"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you being so hesitant?" said the emperor with some displeasure.

Shen Yuanan glanced at Qin Yanning and Shen Ziyu, then said with a determined heart, "I went to my grandparents' house yesterday afternoon. Yaoyao fell into the water in the garden. It was an emergency, and I was the one who rescued her."

"Although the matter has been suppressed, Yaoyao is still clamoring to marry me, even as a concubine."

The emperor held the queen's hand tightly and looked at Shen Yuanan unhappily.

"Yaoyao wants to marry you, what do you mean?"

Qin Yanning opened her beautiful eyes and waited for Shen Yuanan's answer. The relationship between the emperor's family and the Kong family was too complicated.

The Empress Dowager is from the Kong family, and Concubine Liang is also from the Kong family. If Shen Yuanan marries another member of the Kong family, he will not be afraid of giving birth to a child with cerebral palsy.

But now it seems that Shen Yuanan is already quite mentally handicapped. No wonder he is the product of inbreeding.

However, if Kong Zhiyao also married Shen Yuanan, the Seventh Prince's Mansion would probably be even more lively. Three women make a drama, and Shen Yuanan's three women are not simple.

Qin Yanning waited for the emperor's answer with great interest. Shen Ziyu sensed the restlessness of the people around him and reached out to hold Qin Yanning's hand.

The emperor glanced at Shen Yuanan standing in front of him and said, "Even if the queen said she wouldn't interfere in your marriages, this matter should be brought up by your mother."

Shen Yuanan rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking, "That's only if you like my mother. I'm afraid you'll be furious if she mentions marrying a daughter of the Kong family."

Shen Yuanan apologized repeatedly, "Mother, you think she is just a concubine. There is no need to mobilize a large force. Let me come and talk to you myself."

The emperor grabbed the plate of dessert on the small table beside him and threw it at Shen Yuanan, who was so scared that he took several steps back.

The emperor said angrily, "You really listen to your mother. Since you want to marry Kong Zhiyao, then you can marry her. It would be best if you bring all the daughters of the Kong family into your house. Only then will your mother and she be happy!"

"Get out of here! You're going to marry Kong Zhiyao tonight. If that's the case, I'll destroy the Kong family!"

Shen Yuanan was shocked by the emperor's sudden attack, and for a moment he didn't know whether the emperor was speaking in a serious or sarcastic way.

Finally, it was the Queen who spoke up, "Seventh Prince, since His Majesty has approved it, you may withdraw first. Everything will be done according to your father's instructions."

Only then did Shen Yuanan retreat in shame.

Qin Yanning looked at the emperor's face, which had turned red with anger, feeling somewhat confused and somewhat understanding.

Shen Ziyu knew that Qin Yanning didn't know the details, so he patted her hand and whispered, "Go back and listen to what you have to say slowly."

The emperor drank a glass of warm water and regained some of his composure. He looked at Qin Yanning and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, the Regent Princess."

Qin Yanning quickly said no. Although she had enjoyed watching the show just now, she didn't dare to say what was in her heart.

The emperor took Shen Ziyu aside to chat for a while about the matters at court before letting the newlyweds go back to rest.

Qin Yanning and Shen Ziyu had just stood up to leave when they heard the Queen's exclamation.

Shen Ziyu and Qin Yanning turned around and saw the emperor spitting out a large pool of black blood. His face was as pale as gold paper and he fell into the arms of the queen.

Seeing that the emperor had fainted, Shen Ziyu quickly helped to lay him down, and sent the emperor's eunuch to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician.

"You can say that it's my princess who's unwell and has fainted in Daming Palace. Quickly call the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital and bring some skilled doctors over."

The eunuch rushed out at a trot after receiving Shen Ziyu's order. Shen Ziyu then looked at Qin Yanning and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but His Majesty's current physical condition should be kept secret from the outside world."

Qin Yanning said that he didn't care, and the queen looked at Qin Yanning gratefully and thanked him.

Although it was just a small matter, it was never a good omen for a bride to be accused of fainting on the second day of her wedding.

She didn't expect Qin Yanning to be so open-minded.

Shen Ziyu didn't have time to talk to Qin Yanning, and left her in the room to accompany the queen and the fainted emperor. He then went to order the internal guards of the Daming Palace and mobilize the personal guards of the Regent's Palace.

Qin Yanning was also confused at this time.

Originally, she thought that the poison that killed Shen Ziyu was given by the emperor. After all, since ancient times, there has been no true brotherhood in the imperial family.

When the late emperor was alive, he loved Shen Ziyu very much. Before his death, he gave Shen Ziyu the power of 100,000 troops in Nanchuan.

Which emperor could tolerate his brother holding great power?

Therefore, Qin Yanning reasonably guessed that it was the emperor who poisoned Shen Ziyu.

Shen Ziyu has lost his ability to reproduce, so even if he holds military power, it is useless. The next generation of military power will have to be returned to the hands of the emperor's descendants.

In addition, he was diligent and hardworking, so the emperor even let him work for him for free.

Qin Yanning guessed that the emperor must be thinking, what's the big deal if Shen Ziyu takes charge of the empire first? Even if he conquers the empire, there will be no one to inherit it.

But today, when Qin Yanning saw Shen Ziyu's panic when the emperor fainted, she always felt that Shen Ziyu really had affection for the emperor.

Qin Yanning believed in Shen Ziyu. He knew that the reason why he could sit firmly and well in the position of regent was that he had the ability.

Since he trusts and cares about the emperor, it is highly likely that the emperor was not the one who poisoned him.

If it wasn't the emperor, who else could it be? Qin Yanning couldn't think of it for a moment.

Qin Yanning was just thinking about this when the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed in with several imperial physicians.

After several imperial doctors took the emperor's pulse, they unanimously decided to use acupuncture to reduce the emperor's high fever.
