The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife Chapter 1080

Chapter 1080: The Winner Takes It All III

The emperor staggered out of the imperial study, lonely and dejected.

“Your Majesty, but…”

“Say no more. I have always been a freeloader my entire life. Without the retired emperor, I could never save Tianyue Kingdom.”

The emperor had always been hiding behind someone’s back. He could never fight in the front line. Had it not been for the retired emperor, he might have lost the throne.

Currently, this was the only thing he could do and hopefully, what he had done could save his life…

Seeing that the emperor was so determined, the eunuch did not talk further and only walked quietly after the emperor.

***

In the eldest prince’s hall.

Shen Die had accidentally p.r.i.c.ked her finger with the needle, Blood was seeping out of the wound. It made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.

She hurriedly put her bleeding finger in her mouth and sucked gently.

“Your Highness!” A servant stumbled into the hall from outside. Just as she walked through the door, she tripped over the door sill and fell to the ground. She crawled up to Shen Die, crying.

“Your Highness, something has happened!”

Shen Die merely frowned.

“What is making you so nervous?”

“His Highness, the eldest prince, has pa.s.sed away…”

The servant’s words sounded like a clap of thunder in the clear sky and it struck right into Shen Die’s head, causing a buzzing noise in her head.

Shen Die’s face was ghastly pale. Her mind went blank. She wanted to get up from the chair but had accidentally pushed the chair backward, losing her balance, and falling to the ground.

“Your Highness!”

Bursting into tears, the servant ran up to Shen Die and helped her up from the ground.

Shen Die’s nail dug into the servant’s skin. The servant winced in pain but was too afraid to retract her hand. Her eyes were flooded with tears. Simply no one knew the servant was crying out of sadness or pain.

“What did you just say? How could you curse His Highness? His Highness will never die! Absolutely not!” Shen Die rebuked.

“Your Highness, I am telling the truth. It is a news widespread in the palace that both the eldest prince and the retired emperor have pa.s.sed away. The spirit beasts have entered the palace and it is His Majesty’s decree to open the gate…”

Shen Die closed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.

It was such a ruthless fact that she could hardly take it.

“You are lying! You all are lying! His Highness will never die! What should I do if he is dead? What should I do?”

Shen Die had given her heart to the eldest prince ever since the first time she had met him when she was still a teenager. She knew that the eldest prince had never loved her back.

He had married Shen Die merely because her father was the grand preceptor who had commanded no less respect in Tianyue Kingdom.

However, Shen Die did not care. As long as she could marry the eldest prince and be by his side for the rest of her life, she was contented.

Even if her heart was broken over and over again whenever the eldest prince took a concubine, one after another, she still stayed by him without reservation.

Even if she knew that the eldest prince had given his heart to Gu Yiyi, all Shen Die wanted to do was to help the eldest prince win Gu Yiyi’s heart.

What did Shen Die do wrong? Why was G.o.d so cruel to take the eldest prince away from her?

“Arghhh!”

Shen Die clutched her head in pain and shouted at the top of her voice. Her pale face was filled with the agony of despair.

“Your Highness!”

“Who killed him?” Shen Die lifted her eyes, clenching her fists tightly. Her eyes went blank but her voice was filled with resentment.

“It was Gu Yiyi,” the servant answered in agony.
