Chapter 4130: 4.1730 Begging for Medicine

And she kept demanding a Soul Revival Pill for her son.

"I'm truly sorry, but unfortunately, your son has already merged with the dust. Even if he took ten or eight Soul Revival Pills, his soul wouldn't return, and he wouldn't be resurrected."

Duan Yue faintly glanced at Empress Liu, and said coldly, "What are you still standing there for? The Empress is unwell, help her back to Rencuan Palace."

"No, I won't go! No!" Empress Liu shrieked, suddenly throwing herself at Duan Yue's feet. "Rong Li, will you just stand by and watch him die?"

"This is your elder brother! Is your elder brother's life, in your eyes, nothing more than an ant?" Empress Liu said furiously, her voice outwardly fierce but inwardly timid. "You definitely have a Soul Revival Pill with you!"

"This pill isn't of much use to you now, anyway? Why are you unwilling to use this Soul Revival Pill to save your elder brother?"

Duan Yue gave her a mocking smile.

He remained silent, and those around him felt the atmosphere grow heavy, pressing down on their hearts, making them feel as if they couldn't breathe.

"Rong Li!" Empress Liu roared furiously. "Even if this Consort begs you!"

"Beg?" Duan Yue glanced at her, his eyes gaining a cold, sharp glint. "With what attitude do you beg me?"

He looked at the woman with an indifferent gaze.

Now she thinks to beg him?

What was she doing before?

Is it only your son, Empress Liu, whose life matters, and his mother's life doesn't?

Duan Yue took a deep breath, firmly suppressing the tumultuous rage and hatred in his heart.

Yes, this was retaliation.

And this retaliation had only just begun. If she couldn't bear this much, how would she survive in the future?

His cold, deep eyes stared intently at Empress Liu.

His chilling voice suddenly echoed in Empress Liu's ears.

"There is no Soul Revival Pill."

Even if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you.

Empress Liu completely collapsed, soft and limp, as if a breath in her chest was completely blocked, unable to escape or go down.

Suddenly, she opened her mouth, and with a "噗" sound, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty!" The palace maids and eunuchs shrieked.

The faces of Prince Li, Prince Rui, and the other princes also subtly tightened.

"Empress, why are you doing this to yourself?" Prince Qing's round face showed a hesitant expression.

Seeing the Empress in her current state, he felt a certain reluctance in his heart.

In the past, with the Liu family's substantial financial backing, how could Empress Liu ever have fallen to such a helpless state as she was in today?

"Prince Qing." Empress Liu cried until her makeup was completely smudged, wailing to the heavens and wiping away tears. There was no trace of imperial dignity left in her.

"Prince Qing, please help me persuade the Crown Prince. You must be aware of the Crown Prince's personal relationship with the Shenzhou Crown Princess. For the Crown Prince, it's merely a matter of lifting a finger!"

Prince Qing's face was filled with difficulty. He looked at the grim-faced Duan Yue, then back at the Empress. "Empress, you are truly putting this old subject in a difficult position."

"This matter is also very difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ascension is imminent; there are many matters to attend to!" Prince Qing said with a troubled expression. "Moreover, speaking of it, that so-called Soul Revival Pill is merely a legendary elixir."

"Whether it can truly bring people back to life, that remains to be seen, doesn't it?"

"No, it's not!" Empress Liu shrieked, interrupting Prince Qing, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at him. "It's true, the efficacy of the Soul Revival Pill is true."
