not get an immediate answer, yelled at the imperial physician.
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment—"
From the imperial physician's trembling words, Zhao Zixi knew that he was too anxious, but he just couldn't help being anxious. After a while...
"How do you see——"
Zhao Zixi saw that the imperial physician seemed to have figured out the answer, so he asked hurriedly.
"The Empress, she——"
Although he learned the result, the imperial physician did not dare to say it out loud, because he knew that if he was not careful, he would die immediately.
"What happened to her? Tell me quickly—"
"Yes, yes, Madam, the baby in her belly has been aborted--"
"And what else? How is her own condition?"
"My own situation, my own situation——"
In response to Zhao Zixi's questions, the imperial physician was slurred and dared not speak directly, and his expression was extremely terrified. What Zhao Zixi wanted to know was not the baby in her belly, but Lin Wei's own condition. For the imperial physician who knew Lin Wei's own condition, he would be killed if he told the result...
"Hurry up and tell me. If you hesitate again, I will kill you right now—"
As soon as Zhao Zixi's words came out, the imperial physician was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"The queen herself was extremely weak, and she was running around too much while having a high fever. In addition, she was in an extremely unstable mental state for a long time, which caused her condition to deteriorate. Although she is now conscious, the miscarriage caused the queen's already extremely weak body to collapse. In other words—"
"Does that mean I'll die?"
The imperial physician lowered his head even lower, pressed it against the ground, his whole body trembling, and he dared not answer...
"Rubbish, useless stuff—"
"ah--"
Zhao Zixi came to the conclusion and drew his sword without mercy to kill the imperial physician. "No, I won't let anything happen to you, absolutely not--"
After killing the imperial physician, Zhao Zixi put away his sword and hurried to Lin Wei's bedside and held her hand tightly. Since she was in a semi-comatose state, Lin Wei quickly reacted to Zhao Zixi's actions and voice...
"Surrender, and stop fighting the emperor to the death—"
Lin Wei looked at Zhao Zixi and spoke weakly...
"The Emperor, the Emperor doesn't want you to die. If you put down your weapons and surrender now, he will definitely not attack you—"
"No, don't talk anymore. I will find a way to heal you, so don't say anything more--"
Regardless of Lin Wei's persuasion or her thoughts at the moment, seeing Lin Wei's pale face and weak , Zhao Zixi knew that speaking would only deplete her physical strength faster. In order to let her hold on, Zhao Zixi had to stop her from continuing to speak.
"Your Majesty, the King of Zhao has brought his men to surround us—"
A guard rushed in to report the situation to Zhao Zixi. Perhaps he had expected it, so Zhao Zixi was not too shaken. He just thought that he came at the wrong time.
