prosperous power pet

Chapter 369
"What did you say?" Xue Qi was struggling to hold Xue Yanchen, but now he heard the iron armored guard say "yes" in a cold tone, he couldn't help but staggered, his face changed suddenly, and he fixed his eyes on the iron armored guard.

"Master Ling can't leave." The armored guard still repeated the words just now, with a businesslike tone.

"What if... I have to take him away?" Xue Qi didn't know what happened, but the attitude of the two armored guards made him very unhappy, and his tone became harsh.What's more, how could he leave Xue Yanchen here to die?This is the only son he regards as his lifeblood.

"Then... I can only forgive my subordinates for being rude." The armored guard got Wang Xi's order, so naturally he couldn't let him go easily, even if the opponent was Xue Qi.

After finishing speaking, the two of them drew their swords out of their sheaths and raised their swords to stop Xue Qi.

Xue Qi was furious, his face flushed red with anger.

Thinking that he is a dignified and important minister in the court, but now he is being made things difficult by two small armored guards, and it is also related to Xue Yanchen's life, how can he swallow this breath?

"Get out of the way." Xue Qi is a civil servant and has no martial arts skills, but he doesn't believe it anymore. If he insists on taking Xue Yanchen away, can these two armored guards really kill him?
The two armored guards looked at each other, but neither backed down.

Xue Qi's face became more and more gloomy, he lifted Xue Yanchen up, turned his body sideways, and slammed his arm straight at the sword of the armored guard.

The armored guard didn't expect him to bump into him forcefully, he was startled, and subconsciously withdrew his sword.

Xue Qi didn't stop, and quickly walked out of the forest with Xue Yanchen in his arms.

At this moment, the iron armored guard's solemn voice suddenly came from behind, "Lord Xue, this is the emperor's order." The emperor is now in a coma, and Wang Xi's order can be equivalent to the order of Emperor Zhao.The Iron Armored Guards knew that with their status, they were far from qualified to stop Xue Qi, so they carried Emperor Zhao out. If Xue Qi still insisted on taking Xue Yanchen away, they would have a reasonable excuse if the higher-ups pursued it. up.

Hearing Tiejiawei's words, Xue Qi paused slightly.

"Father..." Xue Yanchen was already on the verge of death, his face was as pale as paper, his hand holding Xue Qi's lapel had gradually lost his strength, and he called weakly, even his eyes began to lose sight.

Seeing his appearance, how could Xue Qi care about other things.Although I don't know why Xue Yanchen offended Emperor Zhao, the most important thing right now is obviously to find the imperial doctor to treat Xue Yanchen, as for other matters, we have to stand aside now.

He didn't turn around, and the cold words drifted into the ears of the armored guards, "If the emperor asks, just say that the dog will be rescued, and I will personally take the dog to make amends to the emperor."

After saying this, he didn't stop, and strode out of the woods with Xue Qi in his arms.

Wang Xi hurried back to Emperor Zhao's bedroom, and saw that the imperial physician had already checked Emperor Zhao's pulse.

"Physician Zhou, how is the emperor's condition?" He looked at the imperial physician and asked anxiously.

The imperial doctor looked ponderous, "The emperor's pulse condition is a little weird. At first glance, it should be caused by qi and blood attacking the heart and causing a sudden coma. I have already prescribed a medicine for calming the mind and ordering him to decoct it. But..."

"But how?" Wang Xi tensed up.

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, "But... what is the root cause of the emperor, I am a little undecided. I need to go back to the imperial hospital to discuss with other imperial physicians before I can reach a final conclusion."

"Then... when will the emperor wake up?" Wang Xi frowned and asked again.

"Fast is today, slow...two or three days." Because of Emperor Zhao's weird pulse condition, the imperial doctor was somewhat uncertain, so he only gave a vague number.

"Two or three days?" Wang Xi was surprised.Xue Yanchen had such a big incident, if the Xue family knew about it, it would definitely set off a huge wave, and the empress would definitely not stop there.If it takes two or three days for the emperor to wake up, who will deal with this mess?

Duan Wang?Duan Wang was obviously on the same front as the Xue family, if he came forward, he would definitely not handle it impartially.It will be difficult for the emperor to punish him when he wakes up.

