Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 1004: Chapter 104 I am Going to Accompany Them_1 Chapter 1004: Chapter 104 I am Going to Accompany Them_1 She turned around, struggling, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, “Xuanhe why, why?”

Prince of Wutong looked at her without expression, whispering, “The former Ali had long passed away. In fact, the Ali in my heart had been long gone. You are the Empress, yet you colluded with the Prince of Zhao to forge a will with intentions to usurp the throne. Now, I shall send you to your end.”

The Empress clutched her stomach, fresh blood flowing from her nose and mouth, “You, how dare you?”

“It is I who was wrong, gravely wrong. I have paid the price for it.” The Prince of Wutong said softly, “My wife is dead, my daughter is also no more, and even my grandchild is gone. I’ve let them down, thus, I must join them.”

He raised the long sword, still dripping with blood, and swung it towards his own neck.

“Prince!”

“My lord, no–”

Calls of his subordinates and guards echoed around him.

They rushed forward to stop him.

But it was too late.

From the moment the Princess Consort touched the wall, he had lost the desire to live.

The only reason he came here was to end the tragic relationship between himself and the Empress.

The Empress stared blankly at his fallen body, speechless.

It was only then that someone rushed forward to save her.

Li You ran the fastest, yelling for the Imperial Physician.

The Imperial Physician arrived, but the Empress could no longer hold on.

The Prince of Wutong never intended to let her live.

The Empress was dead.

Her death was a mystery.

Most people didn’t know about her ties with the Prince of Wutong. They only thought that the Prince had lost his mind after the loss of his wife and daughter and killed the Empress out of revenge.

Having lost both of his main patrons, the grand play of succession by Prince Li You had come to an end.

But he couldn’t accept it.

He still had some cards up his sleeve.

“Wenren Zong, protect me. As long as we have the green hills, we will not run out of firewood. Let’s leave this place!” He ordered Wenren Zong.

Jiang Mubai yelled, “Wenren boy, why are you still giving your life for him?”

Wenren Zong hesitated for a moment but continued to stand firm in front of Li You unswervingly.

Under the fierce protection of Wenren Zong and his personal guards, Li You managed to escape.

Wenren Zong was captured again and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

It was his second time in prison.

To avoid prolonging the situation, upon the proposal of the Cabinet Ministers, the Crown Prince Li Hongyuan ascended the throne the next day, renaming the country Xinyuan. As the new Emperor, he handled the funeral affairs of the late Emperor and mourned for twenty-seven months.

While managing the funeral affairs and capturing the fugitives, he also did something against the wishes of the late Emperor.

That is, he did not let Concubine Ya and others accompany the late Emperor to his grave. He even established a rule that the Emperor of Great Sheng should never be buried alive with others.

After the funeral, the new Emperor conferred the title of Empress to the Princess Consort, Side Concubine Li Yuanyuan as Concubine Li, Prince Li Wenzan as Crown Prince, providing stability to the ministers and people.

As for the Empress’s coronation ceremony, it had not been held for a long time.

It was not that the Emperor was unwilling, but that the Empress’s health did not allow it.

She had not yet recovered from her severe injury and was still recuperating.

Jiang Ning had lung damage. Her lingering condition caused concern among many people.

The new Emperor just stepped into the Serene Phoenix Palace after a busy day at court when he heard a bout of coughing.

His heart tightened, and he quickened his pace. When he saw Jiang Ning lying on the bed coughing with her face red, he hurriedly helped her up and gently stroked her back.

“Did you take your medicine today?” He asked softly.

“I did,” Jiang Ning sat up, gasping for breath. Her tiny face, thinner than ever, looked pitiful. “It’s much better than a few days ago. Gulin said that my wound isn’t fatal, but it needs slow and long-term care.”

Li Hongyuan slightly nodded, a frown forming as he spoke in a deep voice, “I have always wanted to know, who was it that attacked you with a hidden weapon.”
