Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 625 Liu Shiqing is ill in the cold palace

"correct."

Handan suddenly remembered something, looked at Fuqiu and asked, "You said last year that Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianglin had been married for more than a year and had no children, so they were looking for a doctor."

"After so much time, is there any result?"

The person who was lurking near the Lu family and was responsible for delivering information naturally reported the matter.

Fuqiu shook her head: "It's strange to say, Mrs. Lu has consulted almost all the doctors in the capital, and I don't know how many bitter medicines she has taken, but there is still no good news."

"A doctor said that having children cannot be done by the woman alone. It is a matter for both husband and wife. I would like Lu Jianglin to go and take a look as well."

"Mrs. Lu felt that what the doctor said made sense and mentioned this to Lu Jianglin."

"But who would have known... Lu Jianglin flew into a rage after hearing this, and felt that his dignity as a man had been insulted."

"After Mrs. Lu and Lu Jiangyue found out, they both said that Mrs. Lu was a hen that didn't lay eggs, and she had the nerve to blame the problem on a man. The Lu family was in turmoil again..."

Handan and Xiao Zhouzi listened with great interest.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes.

It was obviously Lu Jianglin who was infertile, but the man was still the same as in his previous life, habitually pushing all the problems onto others and showing no sense of responsibility.

Indeed, a person's nature cannot be changed.

Since Shen Nanqiao was the one who was eager to marry Lu Jianglin, Shen Zhinian chose to respect her fate.

Goddess Fuqiu said mysteriously: "And Zhou..."

"The people who stayed at the Shen family said that her health has been getting worse recently, and she is holding on with only one breath."

"Imperial Doctor Tang also said last time that Zhou has the symptoms of a stroke and cannot withstand any stimulation, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous..."

“I dare not imagine what will happen to Zhou Shi if Lu Jianglin fails to win the first prize and their hopes are dashed again…”

Handan spread her hands: "How can it be like this? At worst, it's just a stroke. She's just paralyzed, not dead. The Shen family has so many servants, can't they serve her?"

Thinking about how Zhou had tortured the empress in the past, Handan hoped that she would suffer the most miserable fate!

Shen Zhinian doesn't need to take action against Zhou's mother and daughter, because if she does, they will kill themselves.

She shook her head, no longer paying attention to those things, and continued to look at the account book in her hand.

……

Time passed slowly, and it was already late February.

Cold palace.

Liu Shiqing has lived a life of luxury for most of his life and has never suffered any hardship. How can he adapt to this kind of hellhole?

In addition, Chu Xiyan deliberately made things difficult for them, so Liu Shiqing and Cuizhu ate rotten meals, drank ice water, and covered themselves with low-quality quilts every day.

Even a body made of iron cannot withstand such torture!

Liu Shiqing fell ill a few days ago. Today, his condition has become more serious and his forehead feels very hot.

Because of this incident, Cuizhu asked the palace maids in the cold palace for help many times, but no one paid any attention to them.

Touching Liu Shiqing's burning cheek, Cuizhu was extremely worried, fearing that her master would die like this...

She didn't care about anything anymore and rushed out!

As soon as Cuizhu left, those crazy women ran into their room, laughing and pulling off the quilt on Liu Shiqing.

"Your Majesty, why do you sleep alone without turning over my name?"

"Your Majesty, would you please let me serve you tonight?"

"All of you get out of here. Your Majesty belongs to me alone, and I should be the one sleeping with him!"

"Your Majesty, I have caught some meat again. I will give it to you!"

"..."

Liu Shiqing was in a daze and couldn't resist at all. He could only let these lunatics torment him.

Cuizhu ran to the courtyard and kept knocking on the door of the cold palace, begging desperately: "The master is really seriously ill. If this continues, she will die!"

"Please open the door and call in a doctor, okay?"

The answer she got was still dead silence...

Chu Xiyan didn't know when she walked behind Cuizhu, with a look of deep sneer in her eyes: "The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are so busy every day, how can they have time to treat a deposed concubine in the cold palace?"

"You'd better save your energy!"

When Cuizhu's gaze fell on Chu Xiyan, a deep hatred burst out from her eyes!

If it weren't for this lowly maid, how could the master end up like this? !

Not only did she send the master and servant to the cold palace, she even tortured the master like this!

Cuizhu gritted her teeth and said, "Even if your parents died because of the master, so what? You have already harmed the master to this point, isn't that enough?!"

Chu Xiyan was really curious. It was clearly them who did the evil thing, so why could they be so righteous as if she was the bad guy?

Hearing Cuizhu's question, Chu Xiyan suddenly felt angry: "Not enough!"

"My parents lost their lives, but Liu Shiqing was only banished to the cold palace and is still alive and well!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood! In my heart, the punishment she received is far from enough!"

Cuizhu wanted to continue to refute, but thinking of Liu Shiqing's current physical condition, she finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and slowly knelt down towards Chu Xiyan.

"Miss Xiyan, consider this as a plea from you! Please forgive me and spare my life!"

"Even if the imperial physician would not set foot in a place like the cold palace, it would be fine to ask the pharmacist to get a dose of fever-reducing medicine for the master."

"If the fire continues like this, the master will really die..."

"If you really feel unsatisfied, I am willing to give you my life in exchange! Please! Please!"

Cuizhu said this while kowtowed to Chu Xiyan.

Chu Xiyan took two steps back, still with a cold face, and a complicated look in her eyes...

Her only enemy from beginning to end was Liu Shiqing, and there was no deep hatred between her and Cuizhu.

Moreover, during the time she was in Yongshou Palace, Cuizhu trained her as her successor and took great care of her.

Chu Xiyan turned away and said, "As long as you are willing to leave Liu Shiqing, you won't have to suffer with her in the future. You can live a normal life as a palace maid in the cold palace."

"Do not."

Cuizhu shook her head and said, "Although I was implicated and lost the opportunity to leave the palace, my master has been so kind to me, I will never betray her."

"I will never leave her when she needs me the most."

Seeing that Chu Xiyan's attitude had softened, Cuizhu continued to kowtow and said, "Xiyan, to be honest, during the time you were in Yongshou Palace, I really treated you as my own sister and never did anything to let you down."

"If you still remember this friendship, please ask the imperial physician to save her life. Okay?"

Chu Xiyan's face was tense: "I can repay the favor I owe you with other things. But it is impossible for me to save the murderer of my mother!"