King Han?King Han has nothing to do with it.But for some reason, he didn't trust Shen Chuhan very much subconsciously, maybe it was because he left Zhaoguo since he was a child, Wang Xi always felt that he had other plans.

The imperial doctor nodded helplessly, "Emperor Zhao's physical condition has been up and down recently, so I can't say for sure. I have to go back to my colleagues in Tongtai Hospital to study carefully before I can come up with further treatment methods."

When Wang Xi heard this, he could only nod his head, "Then I will trouble the imperial physician Zhou, and please make sure to find out a treatment method as soon as possible, the emperor's body will not be delayed."

"Eunuch Wang, you are being polite." After saying that, the imperial doctor carried the medicine box on his back, "Then I will go back to the imperial hospital first. As soon as there is news, I will send someone to inform Eunuch Wang."

Wang Xi agreed and asked Xiao Fuzi to send the imperial physician out.

After the imperial physician and Xiao Fuzi left, Wang Xi heaved a heavy sigh, looking at Emperor Zhao with his eyes closed on the dragon couch, feeling unprecedented worry in his heart.Emperor Zhao didn't wake up for a day, and the development of things became more and more difficult to control. The only thing he could do now was to pray that Emperor Zhao would wake up soon.

Thinking about the unfinished palace banquet in the Imperial Garden, Wang Xi called the palace servants to come in to take care of Emperor Zhao, and hurried to the Imperial Garden.

At this time, the imperial garden was already in a commotion.

Emperor Zhao went away for a long time and did not come back. Everyone didn't know what happened, so they inevitably started talking about it.

The queen sitting at the top was also a little restless.

Jun Che chased Emperor Zhao and Shen Chuhan out of the Imperial Garden just now, and he hasn't come back until now. At the Xue family's side, her brother and Yan Chen have disappeared.He clearly agreed to do it today, but now that Emperor Zhao is gone, how can he do it? !
He clenched his fists resentfully, and was a little annoyed for a while, but he didn't know who to annoy, so he had to suppress his anxious mood and wait for the time being.

Besides her, Concubine De at the side was also a little uneasy.

After Jun Han's death, she knew that she had no leverage to fight against the queen, so she could only restrain her edge and act in a low-key manner.Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Emperor Zhao suddenly sent someone to inform her that she would organize the flower viewing banquet this time.

She wanted to refuse, but after discussing with her father, she agreed.

The emperor wanted her to organize the flower viewing banquet, just to share the queen's power.Originally, her current situation was not suitable for a direct confrontation with the Queen.However, her father told her that recently the emperor had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Xue family, and the distribution of the queen's rights was only the first step. The Xue family and the queen would probably not be as prosperous as they are now.

The competition between King Duan and King Han has now reached a fever pitch.Her father felt that the final winner of this invisible war must be King Han.The Shu family and the Xue family were at odds with each other, and they also cared about making enemies again.On the contrary, maybe they can use this opportunity to show kindness to King Han, and when King Han really takes that position, they won't be too embarrassing for them.

Her father has always been very accurate in seeing people, so she no longer hesitated, agreed, and did her best to organize the palace banquet.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhao was in a bad mood today, but he didn't know why?Could it be... that I didn't manage the palace banquet well?After all, she hadn't organized such a large palace banquet for a long time, so she was inevitably a little worried.

Taking a look at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan's seats, they found that they hadn't come back since they left the table just now, and the seat of King Duan was also vacant, leaving only the side concubine of King Duan here, with a somewhat panicked expression on their faces.

She frowned involuntarily.

What happened?
When he was secretly puzzled, he suddenly saw a person hurriedly approaching the entrance of the imperial garden with his sharp eyes. It was Wang Xi who was serving by Emperor Zhao's side, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Just now Wang Xi walked with Emperor Zhao, he must know what happened.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his body, watching Wang Xi's footsteps hurrying forward without blinking.

Wang Xi walked around to the upper seat from the side, glanced at Concubine De and the Empress, his eyes flashed, and finally he looked at the two at the same time and said, "Empress, Empress De, the Emperor is not feeling well today, so he can't come. It's gone." As he spoke, his eyes turned to the queen, "I would like to ask the empress to tell everyone."

