Chapter 423 The Queen Mother Suffers a Stroke
Shen Lirong's mind was turning quickly.
Soon, she reacted.
"Jing'er, stop talking nonsense! If your father doesn't like me, I'll just leave! How can you leave? You are your father's biological child, and you have royal blood flowing in your body!
Besides, you still have the blood of the Shen family in your body. Even for your grandmother and the Shen family, you cannot leave the palace!
It’s me that your father doesn’t like, so I’ll just leave! Maybe after I leave, your father will change his attitude towards you…”
Chu Huaijing scoffed at this.
"Mother, do you believe what you said? If he really treated me as his son, how could he make me kneel down just because I questioned him after seeing me?
At the gate of Shou'an Palace! People were coming and going there. I knelt for an hour. Now the whole palace, maybe the whole capital, knows about this. What dignity do I have left?
Not only did he make me kneel, he also made you, my mother, kneel with me! He humiliated both of us at the same time! He is not worthy of being my father!"
Chu Huaijing has really been spoiled over the years. He always says whatever he thinks.
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became. Many things just came out of his mouth without any thinking.
"I think he's been bewitched by the Crown Prince and his mother. Otherwise, with so many children, why would he only care about the Crown Prince? Just because that little girl saved the Crown Prince's life, he indulges her so much. He even sided with her when she spoke so harshly about the Empress Dowager in public! If this isn't bewitching, what is? Mother, don't waste time here. The longer we delay, the more miserable our lives will become. Maybe in the end, even our fate will be at stake! Let's get going!"
Chu Huaijing said this while reaching out to pull Shen Lirong's arm.
Although he was a half-grown boy, he had learned some boxing and kicking skills before, and was stronger than Shen Lirong.
At this time, he pulled Shen Lirong hard, but even if Shen Lirong wanted to break free, she couldn't do it.
The Empress Dowager became more and more angry as she watched the mother and son arguing with each other.
"I know what you're thinking. There's no need to act like that! Jing'er, don't you think about who taught you all these tricks and strategies? Wasn't it me?"
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to continue acting after being exposed in front of the Empress Dowager like this.
However, Chu Huaijing, who grew up with the Empress Dowager, knew this very well.
At this moment, he absolutely cannot stop while he is ahead. He must keep making trouble. It would be best if he could make the Empress Dowager become a little impatient. Only then can he stop and get what he wants most.
Thinking this in his heart, Chu Huaijing glanced at the Empress Dowager with grief and anger, "Grandmother, do you think Mother and I are just acting? If so, then let's go now, and set off back to Mount Wutai. You can see for yourself whether we really want to leave."
After saying that, Chu Huaixu pulled Shen Lirong and continued to walk out.
Seeing the two of them walking so fast, the Empress Dowager stood up and banged her cup.
When the two men heard the sound and looked over, the Queen Mother immediately shouted and walked towards them excitedly.
The Empress Dowager not only walked over, but also reached out to pull Chu Huaijing.
"Jing'er, stop messing around! Grandma knows you've been wronged and you're upset. Grandma will definitely seek justice for you. Please sit down!"
Chu Huaijing still didn't stop while he was ahead.
He has had a smooth life for so many years, when has he ever suffered such injustice!
No matter what you say today!
He always wanted the Queen Mother to say something to help him vent his anger!
Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep tonight!
Thinking of this, Chu Huaijing withdrew his hand forcefully.
He just wanted to get his hand back.
But I don’t know how it was done.
The empress dowager, who was originally standing well, suddenly fell backwards.
When Shen Lirong saw this scene, her heart instantly rose to her throat and she reached out to stop him.
But it was too late.
She stretched out her hand, but could only watch the Empress Dowager fall backwards.
Bang!
With a bang, the Empress Dowager's head hit the corner of the chaise longue, and then her body slid to the ground.
All of this happened almost in the blink of an eye, leaving people completely unable to react.
By the time everyone reacted, the Queen Mother had her eyes closed, her teeth clenched, and half of her face was twitching wildly.
Seeing the Empress Dowager like this, everyone present thought of what Yu Youning had said before.
Yu Youning said that the Empress Dowager showed signs of a stroke.
Now, it seems that the Queen Mother has really had a stroke!
Shen Lirong exclaimed and looked at the frightened palace maids and eunuchs beside her.
"What are you all still standing there for! Go get the doctor!"
The palace maids and eunuchs all reacted and rushed out.
Before they could run out, Shen Lirong called them again.
"Everyone, stop! You're all running around like headless flies! One of you go get the imperial physician, one of you go get the emperor, and the rest of you, come and get the empress dowager to bed first!"
