The emperor only felt a buzzing in his ears and his vision went dark.

He could no longer sit there, so he simply ignored the civil and military officials in the court below, stood up and left without hesitation, leaving behind only a hurried back.

Zhao Rang cleared his throat and shouted to the ministers in a long voice: "Dismiss the court!"

After saying this, Zhao Rang quickly followed the emperor's footsteps and left the Golden Palace at a rapid pace.

The civil and military officials below looked at each other in shock.

What on earth had happened to make the emperor so displeased? !

"snort!"

An unhappy snort broke the silent air in the Golden Throne Hall.

Five or six civil servants with elegant faces walked away, with fluttering beards and backs as straight as pine trees, carrying with them an air of superiority and aristocratic character.

When walking past the Duke of England Fang Huairui, the Minister of Revenue Wang Kangyin gave Fang Huairui a cold glare.

The censor's impeachment of the eldest prince was none of the Duke of Yingzhou's business. To put it bluntly, the Duke of Yingzhou was just resentful of Prince Kang for stabbing his son Fang Mingfeng, so he took his anger out on the Queen Mother and the aristocratic families, deliberately trying to stir up trouble!

Fang Huairui was not afraid of Wang Kangyin, and stared back without showing any weakness. His expression and eyes seemed to say, Bite me if you dare! What a reckless man! Wang Kangyin waved his sleeves heavily and strode away. In his heart, he also sighed that women ruined the country. Why did Wang Kang offend the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion for a mere third daughter of the Gu family!

At the rear, more than twenty civil servants followed closely, escorting Wang Kangyin and others in the front away, exuding an aura of transcendence.

Today's morning court session just began and ended early.

Most of the court officials present were not in a hurry to leave. They were discussing in groups of two or three. No one paid any attention to the dazed Censor Li who had fallen to the ground, as if he did not exist at all.

Duke Wei Shen of Weiguo stretched out his arm to pull Fang Huairui, then quietly leaned over to ask him, "What's going on? Why are you so enthusiastic?"

He stretched out his index finger and pointed in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Since the eldest prince returned to the palace last year, the emperor moved to the Qianqing Palace and gave the Yangxin Palace to the eldest prince to live in.

Fang Huairui's eyes twitched, and an indescribable expression flashed across his eyes. He called out to Wei Shen in a rough voice, "Brother, let's go for a drink together?"

The implication is that we can talk about it in private.

Wei Shen patted Fang Huairui's broad shoulders, laughed loudly, and said in a loud voice: "Come on, I'll invite you to Tianyin Pavilion for a drink."

As the two talked, they walked out of the Golden Palace, and their voices gradually faded away.

The sound of conversation was faintly heard through the cold wind: "Brother, do you know what happened? Why did the emperor suddenly..."

"I'm afraid it's Princess Anle..." Wei Shen sighed.

Wei Shen often went in and out of the palace, and he recognized the eunuch who came to report the news as being from Jingren Palace.

The emperor had few concubines in his harem, all of whom were his old friends from the Eastern Palace. He had few children, only one son and one daughter, whom the emperor had always treated as treasures.

When the eldest princess Anle was born, she was in good health, but five years ago she suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden for three full months. After she recovered, she could no longer stand up.

After that, the eldest princess became frail and sickly. In the past five years, she was on the verge of death several times, and the imperial physician had to implicitly remind the emperor to be mentally prepared.

The emperor just left in such a hurry, leaving behind all the civil and military officials. It is very likely that the eldest princess is sick again.

There was a gloomy atmosphere inside Jingren Palace.

Along the way, the palace servants saluted the emperor tremblingly, but the emperor ignored them and rushed into the Anle bedroom like a gust of wind.

Anle, wearing a white middle-length dress, lay quietly on the couch against the wall. Such a small person, made to look even more delicate and fragile by the huge bed, as if the slightest touch would hurt her.

In front of the bed, six or seven sweaty imperial doctors all knelt on the ground. When they saw the emperor, they kowtowed in unison: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The imperial physician kneeling in the middle hurriedly bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess...is not well."

“……” The emperor’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe it.

His daughter was fine yesterday and even came to the Qianqing Palace to play with his parrot. They had also agreed that he would take her out of the palace to watch the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. How could she suddenly become unwell?

"Anle!" The emperor rushed to the couch in two steps, looked at the little girl on the couch with heartache, his eyes red.

The little girl had long black hair, her eyes were closed, her skin was pale, her cheeks were flushed, and she was breathing very hard through her mouth and nose, as if she would run out of breath at any time.

Her pale, dry lips and the collar of her white gown were stained with bright red blood, which was shocking to see.

"pain……"

A painful groan escaped the little girl's mouth and she raised her hand with difficulty to grab something, her slender fingers trembling slightly.

The emperor felt as if his heart was being tugged at. He quickly grabbed his daughter's trembling hand, held it tightly, and soothed her, "An Le, I'm here."

The palace maids in Jingren Palace also knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at the emperor.

The emperor looked at his dying daughter with great pain, and asked the palace servants, "What happened? Wasn't the princess fine last night?"

The maid in charge said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the princess was fine when she woke up this morning. She ate a bowl of millet porridge, some steamed dumplings, and jujube and walnut cakes. She also asked me to push her to the imperial garden for a walk."

"I also accompanied His Highness to pick a few plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden. His Highness said that after the Emperor leaves the court, he will go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and place the plum blossoms in the Imperial Study."

"But just after picking two plum branches, His Highness suddenly vomited blood, had a high fever, and fell into a coma..."

The eyes of the palace maid in charge also turned red, her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with crystal tears.

The cold sweat on the foreheads of the kneeling imperial doctors became more and more intense, and several of them wiped the sweat with their sleeves. The Grand Princess was weak and sickly, and the imperial doctors were frequent visitors to Jingren Palace, so they naturally knew how much the emperor valued this precious daughter.

“Cough cough cough…”

Anle on the couch suddenly started coughing, and then his limbs began to twitch rapidly. Veins on his forehead bulged, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead to his neck.

The whole person seemed to be suffering from a kind of torn pain, and an extremely weak voice escaped from his trembling lips: "Father...Emperor..."

The emperor was at a loss and was about to cry. He could only order the palace maids to hold down his daughter's limbs to prevent her from hurting herself due to convulsions.

What should I do? The emperor was confused and asked, "Where is Shangqing Zhenren?
