The emperor was unconscious and the imperial physician was helpless after he arrived.

A group of ministers and princes gathered in the East Palace to discuss various matters. The queen was a harem and was not suitable for attending, so she could only wait anxiously in the side palace.

"Yingxue has seen the Empress." When Lin Yingxue walked into the side hall, a depressing and solemn atmosphere was lingering in the entire side hall.

"No gift, you all retreat." As soon as she bowed to salute, the queen waved to her and sent the palace servants in the side hall.

Lin Yingxue walked forward as the queen said, and saw the queen frowned and looked at her with a serious expression: "The emperor is probably really not able to do this time."

Originally, the emperor's body had reached a point where he was almost exhausted. If he had been well recuperated at that time, he might have lived a little longer. However, because of Meng Yi's appearance, the emperor had been holding on to court in order to defend the throne.

When the last bit of lamp oil is exhausted, the emperor's body will not work.

Looking at the queen's heavy face, Lin Yingxue said nothing for a moment.

Just as the depressed aura gathered towards Lin Yingxue bit by bit, Liu De suddenly hurriedly walked in from outside.

"What do those people in the East Palace say?" The queen stood up excitedly when she saw Liu De.

"Go back to the Empress." Liu De bowed his hand, his face not very optimistic. "Recently, a sudden flood in the north, and various things in the court need to be dealt with. The emperor fell down when the monarch was needed to preside over the scene... Now everyone means to let Prince Yi take over the government first..."

"What?!" As soon as Liu De finished speaking, the queen raised her tone and said: "Even if the emperor is not healthy, the prince should come out to manage the government at this time. When will it be the turn of King Yi?"

"This..." Liu De, who was under tremendous pressure, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then replied: "The main reason is that the prince is now ill in bed and has no way to deal with the affairs of the court. The other princes cannot overtake the emperor without the emperor's advice..."

After doing this, wouldn’t the most suitable candidate fall on Meng Yi?

"The prince's illness is really a bad time!" The queen fell back to the chair with annoyance, but after thinking about it, the queen was still a little puzzled: "There are many people in the court who support the prince and the fifth prince. What are the ministers doing for food? How could they allow people to make such suggestions?"

According to the queen's thoughts, the prince's party and the fifth prince's party are now in a row and the people of the court are now in a row. Meng Yi only joined in the end, and should be the one with the weakest power, but now it is this person with the weakest foundation that has the upper hand, which is simply incomprehensible.

"The Empress is unknown." Liu De couldn't help but look a little surprised and admiration on his face when he talked about this. "In addition to those who supported the crown prince and the fifth prince, there were also some ministers who had been openly neutral."

"A lot of these ministers who remain neutral on the surface have come forward to support King Yi in the temporary throne, including several cabinet masters, seem to have been shaken..."

"What?" After hearing Liu De's words, the queen's beautiful eyebrows almost twisted into a dead knot between her eyebrows.

——She never expected that Meng Yi had just entered the imperial city for a short time, even the cabinet master would have been pulled... If such a person had just had time to spend time, wouldn't he have fun in the whole court?

"You must not let King Yi sit on the throne!" The queen's tone was as solid as a rock and unshakable.

Lin Yingxue and Liu De looked at each other, and both of them lowered their heads and remained silent.

After a while, the queen turned her gaze for help to Lin Yingxue, "Yingxue, you have outstanding medical skills. Is there any way to make the prince get better quickly? As long as the prince's health is not in a bad state, we will be sure to win this battle."

The queen's eyes were full of anxiety, and Lin Yingxue's eyes dodged for a moment - she was wondering at this moment if the queen knew that the prince had not improved for a long time, would the queen be so angry that she wanted to stab her to death with a sword?

"Prince..."

"Empress, it's not good!"

Lin Yingxue was thinking about answering, but a man dressed as a servant rushed in under the leadership of the palace maid.

Lin Yingxue recognized the servant as a member of the prince's mansion at a glance, and the queen must have been the same, so she did not scold her, but said with a bad face: "What happened to be so panic?"

"Go back to the Empress, the condition of the Prince's Highness suddenly worsened at noon today. After the doctor came to check it, he said that he was poisoned. Now the Prince is in a coma... The young men don't know what to do, so they quickly entered the palace to report to the Queen." The servant was full of anxiety.

After hearing the servant's words, the queen's face suddenly changed, and her body shook even more, and she almost couldn't stand firm. "Hurry up, prepare the car, I want to go out of the palace to see the prince!"

The queen hurriedly walked out with the help of the palace maid, with an invincible majesty at all, and the only thing she had was the worry of being a mother.

Lin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, quickly following the queen's pace, but her mind was a little confused - the prince's poisoning would not be related to her, right?

