Refusing to Serve Me? Then Off With Your Head!

Chapter 62

A Different Kind of Outcome

E Huang wiped her tears in grievance, trying to excuse herself, "This servant was just too happy to see His Majesty waking up and wanted to inform Her Ladyship. This servant was too tired from all the running and didn't have time to speak... Who would have thought that Her Ladyship would run away the moment she heard the beginning of my first sentence."

Unfortunately, it was too late.

At the moment, I was rolling around the dragon bed in pain. The anxious Feng Zhao Wen was right next to me, ordering the Head of Imperial Physician to help me.

E Huang was ordered by the furious emperor to be taken outside to be hit twenty times. Despite my pain, I tried to stop him, but in the end, she still had to endure ten hits. When she came back in again to thank our grace, her face was full of tears. The smile on her face did not fade. Though she wobbled a lot, those ten hits were not light.

The Head of Imperial Physician had checked my pulse and immediately brewed some tonic to stabilize fetus. After I drank it, the pain subsided. Feng Zhao Wen rested his head against mine as we laid down on the dragon bed. He could not make big movements to avoid re-opening his wounds. Even a little bit of movement could cause his wounds to bleed again. He held my hand tight, as though he was about to break my bones. The expression on his face was calm, though.

"You..... When did you start feeling pain again?"

I didn't think this was a question worth probing over. There was something really bothering me though. "When did you woke up, Your Majesty?"

"It should be around when you were about to return from the court."

"Amitabha!" I gave my humble gratitude to the gods.

Feng Zhao Wen pinched my nose with his fingers, "When did you start getting involved with religion?"

I poked him in the lips, "The gods are up there, stop saying nonsense!" I had never been this religious before.

Ever since I found out that he had woken up, I inevitably embraced religion because only the gods could return my loved ones like this.

He laughed, not looking down on me at all.

I felt like the previous menacing man had changed skin. Once one got closer and closer to him, he would retract his claws.

Now that he had woken up, there were myriads of things that he needed to handle.

He rested for two days. Once he could get up, he summoned the ministers to Zhong Hua Palace. Maybe those people knew I was listening from behind a screen while resting on the dragon bed, or perhaps, they were taking into account of His Majesty's deep love for me, they kept praising me in front of him.

I was pregnant with the dragon seed, I was brave and courageous, I was quick in making decisions, I was extraordinary, etc..... I had to admit, other than the 'pregnant with the dragon seed' part, everything else were blind lies.

They probably didn't think this way when I was ordering them to be hit with planks. Now they had changed their tunes, praising me non-stop in front of His Majesty.

I buried my head under the silk blanket, laughing so hard that my entire body trembled. I had to restrain myself; I must not alarm those ministers who were praising me to the heavens.

For those old men who had been living for such a long time, it must have took a lot for them to be saying all that. If they heard me laughing at them, where would they hide their faces?
