Although the emperor had regained consciousness, his voice was still very low and not very clear. Wang Yiyao leaned closer to hear him clearly.
"Your Majesty, the prince is fine. It's just that he was imprisoned in Xining this time and was seriously injured. He has not fully recovered yet."
The emperor was a little excited after hearing what Wang Yiyao said, because this time he went to the south to quell the riots, and the emperor really didn't have any thoughts.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, speak slowly."
"The riots in the south are really not my fault. It was all my fault in the past and I was always afraid of Yi'er."
When Wang Yiyao heard these words, tears welled up in her eyes. It would be great if Feng Minyi could hear these words. After experiencing this, the emperor finally understood.
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much. Everyone makes mistakes. The prince has always been very loyal to you and Xi Qin."
At this time, Gao Zhan also spoke, "Your Majesty, King Donglin has a broad mind, so naturally he won't care about this. Princess, what do you think?"
Wang Yiyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, "Well, yes, the prince is your biological brother, and he will be a biological brother for a long time. The prince will definitely rescue us all."
Gao Zhan came over and held the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself. Everything else is not important right now."
"Yes, yes, I have given you some medicine. Your Majesty will be well soon. We, the people of Western Qin, still need Your Majesty."
Wang Yiyao and Gao Zhan refused to listen and comforted the emperor, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"Princess, what is your face like?"
"Oh, it's the scar left by being tortured by their Queen Mother when they were in the Xining Palace. It will heal in a few days."
Gao Zhan just heard Wang Yiyao say that Feng Minyi was seriously injured in Xining. Now he saw the scar on Wang Yiyao's face, and felt sad in his heart.
"Princess, you and the prince must have suffered a lot over there."
Wang Yiyao didn't say anything, just smiled.
The emperor was about to fall asleep, and when Wang Yiyao was about to leave, he seemed to hear footsteps.
"Gao Zhan, it seems like someone is coming. Go out and take a look. Why do I hear a sound like the King of Shu is coming?"
Gao Zhan came to the door and looked through the crack in the door. He was really the King of Shu. Why did he come here in the middle of the night?
"The princess is not well, the King of Shu is really here."
At this time, Wang Yiyao did not panic. She thought that if the emperor pretended to be about to die, the King of Shu would probably find out. It seemed that the only option was to use medicine.
"Your Majesty, eat this quickly."
In fact, it was so fast that Wang Yiyao quickly put a pill into the emperor's mouth.
Then he quickly hid.
"Prince"
"How are the people inside? Is there anyone suspicious appearing?"
Ever since the King of Shu discovered Wang Yiyao's back, he had been uneasy, fearing that his own people would be negligent and let Feng Minyi and the others rescue the emperor.
"Prince Qi, no, everything is as usual."
Gao Zhan continued to return to the emperor and stood next to him. When he saw the emperor dying, he pretended to cry there.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly."
"I said, Eunuch Gao, why are you crying in the middle of the night? I'm so excited after hearing this."
Wang Yiyao and Gao Zhan, who were hiding behind, were surprised and angry when they heard the King of Shu calling himself me. This King of Shu was really rebellious.
"Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate for you...the Emperor is still here to call yourself like this."
When the King of Shu heard what Eunuch Gao said, he slapped him in the face.
"You bastard, you still dare to control me. I tell you that he can't live for more than a few days. By then, the entire Western Qin will belong to me. You, an old man, still can't understand the situation."
Wang Yiyao was behind, clenching her fists tightly. She almost rushed out when she heard King Shu fighting a high battle just now.
This King of Shu is such a bastard. The Emperor has not yet passed away, yet he is so arrogant.
The King of Shu cursed Gao Zhan and woke up the emperor.
"Minli, you bastard."
"Hey, you are awake now. When I came in just now, my eyes were closed. I thought I was going to die and was discussing how to prepare for the funeral?"
The King of Shu was speaking very arrogantly now. He knew that the Emperor's health was failing, and Feng Minyi was defeated by his own troops and retreated.
Therefore, the throne will be his own sooner or later, and there is nothing to hide in front of the dying emperor.
"you you……"
Seeing that the emperor struggled even to speak, King Shu was extremely proud.
"You'd better save some energy and take a few more breaths, haha..."
The emperor gritted his teeth in anger at the King of Shu's crazy look. He never thought that his brother, who was 12 years younger than him, would become like this one day.
I still remember that when he first ascended the throne, the King of Shu was not yet an adult. The Queen Mother strongly suggested that the King of Shu should live alone in his own palace. However, the Emperor could not bear it and allowed him to live in the palace with Concubine Shu for a few years.
At that time, the King of Shu did not like to talk, was taciturn, and always lowered his head when he saw the emperor.
The emperor thought of the past as if it were yesterday. He looked at the current King of Shu as if he was dreaming.
"You were so well-behaved and sensible back then. You were the most well-behaved and sensible among my many brothers, so I loved you so much. I also allowed you to stay with the concubine for a few more years, but now you have repaid me with hatred."
Hearing the emperor's words, the King of Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, if I don't pretend to be well-behaved, can I hide it from your eyes? All of this is a play between me and my mother."
When the King of Shu was a child, he didn't have any deep hatred for the Emperor, but Concubine Shu had a very strong hatred for the Queen Mother, so she told the King of Shu from an early age that the throne was originally his, and it was only because of the Queen Mother and the Emperor that their mother and son fell into disgrace.
So far.
"You, you..." The emperor coughed a few times and was a little out of breath.
"What happened to us? I know everything about what the old witch Queen Mother did to my mother. At that time, I secretly swore that I would take back everything that belongs to me."
"Everything belongs to you. My succession to the throne was decided by the Emperor himself. What do you mean by everything belonging to you?"
When the late emperor passed away, the King of Shu was still very young and would definitely not pass the throne to a child who was not yet weaned.
It was obvious that Concubine Shu told her son all the grudges between herself and the Queen Mother, letting him understand that he and the Emperor were not brothers at all, but enemies.
That's why the King of Shu gradually became what he is now. The emperor looked at the King of Shu standing in front of him and closed his eyes.
"Go away. I don't want to see you. I accept everything now."
