The prince ran with great strides. I don't know whether his chest was suffocating from running or because he was suffocated by the news he heard. He gasped for air and almost fell down when he stepped on the last step.
"Your Highness," Fu Qing supported him and said with tears, "Be careful."
The prince shook him off and strode towards the front of the palace again.
There were already many eunuchs waiting in front of the palace. When they saw the prince coming, they rushed to help him.
"Father, how are you?" the prince asked tremblingly.
The leading eunuch said in a trembling voice: "I'm not awake yet, but my breath is fine."
It means that the emperor is still alive.
As he spoke, the prince walked into the hall without stopping. In the hall were the virtuous concubines Xu Fei and Princess Jin Yao. He had tears in his eyes and did not dare to cry loudly for fear of disturbing the imperial doctors' diagnosis and treatment.
The prince quickly walked into the inner room, and the doctors got out of the way. The prince looked at the emperor lying on the bed, knelt down and cried, "Father."
The emperor's eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and he was motionless. The slight rapid rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
"Your Highness," Judge Zhang said in a low voice, "We are trying to find a solution. His Majesty is still stable for the time being."
"Is this considered stable?" the prince asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
As he spoke, he looked at Eunuch Jinzhong.
The royal father has eunuch Jin Zhong who stays with him day and night, and nothing can be hidden from him.
Eunuch Jinzhong looked anxious and sad: "Your Majesty, I have been in poor health for a while, and my hair has become more and more frequent. Doctor Zhang specially prepared a prescription to control it. Unexpectedly, I still can't control it."
The prince shed tears: "Why didn't you tell me that my father still worked so hard? I didn't know."
Eunuch Jinzhong knelt down and blamed himself, "It's all the old slaves who are guilty."
Zhang Yuanjian said softly from the side: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's illness has been going on for many years. It was originally really controllable. As long as you get more rest and don't get angry, you have almost recovered in the past few days. Why is it suddenly so severe——
"
If any other imperial doctor said this, he would be scolded as shirk, but Zhang Yuanpian has been with the emperor for so many years, and Zhang Yuanpian’s eldest son who died that year also grew up in front of the emperor? Like the princes? The relationship between the emperor and his ministers is very close.
, so you heard what he said? The prince immediately looked at Eunuch Jinzhong: "What's going on? Did the father lose his temper again? Is it because the princes are working hard to get married?"
Eunuch Jinzhong's expression became strange? He hesitated: "Yeah, no."
The prince and the imperial doctors are talking here? The virtuous concubine Xu Concubine outside is listening with her ears pricked up. When she hears this, she no longer cares about avoiding taboos and hurried in.
"No? It's us and the Young Master who are busy. We told His Majesty to have a good rest." The two said in unison, testifying for themselves and for each other.
If His Majesty's illness was aggravated by the marriage arrangements of the three princes, then the three princes would have committed a heinous crime.
"Prince Yan and the others have not entered the palace recently," Concubine Xian said. "I told you not to let them bother Your Majesty."
"Although Xiu Rong is in the palace," Concubine Xu said hurriedly, "but she has been busy with strategies to recruit scholars."
When they said this, they announced outside the door, "The King of Qi is here."
The prince looked over and saw Chu Xiurong walking in quickly, "Father——"
The prince interrupted him: "Does everyone know about it?"
Although the emperor did not go to court, the courtiers still performed their duties, and there were also officials on duty in the front hall.
Is it a big deal that the emperor suddenly becomes ill? Apart from notifying the prince, the harem has temporarily blocked the news.
"I asked someone to tell him." Concubine Xu hurriedly said, covering her face and crying, "Your Majesty, is this? I'm really scared."
Chu Xiurong said to the prince: "I didn't alarm others."
They are all sons, even if he is the prince? Can't he not allow other princes to visit the emperor for no reason? The prince nodded and motioned for him to come closer and choked up: "Father, you don't know what's wrong?"
Chu Xiurong knelt beside the bed, holding back tears and holding the emperor's hand: "Father." He looked at Zhang Yuanfa again and was surprised, "Father's hand still has strength. I held him and he exerted his strength."
Zhang Yuanjian had no surprises and said softly: "It's okay so far, but we still need to wake up His Majesty as soon as possible. If it takes too long, I'm afraid -"
He didn't say anything else, and everyone present understood it in their hearts.
The cries of Concubine Xu were heard, and Princess Jin Yao shed tears silently.
"Prince." Chu Xiurong took a deep breath, "Call the ministers to come in."
The prince looked at him without saying a word.
"There are also King Yan and King Lu." Concubine Xian said without forgetting as she cried.
The prince took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "I know, I will go and make arrangements."
Chu Xiurong said again: "There is also the sixth brother."
Upon hearing this name, the prince paused and looked at Eunuch Jinzhong: "Sixth brother, have you been here?"
How could the Sixth Prince's entry into the palace be hidden from the Crown Prince? Although the Crown Prince never took the initiative to say anything, Eunuch Jinzhong sighed inwardly and could only nod: "Yes, I just came here."
An imperial doctor added: "When I was delivering medicine to your majesty, I saw that your majesty didn't look well. I wanted to check your majesty's pulse first, but your majesty refused. He just took the medicine in one gulp, and then he withdrew.
Not far away, I heard that His Majesty had fainted."
