Gan Sui was about to step forward to take the emperor's pulse, and before he could even touch the corner of the emperor's clothes, the guards outside rushed in and grabbed him down in one fell swoop.

The originally mournful atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense.

Seeing that Gan Sui was about to be dragged out, Xie Lin immediately spoke up to stop him: "Hold on, Queen, Doctor Gan Sui was invited by me. He is known as a miracle doctor, and countless seriously ill people have recovered after being cured by him.

"Let's not talk about other people for now, let's just talk about General Chu in the past. Even the imperial physician said that he would never be able to stand up again in his lifetime, but in the end General Chu still stood up. It was Doctor Gansui who cured him!"

Gan Sui and Chu Heyi subconsciously looked at Xie Lin, and shock and surprise flashed across their eyes.

They never expected that Xie Lin would lie at this time and even dared to say that Chu Yi's legs were cured by Gan Sui.

Until now, Gan Sui still doesn't know what Chu's carriage looks like.

However, both of them reacted extremely quickly. At this moment, the imperial physician was helpless, and the empress did not allow anyone else to feel the emperor's pulse. Xie Lin could only lie like this to give Gan Sui a chance to feel the emperor's pulse and check his condition.

As expected, the queen looked towards Gan Sui, but her inquiring eyes were extremely cold. Coupled with the pressure brought by her many years of high position, the atmosphere in the entire bedroom seemed to be stagnant.

Xie Lin said, "Your Majesty, it's okay for you to ask Doctor Gan Sui to give it a try. It won't make the emperor's condition any worse than it is now."

Queen: "The emperor's health has always been taken care of by the palace doctors. It's ridiculous that a wandering doctor dares to call himself a miracle doctor! Lord Xie relied on General Chu's presence in Changqing City. I can't confront him, so he pulled General Chu out and said that his legs were cured by an incompetent wandering doctor.

"Master Xie is now in a high position and has great power. I don't have the ability to control Master Xie's behavior. What is his intention? But as long as I am here, I will never allow any of you to do anything reckless!"

Then he turned to Yin Shao and said, "Sir Yin, why don't you throw this man out? Are you leaving him here to harm the emperor? If I see any incompetent itinerant doctor from outside the palace again, I will kill him without mercy!"

Her voice was angry and cold, as if it carried ice and swords. Yin Shao did not dare to delay any longer and took Gan Sui away.

Suddenly, the emperor groaned with difficulty and stretched out his hand to grab something. The queen quickly walked over, sat beside the bed and held his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you? I will call the imperial physician in to see you. Imperial physician, imperial physician, come quickly!"

The emperor opened his eyes and stretched out his hands, looking very anxious. He kept making sounds but could not speak. His neck was stretched very long and sweat wet his hair.

Prince Cheng and his wife, Concubine Zhen and the Eighth Prince also went over immediately and looked at the Emperor.

The emperor's gaze swept across their faces, and suddenly, he uttered a deep "uh...", then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The incident happened in just a moment. The imperial physician rushed over as quickly as possible, but when he arrived, he only saw the emperor fainted.

However, the imperial physician still treated the emperor.

Finally, the attending imperial physician shook his head and said, "The emperor is already terminally ill and may not have much time left."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen and her son burst into tears, especially the Eighth Prince, who tugged at the doctor's robe with his little hands, "Doctor, you must save my father, you must save my father!"

His childish voice was so sad that Concubine Zhen burst into tears.

Xie Lin and Chu Heyi were still kneeling in the hall, taking in everything that happened without saying a word.

They were in deep thought.

Runxue, who had followed King Cheng to take care of him, was observing them secretly, and observing the subtle atmosphere between them and the Queen.

She noticed that the Queen had a cold hatred towards Xie Lin and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, this was not the first time she had noticed this. She had noticed it before, but she thought that it was because Xie Lin had offended the Queen and the Crown Prince that the Queen hated him so much.

But now, she doesn't think so.

The person she arranged to go out passed her the news, saying that when Concubine Xie was sentenced to death, Xie Lin went to the cold palace to see her off. There, Xie Lin asked Concubine Xie about her true identity, and Concubine Xie's answer was very intriguing.

She had always wondered why Xie Lin looked similar to the prince, and it turned out that this was the reason.

Although she suffered heavy losses during this trip to Qingyang City, she also gained something. She met an old lady in Qingyang City by chance. This old lady had been a palace maid when she was young.

The old lady told her, "It is considered a bad omen for a concubine to give birth to twins. There may be a risk of succession in the future, which will shake the country. Several decades ago, there was a favored concubine who gave birth to two sons in one pregnancy. Both of them were drowned. The concubine fell into madness after losing her children. She fell out of favor one day and finally died tragically in the palace."

So that’s it!

Runxue immediately concluded that Xie Lin was the Queen's biological child, and that he and the Crown Prince were twins.

Before the queen gave birth to a child, there was an older prince who died young.

As long as the queen sent one of the twins out of the palace, she would give birth to a single baby, who would be the eldest prince and the legitimate son, so it was a foregone conclusion that he would be named the crown prince.

In this way, the Queen was somewhat soft-hearted when she did not kill Xie Lin but sent him out of the palace.

However, Xie Lin has been very talented in recent years. He has entered the center of power and the sight of court officials and the emperor on his own, which makes the queen panic. She is afraid that the truth will be revealed, so she wants to kill Xie Lin.

This is the cause and effect.

Runxue stared at the Queen and then at Xie Lin. She was thinking that if Xie Lin had not been sent out of the palace, there would have been no possibility for Dongfang Ye to be crowned the Crown Prince.

As the third prince, Dongfang Shuo was the direct candidate for crown prince.

It turned out that it was Dongfang Ye who stole Dongfang Shuo's position as crown prince, causing them to have to plan for so many years.

Let's see how she catches this family of three in one fell swoop.

No, there is also Chu Heyi. Chu Heyi is now Xie Lin's fiancée. If anything happens to Xie Lin, Chu Heyi will definitely not sit idly by. She will have to wait until Chu Heyi marries into the Xie family before taking any action.

After Chu Heyi and Xie Lin became one, if Xie Lin was convicted, Chu Heyi would not be able to escape. That would be a real catching-all.

However, why did the emperor become seriously ill at this critical moment? Runxue frowned tightly, sincerely hoping that the emperor could survive this time.

It's not hope, but the emperor must survive this time.

Otherwise the prince would ascend the throne as emperor.

Yes, if the emperor passed away, the prince would directly ascend the throne as emperor - Xie Lin also thought of this.

Everyone was still guarding the emperor, some crying, some shouting, some seeking treatment, while Xie Lin took Chu Heyi and quietly left the emperor's bedroom.

The two of them were guarding outside the emperor's bedroom. Chu Heyi looked at Xie Lin several times and found that his face looked very ugly. He was very silent, as if he was swallowed up by invisible darkness.
