In just one month, the crown prince Huaiyuan was deposed twice.

When the queen mother learned of this, her already serious illness became worse, and she died immediately.

When the eunuch of Shoukang Palace hurried to Heyang Palace, he was told that the emperor was in Xinwu Palace.

The rain in Zhongqin was brought by the lightning that struck Huaiqi to death, and it didn't stop for several days.

The patter of rain made the Qin Palace in the middle of the night cold and freezing, but only one palace was as warm as a spring day.

The earth dragon in Xinwu Palace burns the most precious charcoal, and sometimes there is a crackling sound of charcoal burning.

There were several palace servants and imperial physicians waiting by the bed, but they couldn't help much, they just watched the emperor take care of the queen himself.

Ming Feiqing had to drink the medicine three times a day, and when he fell asleep, it was always difficult to swallow the medicine juice smoothly, so he often fed three spoonfuls and spit out two and a half spoonfuls.

Huaijin put the medicine in his mouth and fed it slowly. After feeding a bowl of medicine, he gently wiped the corner of Ming Feiqing's mouth with his thumb wearing a jade wrench, wiping away the overflowing medicine juice.

Every movement he took to take care of Ming Feiqing was so gentle that it was hard to believe that these hands had once killed his father and brother.

Xichun took the empty medicine bowl with both hands.

"The fever finally subsided today, but there is no sign of waking up." Huai Jin tucked the quilt up for Ming Feiqing, and looked at Qin Ran, "It's been six days, when will Fei Qing escape?"

"If the empress can't wake up for a long time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." Qin Ran bit the bullet and said, "I'm afraid I will sleep like this for the rest of my life."

As soon as these words fell, the hall became eerily quiet, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Qin Ran didn't dare to raise his head, he could feel that the emperor's gaze was only cutting him into pieces.

In the past two days, even the imperial physician from Nangong was invited to use up the most precious and rare medicine in the world, but they could not save Ming Feiqing's consciousness.

The queen will not die, but he may spend the rest of his life in a coma-this is more painful than death.

Qin Ran blamed himself for not being able to control Ming Feiqing, resigned to his fate and waited for the emperor to get angry and punish his nine clans, but first he waited for an untimely young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, please refer to Your Majesty." The eunuch knelt tremblingly in front of Huai Jin, and his voice trembled as he seemed to be frightened by Huai Jin's expression, "The Empress... Prince..." The eunuch paused, then changed his words, "Let the little prince see you one last time."

Huaijin's face sank like water.

The Empress Dowager indirectly put Ming Feiqing's life on the line, so is she worthy of dying in peace?

·

The Shoukang Palace was in a state of depression.

There are only five or six lazy palace people guarding the palace, and no one cleans the dead leaves that have been knocked down by the rain in the yard.

At the beginning, the configuration of Shoukang Palace was still simple and simple as when Huaijin was in power. Later, people in the palace discovered that the Empress Dowager Ming was very forgiving and kind, and respected her a lot. Shiyi, these people took advantage of the wind to curry favor with the Queen Mother.

After going back and forth, the food and clothing expenses of Shoukang Palace are almost at the same level as Xinwu Palace. Occasionally, if there are some rare and good things to pay tribute to, the Empress Dowager dares to express Ming Feiqing's filial piety and give her the good things.

Ming Feiqing didn't care much about these external things, so he never refused.

These good things were turned around in the hands of the Queen Mother, and immediately entered the warehouse of the Eastern Palace.

In the past three years, the queen mother has saved at least one small gold mountain for Huaiyuan, her grandson.

In the past, when Huai Jin was oppressing her, she restrained her edge and did not dare to make mistakes. Once Huai Jin "died", she would inevitably reveal her ambition.

Now that Huaijin came back alive, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor hated the queen mother, and immediately removed all the good things from Shoukang Palace, even the flowers withered, for fear of offending the emperor.

The only old doctor in the hall saw His Majesty coming, and immediately knelt down to salute him.

Huai Ziyu looked at the dying queen mother beside the sick bed, and said coldly: "Everyone is going to die, so don't bother the doctor."

The old doctor heard the meaning of the words and ran away.

The Empress Dowager looked like she was dying, and the only desire in her cloudy eyes was Huaiyuan.

"You let me...look at Huaiyuan...it's my grandmother begging you..."

Standing beside her bed, Huai Jin said in a cold voice: "Hui Yuan has already been expelled from the palace, Huazhou is far away, even if he is rushed back now, the imperial grandmother will not be able to wait."

Huazhou is close to the western border, thousands of miles away from the capital.

The queen mother raised her upper body angrily, and asked weakly: "He is only five years old! How could you let him go to such a remote place!"

