At this time, Concubine Mu was holding a sword and holding a guard hostage.
The queen stared at Concubine Mu and scolded her coldly, but she didn't expect that the other party smiled up to the sky and immediately retorted.
"Who is it that wants to stir up trouble, me or the Queen? Everyone here should be the Queen's people. Doesn't the Queen dare to tell the truth?"
"presumptuous!"
The queen angrily scolded Concubine Mu, but she also knew that her words were not convincing. However, now the concubine was holding a knife in the palace, which was enough to get rid of her.
"Stop talking nonsense. I won't fall for your tricks. Come here, the imperial concubine has attacked someone with a knife in the palace. The imperial physician has diagnosed her as insane and ready to hurt others at any time. Pass on my order to shoot her immediately!"
The imperial concubine watched everything in front of her coldly. She knew that she couldn't escape at this moment. It was a pity that she hadn't seen her daughter yet.
At this critical moment, the eldest prince hurried over.
"stop!"
After the eldest prince felt it, he looked at the imperial concubine in surprise. He didn't expect that she had the ability to rush out. He really underestimated the people of the Mu family.
Seeing that the eldest prince was helping the imperial concubine again, the queen couldn't help but look a little dissatisfied.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, you repeatedly speak up for the Imperial Concubine. What is your real intention? Are you trying to disobey me?"
The eldest prince looked at her worriedly. The imperial concubine couldn't turn against him so quickly at this moment, but fortunately she had made preparations in advance.
"My dear mother, I am not here to speak for the Imperial Concubine, but my father has woken up and wants to see her!"
The Queen almost thought she had misheard and excitedly stepped forward to ask, "What did you say? How could His Majesty be awake?"
After she said this, the queen felt something was not right. She should not have such an attitude when the emperor woke up.
So he immediately softened his tone and tried to make amends with a hint of concealment.
"I am just surprised. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would wake up so soon after being seriously ill for so many days. Now, how is Your Majesty? I want to see you immediately!"
After saying this, the queen hurried to see the emperor and didn't even bother to shoot the imperial concubine.
The queen had left, and the person with the highest status at the scene was the eldest prince, so the eldest prince ordered his men to release the imperial concubine and take her with him. On the way there, he also informed the imperial concubine of what had happened during this period.
When the queen hurried over, she saw the emperor lying on the bed with a weak face, taking ginseng soup mouthful by mouthful.
He just didn't say a word for a long time, like a puppet with his eyes open.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects. I heard that Your Majesty has recovered, so I hurried here to see you. Is Your Majesty doing well?"
The emperor did not say anything, but only asked the eunuch beside him to convey the message.
"Empress, please don't stay here any longer. His Majesty just spoke a few words and is now weak and needs to rest."
But the queen didn't believe it. Didn't the emperor have to wake up? What did he mean by not saying anything?
But she did see the queen taking the ginseng soup and sitting there with her eyes open.
"What do you mean by that? Your Majesty and I have been married for many years. Just because Your Majesty is suffering from a serious illness, can I not see or ask about it?"
The eunuch was helpless. In fact, the emperor was not awake at all. He just used the poisonous insect to make him look awake.
But she has been in the harem for many years and served in front of the emperor, so her psychological quality is naturally unmatched by others.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician is the only one who best understands His Majesty's current health condition. I will answer as the Imperial Physician says."
"I know that the Empress is worried about His Majesty, but since she is worried, she should prioritize the Emperor's health. Now that the imperial court and the harem are relying on you, you shouldn't be focusing on this!"
The eunuch was also a smart person. She knew what was more important to the queen at this time.
The emperor woke up faster than expected. The queen knew that the emperor fell asleep only because he had taken too much Wu Shi San.
Sooner or later, you will wake up, but after waking up, people will make some choices that go against their conscience because of their dependence on drugs.
But it is not as convenient as being the only one in power, so he has to control the front court and the harem as much as possible before the emperor wakes up completely.
"Grand Eunuch, you have served His Majesty for many years. I heard that you grew up in the palace. I'm sure you've seen and heard a lot of things that happen there, right?"
The chief eunuch smiled slightly and knelt on the ground hurriedly.
"Whatever the Empress says I know, I know. Now that I know, I know how to make a decision."
"Well said, then tell me whether His Majesty is awake or not!"
"Your Majesty, please hurry up. His Majesty has awakened, but you are still needed to make decisions regarding matters concerning the front court and the harem."
This was almost all she had to say, and the queen was very satisfied with the eunuch's attitude, so she left happily.
Doctor Wen and Xiaochun, who were hiding inside, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the Queen leave. Xiaochun, in particular, felt her legs go limp and she sat down on the ground.
"Master, listen to this sound. Is the Queen gone?"
Doctor Wen pulled Xiaochun up and spoke with a hint of disgust.
"Why are you so scared, little girl? Didn't the chief eunuch tell you? He'll take care of everything!"
Xiaochun couldn't help but complain in her heart. Doctor Wen was shaking a lot just now. If he hadn't been sitting, he would probably be worse off than herself.
However, due to the relationship between master and disciple, Xiaochun did not reveal it.
After the queen went out, she saw the eldest prince and the imperial concubine kneeling in front of the door. Thinking that the emperor was not fully conscious yet and was clamoring to see the imperial concubine, the queen couldn't help but feel more hatred in her heart.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, I have already seen His Majesty. His Majesty has not yet fully awakened, and it is not good for him to be around. It would be too much for someone to disturb you. It is better to send the concubine back!"
The eldest prince smiled slightly. His goal had been achieved anyway. However, seeing the imperial concubine suffering so much, he wondered if Mu Chan would come and scold him later.
"What mother said is true. However, the Imperial Concubine is the head of a palace after all. It's not good to keep her in the inner court. Those servants under her are not careful with their actions. If something goes wrong and someone gets hold of your mother's handle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your mother to do things next!"
When the imperial concubine learned that her daughter was safe, she was ready to return to the prison, but she did not expect that the eldest prince would speak for her.
But since the other party has good intentions, you might as well bear it.
"Your Majesty, don't forget that even if the Mu family arrives, the people's hearts will not fall. You have been a virtuous queen for so long, and you don't want to be accused of jealousy at this most critical moment!"
The queen's face was almost distorted with anger. It was indeed better to have less trouble than more at this moment.
So she didn't say much, just flicked her sleeves and left. After all, there was still a long time to deal with her, so there was no need to cause trouble for herself.