With Shen Lirong's arrangements, these people finally calmed down.
Two people ran away, and the rest came over, carefully lifted the empress dowager up and put her on the bed.
Chu Huaijing stared at the scene in a daze, he was completely frightened.
His face was very pale and his body was trembling slightly.
The fear in my heart almost turned into reality.
"Jing'er!"
"Jing'er!"
"Jing'er?"
Shen Lirong called out several times in succession, but received no response.
Chu Huaijing seemed to be frightened silly, and he didn't know where his soul had gone.
Shen Lirong had no choice but to slap Chu Huaijing hard on the body.
Chu Huaijing felt pain and finally came to his senses and looked towards Shen Lirong.
“Mother…Mother!”
Chu Huaijing is over twelve years old this year, not yet thirteen.
I have been living like a little bully these years, and I have never seen such a scene.
At this time, the words were not coherent.
"Mother! I really didn't mean it! Please believe me!"
"I just wanted to pull my hand back! I really didn't expect the Empress Dowager to fall!"
"Mother, will the Imperial Grandmother be alright?"
Shen Lirong was also in a panic.
but.
Chu Huaijing was already so panicked that as a mother, she could only remain calm.
If even she panicked, then both she and her son would be like fish on a sticky chopping board, at the mercy of others!
"Jing'er!"
"Of course mother believes you!"
"Your Royal Grandmother loves you the most. Only when your Royal Grandmother is well can you be well. You are not a fool, how could you possibly harm your Royal Grandmother!"
Listening to Shen Lirong's words, Chu Huaijing gradually calmed down.
"right!"
Chu Huaijing nodded vigorously.
"Mother is right!"
"In this world, no one wants the best for the Imperial Grandmother more than I do! There is no way I would harm her!"
Seeing that Chu Huaijing had finally calmed down and could speak properly, Shen Lirong felt a little relieved.
"That's right! When the emperor comes and asks you, just tell him this! This was all just an accident!"
"Behind your Royal Grandmother and Fu Ze, the imperial physicians in the palace are highly skilled. Nothing will happen to your Royal Grandmother!"
Chu Huaijing took all of these words in and nodded, "Mother is right. I understand!"
While the mother and son were discussing, the emperor and empress, along with the prince and the imperial physician, hurried over.
Seeing this, Shen Lirong immediately pulled Chu Huaijing forward and said, "Your Majesty, what happened..."
"Shut up!"
The emperor interrupted Shen Lirong.
"Let the imperial physician examine Mother first."
Shen Lirong could only shut her mouth and watch the imperial physician treat the empress dowager.
Although Shen Lirong didn't dare to speak, she kept praying in her heart.
Pray that the Queen Mother is fine and recovers soon.
By then, as long as the Empress Dowager doesn’t pursue the matter, everything will be fine!
Shen Lirong thought so in her heart and looked at the imperial physician eagerly.
Several imperial physicians came forward one after another and treated the patient.
Finally, they gathered together again and discussed in low voices.
The emperor waited patiently at first, but after waiting for a while and seeing that they still hadn't finished their discussion, he began to get impatient.
"What's the Queen Mother's condition like? Why don't you tell me quickly?"
When several imperial doctors heard the emperor's angry words, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's condition...is not optimistic!"
The emperor's expression became more serious. "What exactly is the situation? Why is it not optimistic? Please explain it clearly."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been in Mount Wutai for these years. Her living and eating habits are probably not very good—"
"What's wrong with it specifically?" the emperor asked.
"this...."
The imperial physician looked troubled.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it.
I really dare not say it!
If this is said, it will be a question whether you can walk out of Shou'an Palace alive.
Seeing the imperial physician's expression, the emperor knew that what the imperial physician was going to say next would probably not be good.
Look around.
The emperor asked everyone he and the queen had brought with him to leave.
The rest are the imperial physicians and those who have been serving the Empress Dowager over the years.
These people have followed the Empress Dowager for so many years, and no one knows her situation better than them, so there is no need to be afraid of them finding out.
"Speak!" the emperor said in a deep voice. "Just tell the truth and I'll forgive you! You all know the rules. Just don't tell anyone about what happened today."
After hearing what the emperor said, the imperial doctors felt relieved and began to speak.
"The Empress Dowager has probably spent less time alone at night these past few years, and has contracted some... syphilis. Although she's been treated, she hasn't fully recovered. This disease can weaken the body...
The Empress Dowager suddenly became weak and fainted at the slightest touch. This may also be the reason..."
