Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 590 Dream Collapse

Lan Qingwu stared blankly at the Shenwu Emperor: "Brother Heng, you...what did you say?"

Emperor Shenwu had calmed down considerably. Once he had spoken out, he felt it was much easier. He slowly said, "My true identity is the Seventh Prince of the Dasheng Dynasty. I'm so humble, are you willing to accept it?"

Many years ago, I should have told her honestly, let her accept it, let her make the decision, let her... give me a chance, but now it is too late!

Lan Qingwu's eyes were filled with mist, and she asked in disbelief: "Seventh Prince? You are the Seventh Prince of the current dynasty? You are not Yun Heng? You are Zhou Xuheng!"

The peach blossom petals fell silently, covering the clothes and bodies of the two people, which was so similar to the scene of their decisive separation that year.

The Divine Martial Emperor grasped Lan Qingwu's shoulders and spoke word by word with difficulty, "Yes! Lan Qingwu, I'm sorry for telling you only now! I have one more thing to tell you. I also want to tell you that if time could go back to the year we separated, I would make a new choice, and I would let you make a new choice too!"

"Now, Lan Qingwu, wake up!"

Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but open his arms and hug Lan Qingwu, "Wake up! Weak!"

Lan Qingwu's tears slid down her cheeks, and in her eyes, the surrounding scenery had all changed.

The beautiful dream ended, the illusion collapsed, and everything fell apart, like the illusory flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. The scenery faded its original color, and everything changed in Lan Qingwu's eyes. It turned out that this was not the border, it turned out that this was not their paradise, it turned out... Yun Heng was not Yun Heng!

Lan Qingwu remembered that this was the imperial city, this was the peach blossom forest in the palace, and the person in front of him was not Yun Heng, he was... Zhou Xuheng! He was the emperor!

She hadn't waited until the young man Yun Heng came home to propose marriage. He had regained his status as the Seventh Prince, had made great military achievements, and returned to the imperial city. Soon, he was made Crown Prince! He married a Crown Princess, and had concubines and concubines. A Crown Prince had no shortage of them... He married, had concubines, and had children, while she had to worry about her status as the Crown Prince, living in fear and making careful plans every day...

In the end, Lan Qingwu couldn't resist her fate of entering the palace as a concubine! Their fates were forever intertwined. She experienced danger, sweetness, and helplessness in the palace... but ultimately, they finally walked hand in hand to this day! The marriage proposal, the marriage, the couple in their dreams, all of that never happened! In reality, too many people and too many things always existed between them!

Emperor Shenwu, as the leader of the "Worry-Free Dream", awakened Lan Qingwu who was in it. Lan Qingwu was heartbroken in an instant, and his tears and despair pierced Emperor Shenwu's heart!

Lan Qingwu burst into tears. She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you treat me like this? Why did you let me fall into this dream? And now you want me to wake up? Why are you so cruel to me?"

"Do you want me to go through the separation we made so decisively back then again?"

"No, no!"

Emperor Shenwu didn't dare to let go, nor did he dare to use too much force. "At first, I was afraid you would hurt yourself. Later, I was afraid you would leave me. I was even more afraid of losing you! I must keep you by my side no matter what! I have never been a good person. I can't bear to lose you!"

"Weak, although I, Zhou Xuheng, am an emperor, I cannot turn back the flow of time! If God has mercy and returns to the day we parted, I would like to tell you another answer!"

Emperor Shenwu released his hand and gently cupped Lan Qingwu's cheek: "Ruo Ruo, I want to tell you, if I could go back to those days, I might still not be able to let go of my responsibilities. I would still return to the imperial city to become the crown prince of Dasheng, but I would inform my father and let you be my only woman! Maybe when you come to my side at first, your position will not be very high, it will be very hard, and it will be very dangerous! It will be dozens of times more dangerous than it is now. You will constantly encounter conspiracies and intrigues, open and hidden attacks, and it will be many times more dangerous. The former court and the harem will all turn their eyes to you! The only thing I can give you is just one and only!"

"Even so, are you willing to come to my side? Will you choose me? Will you - give up on me? Zhou Xuheng today wants to ask Lan Qingwu back then, if I had made this decision back then, Lan Qingwu, would you be willing to give me a chance?"

Would you still turn around and leave? Would you still give up Zhou Xuheng, the Seventh Prince?

Lan Qingwu looked at Emperor Shenwu with tears in her eyes. It seemed as if twenty years had passed between them. If Lan Qingwu had heard the decision of the seventh prince Zhou Xuheng, what would she have chosen?

Lan Qingwu didn't know the answer, and didn't know how to respond. If she knew she would encounter so many things after entering the palace, would she have agreed to Zhou Xuming, who was already the seventh prince, without hesitation?

