The eunuchs and palace maids who had been held hostage by Xie Lin obediently looked at Xie Lin almost at the same time, and the atmosphere in the palace changed instantly.

The two palace maids and eunuchs were waiting for the queen to come in and capture Xie Lin in one fell swoop. Although he was the prime minister, his behavior today was too bold.

The emperor was so seriously ill that all the people in the Imperial Hospital were helpless. How could a mere traveling doctor cure the emperor?

They didn't believe that the emperor could wake up and make the decision for Xie Lin!

But Xie Lin never moved.

His back was straight, sword in hand, he did not move at all, his whole body was like a green pine in the mountains, no matter how cold the wind blew, he did not show any sign of bending.

But, his eyes swept over Gan Sui, and he saw that Gan Sui was fighting for every moment. He saw that Gan Sui's movements were a little flustered, and Gan Sui himself seemed to realize it. He suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and opened them after a moment, and his movements became hurried but orderly.

Xie Lin also saw that in this short moment, Gan Sui's hair at the temples was soaked with sweat.

Xie Lin stood straighter. He heard footsteps coming from outside. It was the Queen coming with a large group of people.

He could almost imagine that as soon as the door of the bedroom was opened, the queen would accuse him of murdering the emperor - even if the truth was not so.

However, things have come to this point. If the emperor dies, he and Chu Heyi will also not be able to escape death. If they are lucky enough to escape from Shengjing City, they will surely be on the run.

In this case, we can only keep persevering.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Lin's thoughts were in turmoil. It didn't matter if he had to flee to the ends of the earth, but how could he let Chu Heyi suffer with him?

A determined light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. He forced the eunuchs and palace maids under his sword to retreat step by step towards the emperor's dragon bed.

If the queen came in and Gan Sui had not yet woken up the emperor, he would directly hold the emperor hostage and force the queen to stop, so as to buy time for Gan Sui to continue to save the emperor!

His thoughts settled, and the pressure from Xie Lin became even stronger. The eunuchs and palace maids under his sword could only be forced to retreat step by step, not daring to resist or even make a sound, and their breathing was even more cautious than before.

Outside the bedroom, the Queen's footsteps came amidst a sea of ​​steady and orderly footsteps, sounding anxious and angry, so real, and the pressure was so overwhelming, as if it were ringing in Xie Lin's ears.

He was already prepared when the door to the bedroom was pushed open...

Outside the bedroom.

Chu Heyi followed the queen quickly. Along the way, she tried several times to stop the queen. It worked at first, but as the number of times increased, the queen began to doubt.

As a result, the Queen quickened her pace towards the Emperor's bedroom.

Her singing and shouting just now was to remind Xie Lin that the Queen had arrived, and she didn't know what the situation was inside now.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." The guards, eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground outside the bedroom door.

The queen ignored them and walked straight to the emperor's bedroom.

Closer, closer, closer.

Finally, standing at the door of the bedroom, the queen ordered: "Come, open the door!"

When a eunuch was about to open the door, Chu Heyi immediately said, "Empress, please let me come. The emperor is resting. Don't disturb him."

The queen's eyes were cold and she shouted angrily: "Get out of the way!"

Chu Heyi stood in front of the door without moving. The queen winked at the guards beside her, and the guards immediately moved forward to take Chu Heyi down. Only then did Chu Heyi slightly move aside.

She stood by the door with her eyes downcast, thinking to herself, if the situation inside was very bad and a fight was necessary, then she would stand on the side with Xie Lin and fight.

Anyway, if the emperor died now and the prince ascended the throne, they would definitely find ways to kill her and Xie Lin.

There is no other way to go.

The eunuch beside the queen stepped forward again and tried to open the door.

"Empress——" A sad voice suddenly came from the side, and a beautiful woman in a pink dress knelt down in front of the Queen, grabbing the hem of her skirt.

"Empress, please save my child. He is seriously ill. Please save him..."

It turned out that it was Concubine Zhen who ran over. Her eighth prince suddenly had a stomachache at the door of the emperor's bedroom. The eunuchs and palace maids immediately asked the imperial physician to see him, but to no avail, they sent the prince back to his bedroom, and he has not recovered since then.

Concubine Zhen cried in panic and ran to the Queen to find a way to save her life.

The queen looked at the gate that was right in front of her. All signs told her that Xie Lin must be inside with people to heal the emperor. She had to hurry to stop him, otherwise what would happen if the emperor was cured by Xie Lin?

However, with the gate right in front of her, she was stopped time and time again. Now even Concubine Zhen used the Eighth Prince to stop her.

The queen was furious, but she had to endure it again and again. She took a deep breath and said, "Since the Eighth Prince is ill, just ask the imperial physician to see him. I can't treat illnesses, so get out of my way!"

"The imperial physician has examined him, but he is helpless..." Concubine Zhen cried bitterly: "Please ask the Queen to go see him and think of a way to help him? I can't lose my child..."

The queen took a deep breath, then another deep breath, and winked at the maids beside her, asking them to pull up Concubine Zhen.

Then he said, "The Eighth Prince is ill, and I am also worried and distressed, but if I go there, I will just ask the imperial physician to treat him. I have no other solution.

"If you are anxious, then go and worship heaven and earth and pray to God to bless the Eighth Prince to get better. Now, I want to go visit the emperor. If you stop me again, and something happens to the emperor, will you pay with your life?"

The Queen spoke harshly, and Concubine Zhen turned pale, with tears still on her beautiful face, but she did not dare to stop the Queen.

The queen walked to the door of the bedroom. Standing in front of her was a cold, heavy wooden door, silently blocking her steps. She raised her hand and wanted to push it open herself, but she gave up, stepped aside two steps, and asked the eunuch to go forward and push the door.

But he found that the door was bolted from the inside.

The queen's face turned cold, her eyes were fierce: "Break the door open!"

The guards and others all came forward and knocked on the door. For a moment, the door of the emperor's bedroom was banged so loudly that it seemed as if the mountains were shaking and the earth was trembling.

The queen stared at the door intently and asked the guards behind her to be ready. As soon as the door opened, she ordered Xie Lin to be arrested. She had already thought of the charges!

…All the obstacles in her life will be completely cleared away right now, right before her eyes!

boom!

With a loud bang, the door was pushed open. The queen immediately led her people in and saw Xie Lin holding a sword and escorting her people. The emperor was still receiving treatment from Gan Sui and had not yet woken up.

The queen sneered, "Prime Minister Xie Lin took advantage of the emperor's critical illness to try to kill the emperor and usurp the throne. Come, arrest Xie Lin and execute him on the spot!"
