Sister, look at him!

Chapter 222 The Empress Dowager, the Empress's Enemy

Royal Garden.

It was mid-April, and the peonies were in full bloom. He Qingwan sat in the pavilion, gazing into the distance in a daze.

The client's wish is to raise Xuan Qixiao to adulthood and then support him to become a wise monarch.

But how can she help Xuan Qixiao secure the throne?

The second prince, Prince Sheng, and the fourth prince, Prince Xuan, are both in the capital, and Xuan Yi cannot drive them away without reason, which is really a headache.

"What are you thinking about?"

A faint fragrance came from the side, and He Qingwan turned his head and saw a face with a smile brighter than a flower.

Eight years have passed, and the King of Chu is already thirty-six years old, but he is still exactly the same as before, without any change.

"I'm thinking about how to drive King Sheng and King Xuan out of the capital." He Qingwan did not hide it from King Chu and asked him for advice, "Do you have any ideas?"

The King of Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult, but it's not easy either. The second son has already started a family. If he takes the initiative to ask to go to the fiefdom, the third son will agree."

He Qingwan suddenly realized that she had forgotten that she could also let Prince Sheng and Prince Xuan "take the initiative" to propose leaving the capital.

"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely satisfy A-Mi." The tenderness in the eyes of the King of Chu could melt even ice and snow, but unfortunately He Qingwan's heart was made of stone.

"I'll leave it to you..." He Qingwan seemed to be thinking about something, and a smile appeared on her lips. "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

The next day, Prince Sheng and Prince Xuan took the initiative to ask Xuan Yi to let them go to their fiefdoms. Xuan Yi naturally agreed, although he didn't know why, but they would benefit more from leaving.

A few days later, rumors spread in the court, all of which were that the King of Chu had forced his two younger brothers away.

The King of Chu was not stupid, and He Qingwan did not deliberately conceal it. He knew that it was He Qingwan's doing almost on the day the rumor spread.

He didn't understand why He Qingwan did this.

That night, he sneaked into Kunning Palace quietly.

The King of Chu lifted the gauze curtain beside the bed, but before he could see the scene inside, a cold dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Ami, it's me." The King of Chu wanted to hold He Qingwan's hand, but was pushed back by the dagger, and a bloody mark appeared on his neck.

"What are you doing here?" He Qingwan saw the hurt expression on King Chu's face in the moonlight.

"I just don't understand, A-mi, why would you do that?"

"Don't you know that you are the biggest obstacle to Qi Xiao's becoming emperor?" He Qingwan put away the dagger and put it back under the pillow. She turned away and did not look at the King of Chu. "Xuan Cang, do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest desire for the throne?"

It existed before, but now...

King Chu looked at He Qingwan's profile and said firmly, "Of course I dare, A'mi, I swear to heaven that I have no interest in the throne at all."

He Qingwan could not sense any sign that the King of Chu was lying.

Either he is too good at pretending, or what he said is true.

Whatever the possibility, stay calm.

He Qingwan slowed down his tone, "Xuan Cang, maybe I'm overthinking it, but you shouldn't do something that would cause me to misunderstand."

The main point is not to waste your energy on yourself and blame others.

"What have I done to cause you to misunderstand me?" The King of Chu felt wronged. He didn't even make friends with ministers in the court. He usually only played with Wanqi Fei and people from his maternal grandfather's family.

He Qingwan didn't speak.

So the King of Chu began to rack his brains to recall what he had done that would cause He Qingwan to misunderstand him, but he couldn't think of anything.

He didn't get involved in the affairs of the court, and he didn't talk to the ladies of the noble families. So how could He Qingwan feel insecure?

"It's getting late, Xuancang, you should go back first." How could He Qingwan say that his survival was the biggest reason.

"Ami, look at me... or let me look at you." The King of Chu had already lowered his attitude to the lowest level. "Where did I go wrong? Can you tell me? Ami..."

"There's an assassin!! Catch the assassin!!!"

The dark night was instantly ignited by the fire. He Qingwan suddenly opened the gauze curtain and warned King Chu with a surprised look in his eyes, "You'd better leave quickly, otherwise if others find you here, I will definitely be cursed by the world."

After these words were spoken, the King of Chu calmed down instantly. He could be scolded, but He Qingwan could not.

"Meet in the Imperial Garden tomorrow."

After saying this, the King of Chu left in a hurry.

He Qingwan wanted to lie down, but he always felt a little uneasy.

[Liuliu, check the prince's vital signs.]

[Don't worry, Hebao. The prince is a key figure and has been targeted. No matter what happens, I can't hide it from him! ]

That's good.

He Qingwan lay down, but still felt that his heart beat was a little abnormal.

[Liuliu, check on Xuanyi.]

[Okay, I'll find out where he is.]

Three seconds later, [He Bao! Xuan Yi has several debuffs on him! He is going to die! ]

Dead? No, Xuan Qixiao was only nine years old, and the court officials would never agree to let him ascend the throne, especially when Xuan Cang was in his prime.

He Qingwan sat up straight, "Baozhu! Ruyin! Come and help me wash up!"

Qianqing Palace.

Xuan Yi lay on the dragon bed with a weak breath. The skilled imperial doctors all fell silent after examining his injuries.

He Qingwan hurried over, holding up the hem of her skirt. No matter what, Xuan Yi could not die now.

"Cousin! Cousin——"

He Qingwan rushed to the dragon bed and held Xuan Yi's hand. Under the cover of his wide sleeves, 006 was giving him a full body examination.

[He Bao, the poison has already entered his internal organs. Only a god can save him.]

It means that there is no hope of saving him.

He Qingwan couldn't save him even if he had the ability.

Damn assassin, "Where are the guards? They can't even stop an assassin. All of you should be beaten with a stick!"

Compared with He Qingwan's hoarse voice, Xuan Yi's voice seemed as thin as a mosquito.

He kept calling He Qingwan's name, "Ami...Ami..."

"I'm here, cousin, I'm here." He Qingwan squeezed out a few tears and dropped them on the back of Xuan Yi's hand.

“Don’t cry, A’mi. Your sister Jin will be heartbroken if she finds out…” Xuan Yi’s voice became smaller and smaller. “A’mi… take good care of Qi Xiao… I, I’ll go look for Jin’er first…”

Xuan Yi was silent, and He Qingwan really wanted to cry. She had never governed a country, and the original owner's brother and father were both military commanders, so the only person she could rely on was Censor Liu, but Censor Liu was just a censor after all!

"cousin--"

He Qingwan burst into tears.

Xuan Qixiao also arrived late at this time.

"Father, father!"

The child, who was not even ten years old, lay beside Xuan Yi's bed and cried bitterly.

He Qingwan stopped crying after someone took over. She wiped her tears and was supported by Baozhu to the door of the hall. She suppressed her grief and announced that the emperor had passed away and passed the throne to the crown prince Xuan Qixiao.

There is no way to not pass on the knowledge to Xuan Qixiao, as Xuan Yi only has him as his only child.
