"You're the end..."

When I said this, my body's weakness seemed to turn into helplessness in my heart, as if I was about to fall down at any time. I was strangled by the heavy mood at this moment and the trance nightmare I had before. The flames on the candlestick in my hand fluttered a few times, as if I was about to be extinguished.

I looked at the flames, like I looked at myself.

The darkness swallowed the only light in my hand little by little. I just felt that breathing was getting harder and harder, as if my own would even fall down with the disappearance of the fire.

You wake up soon!

You wake up soon!

I shouted in my heart, but the person on the bed was still motionless.

I slowly closed my eyes and let the darkness swallow me.

At this time, a man walked behind me and whispered: "Miss Yan."

The low and familiar voice, like a hand stretched out by reality, pulled back the afterglow of my nightmare.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw the flames of the candlestick in my hand fluttering for a while and then burning again. When I looked back, it was Eunuch Yu.

He seemed to have not had a good sleep all night. His originally white and fat face was a little dark, and his eyes were a little tired. He walked in from outside with a heavy face. When he saw it was him, my spirit was a little cheered up: "Eunuch Yu, where have you been?"

"Go out and explain to them."

While he said, he looked at the bed with a faint candlelight: "It seems that it is difficult for the emperor to wake up this time. I am afraid that some people will notice something strange today. They will definitely come to inquire about the news. The Yihua Palace will not be quiet anymore."

I gasped.

The cold air in the morning was still filled with the coldness of water dew outside, which made me finally wake up a little. I immediately realized what we were going to face today - the women in the harem would not allow the emperor to indulge in my palace for several days, and the courtiers would not allow such a thing to happen. Before tomorrow's morning court, the people in the harem would inevitably have movements.

This is not the time for me to fall down.

I frowned and said, "Then I must go to see the Queen today."

Eunuch Yu said, "If you want to go, go while it is still early now, and don't let people see it."

"Okay," I nodded, and was about to turn back to the room to get dressed. After thinking about it, I looked back at him: "If they really come to Yihua Palace, then father-in-law, you--"

"Don't worry, this is still difficult for me."

I nodded.

After changing his clothes and walking out of the room, the sky outside was still dark, and only the lanterns held by night patrolmen in their hands emitted a faint light, making the night look even more dull.

My breath was also suppressed for a moment.

I stood at the door and did not walk out immediately. Instead, I turned around. Eunuch Yu stood by the door and looked at me respectfully. I thought for a while and said, "Eunuch Yu, I will go to see the Queen later. If the emperor is not awake, we may-"

Before I could finish my words, Eunuch Yu lowered his head and said softly: "Miss Yan doesn't need to say it."

“…?”

"This is the decision of Miss Yan as the princess' mother and the lord of the harem, the queen. People like me cannot discuss politics."

“…”

I didn't expect that at this time, he would still stick to his duties.

Respectable and lamentable.

I don’t know if I was relieved or if I felt the invisible burden on my shoulders heavier. After looking at him for a while, I nodded gently: “Well, then I’ll leave.”

"good."

I asked Susu to walk in front with a lantern, wrap her cloak tightly, and leave Yihua Palace.

Listening to the bulging sound in the distance, it was already time for me.

At this time, the palace maids in each palace should get up, do some preparations, and wait for their masters to get up for a while.

I was a little worried that I would disturb Chang Qing's rest after going so early. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Jingren Palace, I saw Kouer and Xing'er carrying used hot water basins and a towel came out. Xing'er saw me and was a little surprised: "Miss Yan, are you here?"

I looked at the thing in her hand: "Have the Queen already got up?"

"yes."

"So early?"

"I almost didn't sleep in the past two days."

“…”

I immediately understood, and Ku'er seemed to understand very well, handed the things in his hand to Xing'er, and then said, "Miss Yan is here to find the Queen, I will tell you a message."

I nodded and took Su Su and was about to follow her in. After thinking about it, I turned around and said to Xing'er, "Don't tell others that we are here."

Xing'er immediately said: "Don't worry, Miss."

After saying that, I walked out with my things. I was really relieved of them. Without saying much, I followed Kouer into Jingren Palace. As soon as I entered, I saw that Chang Qing's house was brightly lit at the moment. Kouer asked us to stand at the door. She went in and reported, and after a while, she came out and waved to let me in.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a warm feeling coming.

