"Zhao Chong, order the deputy commander of the Xiaoyu Guard to borrow a thousand guards from the main camp outside the capital. They should rush to the scene of the incident to provide assistance and make every effort to locate General Wu."
No matter how bad Emperor Jianchang's mood was, he was still able to remain calm and deal with the problem.
After bowing to His Majesty, Zhou took the opportunity to leave.
From now on, her family will no longer be qualified to enter the magnificent Great Zhou Palace.
His Majesty was able to forgive her entire family, perhaps out of consideration for Concubine Gao and her son.
Zhou and her family quickly left the palace.
Tao Yuwei, who had chased out from Yuqiong Tower, was shaking with shock after hearing all the news.
[My cousin was ambushed? Is that thing about to happen?]
Tao Yuwei thought about it carefully and her heart tightened.
[I wrote to my grandfather in advance to prepare for the attack, brought reliable personnel, and changed my route, but how could I still be ambushed and my whereabouts remain unknown?]
When Tao Zhihong and Wu heard the news, they exchanged glances.
For some things, their daughters had already prepared in advance, but they still happened. This shows that some things cannot be avoided.
I don’t know what happened to their eldest nephew.
Thinking that their eldest nephew might meet up with their son halfway and come back together, they hid their worries in their hearts.
Tao Yuwei didn't have time to think about her cousin anymore and looked at Emperor Jianchang who had a depressed expression.
[Mother listened to my warning and exchanged cups with the Jade Concubine who had been involved in her scheme. Therefore, the misfortune that befell her was averted.]
[That's great! Gao Cheng'an and Concubine Yu, who harmed my mother, both received their due punishment. My mother will no longer be forced to die in humiliation due to rumors as in the original plot.]
Tao Yuwei saw her father holding her mother's hand in front of some people, with a calm look in his eyes, and the two of them were very affectionate.
She tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips with joy.
My mother is very capable. She brought together the people who harmed her, and was witnessed by His Majesty himself. This series of coincidences seemed seamless, worthy of being a woman who disguised herself as a man and had been to the battlefield.
[Your Majesty has been cuckolded time and time again, yet he hasn't fainted from anger. He's incredibly resilient.]
Tao Yuwei shook her head with a look of regret.
[No matter how favored Concubine Yu seems, it's clear she's never been in the Emperor's heart. Ha, all men are pigs.]
As soon as her thought flashed through her mind, she saw Emperor Jianchang standing there swaying and almost falling down.
Fortunately, the eunuch Zhao Chong standing next to him reacted quickly and supported Emperor Jianchang in time.
"Oh no! Your Majesty's old dizziness has come back. Hurry and call for Cao Youliang, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital."
Zhao Chong shouted anxiously.
His anxious voice happened to be heard by the Eighth Prince Xiao Chengyan and Xiao Lichen who were walking out of the hall.
In order to prevent the news of His Majesty's illness from spreading and causing panic in the court, Empress Gu immediately ordered Emperor Jianchang to be carried to Wenying Palace.
All the people present were asked by Queen Gu to follow her outside the Wenying Palace and wait for news.
Not long after they left, the many ministers and their families in Yuqiong Tower ended their banquet and left the palace under the guidance of the palace servants.
The Northern Barbarians delegation, led by the Minister of Rites and escorted by the Xiaoyu Guards, left the palace and went to rest at an inn specially used to entertain foreign guests.
Cao Youliang, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, accompanied by a young eunuch, hurried into the Wenying Hall carrying a medical box.
A guard pushed Xiao Lichen's wheelchair and stopped at the door of Wenying Hall, waiting for news from inside.
The eighth prince and one of his guards also followed, waiting for news from inside.
Empress Dowager Guo in the harem also heard the news and rushed to Wenying Palace under the leadership of a group of palace maids.
Tao Yuwei stood outside the hall, tiptoeing, looking again and again in the direction of the tightly closed gate of Wenying Hall.
[Just after praising the Emperor for his ability to withstand blows, he fainted. He really can't handle praise.]
[Ah, forget about your Majesty's birthday banquet. The person hiding in the dark and trying to poison him has not been found yet. What should we do?]
Tao Yuwei thought about it and subconsciously turned her gaze to Xiao Lichen.
[The villain is so useless. He can't even do such a small thing. I had to remind him several times.]
Hearing her complaint, Xiao Lichen withdrew his gaze from the Wenying Palace, turned his head, and fell on her face with a calm, unfathomable gaze.
Tao Yuwei quickly turned her head and stopped looking at him.
It was the Eighth Prince, Xiao Chengyan, who walked up to her and asked quietly, "Anle, what happened to our father?"
She was feeling a little depressed. She looked up and saw Xiao Chengyan, who was about the same height as her, looking at her gently.
"How would this princess know? Wait for the news!"
She said this to the other party in a nonchalant manner, and Xiao Chengyan was stunned on the spot.
The rumors are true, Princess Anle has too bad a temper and it is not advisable to have too much contact with her.
Today's plan failed at the last moment. That young Jade Concubine was too useless.
He can't even scheme against others, but he schemed against himself. He ended up losing more than he gained. He will never use such a fool again.
It's not all bad.
There was a cold danger hidden in Xiao Chengyan's gentle eyes.
After one stick of incense.
Imperial physician Cao Youliang finished the acupuncture and removed the silver needles that were stuck in Emperor Jianchang's head.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and His Majesty, are not seriously ill. He is simply dizzy from a momentary bout of impatience."
Cao Youliang wrote another prescription on the spot, and a young eunuch from Wenying Palace was responsible for accompanying Cao Youliang to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.
Empress Dowager Guo and Empress Gu, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, saw that Emperor Jianchang had not yet woken up, so they stayed by his side.
The eunuch who was preparing the medicine didn't keep everyone waiting for long.
He rushed back with the medicine bowl in his hand, sweating profusely.
Seeing the young eunuch enter the Wenying Palace, Tao Yuwei's face suddenly turned pale.
She followed anxiously, and just as she was about to step into Wenying Palace, she was stopped by the eunuch guarding the gate.
"Let me in quickly, otherwise there will be big trouble."
Her anxious face showed emotion, but the eunuchs guarding the gate were unwilling to let her in.
These people are not your Majesty's men, but people brought by Empress Dowager Guo.
After hearing that His Majesty had fainted, Empress Dowager Guo felt that the matter was of great importance. In order to prevent other accidents and leaks of the news, she asked her people to guard the palace door before entering Wenying Palace.
No one except the queen was allowed to enter without her permission.
Xiao Lichen knew that Tao Yuwei would not be so foolish as to break into the emperor's bedroom.
Just now, she must have noticed something wrong.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Eighth Prince's gentle voice behind him.
"Anle, the emperor's condition is unclear right now. How dare you make such a loud noise in front of the palace and disturb his rest?"
When others heard Xiao Chengyan's words of persuasion, they felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
Tao Yuwei felt the danger level was increasing rapidly and her eyelids began to twitch wildly.
