Doctor Chen raised his head slightly and said in a low voice: "To the Queen Mother, the Emperor has been suffering from this heart disease for a long time. Now, I am afraid that it has... reached the end of his life, and the chance that the Emperor can wake up is extremely small."
Is the chance of waking up extremely small? Empress Dowager Gao looked at Mu Yangtian on the couch. He had his eyes closed peacefully, indescribably calm. Her eyes were austere, her dry hand was holding the stick in her hand tightly, and her eyes were muddy.
Eyes slowly closed.
"That's nonsense. How could the emperor not wake up?" Gao Yueli glared at Imperial Physician Chen and shouted.
Dr. Chen lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have already tried my best."
"Try your best? Is this your best?" Gao Yueli raised his voice, took a step forward, and glared at Doctor Chen angrily.
"That's enough!" Empress Dowager Gao shouted sharply. She opened her eyes and frowned, looking at Gao Yueli's angry face. A trace of boredom flashed across her withered face. She looked at Doctor Chen and said
: "The Ai family knows, you can go down first."
Gao Yueli was stunned, flicking her sleeves, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, she clenched her hands, she endured it.
"Yes!" All the imperial doctors resigned and left the inner hall one after another as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
Seeing the imperial doctors leaving, Gao Yueli no longer had any scruples. She looked at Empress Dowager Gao and said aggrievedly: "Aunt, I am really worried about the emperor. What will happen if the emperor doesn't wake up?"
Glancing at Gao Yueli, Empress Dowager Gao said indifferently: "Are you really worried about the emperor? Do you think the Ai family doesn't know?"
Being swept away by that keen gaze, Gao Yueli felt a little scared. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She turned her head and looked away, and whispered: "The emperor may not wake up now. We have to think of something."
That’s the countermeasure.”
Countermeasures? Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Yueli and said lightly: "What countermeasures do you have?"
Hearing that Queen Mother Gao's voice was quite calm, Gao Yueli felt happy. She quickly turned her head and said with a smile: "Of course we have to call Yuan'er back. Now it's unknown whether the emperor will wake up or not. We have to make plans.
That's right, Yuan'er also has the blood of our Gao family. So, Queen Mother, you must help him." After saying that, she stepped forward and grabbed Queen Mother Gao's hand and said emotionally.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Yueli, she directly pulled her hand away, leaning on the stick, slowly walked towards the couch, looking at Mu Yangtian who was sleeping on the couch, she sat on the couch,
She took his hand and sighed, "Have you ever thought that there would be a day like this? No matter how hard-hearted the Aijia is, no matter how hard you let the Aijia down, you are still the son of the Aijia. If you leave like this
, what should you do if you want to destroy the Aijia?"
Gao Yueli retracted her hand sarcastically, walked to the couch, glanced at Mu Yangtian, thought for a moment, and then said angrily to Empress Dowager Gao: "Mother, the emperor is like this not because of that woman. He has been doing this all the time for that woman."
You don't even care about your own body. What you are doing now is all due to the illness you suffered back then. You must take care of your body." After saying this, her voice was full of concern.
"Of course the Ai family knows." Empress Dowager Gao took a deep breath and spoke lightly. She looked away, looked at the door of the hall, and shouted in a low voice, "Here comes someone."
After saying this, Xiao Chenzi ran in and knelt on the ground.
"The Fourth Prince sent Princess Zhaoyang to her, where is she now? How long will it take to recall her?" Empress Dowager Gao looked at Xiao Chenzi and asked directly.
Xiao Chenzi raised his eyes and glanced at the dragon couch and Gao Yueli beside him, and then said respectfully: "Going back to the Queen Mother, if we call the fourth prince back now, it will take about four days."
Four days? Empress Dowager Gao nodded and remained silent.
On the other hand, Gao Yueli's face showed a happy expression. She glanced at Queen Mother Gao. With her sitting here, the throne must belong to Yuan'er. Now she only needs to recall Yuan'er.
"Why don't you hurry up and send the order to recall the Fourth Prince!" Gao Yueli dropped the smile on her face and said to Xiao Chenzi.
Xiao Chenzi did not answer. He raised his eyes and glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, as if waiting for her words.
Seeing that Xiao Chenzi did not accept the order, Gao Yueli suddenly became unhappy and was about to attack. Empress Dowager Gao suddenly spoke, "Go and call back the Fourth Prince."
"Yes!" Xiao Chenzi accepted the order. He glanced at Mu Yangtian on the couch and frowned. The fourth prince is back, but where is the sixth prince? The emperor probably wants to see him the most right now. I don't know.
Where did he go? But as a slave, he had to listen to the Queen Mother's words. He really hoped that the Sixth Prince would come back soon so that he could live up to the Emperor's expectations. He sighed in his heart and turned around to go out.
When he was about to leave the palace, Xiao Chenzi suddenly walked forward, bent down and saluted, and said: "I pay my respects to the Second Prince."
At this time, a man in a black brocade robe walked in. There was no emotion or anger on his resolute face, only a pair of sharp eyes with a dark light, as if he had some intention. He glanced at Xiao Chen.