Chang Qing sat at the table, facing a steaming breakfast, but her face and eyes were not as warm as that, and she seemed a little indifferent. When she heard my footsteps, she turned her head to look at me, and her eyes sank slightly at this moment.

"You're finally here."

|

When I told her what happened in the past two days, after saying the last word, I heard the sound of the bulging outside.

It's time to come.

I could already hear the sound of the palace maids and eunuchs outside walking. Through the window paper, I also saw the lights outside being blown out one by one. The long night was over, but the sun had not completely covered the earth.

This is the darkest time.

And the darkness before our eyes seems to have just begun.

She seemed to know everything, so when she saw me, she said that to me at the first sight. As for what I said, she didn't look surprised at all except holding her breath and listening silently. When I finished speaking, she still sat there silently, but unconsciously, her brows had become a bump.

I said softly: "Ku'er came over yesterday, but the reason I didn't tell her is because-"

She raised her hand gently and stopped me from continuing.

"I know."

She glanced at me again: "I've known from the night the emperor stayed in Yihua Palace."

My heart trembled slightly.

Although the situation was not optimistic, I still smiled faintly at her.

She looked at me: "Master, what is the disease?"

"I have invited several imperial physicians to take my pulse. They all say that the dragon body is not hindered. Just take some medicine to Guben Peiyuan to regulate it. But for some reason, after taking the medicine, the person has no reaction at all. Today is the third day, and I still haven't woken up."

She looked at me anxiously: "How about any other symptoms?"

"No, no pain, no fever and vomiting."

"What about the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician?"

“Here.”

I took out the prescription from my sleeve and gave it to her. She looked at it for a while and shook her head gently.

After a while, she handed the prescription back to me and said slowly: "The emperor's appearance reminds me of another thing."

"What's up?"

"You probably know more about this matter than me," she said, looking up at me: "At that time, the Supreme Emperor..."

As soon as these words came out, my heart sank.

Emperor Pei Ji, when we came back from Yangzhou, he was like this, unconscious until his sons fought for the throne and blood splattered in the imperial city. As today, he had already changed hands, and he was still in the coma that he had not woken up.

I don't know if the prescription I gave is useful.

Chang Qing said: "I heard that the Supreme Emperor was—"

"I was poisoned," I said softly.

She was not too surprised, but there was still a slight vibration on her face. After a while, she said softly: "It's true."

"But," I said, "Your Majesty this time should be different from the Supreme Emperor."

"oh?"

"The Emperor was in a coma at that time and was poisoned by others. The reason why it was unknown is that Yin, someone controlled the Imperial Hospital and also controlled the Imperial Emperor, was the case. But the Emperor's illness was diagnosed by the Imperial Physician. If it was really poisoned, the Imperial Physician would not be able to see it-"

Speaking of this, she seemed to be willing to do so and nodded gently.

But after a moment of silence, she sighed again: "I'm just worried that the situation is unstable now, and the emperor's coma must not be spread. Besides—" she said, her brows frowned even more, and after a while, she lowered her voice: "Tomorrow is the tenth day of the New Year."

It seems that she also realized that if Pei Yuanhao did not attend the morning court tomorrow, the trouble would be caused not only by the harem's concubines who were jealous and competed for favor.

The last time Pei Ji's coma directly led to the battle between several princes for the throne, and this time—

I'm afraid it's not as simple as the battle for the throne.

Chang Qing's breathing became tense, and she looked at me with a serious and serious expression: "What are you planning?"

I said, "I thought that His Majesty would wake up in the past two days and just hide it from everyone. But now, he has not woken up, just because he is afraid that things will not be hidden. If it really can't be hidden--"

"how?"

I looked at her: "Then, you may not just hope that His Majesty will wake up and control the situation. We need to use other methods to control the situation..."

Chang Qing looked at me, her eyes flashing slightly.

I hesitated for a long time and finally slowly said those two words-

"Prince..."

When he heard me say this, Chang Qing suffocated her breathing.

She looked at me in shock.

I also looked at her, and after a while, I nodded heavily.

Although it was just two words, she already understood everything about my words and arrangements.

If the emperor is not here, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Since Pei Yuanhao has already enthroned the prince, then at this time, Nian Shen must stand up and assume the responsibilities that he must bear at critical moments as the prince.
