It should be Gongyi Qingjun or Gongyi Qingshu.
He is only in his forties now, but he is like a candle in the wind, and his time is running out. Now he is still alive, entirely thanks to the doctors in the palace who use various expensive medicines to keep him alive.
Now it is almost time for it to go out.
"Reporting to the princess, let me know about His Majesty's condition." The leading medical worker shook his head despite the pressure from above.
Just as she had replied to the princess before, His Majesty had suffered a 'hidden injury' on the battlefield and had been in poor health. What he needed most was rest, but with her status, how could she possibly rest?
In addition, Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs day and night over the years, and your health has suffered a lot.
Catching a cold in the autumn was just a trigger. Your Majesty's body was already on the verge of collapse, and being sick was just the last feather that broke him.
They tried their best but only managed to delay His Majesty for three months, and now there is nothing they can do.
Standing beside the bed was a young female emperor. After listening to the doctors' words, she did not make things difficult for them. Looking at Empress Zhaowu lying on the bed, her usually kind and gentle face had been tortured by illness and had lost its former appearance.
There was no expression on her face. If someone who didn't know her saw it, they would definitely think that she was dissatisfied with the empress. Now that the empress was terminally ill and the supreme position was within her reach, her true face was revealed.
But in fact, everyone who knows the princess knows that she was born like this and cannot make any expression on her face.
There was no expression on her face at this time, but her eyes were visibly red. Looking at the old man in front of her who had little consciousness, she was really sad. Everything was obviously getting better, why did it happen so suddenly?
Gongyi Qingshu felt something cold on his hands while he was half conscious. He wanted to say "don't cry", but he couldn't make a sound and soon his consciousness fell into chaos again.
At night, the rest of the palace was pitch black, only the Zhaowu Hall was brightly lit.
The princess has been kneeling in front of the bed, with a group of ministers kneeling below her. If you look closely, you can find that they are all female generals who conquered the world with Empress Zhaowu decades ago.
Not a single one was missing. They never expected that the first person to leave among their group would be their Majesty.
Only the few people kneeling in the front were in an even sadder mood. When they received the news and packed up to go into the palace, they had only one thought in their minds: this day has finally come.
Now they have come to see their old friend off for the last time. This is probably why the princess asked them to come.
There was a sudden movement above, and the princess rushed to his bedside immediately.
"Mother."
Gongyi Qingshu heard a trembling voice calling from beside his ear and turned his head to look at the source of the voice. It was the princess he had chosen and carefully trained.
Because he had the help of several generals, no one discovered that he had replaced his sister's identity at the beginning. Later, as he gained experience, it became even more difficult for people to detect him.
There were rumors outside that he had health problems due to his early military campaigns, which was why he had been refusing proposals to be selected as a concubine by the court officials. Of course, without his approval, this matter would never have been spread.
Firstly, he was now wearing the face of the elder sister, but his body was that of a real husband. It was impossible for him to make another husband pregnant, and once someone got close to him, the variables would be too great.
The second piece of news was correct. His body had been weak since birth. It was impossible for him to find a female monarch to have children, and he could feel that his body was getting weaker day by day.
The doctors couldn't tell either, so they just prescribed some medicine to warm him up, and then proceeded to tell him to take care of himself and get some rest.
In his opinion, the problem of offspring was easy to solve. He just needed to find one in the clan to train. So he brought back A Zi, a female lord who was not liked by her family because of her facial defects.
The stubborn little princess is now a qualified emperor. Gongyi Qingshu is relieved and at ease.
The princess quickly wiped the tears from her face and moved closer.
"Don't cry, A Zi, I'm just going to see her." Gongyi Qingshu raised his hand to wipe away the tears on one side of the princess. When he was about to wipe the other side, his hand dropped down weakly.
"Mother!" The princess' voice suddenly became sharp.
In panic, she met Gongyi Qingshu's face with a faint smile, and wiped away the tears from her face embarrassedly.
"Azi, you are now capable of standing on your own, and I can safely hand over the dynasty to you." Gongyi Qingshu looked at the heir he had chosen with satisfaction. He must have lived up to his sister's trust.
"One last thing. After I die, you must bury me in the Showa Wuling Mausoleum." Buried next to my sister.
The princess choked up and nodded, "I understand, I understand."
After hearing her answer, Gongyi Qingshu closed his eyes contentedly.
There were bursts of faint cries in the hall.
Gongyi Qingshu felt that his soul had left his body, and then he felt a pulling force and his consciousness began to fall.
He panicked for a while at first, then he realized that he was already dead and there was nothing to be afraid of. As he fell, time seemed to be stretched out.
Feeling the sense of weightlessness, he was still in the mood to make fun of himself. He thought that because of his deeds in life, he would be able to go to heaven after death, but in the end he went to hell.
It turns out that the legend of reincarnation in the underworld is true. I wonder if I can see my sister in the underworld. He began to look forward to the end, and then his eyes went dark.
When he regained consciousness, he immediately realized that something was wrong. His body felt so heavy and he could hear several people talking. Why were there people talking? One of the voices seemed very familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember it for a moment.
Unable to resist the overwhelming feeling of weakness, he passed out.
Song Sanniang took off the scarf on Gongyi Qingshu's forehead with some concern and replaced it with another one.
"Xiao Shu's illness this time is very strange." Gongyi Qingjun waved away the medical staff and sat down beside the bed.
Song Sanniang looked at Gongyi Qingshu, who was becoming increasingly haggard, with concern, and sighed, feeling very confused.
The autumn rain a few days ago brought a sudden drop in temperature. Gongyi Qingshu was not prepared at the time and got caught in the rain. After returning, he immediately took a bath with mugwort, but still had a high fever at night.
She thought it was just a common cold, but the next day the high fever persisted and he was unconscious. She immediately sent someone to the palace to ask a doctor to see him, but he had no idea what the specific cause of Wang Qing's coma was.
Gongyi Qingjun heard about it and went to the Duke's Mansion in the afternoon to check on his brother's condition. He asked the doctor guarding the door, but did not get any useful information.
Gongyi Qingjun patted the two children's shoulders and walked to the bed.
My brother was still full of energy a few days ago, but when I saw him again today, he was pale and his body was weak due to the continuous torture of high fever.
"Sanniang, how is Xiaoshu doing?"
Song Sanniang shook her head. She had already thought of a solution before asking a doctor.
First, she spent her points to exchange for a rejuvenation pill, cut off a small portion of it and turned it into water to feed Gongyi Qingshu. Seeing that there was no effect, she went to ask 108 because she felt something was wrong.
