"Your Highness." Fulin's voice came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

Hearing the voice, Rong Yunqi was about to take back his hand to wipe the sweat, but Chu Chenning suddenly grabbed it, moved it down the back of his hand, and pinched his fingertips.

"It's time to have dinner with His Majesty the Phoenix."

"I'll be there right away." Although he said this, Chu Chenning didn't stand up. He still lowered his head and played with Rong Yunlu's knuckles.

Rong Yunqiu saw the satisfaction in her eyes, but he urged her softly, "A Ning, don't keep His Majesty Feng Jun waiting for too long."

"understood."

In the main hall of the Mountain Resort, palace servants were busy shuttling between the corridors. Feng Jun, wearing a dark blue robe, helped the empress to her seat.

"Xiaoliu hasn't come yet?" Although the queen was still ill, her majesty was still there. She swept her eyes over everyone, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in her eyes.

Feng Jun gently held the Queen's hand and soothed her softly, "Xiao Liu's clothes are soaked with sweat, I'll come after I change."

The Queen was relieved. "Never mind. Her playful nature can't be changed."

"Mother Queen and Father."

The empress raised her head when she heard the voice and looked outside the hall, only to see Chu Chenning, dressed in a black robe, holding Rong Yunqiu's hand, walking into the hall with steady steps.

He walked up to the Queen, knelt on one knee, and performed the etiquette between the monarch and his subject, while Rong Yunjie also performed the ceremony in a proper manner.

"You are still well behaved here. Come on, have dinner."

The Queen nodded gently, signaling the two to stand up. Feng Jun, who was standing beside her, looked at her child tenderly, with eyes full of doting and love.

After dinner, Feng Jun asked Rong Yunluo to accompany her for a walk outside.

The doctor felt the empress's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, the remaining poison in your body has been cleared, but you still need to rest."

"Go down." The Queen waved her hand casually. When Chu Chenning and the Queen were the only ones left in the palace, she asked, "How is your sister doing?"

"My sister sent a message saying that everything is ready."

"What did the person who was caught say, it was her?"

"It's the fifth sister."

After a long while, the Queen slowly spoke, her voice also carrying a bit of boredom, "I didn't expect that fratricide would happen to you so soon. Is this position so good?"

The fight for the throne was inevitable, and she knew that she could no longer stop it from happening.

"A Ning doesn't want this position, but since it was left to my sister by our mother, we can't let others take it away."

"You really don't care. Well, let your sister tell you how to deal with it." The Queen's voice gradually became low, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her face.

"My sister said that it's all up to the Queen Mother to decide."

Chu Chenning raised her head and looked at the person sitting in the main seat. She seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and her eyes were filled with fatigue and helplessness.

She naturally knew that her mother did not want to see such a situation, but as the ruler of a country, she could not tolerate her children collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

"Your sister understands what I mean, so let her decide." The Queen sighed, her tone full of helplessness.

She naturally knew that she was not as good as Chu Chenyue, who could distinguish between public and private matters regardless of personal or romantic feelings.

After she took this position, she was still soft-hearted and only executed those ministers of the previous dynasty who were unwilling to be loyal, and she did not kill those blood sisters who were extremely ambitious.

We have turned a blind eye to their actions for so many years, but we didn't expect that this would encourage their ambitions, leading to the current situation.

"Mother Queen, this is not your fault. They are the ones who have been blinded by power." Chu Chenning said softly.

"maybe…"

The Queen waved her hand, and Chu Chenning understood what she meant and withdrew, leaving the Queen alone in the hall.
