Wei Hanzhang was a little shocked.

Before, she only knew about the emperor's ruthless tactics when he was in power from what others said, but the two times she met him, he treated her quite warmly.

Even though Xiao Junzhan even drew the life-threatening Gu for her that day, the emperor did not say a single harsh word to her except asking her to kneel a little longer.

But at this moment, she finally experienced the emperor's ruthlessness.

The little girl looked frightened. Xiao Junzhan tightened her wrist and told his attendants to clean up the body. He then instructed them, "Wait here for a while."

Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly.

Inside was the emperor's bedroom, and as the future daughter-in-law, it was indeed not appropriate for her to enter without being summoned.

Not long after Xiao Junzhan entered, several imperial doctors hurried over and bowed to Wei Hanzhang when they passed by.

She waited in the outer hall for a long time, until dusk fell, and then the people inside came out.

Wei Hanzhang stood up and went over to greet him, "What's going on?"

Xiao Junzhan held her hand, got on the imperial sedan chair and returned to Changji Palace, where he briefly explained what had happened on the way.

After learning that the two princes were imprisoned in the inner court, Concubine Xian immediately issued an imperial decree ordering the inner court to release them.

She holds the Phoenix Seal, and the inner court has always followed her instructions over the years. But this time, even the chief steward of the inner court, Eunuch Yu, has fallen, so of course no one will listen to her anymore.

There was nothing that Xian Fei, who had been immersed in the harem for many years, didn't know about the changes in the people below.

The plot to murder the Crown Princess has been exposed. Given the Crown Prince's love for the daughter of the Wei family, he was willing to kill even his own niece.

What good end could there be for the three of them, mother and son?

The Crown Prince has too much power, and the only one who can save them is the Emperor.

She dressed up and asked for an audience.

He had made some preparations over the past few days, but he was still furious after she personally petitioned.

He had been looking forward to the prince getting married for so many years, and finally met a wife he liked and was willing to marry. However, these people were desperate and were still thinking about the adoption, hoping that the prince would have no descendants.

If he couldn't bear to see his prince do well, then he couldn't bear to see him do well! As for the other two sons, they were only in their teens, without any troops or power, what could they think of? Wasn't it all instigated by this vicious woman?

The virtuous concubine was eager to die, so the emperor of course spared her life without any hesitation.

He hated this vicious woman for sowing discord among his sons without even giving them any respect. He directly gave them poisoned wine in the hall in front of many palace maids and eunuchs, causing them to die of abdominal pain.

From the time Concubine Xian drank the poison until her death, she knew that her family had been implicated and she would probably not escape death. She was so disheartened that she cursed the emperor for being mean and ungrateful.

He also revealed that Princess Changle had been poisoned for many years and would not live long.

The emperor was unaware that his eldest daughter had been poisoned. Upon hearing the news, he became so angry that he spit out blood and fainted.

His already frail body was severely damaged.

When I woke up again, half of my body was unable to move.

Although I was weak before, at least I could live and speak normally.

But now...

The imperial physician said that he had a stroke due to anger and half of his body was paralyzed and his words were unclear.

In addition, His Majesty's foundation is weak to begin with, so it is unlikely that he can recover to his previous condition.

Xiao Junzhan was raised by the emperor himself and had a deep affection for his father. No matter how cruel and ruthless his father was, he truly loved him. How could he not be worried?
