Xie Lin also held a eunuch and a palace maid hostage under his sword, but the queen did not care about their lives. At her command, the guards behind her immediately rushed forward and surrounded Xie Lin.

However, Xie Lin had no intention of putting down his sword.

The Queen said, "Xie Lin, the Emperor promoted you to be the Prime Minister of Daqi, but you are so ungrateful that you even took advantage of the Emperor's illness to try to kill him. Not only have you failed the Emperor's appreciation for you, but you have also failed his trust in you, and even failed the people of Daqi that the Emperor has entrusted to you!

"Killing the king and usurping the throne is enough to make you exterminate all nine clans! I advise you to go to death obediently. I promise you that I will spare the lives of several hundred people in your Xie Mansion! They will not be implicated!"

The long swords in the guards' hands shone with cold light, and the huge bedroom was filled with murderous aura.

Chu Heyi moved towards Xie Lin unnoticed, step by step, slowly, slowly approaching him.

The Queen's voice was still ringing, with a cold tone of superiority: "If you insist on resisting, I will kill all your clans when this is over! There are guards everywhere in and outside the palace, you can't escape!"

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the Queen and Xie Lin.

The emperor lying on the bed and Gan Sui who was treating the emperor were actually ignored by them.

With no one noticing, Gan Sui's hands were still busy as time passed quickly.

Once, twice, three times...

He was also counting silently in his heart, one, two, three, four, five... seven, eight, nine, ten! Gan Sui secretly exhaled!

The situation around was tense and everyone looked like they were about to face the collapse of Mount Tai. Only Gan Sui, unlike everyone else, breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed. He slumped down on the dragon bed, and then sweat flowed from his hair, and his face and back were covered with sweat.

His movement of slumping down was not big, and the sound he made was not loud, but in this tense atmosphere of confrontation, in this extreme silence, it seemed so abrupt that everyone noticed him instantly.

The queen finally reacted and shouted, "Capture this man, he is an accomplice!"

Several guards immediately rushed towards Gan Sui, but Gan Sui seemed to have used up all his strength and sat paralyzed on the dragon bed, unable to get up. He also seemed to have no intention of getting up. He just sat there listlessly, waiting for the guards to rush to him.

The Queen said: "Drag this man away and beat him to death immediately!"

The guard extended his hand towards Gan Sui.

Seeing that they were about to catch the man, Xie Lin and Chu Heyi said in unison: "Wait!"

The voice was extremely cold, as if something important had been discovered, and the guards involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

Then, they were heard to speak in unison, "Look!"

What? Everyone was confused!

The queen was also confused, but she didn't want to delay and just wanted to execute Xie Lin quickly...

Unexpectedly, Chu Heyi said, "The emperor seems to have woken up. Thank you for inviting the great doctor Gan Sui to save the emperor!"

"What?" The queen's heart was shocked and she rushed over. She saw the emperor's fingers move twice, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Concubine Zhen also walked in quickly and threw herself beside the emperor: "Your Majesty is awake, the emperor is really awake. How do you feel, Your Majesty? When you were sick, I was scared to death..."

The queen was icy cold all over, as if she was in an ice cellar. Her lips were trembling and she was unable to speak.

She met the emperor's gaze. The emperor's eyes were clear, completely different from before. Although the emperor occasionally woke up before, he was confused most of the time, and his eyes were blank, as if he was in a dream.

Alright? Really?

The doctor brought by Xie Lin was so skilled that he cured the emperor? The queen felt dizzy!

Xie Lin immediately threw away his sword and knelt down: "Congratulations to the emperor on his recovery. I have said that the emperor is a true dragon and will surely live a long and blessed life. As long as we invite a miracle doctor to treat him, the emperor will surely get better."

Chu Heyi also knelt down immediately and knelt beside Xie Lin.

The emperor looked around and then reached out his hand to Xie Lin. Xie Lin immediately stepped forward and helped him sit up from the bed.

"What's going on?" asked the emperor, his voice hoarse and weak after recovering from illness.

The queen also knelt down instantly, and everyone in the bedroom knelt on the ground, placing the swords in their hands on the ground.

The flashes of swords and sabers disappeared in an instant.

The Queen shed tears and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's great that you woke up. I was worried sick, as were Lord Xie and Princess Cheng'an."

When the emperor looked at her, she crawled forward on her knees and placed her hands on the emperor's knees, still shedding tears.

“Your Majesty, after you fell ill, I ordered the Imperial Hospital to treat you, but they said you were seriously ill… I was terrified and thought I was going to lose you forever.

"It was Lord Xie. He insisted on finding a wandering doctor from outside the palace to treat you, but how could I dare to do that? I thought to myself, can a wandering doctor be better than the imperial physician in the palace? I couldn't bear to let the wandering doctor torture you, so I wanted to stop Lord Xie.

"It was my fault. Fortunately, Your Majesty insisted on letting the itinerant doctor treat you, so you got better. I was too worried about you, so I was confused. Fortunately, Your Majesty has recovered. I...I am willing to accept the punishment. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The queen's tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and her forehead knocked on the dragon bed, right beside the emperor's legs, looking extremely affectionate.

The emperor woke up from his illness and was deeply moved to see the queen doing this for him. He touched her black hair lovingly and said, "You are doing this for my own good. I don't blame you. Get up."

The queen's body was still shaking, but she knew in her heart that she had escaped.

"Your Majesty, you must be hungry. I have asked someone to warm up the hot porridge and wait for you to wake up. I will bring it to you right away."

When the queen stood up, her body swayed. She was dizzy due to extreme tension and then relaxation. However, in the emperor's opinion, she almost fainted because she had been taking care of herself and worrying about her illness for many days.

The emperor was more and more moved.

"Now that the emperor has woken up, thank you for your great contribution. The emperor and I will reward him well. You all may leave now." The queen said after she stood still.

All the guards retreated like a tide, and the queen was supported by Nanny An. When she left, her nails dug into Nanny An's wrist, leaving obvious red marks.

In the bedroom, the emperor dismissed everyone, leaving only Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and Gan Sui. Then he looked at Gan Sui and asked, "You are the one who cured my illness?"

Gan Sui replied, "Yes."

The emperor asked him, "What do you think of my illness?"

Gan Sui pursed his lips, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, not daring to answer at all.

"I absolve you of all guilt. Speak!"
