They say a friend in need is a friend indeed, no matter what attitude Qin Rushuang had towards Xie Xun in the past, no matter whether she was still willing to sincerely believe in Xie Xun...
At least at this moment, she believed that the man in front of him was sincere to her.
So Qin Rushuang nodded and agreed to Xie Xun's request.
"Okay, I promise you this is the last time. We will all be fine after this difficulty. Let's give each other another chance."
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Xie Xun smiled and said weakly, "It's very simple. I'll fake my death first. If I'm gone, all the ghosts and monsters behind this will inevitably come out one after another. Isn't it obvious who has bad intentions?"
Of course, Xie Xun didn't really want to die.
Xie Xun broke the fake death pill into two halves.
When this drug was first developed, it had two uses.
After swallowing one whole, the person will enter a state of suspended animation and lose all breath.
But if you only eat half a pill, you will fall into a severe coma.
If there is no antidote in hand, no matter what method is used, the person taking the medicine will not be able to wake up, and the person taking the medicine will just hang on for a breath, as if he is seriously ill and unable to wake up.
After Xie Xun finished speaking, he whispered some instructions to Qin Rushuang.
It was roughly about the distribution of forces in the DPRK and China, and who were the trustworthy people around him. Finally, he paid close attention to Linbao.
Fortunately, Qin Rushuang has a very keen sense of politics. Although she doesn't interfere much in matters above the court, she still understands everything that needs to be understood, so she nodded in agreement.
After that, Xie Xun took half of the fake death medicine with a smile.
Qin Rushuang wiped away her tears, took out the emergency communication arrow she carried in her arms, and put it into the air.
In less than a moment, the first ones to arrive were the shadow guards from Xie Xun's center.
Qin Rushuang did not hide anything from these brothers who had been with Xie Xun through life and death.
The shadow guards also followed Xie Xun's arrangements very loyally before he lost consciousness, and all actions were obeyed by Qin Rushuang's arrangements.
Half a day later.
The news that Xie Xun was bitten by a poisonous snake in the Royal Courtyard and was seriously injured and unconscious soon spread to Da Qi's court and throughout the harem.
That night, Qin Rushuang took Xie Xun, who was seriously injured and unconscious, back to the palace.
When she returned to the palace, she was haggard and haggard, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had cried.
She didn't even have time to meet Linbao, so she summoned all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to treat Xie Xun together.
It was just as Xie Xun guessed, after he was seriously injured and fell into coma, all kinds of monsters and monsters appeared.
Some people came secretly to find out if Xie Xun was really seriously injured, and some doctors who had brought their own magical rejuvenation skills came to listen to Xie Xun's treatment——
As for whether it was really hoping that Xie Xun would get better, or whether it was just to find out the reality of his serious injury, it's hard to say.
After Qin Rushuang returned to the palace, the first people she met were the courtiers who were not firm in their stance in the court.
Neither of them cares about the differences between men and women, and the harem cannot interfere in politics, so they all come to test Qin Rushuang's attitude.
After seeing off this group of people, the next ones to come were the courtiers who were truly loyal to Xie Xun.
Their attitude is very clear. No matter what, they will fully support Xie Xun and will temporarily stabilize the situation in the court. Even if something happens to Xie Xun, they will fully support Qin Rushuang and Linbao.
These people make Qin Rushuang most at ease.
After seeing off this wave of loyal courtiers, Qin Rushuang was a little surprised by who came next.
The person who came to visit the palace was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes.
When she saw her coming, Qin Rushuang thought for a long time before she remembered that this person was a concubine in Emperor Qi's previous harem.
Now that Emperor Qi is dead, she has become too powerful, and her title at that time was Li.
"Princess Li, why are you here?"
Behind Concubine Li was a teenage boy.
The young man looked at Qin Rushuang with a timid look.
Only then did Qin Rushuang remember that this man was Xie Xun's youngest imperial brother and Concubine Li's only child, Prince Wen.
Over the years, when the struggle between the fourth prince and Xie Xun became increasingly fierce, Princess Li had always taken the youngest prince with her and remained unknown in the harem, never participating in any disputes.
She kept herself to the point where Qin Rushuang almost ignored the mother and son.
At this moment, Concubine Li, who had lived in the palace for a long time, came to visit Xie Xun with her son, which surprised Qin Rushuang.
However, when faced with Qin Rushuang's question, Concubine Li seemed neither humble nor overbearing, and she saluted Qin Rushuang.
This move is also very interesting.
Logically speaking, Xie Xun has not yet ascended the throne, and Qin Rushuang is not the queen. As a junior, Qin Rushuang should salute Concubine Li.
But before Qin Rushuang could make any move, Concubine Li saluted her first, presumably to express her respect for Qin Rushuang and to secretly tell Qin Rushuang that even if Xie Xun fell, she would have no intention of overstepping.
But is this really the case?
This is very intriguing.
"I heard that the prince was seriously injured, and this boy was concerned about his brother, so he wanted to come and have a look. I tried to persuade him several times, but couldn't do it, so I simply came to take him for a look so that he could tell him that his brother was okay."
Qin Rushuang sighed and looked at the submissive King Wen behind Concubine Li.
"Both the concubine and King Wen have seen it. Your Majesty... I'm really at a loss. I don't know what to do. Linbao is still so young. It's thanks to the veterans of the court who are here to take charge. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos."
…”
Qin Rushuang said, her eye circles turning red again.
Concubine Li quickly handed over the handkerchief and comforted her, "Princess, don't think too much, the prince is the proud son of heaven, he will definitely wake up, and doesn't he still have His Highness?"
"The concubine is joking, Linbao is still so young, who knows what will happen in the future?"
The concubine comforted Qin Rushuang again.
Although she pretended to be very good, she couldn't escape Qin Rushuang's eyes.
A person's true caring expression will not be so superficial. I'm afraid that is not the purpose of Princess Li today.
As expected, the words were almost finished. Concubine Li asked tentatively, "Have you ever asked an imperial doctor to see how your prince looks like this? When will he wake up?"
As she asked the question, Qin Rushuang silently concealed the deep meaning in her eyes.
"All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital have taken turns to come and see. The prince was bitten by a venomous snake. The poison is so overbearing that the entire Imperial Hospital is helpless."
"When I'll wake up... I'm afraid it's still unknown."
"Have you caught the thief who assassinated the prince?"
Hearing this, Qin Rushuang suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Concubine Li.
"What did the concubine say? What kind of thief? The prince was just bitten by a poisonous snake unintentionally. Where did the concubine get this news?"
After hearing this, Princess Li stopped for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed across her expression.
"It's all hearsay. I thought that the prince is so good at martial arts, how could he suddenly be bitten by a rare poisonous snake?"
Qin Rushuang looked at her deeply again, "Does the concubine even know that the venomous snake that bit the prince is not an ordinary thing?"
