Chapter 19 The Retired Emperor Wants to Have Millet Congee
She dragged her numb limps and walked to the bed where Yu Wenhao just lay on. As soon as she
slept on it, her whole body was trembling. What had happened these days was totally beyond her
imagination.
She failed in her research and kept running into weird things instead.
People said that science and theology would eventually reach the same end by different paths.
When the human brain was developed to a certain level, you could pick things up by psychokinesis and
come and go using teleportation. You would be able to automatically read all kinds of information, just
like the gods worshiped by man today.
She raised her trembling hand, trying to reach the box in her sleeve pocket to get a sense of reality.
The sleeve slid down, exposing her white wrist with a fresh red cut on it.
She was taken back and tried to recall when did she get that. Maybe it was from the fought she had
with Yu Wenhao just now.
Then she denied the answer. The blood on the edge of the cut had coagulated, and the sleeve was
also stained with blood. This must have been at least half an hour ago.
Half an hour ago?
Yuan Qingling squinted her eyes and remembered that while waiting outside the hall, she was thrown
away by Yu Wenhao, and Chu Mingcui came to support her.
She now wondered if Chu Mingcui had done more than just support.
She remembered that when Chu Mingcui retreated to Prince Wenqing’s side, she seemed surprised.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thinking of that, Yuan Qingling figured it out.
Chu Mingcui intentionally hurt her, but she failed because of the effect of the herbal tea. Yuan Qingling
would have got furious and sworn aloud before, which might get herself in prison or even killed given
how solemn the occasion was.
Yuan Qingling had a shiver run through her body. She could barely believe that she could be so
vicious.
Yuan Qingling originally thought Chu Mingcui was kind. After all, everyone looked at her disdainfully,
and only Chu Mingcui greeted her nicely.
Unexpectedly, under that pretty face hid a vicious soul.
She wanted to find a reasonable explanation for Chu Mingcui's behavior. For example, It was Yuan
Qingling who had destroyed her relationship with Wenhao and she had to marry Wenqing instead, so
she hated Yuan Qingling.
But that was still unacceptable.
If Chu Mingcui was mad at her, she could pay her back and accuse her in public, or even slap her in
the face, which was understandable. Her back-stabbing was too vicious.
She put down her hand. She could stop thinking about Chu Mingcui for now, but would everything go
well with the Retired Emperor? She wondered if the Retired Emperor would be willing to trust her.
She had read a lot of history books, including official and unofficial history, but she had never read
about a country called the North Tang. Therefore, the history she had studied couldn’t help her know
the temper of the Retired Emperor.
The uncertainty of her life and future was stifling her.
She was extremely exhausted and turned her head to look at Yu Wenhao lying on the ground. He was
like a sleeping lion. When he woke up, she would suffer again, unless the Retired Emperor could
summon her.
She put on a wry smile. She knew she saved the Retired Emperor partially for her own good.
She wouldn’t be able to survive in Prince Wenhao’s residence without protection.
In the sleeping hall of the Retired Emperor,
all the princes had entered the room and said goodbye to their grandfather. Now, everyone was
kneeling outside, waiting for the Retired Emperor to stop breathing.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn and sad. The air was almost mixed with the vapor of
tears. The Queen Mother and the noble concubine were both overwhelmed with grief, and the servants
had to take them out temporarily.
Emperor Mingyuan was also sitting outside, waiting for Eunuch Chang who was waiting inside to make
the announcement, then he would kneel to see his father leave the world.
Everyone was ready for that moment to come.
Finally, the dark curtain was lifted. Emperor Mingyuan frowned with his eyes full of sorrow. His limp
softened, but before he knelt, Eunuch Chang said with great joy, "His Majesty wants to have some
millet congee."
The Emperor freeze, and rushed over to see his father. He had already opened his eyes and was
stroking Lucky. He looked so much better than before.
"Hurry, tell the imperial kitchen to get some millet congee right now!" Emperor Mingyuan was overjoyed
with a tinge of excitement in his voice.