The queen frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?" It's all right, why did you suddenly feel unwell?It's not an excuse, is it?
Wang Xi smiled sheepishly, naturally he would not reveal the details to her, and only said vaguely, "The emperor has been overworked recently, and the imperial doctor said that he needs to rest more." Saying this, he bowed to the queen, "I am sorry for the empress."

"Is the emperor okay?" Concubine De frowned slightly, looked at Wang Xi worriedly and said.

Hearing that Concubine De was concerned about Emperor Zhao's physical condition, Wang Xi's heart warmed slightly, and his tone became a little gentler, "The imperial doctor said that he has been working too hard recently, so he should be fine after taking a good rest, Empress De Concubine, don't worry."

"That's good." Concubine De let out a sigh of relief, lowered her brows, and didn't make another sound.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the palace banquet.As for Emperor Zhao, after the palace banquet is over, she will see if she wants to visit her.

Hearing that he obviously didn't want to reveal anything, the Queen's eyes were a little displeased, but she also knew that Wang Xi was the most loyal dog around Emperor Zhao, even if she asked again, she would definitely not be able to ask anything.Suppressing the hatred in my heart, I glanced at him, and said coldly, "I know."

As he spoke, he stood up and tapped the cup with silver chopsticks to signal everyone to be quiet.

All eyes turned to her.

"The emperor feels a little unwell today, so he will go back to the palace to rest first. Everyone can do what they want. After the palace banquet is over, there will be servants to guide you out of the palace." As he spoke, he nodded slightly and sat down.

Seeing that the explanation was complete, Wang Xi thanked the queen and turned to leave.

"Wang Gonggong." Concubine De stopped him.

"Is there something else for Defei?" Wang Xi looked at her and asked.

"Wang Gonggong is going to the emperor now?"

Wang Xi nodded.

Concubine De hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and said, "I am a little worried about the emperor's health, can I go to see the emperor with Wang Gonggong."

Wang Xi was startled for a moment, and quickly expressed apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, Empress Concubine De, the imperial doctor ordered that the emperor needs rest now, and can't see guests for the time being. But I will definitely inform the emperor of your empress' kindness." Emperor Zhao now The situation is unknown, the best way is to refuse to see the guest, so as not to leak his situation and make people panic.

Concubine De didn't have much hope at first, but she was very calm when she heard the words, she nodded slightly disappointed, "Okay then, I will wait for the emperor to recover before I go to see him. On the emperor's side, please ask the king Father-in-law."

Wang Xi nodded, smiled respectfully, "This is what a slave should do, your empress is polite." After saying that, he saluted and said goodbye to her, and hurriedly left the imperial garden.

As soon as he left, the queen looked over thoughtfully.

Concubine De looked back at the past calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Although the queen has the upper hand now, whoever wins may die, and she doesn't need to show a groveling appearance to the queen.Besides, even if she flattered the queen in every possible way, the queen would not give up targeting her and the Shu family because of this, so why bother to say it many times.

The queen withdrew her gaze coldly, as if she didn't want to get entangled with him.

At this time, from the corner of her eye, she saw a court lady hurriedly walking behind the queen, and whispered something in her ear, the queen's expression suddenly changed.

"What did you say?" Faintly, she heard the queen's furious voice, she couldn't help but pricked up her ears.

It's a pity that the queen seemed to realize that her voice was too loud just now, she immediately lowered her voice, and whispered a few words to the maid with a gloomy face.The maids responded one by one, and quickly turned around and retreated.

The queen's face lost all color, and a look of panic appeared in her eyes.

She picked up the wine cup and took a big gulp.

After drinking the spicy wine, I felt that my restless mood had settled down a bit.She never thought that Xue Yanchen, that rebellious son, would actually do such a deceitful thing!Now, the entire Xue family has to accompany him to suffer.

It turned out that the person sent by Jun Che just now told the queen what happened in the forest just now.After all, they still want to continue to cooperate, so Jun Che took this opportunity to show her a second favor.As for whether the queen should save Xue Yanchen and how to save him, these are not issues that he should consider.

