After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

The Queen paused for a moment as she twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand. Her face suddenly turned pale, and her fingers gripping the beads trembled slightly. "What's wrong with him? Why, why does he want the blood of his closest relative?"

"Your Majesty, the four nations recently gathered to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince welcomed the envoys from the three nations on behalf of the Emperor, but he was accidentally tricked and tricked by someone with ulterior motives. He was poisoned by the blood-loving Gu from Nanzhao, and is now in imminent danger. Princess Zhaohua personally consulted with the doctor and said that in order to draw out the Gu, the blood of a close relative is needed!"

Su Qi raised his eyes slightly and saw that the queen looked like she had lost her spirit, her eyes were dull, her lips were bitten white, and her whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

He lowered his head and continued, "Your Majesty, please ask me to fetch the poisonous blood. Just one drop will do!"

He didn't say that the emperor had actually taken his own blood, but it didn't work, so he came to take her blood.

He has been in the palace for many years and has won the emperor's favor. He was able to climb to his current position thanks to his ability to understand people's hearts and perceive the emperor's intentions.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong with the blood drawing just now.

This time, coming to take the blood of the Emperor and Empress is more of a test and speculation by Your Majesty.

After Su Qi finished speaking, the hall was completely silent. A chill rose from the soles of his feet, as if he were in a world of ice and snow.

After an unknown amount of time, a barely perceptible voice finally rang out from above, "The law of nature is clear, and retribution is inevitable... All of this has finally come to pass..."

There was a chill and trembling in the voice, which made people shudder.

Upon hearing this, Su Qi just stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

But the queen had already stood up and walked out of the palace.

Su Qi was so scared that he quickly chased after her. He didn't understand. He just came to get a drop of blood to save the prince, so why did he force the queen out of the palace?

But he dared neither ask nor urge, so he could only follow the queen and lead the way in time.

Along the way, everyone in the harem knew one thing, that is, the Queen Mother, who had been sealed in the palace for many years, finally came out today.

A large number of palace servants followed closely behind, wanting to see where the Queen's first stop would be after she came out.

Walk to the outside of the Qinzheng Hall.

Su Qi instinctively reported: The Queen has arrived!

With just one sound, everyone in the hall stood up in shock, even the prince who was struggling in pain paused for a moment.

Because of the pain, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he had a white towel in his mouth. Zhong Ning thought he was too noisy and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the palace gate, wanting to see the figure of his mother whom he had not seen for many years, but there was no one at the palace gate.

Emperor Yong strode out of the palace, followed closely by Zhong Ning.

The queen was wearing plain clothes and no makeup, kneeling straight at the palace gate.

Seeing Emperor Yong coming out of the palace, her straight back suddenly bent down, "The sinner Fu Rongzhen pays homage to His Majesty!"

sinner?

Zhong Ning stared closely at the woman in front of him who was dressed very simply. The moment she knelt down to apologize, he instinctively moved to the side.

Even if she calls herself a sinner, she is still the queen.

Only the emperor could accept her gift.

Zhong Ning looked in the direction of Emperor Yong, and saw that Emperor Yong had a serious look in his eyes, staring at the person in front of him without saying a word.

Perhaps realizing that what was about to be discussed was a private matter and should not be publicized, Emperor Yong did not get angry. Instead, he turned and went into the palace.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty wants you to come in!" Su Qi understood what Emperor Yong meant and quickly reminded her, while signaling the palace servants to help her up.

Zhong Ning also hurried over and helped the queen up.

The moment their eyes met, there was a flash of light like thunder and lightning. The queen's empty eyes seemed to suddenly light up, staring at Zhong Ning intently.

"Empress, this is Princess Zhaohua!" Su Qi reminded again.

Zhong Ning finally put down his hand and bowed to the Queen, "Zhaohua, I greet the Queen!"

Before the ceremony was over, the queen opposite her suddenly grabbed her, her eyes filled with infinite sadness, and she just stared at her.

Zhong Ning was frightened and instinctively wanted to step back, but he heard a roar from the hall: "Hurry up and get in!"

It was Emperor Yong's fierce roar that rose from the palace.

Zhong Ning was forced to support the queen's body and walk into the palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he met Emperor Yong's gloomy eyes full of anger.

And the Crown Prince Murong Fu, who was tied up like a dumpling and whimpering on the Huanghuali carved bed.

The queen knelt down again to apologize!

Zhong Ning stood aside, at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he decided it was best for him not to get involved in such matters. He then said, "Your Majesty, how about I go down first and come back after you finish talking?"

Emperor Yong gave her a cold look.

He then signaled Su Qi to use a golden needle to draw blood and treat the prince first.

Su Qi was silent for a moment.

I wailed in my heart, this was all His Majesty's idea. If you want to blame someone, blame His Majesty!

Su Qi held the golden needle, stood aside, and said softly, "My Lady, I'm sorry!"

But the Queen suddenly put her hands behind her back, her eyes cold and clear, "No need. If the prince needs the blood of a close relative, my blood will be of no use."

Emperor Yong:........

Everyone present:........

Emperor Yong pressed his eyebrows, feeling that the shameless guess was becoming clearer and clearer, but he still wanted to confirm it again.

"How dare you! You are the prince's biological mother!" Emperor Yong's voice was cold, as if he was confirming invisibly that he was wearing a hat.

But the queen shook her head slightly, raised her tearful eyes, and said something shocking, "The prince is not my concubine's son!"

There was a loud bang, like thunder from the sky, which struck everyone present to the bone, including the Crown Prince Murong Fu who was still struggling on the bed.

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that he was still in pain and torture, and his mother's words kept echoing in his ears: The prince was not born by me!

Zhong Ning was so shocked that he retreated three feet.

Damn it, she just wanted to save the crown prince and prevent him from being used by Nanzhao. Why, why did she encounter such a bloody thing?

Su Qi couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He felt so terrified and desperate as if death was imminent that he knelt on the ground and trembled.

Emperor Yong's face became gloomy, as black as ink, as if a volcano could erupt at any time, making it suffocating.

"You, said, what?" Emperor Yong asked again through gritted teeth.

The Queen straightened her body, looked up at the Emperor's anger, and said word by word:

"Back then, Concubine Wu and I were pregnant at the same time. Your Majesty had just ascended the throne, and the whole court was paying close attention. Furthermore, there were rumors in the palace that the one born first would be the noble son, and the noble son would be born to carry on the country's fortunes!"

"Although I am the Empress and respected by Your Majesty, in the end, Your Majesty still loves the gentle and considerate women from the south of the Yangtze River like Concubine Wu."

"She already surpasses me in favor. If she gives birth to another child, how will I survive in the harem?"
