Chapter 579 Emperor Yongan is seriously ill
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
In the middle of the night, in the deep palace garden, I was awakened by the shout of the imperial concubine. The palace maid and eunuch quickly lit the lamp and came in. I saw Emperor Yong'an coughing violently on the dragon bed. The bright yellow bed quilt was covered with blood stains, which looked particularly dazzling. .
The imperial concubine turned pale with fright, and kept trying to help Emperor Yong'an calm down.
But Emperor Yong'an didn't get any relief at all. Blood gushed out in large mouthfuls, and then he couldn't breathe and passed out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The imperial concubine called her several times, but Emperor Yong'an didn't respond at all. She was completely panicked and ordered the maid in a trembling voice, "Hurry and invite Miss Shen."
Shen Ruzhou heard the news in his sleep and quickly packed the medicine box and entered the palace.
We entered the Taihe Palace unobstructed and saw brightly lit lights inside the palace.
Xiao Chenyan and Lu Huaining both got the news and were already waiting aside. Shen Ruzhou was pulled to the bed by the imperial concubine before she could greet him. Emperor Yong'an's eyes were closed tightly, his breath was weak, and he looked like he was already in the next world.
Shen Ruzhou was frightened. Based on her experience, Emperor Yong'an was afraid that his end was coming.
But she knew the taboos of the royal family, so even if the imperial doctor didn't say anything, she wouldn't talk too much. She just applied acupuncture and medicine seriously, planning to discuss it with Beixiu Yan when she got back.
About half an hour later, Emperor Yong'an woke up leisurely. His eyes were thick yellow and turbid, and his face was like a withered tree, full of the vicissitudes of time.
Everyone immediately gathered around and greeted him with concern. Shen Ruzhou quietly stepped aside.
Emperor Yong'an's eyes circled around, and finally stopped on Lu Huaining, and raised his hand tremblingly. When Lu Huaining saw this, he immediately went up and held his hand.
"Huaining, I just dreamed about your queen mother. She, she blamed me for not believing in her, which caused her to die early..."
As Lu Huaining listened, his chest seemed to be tightly wrapped by a rope, making him unable to breathe. When he didn't know about his life experience, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the late queen after hearing about her. Now that he knows that she is his biological mother, his heart aches even more.
Therefore, he has never been close to his father, Emperor Yong'an.
"I was sorry for your mother, and I caused you to live outside and suffer a lot..." Emperor Yong'an's confession did not make Lu Huaining feel better. He lowered his head and said nothing, and two lines of tears silently fell from the corners of his eyes. .
His sorrowful look deeply hurt Emperor Yong'an's heart. Emperor Yong'an held Lu Huaining's hand tightly with all his strength, as if he had made a great determination, "I will make it up to you!"
Then, he summoned several close ministers to discuss matters and dismissed the others.
Xiao Chenyan was ignored by Emperor Yong'an from beginning to end. When he left the hall, a bad premonition lingered in his heart.
Emperor Yong'an said he wanted to compensate Lu Huaining. Didn't he already make him Prince Ning? If you want to compensate him, you can only give him the throne.
Xiao Chenyan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light emitted from the corners of his eyes.
Shen Ruzhou set up a medicine stove in the side room, preparing to boil some decoction to soothe the mind and nourish the body. Beixiu Yan is about to go on an expedition, and Emperor Yong'an cannot die now. She must do her best to make Emperor Yong'an last longer.
Lu Huaining felt sad and had no way to resolve it, so he moved a stool and sat in front of the medicine stove. He put his arms on his knees and held his head, watching blankly as the medicine jar emitted white smoke.
Shen Ruzhou saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. The once bright and sunny boy now seemed to have had all his energy drained from his body, and he was confused, sad, exhausted and depressed.
"Huaining, the late Queen knows in heaven, and I hope you are well. Cheer up, you have a master now, and me. We are all your relatives and will always be with you."
"Sister, I know, I just don't know how to face him." Lu Huaining was in a low mood and glanced in the direction of the dormitory.
Shen Ruzhou patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't want to get close to him, there's no need to force him. If you don't occupy your father's identity, you must be filial. We just have to obey our hearts."
"Yes." Lu Huaining nodded, and the entanglement he had been feeling was finally relieved at this moment.
Outside Taihe Palace, Concubine De heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill and hurried over. However, she was stopped by the guards at the door. Unwilling to go back just like that, she argued loudly with the guards.
"I am here to visit the Emperor, why do you stop me?"
"The Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine has said that the Emperor needs to rest, so as to avoid the concubines in the palace asking for permission, you'd better go back." The guard replied respectfully, but did not give in.
Concubine De was not convinced and was about to retort when she saw Xiao Chenyan walking out. She immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Chen Yan, how is your father?"
"Father has woken up and is currently discussing matters with the ministers." Xiao Chenyan replied unhurriedly, without any emotion in his voice.
After hearing this, Concubine De let out a long sigh of relief, but then she thought about it and felt something was wrong. She pulled her son to the side and asked in a low voice, "Since it is a discussion, why don't you stay in?"
Xiao Chenyan is now the crown prince. When Emperor Yong'an was recuperating, he was always in charge of the country, and he was asked to avoid discussing matters that should not be discussed.
Xiao Chenyan knew Emperor Yong'an's intention, but he did not want to say more to his mother. After giving a wry smile, he changed the subject, "What did mother just say to the guards? They have offended you. I will help you deal with them."
"It's okay, there's no need for you to lower yourself and deal with it." Concubine De said, but she couldn't help but feel angry.
"There is no queen in the palace, so the noble concubine has to stand out in everything. She has been accompanying the emperor these days, and everyone else has been driven away by her. By the way, she is still very close to Prince Ning. Do you want to Be careful."
"If you are so restless, then there is no need to keep her." Xiao Chenyan said it calmly, as if dealing with a noble concubine was as easy as crushing an ant.
Concubine De's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, and she looked at her son in disbelief.
Xiao Chenyan has never paid much attention to the imperial concubine. Now that Emperor Yong'an is seriously ill, he may soon rule Bintian, so he must make plans in advance.
"Mother, when we get rid of the noble concubine, you will be the highest-ranking person in the palace. When the time comes, you will stay by my father's side, and it will be much easier for us to do whatever we want to do."
Concubine De listened and nodded immediately, "Okay, I will listen to you."
