“And the poison in your blood…” She sighed, her helpless smile stained with blood .
Feng Yunian stared at her in a daze, that blood magnifying itself in his eyes .
“Impossible, there can’t be any such medicine…”
He had never heard of it .
He suddenly recalled how his body had felt light and healthy upon waking up .
He looked at her pale and haggard face and her body that looked weak and ready to disappear at any moment, like a wisp of smoke .
Bai Weiwei indifferently wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth and continued: “That medicine was taken away by Feng Ling . If I wanted that medicine, then I had to agree to her demand to establish her as empress consort . ”
Feng Yunian stared at her blankly . His body started to shake . “Don’t believe it, I don’t believe it . ”
Bai Weiwei smiled and said: “I’d wanted to hide it from you, but you came back too soon and accidentally stimulated the poison . I could only take the medicine in advance . ”
She fondly stroked his face .
“Fortunately, I saved you . Even if it cost my life, it is worth it . ”
Bai Weiwei’s each and every word was gentle and content .
Feng Yunian saw the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth and finally cried out, “It’s not worth it, I don’t deserve you doing this! Where is the medicine? We’ll exchange again . My cheap life is not worth your exchange . I’m begging you, Your Majesty…”
Bai Weiwei stood up .
The sound of iron hooves beating the ground came from outside the palace . A taut atmosphere emerged from the freezing winds .
Someone shouted: “Treacherous officials are out of control, a man rules over the country . I pledge to purge the ones by the monarch’s side1!”
Bai Weiwei’s face gradually went cold . She indifferently used her fingers to wipe the blood from her mouth .
“They came just in time . If you want the throne, the people I have left cannot be used . They are too stubborn and powerful, and they will be your biggest stumbling block . ”
Feng Yunian was a clever person . He understood her meaning as soon as he heard this .
He gritted his teeth and struggled without regard for himself . His muscles stretched themselves to their limits, his body arched, and his back trembled .
Bai Weiwei turned and walked forward, step by step .
Her lean and straight figure had an unmistakable presence in the howling wind .
Feng Yunian shouted hoarsely: “Bai Weiwei, come back! I’d rather you not love me, don’t love me…”
If she loved him, she would trade her life for him .
He would rather have died by her sword in the beginning .
Bai Weiwei didn’t look back, and her laugh was willful . “Why can’t a man rule a country as emperor? Zhen’s Yuninan can do it . ”
The tears in Feng Yunian’s eyes flowed down . “I cannot . I don’t want to be emperor . I’m begging you, don’t go . ”
【Ding, the male lead’s favorability is 97 . 】
Bai Weiwei’s moves were nimble as she mounted the horse .
She drew her sword, her ink-black hair flying . She looked back at him, the tenderness in her eyes unchanged .
“Yunian, the country for a marriage . This is my last gift to you . ”
Her poisoned body was beyond hope, and before she died, she had cleaned up the loyal officials who followed her .
Gifting a country without resistance to her most beloved person .
It was the last thing she could do for him .
Feng Yunian felt disoriented . He desperately struggled, but the attendants rushed over to hold him down .
He watched her ride off, bringing with her a pack of soldiers . The sounds of fighting filled the air .
Amidst the snow, the long sword in her hand gave off a white light .
The skull of the general who had led the way to “rid the empress of evil ministers” split apart .
Feng Yunian fell to the ground, and the attendants desperately rushed over to stop him . The strip of cloth binding his body had not split . He managed to free a hand and grab a fistful of snow on the ground .
He opened his mouth and howled: “Bai Weiwei, come back! I don’t want the country! I Just want you…”
