Li Mu took Ying Yuan into the thatched cottage, only to see a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed in meditation.

"Miracle doctor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests to see you." Li Mu said respectfully.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Ying Yuan, and said calmly, "What can I do for you, Your Highness?"

Ying Yuan told the old man about the queen's condition.

After hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "The Queen's madness is caused by a huge stimulus. I can cure her, but it will take some time."

Ying Yuan quickly said, "As long as the queen can be cured, it doesn't matter how long it takes!"

The old man nodded and said, "Then please ask your Highness to keep the Queen here."

Ying Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He handed the queen to the old man and left the valley.

After returning to the palace, Ying Yuan immediately summoned his ministers to discuss how to deal with the wise king's conspiracy.

The ministers expressed their opinions, but none of them found an effective solution.

Ying Yuan was extremely anxious. He knew that if he could not get rid of the virtuous king as soon as possible, he would lose everything.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in, "Your Highness, it's bad! The virtuous king... the virtuous king... he has raised an army!"

Ying Yuan stood up suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Finally here!"

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, the whole army is on alert and ready to fight!"

A bloody storm is about to begin...

Ying Yuan took a deep breath, and swept his cold eyes over the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "The wise king is plotting treason, and his crime is unforgivable! I will immediately call up the troops and personally lead the expedition to suppress him!"

The atmosphere in the court was solemn. The ministers were silent, and no one dared to offend the emperor at this time.

"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this!" The old prime minister stood up tremblingly, "You are a person of great wealth, how can you easily take risks? Why not send General Li Mu to lead the army? He will surely be able to put down the rebellion!"

Ying Yuan sneered: "Prime Minister, have you become confused? The virtuous king is my brother. If I don't go to the battle myself, how can I explain to the people of the world? How can I comfort the spirit of my mother in heaven?"

The prime minister wanted to persuade him again, but Ying Yuan waved his hand and said sternly: "No need to say more! My mind is made up! Li Mu listen to my orders!"

"I'm here!" Li Mu knelt on one knee and responded in a deep voice.

"I order you to be the vanguard. Immediately select 100,000 soldiers and go ahead to suppress the rebellion! I will be there soon!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Li Mu took the order and left. Ying Yuan then slowly sat down, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. His mother was crazy, and the virtuous king rebelled. All of this was caused by the mastermind behind the scenes! He must find this venomous snake hiding in the dark and tear it into pieces!

At this moment, a eunuch ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Queen... The Queen she... she..."

Ying Yuan's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind, "What happened to the Queen?!"

"The Queen... The Queen... She hanged herself!"

"boom!"

Ying Yuan felt his mind go blank, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. He staggered back a few steps, holding onto the dragon chair, and managed to stabilize himself.

The Queen... hanged herself?

How can this be? !
He had clearly handed the queen over to the miracle doctor for treatment, so why did something like this happen? !
Could it be... Could it be that something went wrong with the miracle doctor? !
Ying Yuan was filled with rage and he wished he could fly to the valley immediately and cut the miracle doctor into pieces!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." the eunuch beside him called out cautiously.

Ying Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order to bury the queen with honor! Three days later, I will personally lead the army to fight against the rebels!"

"According to the order!"

Three days later, Ying Yuan personally led the army and left Xianyang in a mighty manner, heading towards the fiefdom where the wise king was.

The army advanced with great force and soon broke through the wise king's first line of defense.

Ying Yuan stood on the high platform, looking at the rebels fleeing in panic in the distance, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent. "Where do you think you can escape to?!"

Ying Yuan sneered, drew the sword from his waist, raised it high above his head, and said sternly: "All troops, listen to my order, chase them! Don't leave any one alive!"

"kill!"

The army surged out like a tide, chasing after the defeated rebels.

Ying Yuan rode a tall horse and led his personal guards in pursuit, and soon caught up with the remnants of the wise king.

The virtuous king was already seriously injured and in a miserable state. He looked at Ying Yuan, who was full of murderous intent, with despair in his eyes.

"Brother, spare my life..."

Ying Yuan sneered and pointed his sword at the virtuous king, "Spare my life? You have been plotting rebellion, killing loyal officials, and framing my mother, and now you still have the nerve to beg for mercy?!"

The virtuous king turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, I... I was confused for a moment..."

"A moment of confusion?!" Ying Yuan shouted angrily, "For the throne, you didn't hesitate to kill your own flesh and blood and framed your mother. What else do you have to say now?!"

The wise king knew that he could not escape death, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "The winner will be the king, the loser will be the bandit, I will be killed or chopped, it's all up to you!"

Ying Yuan stopped talking and pierced the king's chest with a sword.

The wise king widened his eyes and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Ying Yuan looked at the body of the virtuous king without any pity in his heart.

"Come here, hang the traitor's body on the city gate as a warning to others!"

"According to the order!"

After dealing with the wise king, Ying Yuan immediately returned to the court.

After returning to Xianyang, Ying Yuan immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the case of the Queen's suicide.

After some investigation, the truth finally came to light.

It turned out that the queen did not hang herself, but was murdered!

The murderer who murdered the queen was none other than the so-called "hidden miracle doctor"!
This "miracle doctor" was actually a spy sent by the virtuous king. He pretended to treat the queen, but in fact he was secretly poisoning her, which eventually led to her death!
After Ying Yuan learned the truth, he was furious and immediately ordered the arrest of the "miracle doctor" and his execution by slow slicing!

At this point, the palace strife finally came to an end.

Although Ying Yuan successfully put down the rebellion, his heart was filled with grief and exhaustion.

The Queen Mother went crazy, the Queen died, and the virtuous king also died...

He lost so much...

He stood alone in the empty palace, feeling confused.

He doesn't know where his future lies, nor does he know where to go...

At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind him, "Brother Yuan..."

Ying Yuan turned around suddenly and saw a woman in white standing behind him, looking at him coquettishly...

Ying Yuan turned around abruptly, but what he saw was not the gentle and demure mother in his memory, but a woman in ragged clothes, dishevelled hair, and empty eyes. The woman smiled foolishly, muttering to herself: "Flowers... beautiful flowers..."

Ying Yuan felt a pain in his heart. Was this his mother who once ruled the country? The once elegant and noble woman had now become like this! How could he accept this?

"Mother..." Ying Yuan called out with sobs.

The woman seemed not to hear his call. She still smiled foolishly and reached out to catch the petals falling from the air.

Ying Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, and took a step forward, hugging his mother tightly in his arms, "Mother, it's Yuan'er... Don't you recognize Yuan'er?" (End of this chapter)
