"Yes." Chang'an looked obedient, "Chang'an, I will follow my mother's orders."
With Chang'an's internal strength, he could hear all the conversations in the room clearly.
Something was indeed wrong, and I regretted not bringing the ghost doctor to the palace.
Manager Li brought Chang'an to the Queen Mother and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother is in a rather irritable mood today. You should be more careful with your words."
"Thank you, Master Li."
Changan walked into the hall and saw Taiyi looking tired, with a frown on his face and one hand on his forehead.
He glanced at Manager Li and signaled him not to speak.
So he walked gently to the Queen Mother's side and rubbed her forehead.
"Is it Chang'an?" The Queen spoke, but there seemed to be disgust in her words.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, even the Queen Mother herself was startled.
His eyes looked at Chang'an unexpectedly. Chang'an had a peaceful expression on his face, with a faint smile on his lips, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.
"Grandma Empress..." Changan whispered, "Did Changan offend Grandma Empress in some way?"
"No." The Queen Mother looked at the tearful face and felt pain in her heart. "I don't know why, but I feel so confused today. I keep thinking about saying something to embarrass you, but when I say it, I feel particularly uncomfortable."
Changan still smiled, "Changan doesn't care."
At this moment, Chang'an knew in his heart that perhaps the Queen Mother had also been deceived by the puppet technique, but deep down in her heart, she was still worried about herself and Bei Mingxuan, so she was particularly conflicted.
"Master Li," Chang'an turned and asked, "Has anyone been to Kangshou Palace since he collapsed last night?"
"No." Manager Li thought carefully, "It's just that the Queen came, and no one else has set foot in Kangshou Palace."
"Gu Chang'an, what do you mean?" The Queen Mother blushed slightly. "Master Li is my man. You are so bold as to give Master Li an order."
Although Manager Li didn't say anything, she was still frightened and stood aside cautiously without saying a word.
And he told Chang'an with his eyes to be careful.
"I think it's best for you to marry the Crown Prince." The Queen Mother's voice was icy, like frozen ice chips scratching the ground, making people feel uncomfortable. "It's just your father's will. Born into the royal family, the most important thing is to obey."
"Yes. Chang'an listens to the Empress Dowager and also to the Emperor." Chang'an smiled, looking well-behaved, but deep in her eyes was a deep sense of vigilance and suspicion.
After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Chang'an was certain that the Queen Mother must have been controlled.
After hearing Chang'an's words, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Being obedient is a good thing. Go now. I'm tired."
Chang'an left and signaled with his eyes that Manager Li should follow him out.
"I'll see you off." Manager Li followed behind Chang'an. She had long noticed that something was wrong with the empress dowager. In order to avoid the empress dowager's anger from affecting herself, Manager Li had been walking on thin ice since early morning.
For this reason, in front of the Queen Mother, she did not directly address Chang'an as Princess Xuan.
It was the Queen Mother who suggested that Chang'an enter the Prince's Mansion under the identity of another person.
Chang'an walked out, the corners of her lips raised with a hint of sarcasm. She remembered a saying, "There is always a loophole in a hundred precautions." Change his identity? If he was not Gu Chang'an, he would naturally no longer be the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom.
In this world, only Gu Changan is the daughter of Nangong Qiuya and Gu Qingfeng, and only Gu Changan is the crown prince of the Southern Kingdom.
Obviously, this was something the person who planned it did not expect.
"Princess Xuan." Manager Li said anxiously, "You saw it just now. I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother today. The words she said were clearly hers, but it felt like they weren't meant for her."
"Yes and no." Chang'an seemed to be talking to himself.
"What?" Manager Li didn't understand, "Early in the morning, something seemed amiss with the Queen Mother.
In fact, it was normal when I got up, especially when I heard the emperor announce in the court that the prince would succeed to the throne on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
Later, she learned that after the Emperor had Prince Xuan imprisoned, he spat out blood, and when he woke up, she was different from usual.
"Master Li," Chang'an said, "please be careful these days. If there's anything wrong with the Queen Mother, please inform me immediately."
"Okay." Manager Li agreed, his eyes filled with worry. "But Princess Xuan, how will you cope with this? The Emperor has issued an order, and the Queen Mother's current condition seems to be approved. And Prince Xuan is still in prison."
Chang An glanced around and lowered his voice deliberately, "Queen Dowager, she is being controlled by evil magic.
So, no matter what the Queen Mother says or does, remember not to upset her. You will suffer the consequences later."
"..." Manager Li was shocked. "Who is so bold?"
"I don't know." Chang'an didn't distrust Li Zhanshi, but to protect him. It's better to have less trouble in the palace than more, unless it is absolutely necessary. "Also, Li Zhanshi, please pay attention. Has anyone unusual appeared in the Empress Dowager's palace recently? If you find anything amiss, remember to tell me."
"Then...Princess Xuan, you have to be careful." Manager Li's face was full of worry.
Chang An came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and went directly to the Emperor. Cheng De was guarding the door. "Eunuch Cheng, is my father okay now?"
Cheng De looked at Chang An, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He deliberately said, "Princess Xuan, you are finally here. The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chang'an felt something was amiss and glanced at Chengde discreetly, "Thank you, Eunuch Cheng."
Inside the room, the emperor's face was dark and he was sleeping on the bed.
"What's going on? When did the emperor summon me?"
"I said that on purpose to conceal the truth," Chengde said. "After the Emperor finished his morning court session, the Empress came and cried for a few words before leaving. Then, the Emperor fell into a coma."
Chang'an understood the meaning behind Chengde's words, "Are you suspecting that the Emperor's coma is related to the Empress?"
"It's just a suspicion, not a certainty."
"Why couldn't it be the Crown Prince?" Chang'an said, "Although the Emperor's coma wouldn't help the Crown Prince succeed to the throne, given the Crown Prince's clueless mind, it's possible he did it."
"That's what I thought too," Eunuch Cheng said, "but after the emperor fell into a coma, the eldest prince, the crown prince, and all the other princes came.
However, that anxious look on his face, in my opinion, is not fake. Among all the princes, only the fourth prince Bei Ming Ye has a calm expression.
However, it so happened that after the Queen left, the Emperor fell into a coma."