At this time, the prince's mansion had already been in chaos, and all the servants were walking anxiously, and even the queen had no time to take care of it.

The queen went straight to the prince's room. The prince lay on the bed with a pale face, as if he was still in a coma. Feng Wanwan was still crying like Lin Yingxue last time, without regard for her image.

As for Fang Mengru, she had to be much calmer. Although she was also anxious, she was still directing her servants to work in an orderly manner.

"Feng'er!" The queen rushed to the bed anxiously. When Feng Wanwan saw the queen coming, she reluctantly moved some seats to the side for the queen.

"What the hell is going on?" The queen looked at the prince intently, but the words in her mouth were asking the people in the room.

"After returning to my mother, Brother Feng was still fine in the morning, but when he was having lunch, he suddenly coughed up blood and fell into a coma. So I hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor to come. Unexpectedly, after the doctor's examination, he said that Brother Feng was poisoned, and the doctor said that Brother Feng's condition was quite complicated, so he first prescribed two prescriptions to stabilize Brother Feng's condition, and then went down to study the prescription." Fang Mengru explained with a serious expression.

After hearing Fang Mengru's words, the queen's face was almost gloomy as if water was about to drip out of it.

"Poisoning? It's really a rebellious thing. Who is so brave that he dares to murder the crown prince? Did he catch the murderer?!" The queen glared at everyone in the room. Her gentle face looked a little scary today.

"After returning to my mother, the incident happened suddenly, and my wife has not found any clues yet..."

When Fang Mengru said this, Xiaoqing, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but look at Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue, who was thinking, did not notice Xiaoqing's complicated gaze. She thought for a while, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the prince's bed, and held her breath and focused her pulse for the prince.

"Go and invite the doctor who treats Brother Feng." Seeing Lin Yingxue take action, Fang Mengru turned around and ordered Xiaoqing behind her, but Xiaoqing still stood still as if she didn't hear it.

"Xiaoqing?" Fang Mengru waited for a while and saw that Xiaoqing was not moving, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiaoqing in confusion.

"I'm not sure!" Ran Xiaoqing suddenly blurted out as if she was suddenly awakened from a certain state.

Xiaoqing's voice was extremely loud. Even Lin Yingxue, who was concentrating on her pulse, was attracted by the attention. She turned her head and looked at Xiaoqing with some confusion.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing couldn't help but shrink behind Fang Mengru in fear. When such a serious situation arose, Fang Mengru couldn't help but glared at Xiaoqing with some reproach, "What are you talking about? Why don't you invite that doctor?"

After being scolded by her own lady, Xiaoqing was about to leave, but when she left, she glanced at Lin Yingxue intentionally or unintentionally.

The look seemed a little scared and confused.

The queen caught Xiaoqing's small action and couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"

The queen said with a sound, and the whole air seemed to solidify.

Xiaoqing's body stiffened and turned around and knelt down.

The queen walked to Xiaoqing step by step, looked at Xiaoqing condescendingly, and asked word by word: "What do you mean just now, and why did you look at County Lord Yuhui just now?"

After a 'smack', the queen's words not only hit Xiaoqing's heart, but also hit Lin Yingxue's heart.

Lin Yingxue turned to look at Xiaoqing, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

As expected, perhaps because she could not withstand the pressure of the queen, Xiaoqing looked at Lin Yingxue with some fear, and then hesitated and said: "A few days ago, I saw County Lord Yuhui enter the kitchen with my own eyes, and it seemed...it seemed... to have moved the prince's medicine jar..."

"I didn't think much about it at that time, but within a few days of this incident, the crown prince suddenly became poisoned, so..." That's why she wondered if Lin Yingxue had tampered with the prince's medicine.

At this moment, Lin Yingxue's limbs were cold. Before she could explain, the queen swept her with a sharp look like a knife.

"Is this maid true?" The queen's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

Lin Yingxue was speechless, so she naturally could not tell the queen that she had given medicine to the prince, but what she gave to the prince was medicine that was harmless to the prince's body.

"Mother, Yingxue is not such a person. There must be some misunderstandings in this!" Before Lin Yingxue could think of how to speak, Fang Mengru stood up and hurriedly defended Lin Yingxue.

But no matter how kind the queen is, she can no longer maintain her former calmness and kindness when facing the assassination of her son.

"Misunderstanding?" The queen looked at Lin Yingxue and smiled coldly, with a cold look. "If it is a misunderstanding, why did she move the prince's medicine jar, why don't she defend herself at the moment?"

"This..." Fang Mengru was speechless for a moment, and she turned around and looked at Lin Yingxue in confusion.
