The door to the side hall opened, and Zhu Lan, dressed in a green shirt, walked out slowly and appeared in front of everyone.
Behind him was Xiao Yuan holding Yan Ning.
Seeing that Zhu Lan was safe and sound, Qin Yuwei finally let go of her worries, and her eyes became moist.
"Lord Xiao?" Yan Zheng looked at Xiao Yuan in astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xiao Yuan didn't have time to explain anything else, so he asked Yan Zheng to quickly send the imperial physician to see Yan Ning.
Yan Zheng ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and he led his men into the side hall, only to see Ma Yan lying on his back on the ground with his eyes wide open and only slight twitching in his body.
The dagger was stuck in his chest, and warm blood was still flowing out.
Yan Zheng only took one look and knew that he was beyond saving.
…
The turmoil in Qiushan finally subsided, and the ministers were temporarily settled at the foot of the mountain.
In the bedroom of the Queen Mother's Palace on the mountain, Qin Yuwei, Yan Zheng, Xiao Yuan, Zhu Lan and others were waiting for the results of the imperial physician's diagnosis.
After a moment, the doctor put away the box and turned around:
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, His Majesty is fine, he just fainted from excessive shock.
I will prescribe two prescriptions for your majesty."
Qin Yuwei nodded, "Tuo."
The imperial physician walked aside and was about to write when he heard Qin Yuwei's voice:
"Wait a minute, the emperor just moved his finger."
The imperial physician was startled, and rushed over to check, and saw that Yan Ning showed signs of waking up.
So she quickly pressed a few acupoints on his body, and soon, Yan Ning's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Yuan looked the most nervous.
Yan Ning adjusted to the light and his eyes moved slightly.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Qin Yuwei asked softly.
Yan Ning's eyes fell on her face, but his expression showed no reaction, and even looked a little strange.
Qin Yuwei tried to talk to him again, but Yan Ning didn't say a word and his eyes didn't change at all.
"Doctor, what's the answer?"
The imperial physician observed for a moment, his expression somewhat solemn, and did not dare to make any further judgment.
Then several doctors gathered together and discussed for a long time. Finally, an old doctor walked up to Qin Yuwei and bowed:
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is still young and mentally immature. The shocks and misfortunes you have experienced in Qiushan are far beyond the limit of what you can endure at this age.
According to the diagnosis of the Imperial Hospital, Your Majesty should be suffering from a more serious form of soul separation and has lost his memory..."
"Recalling?" Qin Yuwei frowned.
Afterwards, the imperial doctors conducted some exploratory tests on Yan Ning and found that not only did he not remember what happened during the Qiushan Tour, he could not even remember his own name and identity.
In the end, it was the old doctor who found Qin Yuwei, looking anxious:
"Queen Mother, your Majesty's soul-leaving syndrome is particularly severe this time, and he needs to rest and recuperate.
If I experience any more stimulation, I am afraid it will cause more serious injuries.”
Qin Yuwei nodded and said nothing.
Needless to say, Yan Ning is in such a condition that he is definitely unable to handle the affairs of state.
Qin Yuwei was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke:
"You all go out first - Xiao Yuzi stays."
The imperial doctors withdrew in response. Zhu Lan and Qin Yuwei exchanged glances and also left the bedroom.
At this time, apart from Yan Ning who looked sullen, there were only Qin Yuwei and Xiao Yuan in the room.
Qin Yuwei took a deep breath, and before she could speak, Xiao Yuan had already knelt on one knee, saying earnestly:
"Empress Dowager, can you... let me take this child away?"
The Queen Mother had helped him and Xin'er a lot in the past. Xiao Yuan knew that she had probably already guessed Yan Ning's background.
Qin Yuwei looked at him silently.
Xiao Yuan raised his head, his eyes slightly red.
He knew how ridiculous his request was, but he had to grab even a glimmer of hope.
"The late Empress Dowager has passed away, and this is the only bloodline she has left in this world.
The people in the palace are treacherous and murderous at every step. How can a ten-year-old child handle it?
Queen Mother, this child is now suffering from soul-leaving syndrome. He is no longer able to shoulder the responsibilities of the country, let alone survive in the palace.
Please, Queen Mother, show me mercy and allow me to take this child away, so that I can live a simple life like an ordinary citizen..."
Qin Yuwei stared at him for a long time, and finally let out a faint sigh.
"Get up."
Qin Yuwei turned her gaze to Yan Ning with a complicated look in her eyes.
"The emperor is not a bad person, but he has been bewitched by treacherous people over the years and has become too extreme.
I don't mind him being my enemy, but he actually thought of hurting Jing'er... Just for this reason, I can't keep him around.
It may be God's will that you appear at this time."
Xiao Yuan heard that she was willing to give in, and he was delighted and grateful:
