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

Emperor Jingren looked at the Queen coldly, his eyes full of disappointment and hatred. He slapped the back of the Dragon Throne and said angrily:

"Yes! I didn't die. Are you disappointed? Queen! If it weren't for Thirteen's wisdom, I would have really died in your hands!"

At this moment, Emperor Jingren was extremely grateful and had a feeling of surviving a calamity!

He looked at the Thirteenth Prince who was standing below, being led by Concubine Yan, with a gentle look in his eyes.

That day, the Thirteenth Prince saw through the Queen's intention. The Thirteenth Prince knew that if Emperor Jingren really wrote the edict, neither Emperor Jingren nor he and Concubine Yan would have any chance of survival.

So, in desperation, he simply used the silver needle acupuncture method taught by Shen Qinglan to pierce Emperor Jingren and made him unconscious.

According to the Queen's plan, she still hoped to get the decree of succession from Emperor Jingren. Therefore, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, the Queen would wait until Emperor Jingren woke up and write the decree.

And this is also the hope of survival for the Thirteenth Prince and Concubine Yan!

Until just now, the Thirteenth Prince heard that Lord Wang and his companions had returned, and he immediately sealed the acupuncture points of Emperor Jingren, making Emperor Jingren look dead.

Sure enough, the Queen's people came to look for Emperor Jingren. They originally wanted to kill him once and for all, but they found that Emperor Jingren was really dead. They felt relieved and went to report it.

What a twist!

The ministers felt that everything they saw was like a dream!

"Zhou Wang of the Zhenbei Army has been dealt with. If you want to rebel with your cavalry, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Emperor Jingren looked at the Queen with cold eyes, without a trace of warmth in them.

His queen is deep-minded, cruel, and full of schemes! She must not be kept!

But the queen laughed bitterly, looked at Emperor Jingren, and then at Shen Qinglan.

It's a complete loss!

She planned so much, but it was all in vain!

What a pity, what a pity...

The queen looked at the eighth prince, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. She finally sighed, knelt on the ground, and took off the hairpin on the phoenix crown.

The long hair spread out behind her. The queen then raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jingren and said:

"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I was blinded by power, which is why I behaved like this. I beg Your Majesty..." to spare the Eighth Prince.

Before she could finish her words, the queen suddenly groaned and looked at her lower abdomen in surprise.

I saw a dagger stuck there, and blood was flowing out from the dagger, dripping onto the ground.

Her eyes followed the hand holding the dagger, and what she saw was the hideous face of the Eighth Prince.

A face that was obviously familiar, yet extremely unfamiliar to the queen.

The corners of the Eighth Prince's eyes were red. He knew that the Zhenbei Army could not get in! And these people of theirs could not possibly compete with Huo Zhanting!

They failed!

but……

"Mother, I'm sorry, I don't want to die!" The Eighth Prince said slowly to the Queen, and then said loudly:

"Father! I was deceived by my mother. I knew nothing. Now I have killed my mother with my own hands. I have made up for my mistake!"

The Eighth Prince's words made everyone frown and look at him with some disgust.

If the Eighth Prince could confess his guilt, they would still look up to him, but... what was this? Abandoning his mother to save his life?

"Empress!" Yun Lanxin screamed, rushed over to hug the Queen, covered the wound on her abdomen with her hands, and cried very sadly!

But the queen smiled.

She looked at the panicked look of the Eighth Prince and could not help but say:

"Zhixing...Mother is waiting for you downstairs..."

She originally wanted to save the Eighth Prince's life and take the blame on herself, but unfortunately... her son was too stupid. Did he think that if he killed himself, Emperor Jingren would let him go? It was ridiculous.

The queen slowly fell to the ground, her vision gradually becoming blurred.

She still remembered how cute the eighth prince was when he was young, so tiny, stumbling towards her, and calling her mother softly.

From then on, she wanted to give him the best things in the world.

It's a pity...it's a pity...

She has a loving mother's heart, but he has no filial piety.

The queen's gaze finally fixed on Shen Qinglan, her lips moved slightly, and finally, she died.

Shen Qinglan understood what the Queen said silently to her: "You win."

She sighed.

She doesn't care whether she wins or not.

The queen could have lived peacefully.

Even if the Eighth Prince had not ascended the throne, she, as the Queen, would still have become the honorable Queen Mother.

Unfortunately, one wrong step leads to all wrong.

When the Wang family saw this scene, they finally came to their senses and wanted to draw their swords to fight back and fight their way out.

Unfortunately, Huo Zhanting was the first to rush forward, and together with the guards, he captured all the members of the Wang family.

The Eighth Prince did not dare to move. He just knelt aside and begged Emperor Jingren to let him go.

Emperor Jingren glanced at the Eighth Prince with disgust in his eyes, and said directly:

"Eighth Prince Ye Zhixing, as a prince, attempted treason and committed rebellion. His crimes are extremely serious and he shall be demoted to a commoner and executed in seven days."

"Father!"

The eighth prince shouted in fear, but his voice was quickly blocked by the guards, who stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth and took him aside.

Emperor Jingren did not even look at the Eighth Prince, but only fixed his gaze on the Thirteenth Prince. After coughing violently a few times, he said in a gentle voice:

"The Thirteenth Prince Ye Zhiheng is kind, honest, intelligent, and well-equipped. He is suitable to inherit the throne. He is now appointed as the Crown Prince and takes the throne of the East Palace to strengthen the rule of ten thousand years and to satisfy the hearts of the people."

When everyone heard this, although they didn't know why Emperor Jingren suddenly appointed the Thirteenth Prince as the Crown Prince at this time, they immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to receive the order.

Emperor Jingren was not in good health.

Even though the queen had no intention of poisoning him at the last moment, his body was still injured.

So at this time, after Emperor Jingren issued these decrees, he no longer had the energy to support anything else. He just looked at Huo Zhanting and said softly:

"The rest of the matters will be left to the War King to handle."

After saying this, Emperor Jingren left again with the help of others.

Everything is settled.

Shen Qinglan had been traveling for such a long time that he could no longer hold on and passed out.

Fortunately, Huo Zhanting was by her side and hugged Shen Qinglan in time.

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan's face which had clearly become smaller and felt very distressed.

Without asking, he knew that Shen Qinglan was probably having a hard time these days!

Huo Zhanting did not hesitate at that moment. He carried Shen Qinglan and walked out of the palace in a swagger.

Before leaving, Concubine Yan took the Thirteenth Prince to stop Huo Zhanting and said with an apologetic look:

"I'm sorry, Lord Zhan. At first, the Thirteenth Prince was captured by the Queen and used as a threat, so I..."

Huo Zhanting shook his head and said, "It's okay, I understand."

The same principle applies just as the Eighth Prince's wife would bite back at the Eighth Prince and his men at the critical moment.

I'm afraid Shen Qinglan also had the Eighth Prince's wife's son kidnapped as a threat?

All women in the world are like this; children are their weak spot.

After Huo Zhanting sent Shen Qinglan back home, he didn't stop and went to work non-stop!

Now that he had received the imperial edict, Huo Zhanting knew that he had to root out all the rebels who had connections with the Queen and the Wang family.

He hoped that when Shen Qinglan woke up, the capital would have returned to its former tranquility.

On this day, the entire capital seemed to have been washed in blood, but dawn had also arrived...
