"Your Majesty, you..." The Queen's face turned pale, and she glanced aside. She was trying to find a reason to explain, but she suddenly spotted a familiar black figure standing in the corner of the room...
The queen's face turned pale, and her pupils shrank a bit. Against the light, she couldn't see clearly who was there, but it was obvious...that she had bad intentions!
"Tell me!" The emperor didn't notice it yet and still grabbed the queen's hand and yelled. However, because of his physical weakness, he started coughing violently after he finished yelling.
The queen pursed her lips in displeasure, pulled hard, and easily freed her wrist. She simply stood up and looked down at the panting emperor: "Yes, I did it!"
He was already suspicious, so she just admitted it without warning! She was going to leave sooner or later anyway, and he would know the truth sooner or later!
So she simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly without even calling herself "concubine".
The emperor obviously did not expect her to answer so simply. He was stunned for a moment, with his hand still raised in the air and trembling slightly. After a while, he smiled bitterly: "There are many people who want my life.
You still foolishly kept the danger around you for so many years!"
"I have not planned to kill you for many years." The queen said coldly, took a step back, and at the same time moved her eyes to the corner vaguely, thinking about who the dark shadow was.
"and you……"
"I just want to borrow your life." She interrupted the emperor's words and spoke calmly, which was a response to all his doubts.
"Vicious woman! How can you borrow my life if you want?" The emperor was furious, struggled to support his body and sit up, slapped the bed board and shouted, "Come here! Come here!"
He wants to send someone to capture her!
He doesn't allow any danger around him!
The queen's expression became stern, she immediately pulled out the hairpin from her head, stepped forward and put her head on the emperor's neck. If anyone rushed in, she would take the emperor hostage.
"Who do you want to call, father?" No one rushed in, but a voice that was both salty and mild came from the corner, making both of the two people in the stalemate stunned - it was Xuanyuan Jin.
"Is it you?" The queen was stunned, her hands loosened involuntarily, she let go of the emperor and took a step back.
"Quick! Call the guards in and take her down!" The emperor stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the queen, and motioned for Xuanyuan Jin to take action. However, he saw that Xuanyuan Jin was still standing motionless, with a faint smile on his lips.
The emperor couldn't help being stunned, and he suddenly realized something: "You..."
"Father, there is no need to scream. The people outside have been taken care of. They are all my sons..." Xuanyuan Jin said in a deliberately long voice. He looked proudly at the emperor's face turning ashen for a moment, and suddenly looked at him again.
The queen murmured, "Mother, your movements are really slow! It's better to join forces with you than to do it alone!"
He had seen the opportunity and naturally couldn't wait.
It is inevitable that those who want to achieve great things must take some risks.
The queen looked slightly stern and wanted to say something, but she finally endured it and stood aside quietly, not watching their "internal royal family" fight! It had nothing to do with her anyway.
"You traitor!" the emperor yelled angrily, "What do you want? Rebellion?"
"I can't bear the charge of rebellion." Xuanyuan Jin said calmly, slowly took two steps forward, and suddenly smiled, "I will think of a charge that is much better than rebellion. Father, if I don't
Come on, you should have already thought about handing over your country to others, right?"
Everyone is well aware of the emperor's physical condition - the imperial doctors have not found a way to completely eliminate the poison, so it is estimated that the emperor's time is running out!
Xuanyuan Jin naturally thought of this, and when he learned that the emperor was looking for Xuanyuan Hao alone, he smelled something unusual - if he didn't get there first, the throne would definitely fall on Xuanyuan Hao!
The emperor's face turned blue, and he stared at Xuanyuan Jin with wide eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth and choked out: "I'm not dead yet!"
You know, saying this in front of the emperor is treason and a serious crime that requires beheading! Xuanyuan Jin is really arrogant!
"If there is a will, it doesn't have to wait a hundred years after my father, right?" With a cold snort, Xuanyuan Jin directly explained the purpose of his visit, "In two days of ancestor worship, hundreds of officials will gather, and everyone in the world will watch. My father should know
How to do it?"
When Xuanyuan Jin said this, he knew that the emperor had heard it clearly - when he was worshiping his ancestors, he had to speak in front of his ancestors and clarify who would pass on the throne in a hundred years!
"Impossible!" The emperor flatly refused without thinking - Xuanyuan Jin was not meant to be an emperor, he had always known it in his heart! He could not watch the world lose at his hands!
"You!" Xuanyuan Jin's face darkened, and he snorted angrily. Suddenly, a gloomy look flashed across his face, "In this case, father, please don't blame me..."
Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped forward quickly, summoned up all his internal strength, and struck the emperor's Heavenly Spirit Cover firmly with his palm, causing his frail body to fall weakly on the bed, with a faint trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
.
"Ah!" The Queen exclaimed, her face turned a little pale, and she turned to Xuanyuan Jin, "Did you kill him?"
"No." He spoke coldly, with a hint of bloodthirsty arrogance in his tone. He patted his sleeves and murmured to himself, "My father is critically ill and the country is in chaos. Even if I force the king to conceive, there will be evidence to follow in the future.
...Mother, do you understand what I mean?"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.
The queen stood there in shock for a long time. It wasn't until the day's imperial doctor came over that she suddenly came to her senses - it seemed that the emperor only had one breath left!
"Xiao Guizi!" She walked out of the house, called out to her confidants, and lowered her voice and said, "Go and inform the Third Prince that the Emperor is critically ill..."
She believed in Xuanyuan Hao's wisdom and looked forward to things turning around...
