Round after round of guards, court ladies and eunuchs came in and out.

Because the previous assassination was related to those Japanese envoys, Zhao Lian sent people to place Prince Rende and his concubine in one hall for special guarding, while the rest of the entourage was arranged in another place.

It happened suddenly, because the assassin committed suicide and died. Many things are still under investigation. It cannot be arbitrarily determined that Prince Rende did it. What's more, Zhao Lian felt that the purpose of the assassination might not be Zhao Shan. Separate placement may be a kind of protection for benevolence.

After waiting for Zhao Lian to arrange everything, he hurried to Ronghua Palace.

Hearing that Luo Fan was seriously poisoned and in danger, Zhao Lian's heart was extremely heavy.

Feeling that Zhao Shan was still there when Ronghua Palace was in place, he sat in the outer hall with a dazed face, and no one around him dared to approach the current emperor.

Zhao Lian walked to Zhao Shan's side and didn't say a word. At this moment, his heart was also very heavy.

"I never thought that such a thing would happen. She should hate me, but why did she save me?" Zhao Shan stroked his face with a sad face.

Zhao Lian paused and said, "Because you are the ruler and she is the subject, as a subject, it is natural to protect the monarch."

"In her eyes, I have always been a king." Zhao Shan said helplessly.

"Brother Huang has always understood, right? But why do you still have to do so many things? If something really happens to her, Brother Huang, you will never be able to live in peace for the rest of your life."

Zhao Shan smiled wryly, "I just wanted to keep her by my side. I never thought that doing so would kill her. I really never thought about it. It's all my fault. If it weren't for my selfish desires and my will, maybe I wouldn't be where I am today She would not be so indifferent, but after all, she is because of me... Now even God can't see it, as an emperor, he can't keep the person he likes, if it's not mine, it will never be." Zhao Shan He has understood this truth for a long time, but he is unwilling to let go, and now he wants to compete with the sky for Luo Fan's life.

"What's the use of saying this now, I just hope that Luo Fan is safe and sound." Zhao Lian said.

The emperor nodded. At this time, the imperial physicians in the inner hall were very busy.

"Doctor Xue, what should we do now?" Luo Fan's injury continued to worsen, and experienced imperial physicians were a little helpless.

"So we can only use the last method. If it really doesn't work, we have to be buried with him." Imperial Physician Xue said helplessly, sweating profusely.

"This trip is very dangerous, and we are not very sure." Another imperial doctor shook his head.

"If things go on like this, the Empress will definitely not survive tonight, there is only one way, give it a go." Imperial Physician Xue said.

"But..." The imperial physicians were hesitant, no matter how they couldn't save the queen, she would be buried with her, so she had to give it a go.

"Okay." Finally, he agreed with Imperial Physician Xue.

Naturally, this matter has to be discussed with the emperor. Even if this method is successful, the empress's body will not return to the original state, so she must be mentally prepared.

Zhao Shan and Zhao Lian's hearts trembled when they heard the imperial physicians say this, "Is this the only way?" Zhao Shan asked.

"Going back to the emperor is the only way now. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid the empress will not be able to survive tonight. This poison is extremely dangerous. If it wasn't for the timely sealing of the empress's major bloodlines, I might not be able to do it now." Imperial Physician Xue said.

"Brother Huang, hurry up and make a decision. The imperial physicians are waiting for treatment." Zhao Lian woke up Zhao Shan who was in a daze.

Zhao Shan raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will do as you said, and we must save the queen."

Xiao Zixi had a nightmare all night, and she woke up before dawn.After a while Xiao Zixi got up and went to the window, opened the window, a thin layer of mist condensed in the morning air.

At this moment, Xiao Zixi's heart was as hazy as this fog.

Qing'er got up to prepare breakfast for everyone, and when she came to the backyard, Xiao Zixi was already up, "Miss, why did you get up so early? Did you rest well last night?" Qing'er asked.

Xiao Zixi forced a smile and said, "Well, very good."

I don't want Qing'er to worry too much about her.

Qing'er looked at Xiao Zixi suspiciously, she was clearly preoccupied, and looking at Xiao Zixi's face, she didn't rest well last night, it was more like a sleepless night.

"Miss, it's better to leave it to me here." Qing'er persuaded.

"Okay, then I'll go to Mother's place first to see if Mother and Si Fan are together." Saying that, Xiao Zixi entered the room.

Qing'er kept looking at her from behind, how could Xiao Zixi's dazed appearance reassure her.

Aunt Cai put on clothes for Xiao Sifan, and was about to take her out when she heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened the door, it was Xiao Zixi.

Xiao Zixi said good morning, took Xiao Sifan from Mrs. Cai and said with a smile, "Mother, you really worked hard last night."

"It's not hard, Xiao Sifan is very obedient and didn't cry yesterday." He gently scratched Xiao Sifan's nose, making Sifan laugh "quack".

