Refusing to Serve Me? Then Off With Your Head!

Chapter 59

From a Small Beginning, We Could See the End

The journey back to the palace felt slow and long. I grasped onto his hands and could feel them turning colder. He was gradually losing consciousness as he spoke, "....... The empress is to look over the kingdom. Investigate the kings' secret troops in regards to the assassination attempt." My heart twisted up in a ball.

Wu Ke went to do his bidding personally. His brother, Wu Yong was left to protect us. There was another carriage behind us, carrying a heavily-injured Yan Ping.

Everytime Feng Zhao Wen closed his eyes, I would whispers to his ears to tell him to wake up.

His phoenix eyes slowly lost it's glow. I gritted my teeth as I whispered in his ears, "Feng Zhao Wen, if you don't wake up, I will rule as a regent and kill your great kingdom!"

The late empress dowager was the previous regent of the previous dynasty. Didn't it crumbled under her hands?

The corner of his lips curl, "You are so lazy..... You sleeps all day, where will you find the time to do all that hard work?"

When he said that, I finally realized how lazy I had been. All I did was eat, and then after that, sleep.

"If you don't wake up, I will marry another man! I will make the child in my tummy call him 'Father!'" This method was better than begging and imploring, right?

I gave him a proud, desolate smile. Big droplets of tears fell from my eyes onto his face. He slowly forced himself to open his eyes.

"You are so..... ugly when you cry...."

I glared at him angrily, but my eyes soon turned blurry from the tears. There seemed to be daggers inside my chest, giving me clear, sharp pain.

It was a feeling I had not felt for a long time. The last time I felt this was during that dark night, after Father died. I didn't think the sun would come up. As I stood on the snowy grounds that turned into blisteringly hot summer, I dug a pit without any hesitation and buried myself in it. Just as I thought I was destined to remain there, tortured until all that was left was my bones, a certain someone gave me his hand and held me tight. Cherishing me, loving me... There had always been a trace of apprehension in my heart. I did not understand what the reason for this love was. It scared me, but also drew me in, at the same time. As he stood in front of me, bathed in blood, an overpowering feeling of grief surged inside me.

Other than love, what else could it be that made me feel this way?

The world before my eyes suddenly changed; the wounds that I had were minor, but why did breathing felt so laborious? The most painful part was not my physical wounds, but my heart when I realized that he was losing temperature. I could feel my heart breaking inside.

Zhong Hua Palace was messy. I grabbed the Head Imperial Physician by his beard and maniacally asked him, "Is there any chance for him to live?"

If he gave me a disappointing answer, I was ready to kill him right then and there.

He ignored my threats and shook my hands away. The four towering maids behind me held me still. Buckets and buckets of diluted blood were carried away, it was almost like they were a river that ran forever.

The hall was so quiet that all that I could hear was the sound of heavy breathing and the movement of the Head of Imperial Physician.

By the time the sun rose, the Head of Imperial Physician finally took the golden needles away, wiping his forehead. He heaved a long sigh, "His Majesty's heartbeat finally turned stable. Had the blade been three inches longer, His Majesty wouldn't have survived. However, his injury is too heavy. We cannot tell when he will wake up...."
