They hastily emptied the palace and the imperial pharmacy, enduring a life of hardship and constant struggle to survive...
She was only concerned with the medical records brought from the Imperial Hospital, searching through her mother's symptoms...
I completely forgot to check the emperor's health beforehand...
But who could have imagined that such a ruthless and hypocritical emperor was already at his last gasp?
More than two months have passed since I was exiled.
The Imperial Medical Academy's original judgment was that, since the emperor's death date was noted in the medical records...
It's a done deal, there's absolutely no chance of it changing.
If the patient survives for more than two months, not only will the original sentence be handed down, but the entire Imperial Medical Academy will likely face a furious repercussions...
Because it allows His Majesty to spend more time in fear and trepidation.
More than two months have passed, and still no news has arrived...
Including the time for mail delivery via the post stations, there's enough time...
There is absolutely no movement at this moment, which can only mean two things:
One possibility is that the emperor has already passed away.
However, the news was kept under wraps because there was no consensus yet on the succession to the throne.
If Xie Zhun is to be dealt with, the new emperor will have a good chance of ascending the throne.
Another possibility is that the internal power struggle within the imperial court was at a stalemate, leaving them with no spare resources to deal with Xie Zhun.
But they understood that no matter who was at a disadvantage, none of them posed as great a threat as Xie Zhun.
Furthermore, according to the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty, a general amnesty was to be granted upon the death of the previous emperor and the ascension of the new emperor...
At that time, Xie Zhun will be a free man, with even more freedom than they can control.
Therefore, while fighting to gain the initiative, they also did not let Xie Zhun go...
An attempt was made to eliminate Xie Zhun before the announcement of the emperor's death...
To prevent future troubles!
In either case, the situation in the capital is bound to be extremely dangerous!
His wicked father, Marquis Dingyuan, was cunning and naturally knew how to protect himself...
However, my maternal grandfather, Prime Minister Shen, was a man of upright character, loyal to the emperor, and did not side with any of the princes...
Regardless of whether the Crown Prince or any other prince gained the upper hand in the capital, my grandfather would never fare well...
In some people's eyes, they might still be a thorn in their side, occupying a high position for nothing...
Thinking of this, Ning Xi'er was filled with remorse...
I had my own doubts; I should have looked at the Emperor's medical records sooner...
The sooner we go, the sooner we can go to the capital and see if she suffers a loss she can't bear...
Seeing her flustered expression, Xie Zhun pulled her to sit down beside him.
Xie Zhun's voice was calm as he reassured her, "Don't worry, there's still a solution!"
Although the people sent out didn't return, at least no bad news came from other routes...
If you're worried, have your cousin go with you tonight to check on things!
They all knew where the destination was.
Ning Xi'er turned her head, and her mind calmed down a little because of his composure.
It seems that even the biggest problems can be solved when you're around him.
Because of this certainty, my heart was no longer filled with panic.
Xie Zhun explained to her, "If I stay here, they won't notice your movements..."
Although it was agreed to be just one night, who knows if something might change...?
If the delay is too long, and this period coincides with the imminent arrival of the new left and right military supervisors...
If the other party were someone like Meng Yi or Sun Zuo, Xie Zhun could still mediate.
At this moment, Ning Xi'er is about to leave...
Wei Xunfang had to admit how much Ning Xi'er's presence ensured Xie Zhun's safety.
Suddenly I heard she was leaving, and that she was taking Zheng Ye with her...
Wei Xunfang's primary concern was Xie Zhun's safety...
After all, including the villagers, there are fewer than a few dozen people who are truly skilled.
Those who can rival their opponents can be counted on two hands.
Among the crowd were many burdened individuals: the elderly Duke and his wife, their first and second wives, and unarmed servants...
When Ning Xi'er was about to leave, Wei Xunfang realized how powerless and ridiculous he had been in trying to persuade her to leave!
It's clearly his precious disciple who is the one being completely protected!
The fact that Ning Xi'er could forgive past grievances and not bring up old grievances is enough to prove her character and temperament.
Wei Xunfang originally wanted to discuss with Ning Xi'er whether they could wait until the person entrusted to Xue Lin arrived before heading to the capital...
But just as he was about to speak, Xie Zhun dissuaded him with a look.
Wei Xunfang could only remain silent, letting Xie Zhun instruct Qin Yuan to summon Zheng Ye back.
It was the time when the exiled prisoners ate their brunch, and Zheng Ye thought he had been called back to get an extra meal...
Hearing Xie Zhun's instructions, I surprisingly didn't get excited.
Rumors of a sudden upheaval in the capital, with the emperor possibly dying, have sparked a riot within the palace...
Soon I will leave this tormenting wasteland and return to the capital city I have been away from for so long...
There wasn't a trace of a smile on Zheng Ye's face.
Those who lead troops into battle will always put the nation and its people before their own personal interests.
Thinking about the chaos that might be about to unfold...
If the news leaks out, it could even ignite the wolfish ambitions of Qi and Jin, allowing them to take advantage of the situation to invade the border...
Thinking of this, Zheng Ye clenched his fist.
Despite his worries, there was nothing he could do.
