Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan looked at each other and instantly understood what the emperor was thinking at the moment.

The two of them seemed to have a telepathic connection and said in unison: "Impossible."

The emperor laughed and said, "If that's the case, please go back. Even if you kill me, you still won't be able to get the imperial seal."

Xie Zihan threw the sword to the ground: "If you don't take out the imperial seal, after your father dies, I can still sit on the throne."

It just takes a little longer.

Lu Zhong glanced at the queen, and the queen stepped forward and pulled Xie Zihan: "Han'er, don't be anxious. Mother will find a way later."

Without the imperial seal, how many people would recognize him even if he sat on the throne?

That result is not what they want.

Xie Zihan shook off the Queen's hand and walked out of the imperial study.

The emperor didn't want to see Lu Zhong and the queen, so he ignored the guards around him and closed his eyes to rest.

Now he knows that he doesn't have much time left, and some things need to be prepared in advance.

When the news was passed back to the Regent's Palace, Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan pursed their lips and remained silent.

"Master, the secret sentry is asking what to do next."

"Keep watching their actions and report anything unusual in time."

When Ling Feng turned around, he was stopped by Shen Jingxuan: "Where is Zhao Yiliang? Send him a message and ask him to find a way to know the content of the conversation in the imperial study."

"Yes." Ling Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

If you know what their conversation is about, it will be easier to come up with a way to deal with it.

Without waiting for Ling Feng to leave, Ling Chen walked towards him holding a letter.

"Master, please take a look at this letter. I wonder who sent the letter." After saying that, he handed it to Xie Lingxiao.

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, raised his hand to take it and examined it carefully.

When Shen Jingxuan saw him finish reading the letter and keep silent, she took a few steps forward and held Xie Lingxiao's hand.

When Xie Lingxiao looked up, he saw Shen Jingxuan staring at him with worry on her face.

"I'm fine, Xuan'er, take a look at this letter." As he said this, he put the letter in Shen Jingxuan's hands.

"Lu Zhenyu? Axiao, can the contents of his letter be trusted?" Shen Jingxuan asked.

It had been so long since Lu Zhenyu entered the mansion, and she thought that Lu Zhenyu had changed his mind.

Unexpectedly, he was the same kind of person as Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan.

It's just that they care about different things.

Xie Lingxiao tapped the tabletop with his fingers habitually and nodded, "It shouldn't be fake. If he really wanted the Prime Minister's wife and Lu Jinxuan to be safe and sound, he wouldn't have deceived us with such news."

Even if this incident had not happened, with Lu Zhenyu's intelligence, he would not have gone along with Lu Zhong.

Speaking of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao in surprise: "Ah Xiao, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion seem to be kept in the dark about what Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan did. If Lu Zhenyu had any news, it should not have come from Lu Zhong."

After hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Xie Lingxiao looked thoughtful.

He couldn't figure out what Lu Zhong was doing for a moment.

If it were any other mansion, big or small events would alarm the entire mansion, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was different.

They seemed unaware of this and lived their lives as usual.

Little did they know that even if Lu Zhong could conceal it, how could he not want them to be involved? Once things failed, the outcome would be beyond his control.

"It's not that he doesn't care about the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, his wife and children are there."

"But doesn't he dislike them?"

After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, she always felt that she had neglected something.

Xie Lingxiao tapped Shen Jingxuan's forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. No matter how much you dislike those people, they are still his people who have spent half his life with him."

"Look at how well he has trained Lu Zhenyu. You can tell that he doesn't dislike it as much as he says. He just doesn't want to show it."

For some reason, Shen Jingxuan was speechless for a moment when she heard Xie Lingxiao's words.

Since you have decided to marry and have children with someone you don't like, you should think of a way out for them.

If that was not the case, why would he bother to provoke that woman and make her life so difficult?

Unless Lu Zhong is sure of victory for what he has done.

Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said tightly, "If you can help Lu Zhenyu, help him once."

Just think of it as helping Mrs. Lu, keeping her away from people like Lu Zhong, and freeing her from her current cage.

"it is good."

Xie Lingxiao squeezed Shen Jingxuan's hand: "Xuan'er, don't think too much, I'm not Lu Zhong."

Did he see what I was thinking?

Shen Jingxuan curled her lips and smiled: "Ah Xiao, don't belittle yourself. How can someone like Lu Zhong be compared with you?"

"Now that Lu Zhenyu has sent the news in advance, what should we do next?"

Xie Lingxiao said: "After the morning court tomorrow, I will go to see the emperor again, and then I will know the truth of the matter."

Regardless of whether the news from Lu Zhenyu is true or false, we have to wait until it is confirmed before making a decision.

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Will I go to the palace with you tomorrow?"

The emperor has been under house arrest for so long, and the people he can trust are getting fewer and fewer. Given his cautiousness, even if he knew he was poisoned, he would not ask the imperial physician to detoxify him.

There are very few doctors outside the palace who can detoxify. Even if there is such an expert, with Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong around, they will not easily invite him into the palace.

As a result, the only person who could enter the palace to detoxify the emperor was Shen Jingxuan.

Xie Lingxiao stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. I will go to the palace tomorrow. If the situation is urgent, I will send someone to pick you up."

Shen Jingxuan didn't think so: "I'm afraid that once you meet the emperor, Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan will not let you have the chance to see him again."

The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, he will definitely have some realization.

When Xie Lingxiao meets the emperor, Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan will definitely try their best to stay with them so that they can know what they are talking about.

Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan would never give him the chance to meet alone.

How could Xie Lingxiao not understand such a truth? He just didn't want Shen Jingxuan to be involved, nor did he want her to suffer.

"Okay, now is not the time to worry about so many things."

Shen Jingxuan hugged Xie Lingxiao's arm and shook it: "We can't let Lu Zhong and Xie Zihan succeed, even if it just adds some trouble to them, we can't let them be happy."

The person sitting on the throne can be anyone, but it cannot be Xie Zihan.

It doesn't matter whether he is of royal blood or not.

Shen Jingxuan didn't know why, but every time she thought of Xie Zihan sitting on the throne, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that she insisted, Xie Lingxiao had no choice but to agree.

Early the next morning, all the civil and military officials in the court were surprised to find that the carriage from the Regent's Palace passed by them again.

There were two consecutive morning court sessions, which had never happened before.

The carriage drove all the way into the palace. Xie Lingxiao got off the carriage first and looked at the people following closely behind him with an unpleasant expression.

"Master, please go to the morning court. I will wait for you here."

Xie Lingxiao stared at the person in front of him intently, almost breaking his back teeth.

He grabbed the man in front of him, pressed him against the carriage, and then stuck close to him.

"If you like playing, why don't I play with you for a while?"
