Chapter 480 Entrusting an Orphan
Shen Qing put on the mask and went straight to Qianyuan Hall.
She has not left Zhaohua Palace in the past few days. All news about Xuanyuan Ling is now banned. Except for the servants in Qianyuan Palace, no one outside knows about it, and she doesn't know either. But she won't go. If he gets better, he will naturally come to find her.
In her heart, she was hoping that he would come to find her. If he came to find her, then that would be it for him.
But what she waited for was not that he came to find her, but that he summoned her.
He summoned her, and since he didn't say that he had recovered, it meant that he was seriously ill.
Is it really impossible to get over it? The original novel has been so twisted! Does he have to follow this predetermined fate? Even if it is not according to the original novel, and he is not infected during the parade, but he still has to go this far? Everything is obviously different! Isn't she fine? Didn't she survive who should have died a long time ago? Isn't Xuanyuan Ling okay?
After Xuanyuan Ling gave the order, he waited in Qianyuan Palace. At this moment, he had a splitting headache and a lot of pain in his body. He lay there and didn't want to move at all, but he was still sober and ordered the servant: "Tie up my hair."
He has been lying in bed with disheveled hair for many days. Although he may not look very good at the moment, he does not want her to see him and think he is ugly at this moment.
When Shen Qing arrived, the other people summoned by Xuanyuan Ling had not arrived yet, so Zhao Hai went to meet Shen Qing.
Zhao Hai was lucky. He separated from Concubine Zhou immediately after coming into contact with her and has not been infected. At that time, only two people who suppressed Concubine Zhou were not infected.
Ever since he wrote the imperial edict for Xuanyuan Ling that day, he no longer served Xuanyuan Ling in person. He only arranged for people to come and go. He couldn't fall down at this time. He was still useful, so he couldn't serve him in person.
"Greetings to Her Majesty, everything has been arranged in the palace. The Emperor means that Her Majesty is in the outer palace."
Shen Qing nodded, looking inside, he asked her to stay in the outer hall.
The inner hall and the outer hall are ten meters apart, so that she can watch from a distance to ensure her safety.
The palace is poured with wine and then fumigated with boiled medicine every day, and it is also ventilated. If these measures are not taken, every person who serves the emperor every day will be infected. But even with such protection, two people have been infected. Everyone is worried and they will never let go of this worry.
Chen Qing was coming today, Zhao Hai knew what the emperor was thinking, but seeing that there was no fear or hesitation on Chen Qing's face, she just looked inside, and he was also wondering why she came so quickly, she must have rushed here as soon as she received the news.
Zhao Hai felt really sad. These two had been together for so many years, and even at this time, they still cared about each other. The emperor cared about the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine cared about the emperor. But why did fate make such a terrible thing happen to them?
How good have they been these years? Zhao Hai watched them all the way here. It was unbelievable that the emperor doted on a concubine so much, but he had been serving Xuanyuan Ling for so many years and had seen her for so many years. He really felt that this was very good. Such warmth was rare in a place like the palace.
He thought that the emperor and the queen would be like this for their whole lives, and that would be a good story, but now...
Zhao Hai couldn't think too much. The emperor was still conscious. There would definitely be a turning point in this matter. It was time to make plans early. It wasn't like the emperor was really dying. What was he thinking about?
Zhao Hai couldn't show his sadness either, he pursed his lips and invited Shen Qing in.
Xuanyuan Ling sat with a pillow behind his back, and Shen Qing went to the seat arranged in the outer hall. From a distance, the two of them just looked at each other.
In fact, at this distance, it was difficult to see any expression, especially since Shen Qing was still wearing a mask, but for a while the two of them just looked at each other, and no one started to make a move.
Chen Qing had been in Zhaohua Palace for so many days. Although she had not slept well and had not eaten well, she had not cried except for the first day. But now, looking at Xuanyuan Ling from afar, she could not help but shed tears.
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could see that she was wiping her tears. She cried, and his fingertips moved slightly.
His voice was extremely hoarse, and he was a little breathless when he spoke: "Are you trying to make me feel uneasy?"
He could now imagine that if he was really gone, she would definitely have a hard time in the future, so he tried to comfort himself by telling himself in his heart that she could hold on. But she ended up crying in front of him. He was reluctant to let her go in the first place, and now he was even more heartbroken.
Shen Qing rubbed his face randomly: "I feel sorry for you, can't I cry a little?"
I'm not crying because of the hardship in the future, I'm crying because I feel sorry for you.
Xuanyuan Ling felt uncomfortable, and her words made him feel like his heart was being torn out.
I want to hug her, but I can't.
Even when they were face to face, they had to be so far apart. She couldn't be infected with the disease. It would be best not to stay for too long. There couldn't be any chance of something happening. If he hadn't summoned other people today, he wouldn't have seen her. He just couldn't bear to see her.
Shen Qing didn't hear his response. She took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down in front of him. She bowed solemnly to him.
She hadn't knelt in front of him for a long time. Xuanyuan Ling knew that she could hold on. Yes, he felt more at ease when she could do this.
"I will first make Cheng Yun the crown prince and appoint ministers to guard his life. If anything unexpected happens, they can assist Cheng Yun in the future. I will hand over the defense of the capital to King Cheng, and the palace guards to you. I will also give you the tiger talisman."
With him summoning the ministers to entrust their care to the care of the young prince today, Cheng Yun's succession to the throne will not be gossiped about so much, at least it will be legitimate. When Cheng Yun succeeds to the throne, she will be the empress dowager. The palace guards can protect them and their son, and Prince Cheng can guard the capital to suppress the court. The tiger talisman can be left to her. In this way, with both internal and external constraints, she will feel much more secure.
Chen Qing clenched her hands. She knelt and did not get up, listening to Xuanyuan Ling continue to talk. After all, Chen Qing had never come into contact with those people in the court, so he told her who he could use in the court in the future. At least Cheng Yun would not be without someone to use him after he ascended the throne. As long as there were people to use him, he would not be alone in the court. After the beginning, life would not be so difficult.
Xuanyuan Ling spoke for a long time in a hoarse voice, and Chen Qing also listened for a long time. The two of them talked for a long time in a businesslike manner, and only after they finished explaining it did Xuanyuan Ling relax.
Shen Qing pursed her lips and stood up, stumbling.
Xuanyuan Ling saw that her body was unstable, so he raised his hand slightly, then put it down, and she stood firm on her own.
At this time, Zhao Hai reported that several adults had arrived.
Nowadays, the only ones who can see Xuanyuan Ling are those few people. Apart from King Cheng, there are four people in the cabinet and three respected old ministers in the court.
The ministers still knew about the martial law in the palace. After all, the emperor used to discuss matters with the ministers every day, but suddenly he stopped discussing matters and just said that the palace was under martial law. The ministers could understand his caution.
But now they were all called into the palace. It would have been fine if they were called in individually, but being called in together, they already felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
King Cheng also arrived.
King Cheng had not slept well in the past few days and now he was summoned to the palace. He looked extremely unhappy. The others were not much better. They all fell silent at once and no one spoke at all.
At this time, Shen Qing came out, and several ministers naturally saluted her. She looked at those adults, saluted them back, and then went to the side hall, where the imperial doctors were now.
