"You four are so loyal and loyal. When the emperor was in trouble, no one was in the palace?"
Facing the questioning from the Queen Mother, a little old lady, Ye Yuan felt extremely speechless.
Can this matter be blamed on him? Xichang was newly established and was too weak. Moreover, the affairs in the palace had been taken care of by the three people around him, so Xichang had no room to interfere.
This is really a fire at the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond!
However, this was not an opportunity to defend herself. After all, the little old lady was obviously angry.
Concubine Wan Gui, on the other hand, felt aggrieved for Ye Yuan and muttered in a low voice with an unhappy look on her face.
"This has nothing to do with Xiao Yuzi. Xichang has only been established a few days ago, and Xichang has no way to get involved in matters within the palace."
In fact, this is not only to defend Ye Yuan, but also for herself.
The little old lady understood in her heart, she just didn't care. After all, it would be too troublesome to carry one out alone.
She finally glanced at Wan Zhen'er and scolded her.
"I haven't told you yet. As a queen, the imperial concubine lets the emperor do whatever he wants..."
Under the pressure of filial piety, even though the two daughters-in-law felt aggrieved and thought that persuasion was useless, and it was the emperor who forced them to board the ship, they could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
However, the queen felt even more aggrieved. She could not help but turn her head slightly and glared at Concubine Wan Gui fiercely: You are the only one who talks too much!
The little old lady either said she was tired or vented some of her inner anger, so she let Ye Yuan and the others get up.
Then, naturally, a swarm of people came to care about the emperor.
Only Ye Yuan approached Wan Zhen'er calmly, and when no one was paying attention, he put his hand on her back.
Wan Zhen'er was shocked. Just as she was about to shake it off, she felt a stream of heat flowing in. She suddenly felt warm and the chill in her bones was swept away.
After a while, Wan Zhen'er's face turned rosy, her slightly blocked nose was cleared, and she felt more energetic.
Her eyes were bright, she looked at Ye Yuan and then at the emperor lying on the bed, her mind became active.
the other side.
"Imperial physician, how is the emperor doing?"
An old man with gray hair took back his hand, his face was solemn, and his mood was even more complicated.
He is the chief magistrate of Taiyuan Hospital, the sixth rank, and his status is second only to that of the fifth rank.
Generally speaking, the emperor's health was taken care of by one person, the court judge, who usually did not have the opportunity to treat the emperor.
Moreover, as their hospital envoy was very dedicated, he did not have the opportunity to diagnose the emperor. Therefore, it was the first time for him to know how the emperor's health was.
If it hadn't been for today, when the hospital envoy took leave to visit relatives and was out of the capital, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.
However, today's diagnosis made his heart freeze.
Before he came, he was a little panicked when he heard that the emperor had fallen into the water.
However, considering that the emperor was in his prime and young and strong, there shouldn't be any serious problems.
He felt a little relieved now, and when he came here and saw the queen and Concubine Wan Gui, who were fine, he felt even more at ease.
However, as soon as he felt his pulse, he panicked, completely panicked.
He confirmed it more than a dozen times in disbelief, but still got the same result: the emperor was invaded by foreign evil spirits, and he will die soon!
In fact, for ordinary people, the invasion of external evil would not be a big problem at all. The situation of the Queen and Concubine Wan Gui can illustrate the problem very well.
The point is, the emperor is not an ordinary person.
Although he looks like a healthy young man on the outside, in fact... his essence has long been damaged on the inside, and his energy and spirit are on the verge of exhaustion.
If it weren't for the large amount of nourishing medicine that kept him strong, this would have been a corpse long ago.
It's just...can I say these?
The old hospital magistrate has realized that there is a big problem for the hospital magistrate who takes leave to go home to visit relatives.
Moreover, he himself has definitely fallen into the center of a huge conspiracy.
If this is not handled well, it will be a small matter of personal life and death, but a big matter of the nine clans.
But facing the Queen Mother's increasingly serious expression, the old court judge couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"...The original source was damaged, coupled with the invasion of external evil spirits, the fever persisted and he fell into coma."
The little old lady's face turned pale, her body swayed and she quickly sat up again, and then asked in disbelief.
"The origin is damaged, the emperor is still so young, and there is also an imperial physician..."
The Queen Mother paused and almost immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.
After all, if even the court judge could see something, how could the court envoy not see it? Moreover, this man was visiting relatives.
There is a conspiracy here!
She suddenly turned pale and gave the order immediately.
"Cao Zhengchun, send someone to arrest the envoy and bring him to justice, and...I want to live! You should know the seriousness of the matter!"
Cao Zhengchun's heart trembled and he quickly assured.
"Yes, I will definitely catch you alive."
After Cao Zhengchun went out, the little old lady's expression did not improve and she asked.
"What are the symptoms of damaged origin?"
The old court judge knew why the Queen Mother asked this question. After all, the emperor had always been very healthy. He explained honestly.
"Although the emperor's origin has been damaged, he has been nourished by various precious medicines. Although these medicines cannot make up for the origin, they still make the emperor behave exactly like a normal person. There is no abnormality, but there is only one thing..."
The little old lady was eager to know the answer and asked eagerly.
"Just what? Say it quickly!"
The imperial doctor suppressed his fear and spoke softly.
"...Only one thing is that the emperor...has no queen."
Although the report was made in a low voice, in this silent palace, it was no less than a thunder, shaking people's hearts and minds.
After all, this is an emperor without a queen. How can an emperor without a queen be able to secure his throne?
How could the little old lady, as an elderly person and a mother, bear such a huge blow? She murmured to herself gloomily.
"No wonder, no wonder the emperor has never had children. It turns out...emperor, who harmed you..."
The next moment, she rolled her eyes and fell backwards. Wei Zhongxian had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her.
However, she was a well-trained Queen Mother after all, and she was stronger than anyone expected. She woke up quickly and immediately asked the imperial doctor for advice.
"How to treat it?"
"Decoctions, acupuncture, and internal energy masters need to be assisted, but..."
The Queen Mother said firmly.
"There is no but, you must save the emperor!"
"yes."
The old court judge did not dare to refute, but he was extremely pessimistic and worried about his nine tribes.
The little old lady thought about the current situation, made a decision immediately, and said with stern eyes.
"Today, no word is allowed to be spread about anything that happened in this room. Anyone who violates this rule will be shot to death!"
"yes!"
After Wei Zhongxian received the order, he immediately went out to summon the royal family members, surrounded the palace, and did not allow anyone to enter or exit at will.
The Queen Mother took a breath and then gave her instructions one by one.
"There must be no chaos in the previous dynasty. Wei Zhongxian, you go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and work normally! We must stabilize the ministers."
"Cao Zhengchun, you lead Dongchang to defend the palace and investigate the drowning case."
"Liu Xi, you take charge of the Royal Forest Army and mobilize the troops around the capital to be ready to go to the capital to protect you at any time."
"Yuhuatian, you lead the West Factory and control the Jinyiwei to ensure the stability of the capital and put an end to rumors!"
After giving the order, the four of them did not dare to neglect and left immediately.
In an instant, there were not many people left in the palace.
She held the emperor's hand tightly and turned around to give instructions.
"Queen, stabilize the harem, stabilize the nobles, and let everything go as usual."
