Chapter 370

Wu Meiniang was also terrified, standing there at a loss.

Ever since she entered the palace, Zhangsun Wugou had been taking care of her like a kind mother.

This made Wu Meiniang feel a rare warmth in her heart.

"What happened?"

Qin Mu frowned and asked.

"I don't know, Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Changle was crying like a tear-stained person, looking at Qin Mu in despair.

"Wei Zhongxian!"

"This servant is here!"

"Go and call Li Shizhen over."

"This servant obeys!"

In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhongxian disappeared without a trace.

Inside the bedchamber,

Zhangsun Wugou lay on the sickbed.

Her breathing was as thin as a thread!

Li Shizhen sat by the bed, carefully taking her pulse, his brows knitted into a knot.

Qin Mu and the others stood quietly to the side.

After a long time,

Li Shizhen stood up with a grave expression.

"Physician Li, how is Mother?"

Changle asked anxiously.

"Sigh!" Li Shizhen shook his head and said: "The Empress was already physically weak, and giving birth repeatedly over these years has led to a depletion of Qi and blood, reaching the point of exhaustion. Coupled with the Empress's internal distress, this has occurred. A person's energy always has its limits; the Empress has exhausted her heart's blood, and she has already..."

Li Shizhen did not continue.

But everyone present understood what he meant.

"No! It can't be! Mother won't die!"

Changle had already broken down in tears, crying until she was convulsing, shaking her head and shouting desperately.

Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang also covered their mouths, sobbing uncontrollably.

Could such a kind and virtuous woman really be dying just like this?

Heavens, why are you so unfair?

Qin Mu did not say a word, silently looking at Zhangsun Wugou, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Physician Li, I beg you, save my mother! Even if I have to trade my own life for hers, I would not hesitate!"

Changle completely collapsed, falling to her knees in front of Li Shizhen with a thud.

She had never knelt to anyone in her life.

"Princess, please calm down. This old man is a human, not a god. If I could save her, I would certainly do my utmost. It's just... it's just that the Empress is at the end of her rope, and it is beyond human capability."

Li Shizhen said with difficulty.

Just then, the unconscious Zhangsun Wugou woke up.

"Changle, Xueyan, you don't need to be sad. Everyone has their own fate; my fate is meant to be this way, and I cannot blame anyone else."

A faint smile hung on Zhangsun Wugou's pale face.

Even though she was burning with internal pain, she was still forcing herself to comfort her daughters.

"Mother!"

"Wuwuwu!"

Li Xueyan and Changle could no longer hold back, collapsing in front of the bed and wailing.
