Chapter 563 Hanging one’s life
Chapter 563 Hanging one’s life
The disease came on violently, and no matter how many medicines Quan Si gave her, it was of no use. Chu Qingmeng was already dying. Ling Xian felt her pulse with a frown on his face, and finally had to let her take the Qianyuan Pill to save her life.
"This thing is both poison and medicine. It can temporarily improve her spirits for a day, but after taking it, her life will be over. Her body can't hold on any longer. Are you ready to let her complete what she wants?"
Ling Xian's words were like a critical illness notice. Mo Yunting was completely devastated. "Really... is there no more?"
Hearing his sobs, Ling Xian patted his shoulder and said, "It's not a bad thing. After her death, she will ascend to heaven. In a sense, it can be regarded as a rebirth after death. She will remember you, always."
Mo Yunting's tears flowed unconsciously, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Please tell me and listen."
"When the plan succeeds, I will let her enter the palace as my daughter, and I want her to be the crown prince. I know this is meaningless, but I just want to leave some trace of her. Can you promise me?" Mo Yunting had no way to express the pain in his heart.
"Okay." Ling Xian agreed.
The effect of Qianyuan Dan was very quick. Chu Qingmeng's high fever subsided and he woke up.
After a few days of rest, Chu Qingmeng had recovered a lot, except for his frighteningly pale face.
Mo Yunting fed her the medicine, and when he touched her pale little face, his heart was broken.
In the past, she would never let anyone feed her medicine, and she always complained that it was too bitter and wanted to drink it all. But now, she drinks it spoonful by spoonful, and she swallows it all with an expressionless face.
"In three days, we will lead our troops into the city. Mengmeng, can you still hold on?" Mo Yunting rubbed her hair, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Okay." Chu Qingmeng agreed with a smile, "After this battle, Daddy's throne will be secure. The world will be at peace."
"Yeah." Mo Yunting forced a smile.
Chu Qingmeng's condition improved, and Mo Yunting finally had time to deal with Song Lian. He confiscated his property, imprisoned him, and tortured him for only one night. The world was turned upside down and people were in panic.
Mo Yunting made a big fuss when dealing with Song Lian. A sixth-rank official wouldn't be subject to such a big fuss.
Mo Chenfeng keenly guessed that there must be something hidden behind this matter, so he called several brothers to the palace to discuss the matter, but he did not think about the concubine left by Aunt Liu.
Facing Mo Chenfeng's various speculations, Mo Liujin sighed and told the truth, "Father, there's no need to guess. The upper position is just a way to vent Qingmeng's anger."
"What do you mean?" Mo Chenfeng didn't know all the information about Aunt Liu. She was just a tool to him, a tool to shield Chen Siyu from the word "jealous", a tool to vent his desires, a tool to pass on the family line, and this tool was the only one that didn't have the word "favorite".
"Song Lian is my aunt Liu Die's husband and the father of the concubine in my house." Mo Liujin didn't want to admit it, but he had to.
"You haven't dealt with that person yet?" Mo Chenfeng frowned.
Mo Liujin forced a wry smile, "Qing Meng wouldn't let me do anything with it. She also didn't do anything with it, so she just kept it in the yard."
Mo Chenfeng subconsciously asked, "Where is my son?"
"I went to Ruzhou for business a month ago. After I came back, I went to the fifth floor and haven't returned yet." Mo Liujin felt weak all over.
Mo Liuyuan looked at him in shock, and the others also looked at him in shock, anger, or confusion.
"Why don't you go and bring the person back?!" Mo Chenfeng was furious. Liu was really something. Even after her death, she still wanted to disturb the peace of this family!
"My son is gone and can't even get through the main door. Even Jiang Qing and Jiang Che are not allowed in. She reads and handles official business by the window every day, but as of today, she hasn't opened the window for thirteen days." Mo Liujin felt that he was about to go crazy from being suppressed.
Mo Liufang closed his eyes helplessly. He didn't understand why Chu Qingmeng had made such a fuss. She was just a concubine, so why not just deal with her? Why did he have to make things so difficult for himself?
Mo Chenfeng glared at Mo Liujin fiercely, "Call Jiang Qing and Jiang Che over later, and have your mother go with you to the fifth floor to bring her back! Deal with that woman before she comes back!"
But before Chen Siyu and the others could go find Chu Qingmeng, someone from the General's Mansion came to report, "Master! The Princess is back!"
Mo Liujin instantly became energetic and immediately took his leave and returned to the general's mansion.
"Mother, why can't you even see your son?" Mo Jiangqing couldn't help but frown when he saw Chu Qingmeng's lifeless eyes.
Before Chu Qingmeng came back, she asked Shuang Cheng to put makeup on her. Now her skin didn't look so frighteningly pale anymore. "I've been so busy these past few days. What else can I do to see you guys besides nagging me? Besides, I'll come back naturally after I finish my work."
"Mother, haven't you missed your son for the past month?" Mo Jiangche deliberately tested her. He knelt in front of Chu Qingmeng and fell on her knees. In a moment, the cold temperature penetrated his clothes and reached his face.
Chu Qingmeng gently stroked his hair. "Why do I miss you? Tomorrow will be forty-five days, and it will be my Jinse's full moon banquet. I miss my grandchildren."
Although Chu Qingmeng tried to cover it up again and again, the fatigue in her tone could still be seen. Mo Jiangqing's brows jumped violently, as his mother seemed to be ill.
