Chapter 1048 The Worst Ending
Xiao Xixi was very afraid that someone would notice that something was wrong.
Every time she was required to write down specific opinions, she would practice on white paper more than a dozen times first, making sure that her handwriting was almost the same as Luo Qinghan's, before she dared to put pen to paper.
She swore that she had never had such a hard time when taking the college entrance examination!
After reviewing the day's memorials, she felt her arms were too tired to lift them, and she slumped over the table, as if her soul had been hollowed out.
Being an emperor is really tiring!
She missed the days when she was a salted fish very much.
Baoqin came to ask her if she wanted to have dinner now, but she refused.
Although she was tired, she had no appetite.
Xiao Xixi got up and went to the bedroom.
On the bed, Luo Qinghan still had his eyes closed, motionless.
Xiao Xixi dragged her tired body over and sat down next to the bed.
There is a floor heater in the house, so the floor is warm and you won’t feel cold even if you sit on it.
She held Luo Qinghan's hand and called out softly.
"Ahan."
As expected, there was no response.
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Wake up quickly, being an emperor is too tiring, I can't hold on for too long."
In the quiet bedroom, only her chattering could be heard.
She talked to herself for a long time, and finally she lay down on the edge of the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Xiao Xixi slept very uneasily, with all kinds of bizarre dreams coming one after another.
She was lost in those dreams and didn't know where she was.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The emperor still showed no signs of waking up.
There had been no morning court for three consecutive days, and no matter how carefree the civil and military officials in the court were, they all sensed that something was wrong.
Someone went to the cabinet elders to inquire about the emperor, wanting to know if the emperor was ill. Otherwise, given the emperor's workaholic nature, he would not have asked for three consecutive days off unless he was too sick to get out of bed.
The cabinet ministers actually didn’t know what was going on.
They had not received the emperor's summons for the past three days and had been unable to enter the palace, so they had no idea what was happening in the palace.
But the emperor reviewed the memorials sent to the palace every day, so it must be nothing serious.
The cabinet ministers could only calm down the officials below and tell them not to think too much, while at the same time passing signs to the palace, hoping to enter the palace to see the emperor.
When Xiao Xixi received the sign handed to her by the cabinet ministers, she felt a headache.
The emperor was still in a coma and could not meet with his court officials.
She didn't dare tell the ministers that the emperor had fallen asleep for no reason.
When Luo Qinghan first ascended the throne, these old ministers made things difficult for him.
Later, it was Luo Qinghan who suppressed these cunning old ministers with the strong means he displayed.
If these old foxes knew that the emperor was in a coma, they would definitely have evil thoughts again.
Xiao Xixi can't take this risk.
She picked up the five signs, handed them to Eunuch Chang, and gave instructions.
"Go and tell them that the emperor recently had a dream from his ancestors and got some inspiration. He needs to fast and retreat for a period of time and temporarily stop holding court in the morning. He will resume holding court in the morning after the retreat is over. All other matters in the court will continue as usual."
"Yes."
Eunuch Chang took the signs with both hands, turned around and walked out.
The cabinet ministers' request to enter the palace to meet the emperor was rejected.
After hearing the reasons given by the emperor, they all found it a bit absurd. How could the king of a country be involved in such weird things?
But then they remembered the miracle that when the emperor was still a prince, he was invulnerable to swords and guns despite the siege of thousands of troops.
Compared to miracles, a dream is nothing.
With this in mind, the cabinet ministers naturally accepted the theory that the emperor was informed by his ancestors in their dreams.
Xiao Xixi used the excuse of her ancestor's dream to dispel the doubts of the court officials.
But she knew in her heart that this was only a stopgap measure that could only delay time but could not fundamentally solve the problem.
The officials in the court are not stupid. If the emperor still does not show up after a long time, they will definitely become more suspicious.
By that time, it would be difficult for Xiao Xixi to fool them.
In addition to helping to review memorials every day, she would stay by Luo Qinghan's bedside, praying in her heart over and over again, hoping that he would wake up as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.
Her prayers were in vain again and again.
Xiao Xixi had to think of the worst outcome——
What if Luo Qinghan never wakes up?
Whenever she thought of this, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't dare to think about it anymore. She forced herself to forget the worst ending. She repeatedly comforted and hypnotized herself, making herself believe that Luo Qinghan would definitely wake up. Maybe he would open his eyes the next moment?
He has a Ziwei destiny that is rarely seen in a thousand years. He is blessed with great fortune and will definitely live to be a hundred years old!
When Xiao Xixi thought of this, her thoughts paused.
She suddenly remembered what her master had said.
He said that there was something wrong with Luo Qinghan's fate and it was very likely that someone had tampered with it.
Logically speaking, people with the Ziwei destiny should be blessed by God, have great luck, and be more successful than others in every aspect.
Keluo Qinghan lost his biological mother when he was young and was almost killed by her. Later, he was used by his adoptive mother, feared by his biological father, and murdered by his own brothers...
This kind of life has nothing to do with the word smooth.
Xiao Xixi then thought of the talisman with the word "Lonely" written on it.
A person without father and mother is called an orphan.
This simple word tells the story of the first twenty years of Luo Qinghan's life.
If the appearance of the exorcism talisman was not accidental, then there must be a follow-up.
Xiao Xixi immediately called Eunuch Chang over and asked him if the emperor had encountered any strange things recently.
Eunuch Chang thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure out what was strange.
Xiao Xixi was a little disappointed.
In this palace, Eunuch Chang is the person who is most familiar with Luo Qinghan's daily life. He is with Luo Qinghan almost every day. If Luo Qinghan encounters any strange things, he will definitely not be able to avoid him.
Eunuch Chang said helplessly: "Although I am with the emperor every day, he will occasionally leave the palace. When he leaves the palace, he usually does not take me with him."
Xiao Xixi suddenly remembered that the exorcism talisman that Luo Qinghan obtained was also brought back from outside the palace.
Luo Qinghan would occasionally go out of the palace, and every time he did so he would bring a team of guards with him.
Xiao Xixi immediately ordered someone to call over the imperial guard commander Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian had already learned from Eunuch Chang that the emperor was in a coma.
To be honest, he was very panicked.
But he has always been introverted. Even though he was very panicked at this moment, he did not show it on his face, and his image as a cold and indifferent general remained intact.
He strode into the side hall and saluted to the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi didn't bother to greet him and asked as soon as she opened the door.
"Think carefully, has anything strange happened to the emperor recently? Especially outside the palace."
…
Good morning everyone!
Xixi: I don’t want to work, I just want to lie down QAQ
Luo Qinghan: I don’t want to lie down, let me get up and work!
……
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~