Huai Ziyu sneered: "When my father threw me to Tuzhou, I was just a child. The emperor's grandmother never pitied me back then, so naturally there is no need to pretend to pity Huaiyuan now."

The queen mother was very sad: "I knew it, you can't really treat Yuan'er well!"

"I'm not sincere, so what about Ming Feiqing? How did he treat Huaiyuan? You've seen it all these three years, how did you repay him? If it wasn't for Ming Feiqing, Huaiyuan would have died outside the palace long ago. It's all right if you don't want to repay, how dare you plot against him for the sake of the throne? Grandmother, he respects you because of his past kindness, so you can make further progress unscrupulously?!"

Queen Mother: "..." She was speechless.

"I adopted Huai Yuan under my knees just because I was worried about the unforeseen circumstances. If I were gone, Ming Feiqing would be alone and helpless. Only a so-called 'prince' could hold Xiqin down, keep Feiqing's position, and let him He supervises the country justifiably, and Huaiyuan is just a shield used to protect Ming Feiqing. Even though there are many utilitarian purposes hidden in the will of the crown prince, grandma, you have forgotten."

Huaijin looked down at her, "I will only have Ming Feiqing as a queen in this life, so it is impossible to have a real blood. Even if Huaiyuan has mediocre aptitude, he can be liked by Feiqing. No one can scramble to shake it, it is your self-righteousness and greed that ruined everything in Huaiyuan."

The queen mother opened her eyes wide, as if waking up from a dream.

"When Huai Yuan grows up, he will understand that his stable and prosperous life was ruined by the hands of the emperor's grandmother." Huai Jin leaned close to the empress dowager's old face, killing her heart: "He will definitely hate you to death. "

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale, as if she had seen Huai Yuan who hated him, her cloudy eyes overflowed with tears, but she didn't have a chance to blink.

Huai Ziyu watched her die with cold eyes - he was also indifferent and calm when he strangled his father to death.

Inside the East Palace.

Huai Yuan's swollen eyes from crying have not subsided yet, he is packing his luggage and preparing to move to the palace outside the palace.

Although he was abolished as the crown prince, he is still a prince with a title.He could no longer live in the East Palace, so Huaijin gave him a palace, right at the foot of Qin Palace.

He immersed himself in sorting out the books that Ming Feiqing gave him, and wanted to keep every book with him.

At first he thought that he would be exiled to a remote place in disguise, but his father did not order him to be expelled from Beijing.

At this time, the guards around him suddenly reminded him: "Your Majesty is here."

Huai Yuan turned around and saw his father approaching by himself, Huai Yuan didn't dare to cry, and obediently performed the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

He knew he was wrong, so he would touch the ground with his head when saluting.

A hand was stretched out in front of his eyes, Huai Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up, his father was bending slightly, reaching out to support him.

Huai Yuan was flattered, put his little hand into the palm of his father, and stood up.

Huai Jin asked him: "I expelled you out of the palace, do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Huai Yuan shook his head vigorously, and said sincerely: "If you make a mistake, you should be punished, and I will not complain."

"Your fault has been taken care of for you." Huai Jin rubbed his head, messing up his hair: "Fei Qing regards you as his own flesh and blood, and he won't be happy if I severely punish you Yes. I will give you a chance to correct your mistakes, cultivate your character well in Beijing, study humbly, and stop being instigated and manipulated by others. If you can make some achievements before, this East Palace will still be yours."

Huaiyuan seemed to be pardoned, and his nose was sore again, but he really didn't dare to cry in front of his father, so his voice was choked up, and he promised childishly: "I understand that I want to fight Beiyou and give it to my father." Make it a birthday present."

Huaijin was amused when the childish child seriously stated such ambitions: "Okay, I'm waiting for this day."

This was the first time his father smiled at him, Huai Yuan boldly walked over and hugged Huai Jin: "Father... When the father recovers from illness, can the son come to the palace to see the father often?"

Huai Ziyu said: "Yes, your empress father's illness will definitely recover."

Huai Yuan smiled with red eyes, compared to being a prince, having someone love him is the happiest thing.

He continued to pack every item that his father gave him, including enlightenment books and childhood toys, and he kept them very well.

Tian Bai asked puzzledly: "Didn't Your Majesty just say that His Highness was going to be sent to Huazhou?"

Huai Ziyu asked back: "How many days can such a small child live if he is sent to a border town?"

Without Ming Feiqing, Huaijin would have died on the official road in the border town long ago.

Huai Ziyu will never forget the feeling of being abandoned by his father and exiled to the border town at a young age, because he knows the pain, and he doesn't want to impose it on others.

He looked at Huai Yuan's cheerful figure, and said quietly: "The words just now were only used to anger the Queen Mother, sometimes you don't need to use a knife to kill someone."
