The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

After a while, the emperor's bedroom was in chaos.

Yun Yi, who was hiding in the dark, witnessed the success signal sent by his own people with his own eyes. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

However, this is not the best time for him to step forward, he still needs to wait for a suitable opportunity.

The emperor's bedroom was indeed in chaos, with palace maids and servants running around in panic.

When the queen heard the news, she hurried to the emperor's bedroom with the help of her personal nanny.

She pushed open the door, walked around the screen, and came to the bed, only to see the emperor lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper, his eyes closed, and he was lying quietly as if he was sleeping.

When the queen saw this scene, her legs went weak and she almost fell.

She walked to the bed tremblingly and took the emperor's hand, which was freezing cold. The queen gently put the emperor's hand on her cheek, trying to feel his last bit of warmth.

At this time, the imperial physician came hurriedly carrying her small medicine box.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen," the imperial physician saluted.

The queen came to her senses and quickly left to make room for the imperial physician. She asked anxiously, "Imperial physician, come and take a look. What's wrong with the emperor?"

The Queen said with a slightly choked voice. The imperial physician did not dare to slack off and hurried forward to feel the emperor's pulse and treat him. After a long time, the imperial physician knelt down in panic and pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty the Queen..."

"What's wrong with the emperor?" the queen's voice was trembling.

The imperial physician hesitated to speak, but the empress immediately understood what was going on and dismissed the attendants before letting the imperial physician speak without worry.

"Empress, the Emperor has been poisoned, and the poison has penetrated deep into his lungs. There is no cure!"

The doctor said tremblingly. When the queen heard this, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, the maid next to her was quick to support her.

She suppressed her grief and asked the doctor in a trembling voice, "How long will it take?"

The imperial physician shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it will take no more than three days..."

The queen burst into tears and murmured to herself: "How could this happen... How could this happen..."

She could not accept this cruel fact. The emperor was the ruler of a country, but now he suddenly fell down and there was no one to succeed him. If the throne fell into the hands of someone else, how would she live?

The imperial physician felt sorry for the queen as he saw her heartbroken, but he continued to advise her, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The most urgent thing now is to arrange the emperor's funeral as soon as possible, so as not to be caught off guard."

The queen was silent for a long time, and finally nodded to show her agreement.

She knew that she had to be strong and handle this matter properly. So she wiped away her tears, cheered herself up, and began to arrange the emperor's funeral.

When the news of the Crown Prince's death reached Kyoto, she had already sent a message to Princess Yueyao, asking her to return to the capital as soon as possible. Now, calculating the time, her own daughter is about to return to the palace.

Just as the queen was planning how to conceal the emperor's physical condition, the eunuch outside came in and said, "Queen, Princess Yueyao is outside asking to see you."

"Oh... let her in quickly." As soon as the queen finished speaking, Princess Yueyao was led by the eunuch to the queen.

"Your son greets the Queen Mother," Yun Yao bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite, all of you please leave. I have something personal to say to the princess."

"Yes..." The queen's personal nanny bowed and left.

"Mother, how could such a thing happen? How could the prince be killed by an assassin? What about father? Is he in good health?" Princess Yueyao asked with concern.

"Your father..." The queen burst into tears before she could finish her sentence.

"Mother...what happened to father? Don't cry." When Yue Yao saw the queen like this, a bad premonition came to her heart.

"The imperial physician just came to see you and said that your father has been poisoned. He has three days left..." the queen said, unable to hide the pain in her heart.

Hearing the news, Princess Yueyao turned pale as paper, her eyes full of shock and grief. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

"How could this happen..." Yue Yao murmured to herself, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't accept this fact, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

Seeing her daughter so sad, the queen hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly: "Yueyao, we must be strong. The most important thing now is the turmoil in the previous dynasty. If the news of the emperor's death spreads, the court will definitely be in chaos."

Princess Yueyao nodded, trying to control her emotions. She took a deep breath and said firmly: "Mother, I still need your authorization for the affairs of the previous dynasty. I will handle it on your behalf. As for my father's funeral, please take care of it."

"Okay... Yueyao... I will give you the Queen's seal now, and you will handle court affairs on behalf of your mother for the time being. First stabilize the court officials, and then discuss the matter of the crown prince." The Queen said helplessly.

Just as the queen finished her words, there was a commotion outside. The chief eunuch came running over in a panic to report.

"Empress, the courtiers outside are clamoring to see the Emperor." The chief eunuch spoke anxiously, with a hint of panic in his voice.

"Yueyao...what should we do? Did the court officials know something? Are they trying to force the emperor to abdicate?" The queen looked at her daughter in a panicked tone.

Yue Yao pondered for a moment, and after a while, she had figured out the whole incident.

"Mother, this is a conspiracy, someone did it on purpose. First they sent someone to assassinate the prince, and then poisoned father. Now that person is hiding in the dark, instigating court officials to come and force the emperor to abdicate. His goal is the throne." Yue Yao calmly analyzed the interests involved.

After being pointed out by her daughter, the queen immediately understood that this was a conspiracy.

"Then Yueyao, can you guess who is behind the scenes?" The queen can only count on this daughter and rely on this daughter now.

"I can't guess it yet, but according to my daughter's guess, that person can no longer hide and will show up soon."

"Then, mother, please let those court officials come in, and we will use their tricks to catch the person behind this."

"It is not easy for me to show up right now, so please hold on, mother. I will go and make arrangements to find the real culprit who killed my father and the crown prince."

Although the queen was afraid, she knew that she still needed to hold on. She took a deep breath, cheered herself up, and faced the challenges ahead.

When Yue Yao saw that the queen was nervous, she walked over, held her hand directly, and used the warmth of her hand to give the queen courage.

"Don't worry, mother. I won't be too far away from you. I will be observing the changes here from a distance. If there is a crisis here, I will bring people to rescue you."

Comforted by her daughter, the queen finally mustered up the courage to go out and face the coming storm.
