Gong Yunyang leaned against the edge of the bed, his body still weak, but that didn't mean his heart was also exhausted, unable to discern the calculations of others. On his pale face, his eyes were closed at this moment, just to hide the murderous intent that was emerging violently.

During the confrontation between Zong Zheng Xiaoting and the Queen Mother, he had already known that the Queen Mother had poisoned him. Now, the old matter was brought up again. Although he could not guess everything, he was 80% sure of what Situ Xunxiao was up to. The Crown Princess was not only rare for Gong Yunyang, but it seemed that Situ Xunxiao was also eager for her.

Now, what he saw was that the Queen Mother wanted to put Zong Zheng Xiao Ting to death, and she must want to put pressure on him as soon as possible to ensure that the princess would marry as soon as possible. These ministers were all important and loyal officials, but they were also fair and just. In other words, even he, the emperor, had to estimate the opinions of the ministers, and he, Situ Xun Xiao, would definitely have other moves next. Hum, this calculation was really meticulous.

The empress dowager came hurriedly accompanied by Concubine Jing. As soon as she stepped in, she heard the angry words and couldn't help frowning. Concubine Jing also looked at Situ Xunxiao. In her eyes, there was a lingering infatuation, which only stayed on Situ Xunxiao's face for a short time. Then she quickly forced herself to turn her gaze to the emperor. She had to compromise and hide her true feelings, which made her feel aggrieved. When Gong Yunyang raised his eyes, he met Concubine Jing's tearful eyes.

"Your Majesty, you scared me to death. Are you okay?" Seeing the emperor waving at her, Concubine Jing walked over quickly. Her aggrieved and choked voice gave people the illusion of deep affection.

"It's okay, but it would be hard to say if the princess wasn't here." Gong Yunyang patted Concubine Jing's hand and smiled gently.

The Queen Mother had just moved her lips but hadn't spoken yet when Situ Xunxiao spoke up, "Unfortunately, the person who poisoned the princess almost killed her. If the princess had been poisoned while escorting the emperor, it's very likely that the emperor would have been affected as well."

"Yes." A minister nodded.

"Whether the princess is a guard or not, Luozha Country and my Yunguang Country have always been on good terms. If the princess dies suddenly, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"Besides, it's well known that the princess is getting married and that she and Prince Zhan are in love with each other. I don't know if this person is doing this to sow discord or for some other reason." Another minister, who knew about the tension between the emperor and Prince Zhan, made a vague suggestion, implying that the person who did this had malicious intentions and wanted to use this to stir up discord between the emperor and Situ Xunxiao and intensify the conflict.

After several people looked at each other, they said in unison: "Your Majesty, there are two urgent matters that must be dealt with immediately!"

Gong Yunyang's eyes narrowed, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, please investigate the assassins. It is very likely that they are in cahoots with the poisoners. In addition, the marriage between the War King and the Princess cannot be delayed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please make a prompt decision."

"Is this the time to talk about this?" the Queen Mother shouted angrily, "The Emperor's body is already injured. Do you ministers understand what is..."

"Empress Dowager, this matter concerns the court and the country, it is not for the Empress Dowager to interfere. Moreover, as far as I know, if the Empress Dowager had not been unwell, the princess and the prince would have been married long ago. The monarch of Luozha Kingdom is already dissatisfied with this matter. Moreover, the late emperor had left a will that after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager shall not interfere in government affairs, nor shall she have the power to control all the brides and concubines in the harem. Please forgive me for offending you, but it is said that many of the Empress Dowager's actions since the princess arrived in Yunguang Kingdom have violated the original intention of the late emperor." The old minister had doubts in his eyes, but not too much respect.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at the people present and found that they were of the same mind and stood together. The empress dowager's face was very gloomy, but she had to endure it.

"What the ministers said is also what I want to say. Moreover, there have been rumors about the princess' current situation. If we allow it to continue to develop, I am afraid that it will only make our relatives sad and our enemies happy." While Situ Xunxiao was speaking, Chen Xianzhi also began to whisper instructions to Xiaohong about making the medicine.

His voice attracted the attention of others and also gave the Queen Mother a platform to divert her attention.

"The princess's injury?" Situ Xunxiao raised his eyebrows.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the others. As long as the princess follows the prescription and does not ingest any toxins, she will be safe and sound." Chen Xianzhi bowed his head. "But Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Situ Xunxiao sat next to Zongzheng Xiaoting, frowned slightly, and said, "Speak!"

"Yes! I am accompanying the princess as a bride. The emperor once told me that nothing is more important than the princess's safety. That's why I had to ensure her health before she entered the palace. That's why, even if she didn't like it, I still had to check on her every day. But now, the princess's body can't stand the torture, and it's even harder to ensure that she's safe in the palace. Please, Your Highness, take the princess back home." Chen Xianzhi said seriously, "If there's even the slightest mistake, even my ghost doctor master won't be able to save her!"

"Your Majesty!" Several ministers took the lead in urging.

Gong Yunyang's expression did not change much at this moment, but his hand, hidden under the quilt, was tightly clenched into a fist. Only Jing Fei knew his emotions. At this moment, his other hand was holding Jing Fei's tender hand with such force that Jing Fei frowned.

"Your Majesty, you should stay in the palace for the next few days so that the imperial physician can take good care of you. The astrological theory has been deciphered now. I believe Your Majesty will have a good plan. However, I am worried that General Lei's matter may involve a lot of people. If he has accomplices, it will be troublesome. Judging from Your Majesty's complexion, you must have not slept all night. Your Majesty, please tell the adults quickly and then go to rest." Well, I am really worried. Our prince has always been restless. Maybe he is worried." Concubine Jing looked worried. Although her words involved the court, it had to be said that it made people feel that everything was done for the emperor's sake. It did not cause any resentment among the ministers. Moreover, if they did not trust her, they would not have mentioned that the emperor should instruct them to deal with it. For a moment, they were in harmony.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Jing and couldn't help laughing secretly. How could a woman who was pregnant for more than two months have the anxiety of a child? This Concubine Jing was very good at lying. However, she was cautious. After she said that, the ministers naturally didn't dare to scold her. After all, the current emperor had no children, which meant that this woman had to endure it for the sake of the emperor's successor.

The smile arc at the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and the delaying tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west should not be underestimated.
