That night, Xia Qingcang went into the palace to see Emperor Yanxi, who was dying of illness.

On the dragon bed, Emperor Yanxi looked pale and old, and coughed from time to time in his sleep. As soon as the prince's bad behavior came out, Emperor Yanxi, who was already seriously ill, was so angry that he vomited blood, and his condition naturally became more serious. Tai

The hospital has expressed that it is helpless, and the royal family, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are already preparing for the funeral.

In the middle of the court, the situation was even more chaotic. Originally, when the emperor died and the prince succeeded to the throne, it was just a matter of smooth handover between the emperor and the courtiers. But at this critical juncture, it was revealed that the prince had an affair with the concubine, and was imprisoned for his immoral conduct.

Entering the Imperial Academy, not to mention the crown prince's position, even his life is not guaranteed.

So now that the crown prince's position is empty and Emperor Yanxi is critically ill, who will be the next successor?

In the past few days, the calls for Prince Xia Sheng's succession have become louder and louder.

However, Xia Qingcang silently brought Su Wen into the palace and took a look at Emperor Yanxi's condition.

"He is poisoned, not sick. It is a chronic poison that cannot be noticed on weekdays. But once it attacks, it will slowly erode the body's essence. He will die within three months. Moreover, the death condition is not suspicious at all, and there is no trace of poisoning.

." Su Wen took a pulse and confirmed the diagnosis. He didn't have much sympathy for Emperor Yanxi, "Do you want to cure him?"

"I want Emperor Yanxi to die at the end of this month, but the man in front of me has to live for a long time." Xia Qingcang pulled Suwen up from the dragon bed with a cold and cruel expression, "Is there anything you can do?"

Frowning her eyebrows, Su Wen looked at him in confusion, "Didn't you poison me?" She thought he wanted to delay Emperor Xi's death!

"Huh!" Xia Qingcang snorted coldly and took her into his arms, "Do you think the Xue family didn't find out about Zijue's poisoning? There is no fool in the Xue family. How could Concubine Xue allow her only son to be killed? Xue Jinren

It’s even more sophisticated.”

"It's the Xue family." Su Wen nodded slightly, "Then why did you save him?" Didn't he hate Emperor Yanxi very much? Now that the Xue family had taken action first, he refused to follow the trend and wanted Emperor Yanxi to die.

The man in front of me has to live for a long time. This means that Emperor Yanxi is allowed to die, but the man on the dragon bed has to be smuggled out and live for a long time. Why bother?

"Death, it's too easy for him." Xia Qingcang's expression became even colder, with a cold light in his eyes. Looking at Xia Junwei on the dragon bed, he had already prepared the end for Xia Junwei.

Her heart tightened, Su Wen reached out and hugged him back. She could clearly feel his deep hatred, and looking at his cold and sinister eyes, her heart ached slightly. She didn't know what Emperor Yanxi did back then to create him.

Such deep hatred.

"I will try my best." Su Wen reached out and touched his stern face, stroking it gently, hoping to soothe the hatred in his heart.

Raising his hand to hold hers, Xia Qingcang's expression softened a little. "I will be very busy next. You stay in the palace. If there is nothing important, don't go out."

"Yes." Nodding, Su Wen leaned on his chest, "I'll prepare a prescription for you."

"Yes." Xia Qingcang hugged her gently and nodded slowly.

"Xia Qingcang, you..." Su Wen buried her cheek in his chest, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Are you going to be the emperor?" Emperor Yanxi will die at the end of this month, and the prince will be deposed for bad conduct.

The other princes are still young. In the past few days, there have been loud calls for Prince Xia Sheng to ascend the throne in the capital. And he has been planning for many years and has made careful decisions. The throne is easily available, so there is no reason not to want it, right?

But in her heart, she didn't want him to be the emperor.

She couldn't explain why she didn't want to do it, she just felt a faint fear in her heart.

"You don't want me to take it?" Lowering his head and raising her face, Xia Qingcang stared at her face intently, not missing the slightest change in her expression.

"I," Su Wen lowered his head subconsciously, but he couldn't lower his chin as he lifted it, so he only lowered his eyelids, "I don't want to."

"Why?" Xia Qingcang firmly held her chin, refusing to let her go, and continued to ask.

"I don't know." Su Wen closed her eyes and avoided his gaze, "I just think that the imperial family is not good." It's so heartless! For the sake of the throne, the father poisoned his own son, and the wife poisoned her husband in revenge...

"It's really not good." Xia Qingcang finally let go of her chin and hugged her body tightly with both hands.

"What about you?" Su Wen looked up at him.

Xia Qingcang chuckled, "I never planned to be the emperor."

"Really?" Su Wen was surprised at first, then puzzled, "Why?"

"My mother died tragically because of that dragon chair. I hate Xia Junwei and I hate the throne." With his eyes closed, Xia Qingcang expressed the hatred that had been buried in his heart for many years.

"Eldest princess?" He frowned, and Su Wen felt his deep hatred again. What happened back then? Didn't the eldest princess die in battle? Why did he mean what he said, but it was for the throne?

, killed by Emperor Yanxi.

Closing her eyes, Xia Qingcang's whole body was enveloped by a cold air, and even Su Wen beside her was shivering from the cold.

"Xia Qingcang." Su Wen felt a pain in his heart and hugged him tightly, "Don't do this!"

I don't know what he remembered, Xia Qingcang stared at Emperor Yanxi on the dragon bed with murderous eyes, and clenched his hands into fists. With that look, he really wanted to go up and strangle him to death.

"Don't be like this!" Su Wen's hands climbed up to his face and stroked him gently, "Retaliate, take revenge severely, I will help you! Take complete revenge, and then forget about it."

Slowly, Xia Qingcang held her hand, and her expression gradually recovered.

Revenge harshly and then forget about it?

He also hopes that he can do it.

Looking down at her fair and beautiful face, he felt a little warm in his heart. With her by his side, maybe he could do it.

Complete revenge has officially begun...
