Because the emperor suddenly fell ill, the imperial court suddenly surged up and down, and many people speculated on the emperor's condition in secret. Some people, under the banner of visiting, inquired about the emperor's condition secretly and openly, and wanted to know what he could wake up to?

Yan Chengli stayed in the Qianqing palace every day, giving medicine to the emperor, scrubbing his body, and serving him wholeheartedly. He looked at the people who came to visit, but did not feel sad at all. He also asked him whether the emperor would not wake up. He just gave a cold smile and felt that they were hypocritical.

The queen often came here, but because the emperor suddenly fell ill and left the harem in chaos, she needed her to take charge of the overall situation. Therefore, she did not come every day, but came every few days. Once she stayed, she would spend most of the day. The queen and the emperor have been married for decades, but they respect each other as guests and respect each other. So when the emperor vomited blood and fainted, she was stunned. She forgot the etiquette, raised the skirt of the official dress, and ran over, kneeling beside the emperor, shaking his body and calling him.

She did hate him. She hated him for forgetting the old man when he had a new man, and he hated him for treating her son so much. After all, they were young husband and wife. She married him who was still the prince when she was 15 years old. She supported him all the way to this day. Even though the original love was almost worn out, she did not think that he would leave her first.

The queen sat by the bed and wiped the emperor's face and hands with a handkerchief. She turned to the maid and said, ”pour out the dirty water, and then bring in a basin of clean warm water.”

”Yes, Madame.” The maiden answered and went out with the basin of dirty water.

Yan Chengli, who was lying asleep, woke up and opened his eyes to see the queen wiping his hands for the emperor. He seemed to hear his wake-up voice and smile bitterly. He said in a helpless way: ”this palace married your father as soon as he got the hairpin. At that time, he was just a little prince, no title, no official position, and he was fond of playing...”

The empress recalled the past, with a soft light in her drooping eyes. Yan Chengli was a little sad. How many years had he not seen the gentle appearance of the empress mother?

For him, for the sake of his grandfather's family, the empress mother hid her frailty with a hard mask, and always maintained her majestic image of the mother in front of outsiders.

”I didn't think that he would one day...” The Queen's mouth raised a smile, Zai Zai carefully wiped the emperor's hands, even every finger seam did not let go, then, for the emperor tucked in the quilt, looking at his illness still frown, a heavy look, reached for him to caress the frown, said strange, she stroked, the emperor's tight iron brow actually loosened, the corner of the mouth seemed to rise slightly.

When the queen saw this, she also laughed. The smile from her heart made her look radiant and energetic. She turned her head and said to Yan Chengli, ”if your father can't stand it, and you can ascend the throne, we will follow him.”

”Empress mother!” Yan Chengli stood up in shock, ”mother, this joke can't be played.”

The queen was not surprised by his reaction. She got up, poured a glass of water, and carefully fed it to the emperor. She whispered, ”this palace is not joking. If you go down, you will be buried.”

The queen gazed at the emperor affectionately, ”you are all grown up. There is nothing to worry about in this palace. But your father and Emperor are different. He loved to be lively most. On the way to the yellow spring, if you don't have the palace to accompany you, how lonely it would be.”

”Empress mother!” Yan Chengli opened his mouth and had a lot of words to say, but he finally called out these two words. He always thought that the empress mother had no deep feelings for his father. After all, they had always respected each other. They were not as affectionate as the father and his beloved concubines. However, what he did not want to see was just a superficial phenomenon.

The maiden brought in warm water. The queen got up to take the basin, put it on the shelf, and put the towel in for washing. Li Dehai came in in in a hurry and said, ”the Queen's wife, Zheng Guifei, Jiang Shufei and other concubines are outside the door asking to see the Emperor. ”

the queen washed the towel, put it on the shelf, washed her hands, and then said,” let them in. ”

He turned his head and said to Yan Chengli, ”Yongming, you should go back to the mansion first. Here is the palace to take care of it.”

Yongming is the word of Yan Chengli. He looks up at the queen carefully, as if he wants to keep her in mind forever.

”Go back and take lin'er into the palace some other day to see Ben Yan and the Empress Dowager.” The queen patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, ”pay attention to your emperor's younger brother, for the new year's Eve. Don't let them make trouble when your father is ill.”

Yan Chengli nodded and turned to leave. When he went out, he happened to see imperial concubine Zheng and his concubines come in boldly. Seeing him saluting, he also turned a blind eye and stormed in.

When Princess Zheng went in, she saw the emperor lying on the bed, covered with quilts. Her face looked very pale, but her breath was still strong. She seemed to be asleep.

She immediately made a look of heartbreaking, fell down on the edge of the bed, tearing heart and lung to cry, ”Your Majesty, how did you fall ill? I can't eat and sleep soundly these days. I chant Buddha every day and pray for your Majesty's early recovery. Your majesty... ”

The voice was so sad and sad that it was so sad that the listener wept. The queen sat on one side and looked at her crying performance with a teacup in her hand.A total of 13 concubines, who followed Zheng Guifei up, heard her crying so sad that she could not help but take out her handkerchief and wipe away the tears in her eyes.

Zheng Guifei cried bitterly. She didn't notice that the emperor's finger moved. She cried for a while, wiped her tears with her handkerchief, and sobbed in a low voice. Thinking of the result of the discussion with her third brother yesterday, she was really sad. The third brother shared the current situation with her and told her that if the emperor could not wake up again, the capital city would certainly be in a state of turmoil Hui's several princes will do something, which is very bad for the injured second prince. But if the emperor wakes up, all the civil and military officials will definitely ask his majesty to establish the prince. The second prince is afraid that there is no chance of winning. The third elder brother gives her advice and asks her to support Zheng Meiren's emperor's son, or let the emperor not wake up. Then he takes the opportunity to forge the imperial edict and pass the throne to the second prince.
