"Yes, this servant understands."

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

"This servant takes his leave."

After Anu left, the man suddenly laughed, muttering, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, let's see if you can still be so lucky this time, ha!"

Just then, there was a knock on the study door, and a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the Master says you need to go to the palace with him tomorrow."

“Tell Father that I am still ill and it would be bad if I offended the Emperor. As for the Emperor, he doesn’t need me to fawn over him.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. I will take my leave now."

...

"He still refuses to come out?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the young master says he is still ill, and he is like this..."

"Alright, I understand. You may leave now. I need to rest."

"This servant takes his leave."

The next day, the imperial family members and court officials thought that the emperor would summon them to the dragon bed in the Qianqing Palace, but instead, they were all taken to the Xuanzheng Hall.

Everyone felt a pang of unease, wondering what the Emperor meant. They had all received word that the Emperor was ill and had not yet come to the Xuanzheng Hall. Could it be that the Emperor's illness was not as serious as the rumors suggested?

After all, after the emperor contracted malaria, the people who saw him were basically his close attendants.

Of those who examined the Emperor's pulse, aside from the early stages of his illness when the news wasn't strictly kept under wraps, it seems no one truly knew how the Emperor's condition progressed afterward.

The information they received was all deduced from the emperor's arrangements.

It doesn't seem like it can be used as evidence, because rumors are flying everywhere, and they've heard so many of them that they subconsciously ignore many issues. Now that they've come to the Xuanzheng Hall, their minds are much clearer.

Some people are already getting restless. Not everyone is without dark thoughts; some have already started to take sides in private. The current situation is that some people are starting to panic, while others are watching coldly, intending to just watch the show.

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, Liang Jiugong arrived with a smile on his face. At that moment, some people thought to themselves: This is bad.

Liang Jiugong: "This servant greets all the lords. I apologize for keeping you waiting. His Majesty just met with the First Prince. I hope you will wait a little longer."