Of course, because Jun Che left early, he didn't know what happened later, and he didn't even know that Xue Yanchen was half dead now.

The queen thought for a moment, and although she was trembling with anger, she still stood up.

Xue Yanchen was ignorant and incompetent in cockfighting and dog-fighting, but he doted on his brother and grandfather very much. She had persuaded her many times, but they said it was good, and next time they would not stick to Xue Yanchen. Unexpectedly, they would stab such a big one now. Come on!

Having an affair with the emperor's concubine, if it's serious, but if it's Zhu Jiuzu's!Even if he doesn't think about himself, he still has to think about the Xue family!
Although the queen hated her, she also knew that her elder brother was such a precious son, if something went wrong, something might happen.Right now, she can only try her luck.

Thinking this way, he moved his feet, and was about to rush over to check the situation, but saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the imperial garden, it was Liuli who was supposed to stay in the palace.For this flower viewing feast, she only brought Yingluo over, why did Liuli appear to be in such a hurry?
The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, Liu Lixing came up to her and saluted hurriedly, with an ugly expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" The Queen's heart sank suddenly.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Liu Li said with a mournful face and lowered her voice.

"What's going on?" The queen pulled Liuli a few steps aside, stared at her closely and said sharply.

"Xue... Mr. Xue was seriously injured for some reason. Master Xue carried him to the empress's palace. The imperial physician is currently treating Mr. Xue's wounds. Mr. Xue... Mr. Xue asked his slaves to come and invite the empress to go back." Liu Liyu With a choked voice, he stammered and finally explained the whole story.

"What did you say?!" The queen's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at Liuli incredulously, the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze Liuli to death.

She nodded timidly, just as Ai Aidi was about to repeat it, the queen interrupted her coldly, "Why is Mr. Xue injured?"

Liuli shook her head, and said with some fear, "Your servant... I don't know about this servant, Master Xue... Master Xue didn't say anything either."

The queen heard that she couldn't stay any longer, she flicked her sleeves and hurried out of the imperial garden.Liuli glanced at Yingluo who didn't know why in a panic, and followed her together.

In the garden, there were two eyes following the queen, until her figure disappeared outside the imperial garden, and then they retracted thoughtfully.

These two gazes came from Concubine De.

The other one came from Yun and Di Ji, Jun Wan who had been very quiet at the palace banquet today.

The queen hurried back to the palace.

Liuli placed Xue Yanchen in the side hall. As soon as she entered the side hall, there was a strong smell of blood. She frowned and quickened her pace.

Lifting the curtain and entering the inner room, he immediately saw Xue Yanchen lying on the couch.His face was pale, his breath was weak, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic!
The imperial doctor was nervously treating Xue Yanchen's wound, while his elder brother Xue Qi was standing anxiously aside, with a pale face, staring closely at Xue Yanchen who was on the couch.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was the queen. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then a look of despair appeared in his eyes.

The queen frowned even tighter, and took two steps forward, since the imperial physician was here, it was not easy to say anything to Xue Qi, so she could only stand nervously aside with him, waiting for the imperial physician to treat Xue Yanchen's wound well.

Unexpectedly, although the wound was sprinkled with hemostatic wound medicine and carefully wrapped with a bandage, blood was still oozing out.The imperial doctor's face became more and more ugly, and his hands trembled a little.

"Doctor, how is my nephew...?" Seeing that Xue Yanchen's aura was getting weaker and weaker, and his eyes were almost closed, the queen couldn't wait any longer, and asked hastily.

The imperial physician withdrew his hand to check Xue Yanchen's pulse, turned to look at the queen, and suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop", with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, "I am incompetent, please ask the queen to make amends."

"What does Imperial Physician Qi mean?" The queen's face collapsed, and her deep eyes were fixed on the imperial physician's expression.

"Mr. Xue's injury is too serious. This minister... this minister is really helpless. Mr. Xue is now holding his last breath with the ginseng piece in his mouth. Madam... Please make preparations early." Shaking, he spoke tremblingly.

"Impossible!" Before the Queen could answer, Xue Qi spoke before her. His eyes were red, his lips were twitching, and he stared at the imperial physician. His cold gaze made the imperial physician shrink back involuntarily.

