When Shen Xing arrived late, Fu Jingchao had already been carried back to the palace where he lived. The whole palace was brightly lit, and the eunuchs and maids were busy coming in and out.
Shen Xingwan paused, wiped his eyes with the handkerchief, and then walked inside.
As soon as he entered, he knelt down and saluted with a cry in his voice.
The emperor's face was as dark as water and he didn't even look at her.
The Queen Mother said to her with a sad face, "Get up, come and sit down and pray for Chao'er together."
The Queen Mother kept fidgeting with the beads in her hand, closed her eyes and began to recite the Buddha's name and pray.
Shen Xingwan sat down silently and glanced into the inner room.
Most of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital were here, and they surrounded Fu Jingchao, unable to see his condition at all.
The room was eerily quiet, with no sound at all.
All you can hear is the voice of the imperial doctor, "Administering acupuncture and pouring medicine."
He also ordered people to make ginseng soup, but the emperor was very generous. No matter how precious the medicinal materials were, he would give them to the imperial doctor whenever he asked.
The rescue operation has been carried out nervously.
After the aftermath, the queen came late and broke the silence. After the queen saluted, she said to the emperor, "I saw that the imperial concubine's sister was so frightened at the banquet that her face turned pale. Your Majesty should send an imperial doctor to my sister."
Look good.”
The queen had always been generous and virtuous in everything she did. The emperor didn't think much about it and followed her words, "Then let's send someone over to take a look."
"Mr. Jiang, go see the imperial concubine." The queen said to the inside.
Dr. Jiang took the order and left.
About half an hour later, Dr. Jiang came back with the medicine box.
"How is your concubine?" the queen asked.
Doctor Jiang said cautiously, "Congratulations, your majesty, congratulations to the empress. Your concubine is pregnant. She is already two months old."
This would normally be considered a great joy, but in this situation, Doctor Jiang lowered his voice with a look.
After all, the emperor was happy and asked quickly, "Is your concubine in good health?"
"The queen and the child are both healthy," the imperial doctor said.
In fact, because the month was young, something happened suddenly. The imperial concubine was shocked and had a fetal force.
But how could he dare to say that? Wouldn't this be a blow to the Queen Mother's knife? After all, her life or death was uncertain.
Fortunately, he had already prescribed anti-fetal medicine for the imperial concubine, so there was no big problem.
As soon as Imperial Physician Jiang left here, the envoy from the Imperial Hospital came out with a tired look on his face after wiping his sweat.
The Queen Mother asked nervously, "How is Chao'er doing?"
The hospital envoy said, "The condition has stabilized temporarily, but..."
"Just what?" The Queen Mother said in a deep voice, "If the envoy of the hospital has something to say, he will speak it directly, so that the Ai family can live with it."
"Your Majesty has always been in poor health. He had a high fever last night, vomited blood tonight, and all his internal organs were injured..."
After saying that, he knelt down, and the doctor behind him knelt down on the ground.
The envoy gritted his teeth and said bravely, "If you can't wake up within three days, prepare for the funeral..."
The Queen Mother lost all her strength in an instant and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Shen Xingwan and the eldest palace maid quickly supported him.
The Queen Mother almost gritted her teeth and asked, "What if I can wake up?"
"The prince's foundation has been damaged. If he can wake up, he will live for another year and a half at most." The emissary's voice began to shake, fearing that the queen mother would be angry and ask them to be buried with him.
The emperor personally patted the Queen Mother on the back to comfort her, and said comfortingly, "The spirit of Lin'an in heaven will protect Jing Chao when she wakes up."
Princess Lin'an, the Queen Mother's only biological daughter, the eldest princess of Daqi, and the biological mother of Fu Jingchao.
The Queen Mother felt even more uncomfortable when she mentioned Princess Lin'an, "This is Lin'an's only flesh and blood, and I can't even keep it. In the future, I won't be able to see her under Jiuquan."
The Queen gave some thoughtful advice, and the Queen Mother finally managed to cheer up.
He glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's already getting late. You all should go back and rest."
"Queen mother, please go back and rest. I will ask the imperial doctor to stay here in Jingchao. You must pay attention to your health. You can't fall ill before Jingchao wakes up."
Shen Xingwan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked out, knelt down with a bang, and said with tears streaming down his face, "My maid wants to stay and watch over you."
This was inconsistent with etiquette. After all, they were not married.
The emperor glanced at him and said nothing.
The queen showed an unbearable look on her face and whispered to the emperor, "This child is rare, your majesty, please allow it."
The Queen Mother sighed at the side, "You are determined. It is Jing Chao's blessing."
When the words came to this point, the emperor relented and said, "If you want, you can stay and take good care of him, but you have to think about it."
Shen Xingwan naturally knew that by staying, no matter whether Fu Jingchao lived or died, she would be tied to him for the rest of her life.
Even if Fu Jingchao really died and had a relationship, no one would let her in.
After all, who would want to marry someone who has someone else in their heart and who has experienced life and death with them?
But that person is still the Prince of Zhennan.
Shen Xingwan wanted to say firmly, "I've thought about it."
The emperor gave her a high look and said, "Jing Chao's vision is quite good this time."
The emperor and empress accompanied the queen mother on her left and right.
Shen Xingwan stayed and lived in the side hall.
The room was separated from Fu Jingchao's room by a wall. Shen Xingwan's reason was that he was so easy to take care of.
The ladies in the palace all looked at her with a bit of respect. They were used to seeing intrigues in the palace, and someone as stupid as Shen Xingwan, who had her own reputation and future, was indeed very precious.
With such a big thing happening in the palace, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Officials and nobles outside are all watching.
So before dawn, the news spread that Fu Jingchao was about to die soon.
By the way, word about Shen Xingwan was also spread.
Men and officials are analyzing the changes behind this and analyzing the latest situation.
Ladies and gentlemen, they won’t think about it so deeply. Most of them feel it is a pity.
The girls were all moved by the relationship between Shen Xingwan and Fu Jingchao.
For a time, Fu Jingchao and Shen Xingwan became the true love that everyone regretted.
The fourth prince stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at Fu Jing heading towards the palace, listening to Eunuch Gao's report.
Eunuch Gao looked at him with a cold face and said nothing, his head lowered lower and lower.
After a while, the fourth prince asked: "Did she stay?"
They knew exactly who she was referring to.
Eunuch Gao was heartbroken and told the story of the conversation between Shen Xingwan and the emperor.
The three people above did not order it to be sealed, so these words are not a secret, and it is normal for them to be leaked secretly.
The fourth prince sighed softly, "It's quite affectionate."
Whether it was for her senior sister or Fu Jingchao, they all did the best.
Eunuch Gao did not dare to think too much about the meaning of his words, and said bravely, "In this way, no matter whether Fu Jingchao lives or dies, she can only be the imperial concubine in this life."
The fourth prince gave him a cold look, "You talk a lot tonight."
Eunuch Gao shut up instantly. Wasn't he afraid that the fourth prince would think something he shouldn't?
As a prince, if you take the wrong path, you will end up very miserable.
If you meet some people at the wrong time, they are destined to be strangers.
