When the guard saw Gu Chengyu coming out, he was about to explain a few words, but he thought that Gu Chengyu was more anxious than him.
While climbing onto the carriage, Gu Chengyu shouted: "Hurry, hurry up"
The guard was still a little dazed, and it took him a moment to come to his senses. Knowing that this was not the time to talk much, he picked up the carriage and ran forward.
Gu Chengyu sat in the carriage and pondered. Something urgent must have happened, otherwise the emperor would not have summoned him to pick him up in the carriage.
All he could think was that the emperor was poisoned, and there must be something wrong with Taoist Priest Tianji. The imperial doctors could not diagnose the true condition of the emperor's body at all, which showed that this poison was rare in the world.
Gu Chengyu sighed deeply. If something unexpected happened to the emperor, as an emperor and a minister, his official career would not be as smooth as before.
Although the detoxifying pills in the space claim to be able to cure hundreds of poisons, they are all ordinary poisons. Such poisons are so rare that detoxifying pills are simply not feasible.
When it comes to spiritual springs, they are even less effective. Low-level spiritual springs are only used to strengthen the body after long-term use.
The guards drove the carriage very quickly, and it only took half a quarter of an hour to arrive in front of Chengqian Palace.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Mr. Gu is here." The guards outside the palace immediately came in to report.
The emperor became excited when he heard this, "Uh"
His chest was heaving violently, but it was a pity that he could not move his hands or speak. When the prince saw the emperor's appearance at this time, he couldn't help but feel sad.
His mind flashed back to the emperor pointing out the situation in the court, calm and composed, and he couldn't bear to look at the emperor's pitiful appearance at this time.
"Let him in quickly."
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered Chengqian Palace, he saw many imperial doctors and private doctors gathered in a corner of the room. Even the prince was there, guarding the dragon bed.
He couldn't help but feel his heart sink, after all, it happened.
The etiquette of "Come here to see me" cannot be broken, and even if the sky falls, it cannot be broken and cause people to scratch their feet. Anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in being anxious now.
It's just that he is very strange. At such a critical moment, it is better for the emperor to seize the time to say his last words. Why would he be called over?
"There is no need to be more polite. Father, I have something to say to you. Come here." The prince interrupted Gu Chengyu's salute and quickly gave up his seat.
After the prince left, Gu Chengyu looked towards the dragon bed. He was startled by this sight.
Looking at the crooked look on the emperor's face, he must have had a stroke. Then he looked at the emperor's hands outside the quilt, which were unnaturally curved and very stiff.
Could this be the final manifestation of this poison?
When the emperor saw Gu Chengyu coming, his eyes showed helplessness, unwillingness, pain and other emotions. Gu Chengyu took two steps quickly and knelt down in front of the dragon couch.
"Your Majesty" He grabbed the Emperor's hand and took the Emperor's pulse. The result was just as he expected, the medicine and stone were ignored and he was unable to save the day.
The emperor had been taking poison for too long. He believed that the emperor had already started taking poison since Taoist priest Tianji came to the palace.
Gu Chengyu's eyes were a little sour. The emperor had actually treated him well in the past two years. It was the emperor's nature to be suspicious, and it was rare to have such trust in him.
No matter what the emperor's original purpose was, Gu Chengyu still thanked the emperor for his kindness.
"Your Majesty"
With his current appearance, I don't know if the emperor can speak.
"Come out, uh, come out, too," the emperor said with difficulty, because he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and the corners of his mouth had begun to salivate.
Everyone in the palace was stunned. Does this mean to let the imperial doctors go out, or does it mean to let the prince go out?
Gu Chengyu glanced at the prince. He was very sure that the emperor was talking about the prince, because at this moment the emperor's eyes were tilted towards the prince.
The prince's feet moved slightly, and his face became even darker. Gu Chengyu could see that the prince did not want to leave Chengqian Palace at all.
In fact, he could understand that the emperor only had this last little time left, and there must be many things to explain. The prince was the heir to the country, and before the emperor died, he had to perform filial piety before his bed.
Besides, the emperor wanted to hide something from the prince. How could the prince feel so good before his death? It was unreasonable that he did not fully trust the prince before his death.
"You go to the side hall to discuss." The prince pointed at the imperial physician and doctors, with anger hidden in his tone.
"Get out, all, uh, get out." The emperor was a little anxious when he saw this, looking at Gu Chengyu with longing in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to let them all go out?" Gu Chengyu approached the Emperor and asked softly.
The emperor's throat suddenly felt like a bellows, "Uh, all."
Everyone present understood what the emperor meant, and then they didn't dare to delay and filed out.
No matter how reluctant the prince was, he could only follow everyone out of the hall. He walked a few steps and looked back at Gu Chengyu, his eyes flashing slightly.
Only after a moment did he strode out.
At this moment, De'an had already hurried to the imperial garden. Passing by a chamberlain who was cleaning, he stopped at his feet.
She glanced around and saw no one was there, so she said softly: "Your Majesty is dying, please send the news to the master as soon as possible."
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a concubine leading two palace maids in front of him, walking towards the imperial garden.
"You are blind, how dare you dirty our shoes?" De'an kicked the little waiter. The little waiter was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and shouted for mercy.
"Huh, why don't you get out of here?" De'an said, ignoring the waiter, and walked to the other side.
Concubine Yun saw a hint of joy on her face when she saw De'an appearing in the imperial garden.
De'an is the chief steward of the emperor. Now that she meets him, she has to fawn over him. She hasn't seen the emperor for a long time.
She raised a smile and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Chen. Why did this ignorant slave make Mr. Chen angry?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that De'an was walking towards Guangning Palace without looking back, without even looking at her.
Concubine Yun was so angry that her face was livid. She didn't expect that De'an would despise her so much.
By the time she came to her senses, the other party had already walked away, and she couldn't help but bitterly threw the plum branch she had picked out to put in the vase on the ground.
"A dog slave who looks down upon others, huh"
De'an went to Guangning Palace to report to the Empress that the Emperor was dying. As his first wife, the Empress should be present.
Unexpectedly, he saw the empress's phoenix chariot rushing towards Chengqian Palace just halfway through. He took two quick steps and caught up with the phoenix chariot.
Except for Gu Chengyu, everyone in Chengqian Palace has already left the palace.
"Your Majesty, you have something to tell your minister."
It was naturally impossible for the emperor to respond, but he looked at the Bogu rack on the other side.
"But there is something on the bookshelf that I need to take out." Gu Chengyu sighed. It looked really pitiful to end up like this.
"An, uh, Ge" the emperor was so anxious after hearing this, that he even spoke more clearly than before.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "But there is a hidden grid, I don't know where it is."
