Shortly after several young imperial doctors left, Fu Ciyi arrived.
"Why are you here, my husband?" Yan Funing raised her eyes and asked him.
"Long Yaodong is here, I'm worried, so I came to check on him." Fu Ciyi said frankly.
Eunuch Song understood this very well: "I asked them to go back earlier, but the princes refused to leave."
"It's okay." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "The Imperial Guards found out that Long Yaodong entered the palace last night. I suspect that the emperor's behavior is closely related to him."
Eunuch Song was shocked when he heard this: "What should we do then?"
"Be patient," Fu Ciyi said. "There's an even bigger problem right now. Long Yaodong's biological father is gathering his troops and might take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
"So what does the Prime Minister mean?"
"Long Yaodong is in the palace right now and cannot meet with Long Feng for the time being, so let's control him."
"I'll do it."
As he said this, he was about to walk out.
"Wait, if you go over like this, it will make him suspicious."
"Please give your instructions, Prime Minister."
"When he wants to leave..." Fu Ciyi glanced at Leng Feng and Leng Ying, "You guys control him."
"Yes, sir." Leng Feng Leng Ying agreed.
Eunuch Song was still worried: "What if Long Feng causes trouble outside the palace?"
"I have informed the Imperial Guards, don't worry, eunuch."
"Thank you, Prime Minister. Now I have a clearer mind."
At this moment, the emperor on the dragon bed moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.
Yan Funing saw it and whispered, "Husband, Eunuch Song, the emperor has woken up."
The two of them walked over quickly.
Eunuch Song leaned forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"fine……"
He spoke slowly and with a lisp.
"Quickly give the emperor some water." Yan Funing ordered, "Warm water."
Eunuch Song hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and fed it to the emperor spoonfully.
After a moment, the emperor's speech became much clearer: "I have heard everything that Minister Fu said. Very good."
"I hope Your Majesty does not blame me for acting on my own initiative." Fu Ciyi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The emperor nodded slowly and looked at Yan Funing: "Young lady of the Fu family, tell me the truth, did I have a stroke?"
"There are indeed signs of a stroke, but looking at the emperor's facial expression, speech, and the mobility of his hands and feet, it's not a stroke, but..."
Yan Funing's eyes began to turn red before she could continue speaking.
The emperor smiled and said, "I know my own health very well. I will die soon. It will probably be in the next few days."
"emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Song immediately knelt on the ground.
The emperor said gently, "Get up."
"I have been by your side since I was young. What should I do if you are like this?" Eunuch Song kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to follow you and continue to take care of you."
The emperor smiled and said, "No need. If I leave, you will follow Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing from now on. They will be good masters. I am relieved to leave you to them."
Eunuch Song kowtowed again: "Yes, this old servant will obey the emperor's order!"
Then he stood up.
Yan Funing shed tears and leaned her forehead on Fu Ciyi's shoulder.
The emperor smiled faintly: "Don't cry, young lady from the Fu family. I have made contributions and mistakes in my life. My only regret is that I have no biological children. In fact, I feel very warmed by your crying now."
"Your humble medical skills are not sophisticated enough, Your Majesty."
Yan Funing wiped her tears, but they still fell.
Fu Ciyi felt distressed when he saw this and slowly helped her wipe away her tears.
"How is it not exquisite enough? The entire Imperial Hospital couldn't wake me up, only you could. I also want to thank you. It was only with your acupuncture that I was awakened, and I had enough time to arrange my affairs after my death."
The emperor smiled calmly and said, "You two can call me Imperial Uncle."
There was silence in the bedroom.
After a long while, Fu Ciyi finally called out, "Uncle Emperor."
Yan Funing followed suit and called out, "Uncle Emperor."
The emperor nodded in satisfaction, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "I suddenly fainted last night. It was Long Yaodong who forced me to abdicate. He wanted me to write an imperial edict to pass the throne to him."
Eunuch Song said, "Master Fu just suspected it was the eldest prince."
The emperor ordered: "After I leave, Fu Ciyi, the first thing you must do is to destroy the Longfeng Long Yaodong lineage for me."
Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "I obey your command."
"Your Majesty, who is the heir to the throne?" Eunuch Song asked quietly, "I know I shouldn't ask, but at this critical moment, several princes are outside."
"Don't let them know that I've woken up yet. As for the successor to the throne, I will make the decision myself." The emperor looked at Fu Ciyi, "I want to see your father."
"Yes, I will return to the palace immediately and bring him into the palace."
"Go ahead."
The emperor nodded and spoke weakly.
--
After resting well in his own house, Old Ding went to the Princess's house.
Tell Long Chi'an about the emperor's situation.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has suffered a stroke. Even if he wakes up, he will be unable to preside over court affairs. A new emperor will ascend the throne by then. How will Your Highness respond?"
Long Chi'an looked at Shadow Five and Shadow Seven who had just come over and asked, "What's going on?"
Ying Qi reported, "Several princes are in the palace right now, probably because they're worried that the emperor will suddenly appoint a crown prince, or order someone else to govern the country."
Ying Wu also reported, "Second Miss Yan has been in the palace since early morning until this evening. The imperial physicians have been out in succession, and although there's no news of the emperor waking up, I believe the doctors have all been sent to rest, so the emperor's condition is generally okay."
Long Chi'an pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's just wait and see what happens."
On this side, people were discussing how to deal with the turmoil in the court caused by the emperor's current physical condition.
On the other side, Fu Ciyi returned to Prince Jin's Mansion and went to Long Yi.
Seeing him coming over, and it was the first time he entered his study since he returned to the palace, Long Yi was a little surprised.
"That wind?"
"You really don't care about the affairs of the court?" Fu Ciyi asked.
"It's not my kingdom, why should I care?"
What the hell.
Long Yi said unhappily.
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "The Emperor is not in good condition. He is probably on his deathbed. He wants to see you."
Long Yi was startled when he heard this, then frowned and said, "Wasn't he very capable? How come he is on his deathbed?"
"Long Yaodong forced the emperor to abdicate last night. It happened suddenly." Fu Ciyi said directly, "Just tell me whether you want to enter the palace or not?"
Long Yi gritted his teeth and said after a moment, "I'll go."
He immediately stood up and strode out.
Fu Ciyi followed him and warned in a low voice, "Uncle Huang's condition isn't very good. Although he's eloquent, he's hanging on by a thread. The current situation in the palace is that the princes are all guarding outside the bedroom. Outside the palace, Long Feng is gathering his men, probably planning a rebellion. When you enter the palace and meet the princes, you must not reveal a single word of what I'm telling you."
"You little bastard, do you want me to teach you how to do things?"
Long Yi stopped and raised his hand to hit.
He paused, then came to his senses, "You call him Uncle Emperor, why don't you call me Father, King?"
