On the eighth day of July in the thirteenth year of Zunye's reign, there was a heavy rain.

Suddenly, a heartbreaking "no" came from the Wan'an Palace, which had been closed for a long time.

The scream seemed to be oozing with blood and full of disbelief.

The next moment, the door of Wan'an Palace was banged open, and a woman with disheveled hair ran out from the door barefoot.

"No, no! I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"

Lin Qingluan cried hard, her tears mixed with the rain, and all she tasted in her mouth was bitterness.

"Impossible, I don't believe it! He wouldn't make such a decree! He promised me, he promised me -"

With a "plop", Lin Qingluan fell to the ground.

She tried hard to raise her head, but looking at the vast rain curtain in front of her and the unfamiliar Miyagi, she felt confused and flustered: "Shangguan Lie, Shangguan Lie..."

How could he do this to her?!

It was he who asked the late emperor for a marriage regardless of her marriage contract with the Yu family!

He was the one who promised to protect the Lin family after taking the throne!

He is the one who promises her for the rest of her life!

He was the one who promised to make the son she gave birth to the crown prince!

But now, he is the one who ransacked the Lin family and executed them!

It was he who gave her the gift of suicide!

He was the one who took the infertility medicine and had no intention of letting her have a child from the beginning to the end!

Could it be that her life was a scam?!

She doesn't believe it, she doesn't want to believe it...

Obviously he is also looking forward to their child, he said it, he said it!

Lin Qingluan sobbed in pain. She forced herself to get up and continued running towards the Daming Palace.

Huge raindrops hit her body, but Lin Qingluan couldn't feel it at all.

She didn't know how long she had been running, and there were people chasing her behind her.

But she didn't care, she must see Shangguan Lie, she must ask him personally!

After a long time, Lin Qingluan finally vaguely saw the outline of the Daming Palace. She was so happy that she just ran a step there.

But the next moment, something hit her lower back violently, and she jumped forward uncontrollably.

The hard gravel road scratched Lin Qingluan's face and forearm. She cried out in pain, but could not get up again.

A pair of embroidered shoes decorated with pearls stopped in front of Lin Qingluan.

She looked up tremblingly, but could not see the woman's face clearly. She could only hear the soft voice saying: "What do you care about, father-in-law? Don't disturb the emperor's purity by making such a noise."

"Your Majesty, I want to see the Emperor..." Lin Qingluan crawled forward, but heard a familiar high-pitched voice angrily said: "Why are you still standing there, are you really waiting for the Emperor to hear it? Call us!"

hit what?

Lin Qingluan was still at a loss. She even took another step forward, but the next moment, the sound of a heavy object being hit sounded behind her, and a burning pain spread from her back to her whole body. She curled up subconsciously in pain.

.

Soon, sticks fell on her like raindrops one after another. Lin Qingluan opened her mouth convulsively and wanted to scream in pain, but she could no longer make a sound.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

She shrank into a ball in pain, but still wanted to go to Shangguan Lie.

He won't ignore her, won't let others bully her like this, no, no...

"Don't worry, Concubine Lu, I will clean up my servants later and won't stain the emperor's eyes."

"Hmph, didn't the emperor give her permission to commit suicide? Why did he let her run out?"

"This slave is useless, thanks to Concubine Lu for reminding me."

"Forget it, she is the former imperial concubine after all."

After saying that, the woman felt disgusted and pinched Lin Qingluan's face covered with blood and rain through the Shu brocade handkerchief, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Lin Qingluan, did you think that this day would happen to you too?"

"Your Majesty..." Lin Qingluan shouted unconsciously while smelling the familiar scent of ambergris on the woman.

"Ha, the emperor will not see you. He told me that he is annoying you to death!

"Every time he sees you, he feels disgusted. Do you still think you are so favored?" The woman became more and more amused, "Hahaha, Lin Qingluan, Lin Qingluan, you want to scratch my face without even looking at it.

Who do you think you are!"

After speaking, the woman slapped Lin Qingluan twice across the face.

Lin Qingluan screamed and regained consciousness, but she could only hear a merciless "beat her to death", and the stick continued to fall, but she seemed to feel nothing.

She remembered that it was Lu Meiren.

She was favored in the first place because Shangguan Lie said that his facial features were somewhat similar to hers.

Hahahahahaha……

Lin Qingluan laughed silently. She looked at the sky, the rain, and everything in the Forbidden City.

She is such a fool...

——

"Master? Master!" An Lan cried with tears on his face, watching Lin Qingluan open his eyes, "Master, you finally woke up!"

"An Lan, I had a nightmare..." Lin Qingluan murmured, and then laughed again, "How is that possible..."

"Luan'er, don't be afraid, you just fell into the water." Shangguan Lie sat beside the bed with gentle eyebrows and half-hugged her body, "Here, I'll give you some medicine."

"Your Majesty..." Lin Qingluan looked at Shangguan Lie, the darkness in his eyes gradually brightened again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

She threw herself into Shangguan Lie's arms, hugged his waist tightly and sobbed.

She knew it!

That was all a dream, it was fake!

What kind of imprisonment for three years, what kind of death decree? How could Shangguan Lie do that to her?!

"Okay, okay." Shangguan Lie helplessly patted Lin Qingluan's head and said, "Drink the medicine first."

Lin Qingluan's eyes were red, and she looked at Shangguan Lie reluctantly, letting him gently feed her the medicinal soup spoon by spoon.

The medicine that I thought was bitter before has become a bit sweeter.

What happened in the dream was too real and terrifying!

Lin Qingluan didn't want to leave Shangguan Lie for a moment. After drinking the medicine, she still stared at him and hugged him, fearing that he would suddenly disappear.

"What's wrong?" Shangguan Lie pinched her cheek in a funny way, "So delicate, huh?"

After a pause, he asked casually: "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Your Majesty is here, I feel comfortable everywhere." After Lin Qingluan said with a smile, she suddenly frowned.

She covered her belly with some confusion and looked at him confusedly: "Concubine..."

"Concubine?"

A smile flashed across Shangguan Lie's lips. Lin Qingluan kept staring at him closely and naturally did not miss this expression.

She slowly opened her eyes in disbelief.

Time seemed to be slowed down, and all the exclamations and hustle and bustle in front of me seemed to be just the background.

Lin Qingluan was sitting on the bed, blood dripping from the hem of her skirt and staining the entire mattress red.

But she didn't seem to be aware of it and just stared at Shangguan Lie who stood up and walked two steps away.

The cramping pain in her belly was nothing. She looked at Shangguan Lie, at his false surprise on the surface, at his exaggerated sadness and sorrow, at his...satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

and rest assured.

It turns out those are all true!

Lin Qingluan looked at Shangguan Lie blankly, but her thoughts were clearer than ever before.

She had a miscarriage, not because she was pushed into the water, or because she was careless, but because of... the bowl of medicine Shangguan Lie fed her just now.

He knew how much she longed for a child.

But miscarriage, Jue's son, and a bowl of potion without mercy brought her back to her previous nightmare...

Therefore, God couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a chance to do it again...

Lin Qingluan laughed out loud, but unfortunately she still lost her only child.

Shangguan Lie...
