Qing Xuan, so he was prepared.Qingxuan was astonished. She took the paper package from Su You, and discovered inside was osmanthus cake, which both she and Nangong Ye loved very much.Qingxuan looked u...The strong stench made it hard for the guards to open their eyes.

A man, his whole body wrapped in bandages, is struggling to nod his head slightly.

Although it was a very slight movement, the other person seemed to have used all their strength to achieve that effect.

And the one lying in bed was emitting a groan, as if from the throes of death, most agonizing.

The King is still alive!

This...how is this possible!

The guards, gripping the blankets tightly, were trembling with fear.

Qingxuan, filled with fury, slapped a guard across the face.

"You lowly dog, do you think you can just disrespect the Lord"

After Qingxuan finished scolding, she rushed out of the room.

The courtyard reeked of a foul stench, making one nauseous. Even from afar, standing at the entrance, Jiang Fei could only cover her nose with a silk scarf.

Suddenly, a turquoise figure shot out from inside.

"Your Majesty, I beg of you to help Qingxuan!"

Just as she was smearing mud, she gritted her teeth and deliberately stained herself with it. At this moment, she moved with incredible speed and rushed to the front of Empress Jiang.

In fact, Zhang Jin could have reacted and stopped Qingxuan.

But now Qingxuan is his master, now he wants to repay his gratitude and can't wait, how could he stop Qingxuan.

A foul smell hit Ginger Fei before she could react. She stared in disbelief at Qingxuan, who was kneeling before her, hugging her legs tightly.

Besides the dirt on her body, Qing Xuan rubbed her nose and tears hard against Jiang Fei's body.

"Daughter-in-law, you…"

The ginger concubine retched and tried to step back, but Qingxuan was very strong. She didn't give the ginger concubine any chance to get away.

Ching-xuan cried out, "My Empress Dowager, the Wangye is in such a state now. This daughter-in-law understands your kindness towards me, so I ordered someone to clean up the mess inside the courtyard. But that guard dared to disrespect the Wangye! Although the Wangye is only breathing his last breath, he was still the Wangye. Even in his downfall, he wished to maintain a shred of dignity before death. But just now, that guard…"

After a moment of choked sobs, Qing Xuan, in order to make her sorrow seem more genuine, wept until she cried herself hoarse. Even her tears splashed onto Jiang Fei's skirt, woven from gold thread with hidden floral patterns.

The ginger concubine hurriedly gave Li Ma Ma, who was beside her, a wink. Only then did Li Ma Ma step forward and pull Qing Xuan away from her.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. This was done improperly by the servants, and our Lady will definitely make things right for you."

The ginger concubine was still covering her mouth with a silk handkerchief, trying to stifle her nausea. A guard emerged from the courtyard, his head covered in dust and dirt, and gave the ginger concubine a look.

Qingxuan pretended not to see and continued crying and making a scene: “Empress Jiang, my husband has been humiliated, you must make things right for him!”

This time, she didn't make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, Empress Ginger might have had the guards enter the courtyard every few days to clean up after Nangong Ye, making it too easy to be exposed and reveal her true intentions.

Qingxuan finished speaking and immediately took action, drawing a sword from the guard's waist and holding it to her own neck. Her face was resolute and devoid of any hope.

“When I got married, my mother repeatedly told me that husband and wife should be united. Even though your Highness is seriously ill now, I must not slack off. Before, when I saw your Highness like this, I also considered retreating. But later on, I gradually understood that my destiny and your Highness's are tied together, and there is no escape. Since this is the case, I thought about taking good care of your Highness so that even in this difficult situation, your Highness could retain a shred of dignity. But now, Qing Xuan is incompetent, and even your Highness's last shred of dignity cannot be protected. It is my fault towards your Highness, so now I will die to apologize!”

If she were to die today in front of Empress Jiang, it would implicate her in the death of her daughter-in-law. If things escalated, Empress Jiang's reputation would be ruined.

"Daughter-in-law, wait!"

The ginger concubine, startled, stopped retching and hurried forward to snatch the sword from Qing Xuan's hand. She swung it towards the guard's eyes.

A guard cried out in pain, and from that moment on, his eyes were ruined.

This guard has been following Empress Jiang this whole time, he must be someone she trusts.

Now, it could be considered that the Jiang Fei has paid a very small price.

Qingxuan pretended to be frightened by the actions of Ginger Concubine, her face turned pale and she trembled all over.

"My Empress, this is..."

The ginger concubine closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, “This guard was blind, but he also preserved Ye'er's dignity.”s lit up.She raised her other hand.Qingxuan: "Look."Now he just wants to look at her.Although she was right in front of him, he still felt like he couldn't get enough of her.But the next instant, when...
