Chapter 263: The Wheel of Destiny
Imperial study.
Emperor Sheng had just woken up from the chaos, his consciousness flickering like a candle flame, and he had not yet come to his senses.
Just then, a familiar voice came into my ears, filling me with joy.
Emperor Sheng looked away with great effort, and only after a moment did he see the Crown Princess's face, which was crying with joy.
His mind was scattered, and the first thought that came to his mind was: Why is Ji'er's daughter-in-law here?
At this time, Nanny Zhu, who was standing by, received a signal from the Crown Princess and hurriedly shouted the good news that the Emperor had regained consciousness.
Beside Zhao Yuanye, Eunuch Fushun and other imperial doctors were rushing to the palace. Upon hearing the call, a hint of joy appeared on their faces, and they hurried in with quicker steps.
Zhao Yuanye rushed into the hall anxiously. His eyes first quickly swept over his mother, as fast as a dragonfly skimming the water, and moved away in an instant.
The Crown Princess was standing beside Emperor Sheng's bed, and seemed to be wiping away tears. Her back was turned to everyone, and her expression could not be seen.
Zhao Yuanye was a child after all, and he didn't need to follow the rules like adults all the time. He immediately rushed to the bedside.
"Grandpa Emperor, you're awake!"
He spoke in a trembling voice, his little nose turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and his face was full of panic and fear.
Such true feelings made eunuch Fushun, who followed behind, immediately have tears in his eyes.
He knelt beside the couch, sobbing, tears welling up in his eyes, and muttered:
"Your Majesty, you are awake now. I am relieved. Your Majesty, may you be blessed with great fortune, great fortune!"
The imperial doctors gathered forward and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Emperor Sheng had indeed woken up.
But after they exchanged glances, they seemed to still have hidden worries in their hearts and did not dare to be happy.
When Emperor Sheng saw Zhao Yuanye calling him repeatedly with tears on his little face, he suddenly felt pity for him.
He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch Zhao Yuanye's head, but his right hand at his side only trembled slightly, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
At this moment, the scenes before he fainted surged into his mind like a tide.
Emperor Sheng suddenly thought of Zhao Huailang, whose heart meridian was damaged, and the imperial teacher who committed suicide and whose life or death was uncertain.
At this moment, I am anxious again!
Emperor Sheng was eager to ask what had happened to the two of them, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he was surprised to find that his tongue seemed to be entangled by something, numb and out of control.
He tried to use more force, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a tangled mess, and the "cocky" he wanted to say only turned into a vague "uh uh" sound.
Emperor Sheng slowly opened his eyes and tried to open his mouth wider, but his jaw moved a little with difficulty, as if it was locked.
At this moment, he had difficulty uttering even simple syllables, let alone complete sentences.
Emperor Sheng was secretly frightened, and raised his hand with all his strength, trying to touch Zhao Yuanye who was so close to him.
But no matter how hard he tried, his arms seemed to be nailed to the couch and he could not move at all.
After several attempts, Emperor Sheng finally felt an indescribable panic.
He opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief and panic, and tried his best to sit up.
Due to excessive force, veins on his forehead bulged and throbbed, and his face turned red.
Under the flickering candlelight, Emperor Sheng's originally dignified and peaceful face suddenly twisted and became hideous and terrifying.
Zhao Yuanye was shocked when he saw this horrifying scene, and his voice was obviously trembling with fear:
"Grandpa Huang, you...what's wrong with you?"
“Uh….Uh uh uh!”
An indistinct sound came from Emperor Sheng's throat, the tone was excited and chaotic.
Eunuch Fushun immediately realized something was wrong, and his joy turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty!"
The imperial doctors immediately stepped forward, and when they saw Emperor Sheng's appearance, the glimmer of hope that remained in their hearts instantly disappeared without a trace.
Ever since they heard that the emperor had fainted twice in succession, they have been secretly worried.
When His Majesty was struck by rage for the first time, he should have rested and recuperated to recover his strength, but unexpectedly, misfortunes never come singly and he fainted for the second time.
Now the emperor is lying stiffly on the imperial bed, unable to speak and unable to use his body. With such a severe emergency, I am afraid...
When the imperial doctors came forward, the Crown Princess gently pulled Zhao Yuanye behind her.
The mother and son slowly stepped back a few steps and stared quietly at the people busying around in front of the imperial bed.
The "uh uh" sounds that kept coming out of Emperor Sheng's throat echoed in the empty hall. Every sound was pleasing to the ears and struck the Crown Princess' heart again and again.
It's done...
She knew, it worked!
The Crown Princess pursed her lips slightly. She should have felt happy, but at this moment she couldn't feel happy at all. Instead, her face turned pale.
The same night, the same busy imperial physician, the flickering candlelight, the dull and suffocating atmosphere.
The tragic scene that she dared not think about again appeared so clearly before her this time.
Her A Ji, too, was surrounded by this group of imperial doctors, and his life was like a candle in the wind, gradually extinguishing.
The blood that was spat out mouthful after mouthful was like beautiful red plum blossoms blooming wildly on the bed, dripping onto the ground and soaking her embroidered shoes.
The glaring red was like thousands of sharp arrows piercing her heart.
Little Ye'er lay in her arms, crying loudly, which became the only sound in her ears that night.
At this moment, fate has changed, and the "executioner" from that year is lying on the couch in panic and despair.
She did it herself.
The Crown Princess suddenly felt her eyes sore and tears rolled down her cheeks.
At this moment, a warm and soft little hand quietly reached into her wide sleeves and tightly grasped her cold fingertips.
The Crown Princess lowered her eyes slightly, and what came into her sight was Zhao Yuanye’s little face looking up. Even though he was so young, there was already a hint of sadness between his brows.
As if he saw the tears on the Crown Princess's face, Zhao Yuanye clenched his little hands even tighter, as if he wanted to pass all the warmth and strength to his mother and become her support.
The Crown Princess felt a surge of warmth and pain in her heart, and she immediately leaned over and stood next to Zhao Yuanye.
In this dangerous inner palace, day after day, the mother and son were always extremely cautious, as if they were facing the abyss.
In such a turbulent power struggle, they, mother and son, are just a solitary boat, so small, but fortunately strong enough.
As long as Jiang Xun, Shen Jiasui, Lin Lao and others can become a protective canopy, help block some of the wind and rain, and point out a way forward, they and their son will move forward tenaciously, try their best and live up to expectations.
"Crown Princess, this humble official..."
At this time, Imperial Physician Liu turned around from the crowd of imperial doctors, his face full of embarrassment, and cast his gaze towards the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess' heart suddenly tightened upon seeing this, and she gently let go of Zhao Yuanye's hand. Then she straightened her back, behaved gracefully, and in an instant she became the extremely noble Crown Princess again.
At this moment, she is the only person in charge in the hall!
The Crown Princess gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, her expression solemn but calm, "Imperial Doctor Liu, you can say whatever you want."
Imperial Physician Liu turned around and walked quickly forward. He couldn't help but look back at the chaos behind him. He couldn't help but sigh slightly and said respectfully:
"Please move aside, Princess, so that I can report to you in detail."
The Crown Princess nodded slightly in agreement. Just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to suddenly think of something and turned back to say:
"Eunuch Fushun, come and listen together."