He nodded slightly and continued to walk forward until he reached the couch, knelt down and saluted, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother Gao looked at the kneeling man below, the expression in her eyes changed again and again, and whispered: "You are here."
Mu Kexiang raised his head, looked directly at Empress Dowager Gao, and said indifferently: "I am here to see my father." His tone was full of alienation. Even after many years, he would never call her "grandmother".
Like Mu Jingnan.
"Get up." Empress Dowager Gao turned back to look at Mu Yangtian on the couch, with a hint of exhaustion on her withered face.
Mu Kexiang stood up, took a step forward, and asked, "Father, how is he?"
Gao Yueli's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule. She looked at Mu Kexiang and sneered: "Are you concerned about the emperor now? It's really hard to see the second prince in the house on weekdays. Why do you do it when the emperor is sick?"
Come here to show your courtesy? It’s a pity that your father can’t hear anything now.”
A hint of gloom flashed across Mu Kexiang's resolute face. He looked at Gao Yueli coldly, with contempt in his eyes, "How can you be the Queen?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be like you..." Gao Yueli's expression paused and he immediately defended himself.
Mu Kexiang interrupted her and said indifferently: "The queen knows clearly whether it is yes or no. Otherwise, why are you so anxious to recall the fourth prince?"
"You..." Gao Yueli glared at Mu Kexiang angrily, feeling furious in her heart. Mu Jingnan had contradicted her like that before, but now, does Mu Kexiang dare to talk to her like this?
Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said coldly: "What are you arguing about? The emperor is seriously ill now, and the Ai family doesn't want to see a fight between you." After saying that, she glanced at Mu Kexiang and said, "Your father, he is
He's tired, and he can't hear the quarrel between you. You came just in time, do you know where your sixth brother is now?"
His eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of imperceptible depression flashed across Mu Kexiang's face. He replied, "I only know that my sixth brother is not in the palace."
"Hmph, he has always been used to being idle. When did he put the Emperor and us in his eyes? I'm afraid he knew that the Emperor was seriously ill and didn't come on purpose." Gao Yueli said sarcastically.
Empress Dowager Gao's frown deepened, and her face became colder, "In that case, don't pay attention to him. You all can go down as well. The Ai family wants to stay here with the emperor and talk to him."
Seeing the displeased expression of Empress Dowager Gao, Gao Yueli's eyes flashed with a hint of success. It was very good to be like this now. She was blessed. "Concubine, please leave." After saying that, she turned around and glared at Muke.
Xiang, went out directly.
Mu Kexiang looked at Empress Dowager Gao, as if she had no intention of leaving. After a while, he suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager has already made some considerations in her mind? But aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner of the East Yue Kingdom?"
"What? Do you want to teach the Ai family how to behave?" Empress Dowager Gao turned her head and looked at Mu Kexiang coldly.
Mu Kexiang shook his head slightly, "How dare I, I just hope that the Queen Mother can think clearly and put the overall situation first." After saying that, he bowed and said, "I will leave first." With that, he turned and faced outside the palace.
Go.
Looking at the departing figure, the ravine on Empress Dowager Gao's forehead became deeper and deeper. He was really becoming more and more extraordinary. He was no longer the concubine hiding in the cold palace. She turned her head and looked at Mu Yangtian and said with a wry smile.
: "We, mother and son, have been at odds all our lives. However, the Ai family never thought that one day the white-haired person would give away the black-haired person. As the saying goes, it is the fault of your father that you cannot raise him. As a member of the royal family, you are destined to not receive father's love.
The mother of the Ai family is also incompetent. She has fought for palaces and promotions for most of her life. The Ai family has been fighting for glory for most of her life, but she has also neglected you. Because of Dugu Jinyu's incident, you have been unable to let go of your grudge in your heart these years? The Ai family knows
, you hate the Aijia, but the Aijia has the same difficulties as the Aijia. The son, the family, and the Aijia have to take care of both sides. However, if you really have to choose, the Aijia will naturally be on your side. Why are you
Can't you understand the painstaking efforts of the Ai family?" As she said this, she couldn't help but shed tears. Even though she had conquered the world, she still lost in the end. Her son hated him. This was the cruelest thing in the world.
matter.
Empress Dowager Gao grabbed Mu Yangtian's hand and let the tears fill the ravines on her face. Her face was full of love, "We, mother and son, have been fighting and complaining for a lifetime. It's time for it to end. You, just be good."
Take a rest, you should take a good rest."
Not long after, Aunt Yulian walked in. She looked at Queen Mother Gao on the couch and said, "Queen Mother, please take care of yourself." After saying that, she walked to the couch and served her carefully.
Empress Dowager Gao wiped her tears, shook her head and said: "With the current situation in Dongyue Kingdom, the Ai family cannot fall down." After saying that, she stood up, walked down with a cane, her expression dimmed.
It's majestic, "Let the ministers go to the imperial study room to see the Ai family immediately."
After hearing this, Aunt Yulian was stunned. Are you planning to establish a heir apparent? She looked down and said respectfully, "Yes." After saying that, she stepped forward to support Empress Dowager Gao and walked out.
