Su Yunxuan and the Queen Mother stood on both sides and helped Su Jibei, who was almost unable to stand, back to Fengqi Palace.

Lying back on the bed, Su Jibei refused the medicine sent by Bai Shu and anxiously asked the Queen Mother why she wanted to stop him.

The Queen Mother bluntly stated that under this special circumstance, Prince Xu was the last person likely to agree to the marriage between Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng also expressed his agreement with the Queen Mother.

He said that everything that Master Bai told him before his death made him realize that Prince Xu had never thought of seizing that position before, and that he only had Yunsheng Jiangshan and the people in his heart...

Su Jibei then realized that it was his father's suspicion that destroyed the brotherly relationship between him and Prince Xu, and pushed Prince Xu further and further down the wrong path.

Su Jibei began to blame himself, blaming himself for his cowardice. He did not convince his father to believe in Prince Xu, but chose to compromise and agree to the marriage between Yun Sheng and Feng Lan.

The Queen Mother couldn't bear to see him like that, so she took the responsibility on herself, saying that it was actually she who proposed the marriage to the late emperor...

Time was urgent last night and there was no time to ask the Queen Mother questions. After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Su Yunxuan asked the Queen Mother again about the doubts in her heart.

She had so many questions.

She asked why the Queen Mother chose to marry the Emperor when she was clearly a couple with Prince Xu?

If the Queen Mother's purpose of marrying the Emperor is really as His Majesty said, then why didn't she choose to follow Master Bai back to the capital of Yunsheng from the beginning, but instead took the initiative to stay with Prince Xu?

The Queen Mother did not answer.

She asked the Queen Mother why she needed to drink blood and why she became like that?

The Queen Mother did not answer either.

She also asked the Queen Mother if she would suffer from the disease again in the future if there was no blood supply.

The Queen Mother nodded, looked at Su Jibei who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and silent, and said: "Your father's time is running out."

Su Yunxuan finally couldn't hold it anymore. She knelt beside the bed, tightly grasping the hands of the Queen Mother and her father, crying and shaking her head wildly.

Su Changfeng felt so distressed that he almost went forward to help.

He tried hard to clench his fists, but finally chose to stand still.

The Queen Mother looked up and closed her eyes in pain.

A tear of regret rolled down her eye.

After opening her eyes again, she gently wiped Su Yunxuan's tears for a while, then turned to Su Jibei, who also had tears streaming down his cheeks, and said, "Yunxuan, you and Changfeng go out first. I have something to say to your father alone."

Su Yunxuan shook her head.

"Yunxuan, be good. Go out first and find Yin Qian. Ask him to give you the booklet. He knows which one it is."

The Queen Mother said this, and then turned to Su Changfeng, who was not far behind Su Yunxuan, and asked, "Did you send Xuan Huangzi away?"

Su Changfeng nodded.

The Queen Mother said to him, "Hurry up and send someone to find him and give him the booklet. After reading it, he will know what to do. Also, go and call Prince Xu for me."

Su Changfeng stepped forward, helped Su Yunxuan up, and forced her to walk out.

When they reached the door, the Queen Mother called them and said, "Changfeng, Yunxuan is now in your hands... Yunxuan, remember, you are the princess of Yunsheng. As a princess, you should be the most precious person and should enjoy all the honors and favors..."

"Grandmother..." Su Yunxuan sobbed and called, struggling to break free from Su Changfeng's hand.

"Go quickly!" The Queen Mother waved at them.

Su Changfeng hugged Su Yunxuan tightly, and as he led her out, he gently advised: "They don't have much time left, so we have to hurry up too."

Su Yunxuan stopped struggling, wiped her tears, and walked quickly.

After leaving Fengqi Palace, the two of them went their separate ways.

Su Yunxuan went to the Queen Mother's Palace to look for Yin Qian who was released this morning.

Su Changfeng went out of the palace.

He hurriedly mounted his horse and was about to order Bai Shu, who had arrived, to send someone to chase Ruoying as soon as possible and ask Ruoying to retrieve the Xuanhuangzi that had been handed over to An Lan, when Bai Shu suddenly pointed to the side of the palace gate and shouted, "Prince, King Xu's carriage."

It turned out that King Xu did not leave after the court meeting.

He had been struggling over whether or not to go find the Queen Mother to find out the truth, but because of her previous confession to him, he couldn't make up his mind to go and see her again.

That was two weeks after the news that Su Yunxuan had died in Fenglan and Su Changfeng was returning to Yunsheng with Su Yunxuan's ice coffin reached Yunsheng.

That time, the Queen Mother told him that there were actually two people in her body, and the two were of different ages. The younger one was the one who truly loved Prince Xu.

Before the Queen Mother told Prince Xu the truth, this villain had only appeared briefly three times in these years, strictly speaking, because of the Queen Mother's unwillingness and despair.

The first time was the grand banquet at the Taifu Mansion that year.

After the banquet, the person who took the initiative to find Prince Xu to confide in him, and therefore the person who had Su Shaoyu with Prince Xu, was not the Queen Mother who told Prince Xu the truth at this moment.

The second time was after Su Jibei brought his wife and daughter back to Yunsheng to celebrate his birthday. The villain went to tell King Xu that Su Shaoyu was King Xu's biological son, and instigated King Xu to reignite the war between the two countries.

The third time was when Su Changfeng brought Su Yunxuan's ice coffin back to Yunsheng, and the villain joined forces with Su Shaoyu to hunt down Su Changfeng.

The Queen Mother confessed to Prince Xu: After the third incident, she could no longer control her body at all, and the little man in her body would take control of her body from time to time.

Prince Xu was shocked when he heard this and asked the Queen Mother why she did so.

The Queen Mother did not answer, but only apologized to Prince Xu.

She said she regretted hurting King Xu because of her obsession and madness, hurting a loyal and brave man who truly cared about the country and the people.

.......

When Prince Xu rushed to Fengqi Palace, the Queen Mother had already done everything she wanted to do and was lying beside the Emperor's bed, covered in blood.

When Prince Xu pushed the door open and saw her, he kept shouting "Yun Shang" and ran forward excitedly to carry the Queen Mother back to the palace.

The Queen Mother refused.

After taking a last look at the emperor sleeping peacefully on the bed, the empress dowager was supported by Prince Xu and sat on the couch beside her.

Leaning on the table, the Queen Mother looked at Prince Xu with distress in her eyes, smiled and said weakly: "Her deep affection is worth it..."

As if she thought of something, she paused for a moment, lowered her eyes and murmured softly: "Better than me..."

Prince Xu became more and more worried. He turned around and went out to call the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother called him over, ordered him to sit down beside her, and said, "I can't do it anymore. If you have anything to ask, please ask it now."

After saying that, she suddenly leaned over and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Prince Xu, who had just sat down, jumped up again and raised his hand to help.

The Queen Mother dodged Prince Xu's hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve. She slowly leaned back on the table and said, "I owe you. Ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you the truth."

With red eyes, King Xu slowly withdrew his hand that was frozen in the air.

Sitting down again, he just gazed at the Queen Mother with deep affection in his eyes, without saying a word.

The Queen Mother coughed and urged, "Ask, even one question."

With moist eyes, Prince Xu finally spoke. He asked, "Is it really the reason you said at the court meeting that you chose the late emperor instead of me?"

"No." The Queen Mother replied, "But those words are the wishes of the person who admires you..."

After a pause, she smiled and said to herself: "Come to think of it, I have fulfilled my promise to her..."