"I'm a humble minister... I'm really sorry for my incompetence, Mr. Xue, I'd better... invite another expert." The imperial physician said bravely.Xue Yanchen's wound was serious, and it took so long. Although he said to ask Xue Qi to hire someone else, he knew very well in his heart that Xue Yanchen's current situation was really helpless, and even the god Da Luo couldn't save him. him.

Xue Qi's eyes were red, and he looked at the imperial doctor as if he wanted to eat people.

The queen frowned, feeling a little tricky for a moment.

In fact, if Xue Yanchen died like this, it would be beneficial for her.Having an affair with a concubine in the palace is a capital offense no matter what, but Xue Qi will definitely try to save Xue Yanchen, which will inevitably lead to conflicts with the emperor, and her situation will only become more difficult at that time.

"Empress, you must have a thousand-year-old ginseng here, right? Can you...renew Yanchen's life? Renew Yanchen's life! As long as you save Yanchen, you...you can do whatever you want me to do. "Xue Qi was obviously completely flustered by the imperial physician's words, he looked at the queen and begged repeatedly.

"Brother, calm down." The queen restrained her thoughts and had no choice but to dissuade her.

"Yanchen is going to die! How can I calm down!" Xue Qiqiang's self-repressed emotions suddenly broke out at this moment, watching the queen roar hysterically, his eyes were red, as if he was about to kill someone at any time.

Everyone was startled, and the queen frowned severely.

Even if Xue Qi is her elder brother, but her status as queen is here, Xue Qi has no status and qualifications to yell at him.

Seeing the empress's face suddenly changed, Xue Qi quickly realized his gaffe, swallowed the panic and uneasiness in his heart, looked at the empress and begged again, "Your Majesty, you...you can save Yanchen, he is The only son of Weichen."

The queen looked helpless.

The imperial physician's words have been made very clear, so what if you take a thousand-year-old ginseng?At most, it's just another breath.But she also knew that under such circumstances, Xue Qi would definitely not listen to anything, pursed his lips, looked at Yingluo and said, "Yingluo, go, get the old ginseng that the emperor rewarded last time."

Xue Qi's eyes turned red, "Thank you, ma'am."

The queen waved her hand, and looked at Xue Yanchen who was on the couch, with an almost invisible gloomy look in her eyes.She stepped forward, stared at him closely, and said in a warm voice, "Yanchen, tell aunt, who hurt you like this?"

Just after asking this question, he suddenly realized something, and his eyes suddenly turned to look at the agitated imperial doctor behind him.Frightened by the coldness in her eyes, the imperial physician shuddered, and quickly understood, bowing his head and saluting, "Then... I will take my leave first..."

"En." The queen responded coldly, and added, "Remember, today, you have not been in this palace."

The imperial doctor has been in the palace for so long, so he is naturally a fine person, so he nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, "I understand, please rest assured, Madam."

The queen's face softened a little, she looked at Liuli and ordered, "Liuli, send Imperial Physician Qi out."

Liuli should be, and hastily led the imperial physician out of the side hall.

The queen then turned her head to look at Xue Yanchen again, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, and said softly, "Yanchen, you tell auntie, auntie will definitely give you justice."

Hearing this, Xue Yanchen's emotions suddenly became agitated, and he wanted to say something, "Yiyiyaya", but he couldn't breathe out, choked in his throat, his breathing suddenly became rapid, he rolled his eyes, and looked like he was dying. look alive.

Xue Qi jumped, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xue Yanchen's hands, crying so anxiously, "Yanchen, don't scare daddy, you...you will definitely get better."

Xue Yanchen finally took a breath, looked at the queen, and squirmed his lips to say a few words.The queen was waiting to get closer to hear it clearly, when suddenly, Xue Yanchen coughed violently again, his body shook uncontrollably, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Xue Qi was so flustered that he didn't know what to do, he subconsciously wiped away the blood from the corner of Xue Yanchen's mouth with his hand, but the next moment, he saw Xue Yanchen's eyelashes tremble, his eyes closed tightly, and the fidgeting hand beside him suddenly stopped moving .

