Night In Qiantai Palace Palace maids were carrying basins of water and running around anxiously.
After a long while, the palace finally quieted down, and a weak voice asked, "Is my condition serious?"
As the voice fell, the imperial physician beside him was suddenly shocked and knelt down.
"We have done our best. Your Majesty has delayed for too long. In addition, the arrow is poisonous and it is inevitable that some of the poison will flow due to the bumps..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you about my situation."
"…Your Majesty has been seriously injured this time. If the situation is good, you still have two to three years to live. If the situation is bad, you will only have half a year at most."
Silence, and still silence. Just when the imperial doctors were about to be overwhelmed by the pressure, Li Kuo said softly, "Okay, everyone go down."
At this moment, several imperial doctors felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off their face, and quickly stood up, bowed and left.
"Defa, how do you think I should execute my son?"
Wang Defa hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this is your family affair. I don't know what to say."
"But after all, the prince is still your son, and this is all I can say."
Upon hearing this, Li Kuo forced a smile.
"Yes, after all, he is my only son and the only son who can inherit the throne."
At the same time, Li Xiuzhu's body suddenly shook after he digested the internal energy of those people.
He didn't expect that in the end, this amount equivalent to that of two first-rate masters could actually help him enter the world of nobility.
Feeling the strong internal strength and yin and yang energy in his body, Li Xiuzhu seemed to have a feeling that the world was so big that he could roam freely.
But before he could feel happy, Li Wuwei's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"General, the Queen and the Empress are clamoring to return to the palace, and want you to go meet them."
Li Xiuzhu frowned upon hearing this, but then relaxed.
"Come on, lead the way!"
When Li Xiuzhu and Li Wuwei arrived in front of the emperor's tent, they could still see people from both sides confronting each other.
One side is the queen's people, and the other side is the guards.
When they saw Li Xiuzhu and the other two coming, the Queen's men immediately stopped working.
"My Lord, look at your people. They actually dared to stop the Queen from returning to the palace."
"How did you manage to control it? This is an offense to the Queen!"
Li Xiuzhu walked over without stopping and slapped the eunuch on the face, shocking everyone.
Even the queen looked at Li Xiuzhu in surprise and doubt.
"You dare to hit me?"
Li Xiuzhu slapped the other person in the face without saying a word.
"It's not your turn as a servant to speak on the master's affairs."
As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu came before the queen.
"Mother, it's not that I don't want you to return to the palace. It's the order of His Majesty. I should have asked the guards to convey it before."
Li Liuli is his wife, so it is normal for him to call her mother.
When the queen heard Li Xiuzhu's address, she became a little bolder.
"That's true, but I heard that His Majesty was injured. How can I just sit here and wait?"
"Xiuzhu, can you help me and send me back to the palace?"
Li Xiuzhu shook his head upon hearing this.
"I may be able to help with other things, but I really can't help with this. There might be assassins in this camp. If you follow the crowd, I can't bear the responsibility."
Upon hearing this, the Queen frowned and looked at Li Xiuzhu with empty eyes.
"You really won't help?"
“I really can’t help with this!”
The queen looked at Li Xiuzhu deeply and said, "Come in with me."
After saying that, the queen entered the emperor's tent. Seeing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at the queen deeply and followed her in.
In addition, the father-in-law who was slapped by Li Xiuzhu also followed in.
He is Liu Xi, the Queen's confidant and mouthpiece.
As soon as she entered, the queen sat on the dragon couch.
The queen said with dignity: "You are Liuli's husband, and we are also a family. We should help each other."
"Your Majesty is seriously injured and in danger. If bad news comes from the palace at this time, if I am outside the palace, I may be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
"If someone else ascends the throne, the prince's party will certainly be eradicated. Do you think you can stay out of it?"
"Besides, since you have been obstructing me like this, aren't you afraid that the Crown Prince will punish you after he ascends the throne?"
"Do you think that if Liuli marries you, you can control me at will?"
"It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but it's not hard to find a two-legged man. At worst, I can find a consort for Liuli."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Xiuzhu smiled upon hearing this, and his smile was meaningful.
You actually threatened me? I hate threats the most in my life.
Looking at the queen who was in her early thirties, Li Xiuzhu said calmly: "If the queen doesn't want to send the prince on his way, it's better for her to stay here."
The queen's face changed immediately when she heard this. The prince was everything to her, so how could she not lose her composure at this moment?
"Are you threatening me?"
Li Xiuzhu sneered and said, "Don't make random accusations. I'm just being honest."
Li Xiuzhu called her "Queen", which was obviously a title of equal status and immediately made Liu Xi's face change.
"Prince Consort, how can you talk to the Queen like that? Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty and punish you for disrespect?"
Li Xiuzhu ignored Liu Xi and looked at the queen and said, "If you want your son to die, then go ahead. I can ask the guards to make way for you."
After saying this, Li Xiuzhu turned around and was about to leave, but before he stepped out of the emperor's tent, he heard the queen's doubtful voice.
"Stop, what do you mean by that?"
Li Xiuzhu looked back at Liu Xi and said calmly, "Get out."
"you……"
Just when Liu Xi wanted to say something, the queen's voice rang out.
"Liu Xi, go out and keep an eye on the emperor's tent. No one is allowed to approach within three feet."
Liu Xi's momentum suddenly dropped.
"promise!"
Seeing Liu Xi leave, the Queen immediately asked impatiently: "Can I tell you now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu did not speak in a hurry, but walked behind the queen as she became increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly a hand grabbed the queen's shoulder.
"big……"
Before he could say the word "courage", he heard Li Xiuzhu say softly, "My queen, you don't want the prince to die, do you?"
Li Xiuzhu continued, "Does your Majesty know who assassinated your Majesty?"
The queen's whole body was stiff and her brain seemed to react more slowly.
After a long while, he asked quietly, "How do I know who he is?"
"Since I told you, it's naturally related to you."
The queen was startled at once, her mind became much clearer, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
"You mean, the prince?"
"What else?" Li Xiuzhu sneered and continued, "Except for your son, who else can mobilize the Sixteen Guards of Kyoto to cooperate?"
"You thought the shouting and killing just now was from the guards and the criminals? Wrong, it was the guards and the rebels."
