In the Palace of Fushou and Longevity, Emperor Dingkang sat across from the bed, looking at the pale Queen Shen in a daze.

He never expected that the queen would look so haggard after not seeing her for just a few days!

Not only are her eye sockets sunken, her face pale, her lips bloodless, but she also has a few more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, making her look really older!

"Cough cough cough..."

A hoarse and heartbreaking cough sounded, causing Emperor Dingkang to come back to his senses after staring at Empress Shen in a trance.

"Is the queen in better health?"

He calmed down his emotions, showed some concern on his face, and stared at the weak-looking Queen Shen who was leaning on the bedside and asked.

"Thank you...Your Majesty for your concern..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Queen Shen, whose throat was choked by the thick smoke, endured the pain and answered hoarsely.

After saying that, she started coughing heartbreakingly again. After a while, Queen Shen was so exhausted that she couldn't even raise her eyes.

"There are no clues yet about the fire in Funing Palace. The queen is having a good time. I will have people investigate this matter carefully."

As Emperor Dingkang spoke, he carefully observed Queen Shen's reaction.

Don't blame him for being careless, it was so weird that he couldn't believe it!

There were no casualties in the fire in Funing Palace. Even the palace guards who kept watch at night could not remember anything about the time of the fire, as if they had lost their memory of this period of time out of thin air.

Moreover, only the main hall where the queen lived was burned down, and the side halls connected to the left and right were not affected.

Also, such a huge fire was inexplicably extinguished when it burned behind the queen!

There were strange fires everywhere, which made Emperor Dingkang have to think more about whether the queen had caused something.

And after he learned that the Song family made a big fuss in the Yunzong Mansion, he found out that Queen Shen was behind the incident, and he guessed a bit about the reason for it.

Therefore, Emperor Dingkang had a great opinion of Empress Shen.

But seeing that she was seriously ill, she didn’t say anything!

After being reminded by Emperor Dingkang, Empress Shen couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the fearful fire and the mysterious note.

"His Majesty……"

"Cough cough cough... Your Majesty, someone... wants to kill my concubine..."

"Please your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation... cough cough cough..."

Empress Shen, overwhelmed by fear, felt that the palace was full of dangers and she could be killed at any time.

She grabbed the quilt, endured the chattering of her teeth and begged Emperor Dingkang.

At this time, she didn't believe anyone, she only believed in her husband who was in front of her.

Just because he has enough power!

"Your Majesty... I beg you..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Empress Shen ignored the hoarseness of her voice and begged again despite the pain in her throat.

She is about to collapse!

I didn't dare to close my eyes, didn't dare to sleep, and didn't dare to let people take a step away from the bed. I could only stare at the top of the bed with my eyes open.

Even if she was weak, seriously ill, sleepy and exhausted, she would not dare to close her eyes!

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could clearly feel the helplessness and fear of being surrounded by scorching waves of fire.

She never wanted to experience the feeling of dying again!

"Have a rest, I will take care of this matter!"

With that said, Emperor Dingkang stood up and was about to leave.

"His Majesty……"

Suddenly, Queen Shen collapsed beside the bed and grabbed Emperor Dingkang's robe at his side.

The ticklish flesh on his waist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the corners of Emperor Dingkang's eyes twitched subconsciously, showing displeasure.

Several palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side were also startled by Queen Shen's sudden move.

After secretly glancing at Emperor Dingkang's face, they didn't dare to say anything, so they lowered their heads and huddled in place, not daring to move.

"What is the queen doing?"

Emperor Dingkang's face was full of displeasure, and he held back his anger and asked coldly.

Empress Shen, who was so frightened that she lost her mind and had not slept a wink all night, couldn't care less about looking at Emperor Dingkang's face at this time!

She didn't even notice that her actions at this time were so outrageous!

He just clutched the robe in his hand tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw and wouldn't let go.

"Your Majesty... you..."

"You stay with me, my concubine..."

Empress Shen, who has always shown herself to be dignified and dignified, actually behaved like this now!

Seeing that her eyes were red, her face was pale, and she was mentally disturbed, Emperor Dingkang's eyes flashed with disgust, and he stretched out his hand to pull on his robe, trying to break away from Queen Shen's entanglement.

But when Emperor Dingkang got started, he realized that he couldn't pull it.

"The queen is resting well, I still have things to do before the court."

Emperor Dingkang directly expressed his dissatisfaction and stared at Queen Shen coldly.

He thought that with such clear words, Queen Shen would definitely let go, but the truth was exactly the opposite!

Not only did Queen Shen not let go, she grabbed the robe even harder, lying on the bedside and looking up at Emperor Dingkang while panting.

"His Majesty……"

"Someone... wants to harm my concubine..."

"How about you accompany me... my concubine?"

"Concubine... I'm so scared..."

"They... will also set fire..."

"I will burn to death... my concubine..."

Empress Shen didn't even care about the fishy smell rising from her throat. She only held onto Emperor Dingkang and begged him. It was so humble and annoying, but she didn't notice it at all!

"Queen..."

Suddenly, Emperor Dingkang shouted loudly, trying to wake her up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

This angry shout brought Queen Shen back to her senses slightly, but she still showed no sign of letting go.

"If you have anything to do, just tell them, I still have state affairs to deal with!"

After staring into Empress Shen's eyes, Emperor Dingkang waited to be released.

However, Queen Shen was indifferent and just lay on the bedside staring at him in a daze.

Emperor Dingkang's patience was completely exhausted, so he grabbed Queen Shen's hand without hesitation, and opened it finger by finger.

After completely getting rid of Queen Shen's entanglement, Emperor Dingkang quickly retreated, then turned around and walked out without looking back.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing the back of Emperor Dingkang who had stepped out of the inner chamber, Queen Shen felt inexplicable panic, stretched out her hands and shouted.

"Ahem..."

This shout was accompanied by a mouthful of blood spurting out, and the person fainted completely.

"Empress...Empress..."

"The Queen..."

"Quickly tell the doctor..."

"..."

The panicked shouts and chaos coming from behind made Emperor Dingkang not stop at all, and even accelerated to walk out, his eyes full of disgust and indifference.

Stepping out the door, I saw Eunuch Guan waiting outside with a worried look on his face.

"What's the matter?"

After glancing at Eunuch Guan, Emperor Dingkang asked coldly, and walked straight out without stopping at all.

"Return to Your Majesty, something happened!"

Seeing that Emperor Dingkang looked very bad, Eunuch Guan also complained secretly in his heart, and his attitude became more respectful and courteous, for fear of being offended.

"There is news from outside the palace, saying..."

Eunuch Guan bowed and trotted behind Emperor Dingkang to report the news. Behind him were a group of guards not far or near. None of them dared to make a sound for fear of provoking the angry Emperor Dingkang and suffering disaster!

At this time, the capital city was also shocked by the sudden news!

I saw people chatting around the four city gate walls, the downtown area, and outside the palace wall.

Some yelled, some cried, some were silent, and some joined in the fun...
