The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

"No one has ever wanted to take your position as queen. You have wrongly blamed Concubine Hu." Hu Luanfei paused and continued, "Concubine Hu did not want to stay within the palace walls. You could have used some tricks to get her out of the palace. Why did you let yourself be blamed for a murder?"

The Queen was thinking about what Hu Luanfei said. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Hu Luanfei muttering, "If you hate her, why do you still raise her child and help him become the Crown Prince?"

Needless to say, the queen was heartbroken. The inside story was not as simple as it seemed. The queen adjusted her silver hair and laughed at herself, "It's easier said than done. The palace is full of your Majesty's spies. You can't escape or hide. Only death can free you. Have you forgotten?"

The Queen looked at Hu Luanfei and sneered: "Your Majesty knew that you didn't love him, but you tried your best to disobey the Queen Mother and keep you in the palace. Why? I am powerless. I can't stop your Majesty's actions. I have to watch you rise step by step. Hu Cuiwei, I didn't want to kill you, but you have touched my bottom line again and again. I can't just sit back and watch."

The queen looked unhappy because she was worried about her mother's family. To put it bluntly, the queen hated Concubine Hu not only because of the king's favor, but also because Concubine Hu intended to open an escort agency.

The businesses of the Queen's mother's family included escort agencies, restaurants, rice shops...any business that could make money, her mother's family was involved. If they did it, others couldn't. No matter what small business Hu Jieyu wanted to do, she was blocked by the Queen. She had no choice but to ask the King for help, which put her in a dead end.

Now the Queen's mother's family has suffered backlash and all their industries have collapsed. The Queen is isolated and out of favor, and she has become much more haggard.

Seeing the queen crying and laughing, Hu Luanfei was afraid that she would do something cruel, so he quickly got up and left.

But the queen suddenly stood up, stumbled over and trapped her in the chair, approached her, and said with hatred, "You think I am willing to raise your son? Don't dream, Hu Cuiwei. When I see him, I will think of His Majesty's intention to abandon me for you. If it weren't for the Queen Mother protecting me, the position of queen would be yours."

Hu Luanfei looked up at the queen with a hideous face, and said in a cold voice, "If you want to blame someone, blame Xuanyuan Li, not Hu Cuiwei."

"Foxish girl!" The Queen grabbed her chin and said, "If you didn't exist in this world, His Majesty wouldn't be deceived, and he would naturally be deeply in love with me."

The hatred on the queen's face was like a sharp knife, gradually turning into a real object. The slender hand that was pinching her chin slid to her neck, and the knife was against her abdomen. As long as the queen exerted force, the knife would pierce into her abdomen.

Hu Luanfei didn't dare to move for a moment. He regretted coming to see the queen very much. He also hated himself for being soft-hearted and pitying someone who shouldn't be pitied.

A drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Seeing this, the Queen smiled grimly, "You will be afraid one day too."

The knife scraped gently through the clothes, and Hu Luanfei tried hard not to look so scared.

"Empress, please put down the knife first." Hu Luanfei's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

When the queen heard this, she became even more excited and as arrogant as a wild dog that had lost its mind.

At this critical moment, a tall figure rushed in from the door. He walked in a hurry and his breathing could be heard from a long distance away.

Just as Hu Luanfei and the Queen turned their heads and before they could see who was coming, the Queen was thrown out by a strong force.

A sharp pain spread from the neck. Hu Luanfei wiped it gently, and his fingertips were stained red. Bright red blood spread on the neck.

"Luan Fei, are you okay?"

Xuanyuan Li appeared in front of Hu Luanfei in an instant. He stared at the bleeding wound with his eyelashes drooping. At this moment, he was like a mad bull, rushing towards the queen with red eyes, "Xue Lan, you are too presumptuous."

As soon as the queen got up from the ground, Xuanyuan Li retaliated against her in the same way.

"Your Majesty..." The Queen looked at the husband who had been with her through thick and thin for decades. She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears that gathered and slid down from the corners of his eyes. Her ten fingers began to ache, and the pain went all the way to the bottom of her heart.

"Are your Majesty's tears shed for me?"

His eyes were filled with her tears, her face was weathered, no longer the same as before. He somehow let go of her hand, took a step back, lowered his eyes, and suddenly covered his face with his hands, as if in great pain.

"What on earth am I doing?"

"Your Majesty, please do not feel burdened." The Queen poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, tears falling down her cheeks. "I have been with Your Majesty for many years and have seen countless changes. Now that my mother's family has fallen, I am alone. I am afraid that I can no longer enjoy the bright moon with Your Majesty in spring and autumn."

Xuanyuan Li raised his eyes and saw the queen smiling faintly, but that smile was filled with pain like a knife cutting her.

"Xue Lan, you..."

"I know that Your Majesty has been looking for Hu Cuiwei all these years. There is something I don't want to hide. The Queen Mother has also been tracking Hu Cuiwei. Just a few days ago, Hu Cuiwei returned to the mountain full of gardenias and met Princess Zhan."

Xuanyuan Li's eyes were full of disbelief and he turned around to look at Hu Luanfei.

Hu Luanfei felt guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

The Queen also said, "The Queen Mother arrested Hu Cuiwei for stealing the imperial seal. She has not had an easy life these years."

Xuanyuan Li said nothing, burning with anger.

Gradually, the queen's face looked worse, and beads of sweat appeared on her pale face. She forced a smile and looked at Hu Luanfei, saying in a daze, "Hu Cuiwei, you are not doing well, and so am I. We are even on this point. However, His Majesty has been unable to let you go for so many years, and I - I still lost in the end."

Blood flowed from the corners of the queen's mouth, drop by drop onto the cool floor, blooming into bright and dazzling red plums in front of Xuanyuan Li's eyes.

He was suddenly startled, and when he looked up he met the queen's eyes full of heartache, and suddenly he understood.

He panicked. He frantically supported the queen and said, "Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!"

Hu Luanfei endured the pain and trotted out. As soon as he stepped out the door, he was stunned by the scene before him.

All the servants in Fengyi Palace took poison and none of them survived.

At that moment, Hu Luanfei's legs went weak and he knocked over a tall potted plant. The sound of "bang" attracted the guards guarding the door outside.

They rushed in and were also shocked by the scene before them. They quickly went to call for the imperial physician.

Inside the bedroom, Xuanyuan Li hugged the queen and murmured softly. Even the imperial physician came but had no idea where to start.

Hu Luanfei advised: "Let the imperial physician take a look at the queen first."

Xuanyuan Li then carried the queen towards the phoenix bed.

The imperial physician was checking the empress's pulse, while he was taking a break to secretly look at Xuanyuan Li.

Who would have thought that the Queen's fate was in jeopardy, and the unexpectedly adopted Xuanyuan Yuchuan actually brought the life-saving elixir at the critical moment.

Xuanyuan Yuchuan left a cup of spiritual spring water and hurriedly fed it into the queen's mouth.

It is exactly: because of the grace of raising me, I regain half of my life.
