Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 404: Vomiting Blood Again!

Pang Shuangyue was extremely pleased, even boastful!

She knew Long Yue loved Li Qingmu deeply, so she kept saying that Li Qingmu died miserably, died restlessly, just to make Long Yue feel bad! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Long Yue was indeed distressed, at least on the surface she had to be!

She looked coldly at Pang Shuangyue: "Sister seems very happy?"

She didn’t answer Pang Shuangyue’s question but directly asked her instead.

Because she knew that no matter how she answered, the other party would be satisfied physically and mentally. She really wanted to see her in absolute grief!

But Long Yue absolutely couldn’t let her see her miserable appearance!

Pang Shuangyue was stunned, probably not expecting her to ask this. After a brief surprise, she said: "Where is sister speaking from? The deceased was brother-in-law. I’m so sad, haven’t slept for days?"

It wasn’t out of sadness; it was because she was too happy to sleep!

Long Yue looked at her coldly, then suddenly shouted: "Someone! Quickly come! Throw this despicable person out and beat her out! Beat her out with sticks!"

In an instant, Pang Shuangyue was dumbfounded!

Here in the General Mansion, there were over a hundred confidants of Cao Yin loyal enough to protect Long Yue and Cao Xiao, so as soon as Long Yue finished speaking, a dozen soldiers, knives and sticks in hand, approached menacingly.

"You... you... outrageous! Stop, don’t come closer, don’t! Ah—ah!"

These soldiers were indeed bold and not afraid to die; they really swung sticks at Pang Shuangyue, scaring her to tears as she ran out crying.

Long Yue watched expressionlessly as Pang Shuangyue’s embarrassed silhouette fled, then staggered slightly.

"Madam, are you alright?"

Ning Xiang hurried to support her, since Long Yue was pregnant, less than three months in, and if she fell, the consequences could be dire.

When she came, Yang Zhuoya had specially instructed her to take good care of Long Yue, because the child in Long Yue’s belly was the only heir of Imperial Censor Li, and it was the only hope supporting Long Yue to live right now.

If anything happened to this child, she might truly lose the will to live.

Yang Zhuoya didn’t have many friends, but for those she really connected with, she cared very much.

Long Yue shook her head gently: "I’m fine, I’m fine... help me go in and rest!"

"Alright!"

Long Yue returned to her room and drove everyone out again.

Subsequently, Qingming appeared beside her.

"How’s it going?"

"To Madam, the Great General Cao Yin and General Gao Li have been at war for three days and nights already, with countless casualties on both sides.

The town is in chaos, many people are fleeing towards Shengjing City, lots of refugees, the court wanted to close the city gates, but too many people gathered below, they’re using wood and stones to smash the gates, and the soldiers on the city walls can’t slaughter civilians, so they had to let them in.

On Prince Lingjiang’s side, they’re about to reach Shengjing City, and more voices are pleading for Imperial Censor Li. They keep chanting clear the court of traitors, just a few gates away before they reach Shengjing City!"

Qingming spoke and glanced at Long Yue, seeing she had no reaction, thought maybe mentioning Imperial Censor Li saddened her, but didn’t dwell on it, continued: "On that side of Daliang, they’ve already broken through three passes!"

At this moment, Long Yue finally reacted, she nodded slowly and said: "I know, you may go now!"

Qingming left, and Long Yue came to stand in front of the map again.

Indeed, as the court became turbulent, under the pull of various battle fires, those behind-the-scenes people finally started to move, no, they have already moved!

On February 19th, Cao Yin led the army to capture Shaoyan City, apprehended General Gao Li, and advanced towards Lanhua City, engaging fiercely with twenty thousand Imperial Guard, the battlefield deadlocked.

On February 21st, Prince Lingjiang’s Heir led troops into Baihua City, intercepted by General Ge Feng in the city, leading to a grueling battle between the two sides.

On February 28th, Daliang Country broke through Sishui Pass, with a hundred thousand troops advancing, seemingly about to seize the grand dragon!

...

In the Imperial Palace, Qi Yun was still lying on the sickbed, these days his illness hadn’t improved, but worsened instead.

New battle reports came every day, but they were all bad news, Qi Yun was furious, punishing many in the palace, causing widespread fear and panic.

And today, Qi Yun was angry again, smashing things around in his sleeping quarters, many treasured items destroyed.

"Useless, you are all useless, what do you people eat for, huh? Mere rice buckets? Gao Li, that useless man, with city gates as a backup, couldn’t stop the old thief Cao Yin’s thirty thousand troops? Inept, horribly inept!"

After speaking, Qi Yun couldn’t help but get out of bed and smash more things, scaring Chen Zhong into rushing forward: "Please, Your Majesty, protect your body!"

"Hmm, protect? I have almost been angered to death by those useless people! Also, who is spreading rumors? Who is pleading injustice for that wretch Li Qingmu? Who, who? Arrest them, go, go arrest them, kill them, kill them!!!"

Of course killing could not really kill, law does not punish the masses, otherwise, he’d be a tyrant.

But Qi Yun could roar, he could vent his dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, please protect yourself!"

Chen Zhong saw Qi Yun panting heavily, his face flushed and bowed in panic.

Qi Yun chuckled coldly: "All useless, you, you too... cough, cough, cough..."

Suddenly, as Qi Yun spoke, "pff," he coughed up blood once again!

"Not good, Your Majesty, someone, quickly, someone!"

This time Qi Yun coughed up blood severely, falling into a coma, speech slurred, Empress Qiao led harem concubines, the Crown Prince with numerous princes and grandsons, all came to Qi Yun’s sleeping hall to visit.

Qian Yi was extremely anxious inside, he had already gained a good degree of favor from the Emperor these days, yet Qi Yun still had no thoughts of changing the crown prince.

If he were healthy, it wouldn’t be urgent, but as he was now, he was nearly frantic.

"Creak," the palace gates opened, Shen Chong and several Imperial Physicians came out, everyone immediately gathered around.

"The Emperor’s illness flared up urgently this time, even causing damage to the heart and lungs, he fears... fears..." Shen Chong said with difficulty, people around were anxious, urging him to speak quickly, Shen Chong sighed, said: "If His Majesty does not control his emotions well, we fear... it will be beyond our ability to help."

The words were already very implicit, instantly, several princes’ faces turned ugly.

Only the Crown Prince appeared deeply pained, but actually, internally, he was overjoyed, once the Emperor departs, he’d be the rightful ruler, haha!

Empress Qiao watched the crowd calmly, neither happy nor sad.

She wasn’t seeking to vie for power and profit, it’s just that her power and status were already supreme, whoever inherits the throne in the future, she would be the rightful Empress Dowager! Enjoying all the glory and wealth of the Empress Dowager!

"I want to see father!"

Qian Yi was nervous, shouting at Shen Chong.

Shen Chong frowned: "Your Highness, His Majesty needs quiet rest now, no one can see!"

"But..."

Qian Yi wanted to argue, when suddenly, Pang Wenzheng said: "His Highness has a heart of filial piety, we ministers admire it, but His Majesty needs quiet rest, it’s not too late for His Highness to wait one or two days!"

Qian Yi looked at Pang Wenzheng.

This man, was his lifesaver!

Since his lifesaver spoke, Qian Yi nodded and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Chief of Staff Pang, for the reminder!"
