Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Upon hearing such a shocking remark, Li Hongyuan didn’t show any surprise but instead started to laugh.

“Don’t you believe me?” asked Concubine Jin.

“Concubine mother, you’ve always been indolent and indulgent in pleasure. When did you start caring about politics?” Li Hongyuan gently helped her lie down and softly said, “You will get better, I will definitely find the person who poisoned you, no matter who they are. I will make sure their body is torn to pieces.”

A spark of light appeared in Concubine Jin’s eyes. She tightly grasped Li Hongyuan’s wrist and asked urgently, “Ah Yuan, will you avenge me?”

“I will,” he replied.

“Ah Yuan, remember your words.” Concubine Jin closed her eyes as a tear fell from her eye, whispering, “I really don’t want to die…”

Suddenly, a large amount of fresh blood poured out of her mouth.

The blood gushed out violently. As Li Hongyuan caught a glimpse of the red, it had already flowed to her chin, her dress, the quilt, and his clothes.

Li Hongyuan had seen life and death before.

But he had never witnessed someone losing so much blood in an instant.

Blood filled Concubine Jin’s mouth and nose. She struggled to the side of the bed, her head resting on the bedside, her long hair falling to the ground.

Li Hongyuan stood up and shouted, “Summon help! Summon help!”

The plump Emperor rushed in first, followed by the Imperial Physicians, and then the Jiang Family, as well as the Empress, who had a tightly furrowed brow.

The sight of blood everywhere gave the Emperor a tremendous visual shock.

He abruptly stopped in his tracks, eyes wide open in shock, staring blankly at the dying Concubine Jin lying by the bed and the deep red covering the bed, the floor, and everything else.

His lips trembled, his mind blank.

Even after being Emperor for decades and witnessing countless storms, he was unable to utter a word at this moment.

Jiang Ning rushed over, shouting, “Imperial Physician, come quickly!”

The Imperial Physicians frantically squeezed in, attempting to stop Concubine Jin’s bleeding and administer medicine.

However, their efforts appeared futile to Jiang Ning.

Concubine Jin’s condition clearly indicated that the poison had entered her organs, melting her insides and robbing her of breath. She’d ultimately suffocate and die right before her eyes.

If they had modern medical equipment, perhaps there would still be a chance.

Unfortunately, there were no such possibilities.

Standing by the bed, Jiang Ning watched as Concubine Jin spat out her last mouthful of blood and drew her last breath.

Her death was so tragic.

Jiang Ning felt a wave of nausea in her chest and almost couldn’t hold back the urge to throw up.

Just a moment ago, this was a beautiful, noble, graceful, and food-loving concubine with lively eyes full of allure.

Now, in an instant, she had become a lifeless corpse.

The Imperial Physicians tried in vain, but in the end, could only kneel helplessly before the Emperor to announce the death of the concubine.

The Emperor remained still.

Aside from staring blankly at the concubine on the bed, he had no other reaction.

The Empress was worried and gently advised, “The concubine has passed away. Your Majesty, please hold your grief and take care of your health.”

“Passed away? How did she pass away?”

The Emperor muttered to himself, looking at the blood-soaked Li Hongyuan, “Tell me what happened.”

Li Hongyuan was still immersed in the intense emotions of his concubine mother’s tragic death and could not bring himself back to reality.

Upon hearing the Emperor’s question, he finally managed to lift his head, his voice a bit hoarse, “She said her chest hurt terribly and she couldn’t breathe, then she started vomiting blood…”
