The Princess Chang was sent out of the palace, crying until she fainted.
When she woke up, Li Huaiyan was standing beside her, her eyes filled with joy, thinking that Li Huaiyan had changed his mind.
"Brother Emperor, do you still care for Siyao?" she said softly.
"You are pregnant, the imperial physician said it has been over a month." Li Huaiyan said coldly.
Princess Chang was stunned. She had wanted to get pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly disposed of the contraceptive potion after being with Li Huaiyan.
But according to the timing, this child was not Li Huaiyan's.
I walked in with a maid: "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."
Li Huaiyan glanced at her and walked out.
Princess Chang rolled off the bed: "Brother Emperor."
But she ultimately did not catch hold of Li Huaiyan's robe.
"Princess Chang, drink the medicine." I helped her up.
She pushed me away: "Is it you who harmed me? From the beginning, you made me use blood letters to stir up Brother Emperor's feelings for me, just to see me like this today? Empress, what grievances do I have with you, to put me in this situation."
"Princess Chang, you are mistaken. I have no grievances with you. Everything is the Emperor's decision. I even had the medicine sweetened a bit, fearing it would be too bitter for you. The Emperor said, after you drink it, you will be sent to the Southern Garden Monastery."
"I won't drink it." Princess Chang threw a tantrum, hoping Li Huaiyan would come back to look at her again.
I looked at the falling petals outside the door and sighed softly: "It should all end now."
Princess Chang was forced to take the medicine, writhing in pain on the ground, sweating profusely on her forehead.
But no one paid attention to her.
Because of urgent reports from the border, the Northern Di Kingdom had launched a war.
Li Huaiyan coughed up blood in anger again.
For some reason, this time the Northern Di Kingdom came aggressively, with abundant supplies of food and weapons, swiftly capturing several cities in our country.
The officials of the former dynasty were in panic, unable to come up with a good solution.
Some suggested peace talks, but the Northern Di people were fierce, and with their current advantage, no one in the court dared to go.
Li Huaiyan's health deteriorated further, drinking bowl after bowl of tonics from the imperial physician, but to no avail, it even worsened.
I sat by his bedside, feeding him personally: "Your Majesty, let me go. Although I have no talent, my status is enough to show sincerity to the Northern Di Kingdom."
After coughing a few times, he sighed, "Empress, I have let you down. Those courtiers of mine are all useless, not as good as you, a mere woman."
I fed him the last spoonful of medicine in the bowl, saying firmly, "I am not let down."
Li Huaiyan's body was already at its last gasp, with no hope of recovery.
The Tian Sheng Kingdom was destined to be destroyed.
