He also changed the wet handkerchief on Emperor Xuan Jing's forehead.
She looked around and saw that the doors and windows were tightly closed, and the whole room was extremely stuffy. She knew that a completely closed room would not be conducive to Emperor Xuan Jing's current recovery, so she asked Wang Fuhai to open the window a little.
Then he asked the palace servants to wipe the floor, tables, chairs and benches in the room with strong white wine.
There is no alcohol available for disinfection now, so it’s better than nothing.
She was so busy that she didn't notice Emperor Xuan Jing on the bed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The fact that Bai Susu went to the Yangxin Palace had a huge impact on the harem. Concubine Hui hated Bai Susu so much that she was a seductive woman who could tempt people!
But at this moment, if Concubine Hui were asked to put everything aside and go to the Yangxin Palace to take care of the emperor, she really did not have the courage to do so.
After all, she still has a child, and she has to protect her He Jia. Now the emperor's life or death is uncertain, and she doesn't know how many people are staring at her He Jia.
Concubine Hui had to sleep with one eye open, for fear that someone would assassinate He Jia. If that happened, the emperor would have no descendants left in the world, and who would inherit the throne would be at the mercy of others.

Cining Palace
When Prince Dun learned that Bai Susu had gone to the Yangxin Palace, his expression changed slightly.
The Queen Mother's brows turned cold, and she glanced at Prince Dun and said quietly, "Shen'er, when you achieve great things, there will be no woman you can't get. Don't lose your composure for a lowly maid."
No one knows a son better than his mother. Although Prince Dun did not express it very obviously, the Queen Mother had already seen Prince Dun's feelings for Bai Susu!
Li Shen marveled at the Queen Mother's sharpness. He was indeed a little moved when he heard the news. He had been coveting Bai Susu's beauty and wanted to take her for himself after Emperor Xuan Jing died.
I didn't expect Bai Susu to be so affectionate and loyal.
He couldn't tell whether he was jealous of Emperor Xuan Jing or dissatisfied with Bai Susu.
He snorted coldly. Since Bai Susu wanted to die, he had nothing to say.
The great cause is about to be accomplished, and at such a critical moment, he can distinguish between what is important and what is not.
He nodded and said, "Mother, I know." He then lowered his head and leaned closer to the Queen Mother, whispering, "Mother, is Li Yuan really doomed?"
Although the Yangxin Palace had blocked the news the moment Emperor Xuan Jing fell ill.
However, because the commander of the imperial guards, Li Che (Prince Bao's name), was not there, the imperial guards were not as strict as an iron barrel.
Any news can still be passed on.
Not to mention, Prince Dun knew whether there were any of his mother's men among the imperial physicians guarding the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
The Queen Mother nodded, a hint of coldness in her eyes, as if she were discussing someone completely unrelated to her: "He has smallpox, what hope is there for him to survive? All we have to do is wait for him to die."
Prince Dun, having received the promise, could hardly contain his excitement and almost stood up straight: "Then...then what about us?"
A glint of cruelty flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes as she spoke, "After Li Yuan's death, the court will undoubtedly be in chaos. Li Che is currently at the border. Even if he gets the news, it will likely be difficult for him to bring back those 20,000 elite troops to protect the emperor. Your uncle still has 3,000 elite troops at his disposal; I'm sure he can stabilize the situation."
She looked at Prince Dun intently and named several ministers: "You should contact them quickly and determine their intentions. If we can bring them all into our lap, it will definitely be helpful to our cause."
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Prince Dun felt that he had secured his throne.
However, when his eyes fell on his right hand, he suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head.
Even if the emperor died, the ministers would not support him as the new emperor!
The Queen Mother saw his face flush with excitement, then fade away completely and turn pale, and she understood his thoughts clearly.
"Why are you acting like this?" She frowned. "If you can't be emperor, why not let your son be? What's the difference between that and you being the emperor?"
From this perspective, the timing of Princess Dun's pregnancy was perfect. Putting pressure on the ministers to make this child the crown prince would be much more pleasant and easier than openly plotting a rebellion.

Prince Dun's Mansion
Bursts of tragic screams were heard from the Jianjia Courtyard where Princess Dun was staying.
The maids all looked panicked, carrying copper basins filled with hot water and running around.
Prince Dun stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the door with burning eyes, his left hand trembling slightly behind his back.
Yuning, I am sorry for what I have done to you.
Inside the room, Princess Dun was in excruciating pain, pulling at the rope hanging from the bed with all her might.
"Ah!! Ah!!" Her face was pale, her body arched in extreme pain, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
The old nanny who served beside her had tears in her eyes. She supported Princess Dun's back with her hands and kept comforting her: "Your Majesty, you have to hold on."
When the prince returned from the palace, he sent a bowl of nourishing soup to Jianjiayuan.
Who knew that the princess would give birth prematurely after drinking it! The princess was only seven months pregnant!
Seeing how difficult the princess's life was, she felt extremely frightened and worried.
The midwife looked at the blood in her hands and trembled constantly. Thinking of what the sinister man had just told her, her heart trembled even more.
She restrained her mind, not daring to think any more. Looking at the weak woman on the couch, she suppressed her reluctance and said, "Princess, please use more strength!"
"ah!!"
The tragic screams pierced Prince Dun's eardrums, but he remained standing still, his upright figure blending into the night.
The moon in the sky was emitting a cold blue light, and every star was like a tearful eye, watching everything that happened on earth.
Li Yuan was seriously ill, and this was the best time for the child to be born. His child must be made the crown prince before Li Yuan died, so that he could be legitimate and shut up the gossips of the world!
It was already late at night, and Princess Dun had been in labor for three hours, but there was still no news of the baby's birth.
Li Shen's eyes and eyebrows revealed impatience, and he was about to send someone in to see what was going on.
After a heart-wrenching cry, there was a weak cry of a child!
He shuddered all over and looked at the maid who came out quickly with burning eyes.
"Reporting to the prince, it's a boy!"
Prince Dun was suddenly filled with great joy. He laughed heartily, with a fiery and crazy light in his eyes.
"Okay, okay! All rewards!"
He walked in quickly. The midwife had already cleaned the child. When he took the small swaddling clothes, Prince Dun was no longer looking at the child. Instead, he seemed to see the supreme throne waving at him.
His hands trembled as he held the swaddling baby. He had a son! The crown prince of the Daqing Dynasty!
"It's terrible! The princess is having a hemorrhage—" The midwife's horrified voice came from inside the house, and Prince Dun was shocked all over.

Hall of Mental Cultivation
In order to take care of Emperor Xuan Jing, Bai Susu stayed by the emperor's side at night.
The emperor still hasn't woken up these past few days, and Bai Susu's heart is getting heavier and heavier. Not to mention that the emperor is unconscious and the medicine can't be fed to him, just think about how weak his body will be if he doesn't eat or drink for a few days?
Not to mention that Emperor Xuan Jing was sick.
Bai Susu was so anxious that she felt like she was being fried in oil, and she cried secretly several times.
