"Empress, how could King Zhao, as the biological father of the Empress, coerce the Empress? Everything His Highness does is for the Empress and the Prince."

Wang Xi smiled and inserted the last golden hairpin into Queen Zhao's hair.

Queen Zhao sneered twice, and a hint of fatigue suddenly appeared on her face. She said to Wang Xi: "You retreat, I want to visit Your Majesty."

"Yes." Wang Xi's face still had a faint smile.

With the help of the palace maids, Empress Zhao turned around and left Fengming Palace and went straight to Bishui Pavilion. After Xiao Wenxuan was seriously ill, he had been recuperating in Bishui Pavilion, and Concubine Zhen had been taking good care of her.

Logically, this should be taken care of by her, the queen, but at this time Xiao Wenxuan ordered her to rest in Bishui Pavilion. This incident made her, the queen, face unhappy. Because of this, there were more rumors in the palace.

The most angering rumor among them was that the emperor's serious illness had a direct relationship with her. Thinking of this, she felt angry.

"Empress."

When she arrived at Bishui Pavilion, Empress Zhao went straight into the inner hall. When she saw Empress Zhao coming in, Concubine Zhen bowed.

Queen Zhao nodded, her eyes no longer had the intimacy of the sisters as before. Xiao Wenxuan, the person who maintained the shame between them, fell down, and the concubines in the palace revealed their true colors.

They used all their means to start planning for the second half of their lives.

"You go out, I have something to say to the emperor." Queen Zhao said to Concubine Zhen in an orderly tone.

Concubine Zhen wanted to say something, but when she saw Queen Zhao's cold eyes, she finally sighed and walked out.

On the bed, Xiao Wenxuan's face turned yellow, his lips turned white, and his weak look could not even say a word.

At this time, his eyes were extremely complicated when he stared at Queen Zhao, but he still didn't say a word.

"Master, why is this?"

Queen Zhao looked at Xiao Wenxuan, with confusion and confusion in her eyes. She did not hate Concubine Zhen before, but thought she hated her like never before.

Xiao Wenxuan's eyes turned, and his expression suddenly became a little scared. He did not dare to look at Queen Zhao's eyes, but instead tried his best to find the figure of Concubine Zhen.

Queen Zhao suddenly felt sad, her eyes were slightly red, and she said with pain: "Are you and I not as good as Concubine Zhen for decades now? Even though I am old and ugly, you don't want to pay attention to me, but even for the sake of the Thirteenth Prince, you shouldn't treat me like this."

When talking about the Thirteenth Prince, Xiao Wenxuan's eyes suddenly became dazed. He looked at Queen Zhao and said weakly for the first time: "My life is probably going to fall into the hands of you and the Thirteenth Prince."

"Emperor, the Thirteenth Prince is just a baby, how could he kill you?" Queen Zhao said sternly, "Does the emperor hate me and I don't even give me a decent excuse?"

"Hehe..." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly laughed hoarsely, but the smile was full of despair.

Two months ago, Empress Zhao gave birth to the Thirteenth Prince. That day was his happiest day in these years. This joy even surpassed Xiao Ming's capture of Shanhaiguan.

Over the years, he and Empress Zhao have a deep relationship and have always supported each other. Empress Zhao's children are his favorite children. For Empress Zhao, he has always supported the incompetent prince.

But he didn't expect that his life would fall on Empress Zhao and his son one day.

Since Empress Zhao gave birth to the Thirteenth Prince, the prince has given Queen Zhao blood bird's nests on the grounds of filial piety. Because there are too many blood bird's nests, Queen Zhao will give Xiao Wenxuan a bowl of body nourishing.

After all, he is old now and his health is getting worse and worse.

But he didn't expect that after drinking for a month, his body became weaker and weaker, until he suddenly fainted on the ground one day, and then his body became worse and worse day by day, until he could only lie in bed and couldn't get up.

After thinking about it, he became more and more suspicious that something was wrong with the bird's nest, because only the blood bird's nest did not come from the imperial kitchen.

Thinking of this, he asked Feng Deshui to investigate secretly, but Feng Deshui never came back after he left. Since then, he found that his emperor's life could not leave Bishui Pavilion at all.

At this time, he finally despaired. In his opinion, Empress Zhao must be eager to get the prince to ascend the throne.

Because he once joked to her that when the Thirteenth Prince grew up, he would make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince. After all, the Thirteenth Prince was also the one who was born by Empress Zhao and was also the legitimate son.

"Your Majesty, you must be ill and confused." Queen Zhao felt even more sad. Xiao Wenxuan now made him unreasonable.

"Ahem!"

Xiao Wenxuan coughed violently twice. During this period, he felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker. I was afraid that time would not take too long. Looking at Queen Zhao, he begged and said, "I can't say that you want me to die, but don't implicate innocent people. King Qi is the only one who can stop the barbarians from going south. If you send Concubine Zhen to Qingzhou, King Qi will definitely be grateful for your kindness. Even if he does not support the prince, he will not let the barbarians enter the pass."

Queen Zhao became more and more confused. She said, "Emperor, what are you talking about? Why do I want the emperor to die?"

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Empress Zhao calmly. Since he fell ill, he has been very cautious about Empress Zhao and has never said anything to her. Now that Empress Zhao is talking sincerely, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and asked, "I'll ask you, where did Feng Deshui go?"

"Feng Deshui." Queen Zhao was suddenly stunned, and she said, "Didn't Feng Deshui retire and return home?"

"Retirement and return home?" Xiao Wenxuan sneered repeatedly, "I sent him to investigate the blood bird's nest, but now he suddenly disappeared. Do you think he is retirement and return home?"

Queen Zhao's expression became increasingly ugly. She suddenly felt cold behind her when she thought of Wang Xi's face. Wang Xi had been conveying political orders for this period, and what she heard was also what Wang Xi said.

Looking back now, it seems that things have changed since she gave birth to the Thirteenth Prince, and the blood bird's nest in Xiao Wenxuan's mouth was what he asked Wang Xi to send.

Wang Xi was very honest with her before, but now Wang Xi seems to have become a different person.

"This is what Wang Xi and I said." Queen Zhao hesitated for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly had a trace of enlightenment in his eyes. He understood that Queen Zhao might be innocent. He said, "It's too late, it's too late to do anything now. He has already taken action. Wanrong, believe me, you are your father's conspiracy. Listen to me, take Concubine Zhen and the Thirteenth Prince to Qingzhou to join the King of Qi. I will now make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince."

"Father! You really want to make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the inner hall, and the prince walked in with a gloomy face.
