What was she thinking when she was silent? Realizing that he was actually caring about her, the emperor felt even more disgusted and turned around to leave.

As soon as the emperor left, Xiya ran in and said, "Mother, why is the emperor gone?"

"He probably wants to leave." Xiao Zhen said.

Xi Ya was stunned for a moment, what kind of answer was this: "Did the empress stay?"

"No."

"Why didn't you stay?"

"If he wants to stay, he will of course stay. If he doesn't want to stay, what should I do with him?" Xiao Zhenqi asked.

Xiya opened her mouth slightly and looked at her queen in disbelief: "My queen, of course you want to stay, he is the emperor, he is the emperor."

"If I leave him like this," Xiao Zhen sighed, "What's the point?"

Xiya said anxiously: "Mother, of course this makes sense."

"What's the point?"

"If the emperor stays and is lucky enough for the empress, the empress may become pregnant with the little prince. Once the little prince is born, he will definitely be the future prince, so that the empress will have a foothold in the harem."

Xiao Zhen thought for a while: "It makes sense."

Of course it makes sense, but what's going on with the empress being so motionless? Xi Ya jumped up and down anxiously: "Then the empress should hurry up and chase the emperor?"

"There's no need to go." Xiao Zhen sat down and looked at the brittle bamboo branches swaying in the wind outside the window and said calmly: "I know he doesn't like me. I have devoted myself to him for ten years and I don't want to let myself go."

It was with such regret when I was about to leave that I broke up this marriage."

Xi Ya didn't understand what the Queen was saying. "Actually, I wanted to marry him just because I wanted to marry him." At that moment, the fear and disgust for her in his eyes really hurt her, and when he stabbed her with a sword without hesitation,

waist, she suddenly wanted him to know her affection and her daughter's pregnancy. At that moment she decided to marry him,

This was the wish she had always held in her heart.

Xi Ya still didn’t understand, what does it mean to leave? It sounds like the empress means leaving: “Where are you going, empress?”

"Go back to your hometown to farm."

Xiya: ""She may be a little tired today and there may be something wrong with her ears. Why can't she understand what the empress said?

Xiao Zhen didn't lie. In fact, she knew in her heart that the emperor had no love for her. It was her ten years of obsession that made her determined to marry the emperor that day. She just gave herself a chance.

That's it. It's been two years. If the emperor really liked her, he should have liked her long ago.

After letting Xi Ya go down, Xiao Zhen took off the complicated hairpin beads on his head and threw them aside. He tied his hair into a simple bun with a rope, took off the silk clothes on his body, and took something he often wore.

Wearing casual clothes and even wearing a belt, he jumped up to the roof of the palace and looked at the brightly lit emperor.

palace.

The cool night breeze is soothing.

It took her eight years from a little soldier to become a general. In the tenth year, she left behind her identity as a general and became the empress of the world. Her achievements in the first eight years were hers.

It was fought with bloody battles, but the past two years have been a bit sad.

It's her, but it's not her.

"It would be nice if there was wine." Xiao Zhen murmured, stood up and flew towards the imperial dining room.

The starry sky was clear and the night wind was blowing. Xiao Zhen was wearing a large robe with wide sleeves fluttering under the night wind. In a blink of an eye, she had arrived in a small garden, which was connected to the imperial dining room not far away.

Just as Xiao Ling was about to jump off the rockery, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two palace attendants lighting lanterns and leading two men from the front, rushing towards the Jinfei Palace.

Xiao Zhen tightly locked one of the men in white clothes. It was none other than the current Prime Minister Han Ziran. He was dressed in casual clothes and it seemed that he had come in from outside the palace. The other man beside him was about fifty years old.

, and he was carrying a big box on his back, and he didn’t know who it was.

Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows, wondering what the Prime Minister was doing in the palace late at night? And he entered the palace through such a small road. He had a special order from the emperor, and he could enter the palace whenever he wanted. And with this look,

Could it be that he sneaked into the palace?

Xiao Zhen thought for a while and followed closely behind.

Passing through this remote small garden, these people headed towards the Jinxiu Palace next to the Imperial Study Room.

Xiao Zhen was slightly surprised. Could it be that he really went to Jinfei Palace? Is there something wrong at such a late hour?

