At this point, Xiao Junxi raised her eyes again and said with a sad face, "Father, back then, I could let go of the virtuous concubine who poisoned my son. But today, Concubine Shen intends to harm my son's unborn heir, but I am afraid of him and his queen." Extremely! If tolerance can only make them more and more rampant, how can I allow them to be so free?!"

Emperor Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but fell silent after Xiao Junxi's words.

At that time, Concubine Yue was punished by Emperor Jing for colluding with Miao Jiang to murder Xiao Junxi. But now Xiao Junxi told him that the real culprit back then was not Concubine Yue, but Concubine Xian!

He wanted not to believe it, but he had to believe it in his heart.

This son has never lied to him. Moreover, he has a sincere heart, why don’t he understand it? If Xiao Junhan and his wife hadn't pushed him into a hurry today, I'm afraid Xiao Junxi would have kept the truth hidden in his heart for the rest of his life.

In contrast, looking at what Xiao Junhan did, Emperor Jing felt even more chilled.

As he thought about it, the annoyance in his eyes became more and more obvious, and he said angrily, "Come here, let King Qi enter the palace!"

Xiao Junxi lowered her eyes to cover up the hatred in her eyes.

How could he not hate what happened back then? But he hated what happened today even more. If a man can't protect his wife and children, what kind of man is he

Not long after, Xiao Junhan arrived in a hurry, but after he said hello, Emperor Jing didn't wake him up.

Xiao Junhan's heart sank, and he looked up at Emperor Jing, only to see the latter looking at him with a gloomy expression. It seems that through him, I want to find the shadow of another person.

"Why does the father look at his son like this?"

Xiao Junhan thought about it for a long time, thinking that he had no other clues except what happened today, so he tried to say, "Father, what happened today was done by that poisonous woman of the Shen family without telling my son, my son." I have ordered her to be grounded after returning."

At this moment, Emperor Jing said coldly, "Humph, what a vicious woman."

After hearing this, Xiao Junhan also calmed down a little, because he said, "Father, please calm down, I will personally come to apologize to my third brother someday -"

Before he finished speaking, an inkstone suddenly hit him, and then Emperor Jing's voice sounded like a violent storm, "I believed in you mother and son so much at the beginning, but in the end, I was played around by you mother and son! First the children, and then the children. The Queen Mother, now!”

Emperor Jing pointed at Xiao Junhan with a trembling hand, strode over from behind the desk, lowered his head and glared at Xiao Junhan in front of him, and said bitterly, "I now know what it means to have a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam! Your mother-in-law is a poisonous woman. , you are not a good person either! In vain I have taught you all these years, and in vain I left a trace of affection for your mother and concubine after my death! But how did you repay me? Huh?!"

Xiao Junxi's illness for more than 20 years has tortured her life and death. Xiao Junyi's cruelty and arrogance made Emperor Jing once tilt the balance in favor of Xiao Junhan when choosing the candidate for the future great treasure. He even once proposed to establish a prince at the instigation of the concubine Xian. idea!

But in the end, the culprit who killed him and the son of the woman he loved the most was actually right next to his pillow! If Emperor Jing hadn't learned the truth earlier, she would have almost pushed her son to that position!

Xiao Junhan didn't know what was going on. He was enduring the storm of Emperor Jing. He wanted to ask something, but he still dared not speak for fear of offending Emperor Jing.

It wasn't until Emperor Jing gasped for breath that he stopped talking, Xiao Junhan asked in a trembling voice, "Father, I don't know what I have done to make you, Long Yan, furious. Please make it clear, father, I will definitely do this." Changed!"

Now that I think about it, it seems that there is only one thing left.

However, he killed all the insiders of the incident, and even the old nanny in the palace was strangled to death by his own hands. Where was the secret exposed

"Change? How do you change? How do you compensate for the more than twenty years of life-and-death danger for the third child?!"

Emperor Jing's words immediately made Xiao Junhan's head explode. It was indeed that thing!

"Father, son and minister—"

"Shut up! I don't have a son like you! I don't even bother to recognize the son of a vicious woman like you! Someone—"

Soon, the imperial guards filed in. Xiao Junhan's face turned pale and he immediately shouted, "Father!"

Emperor Jing gasped and said word by word, "Xiao Junhan..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly fell straight to the ground!

The surrounding imperial guards stepped forward one after another. Eunuch Lin, who was closest, ran to Emperor Jing's side first and said in a sharp voice, "Call the imperial doctor quickly!"

Seeing the sudden change in situation, Xiao Junhan froze on the spot and murmured, "Father!"

Emperor Jing's illness was particularly severe.

The concubines headed by Concubine Ye were all waiting outside the Qiankun Palace. Almost all the doctors from the imperial hospital were dispatched, coming in and out from time to time, but until that night, Emperor Jing showed no sign of waking up.

Xiao Junxi had already entered the palace in the afternoon, but Xiao Junhan did not leave. He kept kneeling outside Qiankun Palace, calling it reflection, but actually waiting for news.

Fortunately, the weather in March was not too hot. Apart from a little soreness in his knees, he had no other serious problems.

The night was as cool as water, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

Seeing the leader of the imperial hospital come out, Concubine Ye stepped forward first and asked, "How is the emperor?"

