Ge Ben was unable to hide the news of Prince Jing's return to the capital from the well-informed Empress, who was discussing state affairs with Long Lingxun at that time.

She has always been a strong woman, and a woman who is not bound by the three obediences and four virtues. The reason why she was able to endure in the harem for many years was because she really had a deep love for Emperor Nan Shao.

Emperor Nan Shao at that time was like a god in her heart. However, after so many years, Emperor Nan Shao was always cold to her.

The Queen finally had enough of this indifference, and she turned all her unrequited love into anger. She had been planning a big event to let Emperor Nan Shao see the price of not loving her.

Since Emperor Nan Shao doesn't love her, she will seize his imperial power and drive him off the throne.

At this time, the Queen was sitting on a phoenix chair, gently fiddling with the nail polish on her nails, and looking at Emperor Nan Shao lying on the hospital bed with raised eyebrows.

"I heard that your son is coming back, but unfortunately, he didn't bring back the person you wanted. Your favorite Concubine Chen will never come back."

Queen Hang had been enduring for a long time beside Emperor Nan Shao, and the reason why she acted so decisively in a short time was because she learned that Emperor Nan Shao had actually sent Long Moshun to look for Concubine Chen in the snowy area.

"It's a pity, your Concubine Chen hates you to death. She will never come back in this lifetime."

The Queen curled her lips coldly and looked at Emperor Nan Shao: "What happened twenty years ago was planned by me. Your Concubine Chen will never come back. She hates you deeply. Long Moxun, whom you favor wholeheartedly, is just using you as a springboard. He doesn't care about your life or death at all."

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in the Queen's eyes, and then Emperor Nan Shao, who was lying on the hospital bed, struggled to get up. He opened his eyes and looked at the Queen fiercely.

"What did you say? You said that you designed that thing?"

"That's right. I just want to see you wrongly accuse Concubine Chen. I just don't want to see you doting on Concubine Chen so much. So, I sent her to the ice and snow to let her suffer. Even if Concubine Chen doesn't freeze to death in the ice and snow now, I'm afraid she's living a very miserable life. All her suffering is caused by you."

The Queen's cold eyes swept over Emperor Nan Shao, and seeing the despair in his eyes, she suddenly felt in a good mood, with a sense of pleasure of revenge.

Outside the door, the voice of Prince Jing asking for a meeting was heard. The Queen looked at Emperor Nan Shao coldly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh, your son is quite filial."

"Send him back and tell him that the emperor is not feeling well and cannot see anyone."

Emperor Nan Shao stared at the Empress with a cold gaze, "Empress, you are going to put him under house arrest."

"you......"

Emperor Nan Shao pointed at the Empress. Tortured by illness, his eyes showed his old age and were filled with loss.

How come he has raised an ungrateful person in these thirty years?

He thought he treated her well, but in the end, she and her son repaid him in this way.

Outside the house, Long Moxun listened to the imperial decree coming from inside the house. In a flash of his eyes, he was sure of one thing: the emperor had been placed under house arrest.

"Father, I have brought a miracle doctor to treat your illness."

Didn’t the Queen say that Emperor Nan Shao was seriously ill? He refused visits from other people, but he couldn’t refuse a miracle doctor.

When the queen heard the message, her face changed slightly and she said impatiently: "Palace Doctor Li, the emperor's condition has been controlled. There is no need to trouble the doctor."

Long Moxun insisted: "I heard that in the past month or so, no one has been able to cure father's illness. This is enough to prove that our imperial physician is useless. So, let's let the miracle doctor come and see father. If this delays father's illness, we, Tadpole, can't afford it."

Long Mosun conveyed this sentence directly to the Queen. The warning in his words made the Queen's already unhappy expression change even more.

She knew that Long Mosun was suspicious. Asking a miracle doctor to treat the disease was just a cover. He just came to find out the situation.

However, the current situation is that although the Queen is in the palace and holds the initiative, she cannot act arbitrarily. There are so many eyes watching them both in the palace and in the court.

They can't act rashly. If anything that happened today gets out without them being prepared, people will think that it was they, mother and son, who deliberately delayed the emperor's illness. They can't take the blame for this for the time being.

The queen said coldly, "Then tell him that the emperor is still resting, and let the web page and the doctor wait outside the door."

The Queen simply didn't want to let Long Mosun in, just to delay it for a while.

Long Mosun waited for two hours before he was able to meet Emperor Nan Shao. When he saw that the palace maids around Emperor Nan Shao had been replaced, he knew that his guess was true. The emperor was indeed under house arrest.

Long Mosun was under the surveillance of the Queen, so it was not convenient for him to pass on the message. However, before coming in, they had already bribed the servants in the Nanshao Palace to pass on the message through the servants. Even if the Queen wanted to prevent it, she could not.

When Emperor Nan Shao received the news, he felt much more at ease.

"What is the matter with Father's illness?"

Long Mosun didn't believe it. The Emperor of Nan Shao had always been in good health. How could he suddenly become so sick that he couldn't get out of bed? He didn't rule out the possibility that this was the Queen's conspiracy.

Doctor Sai stroked his gray beard and sighed, "Your Majesty, it's poisoning, and the antidote for this kind of poison is very difficult to prepare. However, I happen to have the antidote in my hand."

Long Moxun's face lit up with joy. Only then did he realize that his concern for Emperor Nan Shao came from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, from today on, you will take care of Father. In two days, I want Mother to pretend to be your medicine boy and meet Father. They really should have a good chat."

Doctor Sai was naturally happy to accept Long Moshun's preparations after seeing what happened. After all, curing illnesses and saving lives was his duty, no matter whether his patients were poor people or the king of a country.

The Queen and Long Lingxun's actions obviously accelerated. They were secretly downgrading their troops, preparing to seize the opportunity of Emperor Nan Shao's critical illness. Of course, they couldn't let Emperor Nan Shao die so quickly. The Queen had only one thing in mind, that is, Long Lingxun must ascend the throne legitimately. No matter what means they used, the final result would not change. In the capital, the situation changed overnight.
