Hearing Su Huiyan's commotion, the people in the room were all startled.
Zong Jiu realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Just now, this servant falsely conveyed an imperial edict, saying that His Majesty had already woken up. If Consort Su had entered the room and found that His Majesty was still not awake, then this old servant would have..."
Falsely conveying an imperial edict is punishable by death!
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Lady Bai quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, there are Imperial Guards blocking the way outside, she won't be able to get in anytime soon. Even if she does get in, we can say that His Majesty just fainted again, there's nothing to be afraid of."
After Bai said that, Zong Jiu's heart gradually calmed down.
Bai then looked at Su Xuening: "Ning'er, do you have any way to wake the Emperor up?"
"I'll give it a try." Su Xuening stared at Xuan Yuanpeng, intending to try it out. She used silver needles to stimulate acupoints to wake Xuan Yuanpeng: "Please ask Headmaster Hang for help."
"Yes." Although Hang Yuqing had not yet witnessed Su Xuening's medical skills, she was already subconsciously following his instructions.
Su Xuening had already started needling acupuncture points. Seeing this, Bai looked at Zong Jiu and said, "Please trouble Eunuch Jiu to go out and stop Su Huiyan. Make sure she doesn't come in easily."
"Yes," Zong Jiu replied and immediately went out.
As soon as Zong Jiu went out, he saw that in addition to Su Huiyan, Xuan Yuan Yu was also there.
The two men, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, were shouting at the Imperial Guards at the gate of Chengqian Palace.
The Imperial Guards were already struggling to cope with Su Huiyan's tantrum, but when Zong Jiu came out, they felt like they had found their pillar of support.
Zong Jiu walked over and bowed to Su Huiyan and Xuan Yuan Yu: "Greetings, Consort Su and Your Highness, Third Prince."
Su Huiyan was furious when she saw Zong Jiu: "You've come at the right time. Didn't you say the Emperor has woken up? The Third Prince and I want to see the Emperor."
Zong Jiu looked helpless: "It's not that this old servant is preventing you from seeing the Emperor, it's just that the Emperor said he only wants to see the Dowager Consort and the Princess Consort, and will not see anyone else."
That's that line again! If Xuan Yuanpeng really said it, it would make Su Huiyan furious!
Xuanyuan Yu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't believe Zong Jiu: "Father, are you really awake?"
Zong Jiu showed no sign of panic, and looked at Xuan Yuan Yu with a serious expression, saying, "Of course I'm awake, otherwise, would Your Highness think this old servant would dare to forge an imperial edict?"
Xuan Yuan Yu's pupils contracted slightly as he stared intently at Zong Jiu's utterly sincere face.
No matter how calm and confident Zong Jiu appeared, he didn't believe him.
Now, he has the mother Gu of the puppet Gu in his father's body, and he can clearly sense that his father should not have woken up yet.
"Whether Father is awake or not, let us go in and find out."
As he spoke, Xuanyuan Yu pushed aside the Imperial Guards and rushed into Chengqian Palace.
Seeing this, the Imperial Guards stopped the man again: "Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter Chengqian Palace. Please do not make things difficult for your subordinates."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu was instantly enraged, glaring at the Imperial Guards and demanding, "Is this the Emperor's order or Zong Jiu's order?!"
This question left the Imperial Guards completely bewildered.
The orders issued by the Ninth Eunuch are always the Emperor's orders, so what difference is there?
Seeing the bewildered Imperial Guards, Xuan Yuan Yu became even more enraged. Pointing at Zong Jiu, he roared, "What a bold servant! How dare you falsely convey the Emperor's decree! Guards, seize this servant!"
Xuanyuan Yu's command once again stunned the Imperial Guards.
It's impossible that the Ninth Eunuch is falsely conveying an imperial edict!
Ninth Eunuch is the Emperor's personal chief steward, the Emperor's most trusted person. How could he possibly forge an imperial edict!
Although it was Xuanyuan Yu who gave the order, the Imperial Guards still didn't dare to move.
No one dares to touch the Ninth Eunuch in Chengqian Palace!
Seeing that the Imperial Guards were completely disobeying his orders, Xuan Yuan Yu became furious and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you all trying to rebel? You don't even listen to my orders?"
The Imperial Guards looked at Xuan Yuan Yu with some difficulty: "Your Highness, please forgive us. Ninth Eunuch did not falsely convey the imperial edict. This is truly His Majesty's will. We dare not disobey the imperial order. Please forgive us, Your Highness!"
Xuanyuan Yu was truly enraged by these idiots: "What order from the Emperor? The Emperor isn't even awake yet, how could he give an order! It's Zong Jiu who forged the imperial edict, and you bunch of fools are still here aiding and abetting the evildoer, you're utterly stupid!"
The Imperial Guards, who had been hesitant and worried when Xuan Yuan Yu asked them questions, instantly lost all their hesitation after being scolded by him.
How could they be so foolish? The Ninth Eunuch's words always represent the Emperor's words. What's wrong with them listening to the Ninth Eunuch?
Zong Jiu was not surprised that Xuan Yuan Yu could not summon the Imperial Guards.
Jin Lu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was personally promoted by the Emperor and was a close confidant of the Emperor.
The Imperial Guards in this palace are all the Emperor's men, so the Third Prince and Consort Su naturally cannot be ordered around.
Therefore, with these Imperial Guards stationed at Chengqian Palace, it was very safe.
Zong Jiu glanced at Xuan Yuan Yu expressionlessly: "Third Prince, please stop making a scene in Chengqian Palace. The Emperor's condition is still unstable. If your quarrel with Consort Su causes further problems for the Emperor, I wonder if you and Consort Su can bear the consequences!"
Zong Jiu's words successfully made Xuan Yuan Yu's face darken.
Su Huiyan was furious: "What a vicious dog! You even dare to threaten me and the Third Prince! Who gave you the guts? Was it that vixen Bai Fuya?"
Seeing that Su Huiyan was not only scolding him, but also the Dowager Consort, his originally calm expression turned somewhat ugly: "This old servant advises Consort Su to watch her words. This is not Huayang Palace, but Chengqian Palace!"
