Zhao Yan bowed with tears in her eyes.
Qin Yu quickly helped her up.
"My beloved concubine, you're being too polite. If you truly wish to thank me, you should..."
Qin Yu chuckled, his hand already slipping restlessly towards Zhao Yan's clothes.
However, Zhao Yan reacted very quickly and immediately stepped back.
"Your Majesty, even if you are dissatisfied today, I will not let you touch me. I must wait until you have recovered."
Zhao Yan crossed her arms over her chest and let out a soft hum.
Seeing her insistence, Qin Yu felt quite helpless.
"Alright, alright, I'll do as my beloved consort says."
Qin Yu nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Yan and Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since we can't do that, why don't we plant these chrysanthemums instead?"
Qin Yu had finally found satisfaction with Bai Ruyan today, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Both of them quickly nodded.
These iridescent chrysanthemums are extremely rare. Having finally obtained one, I must plant it immediately, otherwise it would be a pity if it withered.
Soon, the group selected a spot next to a pond in the palace and planted the chrysanthemums.
This place not only has light and water, but it also offers a perfect view from inside the palace, making it the best location.
To enhance the experience, Qin Yu and his team even dug the pit and filled it with soil themselves.
This terrified the palace maids who served them.
After doing all this, the three of them looked at the iridescent chrysanthemums swaying in the wind, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.
Just as Qin Yu was about to instruct someone to fetch some fertilizer from the agricultural department, An Fu strode in.
"Your Majesty, there are dozens of officials requesting an audience outside Kunning Palace."
Anfu quickly bowed and said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu looked surprised.
"What do they want from me?"
Qin Yu thought carefully for a moment, but couldn't think of any reason why the officials wanted to see him.
"This...this old servant does not know!"
Anfu shook his head.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yu's expression turned serious.
The ministers would not gather together for no reason; there must be a reason why they came to see him.
Qin Yu immediately disregarded Huan Caiju, washed his hands, and then led Anfu to the outside of Kunning Palace.
Indeed, the palace was filled with ministers.
As soon as Qin Yu came out, everyone immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health!"
"Your Majesty, please stop indulging in women."
"Your Majesty, I have brought you some highly nourishing Tian Shan Snow Ginseng. Please take care of your health."
"..."
As everyone bowed and prayed, they took out various tonics and medicinal herbs.
Seeing this, Qin Yu stood there stunned.
Good heavens, could it be that these ministers heard the rumors circulating in the palace, and then heard that he rushed to the Empress's palace after regaining consciousness, and they're all afraid that he'll overexert himself and die in the Empress's palace?
When did his subjects become so concerned about their emperor?
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you are in good health?"
Seeing that Qin Yu did not respond, Sima Lie asked from the side.
The other ministers also looked up at Qin Yu.
After hearing the Prime Minister's analysis, the officials of the Sima faction were all afraid that Qin Yu was dead, so as soon as they heard the news, they rushed to the palace with all kinds of tonics and medicinal herbs.
As for officials from other factions, they were simply following the trend.
However, looking at Qin Yu's rosy complexion, he didn't seem like someone who was weak and about to die at all.
Qin Yu then realized what was happening.
"Greetings, my esteemed subjects!"
Qin Yu chuckled and stepped forward, intending to signal everyone to stand up.
But as soon as Qin Yu took that step, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Anfu reacted quickly and caught him immediately.
"Oh dear, Anfu, help me back to the palace to lie down, I...I'm seeing black!"
Qin Yu's face turned pale instantly, and he said weakly.
Upon seeing this, Anfu immediately had Qin Yu carried back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Zhao Yan and Zi Yan were both startled and hurriedly rushed to Qin Yu's side in fear.
Sima Lie's pupils contracted as he watched Zhao Yan put on her crown robes.
"Hmph, it seems the Zhao family is prepared for their tyrannical ruler to die suddenly here!"
Sima Lie snorted coldly.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Otherwise, if this foolish emperor continues his debauchery, he might really die in this palace.
If the Zhao family manages to keep the death a secret and take the opportunity to move their army into the pass, he will be caught off guard.
"Quickly summon the imperial physician! Also, return to my residence and retrieve the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that I have been keeping!"
Sima Lie immediately gave the order.
"yes."
The group immediately got to work.
Finally, at Sima Lie's insistence, Qin Yu was moved to the palace.
Qin Yu had already "fallen into a coma" at this point.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't let anything happen to you! What will this old servant do if anything goes wrong with you!"
Anfu was crying loudly as he accepted all the medicinal herbs and gifts that the officials had brought.
Meanwhile, a group of imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital surrounded Qin Yu, each sweating profusely as they diagnosed him.
"If you can't cure His Majesty today, you can expect to be buried with him."
A group of civil and military officials stood outside the palace, pointing at the imperial physicians who were covered in sweat and shouting.
Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians felt their legs go weak.
They tried every method imaginable, but they still couldn't find out why Qin Yu was in a coma.
Qin Yu was completely out of breath, and his pulse was intermittent.
Under normal circumstances, the imperial physicians would have to start preparing for their own deaths.
But for some reason, today these civil and military officials suddenly became concerned about the emperor's health, as if they were all afraid he would die.
This made the imperial physicians extremely nervous and unable to relax.
"Get out of my way!"
Just then, Sima Lie let out a cold shout.
He walked over carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.
On his tray was a piece of Ganoderma lucidum with a missing corner.
"The Prime Minister is so loyal to the Emperor that he even brought out a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?!"
The imperial physicians gasped in surprise at the sight.
Thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is extremely rare, and its quantity is less than a handful in the entire world.
Sima Lie has truly gone all out this time.
"Your Majesty, you can't be hurt."
Sima Lie gritted his teeth, placed the medicine aside, and let Sima Jing personally feed Qin Yu the medicine.
He wouldn't have been willing to take out his treasured thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to save the tyrannical emperor if he didn't want his grand plan to be thwarted.
As the medicinal soup was poured into Qin Yu's mouth, everyone could see that Qin Yu's complexion gradually recovered.
"It works! That's great! It works!"
Everyone present cheered when they saw this.
After drinking half a bowl of herbal medicine, Qin Yu's eyelids finally twitched.
"What...what's wrong with me?"
Qin Yu opened his eyes and asked with a look of confusion.
Upon hearing this, all the ministers present were moved to tears.
"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up. This old minister... this old minister thought..."
