Chapter 572 I am afraid that he will be buried alive

with the emperor. The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to ask about the morning court, but he was horrified to find that he was just opening his mouth in vain and could not make any sound!

Zhao Chengye also frowned and asked Doctor Yu: "Doctor Yu, what's going on?"

Doctor Yu explained: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This is because the emperor was stimulated and just woke up after fainting. He hasn't recovered for a while. He will recover after a while."

If the emperor woke up naturally, there would be no such problem. But now the emperor was awakened by silver needles, and his body couldn't keep up. It's not surprising that this happened.

The emperor seemed to be worried after hearing this. He stared at Doctor Yu with wide eyes. He could only make one or two hoarse "ah ah" sounds from his throat. It was difficult for him to speak, let alone utter a word.

Zhao Chengye advised: "Father, don't worry. Doctor Yu said that this is only temporary. Father needs to calm down. The more anxious you are, the slower you will recover, and the worse it is for your body. Father is the true dragon emperor. God bless you. He will definitely get better."

Doctor Yu also advised from the side. The emperor's breathing slowly stabilized and he closed his eyes as if tired.

"As for what happened in the morning court, I and the ministers have already discussed how to deal with it. I have also ordered people to do it. We are just waiting for the final result."

The emperor opened his eyes again after hearing this, and his emotions were surging in his eyes. He tried desperately to hint to Zhao Chengye with his eyes.

Zhao Chengye just pretended that he could not see anything. "Father, please rest and recuperate first. I and the ministers of the court are waiting for you."

The emperor took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes.

The queen and the prince walked out, and Doctor Yu followed closely.

When they saw the three people coming out, the people waiting outside stood up, looking nervous.

The Queen said, "The Emperor has woken up, but what he needs most right now is rest and recuperation. Don't disturb him unless it's important. As for the rest, let Doctor Yu tell you!" What else

could Doctor Yu say? Of course, he said that the Emperor's problem was not serious, and he would recover as long as he rested for a period of time. Whether

everyone believed it or not was another matter.

In short, after hearing these words, which were conveyed by the Emperor's most trusted eunuch, even if they had some ulterior motives in their hearts, they had to suppress them in front of the Queen and the Prince.

Everyone said goodbye one after another.

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, the queen looked at Zhao Chengye and said, "You should go back to the East Palace first. The Crown Princess is getting worse and worse, and nothing can go wrong. I will take good care of the emperor here."

Zhao Chengye didn't say much, but bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

The queen waved her hand to let him go, and turned around and went back to the emperor's bedroom.

As for the other concubines who rushed over, they all went back. Some were dissatisfied, and some complained about the queen's dictatorship.

Only Concubine Zhang had a calm expression.

"Why doesn't Concubine Zhang seem to worry about the emperor at all? It's a pity that the emperor usually dotes on Concubine Zhang so much!"

Concubine Zhang was about to leave, but she paused when she heard this, and spoke with a squint.

Well, she can be considered a newcomer. The emperor probably knows that he is old and useless, so he has not selected any concubines in the past two years. The one in front of me can be considered as a relatively favored one. At least she can be given a night occasionally, unlike some concubines, who are like widows.

"Why, your eyes are so sharp that you can see through my heart at a glance? I am not a big shot. I have to cry and whine to prove my worry about the emperor."

As he said this, he scanned the concubine who was speaking with contempt and criticism, "I see that you don't show that you are worried about the emperor. Are you laughing in your heart?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The concubine was excited, "I'm not! I hope the emperor will always be healthy and live a long life!"

Concubine Zhang sneered, too lazy to get entangled with her in these meaningless issues, and walked away arrogantly holding the hand of the palace maid. The little concubine behind her was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she didn't dare to really offend Concubine Zhang.

Everyone knows that Concubine Zhang doesn't even care about the queen, and she is still favored. No one knows what the emperor is like. Even if the emperor really... she is also a noble concubine. How can a little noble like her dare to offend her

? She just got hot-headed and a little jealous, so she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. After

being persuaded by the palace maids around her, she was a little scared and left in a hurry, fearing that Concubine Zhang would settle the score with her.

Concubine Zhang certainly couldn't be worried about the emperor. She even wanted to take his life while he was sick!

It's a pity that it's too difficult to implement and the success rate is very low. And there's an 80% chance that she will have to die afterwards, which is not acceptable. She doesn't want to lose her life because of this bastard.

As for what would happen to her, a noble concubine without children, if the emperor died... Concubine Zhang was not worried at all. At worst, she could go to some royal temple, which was just a change of place to live.

Besides, Xu Muhua would at least be able to get a concubine position in the future. They were friends, and she would not just watch her suffer.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhang immediately asked Xu Muhua to come over and test her first: "The emperor's health is getting worse and worse. It seems that the prince will ascend the throne soon."

Xu Muhua glanced at Concubine Zhang, "Your Majesty, the emperor will definitely be blessed with great fortune!"

"Oh, really?"

Concubine Zhang suddenly sighed, "It is said that this palace has been favored for many years. Once the emperor is gone, this palace has no children, I am afraid I will be buried alive with him." Xu Muhua's

mouth twitched, and she reminded: "Your Majesty, the bad habit of burying living people with the emperor has been abolished for a long time. There is no such example in the history of Dayong."

There were some in the previous dynasty, but in the previous dynasty, this bad habit was banned by the then founding emperor. Dayong also adopted this law and banned the burial of living people.

Concubine Zhang looked at her and said, "Even if you are lucky enough not to be buried alive with the emperor, I have no children, so I will be sent to the royal temple, where I will live the rest of my life in misery under the guidance of ancient Buddhas and green lanterns."

Xu Muhua fell silent.

Why did she feel that Concubine Zhang was testing something?

After thinking for a while, she said, "If your majesty doesn't want to go, no one will force you to go."

The empress is not such a person, and the prince is not such a person either. Although Concubine Zhang is arrogant and domineering in the palace, and even looks down on the empress, she has never actually done anything against the empress.

The empress is kind-hearted, and Concubine Zhang's family is still there, so she shouldn't be sent to the temple to live a hard life. After all, she is the favorite concubine of the late emperor.

Concubine Zhang did not say anything.

After a pause, Xu Muhua said, "If the queen has other ideas, please speak up."

To be honest, Concubine Zhang is also quite pitiful. She was used by her family and sent to the palace. She indirectly killed her cousin who had a good relationship with her. She served the emperor for so many years with hatred.
