That’s right, if one wants everyone to recognize Shen Kuo as the emperor, the imperial edict written by Emperor Hui would be the most effective.

"What if there are still people who refuse to accept it?" the queen expressed her doubts.

Although she was not very clear about what was going on in the court, she knew that some people disliked her father.

Shen Kuo gave a sly smile, "You'll know when the time comes."

"You just need to help Dad get that thing done."

The queen knew that Shen Kuo could arrange everything, so she didn't ask any more questions.

On the other side, after the Queen left, Emperor Hui avoided the spies in the palace and sneaked into Jinxiu Palace.

When Xia Zhi saw Emperor Hui in the palace, he was so scared that he almost screamed.

After being glared at by Emperor Hui, he instantly came to his senses.

Why is the emperor here at this time?

"Where is your queen?" Emperor Hui looked at the palace maid in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xia Zhi bowed his head and replied, "Your Majesty, our queen is not feeling well..."

"Lead the way for me quickly." Before Xia Zhi could finish her words, Emperor Hui interrupted her in an urgent tone.

It must have been caused by the slap in the face by the Queen a few days ago. After this matter is over, he will make the Queen taste the pain.

Wan'er, I'm sorry for you this time.

Xia Zhi brought Emperor Hui to the concubine Wan's bedroom and then left.

At this time, the late concubine was asleep, and only heavy breathing could be heard.

Her face was slightly red due to illness and she looked a little haggard.

Emperor Hui walked towards the bed with heavy steps.

He reached out and touched her forehead, which was a little warm.

The concubine felt someone coming in a daze. She struggled to sit up from the bed, saw Emperor Hui, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Ahem. Ahem."

Emperor Hui quickly helped her up, picked up a pillow and placed it behind her back as a cushion.

"Don't talk." Then he poured a glass of water from the table and handed it to her, "How did they take care of you?"

"Why didn't you ask the imperial physician to come and take a look? Someone, come here."

Wan Fei took a sip of water from the cup, and the heat on her face subsided a little, and her throat was not so dry anymore.

She exhaled heavily and explained, "Your Majesty, I am fine. I am just a little tired. I will be fine after a good sleep."

Seeing that she didn't take care of her body at all, Emperor Hui was a little displeased, "Are you still angry with me?"

"I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have watched the Queen bully you."

"Did the Queen make you sick?"

Thinking of the scene that day, Emperor Hui felt extremely guilty.

A few days ago, the queen came to bring him soup again.

In order to paralyze her, he had to drink the soup she cooked and pretend to be controlled by drugs.

Just then Wan'er came to see him, and the Queen was so angry that she attacked Wan'er.

At that time, he hated himself so much that he couldn't do anything and had to watch the Queen hit Wan'er's face.

However, when he thought of his plan, he held back.

He could have come to see her earlier, but the Queen sent people to monitor him, so he could only avoid those people when she was away.

Wan Fei heard the hidden meaning in his words. She knew she shouldn't blame him, but her heart was inexplicably bitter. "I understand that the emperor didn't mean it."

She knew his plan to bring down General Shen’s power.

He endured everything silently, and even if she was wronged, she had to endure it for their future.

Emperor Hui raised his hand and stroked Concubine Wan'er's cheek, saying with a hint of tenderness, "Wan'er, I won't let you suffer in vain."

He thought that the Queen and Shen Kuo probably couldn't wait any longer.

When everything is settled, he will definitely seek justice for her.

Wan Fei thought of the way the Queen looked at her, and felt a little uneasy, "Your Majesty, you must be careful."

If he wasn't careful and the Queen found out that he had lied to her, then...

She was afraid that they would both be in trouble.

Emperor Hui comforted her, "Don't worry, I will be careful, just wait for me to bring you good news."

"You, the most important thing to do now is to take good care of your body."

As he said this, he pulled the quilt over her, covered her with it, and fed her a pill.

With Emperor Hui's company, the concubine gradually fell asleep.

He knew that she was very tired recently, and he would stay with her until everything was over.

The next day, before dawn, Emperor Hui opened his eyes early.

He touched her forehead and found that the fever had subsided. He finally felt relieved.

Last night, he fell asleep with the concubine Wan, and now it is time to go back.

In another hour, the queen will come and bring him soup.

Emperor Hui tried to lower his voice, but the concubine was still awakened by the rustling sound.

"Your Majesty, why did you get up so early?" The concubine muttered in the dim light.

Emperor Hui lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Wan'er, you continue to sleep. I still have things to deal with."

The concubine had just recovered from an illness and needed to rest. After asking, she continued to lie down and fell asleep.

After Emperor Hui had dressed everything, he prepared to leave the Jinxiu Palace.

At the door, I met Mu Nanyan who had just woken up.

Mu Nanyan didn't seem surprised at all when she saw Emperor Hui suddenly appear.

[Tsk tsk, Daddy is so clingy. He has been clinging to Mommy so much even after not seeing her for a few days.]

Emperor Hui couldn't help laughing when he heard her complaints.

He rubbed Mu Nanyan's hair and smiled: "Yan'er, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

In his opinion, children generally like to sleep in, although he is strict with other princes and asks them to get up early.

But he did not force his daughter.

Mu Nanyan smiled back at him, "Daddy, if you continue to sleep in the sun, you will sleep with your butt."

"Are you going back?"

Emperor Hui nodded, somewhat confused about what she meant by the question.

"Yan'er wants to follow me?"

Mu Nanyan held her chin and thought to herself, it’s not impossible, she actually wanted to meet the queen.

The Queen actually dared to bully her mother. Since her father couldn't take action, she would do it.

She looked up at Emperor Hui and said, "Yes, isn't Dad welcome?"

Emperor Hui showed a helpless smile, "You, if you want to go, can I stop you?"

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two returned to the imperial study.

Emperor Hui told her what the queen had done and guessed what they would do next.

"Dad, your situation is getting worse in front of the Queen. She already believes that you are under her control."

"They will probably take action in a few days."

Emperor Hui had the same idea, although he was a little anxious and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.

But now they haven't shown any signs of weakness, so he has no choice but to wait and see.

Before they could finish their discussion, footsteps were heard outside the door.

From the sound, I knew it was the Queen.

Mu Nanyan glanced around and found an empty cabinet next to her, so she quickly hid inside.

As soon as she closed the cabinet door, the queen pushed it open and walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to have breakfast." The sweet voice made Emperor Hui feel uncomfortable.

He endured the discomfort, took the spoon handed to him by the queen, and drank the porridge slowly.

Emperor Hui couldn't help but lament in his heart, wondering how long this would last.
