"...If the emperor dies, the prince will definitely ascend the throne." Xie Lin said: "Because of my kidnapping, the prince holds a grudge against us. The first thing he will do after ascending the throne is to find an opportunity to get rid of us.

"And his mother, in order to rest assured and eliminate future troubles, assisted him and killed the two of us. At that time, the whole world would be in their hands. They didn't even need any legitimate reason to get rid of you and me."

Xie Lin took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with coldness: "So, no matter what, I want to do everything I can to keep the emperor alive. He is our greatest support for survival, at least, now."

After he said this, Chu Heyi instantly felt the suffocating feeling of being on the verge of death.

It is urgent to cure the emperor and keep him alive.

Chu Heyi frowned: "But, from what I saw just now, the Queen seemed to not want the Emperor to get better at all."

"She really didn't want the emperor to get better, so after the emperor fell ill, the imperial physician might have received the message - not to try his best to treat the emperor."

Xie Lin said, "I am now the prime minister, and I am often summoned to the palace by the emperor. If the emperor gets better and learns my identity, the queen and the prince will lose their positions, and even their lives will be in danger. So if the emperor is sick, the queen will definitely be the first person who doesn't want the emperor to get better."

Chu Heyi continued his words: "So, even if Doctor Gan Sui is a miracle doctor, the Queen will find all kinds of reasons to prevent him from diagnosing the Emperor and treating his illness."

Xie Lin's face was as cold as ice.

Chu Heyi said: "But if we really let Doctor Gan Sui diagnose the emperor and treat him, can he really cure him? The emperor's condition looks very serious."

Xie Lin said, "You won't know until you try. Since the Queen doesn't allow it, we'll come here secretly. You go and hold the Queen back, and then quietly have someone send a message to me. I'll take the opportunity to bring Doctor Gan Sui to check the Emperor's pulse. I'm the Prime Minister now, so I have a better chance of entering the Emperor's bedroom."

Chu Heyi nodded heavily: "Okay, the Queen can't always stay by the Emperor's side."

The queen had been guarding the emperor's bedside for a very long time. She was extremely looking forward to the emperor's death, and there were even several times when she couldn't help but want to do it herself. But the emperor had a very strong vitality, and even though he was groaning in pain, he just wouldn't die.

Half of the medicine prepared by the imperial physician can still be drunk.

You can also drink half of the rice soup you feed him.

The queen waited for a whole day and night, just waiting for him to die, but she was so exhausted that the emperor just didn't die.

She asked someone to look after the emperor while she returned to her own bedroom to wash up, eat something, and take a nap before coming back.

Once the emperor passes away and the prince ascends the throne, she will have a lot of things to do.

As soon as the Queen returned to Fengwu Palace, Chu Heyi rushed over, but Nanny An stopped her.

Chu Heyi said, "The emperor is seriously ill, and the queen has lost her appetite. I have seen this, and I am afraid that the queen will be sick, so I have come to visit her. If possible, I hope I can comfort the queen a little so that she will not be too sad and tired."

Seeing that she was respectful and well-behaved and her reasons were legitimate, Nanny An let her in.

"The Queen is really tired. Please go in and pay your respects, then leave. Let the Queen rest for a while."

Chu Heyi said, "I have remembered Madam's instructions and will never disturb Her Majesty the Queen too much."

The queen was indeed exhausted. After washing and changing her clothes, she felt a severe headache and was leaning on the couch to rest. When she saw Chu Heyi coming, she glanced at her coldly.

"I have my own servants in the palace. Princess Cheng'an should leave the palace. It would be a good thing for me if you don't disturb my rest."

"Your Majesty, your face is pale, but you have a severe headache? I know how to massage the acupuncture points to relieve headaches. Please let me try."

The Queen was indeed in great pain. If this continued, she would have trouble eating, let alone sleeping.

Besides, this is Fengwu Palace, and she didn't believe Chu Heyi would dare to play any tricks, so she nodded.

Chu Heyi stepped forward, stood beside the queen, stretched out his hand and gently and accurately massaged the acupoints on her head. The queen's eyebrows relaxed a lot, which showed that it was working.

A faint fragrance emanated from Chu Heyi, which was very pleasant. The queen was very alert at first, but as she smelled the fragrance, she fell asleep unknowingly.

Although the Queen was in Fengwu Palace, she arranged many of her own people inside and outside the Emperor's bedroom. Xie Lin brought Gan Sui, who was disguised as a eunuch, to get close, but was unable to enter.

The other party said: "The Queen Mother has ordered that if Lord Xie wants to visit the Emperor, he can only go in alone. He cannot bring anyone else in, not even eunuchs."

Before Xie Lin could say anything, he felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned around and saw it was the Eighth Prince Dongfang Lan.

Dongfang Lan pointed to the distance, Xie Lin understood and followed him to the distance, and then they stopped in a place where there was no one.

"Thank you, sir. I want you to bring the miracle doctor from yesterday to treat my father. I don't want my father to pass away." Dongfang Lan said in a childish voice with red eyes.

Xie Lin looked at him steadily and did not respond immediately.

Dongfang Lan said: "I know that the Queen does not allow you to bring that miracle doctor in, I can help you."

Xie Lin then asked, "How does the Eighth Prince plan to help me?"

"I pretended to have a stomachache to draw their attention to myself, and Mr. Xie sneaked in with someone."

Xie Lin took a pill from Gan Sui beside him and said, "Eighth Prince, do you dare to take this pill to make your performance more realistic?"

Dongfang Lan's pupils shrank slightly and his face turned pale, but he pursed his lips and suppressed the fear in his heart. He took the pill, put it directly into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much..." Dongfang Lan suddenly rolled to the ground, holding his stomach and rolling over, with sweat on his face.

The guards, eunuchs, and palace maids standing guard outside the emperor's bedroom were all terrified by this scene.

Xie Lin shouted coldly: "Why don't you call the imperial physician quickly! Please ask Concubine Zhen to come and take a look!"

Many, many people surrounded Dongfang Lan, and the scene was in chaos. Xie Lin quietly stepped back and gave Gan Sui a wink, and Gan Sui entered the emperor's bedroom first.

There were still people guarding inside, including some of the Queen's men. Xie Lin followed Gan Sui and slipped in. He took out his sword and put it on the necks of the two men who rushed forward. "I will bring the genius doctor to diagnose the Emperor and treat him. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be executed on the spot!"

The door of the bedroom was closed. The long sword in Xie Lin's hand was shining coldly, and it had already pierced several people, causing them to bleed. For a moment, no one dared to move.

The bedroom was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Gan Sui quickly stepped forward, took the emperor's pulse and examined him. After the examination, Gan Sui's face looked solemn.

Xie Lin asked: "How?"

"The situation is serious, but not completely hopeless. It will take at least an hour." Gan Sui said as he took out the silver needles and medicine.

One hour! This time was too long. Xie Lin pursed his lips and confronted the seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, two of whom were the queen's people...

I hope Dongfang Lan can delay the time a little longer.

For the rest, just boil it down.

An hour later, the chaotic sounds outside the palace ended. Xie Lin still held the sword in his hand, pointing it at the Queen's men. Gan Sui was still busy and there was no sign of it ending.

But outside, Chu Heyi's voice came: "The Queen has arrived——"
