Chapter 132 Coma
The next day, when Yueli woke up, the morning court session was over.
When Lian Qiao came to serve her, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this morning His Majesty issued an order to depose the Queen."
Yueli paused as she combed her hair. So fast?
"Is there anyone causing trouble in the court?"
Lian Qiao shook her head. "I also heard it from Xiao Dezi. This morning, the Western Jue envoys knelt outside the palace gates and begged Your Majesty for justice. There is witnesses and evidence that the Empress murdered the Saint. Your Majesty, mindful of their long-standing relationship, originally wanted to temporarily imprison the Empress and did not mention deposing her."
"But suddenly, many people in the court reported the Queen's father, General Jiang, for allowing his son to forcibly seize women. Last year, he himself abducted a country girl into his palace. Last month, the girl's parents beat drums at the government gate to protest their injustice. All these things have been exposed."
"His Majesty was furious and dismissed Commander Jiang from his post and ordered his son to be beaten with eighty sticks."
Lian Qiao recounted what she had learned without stopping, "And the Empress. She secretly used tribute from the outer court to subsidize the Jiang family. The ministers were outraged, and His Majesty was forced to immediately depose her."
Yue Li was amazed when she heard this. He Yanchen had indeed plotted against the Queen, but she didn't expect that the Jiang family was so unclean that such a dirty thing would be exposed.
Although the Queen's father holds a high official position, the Jiang family is not a prosperous family. When the late emperor arranged the marriage, he did not pay much attention to He Yanchen, and naturally did not choose a woman with a particularly good family background for him. Now it is much easier to deal with the Jiang family.
He Yanchen didn't come back the whole day. He just sent someone to tell Yueli to enjoy her meal.
He finally arrived in the evening, after Yueli had bathed and changed her clothes.
"Your Majesty, are you so busy today?" Yue Li trotted over when she heard the noise and took his arm.
He Yanchen seemed to be in a good mood and pinched her nose: "I was a bit busy today dealing with Jiang's affairs."
Yue Li asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, won't you reveal the truth?"
He Yanchen paused and looked down at her.
Yue Li pinched the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Will anyone find out that it was Your Majesty who did it? If they were to find out, would it be bad for Your Majesty?"
He Yanchen laughed and led the man to sit on the couch: "You, stop worrying about these weird things."
Yueli snorted, "I am obviously worried about you."
"Everything about the Jiang family is true, and I didn't force them to do it. The Queen's matter was just a prelude. If the Jiang family falls, the ministers in the court will be eager for the Queen to vacate her position."
Yueli groaned, and He Yanchen caressed the soft flesh on the back of her neck, saying softly, "Jiaojiao, don't worry about these. Just follow Nanny Wang and learn how to manage palace affairs."
Yue Li drooped her head when she heard this. He Yanchen tapped her forehead and said, "Don't do everything yourself."
“Be good at using people.”
He Yanchen held her and talked a lot. He was in a very good mood today. The two of them struggled for a long time before a voice calling for water came from the hall.
The night was deep and quiet, with insects chirping and birds sleeping, and the entire Zhuoyu Palace fell into silence.
Yue Li suddenly felt very hot while sleeping. She turned over, but the stuffy air still lingered above her head. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the person beside her in the faint moonlight.
"Your Majesty?" Yue Li felt that his body was very hot. She raised her hand and touched his forehead, which was still very hot.
She woke up from her doze and called He Yanchen several times but there was no response. Frightened, Yueli ran out to call for help.
The originally quiet Zhuoyu Palace suddenly became busy. It happened that Dean Xiao was on duty today, so Ji Ming quickly brought people over.
Yue Li stood anxiously beside the bed: "What's wrong with His Majesty? Is he sick?"
Judge Xiao frowned and after carefully feeling the pulse, he said, "Your Majesty has a slight fever, but the pulse doesn't show anything serious, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Judge Xiao said, "Your Majesty has always been in good health, and the poison has been eradicated. He just has a fever and shouldn't faint..."
"Don't worry, ma'am. Just wait and see for one night. He might wake up early this morning."
Yue Li sat palely beside the bed and looked at He Yanchen. No matter in her past life or present life, except when the poison took effect, she had never seen He Yanchen sick.
She wiped the man's forehead with a handkerchief and felt that his whole body was hot, and even his breath was burning.
Yueli didn't sleep all night, but He Yanchen still didn't wake up.
Fortunately, it is a day off today, otherwise the court would have to find an excuse to conceal this matter.
"Why hasn't His Majesty woken up yet?" Yue Li was anxious. In addition to Xiao Yuanpan, several other imperial physicians also came to take his pulse and came to the same conclusion.
He Yanchen only had a slight fever, and it was impossible for him to be unconscious for so long. Even after taking the medicine, there was no improvement.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
Seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, He Yanchen had been sleeping for almost a whole day. If he didn't wake up tomorrow, someone in the court would become suspicious.
To be on the safe side, Chu Yi went to the Wei Mansion to inform Wei Chengdong.
Yue Li sat on the edge of the bed and cried. She grabbed He Yanchen's hand and placed it on the side of her face, muttering to herself in grievance: "Your Majesty is a liar..."
"You clearly said that you would stay with me forever, why haven't you woken up yet?"
The only sound in the hall was her low sobs. At this moment, Ji Ming hurried in: "Your Majesty, the abbot of the ancestral temple wishes to see you."
"See me?" Yue Li frowned and said impatiently, "Why would he see me? His Majesty is not well yet, I am not in the mood to see him."
"Your Majesty, the abbot somehow knew about His Majesty's illness." Ji Ming lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, please go see him. Perhaps he can help."
Yueli was stunned, and suddenly remembered that at the beginning of the year, He Yanchen came back from the ancestral temple and remembered things from his previous life.
She stood up hurriedly: "Bring him here quickly."
Soon, Ji Ming led the person into the hall.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Yueli asked directly, "How did you know His Majesty was ill?"
The abbot looked very old, but his eyes were bright and there was no trace of confusion in them.
He glanced at the man on the bed, bowed to Yue Li and said, "Your Majesty is not ill, but is influenced by the people around you."
Yueli stood there stiffly, as if she saw something in the abbot's eyes.
"All of you get out."
The moment the palace door closed, Yue Li asked, "What do you mean by that? What... did you know?"
"My Lady, humans are reincarnated, and with each reincarnation, we should forget our past. If we bring memories from another world into this life and affect the fate of those around us, it would be against the will of Heaven."
Yueli felt a chill on her back, and she pinched her palms tightly with her fingertips, but found that she couldn't say a word.
The abbot actually knew it.
No wonder... No wonder he could remind He Yanchen of the past.
Did she influence He Yanchen?
After a long while, Yue Li finally found her voice: "Then...what should we do? I don't want His Majesty to get hurt!"
The abbot looked at her and said, "Your Majesty and the Empress have a deep bond, but love is the most painful thing. Everything in the world has its destiny. If Your Majesty wants to be safe in this life, you must forget love and sever the ties of love in the next life."
