Yao Guangyue couldn't hear anything at this moment until she saw Doctor Wen being hurriedly called into the palace. Only then did she quiet down for a while.
It’s a pity that the imperial concubine’s injuries are too serious. No matter how hard the hospital tries, they can only delay her condition for a while.
"Your Majesty, I report this to you sincerely. I have tried my best. Unfortunately, the Imperial Concubine is too seriously injured, and the dagger is poisoned. I am truly powerless to save her!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, staggered backward and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately the eunuch beside him quickly supported him.
"No, it's impossible. I have just reconciled with the Imperial Concubine. There is no way this could happen. You must rescue the Imperial Concubine for me no matter what."
The emperor was almost on the verge of collapse, and hurriedly summoned the Mu family into the palace.
Mu Lan arrived at the gate of the Imperial Concubine's Palace. When he saw the emperor, he rushed up and grabbed his collar, but was stopped by his father.
"You evil creature, what do you want to do to His Majesty? Take your dirty hands away!"
Although the emperor has shown favor to the Mu family, it does not mean that they can commit insubordination.
Mu Lan was just feeling sorry for his sister, and now after being scolded by his father, he could only shrink back helplessly.
General Mu took the initiative to step forward and apologize. At this time, he was no longer the majestic general who defended the country, but an old father who was about to lose his daughter.
"I, your Majesty, pay my respects to you. I, your Majesty, have offended you just now. I beg your forgiveness."
At this time, the emperor felt extremely bitter. After helping the old general up, he lowered his head in guilt.
"Old General, it's my fault. Now that the imperial concubine is in my harem, something like this actually happened. It's my fault!"
Both sides are admitting their mistakes now. Poor Yao Guangyue had just realized the value of family affection, but she is about to lose her mother.
[System, can you help me save my mother, the Imperial Concubine, who is about to die? She is also an important supporting character!]
The system sighed. It was helpless at the moment.
[System, please don't be dumb. Are you going to consume my Faith Points? I can exchange all my Faith Points for items. Can you help me save her?]
When everyone present heard Yao Guangyue pleading with the system pitifully to help save her mother, they all burst into tears.
At this moment, the imperial physician suddenly rushed out.
"Oh no! The Imperial Concubine is poisoned!"
Just this one sound made everyone in the palace tremble with fear.
At this time, Qin Xuezhen, who was far away in her own palace and listening to the news, was still wondering what had happened in the palace.
After some inquiries, they found out that there was an assassin in the palace and the imperial concubine was seriously injured. Now the imperial concubine was poisoned and she was afraid that she would not live long.
When Qin Xuezhen learned about the imperial concubine's situation, she couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, I never thought that this vicious woman would finally get her comeuppance for bullying me before."
Qin Xue was really happy here, but her system came out to cause trouble for her again.
[Reminder host, you have many unfinished tasks. If you do not continue to complete the tasks, the system will impose certain penalties on you.]
Qin Xuezhen smiled and put a dagger against her neck, then began to threaten the system.
"You already know there are outsiders in this world. If I die now, do you think the hero can make it to the end? The plot you've worked so hard to fix will be ruined, so I advise you not to bother me here."
The system felt threatened and didn't dare to make a sound, but unexpectedly, Tangxi Cheng suddenly appeared behind her.
[So this is how you force the system to stop harming you.]
Hearing the voice of Tangxicheng, Qin Xuezhen was shocked at first, then she turned around hurriedly and saw him in night clothes. She subconsciously rushed out to look for someone.
But Tang Xicheng was a martial artist after all, and he took control of her before her.
"You want to go out and find someone to arrest me, saying I'm an assassin? Dream on! Qin Xuezhen, think carefully. If I die now, you will be blamed!"
Qin Xuezhen frowned, glaring at the man in front of her and said unhappily, "You're an assassin now, and I'm a legitimate concubine. How would your death affect me? Are you trying to reveal our identities? Do you think people around you will believe you? If interests are at stake, do you believe Nie Ting'an would abandon you at the first opportunity?"
"That's true, but you also have to understand that the imperial concubine will die soon. It was us who did it. If this incident is brought to your head, we will all die together!"
Qin Xue really didn't expect that they would plot against her like this. After all the twists and turns, she was still under their control.
"What do you mean by that? Didn't we agree to cooperate temporarily, and then each of us will rely on our own abilities after the cooperation ends?"
Tang Xicheng knew that Qin Xuezhen had understood the situation, so he let her go.
"It all depends on your ability. You're right. Now, aren't we relying on our own abilities to make you obey us?"
In the end, Qin Xuezhen bowed her head, and the imperial concubine was declared dead the next day.
There was a moment of silence in the court, as everyone knew the importance of the Mu family to the entire Yaoguang Kingdom.
The emperor was heartbroken and soon fell seriously ill in bed, barely able to get up.
As for the small countries that came to participate in the Wanchao Conference, they all came up with other ideas after seeing this situation.
Especially Nie Ting'an, he hurriedly asked people to find the defense map hidden by the Wen family.
But they couldn't find where the Wen family hid the defense map no matter how hard they tried, and they were almost digging the place up deep.
At this time, Tang Xicheng thought of Qin Xuezhen's special abilities, so he suggested to Nie Tingan that Qin Xuezhen come and try.
"You're kidding me, right? There are so many of us who can't find it, can she do it alone?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This woman has her own special abilities. As long as she is willing, this thing will definitely be found."
There is no other way at the moment. The old emperor is seriously ill. After some inquiries, it is found that he may not live long. When the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be a time of transition. If they take advantage of this opportunity to start a rebellion, it will be a great opportunity.
So they had no choice but to agree, and soon they proposed to let their saint come back to pray for blessings from His Majesty the Yaoguang Kingdom.
Of course, no one paid attention to this matter. After all, the most important thing for them now was His Majesty.
In this way, Qin Xuezhen left the palace smoothly and was taken to the Wen family.
"What exactly do you want me to find?"
After she was brought out, she just said she was looking for something, but she had no idea what she was looking for.
"Behave yourself and help us find the defense map!"
Qin Xuezhen's eyes widened. She was looking for a defense map, but how could it be in the Wen family? Aren't they civil servants of the Prime Minister?
