Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

At the gate of the palace, Xiao Xizi looked at Eunuch An who came out from behind and couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you afraid that King Zhan would get angry and kill you directly?"

Hearing this, Eunuch An subconsciously touched his chest, with a look of fear on his face, "Who said I wasn't afraid? My heart was beating like a drum just now, almost jumping out of my throat!"

"Then you still dare to say it?"

Eunuch An made a bitter face and sighed, "Oh! Eunuch Xi, you don't know, the Queen Mother has issued a death order. If I don't announce the Queen Mother's order, the Queen Mother will not let me go..." As he said that, he made a gesture of touching his neck, indicating that he would be executed.

Xiao Xizi looked down at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, his face full of helplessness.

He knew that the Queen Mother favored Prince Zhan, and this was a well-known fact.

But now, with the Queen Mother making such a fuss, when will Prince Zhan be able to marry a princess?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xizi and Eunuch An looked at each other, and both of them revealed deep helplessness in their eyes.

They really couldn't understand why the Queen Mother had to be so serious about this matter.

In the imperial study, after Xiao Xizi came back, she began to chatter to the emperor about what had just happened.

The emperor listened and suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahahahahaha...did that brat enter the palace?"

Xiao Xizi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No."

The emperor laughed and scolded, "Since he was a child, my mother and I have doted on that brat, which has made him more and more unscrupulous and his temper worse. He has a cold face every day. It's good to let him suffer setbacks!"

Xiao Xizi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "But, if this happens, will Prince Zhan and the Queen Mother have a falling out?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly, "After Heshun returned to the capital, my mother now summons Heshun to the palace to chat every few days. I believe that my brother will not quarrel with my mother."

When Xiao Xizi heard this, he immediately understood what the emperor meant. It seemed that Prince Zhan would cause trouble for Princess Heshun.

That’s right, if Princess Heshun hadn’t said bad things about Miss Murong in the Queen Mother’s ear, the Queen Mother wouldn’t have hated Murong Zixi so much.

Moreover, the emperor had long been dissatisfied with Princess Heshun. As a princess of a country, she actually kept a lover openly, which brought shame to the entire royal family.

In the past, the court censor Mr. Zhou reported to the emperor that Princess Heshun was not worthy of being a princess, and asked the emperor to strip her of her princess status and demote her to a commoner. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

In his memorial, Lord Zhou listed in detail the various evil deeds of Princess Heshun, such as her open keeping of lovers and her disregard for palace rules; and her indulgence of servants in oppressing the people and seizing men from the people, etc.

These things are all well documented, so Lord Zhou's memorial also received support from many ministers.

However, when the Queen Mother learned about this, she was furious. She felt that Lord Zhou dared to publicly accuse her beloved Princess Heshun in the court, which was clearly a slap in her face!

So the Queen Mother immediately summoned Lord Zhou and gave him a severe reprimand.

As a result, after returning home, Mr. Zhou was in a very depressed mood and finally chose to hang himself.

This news reached the palace. The emperor was shocked when he heard it. He immediately went to the Cining Palace to find the empress dowager, and the two had a big fight.

The emperor wants to punish Princess Heshun to comfort Lord Zhou's spirit in heaven.

But the Queen Mother firmly disagreed and even threatened the Emperor with a hunger strike.

Faced with the empress dowager's tough attitude, the emperor had no choice but to compromise. He no longer pursued Princess Heshun's responsibility and turned a blind eye to Princess Heshun's affairs.

But in fact, Princess Heshun has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he has long wanted to remove her, but he has not taken action because of his consideration for the empress dowager.

You know, the Queen Mother has always been very fond of Princess Heshun.

At that time, the Empress Dowager, who was still the Empress, suffered great damage to her body after giving birth to the Emperor. The imperial physician at the time once asserted that it would be difficult for the Empress Dowager to get pregnant again.

The Queen Mother was so devastated that she became depressed.

At this time, a concubine in the harem died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to Princess Heshun.

The late emperor then entrusted Princess Heshun to the care of the then queen, now the empress dowager, for upbringing.

The Queen Mother treated Princess Heshun as her own daughter and took good care of her. As time went by, the Queen Mother's mood gradually improved.

Later, the Queen Mother had a son in her later years, became pregnant and gave birth to Prince Zhan.

The Queen Mother dotes on the King of War and treats him like a treasure.

As the War King gradually grew up, the situation on the border became turbulent. After the death of the previous emperor, the War King resolutely stepped onto the battlefield, bravely killed the enemy, defended the peace of the country, and established great exploits on the battlefield with his own strength.

Xiao Xizi couldn't help but wonder, if Prince Zhan and Princess Heshun had a conflict, which side would the Queen Mother stand on?

"Xiao Xizi?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, Xiao Xizi's body stiffened and he quickly replied, "Your Majesty?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground with a plop, knocking his head loudly: "I didn't think of anything."

The emperor looked at Xiao Xizi and said, "Look at you! Get up!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

"I wanted to kill Heshun, but my mother protected her, so I didn't do it out of consideration for her.

Fei Mo was raised by his mother who loved him dearly. He had a stubborn personality and his mother couldn't do anything about him.

I am different. My mother has been very strict with me since I was a child. If I take action, my mother will cry and make a fuss. I can't do anything about her. I hope Fei Mo will take action."

Xiao Xizi's body froze, and he listened silently to the emperor talking to himself, not daring to interrupt.

The emperor continued, "You followed me later, so you don't know that when I was a child, I accidentally entered the plum garden and was chased and bitten by the dog raised by the imperial concubine.

At that time, I was still a child, and I ran out to play secretly. No one was following me. When I was about to be bitten by a dog, it was Lord Zhou who came to the palace to discuss business with the late emperor and saved me in time. If it weren't for Lord Zhou, I'm afraid I would have died long ago. "

"But the Queen Mother actually scolded Lord Zhou for the sake of Heshun, who brought disgrace to the royal family. Lord Zhou hanged himself because of this."

The emperor clenched his fists, his whole body shaking with anger, "I am such a coward as an emperor! I want to avenge Lord Zhou, so I can only kill Heshun, but my mother protects her and even threatens me by going on a hunger strike!"

Xiao Xizi listened to the emperor's words quietly, and couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's helplessness. He thought that the emperor must have been holding it in for so many years and had no one to talk to, so today he had to confide in a servant like him.

The emperor looked at the imperial edict brought back by Xiao Xizi, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

He handed the imperial edict to Xiao Xizi and said in a firm tone: "Go, take this imperial edict to King Zhan. It is up to him to decide how to deal with it. Tell King Zhan that I am on his side and I have no objection to whoever he wants to marry."

"Yes"

After Xiao Xizi left, the emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, lost in thought, and murmured, "Mother, in your heart, between Feimo and Heshun, who do you love the most? Oh! It's not me, Feimo, but how long are you going to protect such a princess who brings shame to the royal family?"
