The prince was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly, but he didn't think it was strange.
"Father," he stammered, "it was my sixth brother who made you angry. I already know that, and I will punish him -"
The emperor was so angry, or he was frightened because of the rapid and critical illness, that's why he shouted to Chu Yurong to kill him, but the emperor can shout like this, but as the prince, he cannot respond like this, otherwise the emperor will
It's time to pity my sixth brother again.
The emperor opened his mouth again, but no sound came out. He could only hold the prince's hand tightly. The prince felt that his wrist was about to be pinched blue by the emperor. This——
Because he could not speak, the emperor looked even more anxious. He looked at Eunuch Jinzhong and pointed his finger at him.
The veins in that hand were swollen like dry branches. The stagnant eunuch Jin Zhong seemed to be frightened. He took a step back and shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty——"
There was shock in the voice, and a hint of pleading.
The emperor looked at him angrily.
"Your Majesty, you, you will be fine." Eunuch Jinzhong knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Don't worry-"
The emperor's whole body trembled, as if he was about to faint in the next moment.
The prince finally realized that something was wrong and looked at Eunuch Jin Zhong suspiciously: "If my father has any orders, please do it first." He looked outside again, his footsteps were cluttered. It was Doctor Hu from the Courtyard and the eunuchs were coming in after hearing the news.
Eunuch Jinzhong turned around and shouted, "Don't come in yet! Everyone, get out!"
The chaotic sounds suddenly disappeared, and everything was quiet inside and outside. Only the emperor's rapid breathing was accompanied by a hoarse noise in his throat.
Eunuch Jinzhong lowered his head to the prince: "Your Highness, Chu Yurong is the Iron-faced General."
The prince felt a buzzing sound and could not hear anything in his ears.
His mind went blank, and he could only think of two sentences: Who is Chu Yurong? Who is the Iron-faced General?
His face also slowly turned pale.
Then who is he?
...
...
Sure enough, Concubine Xu did not return to her palace and was always guarding outside the emperor's palace? Of course Chu Xiurong accompanied her mother? Princess Jin Yao also stayed, along with the courtiers who were on duty.
What was going on in the emperor's palace? Were they aware of it immediately? They saw the eunuchs standing outside suddenly hurried in, and Doctor Zhang Hu, who was arguing about the prescription outside the door, also went inside.
"Your Majesty is awake?!" Princess Jin Yao shouted? She jumped up and ran towards this side while holding up her skirt.
Others followed closely, but as soon as they reached the door, they saw the eunuchs pouring in and even Doctor Hu, the judge of Zhangyuan, rushing out. The voice of the eunuch Jinzhong could still be heard in his ears: "—Get out of here!"
Everyone stopped and looked surprised and confused.
What happened?
Is the emperor awake?
Why does Eunuch Jinzhong not allow anyone to enter?
Concubine Xu couldn't help but glance at Chu Xiurong, and a trace of confusion flashed in Chu Xiurong's eyes. Everything was as expected? Even the emperor woke up at about the same time? Only Eunuch Jinzhong's reaction was wrong.
Does the emperor have anything to explain? Although he woke up, he was not completely healed and could not even speak complete words. What can he explain?
After a moment of confusion, the courtiers who followed were anxious? How could His Majesty be controlled by a eunuch? Even if the prince was inside, even though the prince was now the crown prince? But as long as the emperor was still there, they would first be the emperor's ministers.
"How is your majesty?" the leader of the old minister shouted? "How can you not let the imperial doctors check! I'm about to go in."
Fortunately, Eunuch Jinzhong did not stop him, and the prince's voice came out, "Mr. Zhang, Dr. Hu? Mr. Liao? Can you guys come in first? The others will wait outside. Your Majesty has just woken up, so don't crowd in."
The emperor was really awake, and everyone felt at ease for the time being. Dr. Hu, the imperial physician, and several ministers went in and saw Eunuch Jinzhong and the prince kneeling beside the bed, and the prince was holding hands with the emperor.
Under the dim light, the emperor's face was dim, but his eyes were open, and he only looked at the prince.
The prince also looked at the emperor, his voice was hoarse and soft: "Father, I understand, don't worry, let's let the doctor take a look first. You will get well soon, and everything will be fine."
These words appeased the emperor, and the prince finally took out his hand and stood aside, allowing Judge Zhang and Doctor Hu to come forward to check. Several ministers also stood beside the bed and called to His Majesty softly.
But the emperor seemed extremely tired, and made no more noise, and slowly closed his eyes.
.....
.....
Night enveloped the Imperial City. The Imperial City was so big that no matter how many lights there were, there were places that could not be illuminated. A figure was walking quickly in the night. The next moment, the gentle night wind became sharp and pounced on him. That person
With a muffled groan, he fell to the ground.
The torch also lit up, illuminating many figures and people on the ground. This was a eunuch. A guard holding a torch reached out and turned the eunuch over, revealing an inconspicuous face.
But the prince was no stranger. He took a few steps away from the guards and looked coldly at this eunuch who was very important to his father.
A eunuch of this level cannot even be commanded by a prince like him.
Eunuch Jinzhong whispered behind him: "Your Majesty is aware of the close contacts between His Highness the Sixth Prince and the eunuchs around him."
Well, yes, both His Highness and the Emperor know it, but he is the only one who doesn't.
The prince said nothing.
"This person is dead, and the news here will not be leaked for the time being." Eunuch Jinzhong continued, "Your Highness, please take action as soon as possible."
How could he take action? What ability could he have to take action? That was an iron-faced general. The prince sneered in his heart and looked at him without saying a word.
Eunuch Jinzhong lowered his eyes in the night: "Don't mobilize the guards. There are many people from His Highness in the guards. Let the secret guards around His Majesty go."
Well, both His Highness the Sixth Prince and the Emperor had their own men, but he was the only one who didn't have one. The Crown Prince still didn't say anything.
Eunuch Jinzhong raised his hand and waved at the guards beside him. The torch was extinguished instantly, and a strong wind swept out of the palace and rushed towards the direction of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

.....
The swords clashed with each other and made a harsh sound. Firelight splashed in the darkness, and blood splashed on her face. Chen Danzhu screamed and sat up, feeling dizzy. She pressed her heart and felt the rapid beating.
"Miss?" A Tian's voice came from outside, and the room lit up.
Chen Danzhu looked over and her eyes fell on the lamp in A Tian's hand. It was the moon lamp given by Chu Yurong. The corners of her mouth curved.
"It's okay," she said, "I had a nightmare."
She hadn't had nightmares for a while, and she was still a little uncomfortable for a while. Maybe it was because her heart had been high since the emperor fell ill.
Ah Tian was about to pour tea with a sigh of relief when the door rang softly and someone rushed in carrying the night wind, causing the moon lantern to jump.
"Zhulin." Ah Tian shouted, pressing her heart, "You scared me to death."
Zhu Lin stood outside the bedroom, holding a piece of paper in his hand: "Miss, this is from the sixth prince."
Chu Yurong and Chen Danzhu got off the bed and walked quickly with bare feet and reached out to take it. A Tian hurriedly held up the lamp to follow. The lamp shone on the paper, and there were dazzling words on the paper.
Something happens, but don't be afraid.
Chen Danzhu held this piece of paper, his heart dropped as he held it. Sure enough, something happened.
She turned on the moonlight and covered the paper with the candle. Smoke instantly rose from the letter and the candle was swallowed up, plunging the room into darkness.
