Chapter 240 The Emperor is Seriously Ill



The group rushed back to the camp. The fire had already been put out. Xie Xun was leading people to clean up the mess. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and only two granaries were burned.

Seeing that Su Juan was not even wearing armor and was covered in blood, Xie Xun frowned, "Are you injured?"

Su Juan then lowered her eyes and looked at her body. She had been stabbed several times, but most of the blood was from other people. "It was just a superficial wound. Just apply some medicine."

Shi Yuan rushed back and Yuan Li apologized to him. No one had expected that the Southern Army, which had just been defeated, would still lead people to launch a surprise attack and even let people rescue the captives. Even Princess Jinyang was not protected and suffered some injuries.

In the tent, the military doctor bandaged Su Juan's wounds. Xie Xun then walked in and said, "Hasn't it been agreed that we should lower the security of the prisoner camp and let them rescue Chu? Why are you still chasing after him?"

Su Juan said in a deep voice, "If we don't chase him, won't they think that this person was rescued too easily?"

"Besides, the one who came to rescue him was Zhai Mu. He would definitely attack Chu Yang on the way, so he must die."

Xie Xun pursed his lips tightly, very dissatisfied with Su Juan's risky behavior of chasing him last night, but he had to admit that he also wanted to kill Zhai Mu.

Thinking of Qiyou, he died at his hands.

Xie Xun gritted his teeth and decided that if he had the chance, he would kill this man with his own hands.

"bad."

It is most difficult to deal with an old man who plays tricks on others.

Seeing his expression, Su Juan stood up and said, "Zhai Mu was shot by my arrow. He will not survive."

The emperor was seriously ill, and Su Juan was the regent. On the first day after court, he sent a letter to the ministers, saying that Su Juan was old and should marry a husband. This was a matter related to the royal heir and a state affair, so she could not be neglected.

Su Juan smiled and said, "What Yu Qing said is unreasonable. I will take this matter to heart."

The Queen was worried that the Emperor would not be able to hold on, so she ordered Cai Yi to rush to the border immediately and delay summoning the Crown Prince back to the capital.

I watched Su Juan walk out, and was about to order someone to take the medicine away, but out of the corner of my eye I saw the emperor, who had said earlier that he was going to take a rest, walk back.

When it was dawn, Su Juan packed her bags and prepared to leave, and Zhai Mu came to see you off.

It is possible to drink the medicine.

That night, I personally issued an imperial edict, ordering the crown prince to exercise the imperial power, with Duke Ping and the crown prince's teacher Cai Yi assisting him.

Su Juan, who was following the emperor, saw that scene and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The old emperor asked angrily, "How is the border?"

Su Juan said angrily, "Qin He is dead, and the Southern Army has marched forward. I guess Xie Xun will fight against Chu Guang before he returns. With brothers fighting, the Southern Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos."

The old emperor pursed his lips tightly.

Su Juan pretended to force me to drink it back.

The old emperor stared at you for a while, then remained silent for a moment, and coughed twice, "It's only been a short time since I went to the border, and my temper has improved since I came back."

Su Juan was talking, she had a bad temper, so how come she suddenly became less tempered?

The old emperor thinks so. I am the ruler of a country. Only he dares to behave in a big or small way behind my back. Who else dares to be so presumptuous behind my back?

The implication was to advise the old emperor to drink the medicine and not put the princess in a difficult position.

As he said this, he threw the memorial to the eunuch beside him and ordered everyone to leave.

[You just went to the border for a short time, and he's already acting pretentiously after coming back. ]

Su Juan stood up and took the medicine bowl, sat aside, and passed the medicine bowl behind the old emperor, "Drink it."

At the same time, news came from the capital. It was Cai Yi who brought the imperial edict in person, ordering Su Juan to return to the capital immediately. The emperor was ill. He had been drinking medicine since Su Juan left. He fainted a few days later. He drank some medicine before waking up, and then fell into a coma again.

Su Juan smiled with curved lips, "What are we similar to?"

Su Juan sighed, "There really is no such thing as a banquet that never ends in heaven."

You think to yourself, if Shen Ruhui wasn't here, that day would have lasted a long time.

As long as Chu Yang dies, according to the worst-case scenario, the Southern Army is the enemy, and Qin He will march back to the Southern Kingdom. Even if I know how to go back, Shen Ruhui will teach me.

The old emperor then laughed, "That's bad news."

There were two of us when we came here, but we were alone when we left. With Shen Ruhui by my side, it was hard for me to adapt.

The news was secretive, and anyone who dared to spread it was afraid that it would attract our country's covetousness at that time.

I am an old man, I could die at any time, why should I take medicine? Will I suffer after death?

The eunuch beside him advised, "Your Majesty, the princess came back from working day and night and then left the palace. She should take a rest."

Zhai Mu smiled and said, "Be careful on the way back."

The old emperor, who had a stern face just a moment ago, picked up the medicine bowl beside him and drank the medicine in two gulps.

Su Juan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "I have always been confident in my archery skills."

The eunuch was suddenly in a dilemma.

[You can cure him, but can you find someone to cure him? ]

At this time, the old emperor was leaning against the bed, and he had forgotten to read the memorials that had been sent down recently. He coughed while reading.

Xie Xun was slightly stunned, "Are you so confident in yourself?"

On the way back to the capital, Su Juan even dared not take much rest, for fear that if she returned too late, the home she had worked so hard to build for several years would be robbed.

You put the medicine in your hand aside, stood up and walked out.

Su Juan: ""

At that time, the imperial physician brought the medicine and handed it to the eunuch. The old emperor frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, "Drink it or not, take it away."

Su Juan stepped back and took a look, frowning, and walked over in small steps, snatching the memorial from my hand, "Don't bother with it when you're already sick."

It had been less than two days since Cai Yi left the capital and the court was abuzz with discussions.

I should be confused in my heart. Chu Yang is dead, and sooner or later it will not be me who dies.

Zhai Mu patted your shoulder and said, "When you first met him, you thought he was just like you, both reliable, but now he is the same as you."

Next, just wait quietly.

The ministers were surprised. Princess Jinyang had always refused in the past, but she agreed today?

What's more, Qin He returned to the Southern Army camp. Even if Chu Yangzhong was shot dead, Xie Xun should do it himself.

The old emperor took it easy, "My body is not good, even if I take medicine, it's the same."

Eight months passed in a blink of an eye, and the general who was investigating in the rear came back with his men, bringing the bad news of the Confederate Army's advance. However, the border guards were still lax, and the Confederate Army could make a comeback at any time.

Su Juan had already fed the medicine to the old emperor's mouth, but the old emperor still had a stern face. He was unhappy when he smelled the medicine, "I said drink it, so drink it. Hurry up and leave!"

After returning to the capital, Su Juan hurried into the palace without even taking a bath or changing her clothes. She first went to see the Empress, "Grandmother, what did the imperial physician say?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "The imperial physician said that my health has been bad for the past two years. I have been holding on for a long time. I have been busy with government affairs in the past few days. I am afraid that it will take a long time for the disease to attack my heart."

Su Juan's forehead twitched, [He really spoiled me. It's so hard for me to drink medicine. ]

The old emperor glared at Su Juan. "That little girl, after going to the border, learned all kinds of bad things, including some dirty tricks."

When Su Juan was on her way back to the capital, the emperor woke up. However, the news of his serious illness was finally concealed. However, it spread, and the imperial physician stayed in the palace without any slackness.
