Chapter 265
At the same time, in a secluded courtyard of the harem, a woman stood quietly behind the luxurious old woman with a wooden plate and her eyes downcast.

There is a small porcelain bottle on the wooden plate.

The noble lady's pointed nails lifted up, and she slowly picked up the porcelain bottle, an old voice sounded in the darkness:

"Yan'er, this is the medicine that can save His Majesty's life. As long as you agree to the post of Grand Tutor of Protecting the Country, you can dispose of this medicine at your own discretion."

Fei Ziyan, who was sitting by the side, raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on the small porcelain vase.

After getting the letter from his sister-in-law, he vaguely guessed that this matter was related to the person in front of him, so he hurried back, but he didn't expect that His Majesty, who felt that his life was not long, saw him and proposed to let him accept the post of protector of the country.

Your Majesty's purpose is easy to understand.

He was afraid that his son would not be able to compete with the regent after his death, and wanted to use him as the protector of the country to shield his son from the wind and rain.

This is use, but also trust, after all, he is the uncle of the country, the "uncle" of the young prince.

But the woman in front of him who is said to be his biological mother is also the most honorable woman in Daye Kingdom. Mr. Fei can't understand why she would want to accept this position.

After all, she had made it clear that she hoped that he would set things right and get back what belonged to him as the heir of the emperor after the death of His Majesty the sick.

At that time, the two held their own opinions and did not compromise with each other, so in the end he chose to leave.

现在
If he accepts the position of Grand Tutor, it is absolutely impossible for him to compete for the throne in the future, so wouldn't all her previous exhortations be in vain?
Mr. Fei always felt that things were not that simple.

"Even if I use this medicine to save His Majesty's life, you won't stop it?"

Mr. Fei was not in a hurry to give an answer, and asked in a calm tone.

"what ever."

The empress dowager let out a chuckle, "I'm old, and I've thought through a lot of things in the past two years. Since you don't want to be high, I will grant your wish, as long as you can always be in front of me."

Mr. Fei frowned slightly, but didn't say a word.

Back then when His Majesty ascended the throne, the current empress dowager, who was the empress at the time, summoned him on the grounds of rewarding meritorious officials, and told him a shocking secret when he was unprepared——
The real blood of the Fei family died in a conspiracy on a rainy night on the day of his birth, and he was the blood of the empress dowager in front of him.

It was also because of that conspiracy that in order to save his life, the Empress Dowager designed him to survive as Fei's eldest son.

And the instigator of that conspiracy is His Majesty's biological mother, Concubine De.

As we all know, the Empress Dowager and Concubine De were once good sisters, otherwise the late Emperor would not have raised His Majesty under the name of the Empress Dowager after Concubine De passed away, and His Majesty today would not have always been filial to the Empress Dowager.

Mr. Fei used to think so too.

But the empress dowager told him that day that it was just an illusion.

She said that Concubine De is her enemy, and His Majesty is her enemy's son.

At the beginning, she was the one who took Concubine De's trick lightly, but after experiencing a painful lesson, she learned how to follow every step.

In the end she won.

She fought to the death of her enemies, but she also missed the best opportunity to set things right, and made her own son miss the most honored seat in Daye Kingdom.

She is not reconciled.

She hoped that after Mr. Fei knew the truth, he would follow her step by step and take back what belonged to him slowly.

There are not many people who know about this, apart from the empress dowager, there is also Mrs. Fei, who is Mr. Fei's biological father.

But what they didn't know was that there was actually another person who also knew about it, and that was the first emperor.

After Mr. Fei rejected the Queen Mother's suggestion to put him in order and resigned from office, the Dragon Soul Guard found him, and since then he has personally protected and used him.

At first, Mr. Fei thought that these were the empress dowager's arrangements, but someone found him and told him that these were the late emperor's plans.

The first emperor knew many things, but he did nothing and let the situation develop until now.

The late emperor had countless strategies during his lifetime, and many arrangements after his death.

Everyone is a pawn of the late emperor.

The first emperor was an excellent chess player.

Mr. Fei's eyes fell on the small porcelain bottle again, could this medicine really save His Majesty's life?
he does not know.

I don't believe the woman in front of me either.

Just now, she said that she changed His Majesty's medicine without anyone noticing and made His Majesty's condition worse. She just wanted to come back by herself, and she didn't really want His Majesty to die.

But the news brought back by the dark guards showed that this was not the case.

This woman never gave up seeking revenge on Concubine De and her son.

The poison accumulated over the years on His Majesty was all caused by her.

Not terribly poisonous, but excruciating.

Moreover, the Great Master was introduced to His Majesty by the Empress Dowager, which alleviated His Majesty's symptoms to a certain extent, but also controlled His Majesty's lifeline.

If she wants His Majesty to live, His Majesty can live, and if she wants His Majesty to die, His Majesty must die.

"Yan'er, does this mean that you don't believe in me?"

The Empress Dowager put the porcelain vase on the table beside her, and gave a chuckle of Mr. Fei's displeasure. With her right hand, she lightly stroked a string of Buddhist beads on her old left wrist, and said:
"Bengong is getting older, and his heart is softening. Sometimes he can't even remember the kindness and resentment. Your majesty is filial to this palace. It is not a bad idea to keep him alive. Besides, his broken body may suffer from taking medicine. It won't be long before I'm old, so there's no need to add another crime to myself."

After a pause, "Besides, the crown prince is young, Mrs. Fei has the gift of nurturing you, and Queen Fei has the gift of saving your life. As the uncle of the country, you have devoted yourself to helping your nephew. In the future, you will be one person under ten thousand people." On top of that, it doesn't count as insulting your origin, if so, I have nothing else to ask for."

After the words fell, the room was silent.

The Empress Dowager looked at Young Master Fei, and Young Master Fei looked at the porcelain vase.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Fei reached out and took the porcelain bottle, "If the Empress Dowager thinks so, it will be a blessing to all people. I will bring the medicine to Your Majesty, and we can talk about the rest after Your Majesty recovers."

Still don't believe her.

The Empress Dowager didn't stop her, and watched Young Master Fei leave with the medicine bottle with a smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Mr. Yan will understand your painstaking efforts sooner or later." The woman next to her comforted her.

The Empress Dowager was still looking at the direction in which Mr. Fei left, and chuckled softly when she heard the words, "After all, I am not a child raised by this palace, and I am afraid that he will not understand the painstaking efforts of this palace."

"Master Yan is so smart, he will understand"

The mother-in-law insisted, as if as long as she firmly believed in this matter, it would become a reality, "You are his biological mother, they say blood is thicker than water, and you would understand you if you weren't raised."

The empress dowager seemed to like this answer very much, she slowly stretched out her hand to support the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law knew how to step forward, bowed and stretched out her hand respectfully, "Are you going back to rest?"

"Do you feel that?" The Empress Dowager didn't seem to hear her mother-in-law's question, and continued after a pause, "The banquet has changed a lot?"

The mother-in-law looked slightly stunned. Although she had been by the empress dowager's side after experiencing that incident, she also knew that at any time, this person's thoughts should not be presumed, so she said:
"You also think Mr. Yan has changed?"

"I don't think so"

The empress dowager raised her feet and looked out of the window, "The change of the medicine was done perfectly. Even the boy regent didn't find any clues, and Yan'er found me within a few days after returning to Yuan. In the past, he Can't do that."

"Perhaps it's just a suspicion?" The woman asked cautiously.

The empress dowager smiled, "It's not just suspicion."

If it was just suspicion, he would not come to her.
