Chapter 1711 Impact

Zhou Shuren hurried to the outside of the bedroom and sneezed loudly. The feeling of being soaked all over was really bad. He was particularly ferocious now.

Eunuch Zhang was standing at the palace gate, dumbfounded. He had clearly tapped the eunuch to take an umbrella to catch it. "Hey, Lord, come in quickly. Why don't you hold the umbrella?"

Zhou Shuren shook off the rain on his body, "It's already soaked through, so it's no use hitting it."

It would be better if we didn't fight and left quickly. The rain is too heavy.

Eunuch Zhang, "Please go to the side hall and change your clothes."

Zhou Shuren was hurriedly summoned to the palace, thinking that the emperor was dying. He looked sideways after hearing this and said, "I will go see the emperor first."

Eunuch Zhang shook his head, "The emperor has fainted again. You can't see him now. Lord Hou, please come this way."

Zhou Shuren's heart skipped a beat and he said with a gloomy face, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."

Eunuch Zhang didn't think it was a bother. He didn't want to be too depressed in the palace. "You are too polite, Lord."

Arriving at the side hall, Zhou Shuren dried himself and changed his clothes. The clothes were the retired emperor's casual clothes, which had no taboos. Well, the only thing was that they were a little big. Zhou Shuren felt much more comfortable while holding Tang Pozi.

After he drank the ginger and sugar water and moved his arms and legs, he felt that he would not be sick anymore.

Eunuch Zhang then took Zhou Shuren to the palace. There were many people in the palace, including several princes, princes and grandchildren. The emperor had his hands behind his back and exuded a low aura, and no one said a word.

Zhou Shuren's footsteps were very light, and Eunuch Zhang whispered, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhou is here."

The emperor then turned his head and said, "Sit down."

Then the emperor continued to stare at the bedroom. There was no seat anywhere in the room. The emperor's grandson was standing. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly asked the young eunuch to move a chair over.

The King of Qi and the King of Chu were immersed in the emotions of their father's failing condition, and the Emperor's attention was distracted to Zhou Shuren, and they didn't get a seat!

Zhou Shuren sat down neatly. The emperor was in no mood to talk to him at this moment, so he just had to wait quietly. Feeling Rongchuan's gaze, he nodded to indicate that he was fine.

Rongchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He heard clearly the noise at the door of the palace just now and was worried that his father-in-law would get sick from being caught in the rain.

Zhou Shuren looked towards the bedroom, he was still very confused. The last time the emperor survived, he was in good health and could live for several more years. How could he suddenly die?

He glanced at everyone in the hall. The emperor and the emperor emeritus had the deepest relationship, they had a father-son relationship. The mood of Prince Qi and Prince Chu was complicated, it was impossible for them not to have a trace of resentment, of course they also had feelings for the emperor emeritus. Now that the emperor emeritus was dying, the two princes would think carefully about the future of their own lineage without a father to protect them.

The heavy rain was still falling outside, and the rumbling thunder was deafening, making people feel panic-stricken.

Zhou Shuren felt that this time the emperor emeritus was really not as powerful as before. It was normal for the founding emperor to die with some unusual phenomena. The emperor emeritus was indeed a good emperor. He had made many achievements and cultivated excellent successors.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuren looked at the emperor and the prince. If the prince succeeded smoothly and the royal family could continue to train a successor, the country would prosper. Unfortunately, he was old and would not live for many more years. He wanted to teach the prince's successor to be pioneering and innovative.

The prince was very sensitive and wondered when Marquis Zhou looked at him. When he looked back, Marquis Zhou had already retracted his gaze. He was panicked these days. He knew that the emperor would succeed to the throne smoothly with him. He thought a lot these days and finally laughed at himself. He was the prince. How could he succeed to the throne if he was so panicked?

The prince realized that his father said he was still young. He thought he had done a good job, but there were still many shortcomings. He looked at the bedroom with burning eyes, and he would not let the emperor down.

