Chapter 372

However,

Qin Mu's kind intention was enough to satisfy her, even if she were to die.

Zhangsun Wugou smiled as she took the pill, then slowly closed her eyes.

Everything was over.

I am tired!

To still have Qin Mu by my side before I die.

Hehe!

It is enough!

Zhangsun Wugou closed her eyes peacefully, preparing to meet the end of her life.

Boom!

Suddenly!

A scorching surge of Qi and blood flowed wildly through Zhangsun Wugou's body.

She felt as if her internal organs were burning.

"Ah!"

Unable to bear the pain, Zhangsun Wugou let out a cry.

Sweat poured down like rain, and her face turned as red as fire.

"Mu'er, what did you give me to eat?"

Zhangsun Wugou suddenly opened her eyes, gritting her teeth and enduring the intense pain within her body.

"To be reborn, one must endure a thousand hardships and dangers."

Leaving behind these words, Qin Mu turned and left the bedchamber.

At the entrance of the bedchamber,

Changle curled up, leaning against a huge red stone pillar.

Her thin body in front of the towering stone pillar looked just like a poor, shivering little kitten.

Tears slid down Changle's face, hitting the ground.

One drop, two drops...

Soon,

the ground was soaked.

Tears fell like rain!

Watching the lonely Changle, Li Xueyan's heart ached as if it were being twisted, and she covered her mouth tightly to keep herself from crying out.

Soon!

Soon she would be a child without a home again!

"Sister Changle, Sister Xueyan, don't be sad anymore. If the Empress sees you like this, she will feel even worse."

Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth, enduring the pain in her heart, and comforted Li Xueyan and Changle.

It was quite interesting.

Wu Meiniang was the youngest, but in the face of the sudden situation, she appeared the most composed.

"Miss Wu is right; two Princesses, please accept your grief."

Li Shizhen did not leave but kept watch here.

He had to be prepared at all times.

As a legendary physician, he understood Zhangsun Wugou's condition better than anyone.

It could be described in one sentence.

On the verge of death!

If Zhangsun Wugou were to die in the next second, Li Shizhen would not be surprised at all.

Having overdrawn decades of heart's blood and still tirelessly burning her life,

it was a miracle that Zhangsun Wugou could persist until now.

"Creak!"

The door of the bedchamber opened.

Qin Mu walked out slowly from inside.

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Meiniang came to Qin Mu's side at the first opportunity and bowed respectfully.

She wanted to ask something, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips.

In terms of status and identity, it was not her place to ask at this moment.

"Brother-in-law, how is Mother?"

Seeing Qin Mu walk out, Changle also hurriedly stood up and ran to him to ask anxiously.

"She is fine."

Qin Mu answered indifferently and walked straight away from the bedchamber.

"Fine? What does that mean?"

Changle looked at Qin Mu's departing back with a face full of confusion.

"I don't know either."

Li Xueyan also stood there in a daze, shaking her head in confusion.

"Does His Majesty mean that the Empress has already recovered?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly spoke up.

"Silly sister, how is that possible? Didn't Physician Li say that Mother was beyond medical help?" Changle smiled miserably in despair.

That smile was even uglier than crying.

"That's right, Miss Wu. The Empress's illness is incurable, even if a great immortal were to descend to earth," Li Shizhen said firmly.

Having practiced medicine for so many years, he had never misdiagnosed.

Even at this very moment.

"Perhaps His Majesty saw you were sad and wanted to comfort you?"

How he wished he were a quack who had misdiagnosed.

But Zhangsun Wugou's weak pulse could not deceive anyone.

"Then... perhaps I thought too much?"

Wu Meiniang smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

But she always felt that what Qin Mu said was not meant as comfort.

"Changle, Xueyan."

Suddenly!

A familiar voice rang out from behind everyone.

Changle and the others turned around abruptly.

Zhangsun Wugou stood calmly at the entrance of the bedchamber.

With bright eyes and white teeth, her lips were red and her teeth were white!

Her complexion did not look at all like that of a dying person.

"Mother!?"

Changle widened her eyes and ran over in ecstasy.

Li Xueyan stayed where she was and patted her own cheeks.

It hurt!

This was not a dream!

It was real!

Wu Meiniang was even more shocked beyond measure.

She had just seen Zhangsun Wugou on the verge of death with her own eyes; how could she look so radiant now?

Looking at her complexion, she even looked better than before!

"My heavens! What on earth is going on?"

Li Shizhen also looked at Zhangsun Wugou in utter shock.
