I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 253: A Lifelong Mistake
Xiao Anzi, who was forgotten by his master, scratched his head and trotted after him.

When the group rushed to Youlan Residence, Shufei and Chun Zhaoyi had already arrived, as well as Shao Liyi, Yu Guipin and Xie Jieyushi. Even the empress dowager received the news and sent Nanny Zhao to check out the situation.

Empress Zhong arrived late because she was pregnant, and was stopped by Nanny Zhao just as she reached the door of Youlan Residence.

It was said that it was the Empress Dowager's order, that she was worried that the evil spirit in Youlan Residence would disturb the dragon fetus in the Empress' belly, so Shufei and Chun Zhaoyi would be the only ones to take care of it here, and the Empress was asked to return to Changchun Palace and wait for news.

Empress Zhong naturally listened to the advice, gave a few words of instruction to Concubine Shu and Concubine Chun, and then went back in the sedan chair.

On the way, they happened to encounter the emperor's sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, may you be well." Queen Zhong stepped out of the sedan chair and saluted.

Xiao Jingfan sat on the imperial sedan chair, frowned and asked, "Are you from Youlan Residence?"

"Yes." Empress Zhong nodded. "My mother was worried about the dragon fetus in my belly, so she asked me to return to the palace to wait for news. When I left, Doctor Wu was giving acupuncture to Concubine Gao."

"Yes." Xiao Jingfan nodded and looked at the eunuchs who were carrying Queen Zhong's sedan chair. "The roads are slippery in the snow, so be careful."

"The slave obeys."

"Let's go." Xiao Jingfan ordered Zhou Yuande.

Zhou Yuande shouted: "Get going!"

"Your Majesty, your concubine respectfully sees you off." Queen Zhong watched the imperial sedan chair go away.

"Your Majesty, the snow is getting heavier, let's get into the sedan chair." Qiu Sui came over to support her.

Empress Zhong retracted her gaze and asked, "Was the maid standing next to Zhou Yuande just now Chu Liuzheng?"

Qiu Sui nodded: "It's her."

Queen Zhong said nothing more and was helped into the sedan chair.

Gao Yongfu waited until she was seated firmly before saying, "Lift the sedan chair!"

On the other side, the imperial sedan chair arrived at Youlan Residence. After some greetings and formalities, everyone took their seats.

Chu Liuzheng stood next to Zhou Yuande and glanced around.

[Wow, all the most popular ladies in the harem are here! ]

[The naive princess is getting prettier and prettier. She looks so rich in all the gold and jade. Fortunately, her face and temperament can hold up to her appearance, otherwise she would have been a nouveau riche. Who put together this outfit for her? A beauty doesn't need so many embellishments, right?]

[Uh, is it my illusion? Is the Hercules Princess's face rounder than the last time I saw her? ]

When Xiao Jingfan heard this, he glanced at Concubine Yu's face.

It seems... a little rounder.

Aidal was keenly aware of the emperor's gaze. She retracted her neck and pressed her chin down, revealing two perfect double chins, and threw a bold wink at the emperor.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

[Pfft——Hahahaha goose! ]

Chu Liuzheng also saw this scene and laughed out loud in his heart.

[Concubine Yu tried her best to avoid being favored. I now understand why her appetite was so good after entering the palace. She had three meals a day, two desserts, and a midnight snack, and she deliberately didn't move. Who wouldn't get fat? It seems that the weight she gained was for use here. ]

[Tsk tsk, the tyrant probably won't want to go to Ninghe Hall anytime soon. ]

Listening to the unbridled laughter beside his ears, Xiao Jingfan secretly glared at the nosy Zhou Yuande.

This woman will just gloat over other people's misfortunes. Why did you bring her along?
Eunuch Zhou opened his eyes, looking a little dazed.

What did he do wrong again? Why are you glaring at him again?

Didn’t he remember to bring Chu Liuzheng along?

