My mind was spinning rapidly. Could it be that Li Heng also traveled through time? It couldn't be such a coincidence! But the tone of his question and the incomprehensible English made me suspicious!

놖 asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you...what's wrong with you?"

Li Heng seemed a little surprised when he saw that 놖 suddenly changed his tone. He relaxed 놖's chin, took a step back, and remained silent.

The moonlight filtered through the gaps between the branches, illuminating his extraordinarily handsome face, but I couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment.

"Your Majesty?" he called again, feeling even more uneasy.

Lee Hang did not answer 놖's question, and 놆꿯 asked, "What do you think of the crown prince...?"

Although she was confused by his irrelevant question, she still answered honestly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince... is wise and brave, and has a brilliant mind. He will surely become a wise ruler in the future."

Although she had no good feelings towards the hypocrite Li Chengqian, she was still able to come up with such words for this occasion.

After hearing 놖's answer, Li Heng suddenly laughed softly. There was a hint of sarcasm, self-mockery, and a sense of clarity in his laughter.

"A wise ruler?" He repeated his words, but his tone was full of bitterness, "ridiculous... really ridiculous..."

I was even more confused. What on earth was Li Heng trying to do? He called me out in the middle of the night, acting mysteriously, and now he was saying something incomprehensible. What was he up to?

"Your Majesty, I...I understand what you mean..." She spoke carefully, fearing that she would say something wrong and anger this moody emperor.

"You must understand." Li Heng suddenly stopped smiling, and his tone returned to its usual coldness. "I just want to tell you that people in the harem are unpredictable. You... must be more careful."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind only a lonely figure.

I stood there, watching him go away, feeling mixed emotions. What exactly does Li Heng mean? Is he warning me? Or... hinting at something?

놖 shook his head and put these messy thoughts behind him. The most important thing now was for 놖 to find out the cause of Li Chengqian's death and... Li Heng's true attitude towards 놖.

놖 took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As soon as I walked through the door, I heard a noise coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, please drive—"

The eunuch's shrill voice rang out, and he quickly dodged to the side.

Li Heng, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in hurriedly, with a concealed look of anxiety and worry on his face.

"Mother!" He walked to the bedside, held the Queen Mother's hand, and asked with concern in his tone, "How are you?"

The Queen Mother lay on the bed, her face pale, her lips bloodless, her eyes closed, and she showed no response.

"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!" Li Heng shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and treat the Queen Mother!"

A group of imperial doctors gathered around trembling with fear, taking the patient's pulse and performing acupuncture, working themselves into a sweat.

놖 hid in the dark, secretly observing the situation inside through the gap in the screen.

Li Heng's face was full of anxiety and worry. He held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, as if praying for something.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly felt a little sad.

Although this man appears to be cold and ruthless on the surface, he actually has a soft side.

He will also worry, be afraid, and feel sad and upset for the people he cares about.

At this moment, the Queen Mother's eyelids moved slightly. Li Heng saw this and quickly leaned over and asked softly, "Mother, are you awake? How do you feel?"

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. When her gaze fell on Li Heng, her originally empty eyes were instantly filled with sadness and pain.

"Your Majesty...Cheng Qianhe...Cheng Qianhe..." The Queen Mother spoke incoherently with trembling lips.

"Mother, you don't need to be excited. The imperial physician said that you are just too sad. You just need to rest for a while." Li Heng comforted her.

"Damn...Damn..." The Queen Mother shook her head and held Li Heng's hand tightly, her cloudy eyes filled with tears, "Cheng Qian...he died so tragically..."

"Mother!" Li Heng's face turned livid in an instant. He stood up suddenly and roared, "Who! Who killed the prince!"

His eyes were red, and he exuded a fierce murderous aura, like an enraged lion, which made people shudder.

My heart sank suddenly, and a foreboding feeling came over me.

Li Chengqian’s death was indeed not that simple!
