These words seemed to have hurt the emperor's heart. His originally powerless hands suddenly burst out with tremendous strength. He was about to rush towards the man in front of him, but his body could not support him and he fell down again.

Xiang Chengting looked at him with pity, without moving.

Back then, Queen Xia and Zhu Xiaowei were childhood sweethearts. Later, the emperor, who was then the third prince, met her. Zhu Xiaowei and the third prince both intended to marry Queen Xia. Finally, after much consideration, the late emperor married Queen Xia to the third prince.

Since marrying into the royal family, Empress Xia has devoted herself to the Third Prince. In order to make Zhu Xiaowei give up, she said on the day of her wedding: "The happiest thing in my life is to marry Your Highness."

After the third prince ascended the throne, more and more women entered the harem, especially Concubine Dun, who came from a wealthy family and was domineering. She had always been at odds with Queen Xia since she entered the palace. Queen Xia always abided by etiquette, did not fight or get jealous, but in the end she made a mistake and failed to keep her first child.

Later, Xiang Chengting was born. One year later, on the day when Marquis Dingsheng handed over the military power, Xiang Chengting was named the crown prince.

Later, the prince was deposed because of his curse and was driven out of the capital to guard the imperial mausoleum. For the sake of the prince, Queen Xia was willing to accept a cup of poisoned wine that would poison her lungs and body.

Zhu Xiaowei never married in his life. When he heard the news of Empress Xia's death, he resigned and retired.

Thinking of the things that happened to him, the emperor cursed for a long time and could not stand up. He looked at Xiang Chengting's cold eyes from afar, and suddenly a feeling of desolation surged into his heart.

He had promised that on our wedding night.

He said that he would protect her all his life and would not let her regret marrying him.

But she didn't know when it started, the queen's eyes became more and more indifferent, just like the way Xiang Chengting looked at her now, exactly the same.

He was afraid to hear her say the word regret even in his dreams. Dingsheng Hou had already handed over his military power. He always felt that only when she died would the panic in his heart disappear.

㰱Everyone said that he was deeply in love with the queen and that to him, it was just like he was acting in a play. But in the end, he fell into a nightmare and couldn't get out of it.

......

Here, General Dingguo Zhong Haoyu led his army back to the capital overnight. When he was entering the pass, he suddenly saw Tu Yufan standing in front of him, with several teams of soldiers behind him.

I had met him briefly at a party before, and I only knew that he was a member of the Crown Prince's party. I heard that his daughter had entered the East Palace and became the Crown Princess.

"Lord Jin." Zhong Haoyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

"Master Zhong, you were ordered to guard the border. Now you are leading troops into the capital without an imperial decree. This is disobeying the imperial order and is a serious crime of treason."

Zhong Haoyu snorted coldly: "Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has blocked the other princes from seeing the Emperor. It is obvious who has something to hide. This general has come to rescue the Emperor and let everyone see the Emperor. By the way, I will clean up the evildoers around him."

As he said this, he pulled out the gun from his back and stabbed Tu Yufan directly.

Tu Yufan responded calmly, and the two sides started fighting.

The fourth prince paced back and forth in the palace.

"Lan'er, didn't you say Yueyu would come at noon? Why is there no movement now?"

The Fourth Prince's wife also felt a little uneasy. The people guarding that checkpoint were the Fourth Prince's men and should not be stopped by anyone. Why was her father so slow in returning?

"Maybe something delayed me." She said uncertainly.

Suddenly someone came in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, please don't be sad. News has come from the palace that the emperor has passed away!"
