Chapter 648 is back
After losing two copies of the iron-making techniques in a row, a sense of panic spread from the heart of Emperor Zhaoheng.
He looked at Xie Jun's tearful face, and without even asking a single question, he suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards the mansion gate.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty..."
The palace servants were shocked and chased after him.
"Return to the palace, return to the palace, return to the palace immediately!"
No one dared to ask more questions and could only drive towards the palace.
Emperor Zhaoheng rushed all the way back to his bedroom, dismissed everyone, and closed the door of the inner hall alone.
After making sure that no one was peeping outside, he came to the dragon bed and pressed a groove at the head of the bed, revealing a secret compartment.
Emperor Zhaoheng took out the cloth bag hidden in the secret compartment, which was the iron-making technique that Prime Minister Zhou had handed over to him.
Seeing that Lian Tieshu was safe and sound, Emperor Zhaoheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, this thing is still there.
He put the things back carefully, but even so he was still worried.
He walked out of the inner hall and said to the people outside: "From today on, no one is allowed to enter my bedroom without my order."
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
Xie Jun watched Emperor Zhaoheng rush in and leave in a hurry with an hungry look.
After making sure that everyone had left, his confidants dispersed all the irrelevant people, leaving only his people in the yard.
“Your Highness, this is the Emperor…” He’s here, so why is he leaving without even saying a word?
Xie Jun slowly stood up from the pit, an uncontrollable sneer on his face.
"It seems that my guess was correct."
"Please explain clearly, Your Highness."
Xie Jun said: "I have never been able to figure out how that old man from the Zhou family escaped unscathed. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion does not seem to have been affected at all. Now it seems that the Zhou family handed over the iron smelting technique they had."
This is exactly what he wants!
"Send a message to the people on the other side of the border and tell them that it's almost time to leave."
"Your Highness is saying that you want to bring the Great Prince back?"
"kindness."
"Isn't this... too risky?" What if the Zhou family finds out...
"Tell them to be careful and bring the person back."
Seeing that Xie Jun had made up his mind, the confidant had no choice but to obey the order.
Emperor Zhaoheng suddenly fell ill, and because it was so sudden, everyone was caught off guard.
After examining him, the imperial physician in the palace said that Emperor Zhaoheng was so angry that the cold evil entered his body.
But after several days of treatment, Emperor Zhaoheng's mental state became worse and worse, and he even started talking nonsense.
The empress stayed up all night serving Emperor Zhaoheng, and even fed him medicine without the help of anyone else.
But even so, Emperor Zhaoheng showed no signs of improvement.
"What should we do? Imperial Physician, what's wrong with the Emperor? Can you cure him?"
Faced with the Queen's accountability, the imperial doctors were also very frightened. Judging from the pulse and symptoms, Emperor Zhaoheng was suffering from internal heat attack. As long as the liver qi was unblocked and the yang qi was replenished, there should be no major problem. How could he have been in a coma until now and could not wake up?
The imperial doctors could only stay up all night thinking about Emperor Zhaoheng's condition and treatment plan.
Finally, after nearly half a month, Emperor Zhaoheng finally woke up!
When Emperor Zhaoheng opened his eyes, he saw the queen whose hair was almost half white.
When the Queen saw Emperor Zhaoheng waking up, she was so excited that she cried.
Now Xie Rui's whereabouts are still unknown. If something happens to Emperor Zhaoheng at this time, will those princes who have been eyeing him covetously let go of such a good opportunity?
Before Xie Rui returned safely, the Queen hoped that Emperor Zhaoheng was alive.
Seeing the Queen's sincere expression, Emperor Zhaoheng was somewhat moved.
"I...what happened?"
The Queen pressed the tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief and choked up, "Your Majesty, you don't know that you caught a fever in the middle of the night after you stayed in the palace. I was so scared."
Emperor Zhaoheng frowned and shook his head. He really had no impression of this matter.
Upon hearing the noise, the imperial physician immediately went into the inner hall to check Emperor Zhaoheng's pulse again. Only after confirming that the emperor's life was not in danger did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"The emperor has been ill for some time and is still very weak. He needs to rest for a while."
The imperial physician gave some more instructions and then left.
Emperor Zhaoheng's expression eased a lot when he saw that the phoenix robe on the empress was wrinkled.
"The Queen hasn't been able to rest well during this period. Go back and rest first. I'm fine. The Queen doesn't need to worry."
The Queen was indeed tired. She had hardly had a good night's sleep since Emperor Zhaoheng fell ill.
"I feel relieved when I see the emperor wake up. I will not disturb the emperor's rest. I will come again tomorrow."
After being ill, Emperor Zhaoheng obviously felt that his body had become much weaker. After everyone left, he signaled the eunuch to help him up from the bed.
"I'm a little hungry. Go and bring me a bowl of vegetarian porridge."
The chief steward did not ask any more questions and obediently left.
As soon as the palace door was closed, Emperor Zhaoheng propped himself up and stood up from the bed, then opened the secret compartment at the head of the bed.
The moment the secret compartment was opened, Emperor Zhaoheng married into the ice cellar!
It’s gone, the last piece of iron smelting technique in his hands is gone!
"Someone, someone, someone!"
On a secluded path outside the palace, a figure fell to the ground, unknown whether he was dead or alive.
After an unknown amount of time, the figure slowly crawled up from the ground.
He looked around in a daze, and when he found that there was no one around, he quickly walked out of the alley and in a blink of an eye saw the imperial palace just around the corner.
The imprisonment experience during this period has almost worn away all his will. Looking at the familiar palace in front of him, Xie Rui has only one thought in his mind, that is to enter the palace. It seems that as long as he enters the palace, he will no longer be in any danger!
Xie Rui ran to the outside of the palace gate as if he had seen a ghost, following the most real thoughts in his mind.
The guards outside the palace gate saw someone rushing towards them aggressively and immediately stepped forward to stop the person.
When the other party came closer, they also recognized Xie Rui.
"The eldest prince?"
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The guards came forward and saluted.
Seeing the rows of guards, Xie Rui's fear was slightly relieved.
"Everyone, get out of the way. I need to go to the palace to report something important to the Emperor."
The guards naturally did not dare to refuse, but no matter who it was, no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace without the emperor's order. They asked Xie Rui to wait for a moment as they needed to go into the palace to report to the emperor.
When he arrived outside the palace gate, Xie Rui was not so scared anymore and didn't mind waiting for a while.
When the guards arrived outside the bedroom, they heard Emperor Zhaoheng's almost uncontrollable roar.
"Someone, someone, someone!"
The people guarding outside the hall did not dare to delay at all and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has something happened?"
