The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

The Queen's voice grew colder, and the doctor was so frightened that he dared not breathe.

The imperial physician glanced furtively at Concubine Yan and the Thirteenth Prince beside him, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The queen glanced at the mother and son lying on the bed, and walked to the front of the hall. The imperial physician understood and quickly followed, saying in a low voice:

"Your Majesty was originally poisoned. Although you have been suppressing the poison these days, the surge of blood and qi has accelerated the spread of the poison. I am really powerless."

The imperial physician is the queen's man, so he naturally knows the physical condition of Emperor Jingren.

But before, he could only pretend to be blind and could not tell the truth. Now that the queen asked, he could only lay the facts before her.

Upon hearing this, the Queen frowned slightly and said in a somewhat strange tone:

"That shouldn't be the case. The poison is clearly..."

The poison in Emperor Jingren's body was clearly given to Lu Jinghuai.

Lu Jinghuai was previously a close minister of Emperor Jingren and had always been by his side. It was natural for Emperor Jingren to develop the poison after smelling it for so long.

But these days, Lu Jinghuai has been in the Eighth Prince's Mansion and has not entered the palace again. Logically, the poison should not have worsened.

Moreover, in order to allow Emperor Jingren to live and write the edict of succession, she had the Imperial Hospital prescribe some medicine to stabilize Emperor Jingren's health.

But now, why has it become worse?

Could it be that I was too harsh before?

The Queen was silent for a moment, looked at the Eighth Prince who still had a hint of joy on his face, frowned slightly, and finally said:

"In this case, treat His Majesty first and make sure His Majesty wakes up."

After a pause, the Queen narrowed her eyes slightly and walked towards Concubine Yan and the Thirteenth Prince, her voice carrying a hint of murderous intent:

"As for you two..."

When Concubine Yan heard that the Queen had come back, she turned around quickly and saw at a glance that the Queen was looking at her and the Thirteenth Prince with murderous eyes.

She knew that the Queen did not want to keep them alive, so she raised her head and said:

"Why is the Queen so anxious? If His Majesty passes away, I will take the Thirteenth Prince with me to accompany His Majesty. It will only take a few days. Why is the Queen so anxious?"

The queen looked at Concubine Yan but didn't believe it.

Who would want to die if they could live? I'm afraid it's just an excuse.

But the Thirteenth Prince beside him choked up when he heard this, but his expression was extremely serious as he said:

"If my father were no longer around, Zhiheng would be willing to be buried with him. But my father is still here, and I want to accompany him on his last journey and give him a good farewell. I beg my mother to grant my wish!"

As the Thirteenth Prince spoke, he knelt down in front of the Queen, his back as straight as a pine tree, his young face full of determination.

Just like the rising sun, it exudes a breath of perseverance.

The Queen looked at the Thirteenth Prince and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

It has to be said that among the several princes of Emperor Jingren, although the Thirteenth Prince is young, he is undoubtedly the most gentlemanly and proud one.

The Queen believed that she knew countless people, and she could still see the sincerity in the Thirteenth Prince's eyes at this moment.

This kind of filial piety softened the queen's heart.

Perhaps it is because the Thirteenth Prince is still young that he still has such a childish heart?

The queen felt a little regretful. The Thirteenth Prince was intelligent and obedient, while the Eighth Prince was impulsive and irritable. It was a pity that the Thirteenth Prince was not her child, otherwise she would not have to worry so much.

Finally, the queen agreed.

Firstly, he was persuaded by Concubine Yan and the Thirteenth Prince.

Secondly, it was because Emperor Jingren had some true feelings for these two people. If they were alive, perhaps in order to protect them, Emperor Jingren might immediately write an edict of succession.

But if these two died, and Emperor Jingren gave up and would rather die than write the edict, it would have some constraints on the Eighth Prince's future throne.

When Concubine Yan and her son saw that the Queen had agreed, they immediately kowtowed in gratitude.

The Queen did not let them get up, but said: "I never use useless people. Since I have temporarily kept you, please persuade the Emperor not to cause any more trouble, otherwise..."

After watching the Queen and others leave, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Concubine Yan looked at the unconscious Emperor Jingren anxiously, and her hand holding the Thirteenth Prince was shaking.

She had always acted very calm, but in fact only she knew how scared she was.

There was no movement outside at this time. If Emperor Jingren died, their umbrella of protection would completely disappear!

only……

"Your Majesty was fine, why did he faint?"

When the Thirteenth Prince heard Concubine Yan's words, he held Concubine Yan's hand with his small hand and whispered to comfort her:

"Mother, don't worry. We have the final say on when Father wakes up. We have to wait until Prince Zhan and Princess return, and then everything will be settled..."

When Concubine Yan heard what the Thirteenth Prince said, her heart skipped a beat. She said nervously and horrified, "You...what did you just do?"

The Thirteenth Prince did not explain, as there were so many people around and it would be difficult for anyone with ulterior motives to hear him.

Although he is young, he is not stupid.

Under the current circumstances, if he wants to save his own life and that of his mother, he must not let his father write the edict of succession!

That edict was equivalent to a death warrant for them and their son!

As for his father's timely coma, it was all thanks to the acupuncture skills he had learned from Princess Zhan in Prince Zhan's mansion, which finally came in handy.

But this was all he could do, hoping... to buy some time for King Zhan and Princess Zhan.

After the Eighth Prince and the Queen left the bedroom, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but said to the Queen:

"Mother, are you just going to leave those two worthless lives like this? Aren't you being too soft-hearted?"

When the Queen heard the Eighth Prince's question, she took a deep breath and looked at the Eighth Prince and said:

"My son, since you are going to be an emperor, you should have a long-term vision instead of worrying about the gains and losses in the present."

"Your grandfather will soon lead his army into the imperial city, and will then enthrone you as emperor. But if you want to sit on the throne securely, you must have His Majesty's decree of succession!"

"If possible, keeping your father alive until you truly take power is the best option. Do you understand?"

The queen also thought about whether she should let Emperor Jingren die perfectly when the army was approaching.

However, this is not perfect after all. If Emperor Jingren could be allowed to live and become the emperor, it would not only demonstrate the Eighth Prince's benevolence and filial piety, but also silence the gossips of the people.

After all, although only her confidants and Shen Qinglan and others knew about what was happening, there was no guarantee that no one else knew about it.

If this gets out, it won't be good for anyone.

The Eighth Prince frowned and wanted to get angry, but in the end he suppressed his dissatisfaction in his chest, just responded with a buzzing sound, and turned to leave.

The queen looked at the Eighth Prince's departing back and sighed. Although she could feel that the Eighth Prince seemed dissatisfied with her actions, he endured it in the end.

In this way, the queen felt content.

A person may not be smart, but he must be obedient.

As soon as the Eighth Prince returned to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, he went to find Lu Jinghuai.