Aunt Cai looked at Xiao Zixi again and said worriedly: "It's you, didn't you sleep well last night? Your complexion is worse than yesterday."

"No, it's just some dream monsters." Xiao Zixi said lightly, but Aunt Cai saw some helplessness and tiredness on her face.

Xiao Zixi's behavior continued for several days, and Qing'er and Aunt Cai were extremely worried, so they finally invited a doctor.

The doctor gave Xiao Zixi a look and said that it was because he was thinking too much, take more rest and don't think too much, and also prescribed some tranquilizing medicine.

But after many days, Xiao Zixi's mood still did not improve, until a bad news came that was enough to shock the subjects of Daling.

In April of the [-]th year of Hongji, Empress Luo was seriously injured when she was rescued. Although she was treated for several days, she died because of the deterioration of her injuries.

The emperor was deeply saddened by the death of the empress. Because of the empress's meritorious service, the emperor named Luo Fan as Empress Xiaode, and was buried in Maoling as a state funeral.

The queen died, and the whole country mourned.

"What, Qing'er, what did you say?" Xiao Zixi's face turned pale after hearing Qing'er's words, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Qing'er looked serious, "It's true, that's what people say outside, and now the government has issued a list, prohibiting weddings and other happy events during the national mourning period. The empress is indeed dead."

Xiao Zixi felt dizzy when he heard this, and his body immediately cooled down.

"Miss." Qing'er rushed to help Xiao Zixi who was crumbling, Qing'er didn't understand why the death of the empress was such a big blow to the young lady.

Miss Mo Fei knew this queen, but after following her for so many years, Qing'er didn't know that Miss had such a friend.

Xiao Zixi lost strength all over her body, slumped on the wooden chair and muttered to herself, "No, Anian will be fine, how could it be."

Qing'er didn't understand what this matter had to do with Lu Nian, could it be... Qing'er was taken aback, this...

"Miss." It was the first time Qing'er saw Xiao Zixi so lost.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Mrs. Cai came out of the room holding Sifan, and saw Xiao Zixi's face full of tears and grief.

"Mother, Anian, no, I won't." Xiao Zixi choked up several times.

"A Nian, what happened to her, A Nian?"

Aunt Cai was also in a hurry, there was no news from Lu Nian for so long.

After Xiao Zixi came back, she didn't mention Lu Nian any more. Although Aunt Cai didn't ask, she still cared deeply about her. The last time King Su came, she said that Lu Nian had brought some words to her. The aunt knew that Anian might not come back.

Aunt Cai sincerely regarded Lu Nian as her own child, and now she is very concerned about Lu Nian's news from Xiao Zixi's mouth again, but Xiao Zixi's behavior could be caused by Anian's accident.

Xiao Zixi closed her eyes in grief, "A Nian, you said that we will all be well, why are you so dishonest, why?"

Queen Daling was assassinated by Dongying assassins, which seriously affected the relationship between the two countries.

Originally, they wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tense situation between the two countries, but because of this incident, the relationship between the two countries deteriorated again, and Prince Rende, who was the envoy of Japan, was imprisoned in the Daling Palace.

The queen's death Daling naturally would not let it go, as the subjects of Daling all demanded to kill the people of Dongying and shovel Dongying to the ground to avenge the Queen of Daling.

Zhao Shan sat in the hall in court clothes, all the memorials from the previous court were thrown aside, with one hand lowered and his brows down, he was very tired.

"Brother Huang." Zhao Lian walked into the hall without asking anyone to inform him.

Zhao Shan raised his head, "How's the investigation going?"

"As expected, there is a conspiracy." Zhao Lian said.

"What's the situation with Prince Rende?" Zhao Shan asked again.

"He has already been informed of this matter. It seems that the purpose of the assassin this time is not the emperor's brother, but to use the land of Daling to get rid of the second prince."

"So it seems that the big prince of Dongying really did it." Zhao Shan asked.

"That's right, the King of Dongying has always taken a fancy to the second prince and wants him to inherit the throne. It seems that the eldest prince can't wait to make an early move." Zhao Lian said with a frown.

"It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. I will definitely make the eldest prince pay the due price." Zhao Shan's eyes showed a fierce look.

"Brother Huang, the national funeral has already been arranged." Zhao Lian said again.

Zhao Shan looked at Zhao Lian and paused, "Got it, I'm tired and want you to go back first." Zhao Shan stopped and said.

"I just hope that Brother Huang will not forget what he promised me and Luo Fan that day, and the sacrifice that Luo Fan made for Brother Huang will not be in vain," Zhao Lian said again.

Zhao Shan nodded, "I will never forget or regret it, maybe this is the last thing I can do for her."

After receiving such an answer from Zhao Shan, Zhao Lian was relieved, now the Queen of Daling is indeed dead.
