Chapter 264 Things are changing!
Eunuch Fushun staggered out and stood behind the Crown Princess with his hands hanging down and bent over.
Imperial Physician Liu said a lot, but his mind was in a mess and he didn't hear clearly. Only the last four words "stroke and apoplectic syndrome" popped into his mind, which made him feel like he was struck by lightning and he froze in place.
The Crown Princess's eyes and eyebrows were filled with panic, and she asked urgently, "Imperial Physician Liu, is there any hope that my father will recover from this illness?"
Imperial Physician Liu looked pale, and after calming down, he replied:
"Replying to the Crown Princess, the emperor's stroke is severe. We will do our best to save him, but it is difficult to predict his prognosis."
"The emperor is now physically immobile and unable to speak. I am afraid that this situation cannot be concealed until tomorrow morning."
"I am terrified. I ask the Crown Princess to quickly summon the important officials of the court to the palace to discuss countermeasures in order to ensure the safety of the country and stabilize the foundation of the country."
Imperial Physician Liu said this in a subtle way, but he did mention summoning important officials in the court, which shows that Emperor Sheng’s illness... cannot be cured.
Eunuch Fushun naturally understood the implication of Imperial Physician Liu's words. His legs immediately went weak and he fell to the ground, his face as pale as death.
The Crown Princess was also in turmoil.
Having heard Mrs. Jiang's meaningful hint on the palace road before, she followed the trend and it was indeed thrilling.
Although I knew from the beginning that today's move might determine the fate of the world, when it actually happened, it felt so... unreal.
Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu was waiting for her reply, the Crown Princess forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, raised her head slightly, and took a deep breath.
In an instant, the weakness on her face was covered with determination.
"Eunuch Fushun."
Eunuch Fushun looked up blankly, and saw the Crown Princess's face showing unquestionable majesty, and she said in a deep voice:
"In order to protect the country and stabilize the foundation of the nation, please work with me to draft an edict for my father and summon important officials to the palace immediately!"
Eunuch Fushun shuddered all over. At that moment, he vaguely saw from the Crown Princess the calmness and decisiveness of a model mother of the country.
.......
Then, decrees were issued from the imperial study.
Shen Zhengsheng, Lu Yongzhu and Censor Zhang Xian were all invited to the side hall.
While waiting for the ministers to enter the palace, Zhao Yuanye stayed by Emperor Sheng's side all the time, but the Crown Princess summoned Shen Jiasui alone at this time.
Just now, the eunuchs were summoned into the palace and left in a hurry, which made Shen Jiasui smell something unusual.
She quickly walked into the hall and immediately saw a solitary figure in the hall. Just as she was about to kneel down to salute, the Crown Princess came forward and supported her.
"Mrs. Jiang, please don't be polite."
Shen Jiasui raised her head and saw a special light flashing in the Crown Princess' eyes in the candlelight, and she nodded heavily at her.
Shen Jiasui's heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, indescribable joy and shock emanated from her brows.
The Crown Princess pulled Shen Jiasui over, led her to the table, and they sat down on the same side.
Then, almost in a whisper, she told Shen Jiasui everything that had just happened in the hall, and finally added:
"Madam Jiang, I have summoned important officials from the court to the palace."
Shen Jiasui's heart was in turmoil when he heard this, but he was excited for only a moment before he slowly calmed down.
Because she knew in her heart that everything was far from settled.
So she restrained her expression, turned her head to look at the Crown Princess, and whispered, "Crown Princess, do you want to ask whether you want to summon my husband?"
While waiting outside just now, Shen Jiasui did not dare to leave without permission. Firstly, the Crown Princess was in danger, and secondly, the palace was strictly guarded, and he could not be rude and reckless at this time, which would cause trouble.
But her heart was in turmoil. When she thought about her teacher's uncertain life or death and the despair that Ah Xun was in, she felt as if she was being broken in two.