The head of the Taiyuan Hospital was an old man who was nearly sixty years old. Hearing Concubine Ye's question, he kowtowed tremblingly and said, "Back to you, Your Majesty, your Majesty is so angry that he fainted. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while. I’ll go and brew the medicine myself now, and I’ll make a decision tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, Concubine Ye's face turned pale. She looked at Emperor Jing lying on the dragon bed inside and felt a little sad for a moment.

It's just that she is the head of the harem and has always had excellent self-control. Yin Qiang smiled and said, "You go ahead."

Xiao Junxi had been guarding outside. After hearing the conversation between the two, she came in and said with concern, "Concubine, please go back and rest first. I will keep watch here."

Concubine Ye sighed, shook her head and said, "With so many things happening today, you should go back to accompany Zhuo'er. I can handle it." After saying that, she looked outside again and asked in a low voice, " Is King Qi still kneeling?"

Xiao Junxi nodded.

Concubine Ye sighed and ordered the chamberlain, "Go and invite King Qi back. After all, he is a prince. There are so many people coming and going. He kneeling there is injurious to his dignity."

The chamberlain took the order, and Concubine Ye looked at Xiao Junxi again and said, "Okay, you can go back, don't stay here."

Xiao Junxi couldn't resist Concubine Ye, so she had to bow and leave. After all, he was worried about Xie Ruzhuo, and he didn't know how she was doing at home.

When he returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, the lights were brightly lit and Xie Ruzhuo was sitting in the room sewing clothes.

She had learned a few tricks from Mr. Qiao in the past few days. The stitches were fine and dense, and the fabric next to the baby's tender body was soft and smooth.

After coming back today, she didn't take the matter too seriously. But when Xiao Junxi didn't come back in the afternoon, she became a lot nervous.

Only when she was making clothes could she temporarily forget these stressful things.

But despite this, she also looked into the yard for a long time, waiting for that person to come back.

After seeing Xiao Junxi return, Xie Ruzhuo immediately put the cloth in his hand aside and asked softly, "What happened in the palace? Why didn't you come back until now?"

Xiao Junxi sighed, "After I told my father about the matter, my father Long Yan was furious and later passed out. The imperial doctors have treated me countless times, but my father has not woken up yet."

"What?"

Xie Ruzhuo was immediately shocked and said, "What should we do?"

Xiao Junxi sighed and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have said that thing today." It was better to keep that thing in his heart than to let him see this situation now.

Xie Ruzhuo poured a cup of tea for him, held it in front of Xiao Junxi, and said softly, "There are many imperial doctors in the palace, so I think everything will be fine." As she said that, she thought of another person, and asked, "Yes Yes, have you asked the master to check it out?"

Wen Ruyu inherited her unique knowledge from the King of Medicine, and her medical skills were much better than those of the imperial doctors.

Hearing this, Xiao Junxi suddenly slapped her brain and said, "How could I forget about him? Zhuo'er, please rest for a while, I'll go out again!"

Seeing Xiao Junxi put down the tea cup and ran out, Xie Ruzhuo was stunned at first, and then laughed a little. It was clear to all bystanders that Xiao Junxi was probably too confused and didn't even think of Wen Ruyu.

Xiao Junxi left and did not come back until dawn. Xie Ruzhuo stayed up until the latter half of the night, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he went to sleep with Jiangzhu Qianbi's comfort.

He slept particularly restlessly that night. When dawn came, Xie Ruzhuo looked into the quiet room and asked, "Is the prince not back yet?"

Jiangzhu shook his head and said, "Not yet, Princess, don't worry too much. How about your servant accompanying you to the palace after dinner later?"

Xie Ruzhuo then nodded and said, "That's fine."

I don’t know what’s going on in the palace now.

It's just that Xie Ruzhuo didn't go to the palace after all.

After having breakfast under the service of the maid, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Xie Ruzhuo looked up in surprise and saw Zi Xiao walking in.

He walked up to Xie Ruzhuo and asked for greetings, and then said with a bit of joy, "Princess, the emperor asked the prince to go to the imperial study to handle the affairs for him. He won't be able to come back for a while, so he asked the servant to give you a message first."

Xie Ruzhuo was surprised at first, then happy, and asked, "The emperor is awake?"

Zixiao nodded and said, "I woke up this morning. Thanks to the wonderful hands of Dr. Wen, I spent the whole night giving the emperor acupuncture treatment. However, the emperor is still very weak, so he left all the affairs of government to the prince. He also said, let the prince himself decision."

Let Xiao Junxi handle government affairs by himself, which is a clear statement of attitude.

However, although Xie Ruzhuo was happy, he still considered the rules and said, "Go back and tell the prince so that he doesn't have to worry about me. You should also go back and watch over me. The prince is busy with business now and can't live without anyone around him."

Zixiao responded, said hello again, and then turned around and left.

Jiang Zhu on the side was okay. Although he had a smile on his face, he said nothing. But Qian Bi was different. She looked around, and then asked in a low voice happily, "Princess, is the emperor's intention settled?"

What she said was not subtle, Xie Ruzhuo naturally understood.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the room, so Xie Ruzhuo only glanced at her with a smile, and then said calmly, "Watch your mouth and eat."

It’s just that I can’t hold back the joy in my heart.

After planning for so long, I finally got a positive answer from Emperor Jing. After Emperor Jing's health gets better, Xiao Junxi may have to raise his status to another level.

From the prince to—

Prince.
