809: The Queen's Sickness

The Queen's Sickness

"It is not like what I said before, some cold or mental issue. The Queen is dying! When I visited the town, the Queen was very pale-looking and extremely skinny. When I passed on the message, the Queen was half conscious. I am not sure if the Queen has heard what you asked me to say. The doctors all shook their heads when they spoke of the Queen," De Fu said with tears.0

He was really worried that the Queen would not make it.

He could tell that the King cared about the Queen, except that he was not aware of this feeling. The King could just meet the Queen at the moment, and he was worried that any more delay, the King might not even have the chance to speak with the Queen any more.

The Empress Dowager was not concerned whether the King was distracted from the court, but he grew up with the King and he knew pretty well that the King not only cared about the empire, but also had some affection for the Queen. The King would be really sad if the Queen passed away.

When the King heard what De Fu said, he subconsciously did not want to believe that any of it was real. He was still a bit baffled, and wondered if he had misheard anything just now.

"De Fu, is any of this real?" The King looked unprecedentedly peaceful as if he had heard nothing.

De Fu felt really concerned about him, but he could do nothing but nod.

In the end, he said, "King, you should probably visit the Queen, after all…"

It would be the last goodbye.

De Fu did not dare to say those words, though that was what he was thinking inside.

It took the King a while before he realized what happened.

He just realized that Jiang Shuang was dying and she could not possibly be cured.

The King swept away everything on the table, and the plates were all smashed on the ground in a mess. However, the maids did not dare to clean them up, and each of them kept their heads lowered. They had not expected that such a huge incident would happen during the dinner time.

The King got so angry that he smashed everything in the room, but he still could not vent any anger.

He gave De Fu a kick. "You damn servant, what are you waiting for, get ready. I am going to the town!"

Hearing the order, De Fu nodded and wiped his tears, then he went away to make preparations.

The King was not in the mood to eat anything. He became so anxious that he was panicking in the room.

Jiang Shuang was dying?

He just could not accept this piece of unexpected news. He had vivid pictures of what happened before, and as far as he remembered, Jiang Shuang had fallen ill as winter came.

He thought that it was just a small cold which Jiang Shuang caught. Anyway a noble, healthy woman like her would often need more time to heal even from a small cold. That was why he did not attach much importance to it.

Since when did the illness become serious?

It seemed that the illness happened after Jiang Shuang came to beg him in the court after he decided upon Xunyang's marriage.

He was worried that he would soften his heart and change his mind since an arrogant woman like Jiang Shuang was begging him, so he turned her down. He did not want to see her.

At that time, Honored Princess Jing appeared and told Jiang Shuang the truth, and Jiang Shuang interrogated him. After which she became ill.