Everyone in the room looked at the imperial physician. Just now, the imperial physician had been silent without saying a word. Now he said so much in front of the prince, and even shirked his responsibility without any concealment——
But everyone can understand that he was on duty today, and His Majesty fainted after taking the medicine he sent. The imperial doctor was frightened to death. He did not dare to speak before, but when he saw the prince, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
The prince looked at him, then looked at Eunuch Jinzhong and asked, "Sixth brother, what is he doing here?"
Eunuch Jinzhong told the truth: "His Highness the Sixth Prince said that he would not get married yet, but would take Miss Danzhu back to Xijing first, and then get married when the two of them want to get married."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole room was in an uproar. Concubine Xu even shouted loudly, "How could this be possible?" "What's wrong with this child?" "He said he would get married, and now he says he won't get married!"
Others were vaguely unclear, but they knew very well that the reason why Chu Yurong was able to marry Chen Danzhu was all Chu Yurong's own fault. His Majesty was angry at that time, and now he said
If you don't get married, what do you think of His Majesty's imperial edict?
No wonder His Majesty is so angry!
The room was in a mess, Prince Chu Xiurong didn't say anything, and Princess Jin Yao also covered her mouth with tears and shock in her eyes - others didn't know it, but she actually knew very well that Chu Yurong could really do such a thing.
Chu Yurong really made His Majesty so angry!
No one dared to say yes, but there was no denying either. The doctors and eunuchs remained silent.
The prince sighed and looked at Eunuch Zhong: "Father, are you very angry?"
Eunuch Jinzhong lowered his head and said, "Yes."
A young eunuch added: "Your Majesty also threw the memorial."
Previously, only eunuch Jinzhong was standing by the emperor when the sixth prince was here. No one else knew what was said, but they heard the emperor's scolding. After the sixth prince left, the young eunuchs entered and saw a memorial lying on the ground. It was obvious that it was
Lost his temper.
Eunuch Jinzhong glanced at the little eunuch. Did he talk too much? But it is understandable that the emperor suddenly fell into a coma, and all the chamberlains present at the time had to be punished. Everyone was frightened.
Concubine Xian, who has always been good-tempered, could no longer bear it: "Call him in! Your Majesty did this, and he left as soon as possible!"
Eunuch Jinzhong didn't say anything. He actually had something to say. The emperor and the sixth prince were not angry because they had always gotten along like this. But he couldn't say it because there was no way to explain the fact that it had always been like this.
This is a secret that cannot be told.
Alas, Eunuch Jinzhong could only remain silent. This time the Sixth Prince was unlucky enough to get into trouble.
At this time, all the officials on duty were invited to come over.
Concubine Xu also said softly to the prince: "It's better to call His Highness the Sixth Prince over quickly so that we can give an explanation to everyone."
The emperor can't fall ill so mysteriously! Apart from the weddings of the princes, there have been no other major events recently!
The eyes in the room were focused on the prince. The emperor lay down. The prince was the one who could make the decision now.
After hearing these words, the prince lost his anger and shook his head and sighed: "My father is already like this, what can I do if I call him here? He is not in good health. If something happens again, how can I explain to my father?"
He raised his hand.
"Please invite the ministers to come in for discussion first. My father's condition is the most important thing."
His Royal Highness is really a soft-hearted eldest brother. People in the room lowered their heads and sighed.
A trace of ridicule flashed in Chu Xiurong's eyes. Having said this, what would change if he didn't call the Sixth Prince in?
If you are called in, you will have to argue. If you are not called in, you will be directly condemned when the ministers come.
Concubine Xu glared at him from the side, obviously knowing this, and lest he talk too much, everyone would be safe if the sixth prince took responsibility - the emperor fell into a coma, and half of the sky in Daxia belonged to the prince.
Having held the prince for half a day, he now has the power of life and death.
Chu Xiurong nodded to Concubine Xu. She didn't need to remind her, this was his arrangement.
The door of the main hall opened, and there were chaotic footsteps outside. Officials who heard the news came pouring in, like dark clouds on the horizon, and there was a faint sound of rolling thunder in the distance.
A heavy rain is inevitable.
.....
.....
When the dense raindrops fell, Wang Xian was splashed all over while standing by the window. He took a step back and looked indoors. Chu Yurong was sitting drinking tea. Although he said he was drinking tea, he was actually distracted.
"Something happened just after you left Your Majesty." Wang Xian said, "What a coincidence."
Chu Yurong nodded: "I just saw His Majesty and he showed no signs of getting sick, so -"
There must be something wrong with this.
Despite this, Chu Yurong left decisively when he heard the hurried news coming from the palace.
Maybe there was a big net in the palace waiting for him to pounce in.
He couldn't go in hastily. First, he would reveal that he had an informant in the palace, and second, he would be worried that he would not be able to get out after going in.
Wang Xian was silent for a moment and said: "No matter who it is, I hope they won't be so heartbroken."
Murder the emperor.
"The news is that he is in a coma, and my father's life is not in danger for the time being." Chu Yurong said in a low voice.
Wang Xian whispered: "No matter which one of them wants to deal with whom, this move is also against you. It is to test your depth. Don't we do something?"
Chu Yurong said calmly: "Don't pay attention to them, I don't care." He stood up and walked to the door, looking at the imperial city through layers of rain and fog.
The people trapped in that world are hateful and pitiful.
