Three days later, a message came from the Taoyao Palace.

Princess Taoyao fainted due to a hunger strike and is still bedridden.

When Qin Ke heard this, he thought for a moment and asked Imperial Doctor Xi to go to Taoyao Palace.

Among the many imperial doctors, Xi Qing was the one he trusted the most, and he wanted to know if this Tao Yanqi was really fainting from hunger strike, or if he was fooling him.

After receiving the news, Xi Qing immediately went to Taoyao Palace, and under the leadership of the palace maid, she stepped into Taoyan's room.

The room was dark, the doors and windows were closed, but the air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Because Tao Yanqi didn't like the palace maid to step into her room, there was no one else in the room at this time except Tao Yanqi and Xi Qing.

Xi Qing bypassed the screen and saw Tao Yanqi sitting on the bed smiling and eating peach blossom cake.

Xi Qing: ......

"Your Royal Highness, what do you mean by this?" Xi Qing asked with a cold face.

Tao Yan laughed, "Imperial Doctor Xi wants to eat this peach blossom cake?" ”

Xi Qing shook his head, "If Her Royal Highness the princess ignores it, then the minister will retire." ”

"Wait." Tao Yanqi put down the peach blossom cake, wiped her mouth again, and then said, "I can help you leave the government." ”

Xi Qing's face turned cold, "The minister doesn't understand what Her Royal Highness the princess means." ”

"I made a deal with Sima Yu, I helped you leave the palace, and he helped me ascend to the throne of the queen." Tao Yanqi said.

"Sima Yu?" Xi Qing muttered, "How can I trust you?" ”

Tao Yanqi had long known that Xi Qing had such a question, so she directly took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Xi Qing.

"He knew you would be suspicious, so he wrote a letter, you see."

Xi Qing took the letter and read it, and after a moment, she took a deep breath.

"What am I going to do?"

"It's simple, cooperate with me." Tao Yan said with a smile.

After that, Tao Yanqi told Xi Qing how to cooperate with her, and an hour later, Xi Qing left Taoyao Palace.

Xi Qing came to the cultivation hall and reported Tao Yanqi's physical condition to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke sat on the high throne with an indifferent expression.

"Is there anything wrong with her?"

Xi Qing knelt down, "Your Majesty, Princess Taoyao did faint, and she ......"

Qin Ke suddenly clenched his fists, "And what?" ”

"And Princess Taoyao has a heart disease, the minister just persuaded her to eat something, but if the heart disease is not removed, I'm afraid it will ......"

Even if Xi Qing didn't say it, Qin Ke knew what was behind her.

"Heart disease?" Qin Ke sneered, "Is it because of Sima Yu?" ”

Xi Qing shook his head slowly and sighed.

At this moment, Qin Ke was stunned, "What does Xi Aiqing mean?" ”

"The minister doesn't know whether to talk about something or not." Xi Qing kept kneeling and made a full posture.

"I'll tell you the truth." At this moment, I don't know why, Qin Ke's heart suddenly beat a little fast.

"The person that Princess Taoyao is happy with is actually ......" Xi Qing lay on the ground, "It's Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent, so quiet that only the sound of gasping breathing could be heard.

At this moment, Qin Ke couldn't tell what he felt, some were apprehensive, some were unbelievable, but more than that, it was a sense of satisfaction and surprise.

"Is that true? Where to start? Qin Ke asked.

Xi Qing lay on the ground, and secretly said in his heart that he really understood the emperor, but he actually guessed the emperor's reaction.

After that, Xi Qing told Qin Ke what Tao Yan had given her.
