The sunlight squeezed in through the window and shone on the gold quilt beside it.

Su Liuer's long eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Mother."

A gentle voice came to my ear.

Su Liuer turned her eyes slightly and saw a face as clear as jade.

It's Murong Yao.

He smiled slightly, showing two small tiger teeth: "Queen Mother, you are finally awake."

"Yao'er..."

A layer of warmth filled Su Liuer's heart, and her eyes fell lovingly on his face, with a little warmth.

"Why are you here?"

"The queen mother was poisoned and fainted, so her son came to stay with her."

He looked at Su Liuer's pale face and dry lips, reached out to take the warm water on the side, and carefully fed her with a spoon.

There were originally palace maids here, but he sent them away.

He had something to say to Su Liuer alone.

Su Liuer raised her eyes slightly.

"How long have I slept?"

"Almost an hour."

"Have you been staying here?"

"Ah."

Murong Yao stirred the warm water with a spoon and said, "My son is really worried about his mother, so he never leaves her."

He told the truth.

Su Liuer was poisoned, which was beyond his expectation. When he saw her vomiting blood, he was worried that something might happen to her.

But it wasn't entirely because of this that he followed.

"My son, I don't understand. My mother has never made any enemies, so how could she be poisoned?"

Su Liuer's eyes closed slightly and she asked instead of replying to him.

"What's going on outside now? If such a big thing happens, your father must be furious, right?"

"Father is indeed very angry and has sent Wu Dinghou's eldest son Qin Chengxuan to investigate the matter."

"Qin Chengxuan... That's a pretty good kid. I actually intended to give Mingyu to him before, but Mingyu didn't agree."

Su Liuer sighed.

Her children didn't let her worry.

"The Queen Mother hasn't answered my question yet." Murong Yao looked at Su Liu'er with burning eyes, "Does the Queen Mother know why she was poisoned?"

"My mother would like to ask you about this."

Su Liuer looked at him, with a rare stern look in her eyes: "Your father is still strong, and Heng'er is powerful now. You all dare to poison the emperor at this time, are you crazy?!"

Murong Yao narrowed his eyes and understood.

"Queen Mother...could it be that you changed the tea with your father?"

He wondered how Su Sheng could make such a fatal mistake.

Now that Su Liuer looked like this, he suddenly understood.

He was puzzled: "Why did the queen do this? Is it possible that you can't let go of my father?"

Su Liuer's eyes darkened slightly.

"If it was your father who was poisoned now, there would be chaos outside now, right? Yao'er, my mother thought you just wanted to fight for power, but I didn't expect that you would also want to force the palace..."

She reached out and squeezed his fingers tightly.

"If you fail, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Murong Yao's expression flashed, and then he lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake: "Uncle said that even if I fail, I will be picked clean."

Seeing him like this, Su Liu'er couldn't bear to be scolded, but her brows became more and more furrowed.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Murong Yao say.

"Uncle is outside."

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was opened, and a figure with an upright aura walked in.

Su Sheng's handsome and cold face had a slightly condensed expression.

He came over quickly.

"You're feeling better."

"You're lucky, you're not dead."

Su Liuer's expression was a little cold.

Murong Yao said: "Uncle and mother will talk first, I will go outside."

After speaking, he turned and left, giving the two of them space to talk alone.

Su Sheng stepped forward and saw that Su Liuer's fingers on the side of the bed were stained with blood. He knelt on one knee in front of the bed and took out the handkerchief to wipe her.

Just when he touched her, Su Liuer raised her finger and slapped him in the face.

He's just physically weak and doesn't have much strength.

Su Sheng's pupils flickered.

"Second sister?"

"Don't call me. You used to be arrogant and made me sleepless. Now you are simply crazy and you actually want to rebel?!"

Although she was extremely angry, she was still rational and kept her voice very low.

Su Sheng frowned slightly.

"You know everything?"

"Yes, I know that you wanted to poison the emperor today, but I didn't know where you poisoned him, so I secretly changed all the meals with him."

"Why?" Su Sheng's eyes overflowed with murderous intent, "Why are you protecting him like this?"

"I'm protecting you!"

Su Liuer's slender fingers pressed tightly against the edge of the bed: "Do you really think it's that easy? Heng'er has always done things carefully, can you guarantee that he is not waiting for an opportunity? And Shen Yue... He has returned to Beijing. The Shen family I am loyal to the emperor, and if I know that you are forcing the palace, I will definitely become your enemy, you are simply too reckless!"

Su Sheng's eyes showed a hint of light.

She said she was protecting him...

"I know it was reckless."

Su Sheng pursed her thin lips, softened her tone, and whispered: "I really want Murong Ting to die, so..."

"Don't let me hear such treacherous words again."

Su Liuer glanced at him coldly: "I'm tired, please retreat first."

Su Sheng wanted to say something more, but saw Murong Yao lift the curtain.

"Father is here."

Hearing this, Su Sheng's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and then he slowly stood up.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a bright yellow figure appeared in their sight.

Emperor Renjing came in, glanced at the people in the room, and then his eyes fell on Su Sheng's face.

It sank immediately.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Su Sheng spoke slowly. Although he behaved like a courtier, he showed no humility at all.

Emperor Renjing stood with his hands behind his back.

"Why is Prince Rong here too?"

"I'm worried about the queen, so I came over to take a look."

"Now that I have seen it, Prince Rong, please step aside."

"My minister retire."

Su Sheng's narrow eyes flashed with a sharp edge, and then he turned and left.

After the others left, Emperor Renjing's expression softened visibly.

He looked at Su Liuer on the couch and saw that she had woken up. He immediately came over and sat beside the couch and held her finger.

"The queen has suffered."

Su Liuer smiled lightly, her pale face showing a bit of weakness.

"It's okay, my concubine, but the emperor was frightened. Have you found out who poisoned me?"

"It will be found out."

Emperor Renjing responded lightly, then turned to signal Murong Yao.

"You also go out and ask the servants to bring some porridge."

"My son, I obey."

Murong Yao retreated.

When he left, he turned around and took a look.

Emperor Renjing sat on the edge of the collapse and looked at Su Liu'er with soft eyes. Su Liu'er looked peaceful.

They looked like an ordinary couple, warm and harmonious.

Murong Yao narrowed his eyes, turned around and walked out.
