"You bastard, let me go." Qin Wu's voice sounded weak.

He struggled with his weak strength, but could not break free of Qin Zhi's hand which was tightly clamped on his chin.

When Qin Zhi saw the Prince of Wu open his eyes, he was instantly stunned.

Because of the pain, there were ripples in her eyes, her pupils were as sharp as autumn water, and she looked like a beautiful girl, but it was not like this.

"Sorry, I was thinking too deeply and I hurt you." Qin Zhi put his hand down and saw a faint red mark on Qin Wu's smooth chin left by his pinching.

The Prince of Wu was barely breathing and couldn't hear Qin Zhi's words at all. It seemed as if he was about to die.

It seems that there is nothing to ask today.

"Change him to a cleaner cell and ask the imperial physician to check on him. I haven't questioned him yet. If he dies, I will hold you accountable."

"Zhang Deli, return to the palace."

--------------------

In Ci'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake. I don't know why, but the gate of Ci'an Palace is guarded and I can't get out at all. You have been in a coma the whole time. I really don't know what to do!" Xinyun said with tears streaming down her face.

Empress Dowager Lu sat on the bed in a daze, her eyes dull, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Xin Yun wiped her face, forced herself to cheer up, patted her shoulder gently, and said, "My queen, my queen, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, please don't scare me!"

Empress Dowager Lu lowered her head, her hands caressing the green silk quilt with dark patterns covering her lower body as she said, "Xinyun, the emperor knows that I sent you to Qingzhou to find the prince of Wu."

Although Xinyun had already guessed it, she still felt trembling in her heart. She was almost scared to death and sat down on the ground, muttering, "No wonder, no wonder."

The Queen Mother did not react to this, but continued to speak on her own: "Zhi'er knows that I love the King of Wu, and he also knows that I kept silent about the King of Wu's rebellion when he ascended the throne."

"I gave birth to two princesses for the late emperor and Zhier for him. How did he treat me? He was obsessed with that vixen!" She suddenly turned to face Xinyun, her eyes wide open, her hands tightly grasping the silk quilt, she became emotional, and her voice became increasingly sharp.

"Even if that vixen was caught having an affair with a guard, he still wanted to save her life and threatened to die. Ha, what a deep friendship! He will never regret it even if he dies!"

"As soon as Grandpa Taizu passed away, he brought her back and gave her the title of some ridiculous concubine."

"If that vixen gave birth to a son for him, where would there be a place for Zhier and me in Dayong?"

"Then what's wrong with me falling in love with his younger brother? I have nothing wrong with the King of Wu! I have never done anything dirty or improper with him."

As Empress Dowager Lu spoke, the silk quilt under her hands made a rustling sound and was torn by her.

She paused, then continued, "There is only one thing I feel guilty about Zhier, which is that I did not tell the King of Wu when I knew he was planning a rebellion."

"But wasn't Zhier unharmed? He also killed my King of Wu. What did I do wrong? Xinyun, tell me, what did I do wrong?" Queen Mother Lu's emotions rose and fell like a wooden boat rolling in the rough waves.

Xinyun's face was a little pale, and he looked at Empress Dowager Lu with sad eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came out.

Empress Dowager Lu did not want Xinyun's answer. She was just venting her emotions, her fear and anxiety.

"The residence of the King of Wu was raided. The powerless and weak Prince Wu posed no threat to Zhier at all. I saved his life and left a bloodline for the King of Wu. Was I wrong?"

"Am I wrong?"

Empress Dowager Lu burst into tears and cried uncontrollably.

"Zhi'er said that I support the rebellion of the Prince of Wu. This is simply alarmist!"

"How could I help an outsider to murder my own son? Zhier is my son, the son I carried for ten months and gave birth to. He brought me good luck when he was born. He is a gift from God to me!

"Although Zhier did not grow up under my wing, I know that he is my honor and my biological son!"

The Queen Mother's voice deepened. "Although the prince's money is all mine, I really did not support the prince of Wu's rebellion. As soon as I knew about this, I sent you to stop it."

"Xinyun, do you think Zhier will believe me? Do I still have a chance? Will Zhier believe in a mother like me?" The Queen Mother's voice gradually became inaudible.

"He is my biological son, how can he question me like this?"