He was so frightened that he stretched out his hand tremblingly to feel Xue Yanchen's breath, but when he did so, his face turned as pale as paper.

The next moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, and with a "wow", he threw himself on Xue Yanchen and burst into tears, "Yanchen! Yanchen! You're killing my father."

Seeing this posture, the queen's heart sank suddenly, and her face became more and more dignified.

It seemed that Xue Yanchen really didn't hold on and was already dead.

Xue Yanchen's death didn't touch her much, and even, deep down in her heart, she felt a little lucky.However, the mess that Xue Yanchen left for her after his death was enough to give her a headache.

Fangcai Junche clearly sent someone to tell her that Xue Yanchen and Ruan Yingying were having an affair in the palace, and was bumped into by Emperor Zhao. The emperor was furious and had already killed Ruan Yingying. If she wanted to save Xue Yanchen, she had to go there quickly.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to arrive at the scene of the incident, the incident developed into what it is today.

Among them, what happened?
Her eyes fell on Xue Qi.Xue Qi only had a son like Xue Yanchen, how could he bear it if he was suddenly asked to give away a white-haired man to a black-haired man?Although the man did not flick his tears lightly, he was crying uncontrollably at this time, his shoulders were shaking violently, and he looked heartbroken.

The queen knew that she shouldn't bother him at this time, but this incident was full of weirdness. If she didn't find out the situation in time, she was afraid that something unexpected would happen.

After thinking about it, he still called out, "Brother."

Xue Qi didn't look back, but the wailing just now stopped a little, only the sound of sobbing could be heard, his eyes seemed to fall on Xue Yanchen's face that gradually lost blood color and became cold without blinking, no one could read his eyes. understand emotions.

"Brother..." The Queen hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

This time, Xue Qi finally reacted.

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the queen coldly, his eyes had lost all luster, leaving nothing but ashes.

"Brother, I know you are sad now..."

Xue Qi still didn't make a sound.

The queen suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and still kept her temper patient, with tears in her eyes deliberately, "Brother, Yan Chen has already left, and I am also very sad. But now we have other things to do besides being sad. You Don't you want to know who the murderer who hurt Yanchen is?" Her voice was choked up, and there were provocative emotions in her words.

Xue Qi's stagnant eyes finally rippled.

He stared at the queen firmly, and squeezed out a few words coldly through the gap between his teeth, "If you teach me who the murderer is, I will definitely make him die."

The queen nodded, "Don't say that my brother will not let him go, I will definitely do everything possible to make him suffer. But the most urgent thing now is to find out who the murderer of Yanchen is."

Xue Qi took a deep breath and finally regained some sanity.

"What's your opinion?" He said in a cold voice, with hatred in his eyes.

"Just now Liuli told me that it was my elder brother who came to my bedroom with Yanchen in his arms. Then... where did my elder brother meet Yanchen?" The queen kept an eye out and did not tell in advance what she heard from Jun Che. Xue Qi.

Thinking of this, Xue Qi's eyes became cold again, and he clenched his fists suddenly, with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, "If it wasn't for those two armored guards to stop him, Yanchen might not die right now!" When he fell, his fist suddenly hit the edge of the bed heavily, making a loud "bang".

The queen's heart shrank, and she tried to calm down. She thought carefully about Xue Qi's words just now, and there was suspicion in her eyes, "Two armored guards? What's going on?"

Xue Qi took a deep breath and told the queen what happened after he left the imperial garden just now.

The queen frowned upon hearing this.Suddenly, he frowned, as if he had figured out something.

When Xue Qi saw it, his eyes darkened slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you think of?"

The queen sighed, "Just now the two armored guards said that it was the emperor's intention that Liu Yanchen waited there to die. Brother, do you know why the emperor gave such an order?"

Xue Qi's eyes turned cold, "The Emperor's dissatisfaction with the Xue family is no longer a matter of a day or two. If he wants Yan Chen to die, does he need any reason?"

"The emperor wants to deal with the Xue family, but he is cautious by nature. Before that, he will not attack the Xue family for no reason." The queen's voice also became gloomy.

