Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

Chapter 204 Deathbed Entrustment

In Cuiweixuan, the master and servant had been happily making noises for the entire afternoon, so they went to bed early that night. Shen Zhiyao had even fallen asleep when she was woken up by Qiuyue.

"Master! Taoxiang from Qingyuexuan came in disguise, crying miserably, saying that something big happened in Qingyuexuan and Madam Lu Wanyi is dying. Please go over and take a look..." Qiuyue's voice was trembling at this time. Taoxiang's miserable appearance could not be erased from her mind.

When Shen Zhiyao heard this, her sleepy eyes widened instantly. Then she thought of the many suspicious points about Lu Wanyi and was afraid that something big had happened.

She didn't think it was that serious. She just thought that Lu Wanyi was asking for help, so she hurriedly ordered: "Go get a set of black clothes, you and Chu An will accompany me immediately!"

"Master... I don't know what happened over there. If we just go there like this, what if..." Qiuyue was full of worries, afraid of getting into big trouble.

"It's already this time, stop talking about this. Even if something really happened, I have to go." Shen Zhiyao answered confidently, there was no need to be afraid of trouble.

"Yes, I'll listen to my master." Qiuyue bit her lip and went to pack up immediately.

Shen Zhiyao dressed quickly and came out of the inner room. She saw Tao Qiang with swollen eyes, looking at her distractedly, as if the sky was falling.

"Empress Jin Shuyi..." Taoxiang wanted to cry again when she saw her.

"Calm down. It's not the time to cry. Let's go to Qingyuexuan quickly. You can tell me about it on the way."

Shen Zhiyao's voice seemed full of power, and immediately gave Taoxiang confidence.

Along the way, Taoxiang only gave a general account of what she knew, but she skipped the matter of Concubine Zhao giving Lu Wanyi medicine, as her master had warned her not to talk about it.

The more Shen Zhiyao listened, the more frightened she became. What on earth could Lu Wanyi have done to cause such a big fuss?

When they entered the inner room of Qingyuexuan and Taoxiang opened the curtain, Shen Zhiyao was still surprised even though she had prepared herself mentally.

Lu Wanyi's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, her lips were chapped, and black blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth.

Those eyes that impressed everyone so deeply had long lost their spirit and were just staring blankly into the void. If it weren't for the trace of breath that remained, it would have seemed as if he had already passed away...

Her body slumped limply on the couch, her limbs occasionally twitching as if she was twitching in pain.

The poison of the heartbreak grass was taking effect, causing her abdomen to feel severe pain as if it was burned by fire, and even some of her bones were aching.

Shen Zhiyao felt that she had seen all kinds of big scenes, but when she saw this scene, for some reason, she felt a pain in her heart and tears immediately fell like rain.

This was the first time that tears of true love were shed in this cannibalistic palace, not just acting.

"Sister Lu, why did you suddenly become like this? When I saw you yesterday, you were obviously fine..."

Shen Zhiyao walked forward and held Lu Wanyi's hand tightly, but the hand was so cold and weak, yet unusually stiff, without the warmth it once had.

Her tears dripped onto Lu Wanyi's stiff hands. She finally responded, turned around with difficulty, looked at her, and smiled reluctantly, "You...why are you crying..."

Shen Zhiyao had always used this sentence to comfort others. When she heard Lu Wanyi's hoarse voice, as if squeezed out of a broken bellows, she suddenly felt even sadder.

It was a kind of grief, not only for Lu Wanyi, but also for himself.

"Hold on a little longer... I'll go find the imperial physician, Imperial Physician Zhang... or Imperial Physician Qiu, they must have a way..." Shen Zhiyao burst into tears.

Hearing this, Lu Wanyi used up all her strength to squeeze Shen Zhiyao's palm and said, "Don't go... I drank the Heartbreak Grass, even if the Great Luo Immortal came... it would be useless..."

Some people, when you see them every day, you don't think they are that important. She can accompany Shen Zhiyao to appreciate the flowers and the moon, talk about life together, laugh and play together...

She silently infiltrated every aspect of Shen Zhiyao's life...

At this moment, this person is suddenly about to leave, and she will be torn away from your life. This feeling of weightlessness makes Shen Zhiyao feel that there is suddenly a void in her heart.

After crying for a while, Shen Zhiyao suddenly stopped crying and asked calmly, "Who did it? Tell me!"

Lu Wanyi knew what she wanted to do. Before she died, she finally felt the warmth of love from Shen Zhiyao. The funny thing was that the emperor was so stingy that he refused to coax her even for the last time.

She forced a chuckle: "I...drank it myself..."

Although Concubine Zhao forced her to drink it, she drank it on her own initiative, so it didn't count as deceiving Shen Zhiyao.

"Sister, you...I don't believe it!" Shen Zhiyao raised her eyebrows when she heard that.

"It doesn't matter who it is... I am already dying. I have done both right and wrong things in my life... If I have done anything inhumane, at least... please don't look down on me..."

Lu Wanyi said that she and Baoluan occasionally plotted to harm others.

Shen Zhiyao's heart tightened, and she comforted her emotionally: "Sister Lu has always been very good, you just... did what you should do... Humanity is not important to me!"

"That's good... Now that it has come to this, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to take care of my elderly parents in the future..."

Thinking of the fact that her parents would eventually have to bear the pain of seeing their children die, Lu Wanyi, who had always been open-minded, still shed tears.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to take care of you..." Shen Zhiyao replied with tears in her eyes.

"I won't talk about all the things I did in the past. You are a smart person and you will understand it later... I may be vicious, but I have never thought of harming you... I have also tried my best to protect you, but my ability is limited..."

"Now, I will shamelessly ask you for one last favor..."

"You're actually talking nonsense..." Shen Zhiyao choked up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Is there anything else you want me to do? But you can tell me, it's not a request."

"This is a bit difficult for you..." Lu Wanyi said, and then looked at Taoxiang and said, "Taoxiang is a very stupid girl... Without me in the future, if she is sent to a bureau, she will not live long. Why don't you send her to Cuiweixuan to serve her, okay?"

This matter was indeed a bit embarrassing in ancient times. The ancients were superstitious, and the personal maids of deceased concubines would be regarded as unlucky and avoided.

What's more, everyone in the palace knows that Cuiweixuan is very strict in selecting people. They would rather leave it vacant than recruit anyone casually, let alone servants who have had masters?

When Taoxiang saw that her master still entrusted her with her affairs before her death, she burst into tears.

"Don't worry, sister. Taoxiang will follow me from now on and won't suffer any harm." Shen Zhiyao responded very straightforwardly.
