After the separation, the little widow Xianggong returned from the capital

Chapter 278 Chapter 278
In the Imperial City of Kyoto, Emperor Pei was lying pale on the bed, and Concubine Jing was holding a medicine bowl beside the bed, patiently feeding the medicine spoon by spoon.

It took half an hour to finish feeding a bowl of medicine.

"My concubine, I've worked hard for you these days." Emperor Pei stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Jing's hand, looking a bit strenuous.

Although Concubine Jing wanted to hide it very much, she still couldn't help showing a bit of worry and distress, "Why does the emperor need to say this, as long as you can gradually recover, the concubine will not feel hard."

She held his hand behind her back, and the two looked at each other. There seemed to be a thousand words in their eyes, but they didn't know where to start.

"Oh, the emperor and Concubine Jing really love each other, but it seems that I am a bit redundant as a queen." The empress came in from the outside, and seeing the scene of the two of them, she couldn't help but sarcastically.

Concubine Jing's eyelids drooped slightly to cover the emotions in her eyes, she let go of Emperor Pei's hand, stood up and saluted the empress, and said respectfully, "Greetings to the empress, the empress is joking, you and the emperor are married, and you have the same quilt when you are born. It's really enviable to die in the same hole."

"Heh, married couple..." The empress sneered, and looked at Emperor Pei who was lying weak on the bed with some irony, "What does the emperor think?"

Pei Sheng's eyes were cloudy, he didn't know what to think, his face was gloomy, and he asked impatiently, "What's the matter with the queen?"

The queen's back was straight, and she didn't hold back on Emperor Pei's change of topic, she said seriously, "Your majesty, what do you think? You should have made a decision, right?"

Emperor Pei's expression froze, and the anger in his heart came up after a while, and he said in a bad tone, "Queen, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, you are off the rails."

"Your Majesty." The empress's voice suddenly increased, even a little sharply, "Haven't you seen your situation clearly?"

Pei Di's face darkened, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Thinking of what happened not long ago, he gritted his teeth, "Queen, you really want to rebel."

"Why not?" The empress looked at him without showing any weakness, "I just asked you to write the imperial edict, but you are trying to shirk it. What? Besides my Zhao'er, who else do you want to pass on the throne to?"

The empress looked mockingly at Concubine Jing, her eyes were full of madness, "Except for my son, who is the eldest son who is right and proper, who is qualified! Is her son? Heh, he also has his life to share."

Concubine Jing's calm expression finally changed, "What did you do to my son?"

The Empress disdainfully said, "What else can I do?"

She looked at Emperor Pei with complaints all over her eyes, "The emperor can't make a decision for a long time, so I can only help you decide."

"You... Pfft..." Pei Di's heart was congested at first, but now, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Jing exclaimed, and immediately stepped forward, anxiously saying, "How are you? Please call the imperial physician."

Please ask the imperial physician, yes, please invite the imperial physician.

But there were only the three of them in the room, and the empress did not move, apparently not caring about Emperor Pei's physical condition.

"Empress." Concubine Jing reminded.

"What's it called? The imperial edict has been written. I'll call the imperial physician right away, otherwise..." The queen's unfinished words are already obvious.

Coincidentally, the crown prince has not yet been established. If the emperor really leaves, Pei Zhao, as the eldest son, can also take over the throne in a straightforward manner.

Pei Sheng's face was dark, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. At this moment, he suspected that the queen was responsible for his assassination.

Speaking of the assassination this time, Emperor Pei was really aggrieved. Up to now, he has not been able to find out who is behind the scenes. The other party is really hiding too deeply.

However, based on the behavior of everyone after he was assassinated, Emperor Pei had reason to suspect that it was the empress who did it. Even if she wasn't the mastermind, then she must have participated.

Even if she didn't participate before, what she's doing now is taking advantage of the fire and rebelling against her.

"Empress, this is not a place where you can cover the sky with one hand." Concubine Jing didn't expect the empress to be so arrogant today, she has already turned her face on it.

"Come here." Concubine Jing shouted outside, but no one came in, which made her look a little shivering.

"Oh." The empress sneered, walked to the table with ease and poured a cup of tea, and played with it in her hand, "Stop shouting, it's a waste of effort."

Panting heavily, Emperor Pei looked at her sharply, wishing to cut her into pieces.

The empress didn't care at all, which shows that she is full of confidence.

Emperor Pei's heart couldn't help but feel cold.

"What exactly do you want?" Pei Di asked in a hoarse voice.

"You write the edict of abdication, and when Zhao'er ascends the throne, you will naturally be released." The Empress Empress also did not hide the slightest bit, being straightforward.

Peidi was silent for a long time and said, "Let me think about it."

The empress rolled her eyes in displeasure, turned to leave, and said, "I'll give you an hour."

As the empress left, the room fell silent.

Concubine Jing frowned slightly, her heart was blocked, she looked at the pale and ill Emperor Pei, and said hesitantly, "Otherwise, you can write to her."

Hearing what she said, Emperor Pei looked at her in surprise.

Concubine Jing sorted out her words, and explained, "No matter what the empress or empress is, the eldest prince is of great character, so there is nothing wrong with making him the crown prince."

Emperor Pei was a little thoughtful when he heard the words, and seemed to be a little entangled.

Seeing this, Concubine Jing continued, "If we are just trapped here, it will be fine, but your body is exhausted and you need medical treatment urgently...Your body should be the most important thing in everything!"

The last sentence touched Emperor Pei's heart. He knew that he had hurt his roots this time, and if he didn't heal, his life might be in danger.

It's just that, to make him submit so aggrievedly, he really can't pass this level, and...

"Zhao'er has been weak since he was a child, and his body is not strong enough. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have children." Emperor Pei worried, "Besides, I don't know what the situation is like outside, and I'm afraid that the empress faction has other ideas. Zhao'er's accession to the throne is just a wedding dress for others."

Concubine Jing was silent. She thought of her son, who was still far away at the border, out of reach, and couldn't help sighing, "It would be great if Sheng'er was here."

Emperor Pei also felt the same way, "Yes."

The number one heir in Emperor Pei's heart now is Pei Sheng, and he really regrets letting him go to the battlefield at this time.

Things were caught off guard, he should have made plans earlier.

"Then what do you say?" Concubine Jing hesitated, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Help me up." Emperor Pei seemed to make up his mind and tried his best to support himself.

"What are you doing?" Concubine Jing hurried forward to help.

"Write the imperial decree." Emperor Pei touched his heart, gasped heavily, and frowned, as if he was very uncomfortable.

Concubine Jing looked worried, and could only support him with all her strength, trying to put his weight on her body as much as possible.

If it wasn't for his face, she would have carried him away.