Hearing that there was something in the queen's words, Xue Qi's face darkened, and his voice was dark, "Does your empress know something?"

"Ruan Zhaoyi, who has been the most popular in the palace recently, brother should know about it, right?" the queen said in a deep tone.

Xue Qi frowned, "Ruan Jiaming's daughter?"

The queen nodded, "I heard that Yanchen and her were childhood sweethearts?"

Xue Qi snorted coldly, "Ruan Jiaming originally wanted to marry my family, but his father didn't like him, so the matter was left alone. Unexpectedly, he actually sent his daughter to the palace. I heard that her daughter is quite Favored?"

Hearing Xue Qi's tone, the queen understood that Xue Qi didn't know about Xue Yanchen's affair with Ruan Yingying.

She sighed heavily, and said worriedly, "Brother, do you know that Yanchen... had an affair with Ruan Zhaoyi."

"What did you say?!" Xue Qi was shocked, staring at the queen with wide eyes.

The queen's face was heavy, "Not only did the two of them have an affair, but...the emperor caught him right away today."

Xue Qi shook his body, looked at the Queen in disbelief, and after a while, he said in a daze, "How...how is it possible?"

"I think... that's why the armored guard stopped you. The emperor wants Yanchen to die."

"You mean...the one who stabbed Yanchen was the emperor?" Xue Qi gritted his teeth, and it was difficult to discern the emotion in his eyes.

"I don't know." The queen shook her head.

Deep sadness welled up in Xue Qi's heart, he turned his head to look at Xue Yanchen whose face was pale and could not wake up anymore, his heart ached so badly.Even if Xue Yanchen was at fault first, it was still hard for him to accept the fact that he was no longer there.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and frowned fiercely, "But... the name that Yanchen said just before he died, is clearly not the emperor."

The queen also frowned, lost in thought.

Indeed, when she asked Xue Yanchen just now, although she didn't hear his answer clearly, she really didn't want to be like the emperor.

At this time, Xue Qi suddenly yelled, "It's Ruan Yingying! The person he's talking about is Ruan Yingying!" Gritting his teeth tightly, he looked at the queen, "My lady, where is Ruan Yingying now?"

The queen shook her head, "I'll have someone check it out."

As he said that, he called Yingluo in and told her to go down and find someone to investigate the situation.

Xue Qi's eyes as cold as a sharp knife fell on Xue Yanchen's face, and he secretly made up his mind, "Yanchen, no matter who hurt you, father will definitely make him pay with blood!"

*
The originally bustling flower viewing feast ended in a result that no one expected.

Emperor Zhao suddenly left the venue early, and no one knew the reason. The servants around him knew that the emperor had contracted the cold and needed to rest, so they rejected all the people who wanted to visit, and even canceled the morning court for the next two days.

Ruan Zhaoyi, who had always been in the limelight, suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where she had gone.It's just that the news was suppressed and did not spread outside the palace.

What few people know is that on the night of the flower viewing feast, a corpse was quietly transported out of the palace.

Two days later.

Today's morning court was still cancelled, and the ministers were discussing a lot, and some people who couldn't hold back even went to Prince Han's mansion, hoping to get some information from Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan didn't refuse the guests, but he didn't know anything about it. He only said that he didn't know much about Emperor Zhao's situation than they did.The ministers had no choice but to go back to the mansion, suppressing their emotions for the time being and watching the changes.

As for Duan Wang's mansion, rumors were released, saying that he was also ignorant, and closed the door to thank the guests.

In fact, at this time, Jun Che had already sneaked into the palace.

"About the matter between Xue Yanchen and Ruan Yingying, the empress is not going to explain?" After entering the empress' bedroom, Jun Che sat down at the bottom and looked at the empress and said coldly.

The Queen also didn't give him a good look, "I, like King Duan, have been kept in the dark about this matter. King Duan wants to ask me for an explanation, but I'm afraid he's looking for the wrong person."

Jun Che narrowed his eyes, "Master Xue doesn't know?"

The queen shook her head, "My elder brother has always doted on Yanchen, but he didn't know about it."

Jun Che snorted coldly, "Master Xue has really taught a good son." Because of Xue Yanchen's incident, their plans were disrupted, and they are still in a passive position now, Jun Che naturally has a lot of resentment in his heart.

