The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty has worked too hard and hurt his heart. I'm afraid... it's not good."
Empress Sun was startled. She frowned and lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty is in good health, but you are just tired. Do you understand?"
The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "Yes."
Queen Sun Shen said: "Go to decoction."
After she asked the imperial doctor to leave, she sat on the bed and held Xiao Chongjun's hand.
Not long after, Xiao Chongjun woke up. He looked at Queen Sun with somewhat turbid eyes and said, "Queen, please talk to me."
After half an hour, Queen Sun retreated.
In the outer room, many palace concubines gathered around, all coming to visit His Majesty's dragon body.
Seeing Queen Sun come out, everyone gathered around to ask about Your Majesty's situation.
Empress Sun said: "Your Majesty has taken the medicine and has gone to sleep. The imperial doctor said that your Majesty is just overworked and there is nothing serious. You all should go back."
After hearing this, all the concubines no longer stayed any longer and bowed before retreating. Only Concubine Qi remained.
Concubine Qi stepped forward, held Empress Sun's arm and said, "I have been working hard to take care of Your Majesty recently. I will send you back to rest."
Empress Sun nodded and said, "You are determined."
The two of them walked out of the door and headed towards Weiyang Palace.
While walking on the road, Concubine Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I never expected that the assassination of His Royal Highness was actually related to the Prince Regent.
Your Majesty and your concubine love him so much, but he repays kindness with hatred. He is indeed not of my race, and his heart must be different."
Her voice was filled with hatred, obviously complaining about Empress Sun's injustice.
Empress Sun could not imagine that she was shocked for a long time after hearing the news. She had doubts before, but because of Granny Sheng's words, she dispelled her doubts.
However, the regent just returned to Beijing today, and his majesty locked him up. I guess it was indeed true.
Thinking of her son, Empress Sun was heartbroken and beat her chest and said, "Have mercy on my Jue'er."
"My dear, don't be like this, His Highness the Crown Prince is just missing. As long as his body is not found for one day, there is a glimmer of hope, right?
Don't be too pessimistic, His Royal Highness is blessed with great fortune and everything will be fine."
Qi Bin kindly advised her.
Empress Sun took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "It's been so long, my Jue'er must be in danger, and you don't need to comfort me anymore.
To tell you the truth, His Majesty is not in good health. If there is no accident, the position of Crown Prince should belong to His Highness King Qi.
Speaking of which, King Qi is also a blessed man. He was seriously ill and was cured by a miracle doctor, and now he is in good health.
He is your Majesty's cousin and the late emperor's orphan, so it is justifiable for him to be given the throne."
Empress Sun patted Concubine Qi's hand and said: "Once King Qi ascends the throne, we concubines can only clean up in the temple. I will find an opportunity to ask for grace for you and the second prince, and ask your majesty to let you and the second prince go."
A fiefdom to support one's whole life."
Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, then held Empress Sun's hand and said, "I don't want to leave your empress."
Empress Sun gave her an angry look and said, "What are you talking about?" She added, "You are the person next to me. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange a way out for you and the second prince."
Seeing this, Concubine Qi no longer refused, and just said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will never forget your kindness."
