Steel Dynasty - Chapter 516

[Chapter 516 Poison Scheme]

“My Majesty, how can King Zhao, as your biological father, threaten your Majesty? Everything your Highness has done is for the sake of your Majesty and the Crown Prince.”

Wang Xi smiled while inserting the last golden hairpin. On Queen Zhao’s hair.

Queen Zhao sneered twice, and a look of exhaustion suddenly appeared on her face. She said to Wang Xi, “Please step aside. I am going to visit Your Majesty.”

“Yes.” Wang Xi’s face was still calm. smile.

With the support of the palace maid, Queen Zhao turned around and left Fengming Palace and went directly to Bishui Pavilion. After Xiao Wenxuan became seriously ill, he had been recuperating in Bishui Pavilion, and Concubine Zhen had been taking good care of him.

Logically, she, the queen, should take care of this, but at this time, Xiao Wenxuan decided to recuperate in Bishui Pavilion. This matter made her, the queen, uncomfortable, and because of this matter, there were more rumors in the palace.

One of the rumors that made him most angry was that the emperor’s serious illness was directly related to her. Thinking of this, she felt angry in her heart.

“Your Majesty.”

When they arrived at Bishui Pavilion, Queen Zhao went directly into the inner hall. Seeing Queen Zhao coming in, Concubine Zhen bowed.

Empress Zhao nodded, her eyes no longer showing the familiar intimacy of sisters in the past. Xiao Wenxuan, the person who maintained the shameful relationship between them, fell, and the concubines in the palace revealed their true colors.

They used all their means to start planning for the rest of their lives.

“You go out, I and the Emperor have something to say.” Empress Zhao said to Concubine Zhen in a commanding tone.

Concubine Zhen wanted to say something, but when she saw Queen Zhao’s cold eyes, she finally sighed and walked out.

On the bed, Xiao Wenxuan’s face turned yellow, his lips turned white, and he looked so weak that he could not even speak a word.

At this time, he stared at Queen Zhao with extremely complicated eyes, but he still didn’t say a word.

“Your Majesty, why is this happening?”

Queen Zhao looked at Xiao Wenxuan with puzzlement and confusion in her eyes. She had not hated Concubine Zhen before, but she thought this incident made her hate her like never before.

Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes turned, and his expression suddenly became a little frightened. He did not dare to look into Queen Zhao’s eyes, but desperately searched for Concubine Zhen.

Empress Zhao suddenly felt sad in her heart, her eyes were red, and she said sadly: “Isn’t it that the friendship between you and me for decades is not as good as that of Concubine Zhen? Even if I am old and yellow, you don’t want to pay attention to me, but even for the Thirteenth Prince, You shouldn’t do this to me.”

When the Thirteenth Prince was mentioned, Xiao Wenxuan’s eyes suddenly became dazed. He looked at Queen Zhao and said weakly for the first time: “I’m afraid my life will fall on you and the Thirteenth Prince. “

Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Prince is just a baby, how could he kill you?” Queen Zhao said sternly, “Don’t you think the Emperor hates this concubine and doesn’t even have a decent excuse?”

“Hahaha… “Xiao Wenxuan suddenly laughed hoarsely, but this smile was full of despair.

Empress Zhao gave birth to the thirteenth prince two months ago. That day was the happiest day for him in years. This joy even surpassed Xiao Ming’s victory in Shanhaiguan.

Over the years, he and Queen Zhao had a close relationship and had always supported each other. Queen Zhao’s child was his favorite child, and it was for Queen Zhao that he would always support the incompetent prince.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that his life would one day fall on Queen Zhao and her son.

Ever since Queen Zhao gave birth to the thirteenth prince, the prince had given Queen Zhao blood bird’s nests on the grounds of filial piety. Because there were so many blood bird’s nests, Queen Zhao would give Xiao Wenxuan a bowl every time to replenish her health.

After all, he is getting older now and his health is deteriorating.

But he didn’t expect that after a month of drinking, his body became weaker and weaker, until one day he suddenly passed out and fell to the ground. After that, his body became worse day by day, until finally he could only lie in bed unable to get up.

After thinking about it, he became more and more suspicious that something was wrong with the bird’s nest, because only the blood bird’s nest did not come from the imperial kitchen.

Thinking of this, he asked Feng Deshui to secretly investigate, but Feng Deshui never came back, and since then he found that his imperial destiny could not leave the Bishui Pavilion at all.

At this time, he finally despaired. In his opinion, Queen Zhao must be impatient for the prince to ascend the throne.

Because he once jokingly told her that he would make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince when he grows up. After all, the Thirteenth Prince was also the daughter of Empress Zhao and was also his legitimate son.

“Your Majesty, you must be sick and confused.” Empress Zhao felt increasingly sad. The current Xiao Wenxuan was simply unreasonable to him.

“Ahem!”

Xiao Wenxuan coughed twice violently. During this period, he felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker. I was afraid that he would not have much time left. Looking at Queen Zhao, he said pleadingly: “You want me to die, but I can’t do it.” He said, “But don’t implicate innocent people. The King of Qi is the only one who can stop the barbarians from going south. If you send Concubine Zhen to Qingzhou, the King of Qi will definitely be grateful for your kindness. Even if he does not support the prince, he will not let the barbarians enter.” “

Empress Zhao became more and more confused, and she said: “Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could I want the emperor to die?”

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Empress Zhao steadily. He had been very defensive about Empress Zhao since he fell ill. He had never said anything to her, but now that what Queen Zhao said was true, he suddenly felt something in his heart and asked, “Let me ask you, where did Feng Deshui go?”

“Feng Deshui.” Queen Zhao was suddenly startled, and she said: “Didn’t Feng Deshui resign and return to his hometown?”

“Resign and return to his hometown?” Xiao Wenxuan sneered again and again, “I sent him to investigate the blood bird’s nest matter, but now he suddenly disappeared. Do you think he resigned and returned to his hometown?”

Empress Zhao Her expression became more and more ugly, and a chill suddenly ran down her back when she thought of Wang Xi’s face. During this period, Wang Xi had been conveying government orders, and everything she heard was also said by Wang Xi.

Looking back now, it seems that things have changed since she gave birth to the Thirteenth Prince, and the blood bird’s nest that Xiao Wenxuan mentioned was exactly what he asked Wang Xi to send.

Wang Xi used to be very honest around her, but now Wang Xi seems to be a different person.

“This is what Wang Xi told me.” Queen Zhao hesitated and said.

Hearing this, Xiao Wenxuan suddenly had a hint of understanding in his eyes. He understood that Queen Zhao was probably innocent in this matter. He said: “It’s too late. It’s too late to do anything now. He has already taken action. Wanrong, believe me, you It’s all your father’s conspiracy. Listen to my words and take Concubine Zhen and the Thirteenth Prince to Qingzhou to join Prince Qi. I will make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince now. “

“Father! You really want to make the Thirteenth Prince the crown prince.”

Prince.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the inner hall, and the prince walked in with a gloomy face.

Empress Zhao was not a stupid person. At this time, she had already guessed something through Xiao Wenxuan’s words. She said angrily: “It turns out that you are the rebellious son. Your father suddenly fell ill. It turns out that you and Wang Xi secretly colluded. You This is regicide!”