The queen naturally understood, so she didn't plan to talk too much about it with him.

After that day, she sent someone to investigate the situation.As expected, Xue Yanchen was stabbed by Ruan Yingying, and Ruan Yingying herself was beaten to death by Emperor Zhao.After that, Emperor Zhao was in a coma because of too much stimulation.

Turning the subject, he looked straight at Jun Che, "Prince Duan entered the palace today, shouldn't he come to Xingshi to question him?"

Jun Che snorted coldly. After venting his emotions, he naturally started to talk about business. "What's the situation with the emperor? He has canceled the morning court for two consecutive days."

"The emperor is still unconscious."

Rao had already guessed in his heart, Jun Che was still a little surprised when he heard what the queen said at this moment.

"you sure?"

"The news from Little Fuzi will not be false."

"Do you know the reason?" Jun Che squinted his eyes and asked again, his eyes were heavy.

"According to Xiao Fuzi, even the imperial physician is a little uncertain about the emperor's cause, and it is still under study."

"What about our plan?" After a pause, Jun Che spoke again.

At the flower viewing banquet that day, they were originally planning to attack Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao's dissatisfaction with Xue's family has reached its peak. If they don't strike first, they will have to wait for death, and Jun Che can't wait any longer.So the two parties combined and decided to take a risky move, directly attacking Emperor Zhao at the flower viewing banquet, and poisoning Emperor Zhao's wine.

Once Emperor Zhao was poisoned and fell into a coma, the empress, as the lord of the palace, could take the initiative.He directly instigated people to put the crime on Concubine De, and then dragged out Shen Chuhan.

The Iron Armored Right Guard under Jun Che's control is already on standby inside and outside the palace, ready to attack the palace in the name of King Qin at all times and take down Shen Chuhan.As long as Shen Chuhan is taken down and takes the lead, the rest of the matter will be easy.

Unfortunately, before they had time to attack Emperor Zhao, things changed, so they had to give up for the time being.

However, it seems that their situation is getting more and more difficult now, and they cannot delay for a moment.

Once Emperor Zhao wakes up, he will definitely not be able to swallow the breath of being cuckolded.Even though Xue Yanchen was dead, Emperor Zhao's anger couldn't be appeased so easily, so the next one he had to deal with must be the Xue family.

The Xue family and Jun Che are now in a close relationship, so Jun Che will not just watch the Xue family fall.

The queen squinted her eyes at Emperor Zhao for a moment, then suddenly said coldly, "I think... Prince Duan already has an idea in his heart, doesn't he?"

Jun Che sneered, "The empress is a smart person, and she should be very clear in her heart that once Emperor Zhao wakes up, the Xue family, you, or me will all be the first targets he will deal with, so we must seize the opportunity .The current situation, if he doesn't die, then we die."

"It seems that Prince Duan wants to continue with the previous plan?" The queen's voice was erratic, with an unfathomable weirdness.

"What does the queen think?" Jun Che threw the topic to her again.

"You and I are on the same boat. If King Duan wants to do something, my Xue family will naturally support me with all my strength."

"Okay." What Jun Che wanted was his words, and his face softened slightly.He knew that the Xue family was very close to Xue Yanchen's treasure, and Xue Yanchen's death was more or less inseparably related to Emperor Zhao, so they also hoped that Emperor Zhao would die sooner.

"What is Prince Duan planning to do? Is it the same as before?" The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Now the emperor's palace is tightly controlled by people sent by Wang Xi, we have no chance to do anything."

"The emperor is still in a coma. We don't need to attack him anymore. We just need to shift the responsibility to Jun Shu. As long as we are the final victors, who will know the truth?"

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly.

It seemed that Jun Che really couldn't wait any longer.

But that's fine, Jun Che needs a strong mother's family, and she also needs someone who is friendly to Xue's family to take over the position, not to mention, she still has Jun Che's handle in her hand, if he tries to tear his face, he must It won't make him feel better.

Thinking about it this way, I made up my mind.

"I still need to discuss it with my brother and father, but I think they probably won't refuse such a good opportunity."
