The emperor has been getting more and more tired recently, and even dozed off in the palace several times.

Eunuch An had reminded the emperor several times to ask Imperial Physician Li to come and see the patient.

But the emperor always insisted on his own opinion, he felt that government affairs were just a little too busy.

In the past, the emperor left all government affairs to the prince.

Now, the emperor took all the cases back and examined them personally.

After all, I'm getting older and my health is not as good as before.

The emperor spent more and more time discussing Taoism with the immortal, and after each discussion, he would feel much more energetic.

Moreover, the emperor began to take the pills given by the Taoist priest.

Eunuch An tried to dissuade him and wanted to ask the imperial physician to check if there was anything wrong with the pill.

But seeing that the emperor seemed to be in better spirits every time after taking the medicine, he felt relieved.

On this day, another old minister in the court proposed to depose the crown prince.

And the absurd behavior of the previous prince was brought up again.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the old minister kneeling below with a righteous look on his face. It was none other than the party of the Dali Temple Minister.

He was inexplicably furious. This was his Xiao family's empire. When would it be these people's turn to point fingers?

He could make anyone he wanted the crown prince.

These old ministers, relying on their seniority, dared to give him orders.

Everyone was shouting that they were doing it for the country and the people.

This is the kingdom of his Xiao family, and it makes him sound as if he would be so sorry to his ancestors if he didn't depose the prince.

He left in anger, and Eunuch An hurriedly called for the court to be adjourned.

The emperor strode back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, feeling very upset.

At this time, the secret guard he sent to investigate the prince finally appeared.

The emperor looked at him coldly, "Tell me everything. If you hide anything, I will kill all your clans!"

The secret guard lowered his head and spoke in a steady tone.

"Back then, the queen did give birth to a daughter."

"The queen had already made preparations and ordered her personal nanny to buy a newborn baby from outside the palace."

"As soon as the child is born, the identities will be exchanged. If the queen also gives birth to a boy, the baby will be sent away secretly."

"The midwife and personal nanny who knew about the incident were later murdered by the Queen, so it took me a while to find out."

"The queen's personal nanny felt that she had committed a grave sin, so she told her goddaughter about it."

"The queen didn't expect the nanny to tell other people about it, so her goddaughter was able to survive."

"Mammy's goddaughter took her subordinates to find the family that sold the baby, and they told us about the mark on the baby."

The emperor stood up, "What mark?"

"It is said that there is a red mole behind the baby's right ear."

The emperor suddenly fell onto the dragon throne.

"And the baby girl that was born?"

"She was smothered to death by the Queen's personal nanny when she was born."

"Call the Crown Prince for an audience." There was a flash of unwillingness in the emperor's eyes.

Eunuch An hurried out of the palace in person to summon the prince into the palace.

The prince followed into the Yangxin Palace in confusion.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

The prince knelt down politely and paid his respects to the emperor.

The emperor stood up from the dragon throne with a slightly unsteady step.

Eunuch An rushed forward to support him, but was slapped away by the emperor.

He walked up to the prince step by step and walked around him.

Suddenly, he saw a red mole behind the prince's right ear.

He pointed his finger at the prince, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

The prince raised his head. The emperor looked at the gloomy prince and slapped him with all his strength.

The prince's face was slapped to the side, and murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

"emperor!"

The prince heard Eunuch An's scream. He turned his head and saw the emperor spitting out blood and falling to the ground.

"Father!"

The prince hurriedly reached out to take it, but the emperor was hugged by Eunuch An who rushed over first.

"Come here, call the doctor quickly!"

The prince rushed to the door and shouted loudly outside.

The emperor fainted and the palace was in chaos.

Upon receiving the news, the Queen hurried to the Yangxin Palace, and other concubines also came over one after another after receiving the news.

At this moment, Doctor Li was taking the emperor's pulse, his brows were furrowed into a knot.

"Doctor Li, how is the emperor?"

The queen rushed to the bed, looked at the unconscious emperor, and asked anxiously.

Doctor Li frowned and shook his head.

Before, he felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's health, but he didn't figure it out.

Now, the emperor's health has clearly reached the point where he is about to die.

“The Emperor must have been taking a lot of energy-boosting tonics. On the surface, the Emperor’s energy seems to have returned to his youth.

Little do they know that every time they use it, they are overdrawing their account.”

"Every time after eating, I seem to be full of energy, but in fact I am exhausted."

"This time, the emperor was so angry that his body couldn't handle it, so he fell into a coma."

The Queen was a little stunned by what Doctor Li said.

"Eunuch An, is the emperor taking tonic?"

Eunuch An knelt down and said, "I don't know if the medicine will be harmful to the emperor's body after taking it!"

"If this old servant knew, I would stop His Majesty from taking it at all costs."

"Where did the tonic come from?"

The Queen looked at Eunuch An sternly.

"It was given by the Taoist who discussed Taoism with the Pope."

"Come, lock up that Taoist priest!" the queen ordered.

She looked at the beautiful Lin who was crying bitterly, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

"It's all because of you, a bitch, that the emperor had to take those drugs. Come, take Lady Lin away and lock her up!"

"Empress, I am innocent! I am innocent!"

Lady Lin begged for mercy hastily, but her mouth was immediately blocked and she was dragged away.

"Doctor Li, you must save our father no matter what, or I will chop you to death!"

The prince yelled at the imperial physician, his eyes were red and he looked very sad.

"Your Highness, I will do my best even without your advice."

Doctor Li nodded slightly at the prince, not caring about his threats.

"Your Majesty needs quiet here, please ask the Queen and the Crown Prince to go out and wait."

Eunuch An asked everyone to leave the bedroom, and he personally stood in front of the hall to guard it.

The prince left for a while on the pretext of something, and after a while, he came back with a gloomy face.

He walked up to the queen and supported the grieving queen, "Mother, I will help you go back to the palace to rest."

The queen struggled not to leave. She looked at the concubines kneeling on the ground outside the palace.

"My son, how can I leave at this moment? Your father is in there, life or death is in danger, how can I rest?"

The prince secretly grabbed her arm and said, "Mother, your clothes are dirty. Go back and change your clothes before coming back."

The queen felt that her arms were about to be crushed by the prince. She raised her head and looked at the prince in surprise.

"Okay, help your mother go back and change clothes first."

She saw the coldness in the prince's eyes.
