Chapter 143: All in Vain

Then he raised his eyes in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, it's really strange. Concubine Xian seems to have had a sudden rally. She has regained her breath and pulse."

"Does that mean Qingwen has come back to life?" There was a glimmer of hope in Hua Yueye's eyes. He stared intently at Imperial Physician Zhang and asked.

"Well..." Imperial Physician Zhang stroked his beard, looking quite embarrassed. He couldn't be sure that Su Qingwen would really come back to life. It was all unknown!

"Your Majesty, I'm not sure either. Anything is possible. But judging from the current situation, Concubine Xian is unconscious. That is to say, no matter what you say to her or do to her, she won't respond." Imperial Physician Zhang let out an almost inaudible sigh and said.

"Okay." Hua Yueye lowered his head and tightly grasped Su Qingwen's warm hands. "It doesn't matter. As long as she can still breathe and has a heartbeat, it means there's still hope. I'll wait for her here."

Imperial Physician Zhang was a bit surprised to see the emperor's infatuation. He glanced at Hua Yueye but said nothing, just quietly lowering his head.

"Your Majesty, I'll surely try my best to save the concubine." Imperial Physician Zhang quickly said.

"Okay, you can go." Hua Yueye didn't want to say much. He just quietly looked at Su Qingwen and reached out to arrange the strands of hair on her temples.

At this time, Su Qingwen's soul walked in. Seeing the pain on Hua Yueye's face, she couldn't help sighing. "System, can I go over and touch Hua Yueye?"

[System: Well, theoretically, it's not allowed, but you can give it a try.]

"Okay." Su Qingwen missed Hua Yueye so much. She quickly walked up to him, looking at the man in front of her with heartache. Then she reached out and touched Hua Yueye's face.

She could feel Hua Yueye's skin and temperature, but she wasn't sure if Hua Yueye had the same feeling.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Su Qingwen's eyes turned slightly red, and all her longing welled up at that moment.

Hua Yueye suddenly raised his eyes. He opened them wide in shock, feeling Su Qingwen's touch. Taking a step forward, he eagerly called out her name. "Qingwen, is that you? Are you here?"

As if stimulated, Su Qingwen was frightened. Didn't it say he couldn't feel anything? What was going on?

[System: Wow, I've never seen this situation before. It shows that the two of you have such a deep affection for each other that this happened.]

"Qingwen." Hua Yueye couldn't see her, but he could feel her touch. He called out to her eagerly, looking extremely anxious.

"Hua Yueye, wait for me for three more days. I'll come back to you in three days." Su Qingwen couldn't bear to see him like this. Tears welled up in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she quickly ran out.

Running all the way, Su Qingwen felt that her heart was about to be buried by grief.

She walked forward aimlessly, as if she were really a wandering ghost. Suddenly, she saw Li Ruhua's figure.

Late at night, Li Ruhua was walking forward with a lantern in her hand. Behind her was a fair - skinned little girl with crescent - shaped eyes. It seemed to be her personal maid.

Where were they going? Su Qingwen blinked curiously and subconsciously followed them, quietly listening to the conversation between the mistress and the maid.

"Miss, it is said that Concubine Xian used to cook for the emperor a lot. Things like cakes and all sorts of strange things. They looked really ugly. I'm sure, Miss, you're so dexterous that you'll definitely cook much better than her." Xiao Cui grinned and flattered Li Ruhua.

Hearing this, Li Ruhua sneered. Well, that was nonsense. Leaving other things aside, she was absolutely confident in her cooking skills. As long as Hua Yueye ate the food she cooked, he would surely forget all about Su Qingwen.

"Forget it. Don't say such things outside. Anyway, Su Qingwen is already dead. What's the point of comparing me with a dead person?" Li Ruhua touched her temples. There was a bit of disdain in her proud eyes.

Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment and swallowed back the words on her lips.

"Ugh, I've never seen such a brazen person." After hearing this, Su Qingwen felt like she was about to vomit blood from anger. She gasped for breath, covering her chest with one hand. "It's too much. She really wants to take my place while I'm gone."

[System: Honey, I support you. Go and beat the mistress right now.]

Su Qingwen: I'm just a pathetic soul now. What can I do?

[System: Although they can't see you, you can play tricks in the dark. For example, add some special seasonings to the food Li Ruhua cooked.]

"Right." Su Qingwen was stunned for a moment and then slapped her palm. "How could I forget such an important thing? Humph, I'll teach Li Ruhua a lesson later and let her know what it means to be all in vain!"

She quickly followed Li Ruhua into the imperial kitchen. Well, Li Ruhua's cooking skills were really good. She looked quite professional when cooking, like a great chef.

Taking a look forward, Su Qingwen opened her eyes wide in surprise. Goodness, was this woman going to make a whole Man - Han banquet? Could Hua Yueye eat so much food late at night? Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn't help despising this hypocritical woman in her heart.

"Miss, you've finished cooking so quickly. You're really amazing." Xiao Cui flattered on the side.

"It should be okay." Li Ruhua clapped her hands, looking at the food on the table with satisfaction and slightly curving her lips.

"Come on. It just looks good. Who knows what it tastes like." Su Qingwen's confidence weakened a bit. After all, the dishes did look quite appetizing.

Saying this, Su Qingwen unceremoniously took a bite. Immediately, she fell silent. Well, it did seem quite delicious.

[System: Don't be discouraged. You still have a way, right?]

"Right." Su Qingwen pouted and felt her motivation return. Then she found a seasoning box and, without thinking twice, poured it all in. Finally, she didn't forget to stir it.

"Hua Yueye, I'm sorry to make you suffer a bit. I'm doing this just to prevent that green - tea bitch Li Ruhua from succeeding. Please don't be angry." Su Qingwen murmured in a low voice, looking helpless.
