Following Doctor Hu's final cry for help, Emperor Kang Ren's eyes involuntarily turned to the Imperial Concubine.

The Imperial Concubine's expression changed slightly, and a complex look flashed in her eyes. She opened her red lips slightly, wanting to speak but hesitant, and finally just slowly lowered her eyes, avoiding Emperor Kang Ren's probing gaze. The palace was silent for a while, with only the desperate echo of Doctor Hu echoing in the empty hall.

Emperor Kang Ren pondered for a moment, as if weighing something, and finally sighed softly.

for a long time!

He turned to look at Queen Wang, his tone carrying a subtle heaviness: "Now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"

Queen Wang slowly raised her head and her eyes met with Emperor Kang Ren's. There was both helplessness and relief in her eyes: "Since Your Majesty has already made up his mind, why bother asking me again? What's the point of what I say?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's face darkened, and his tone became a little more stern: "If I have to wait for you to confess your guilt in person, do you think I would still want to see you like this again?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Wang laughed out loud, with a hint of desolation and mockery in her voice: "Hasn't your Majesty heard that a gentle knife can kill people? How many women do you think are truly in love with you in this deep palace? How many princes in this magnificent palace truly hope that you are safe and sound?"

Upon hearing this, the princes lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the emperor, and not daring to easily express their opinions at this critical moment. The entire hall fell into a dead silence again, with only Queen Wang's laughter still echoing for a long time.

After Queen Wang had laughed enough, she looked at Emperor Kang Ren fiercely: "You have lived for so long, you should have abdicated and given the throne to me, Li'er, but you have not died yet. Is there nothing I can do?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's face turned pale, and a gleam of disbelief and anger flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground, with fragments flying everywhere. The crisp sound broke the silence in the hall. "You vicious woman... You vicious woman, how dare you speak wildly and covet the throne!" His voice trembled with anger.

Queen Wang was not afraid. She stood up straight with a sharp gaze, as if she had already put life and death aside. "I am only telling the truth. Your Majesty, you know very well that there are so many calculations and conspiracies in this palace. Aren't they all for the supreme power? I am just one of them."

Then she pointed at the princes and said, "Ask them! See how many of them are hoping for your death and the arrival of that high position!" There was a hint of provocation in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangren looked at the princes in anger. The princes knelt down and said, "We, your sons, have absolutely no such intention!" They said in unison, kowtowing like crazy.

Emperor Kang Ren's expression eased a little, but the anger in his heart had not completely subsided.

Murong Xuanyi stood up and said earnestly, "Father, please calm down. Mother may have said such rebellious words because of the impulse of the moment. The loyalty of your sons and ministers to you is evident to all, and we have absolutely no unreasonable expectations. I hope you take care of yourself, and don't let this make you sick."

After saying this, he kowtowed three times, and the other princes followed suit.

Emperor Kang Ren laughed in anger. He approached Queen Wang step by step, his eyes as sharp as an eagle. "Tell me the truth. Do you think you can overthrow my kingdom by yourself? I tell you, as long as I am alive, this world will still belong to me!"

Then, Emperor Kang Ren ordered in a deep voice, "Fuquan, bring the pen and ink."

Fuquan respectfully presented the writing to Emperor Kangren, who wrote down the edict to depose the empress:

"Empress Wang, the destiny has not blessed her. She is just a show-off, but not practical. She covets the throne, colludes with treacherous people, and disrupts the court. How can she respect the ancestral temple and be the mother of the country? I have made up my mind. I will depose her from the position of empress, demote her to a commoner, and confine her to the cold palace to set things right. I will announce this to the world to serve as a warning to others."

"Take my red seal!"

Fu Quanyou quickly took the red seal and presented it respectfully.

Emperor Kang Ren took the edict and stamped it heavily with his red seal.

"Come here, banish Wang to the cold palace and she will never be allowed to leave until she dies!" Emperor Kang Ren ordered coldly.

The guards came forward and dragged Queen Wang away. Queen Wang was still shouting, "Your Majesty, do you think everything can be settled by deposing me? Hahahahahaha..."

After Queen Wang left, the hall fell into silence. The princes looked at each other, each thinking something.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the imperial concubine's lips involuntarily.

Emperor Kang Ren finally couldn't suppress his inner anger and suddenly spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

"emperor……"

"Father..."

"The imperial doctor..."

Upon seeing this, Doctor Xiao hurried forward and quickly used a silver needle to accurately seal the blood vessels that were about to get out of control.

Murong Xuanyi hurried forward and said earnestly: "Father, please calm down and take care of your health. Fuquan, go get the ginseng soup."

Upon hearing this, Fuquan hurried away and soon returned with a cup of hot ginseng soup. Murong Xuanyi took it personally and carefully served it to Emperor Kangren.

Emperor Kangren drank the ginseng soup, and his complexion gradually became ruddy, and his breath became stable. He looked at the princes with deep eyes, and said earnestly: "I am old, no matter which prince inherits the throne in the future, I hope that you brothers can live in harmony and assist the court together, and don't repeat the same mistakes." The princes knelt down one after another, expressing their obedience to the emperor.

However, there was a hint of shrewd calculation in the depths of everyone's eyes, as if everyone had their own plans.

Emperor Kang Ren then glanced at the princes and concubines present, and said slowly: "Except Xuan Yi, everyone else should kneel down and leave."

Although the princes were unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice but to obey and knelt in greeting.

After everyone had left, Emperor Kang Ren slowly opened his lips, his voice revealing a barely perceptible heaviness: "Xuan Yi, please invite Hua Qiansong to the palace to treat me. It is difficult for me to find anyone I can trust in this deep palace."

Murong Xuanyi looked embarrassed and responded softly: "Father, considering your past disputes with Hua Qiansong, I'm afraid he is not willing to come."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's expression dimmed slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I have failed him. If...if he still misses Concubine Su, I am willing to help him and return her to him."

When Murong Xuanyi heard this, he immediately felt a little disgusted with him, but he remained calm and said slowly: "Father, Hua Qiansong has found another good partner. This move is enough to show that he has let go of the past."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Ren's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he said firmly: "As long as he can come to the palace to treat me, I am willing to satisfy all his requests. Isn't he Yuan Ying's master? You can ask Yuan Ying to go and lobby."

Murong Xuanyi respectfully agreed: "I will do my best to obey your order!"

Emperor Kang Ren paused for a moment and said earnestly: "Xuan Yi, you must remember the matter about Yuan Ying. This person is a hidden danger and must not be kept. You have also seen that my dragon body is getting weaker and weaker. When you ascend the throne to become the emperor in the future, all the women in the world will belong to you!"

Murong Xuanyi's expression remained calm, but he could not hide his inner anger. He responded softly, "Father's teachings, I will remember them in my heart."
