Chapter 374 The Emperor Vomited Blood!
Bai Wutong understood, nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.
When I arrived outside the palace, I saw Wang Decai with a serious face, directing the palace servants to run around busily.
Bai Wutong stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Wang, I heard that you are investigating the clues of this matter?"
Wang Decai hurriedly took two steps forward, his face full of grief, "To answer your question, Your Majesty, that's right. The emperor is now unconscious and his life or death is uncertain. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to find out who is trying to harm the emperor!"
"Then go ahead and investigate. If you need my help, just let me know. By the way, if the investigation leads to me, I will cooperate with you without hesitation!"
"Thank you, Empress Zhao. I know what's going on. You can rest assured." Wang Decai bowed respectfully.
Bai Wutong said nothing more, turned around and was about to leave, inadvertently looking back at the hall.
The place that was originally tidy became messy again, and the huge decoration that hit the emperor - a solid wooden plaque, was now lying on the ground.
If such a large plaque hits someone's head, the consequences will be disastrous!
Bai Wutong was shocked, but she pretended to be calm, said nothing, and turned away.
Back at Tishun Hall, everyone looked calm, as if this sudden incident had nothing to do with them.
After listening to Bai Wutong's teachings, Chan'er, Yingchun and the others dared not say or do anything rashly, and acted as if everything was still the same as before.
Bai Wutong beckoned the two men over and ordered them methodically, "From today on, you two must act in a panic, as if the sky is about to fall."
"Don't step out of this Ti Shun Hall unless necessary. Everyone stay here quietly. Also, spread the news that I am sick from worrying myself out tomorrow morning. Remember, spread the news to everyone, but make sure it's done naturally without revealing any flaws."
In this way, she would not have to show herself in public and work hard, and she could also be known as a virtuous woman who was concerned about the emperor. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
But she couldn't really do nothing. No matter what the emperor's purpose was in directing and performing this farce, she had to be cautious and make sure she didn't make any mistakes.
The first thing is to fulfill the duties of the master of the harem and manage all the affairs in the harem in order.
Secondly, you must appropriately demonstrate your deep concern for the emperor. This concern must be sincere but not too deliberate.
Finally, and most importantly, she must demonstrate her loyalty unwaveringly and make everyone believe that she firmly believes that the emperor will wake up and return to the court!
Thinking of this, Bai Wutong turned to look at Chan'er beside him, "You must immediately arrange for people to closely monitor the movements of each palace. If any concubine makes any unusual movements, or if there is any mistake in her words or behavior, you must report it to me immediately, without any mistakes!"
"Yes, my lady, I understand."
Just like this, the New Year's Eve, which should have been a time for family reunion, joy and peace, passed quietly in an atmosphere of depression and fear!
The next morning.
The entire palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost, and it was eerily quiet.
Due to the emperor's accidental injury, the morning court had to be cancelled.
Wang Decai had conveyed the news to all the ministers without stopping last night, announcing that the emperor had caught a cold and needed to rest for a few days.
The true situation of the emperor's injury was kept strictly secret, and not a single piece of information was leaked out.
This arrangement is also intended to stabilize the situation in the court and avoid causing shocks in the court and the country and panic among the people.
Wang Decai searched extensively throughout the entire day.
Scary screams could be heard from every corner of the palace from time to time. Those were the suspected eunuchs and palace maids who were being tortured!
These screams made the already panic-stricken harem even more depressed.
Jin Weige felt like sitting on pins and needles, and was extremely anxious.
Finally, she could no longer endure this torment, so she stood up abruptly and walked quickly towards the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"Eunuch Wang, what is the emperor's current condition? Is he still unconscious?"
Wang Decai turned around, his face full of sorrow and fatigue, "To reply to Concubine Jin, the emperor is still unconscious. Please go back to the palace to rest. If the emperor shows any signs of waking up, I will report to you as soon as possible!"
Jin Weige was so excited that her eyes were red. "It's been almost a day and a night, why hasn't the emperor woken up yet? What are those imperial doctors doing?"
Wang Decai sighed heavily and explained, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the imperial doctors have tried their best. But the emperor was hit by the huge plaque this time, and his brain injury is extremely serious. The imperial doctors are really helpless!"
"Plaque? How big is the plaque to hurt the emperor like this?" Jin Weige asked.
Before she finished her words, a flurry of footsteps was heard in the Yangxin Palace.
An imperial physician rushed out in a panic, shouting, "Oh no! The emperor just suddenly vomited blood!"
"What?!" When Jin Weige heard this, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and his head buzzing. Without time to think, he rushed into the hall in a panic.
There was chaos in the hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs were carrying basins of blood one after another.
Looking at the shocking red color, Jin Weige felt her legs go weak, she felt dizzy and almost collapsed to the ground.
After a long time, Wang Decai finally walked out of the palace slowly, his voice hoarse, "Your Majesty, the emperor still has no signs of waking up. Just now, he suddenly convulsed all over and vomited a lot of blood. Now the emperor's condition is very critical. I hope your Majesty will return to the palace first and don't disturb the doctors from treating the emperor!"
"I... I understand." Jin Weige turned away in despair, with basins of bright red blood constantly appearing in his mind.
If an ordinary person vomited so much blood, he would have died long ago!
Thinking back to when I was sick before, I just coughed every day and didn’t vomit blood, but my body became weaker and weaker. If I hadn’t gritted my teeth and held on, I would probably have died long ago!
And now the emperor's injuries seem to be much more serious than mine at the beginning!
Thinking of this, Jin Weige couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
Could it be that... the emperor is really going to die?
The news that the emperor vomited blood spread throughout the harem, and many concubines wanted to come over to check on the situation.
But there are also many people who have not expressed anything at all. They are more worried about their own situation now!
Bai Wutong secretly memorized all the reactions of everyone in the harem.
Those concubines who were eager to visit the emperor might really have feelings for him, or they might just want to check on the situation.
And those who are indifferent must only care about themselves.
After Bai Wutong took note of it, he headed towards the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as she arrived, she asked anxiously, "Eunuch Wang, did the emperor really vomit blood? What is his current condition?"
Wang Decai's face was filled with sorrow, and he replied helplessly, "Your Majesty, the emperor is still in a coma, and the situation is not optimistic. You should go back and rest first. If there is any news, I will inform you in time."
"The emperor is in such a critical condition, how can I rest in peace?" Bai Wutong said, pretending to cough twice because of excessive worry, "Can't I go in and see the emperor?"
"It's really not possible, Your Majesty." Wang Decai said firmly, "The Emperor needs absolute silence right now, and no one can disturb him."
"Okay." Bai Wutong didn't force it anymore, but he still looked worried. Finally, he sighed, turned around and left.
