Chen Siyuan felt baffled and sensed that there was something wrong with the whole thing.
Thinking of seeing the Emperor again, she tried to calm herself down and reminded herself that the Emperor might really know her mother, and that this connection might be enough to bring peace to the Chen family.
Thinking to herself, Chen Siyuan secretly removed the silver wrapped around the amber bracelet while sitting in the carriage, all in order to increase her chances of success.
Touching the amber, I prayed silently, 'Mother, bless me.'
The carriage soon arrived at the palace. Once there, the Grand Secretary pulled Chen Siyuan along again.
They encountered no obstacles along the way and went directly to the Emperor's Daming Palace.
Upon seeing this place, Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm. She looked at the Grand Secretary, wanting to say something, but unexpectedly, the Grand Secretary did not give her a chance to speak and directly pushed Chen Siyuan into the Daming Palace.
Chen Siyuan was afraid.
Even though I didn't come to this place in my past life, I knew it was where the emperor rested.
As the young mistress of a general's mansion, it was clearly inappropriate for her to be allowed into the emperor's bedchamber.
She was pushed inside, and before she could even get her footing, someone grabbed her and pulled her further in.
This time, Chen Siyuan reacted quickly, stopping in her tracks and looking at Eunuch Huang, who was holding her hand. She forcefully shook off Huang's hand, saying, "Eunuch Huang, you..."
"Madam, it's too late, hurry up!"
Chen Siyuan remained unmoved upon hearing this.
She didn't want to go into the Emperor's bedroom.
Just as the two were at an impasse, General Qiao came out from inside.
"Siyuan?"
Chen Siyuan was clearly taken aback when she saw General Qiao.
"It's alright." General Qiao wasn't good at comforting people, but seeing the trembling child trying his best to hold on, he could only say these words.
Chen Siyuan was passive in everything she did; she always had a feeling that things weren't going well.
Suddenly she saw General Qiao. Feeling wronged, tears streamed down her face, but she immediately wiped them away with her sleeve.
He bowed to General Qiao and said, "Father."
General Qiao was a rough man. Seeing the once strong child turn into this, his gaze immediately swept towards Eunuch Huang.
Huang Gonggong felt a little guilty and dared not meet General Qiao's eyes. But then he realized that he hadn't brought the person himself, so he felt at ease.
"It's alright," General Qiao said, glancing at Eunuch Huang before walking outside.
Chen Siyuan seemed to feel much more at ease after seeing General Qiao, and was no longer as flustered as before. When she saw Eunuch Huang about to enter the inner hall, she was worried and quickly grabbed Eunuch Huang's sleeve, wanting to ask what was going on.
The Emperor was inside; if she spoke, he would surely hear her. Fearing this, she could only signal with her eyes.
She felt uneasy about coming to see the Emperor, especially in this place.
She already knew that General Qiao and the Emperor had a close relationship, and seeing General Qiao come out of the Emperor's palace just now, their relationship must be extraordinary.
She was, in a sense, General Qiao's daughter-in-law, so logically she wouldn't harm her.
Thinking of this, I also thought of the people from the Dali Temple in the Chen family.
She knew many things clearly: there wasn't much difference between being acquitted and being sentenced.
If the people from the Dali Temple continue to be involved with the Chen family, it will have a significant impact on the Chen family.
I wonder how Big Brother and Black Hawk are doing?
Thinking of her grandmother's health, she made up her mind.
Everyone's here, what's the point of being coy?
Thinking it over, she released Huang Gonggong and mustered her courage to walk into the inner hall.
Cautious, she lowered her head and walked in, not daring to look around.
They were worried that if they saw something they shouldn't have, their lives would end prematurely.
She stopped in front of the dragon bed and saw that the emperor was not alone. Looking at the person's shoes and clothes, she felt that he was from the Imperial Hospital.
Thinking to herself, she dared not raise her head and knelt obediently on the ground, waiting for the emperor to speak.
At that moment, she didn't know what she was thinking. She bowed, but dared not speak.
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, they even forgot these basic etiquette rules.
"Imperial Physician Huang, His Majesty..." Eunuch Huang was anxious and frightened when he saw the Emperor, who had been unconscious and had not yet woken up.
The emperor's health was not as good as before. He had just recovered a bit recently. Just when he thought the emperor was fine, he suddenly collapsed again, which frightened him.
Imperial Physician Huang glanced at Eunuch Huang; they were both old servants of the Emperor and genuinely worried about him.
He shook his head slightly, "Tonight, when His Majesty wakes up..." The person had been in a coma for several days, and various methods had been ineffective. Imperial Physician Huang was worried that the Emperor might never wake up again.
He dared not say such things carelessly.
Tonight is indeed the final deadline.
If I don't wake up tonight, the chances of me waking up again are slim.
Thinking of this, I shook my head and sighed inwardly.
With the princes in the capital fighting so fiercely, what would happen if the emperor suddenly left? He's been through it all, so he can guess the gist of it.
This was something he didn't want to see, but couldn't stop.
If you still pretend to be confused at this point, then you've truly wasted your life.
Hearing the noise, Chen Siyuan suddenly looked up.
Suddenly, what came into view was the middle-aged man she had met a few times lying on the luxurious dragon bed.
His face was pale, devoid of any color, and he bore no trace of the imposing presence I remembered.
At that moment, he seemed like an ordinary patient.
I had a general idea in my mind: Could it be that the emperor is going to die?
No, the timing is wrong; it's much earlier than originally planned.
Chen Siyuan, lost in thought, forgot to look away and stared straight at the Emperor, remaining motionless for a long time.
At this moment, she did not see that Eunuch Huang and Imperial Physician Huang, who had been serving her, had left, leaving only the two of them in the entire inner hall.
General Qiao waited anxiously outside the hall. Imperial Physician Huang and Eunuch Huang, not understanding many things, could only stand respectfully to the side.
I wish the night would pass quickly, yet I also wish it would slow down, so that it would last until the Emperor wakes up.
Chen Siyuan thought about it a lot, and when she came to her senses, she realized that since the emperor was already like this, what did she have to worry about?
Even if the emperor were to die, she wouldn't be able to sit on the throne, and she didn't have that much ambition.
What is she worried about, what is she afraid of?
Besides, she felt that Chen Zhaokun's actions were probably not the Emperor's doing.
Thinking about all this, she felt she should leave as soon as possible.
If the Emperor were to die at this moment, and I were right there beside him, there would be things I couldn't say clearly. Thinking this, I realized that Eunuch Huang and Imperial Physician Huang were not by my side.
Chen Siyuan panicked and suddenly got up to leave, but at that moment, she saw a hand vaguely peeking out from under the blanket.
No, the key is not the hands.
It's something in your hand.
Perhaps knowing that the emperor wouldn't wake up immediately, she moved closer to get a better look.
This...this is beeswax.
Moreover, it was an amber pendant that I had been searching for for a long time.
