Emperor Jing Xuan frowned. He looked at the unconscious King Nanyang and then at the night outside the hall.

Why is the Empress Dowager here at this hour?

He asked coldly.

The few people in the room looked at each other. They were even more dumbfounded than His Majesty. The Empress Dowager had always slept early. She should have long entered a dream at this time. Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, Ill stop the Empress Dowager.

The two inner court experts also deftly hid him.

The Empress Dowagers phoenix carriage had already reached the door. Before the phoenix carriage could settle, the Empress Dowager couldnt wait to get down.

Empress Dowager, be careful! Eunuch Cheng helped the Empress Dowager up.

Make way, make way! The Empress Dowager hurriedly walked forward. Ignoring her age, she quickly entered Emperor Jing Xuans bedroom.

She saw the man being carried on a stretcher by two internal medicine experts and staggered over.

The inner court experts were caught red-handed. They were at a lost of what to do.

Eunuch Fu secretly cursed Eunuch Quan for being a coward. In such a situation, he should have risked his life to stop the Empress Dowager, even if it meant knocking into the sedan chair.

Eunuch Quan hid outside the hall and secretly peeped in.

At this point, it was useless to hide it anymore. Emperor Jing Xuan said to the two inner court experts, The two of you, guard outside.

The two of them left the sleeping hall.

Eunuch Quan immediately stood up and looked like he had done nothing.

The two of them closed the door and guarded it.

Only Emperor Jing Xuan, the Empress Dowager, Eunuch Fu, and the unconscious King Nanyang were left in the hall.

The Empress Dowager knelt beside King Nanyang.

King Nanyang was covered in blood. The Empress Dowagers tears fell from her heart, and her trembling hands did not know where to land. Shenger youre really still alive youre still alive..

She leaned on King Nanvanc and cried silently

Emperor Jing Xuan felt jealous. Recently, the relations.h.i.+p between the mother and son had eased a lot. He thought that his mother had him in her heart, but compared to his mothers current att.i.tude towards King Nanyang, he knew that his mothers love for him would never be as much as her love for King

Nanyang.

King Nanyang was the most important son in her heart.

He wasnt.

He was just a murderer who had killed her son.

Mother he said in a low voice.

Shut up! The Empress Dowager turned to look at him coldly with tears in her eyes. Hes your biological brother! How can you treat him like this? You hid it from me so bitterlyits not enough for you to kill him onceyou have to kill him a second timeif I didnt arrive in timehes already been killed by you again

Emperor Jing Xuan clenched his fists as the grievance in his heart turned into anger. Ever since we were young, whenever I and brother were injured, Mother would never ask for the reason and insist that I bullied my brother After so many years Mother is still as biased as ever!

The Empress Dowager held King Nanyangs hand tightly and sneered. Its fine if you dont admit. Tell me, where did you plan to let them take your brother just now?

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her holding King Nanyangs hand and was so angry that his blood surged. I wanted to ask how Mother found out about Big Brother. I havent sent anyone to inform Mother.

The Empress Dowager said coldly, Dont change the topic! Answer me! Emperor Jing Xuan did not speak.

A mother knew her son best. The Empress Dowagers heart turned cold. You really want to kill your brother, right?

Emperor Jing Xuan said, Will Mother believe me if I say that you were wrong?

The Empress Dowager mocked, What did you do to your brothers family ten years ago? Do you expect me to believe you?!

Emperor Jing Xuan said angrily, So whether I say it or not is wrong in

Mothers eyes!

He was so excited that he even changed his way of calling himself. Mother, do you know what your good son, whom youre so proud of has done all these years? He schemed to collude with the enemy to betray the country, harmed loyal people, colluded with the rebels, and committed all kinds of evil The Empress Dowager rushed over and slapped him.

The Empress Dowager was a biological mother, but she had no right to teach the emperor a lesson. This was against the rules.

However, the Empress Dowager was really furious. The anger that she had acc.u.mulated for many years erupted the moment she saw the seriously injured King Nanyang.

I wanted to give you this slap ten years ago. Your brother treated you as his biological brother and didnt fight for the throne. In the end, how did you treat your brother? Are you worthy of your brother? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of the previous emperor? You still have to add so many groundless, trumped-up crimes to your brother What is your heart made of?

Emperor Jing Xuan was so angry that his body trembled slightly and his eyes turned red. Mother, have you forgotten that Im also your son!

If the Empress Dowager had scolded him like this before tonight, he would at most be a little unhappy. However, after Wei Ting exposed King Nanyangs true colors, the Empress Dowagers unconditional bias towards him became a sharp knife that stabbed straight into his heart.

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Jing Xuan with hatred. Ten years ago, I couldnt protect your brother well. Its because Im weak and useless. This time, either you kill me too, or dont even think about touching a hair on your brothers head!

With that, the Empress Dowager called the palace servants to take King

Nanyang away.

Emperor Jing Xuan was so angry that he felt dizzy.

Your Majesty! Eunuch Fu quickly helped him sit down on the dragon bed and put a cloak on him. Its cold at night. Take care of your body. Dont be angry. The imperial physician said that you must take care of your dragon body and not be angry easily.

Tears flashed across Emperor Jing Xuans eyes. He laughed self-deprecatingly. This is my mother, my biological mother

Eunuch Fu did not dare to answer.

On the other side, King Nanyang was placed in the side hall of the Eternal Life

Palace.

Eunuch Cheng said, Ill invite the imperial physician.

The Empress Dowager said coldly, Hmph, the imperial physicians in the palace are all the emperors men. I dont trust them. Take my token and leave the palace to get Qin Su to come over.

Eunuch Cheng agreed. Yes.

At the Protectors Estate, Sikong Yun looked at the bag on the table and then at

Qin Canglan, who was standing at the door. Are you really going to let me go?

Qin Canglan said angrily, If I dont let you go, will I raise you for nothing for the rest of your life? You look quite thin but have eaten a lot!

Sikong Yuns teeth hurt.

He tentatively picked up the bag on the table and took a few steps out.

Qin Canglan really did not stop him.

He crossed the threshold and turned to Qin Canglan. Goodbye. Qin Canglan said calmly, King Nanyang doesnt Imow that you were captured. Go, gossip boy, a.s.sist your master in fighting with Emperor Jing Xuan.

King Nanyang woke up to the chirping of birds. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt pain all over his body.

Your Highness, youre awake? A little palace maid shouted in surprise. Hurry up and inform the Empress Dowager! His Highness is awake!

The Empress Dowager? His Highness?

Was this the Yongshou Palace? Why was he here? What had happened?

Shenger!

The Empress Dowager walked over excitedly and sat by the bed to hold his hand. Mother was so worried about you! Why are you looking at Mother like that? Dont be afraid. Mother wont let anyone hurt you again!

His Majesty he said tentatively.

The Empress Dowager snorted. If he wants to kill you, he can kill me too! It seemed that Emperor Jing Xuan already knew.

This was much earlier than expected. His plan was completely disrupted.

However, it was not too bad. With the Empress Dowagers protection, he could at least get rid of some difficult fellows, such as Qin Canglan and the little girl.

Just as this thought flashed across her mind, Su Xiaoxiao came to the bed with a bowl of medicine and smiled at him. Your Highness, we meet again.

King Nanyangs hair stood on end!