Sure enough, after a while, Han Ziran took the middle-aged man directly into the Jinfei Palace. The maids in the palace seemed to have known that they were coming, and were not surprised and even led them to the inner palace.

Is it possible that Concubine Jin and the Prime Minister...

Xiao Zhen shook his head, thinking it was impossible. He jumped into the Jinxiu Palace, thought about it, walked around in a circle and went directly to Concubine Jin's bedroom.

There were several palace maids guarding the palace, either carrying basins or twisting sweat towels, looking very busy.

Concubine Jin choked up and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief from time to time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here with the doctor." A palace maid hurriedly came in to report.

Doctor Xiao Zhen's doubts became deeper and deeper. After a while, he saw the palace maid leading Han Ziran and the middle-aged man carrying a medicine box in.

"Stop saluting and go see how the prince is doing." Concubine Jin said to the doctor.

Only then did Xiao Zhen notice that there was a little person lying on Concubine Jin's bed, that is, the current prince, Si Qi, who had just turned three months old.

Is the prince sick? Xiao Zhen frowned, why didn't he hear the palace maid talk about such an important matter?

"Brother Ziran, thank you." Concubine Jin said to Han Ziran while wiping away her tears.

"Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince will be fine." Han Ziran's cold voice remained the same: "It's just that the Crown Prince's illness is of great concern. No matter what the outcome is, we must tell the Emperor."

"I know. If she is really the one who poisoned me, I will definitely not be able to spare her." Concubine Jin said sternly.

Poisoned? The prince was poisoned? Xiao Zhen frowned more and more.

At this time, the doctor had finished diagnosing the prince's pulse, knelt down in front of Concubine Jin and said, "Jin Concubine, your highness is indeed poisoned, and judging from the direction of his pulse, he has been poisoned for three months."

Concubine Jin murmured: "Three months? Three months, so she took action on the day I gave birth to Qi'er?"

"Impossible." Although Han Ziran's voice was cold, there was no room for doubt.

Concubine Jin was stunned: "Brother Ziran, why do you believe her?"

At this moment, the maid on the side suddenly shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is having sex again."

Xiao Zhen looked around, and sure enough, he saw the little man on the bed clenching his fists, his face red, his eyes rolling outward from time to time, and his originally cute appearance became very scary.

"Come here, call the imperial doctor." Han Ziran said to the palace maid.

"No," Concubine Jin said in a trembling voice, "What if the imperial doctor is also hers?"

"I told you, she is not that kind of person." Han Ziran said firmly.

Concubine Jin was startled for a moment. Since she met Brother Ziran, this was the first time she saw Brother Ziran defending someone like this, and this person was...

"Who?" the palace maid suddenly exclaimed.

A shadow flashed past, and the person was already at the prince's bedside. His black hair was simply tied into a bun, and he only wore a simple middle coat. He stood tall and straight in front of everyone.

Xiao Zhen coldly glanced at everyone and put his hand on the prince's pulse.

"Emperor, Queen?" The maids were all shocked and all knelt down.

Concubine Jin looked pale. She didn't know why the empress would suddenly appear in her palace. Seeing that she was about to touch her son, she screamed in fear and ran over to pull her away. She didn't want to get close to the empress.

Qi suddenly came out of the queen and knocked her away.

"It's ridiculous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so seriously ill, and you didn't even call the imperial doctor to see him. Concubine Jin, are you out of your mind?" Xiao Zhen looked at Concubine Jin with a sullen face. This woman who has always been willful and arrogant, actually did this to the Crown Prince.

He is also so willful in matters.

Concubine Jin was still shocked that the force that had just been suddenly released from Xiao Zhen blocked her breath, when she heard Xiao Zhen say coldly to Han Ziran: "The Prime Minister has always been steady, why is he so confused about this matter?

"

Han Ziran glanced deeply at Xiao Zhen with his cold eyes: "That's what the Queen said."

"You don't need to pretend to be kind, don't touch the prince." Concubine Jin went to pull Xiao Zhen again, but before she could pull her, her hand was held by Xiao Zhen. Concubine Jin struggled hard: "Let me go, Xiao Zhen, it's you
