Chapter 86 Yang Guifei, the Fanatic

When Wen Li'er woke up, she instructed Qingmei and Qingzhu to hang the lily painting that His Highness had painted last night at the end of the bed.

Learn to draw at the head of the bed and at the foot of the bed.

Well, that’s really good.

Nanny Ding quietly left the hall.

She was sent by the Queen Mother to serve Wen Lier.

But Wen Li'er has Nanny Qin in charge of everything inside and outside the palace, so she doesn't have much of a presence.

He disappeared from everyone's sight for a while, and no one took it seriously.

Even if I noticed it, I wouldn't care too much.

Nanny Ding avoided everyone in Qionghua Palace and came to Cining Palace.

At the beginning, the empress dowager sent her and four palace maids to the Eastern Palace to take care of Wen Fengyi, but it was not just to take care of the child in Wen Fengyi's belly.

The Queen Mother also told her to observe Wen Lier carefully.

After all, the palace can't afford to have another Yang Guifei appear.

If Wen Li'er really had any inappropriate thoughts, the child must not stay with her.

After Nanny Ding came over, she reported what happened in Wen Fengyi Palace as usual.

The Queen Mother then asked, "What do you think of Wen Fengyi's personality? Has he become spoiled because of his favor?"

Nanny Ding shook her head and reported truthfully, "Wen Fengyi is not arrogant at all. He is extremely kind to the palace servants. He has a good heart and no bad intentions."

The Queen Mother thought, wasn’t it the same when Yang Guifei first entered the palace?

But after giving birth to three children in a row, she started to lose her mind.

Some people are good at acting from the beginning, while some change their character later on because they cannot resist the temptation of wealth, fame and power.

The Queen Mother ordered, "Keep watching. If anything seems amiss, report it to me immediately."

"yes."

Nanny Ding bowed and retreated.

…

Back in Guanju Palace, Yang Guifei has been both angry and panicked recently.

The prince was in charge of government affairs, and many of the ministers who stood on his side had been dealt with by the prince one after another.

She was extremely angry and also worried that if the crown prince monopolized power, her two sons would no longer have any hope of becoming emperor.

If the prince becomes emperor, the queen will naturally become the empress dowager.

By that time, how could she survive?

The more Yang Guifei thought about it, the more anxious she became. She quickly packed up and went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty.

Originally, the Queen Mother was worried that her bastard son would not be able to resist the temptation of women and have an affair with the concubines while he was recuperating from his illness.

So, after the emperor returned to Beijing from the Bishui Palace, she issued an imperial decree.

Emperor Dao caught a cold in the Bishui Palace and his condition worsened over and over again, damaging his vitality.

During the emperor's recuperation period, all concubines are not allowed to disturb him.

Who dares to disobey the Empress Dowager's order?

The concubines who were originally competing with each other for beauty in the harem suddenly became quiet.

Except...Yang Guifei.

After all, Yang Guifei was the emperor's beloved. When she ran to see the emperor, the emperor immediately asked Hong Yun to bring her in.

But in fact, he also cherishes his life.

As soon as Yang Guifei entered, she took off her outer cloak, revealing her deep rg back...

His eyes glowed green as he watched, and after swallowing hard, he looked away.

"My beloved, why did you come to see me today?"

Yang Guifei raised her eyes and met his, her eyes instantly reddened.

Crystal clear tears slid across her fair cheek, an indescribable beauty.

"Yesterday I had a dream that the Emperor's condition worsened. I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep all night, and I was tormented for the entire morning. Finally, I couldn't help but run to see His Majesty. Only when I'm sure His Majesty is alright can I rest assured."

When the emperor saw her like this, his heart softened.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will be well again soon."

Yang Guifei was unconvinced: "Your Majesty, how long do you mean by 'very soon'? If he is really almost fully recovered, why can't the Emperor even handle state affairs?"

When the emperor heard her say this, he became angry.

"The old quacks in the Imperial Hospital have seen their salaries increase significantly, but their skills haven't improved much. They've been treating me for such a minor illness for so long, yet they haven't been able to cure it."

Yang Guifei leaned forward and rubbed the emperor's shoulders with her soft hands.

"The Imperial Medical Bureau's physicians are incompetent, Your Majesty, please seek help from the common people. There are many doctors among the common people who are just as capable as the Imperial Physicians. However, these Imperial Physicians are truly strange. When the Crown Prince was injured by an assassin before, he was cured in just a few days. But when it comes to Your Majesty, this illness is no worse than the Crown Prince's sword wound, so why has it taken so long to heal? The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and while Your Majesty is alive, it is the Crown Prince who presides over the government. Those who don't know would think..."

I thought it was something else, but she didn't say anything more.

But it succeeded in changing the emperor's expression.

Yes, the prince was injured by an assassin.

Although he didn't see the wound, judging from the thick gauze and the bloodstains on the gauze, the injury was not light.

How come the imperial physician cured it in just a few days?

His disease is bloodless and painless, and at first half of his body cannot move.

The imperial physician was slow in his treatment and could not cure him. His mother either sent him to the temporary palace or told him to stay in the Yangxin Palace and not go anywhere else.

Seeing the suspicion and anger in his eyes, Yang Guifei's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to persuade him in a coquettish voice:

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. The Crown Prince is a capable man, managing the court very well. He frequently summons important officials to the Eastern Palace to discuss state affairs, and he's also very concerned about your Majesty's medicine, even visiting the Imperial Hospital himself. With the Crown Prince so dedicated, your Majesty can rest assured and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's face turned pale.

He turned to look at Hong Yun and asked angrily, "Did the Crown Prince really summon important officials to the Eastern Palace during this period?"

Hong Yun met Yang Guifei's smiling eyes and nodded, "Yes, I have."

General Luo can indeed be considered an important official.

There is also Su Muyang, the direct descendant of the century-old Su family. All the elders in his family hold important positions in the court.

He's not wrongly accusing the prince, is he?

The emperor slammed the table so hard that the teacup fell off and broke into pieces.

The prince even went to the Imperial Hospital to ask about his medicine?

The emperor remembered that when the prince came to report to him about the spies from the Western Yu Kingdom, he advised him to use medicine with a slower effect.

"Asshole! No wonder this minor illness of mine took so long!"

The emperor's face flushed and his chest heaved rapidly.

He even overturned the coffee table next to him.

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother is pruning a pot of forsythia.

She was a little surprised to see Xiuping running in hurriedly.

"You girl, you usually look calm, but it turns out you're also a bit irritable."

Xiuping hurried forward and bowed, "Empress Dowager, this is terrible! The Emperor is on a killing spree in the Imperial Hospital. He has already killed several doctors and is now planning to kill Judge He!"

The scissors in the Queen Mother's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", almost hitting her feet.

She didn't even have time to change into a palace dress and just strode out.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Zhong hurriedly followed with a group of palace servants.