Thank God, not long ago, Imperial Physician Zhang, who was taken away by Axun, returned and brought her great news at Axun's request:
The teacher is out of danger and his life is not in danger for the time being.
A Xun did not come back to deal with the mess in the Imperial Study by herself, but chose to stay by her teacher's side. She was originally still uneasy, but after learning about Emperor Sheng's illness, she instantly understood what was going on.
A Xun, you must not appear in front of the emperor!
The Crown Princess nodded to Shen Jiasui. She also had her own considerations.
There is no doubt about Lord Jiang's feelings for Ye'er and his friendship with Aji. If the position of crown prince can be settled today, she hopes that Lord Jiang will be the one entrusted with government affairs.
In this way, with the help of Lord Jiang, Ye'er will definitely grow up as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, they and their son have been able to get to where they are today thanks to the help of Mr. Lin, Lord Jiang, and Madam Jiang.
If you give me a peach, I will give you a plum in return.
She hoped to make Mrs. Jiang understand that she and Ye'er were extremely grateful and would never forget today's friendship. They also trusted Lord Jiang very much and wanted him to be the prince's mentor and the future emperor's mentor!
Shen Jiasui saw the Crown Princess's intentions from her gentle eyes and eyebrows, and immediately showed gratitude, but still shook his head slightly.
The emperor's fear of A Xun is even deeper than the Crown Princess imagined, which can be seen from the witchcraft case.
Once A Xun appears, even if the emperor can only move his eyeballs, he will probably put A Xun to death before appointing a crown prince.
If the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Grandson disobey the Emperor's will, I am afraid that another accident will happen in front of all the ministers.
But as long as Axun is not here...
Shen Jiasui's eyes flashed, and he immediately leaned close to the Crown Princess' ear and began to speak in detail.
The Crown Princess' eyes flickered when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly. Finally, she straightened her upper body and whispered, "In this case, Master Jiang will be wronged."
Shen Jiasui immediately shook his head, took the Crown Princess's hand, and said sincerely:
"The overall situation is certain, everything is going well, Crown Princess...you are the one who has been working the hardest."
When the Crown Princess met Shen Jiasui's bright and clear eyes, her heart gradually warmed up. She suddenly raised her lips, and the tension and anxiety on her face seemed to be removed in an instant.
"Mrs. Jiang, it is really a blessing for Mr. Jiang to marry you."
Shen Jiasui was slightly startled when she heard this, then she grinned and said softly, "It is truly a blessing for me and my husband to meet a wise master."
Having said this, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
.......
On an August night, with the moonlight shining on the towering palace walls, it should have been peaceful and harmonious.
But at this moment, as the carriages of the important court officials arrived one after another and met here, a tense and depressing atmosphere quietly spread at the palace gate.
When they heard the emperor's urgent summons at home, they were already filled with anxiety, and originally guessed that it was related to the siege on the Shen and Lu families during the day.
But at this moment, seeing that all their colleagues were summoned, they were stunned at first, then surprise flashed in their eyes, and their bodies stiffened unconsciously.
Those present were either important cabinet officials or important military and political officials, even... Prince Rong was among them!
Looking at this scene, everyone was a smart person and had vaguely guessed something, and their faces changed drastically.
Next, everyone just nodded hastily but did not dare to say a word more, for fear of causing trouble for no reason. Then, they all hurried towards the direction of the imperial study.
Prince Rong was of noble status and walked at the front of everyone.
He had not set foot on this palace road for a long time. At this moment, his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and his eyes flashed with anxiety.
Did they...really succeed?
If possible, he must lend a helping hand tonight no matter what!
As long as Zhang'er can return from the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible and the family can be reunited, he has nothing else to ask for.
Ta-ta-ta——
The hem of her clothes swayed rapidly with her hurried steps, and the sound of her footsteps echoed in the empty palace road, each one seeming to strike heavily on everyone's heart.
They all had a clear understanding in their hearts.
After tonight, the Great Sheng Dynasty might be...going to "change"!
