Chapter 40 Don’t want to be under one person

Over the past two years, the empress's body gradually declined.

She also stopped trying to conceive an heir with Jiang Xingzhi. Of course, she didn't have the strength to do it anymore.

Most of the time, she slept in the bed, silently and silently.
Like a living dead, lying there quietly.

It doesn't look like an emperor in charge of the world, but more like a decoration on the bed.

Jiang Xingzhi didn't want to know what the empress was thinking when she was lying on the bed, unable to do anything.

All he wanted was to seize power.

Once he tasted the power, he could never let go.

Rights, only by taking control of them, can he do what he wants to do, and can he no longer be controlled by others.

Jiang Xingzhi has been personally serving the empress's soups, medicines and food, just like the hands of palace servants.

He has won countless good reputations externally, and internally, he has gained the trust of the empress.

However, all smart people know what he is doing.

The remnants of the previous dynasty were in charge of the power, and there were countless courtiers who opposed it.

But there are also people who want to take Jiang Xingzhi's boat to the next level.

The so-called court is nothing but a contest between people's hearts.

Jiang Xingzhi has been with the Empress for so long, and it can be considered that he was taught by the Empress herself.

Although it was difficult for him to walk step by step in the court, it was not a problem for him.

Jiang Xingzhi goes back to his Kunning Palace for a walk every night.

He needed to handle government affairs in Zichen Palace to consolidate his power, and he also needed to serve the empress on her bed.

Therefore, the time to return to Kunning Palace every day is not fixed, and you cannot stay there for long.

He hasn't seen A Wu for a long time.

However, the number of snacks in front of the window decreases every day.

Every day a novel gadget would appear on the table in front of the window, whether it was an origami frog or a leaf from a tree that did not belong in the palace.

He knew that she had been here and came back every night. Although he could not see her, he was filled with joy knowing that she had been here.

When the empress woke up occasionally, she would cuddle up in his arms and let him slowly help her feed her soup and food one spoon at a time.

The empress looked at him with extremely affectionate eyes.

However, Jiang Xingzhi was indifferent.

He didn't even bother to take a closer look at her.

Although such an empress can no longer interfere with his affairs, even having such an empress who looks like a living dead person sits in charge, it is more convenient for him to act "righteously" in the court.

But, he doesn't want this effect.

He did not want to stand in the court as the emperor and empress of Kunning Palace.

On the day when the empress returned to her glory, she asked Jiang Xingzhi to help her get dressed.

Her body was so bony that her skin was no longer as smooth as silk as before, and her waist was so thin that it seemed she could be hugged with just one hand.

However, her facial features were more beautiful than before.

It was the majestic aura of the superior that had faded away, and the frail beauty was shrouded in weakness and sadness.

Her long eyelashes trembled, and she smiled slightly at him.

That smile is like a small flower bud blooming slowly in the river, pure and not contaminated by any dust.

Jiang Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked away from her face.

The empress was not wearing the emperor's clothes in the past, she was wearing a very ordinary horse riding outfit.

She said to him: "I want to go hunting at Xishan Palace."

The empress was rarely in better health, so she wanted to go hunting.

The ministers knelt outside the door one by one, begging the empress to think again.

Jiang Xingzhi naturally wanted to try his best to stop it.

But this matter, the empress insisted on it wholeheartedly, and no one stopped her.

It took the group most of the day to reach the Xishan Palace.