Emperor Shenwu suddenly became frightened. He sensed Lan Qingwu's hesitation and uneasiness. He hugged Lan Qingwu tightly and said, "No! Don't tell me now! Don't tell me the answer! Weak!"

Lan Qingwu felt the warmth of the Shenwu Emperor's embrace and whispered, "It's too late! Zhou Xuheng, it's too late, too late!"

Lan Qingwu, who had always wanted to be with Yun Heng for the rest of her life, had already given up hope and lost her heart. Now, Lan Qingwu was also exhausted by the conspiracies and schemes of the former dynasty and the harem, not to mention that her current situation was so dangerous!

Emperor Shenwu said with difficulty: "Yes! I understood it too late! Back then, I didn't know what you really wanted! Now, what you really want, I can no longer give you!"

"Zhou Xuheng!"

Lan Qingwu said softly: "If possible, please let me go!"

Emperor Shenwu was trembling all over. He hugged Lan Qingwu tightly, but could no longer make any sound.

The interweaving of dreams and reality had already made Lan Qingwu completely exhausted. The next moment, she fell silently into the arms of Emperor Shenwu.

"Weak weak!"

Emperor Shenwu was panicked. He picked up Lan Qingwu and carried him back to Qianzheng Hall.

Lan Qingwu woke up again and found herself back in the bedroom of Qianzheng Palace. She was too familiar with this place. She looked around and found that Emperor Shenwu was holding her hand tightly.

The change of environment made her feel uneasy for a moment. She thought of the dark look in Emperor Shenwu's eyes as he pressed her down in that secret room, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Nie Wushuang and Ruping had been flipping through medical books lately, making them dizzy. Nie Wushuang, in particular, felt a bit unsteady on his feet. Ruping tossed a finished medical book aside and said, "Is that all? Are there any more? Doctor Nie, these are either about poisons or medicines. Aren't there any other types of medical books?"

Nie Wushuang was stunned and looked straight at Ruping: "Other types of medical books?"

He suddenly stood up straight as if his Ren and Du meridians had opened up: "Yes! I'm obsessed! Ruping, wait!"

Nie Wushuang was in a hurry to open the door and go out, but he bumped into a young eunuch who was holding a pile of books at the door.

"Ouch!"

The young eunuch screamed, and the pile of books in his hands fell to the ground in pieces. Nie Wushuang said quickly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Are you okay? You..."

Nie Wushuang's gaze suddenly froze. He stared straight at a thin, worn medical book that had fallen to the ground. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "Miss Ruping! You are truly my lucky star!"

On the ground, Nie Wushuang held the thin, tattered medical book carefully in his hands like a treasure. Four big words were written on it: "The Strange Gu of Miaojiang"!

"'Miaojiang Strange Gu'! I found you!"

In the Third Prince's residence, he was holding a hairpin used as a woman's ornament. He examined it for a long moment before handing it to the attendant beside him. "Go! Find some time today to burn it for Concubine Qiao! My father has been suspicious of me lately, and the situation at court has returned to its original state. It seems this prince will have to continue to endure this!"

The attendant respectfully reached out and took the hairpin. "There's nothing we can do about it, Your Highness. Look, even a shrewd and calculating person like the Grand Master wouldn't dare to say a word when his disciples were purged and his daughter's body was returned to her family."

The Third Prince sneered, "Hmph! Just wait! This old fox won't give up! My royal father won't let him go! Speaking of which, the Japanese princes have only just realized that the Empress is definitely not at the Hot Springs Manor! My royal father used this false information to expose Shi Qingluan's true colors, and she was caught by my royal father! What I didn't expect was that my royal father actually has such deep feelings for the Empress that he actually keeps her by his side! I'm truly impressed!"

"Qiao Shiqi has gone! Let her go peacefully! The shallow and ignorant Qiao'er has done what she should do for this prince! This prince has also doted on her for such a long time, and she also caused the death of my offspring. This prince has done her justice! By the way, how is her sister who works in the Lan Mansion? Has it been resolved?"

The attendant shook his head and said cautiously, "Your Highness, not to mention that servant, even Concubine Qiao has been kept in the dark by you. Is it necessary to attack her again? I went to inquire about the whereabouts of that servant these days and found that she has already left the Lan Mansion!"

The Third Prince said gloomily, "I'm not afraid of a thousand, I'm afraid of one! That insect was nurtured for years by a petal of the Nine-Zhi Flower that I found, before it became a Gu! And then it was accidentally given to that servant by Qiao's concubine and brought to the Lan Mansion. It took so long! I have waited so long for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I still can't overthrow the Queen, I will be sick to death!"

The attendant said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, don't worry so much. The Empress has already been poisoned. Regardless of whether His Majesty has punished her, she will not live long. The poisonous insect is extremely venomous! If it weren't for your filial piety and your determination to find the Nine-Zhi Flower for Concubine Yang, we wouldn't have this opportunity to eliminate the Empress!"
