”Qing`er, leave with me.”
”But, the dragon robe …” Just as she said that, she quickly looked around.
”Don't worry about that, I can handle it properly.”
He was Xiao Qingqian, not a trash who relied on women!
Wei Qing hesitated and did not say anything for a long time.
Xiao Qingqian gripped her arms even more tightly, ”Qing`er, once royal father wakes up, the palace will become a mess. I hope you can listen to my arrangements.”
Wei Qing stared into his eyes that were as deep as ink without blinking, with furrowed brows. Right now, what was important was the team spirit, not individual heroism. The empress already wanted to kill her, so there was no need for her to stay.
”Alright.”
Finally obtaining her exact answer, Xiao Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief.
The Queen and Xiao Hanqi hurriedly went to the Dragon-Dry Palace, where nearly all the imperial physicians of the Royal Hospital guarded the Inner Palace.
”How is it?” Her Majesty asked.
The judge's brows were relaxed, then creased, causing the already tense atmosphere to become even more intense.
”Esteemed Empress Dowager, the Emperor's pulse is very normal. He should be able to wake up soon.”
Hearing that, the Empress and Xiao Hanqi's face changed.
The two of them looked at each other and asked the judge to check the pulse of the ”Old Emperor” again.
The court judge hastened to speak up. ”Esteemed Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince, although the emperor's pulse was normal before, it was still sluggish and weak. Now, however, it looks very powerful.”
Hearing this, a 'boom' resounded in the empress's mind, as if a bolt of lightning had exploded.
Xiao Hanqi's hands under his sleeves tightened, the damn Long Xiaotian, could it be that he was tricked again?
The empress dowager's face lit up. ”This really is a great thing!”
Nanny Qiu rejoiced as he glanced at the upset face of the Empress and Xiao Hanqi, feeling disgusted in his heart.
The empress dowager accompanied the ”Old Emperor” for a while longer before returning to the Tzu Ning Palace. Xiao Hanqi and the Queen returned to the Tzu Ning Palace together.
The moment she entered, the empress slammed the table in anger.
This sound shook the entire palace and caused everyone to kneel on the ground.
”Imperial Mother, don't be angry!” Xiao Hanqi advised as he indicated for the big palace maid to bring the group of people to leave.
”How could I not be angry?” The Queen glared at Xiao Hanqi.
How much determination did she have to agree to poison the Old Emperor?
Right now, she thought Xiao Hanqi would be able to hold the position of emperor steadily, but unexpectedly, because he was infatuated with a monster who was neither a male nor a female, the Empress Dowager got the chance to do so.
Wizard!
It was really strange!
Xiao Hanqi frowned, looking deep in thought.
”Imperial Mother, don't you think this matter is very strange?”
”What's wrong?” The Queen's forehead was twisted into a knot.
”If this Magus is truly that capable, does it mean that everyone will be able to live for a hundred years?”
Hearing this, the empress gave it some serious thought, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
”Then what do you think happened?”
”I'm afraid the empress dowager sensed that something was amiss and purposely used a deceptive trick on us.”
The empress's hand tightened bit by bit. ”Could it be that Xiao Qingqian secretly contacted the empress dowager?”
