Chapter 101
----------
In the days that followed, Song Xuan remained busy. Shen Qingnian had a solution in mind, and her mood improved somewhat, and her appetite also returned a little better.
Three days later, in the afternoon, Xiaoju rushed into the palace, her face somewhat flustered: "Your Highness, the Emperor just fainted suddenly in Fengyi Palace!"
Shen Qingnian, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly stood up and asked repeatedly, "Has His Highness the Crown Prince gone there?"
His Majesty has been suffering from minor illnesses lately, and Song Xuan said last time that it was just a slight ailment. How could he suddenly faint!
“His Highness the Crown Prince was discussing matters in the Imperial Study, but he has already rushed over there,” Xiaoju replied with her head down.
Shen Qingnian thought for a moment and then ordered, "Help me change my clothes."
Although she was pregnant, she had to get to the scene as soon as possible when the emperor suddenly fainted.
Xiaoju hesitated, "Your Highness, your health..."
Since the Crown Princess became pregnant, her health has deteriorated considerably. She feared that the Crown Princess's body would not be able to withstand the constant back and forth.
Shen Qingnian frowned: "His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and also my father-in-law. In the current situation, even if I am ten months pregnant, I must be present!"
There's still quite some time before she leaves, so she must do all this work perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.
When Xiaoju heard her say that, she straightened herself up and quickly fetched her formal attire.
Because of her pregnancy, Shen Qingnian wore only formal attire, kept her hair accessories simple, and applied only a light touch of makeup, which was both appropriate and not perfunctory.
After she changed her clothes, Xiaoju helped her to the outside of the palace. Xiazi had already been waiting at the door with a sedan chair. When she saw her come out, she quickly ran forward.
"Your Highness, this sedan chair was specially sent to you by His Highness the Crown Prince."
His Highness guessed that the Crown Princess would definitely go to Fengyi Palace, so when he heard the news, he sent him with a sedan chair.
Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the sedan chair. She carefully helped Shen Qingnian into the chair and said with a smile, "Your Highness truly cares for the Crown Princess."
Xia Zi waved his whisk and replied, "Your Highness cares most deeply for the Crown Princess!"
After saying that, he gestured to the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to walk towards the Phoenix Palace.
When Shen Qingnian arrived at Fengyi Palace, the imperial physicians were kneeling on the ground. They had already examined the emperor's pulse and were now kneeling to report to Song Xuan and the empress.
The empress, seated on the throne, had red eyes, clearly having cried, while Song Xuan's face was serious, his aura somewhat cold and heavy.
The imperial physician kneeling at the front spoke tremblingly: "Your Highness, His Majesty's sudden fainting is likely due to a recurrence of an old ailment. His Majesty suffered a severe brain injury when he was young, and there has been a blood clot in his brain ever since. Today, it is likely that the blood clot in his brain has spread, which is why he fainted."
When the emperor was young, he was once assassinated. In the chaos, the emperor hit his head on a pillar to protect the empress and fainted. The bruise was left at that time.
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, the Empress's tears fell again. She raised her hand to wipe them away, sobbing softly, "It's all because of me that His Majesty is like this..."
Shen Qingnian walked in at that moment. Seeing the Empress wiping away tears, she quickly went to the Empress, raised her hand to gently pat the Empress's shoulder, and softly comforted her, "Please don't worry too much, Mother."
When the Empress saw her arrive, she reached out and took her hand, her voice choked with emotion: "You're still pregnant, why did you come all this way?"
During this period, Shen Qingnian's health was not very good due to her pregnancy, and the Empress was aware of this.
“Your Majesty is not only the Emperor, but also my father-in-law. Even though I am pregnant, I still have to come,” Shen Qingnian said very politely.
