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

Emperor Jingren looked at Concubine Yan, whose eyes were full of worry and heartache, and he felt relieved.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yan took Emperor Jingren's arm and said with tears in her eyes:

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me and Thirteen. Nothing is more important than you!"

After a pause, Concubine Yan leaned close to Emperor Jingren's ear and whispered:

"Your Majesty, you must not take what the Queen said seriously. This edict of succession is your only bargaining chip now. If you give it to her, the Queen will probably take your life immediately!"

Emperor Jingren's eyes flickered slightly and he began to hesitate.

The queen he knew before was always someone who kept her word, but...

He used to think that the queen was dignified and virtuous, but now he saw that she was also fake.

Therefore, what Concubine Yan said really had to be guarded against...

When Concubine Yan saw the change in Emperor Jingren's expression, she immediately gave him another dose and said:

"The War King is fighting outside now, and the Xinyi army cannot come in for a while. Therefore, as long as Your Majesty can delay time, you may not be unable to get reinforcements. After all... the War King is loyal, isn't he?"

Emperor Jingren was persuaded by Concubine Yan.

He actually knew Huo Zhanting's loyalty.

Over the years, Emperor Jingren has never been willing to take action against Huo Zhanting, not only because he saw his military talent, but more importantly because of Huo Zhanting's loyalty.

However, Huo Zhanting's loyalty is to Dayong and the people of Dayong, not just to himself.

Emperor Jingren had been on the throne for so long that whenever someone appeared who might pose a threat to him, he could not help but feel wary and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Emperor Jingren closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, but ultimately did not agree to the Queen's request.

The queen's face turned a little colder. She looked at Concubine Yan, sneered, and clapped her hands.

Suddenly, a person was brought in.

The man was thrown in front of Emperor Jingren by the guards. Emperor Jingren took a closer look and realized that this man was not the Fourth Prince, so who else could he be?

The Fourth Prince was in a miserable state at this time, with disheveled hair and blood all over his body, but it did not look like the blood was his.

The Fourth Prince raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Jingren, hope gleaming in his eyes.

"Father! Father, please save me!"

The Fourth Prince wanted to rush forward and hug Emperor Jingren to beg him, but before he could touch Emperor Jingren, he was kicked back to his original position by the guards brought by the Queen.

The fourth prince rolled over on the ground in pain, staring at the queen with a ferocious look on his face and said:

"You vicious woman! You actually lied to me! All this was planned by you!"

The Fourth Prince was furious.

It was the Queen who had deliberately let him go, and even kindly pointed out a way out for him, which was to go to Xinyi.

According to the Queen, the Eighth Prince is stupid and incapable of accomplishing anything, so she needs to make more preparations.

Although he had some doubts, the queen really did let him go and sent people to protect him and escort him to Xinyi.

The Fourth Prince arrived in Xinyi and successfully persuaded the Khan of Xinyi to send troops. Immediately after that, he killed the people sent by the Queen!

Logically speaking, the queen shouldn’t know anything that happened afterwards!

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he came out of the tunnel, he fell into the Queen's trap!

All the people he brought were killed by the Queen!

And he was also captured alive by the Queen!

If at this point, the Fourth Prince still doesn't know the Queen's plan, then he would have lived in vain all these years.

The Fourth Prince wanted to pounce on the Queen and bite off her neck, but he was held down by the guards and could not move.

The Queen glanced at the Fourth Prince expressionlessly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and then she looked at Emperor Jingren and said:

"Your Majesty, have you not considered it carefully? If Your Majesty has not considered it carefully, then perhaps things will turn out to be..."

"The Fourth Prince led the enemy army to sneak into the palace through a secret passage, intending to force the emperor to abdicate. Your Majesty would rather die than do so, so he was brutally murdered by the Fourth Prince. He even spared the young Thirteenth Prince."

"Then, our Eighth Prince showed up in time and killed the Fourth Prince, avenging Your Majesty and the Thirteenth Prince. So...what does Your Majesty think?"

This is a threat!

A naked threat!

The Queen was too lazy to discuss this with the Emperor.

Now that the Fourth Prince is in hand, he will definitely take the blame!

No, it cannot be considered that he is taking the blame. It was just that the Fourth Prince made one wrong move!

Emperor Jingren was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, and the Fourth Prince glared at the Queen.

The Queen did not like the look in the Fourth Prince's eyes, so she simply waved her hand and said:

"My son, why don't you kill your fourth brother, the traitor who committed treason and murdered his father and brother?"

When the Eighth Prince heard this, his eyes lit up. He picked up his sword and walked up to the Fourth Prince, his eyes full of ruthlessness.

Without any hesitation, the Eighth Prince stabbed the Fourth Prince in the chest with a sword.

Blood immediately splashed onto the eighth prince's face.

The Eighth Prince was completely unaware, but there was a hint of morbid madness in his eyes. He grinned at the Fourth Prince and said:

"You, the son of a lowly maid, dare to challenge me?"

It seemed that the Eighth Prince already regarded himself as the Crown Prince.

The Fourth Prince stared with his eyes wide open, looking at the ferocious appearance of the Eighth Prince. Blood dripped from his mouth. He slowly fell to the ground. His body twitched slightly twice before he died.

Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

Although Emperor Jingren hated the Fourth Prince's stupidity, he still felt a little chilled when he saw the Eighth Prince kill the Fourth Prince without blinking an eye.

However, Concubine Yan hugged the Thirteenth Prince tightly at the right time, her eyes full of fear and dread.

The Thirteenth Prince was much calmer than Concubine Yan. He held Concubine Yan's cold hand and comforted her carefully, but his eyes were clear.

The Eighth Prince dropped the bloody sword on the ground, looked at Emperor Jingren, grinned and said:

"My son has cleared the court, killed the rebels, and executed the rebellious son for your father. Is your father satisfied?"

The Queen stood aside and looked down at Emperor Jingren, as if she was trying to force him to give up the throne immediately.

At this time, the Thirteenth Prince suddenly burst into tears, rushed to Emperor Jingren, hugged him and cried:

"Don't hurt my father! If you want to kill someone, just kill me! Wuuwuwu..."

The child's voice is clear and moving.

The coldness in Emperor Jingren's eyes gradually warmed up, and tears flashed in his old and dim eyes.

But before Emperor Jingren could say anything, he suddenly fainted without a sound.

This time, even the queen was shocked.

Although she was threatening Emperor Jingren just now, she was also telling him that the Eighth Prince could still succeed to the throne without the imperial edict.

But the queen knew clearly that unless it was absolutely necessary, being able to obtain an imperial edict was the orthodox way and no one would question it!

But the Queen didn't expect that Emperor Jingren's body was so fragile that he fainted!

Looking at the Thirteenth Prince and Concubine Yan lying on Emperor Jingren and crying, the Queen felt a headache and pinched her temples, saying:

"Go call the imperial physician!"

As soon as the imperial physician arrived, he quickly took Emperor Jingren's pulse.

"How is your Majesty's health?" Seeing that the imperial physician remained silent for a long time, the queen couldn't help but ask.

The imperial physician wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly withdrew his hand, knelt in front of the queen and said:

"Empress, this, your Majesty, this, this is probably because he was so angry that he fainted. It should be, it should be fine..."

"should?"
