The dripping water outside turned into ice, the cold wind was biting, and the Zichen hall was full of people.

There are empress Xiao, concubine Xu, several high-ranking concubines of emperor Xi, several princesses of different ages, a room full of women and children, but Luo Jing is the only man.

After the imperial doctors stabbed the acupoints with gold needles and filled with medicine, Emperor Xi woke up leisurely.

The cries of the women here were so loud that emperor Xi moved his mouth and Zheng Haiquan came together.

"Your Majesty has orders that everyone step down and leave the prince on his side."

Empress Xiao led the women back to the outer hall, leaving only the prince in the inner hall.

Emperor Xi was supported by Zheng Haiquan on the soft pillow, with an abnormal ruddy complexion. Luo Jing knew that this was the old ginseng soup he had just used. Now it's a reflection.

"You almost understand what should be taught. Daxi will give it to you in the future."

"Father..."

"Two prime ministers, Xu can use it, and Lin should weigh it..."

"I understand."

These Xi emperors had already told Luo Jing that he also understood the reasons. Although Prime Minister Xu has factions, he is also a lonely minister. Prime Minister Lin is just the opposite. Behind him is a deeply rooted aristocratic family. The aristocratic family must not use it. It is the right way to restrain and promote it.

Fortunately, although emperor Xi had all kinds of bad things, he was quite clear in government affairs. For so many years, the aristocratic family has been oppressed by him, so the Lin family took the lead in Lin Jian.

Emperor Xi didn't speak any more. Zheng Haiquan came in and whispered, "the two prime ministers are here."

"Xuan -"

Outside the Zichen hall, the hall was full of people kneeling, and the hall was full of repressed sobs.

Everyone was at a loss. After all, almost all the people kneeling here were related to Emperor Xi. A new generation of monarchs replaced the old emperor. People like them will no longer be the emperor's concubines, but become imperial concubines. It's OK to have children and women. Without children and women, you can only waste your life in this deep palace.

Empress Xiao is the only one with the calmest mood here. Among these people, she is a well deserved winner. When Xinjun ascends the throne, she will be the Empress Dowager. Xinjun has no mother, so there will only be such a empress dowager in the harem.

Daxi values filial piety. It is conceivable that she will be honored in the future. Even if it doesn't agree with Xinjun, as long as she is the empress dowager, Xinjun must respect her, not to mention the future queen or her niece.

After about a quarter of an hour, the prince and the two prime ministers stepped out of the inner hall with a solemn look.

Zheng Haiquan said hoarsely, "empress Xuan -"

Empress Xiao stood up straight, her eyes half drooping, her face full of endless grief, but she held her identity and forbeared, not if other people cried without image. She walked slowly for two steps and stumbled. Finally, she couldn't restrain her sadness and ran into the inner hall.

This scene entered the eyes of Luo Jing and the two prime ministers. Luo Jing's face was calm, and the two prime ministers showed different colors.

"Your Majesty..."

Empress Xiao fell beside the Dragon couch and burst into tears.

"Min'er, how long have you married me?"

"More than 40 years from now."

Emperor Xi showed a trance smile, and his shriveled and pale lips seemed to say something, because the voice was too small for Empress Xiao to hear clearly. He raised his hand and empress Xiao tried to straighten up and sat down on the edge of the couch.

"Min'er, have you ever regretted marrying me?"

Empress Xiao was stunned, "No."

"I... Have never regretted marrying you. You are my crown princess, my queen, and my only queen."

Empress Xiao's face looked both sad and happy, and tears rolled out again.

"Your Majesty..."

"Now I'm leaving, don't you give up?"

"My concubine is very sad..."

Emperor Xi showed a smile with unknown meaning.

The inner hall was so quiet that the needle could be heard, and the gentle voice of emperor Xi suddenly sounded.

"... I'll give you two choices. Go with me and live, but there's no place for the Empress Dowager..."

Empress Xiao was immersed in grief until emperor Xi's words were completely finished.

"Your Majesty?"