"Ahem." Xiao Jingfan cleared his throat and looked at Doctor Li who was carrying a medicine box. "Why did Concubine Gao have a miscarriage?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Gao has been worried for days, and she is restless and has a miscarriage." Doctor Li said, "Concubine Gao showed signs of miscarriage a few days ago. I came here every day to check her pulse and prescribed miscarriage-maintaining medicine. It was initially effective, but today Concubine Gao was frightened for some reason, and it was too late when I arrived."

He knelt down and said: "I failed to take good care of the baby, so the dragon fetus was not saved. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingfan had a cold face and was about to speak when Wu Yuanshi suddenly came out from behind the screen and knelt on the ground: "I am incompetent."

Xiao Jingfan's heart sank, and the others were startled. Concubine Shu asked anxiously, "What happened to Concubine Gao?"

"Princess Gao had a miscarriage and the bleeding continued. I tried my best to use acupuncture but it was useless." Envoy Wu lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Only one stick of incense is left at most."

He kowtowed and said, "I am useless, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips and clenched the bodhi beads on his wrist. "Your Majesty." Concubine Chun looked at him, "Sister Gaopin must have something to say to you, please go in and take a look."

Xiao Jingfan raised his eyes and looked towards the screen, his eyes were dark and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

【well! 】

Chu Liuzheng didn't expect that Concubine Gao would really die because of a miscarriage, and he couldn't help but sigh.

She tilted her head to look at the emperor.

[After all, they were husband and wife, and now that they are about to die, the tyrant should go in and see Concubine Gao for the last time, right? ]

The emperor's silence and the invisible countdown to his death made the atmosphere in the palace extremely solemn. Some palace maids who were serving Concubine Gao had already begun to sob softly, with sporadic whimpers coming out.

"Your Majesty." Chun Zhaoyi called again.

Xiao Jingfan let go of the Bodhi beads, retracted his gaze, and left without saying a word.

The cold wind lifted the black hem of his clothes, making him look even colder and more lonely.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Chun couldn't help but call out again. She didn't know why she was calling out.

Xiao Jingfan didn't look back.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuande didn't care about the situation in the room and hurriedly followed.

Chu Liuzheng naturally followed suit. Because the emperor was tall and had long legs, he could walk fast, so in order to avoid being left too far behind, he had to jog all the way.

Everyone watched helplessly as the dark figure disappeared from their sight, leaving only flying snow in the sky.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and looked at her clenched hands, a soft sigh escaped from her lips.

Your Majesty is still the same as before, once something bad happens, it's bad, leaving no room for maneuver.

"I'll go in and take a look." She walked towards the inner room. Chun Zhaoyi pursed her lips and followed her in.

Xie Jieyu thought about it and followed him in.

Wei Ming Yu Jin's handkerchief was wet with tears, and her makeup was also smudged.

"You don't know each other, why are you crying like this?" Aidar folded his arms and looked at her.

"I, I..." Wei Ming Yu Jin couldn't help sobbing, "I can't help it."

Although she doesn't know him, she is afraid of dead people.

"Tsk, you really are..." Aidal didn't know how to describe it, so he simply pulled her away to prevent Wei Ming Yujin from crying to death here.

"I, I can walk by myself."

"Stop talking nonsense and wash your face first."

Luzhu and Mianmian quickly followed their master, ignoring the mournful cries that filled the room.

In the inner room, Concubine Gao was lying on the bed, her face as pale as gold paper and her breath barely surviving.

She was waiting for the emperor to come in, and she thought she should say something to the man.

Say what?

The short life flashed before her eyes, carefree, innocent, happy, brilliant, sad, painful, tossing and turning, dead...it seemed that there was nothing much to say.

Then take another look.

Gao Bin's eyelids blinked slowly, and the figure beside the bed became clear from blurry.

There is no such man.

She asked weakly and laboriously, "Where is His Majesty?"

"Just say whatever you want to say." Concubine Shu held her cold hands, her eyes red, and her voice soft.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Xie were already wiping away their tears.

Gaopin rolled her eyes and looked at the three people one by one. The dark figure flashed before her eyes vaguely. Her eyelids closed little by little, and her breathing gradually stopped.

The girl blushed and felt confused at the stunning sight at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

One glance can ruin your life. One glance can ruin your life.

In the end, I lost the bet.