At Zhou Hou Mansion, it was already past the time to leave the government office, it was still raining heavily, and Shu Ren had not returned home yet.

After waiting for a while, the guard who came to pick him up came back and said, "The Marquis has entered the palace."

Zhulan looked in the direction of the palace and her heart skipped a beat. Shuren rushed into the palace without even telling her how urgent the situation was. She thought of the emperor, and signaled Butler Ding to take the guards back to rest, while she paced back and forth anxiously.

Chang Yi came in and saw that his mother looked uneasy. "Mom, what's wrong with you? Where's Dad?"

Zhulan looked up. "Why are you here when you are soaking wet instead of going back to your own yard? Hey, go change into some clean clothes."

Chang Yi looked down at his feet. There was already a pool of water. He shook himself and felt a little cold. "It's raining too hard. Where's my mother?"

"Your father has entered the palace. Go change your clothes first."

Chang Yi saw the girl taking her father's clothes, and she got up to change. When she came out after changing her clothes and drying her hair, her mother looked back to normal.

Zhu Lan asked, "What's the matter with you coming here from the government office?"

Chang Yi wiped his hair, motioned the maids to go out and said, "The Second Prince did not go to the Ministry of Rites today. I got some news from chatting with Ji Deming."

Pointing to the sky, the awareness was clear.

Zhulan was not surprised by Changyi's sharpness, "Your father has already entered the palace."

Chang Yi understood, "Mom, will this have any impact on our family?"

What he cares more about is this. The retired emperor is very important to the Zhouhou Mansion. The retired emperor values ​​his father. In addition, the retired emperor has the blood of the Rong family. Even if they are distant cousins, there is a blood connection.

The emperor is no longer with us, and the emperor doesn't have such deep feelings for the Rong family.

Zhulan looked at Changyi a few more times. Changyi just didn't have the talent for studying. Otherwise, he would be the one who went the furthest in the Zhou family. "You reacted quickly enough."

Changyi didn't think there was anything wrong with discussing this with his mother. He had always known that his mother was amazing. Facts had proven that she was indeed amazing. He really liked reading her articles. "Mom, I'm a little nervous."

Zhu Lan said: "It will have an impact, but we must strictly abide by the etiquette between the ruler and his subjects in the future. The ruler is the ruler."

Chang Yi silently said, "You are my Lord," and said with a smile, "Mom, will your son accompany you for dinner?"

Zhu Lan, "Okay, by the way, who is Ji Deming?"

Chang Yi told about Ji Deming's test today, "He must have plotted against Gu Sheng a lot, so he must have seen something and is afraid."

Although they keep a low profile, they have become a giant in the eyes of outsiders.

Because of his father's connections, the Zhouhou Mansion has its own complex network of relationships.

Zhulan nodded to show that she understood. When she heard Changyi sneeze, she motioned Qingxue to come in, "Is the ginger soup not ready yet?"

Qingxue said: "It should be soon."

Mainly because it was raining so hard that it was hard to walk over.

Inside the palace, Zhou Shuren's butt felt numb from sitting, and then he remembered that he had not left a message for his wife. He was in too much of a hurry at the time, and he thought he could only see her for the last time when he entered the palace!

He looked at the standing royal grandchildren and truly admired them. They were obviously in great pain, but they were still holding on.

The imperial physician had been guarding in the bedroom. The emperor was walking back and forth, and the only sound in the quiet room was the footsteps.

Suddenly the imperial physician spoke up, "The emperor is awake."

The emperor hurried in, followed by the Crown Prince, Prince Qi and others. Zhou Shuren and the emperor's grandchildren did not dare to move.

Zhou Shuren pried his ears open and heard the emperor's questions. The doctor's voice was not loud, but the heavy atmosphere told everyone that it was not optimistic.

After a while, the King of Qi and the King of Chu came out, leaving only the Emperor and Rong Chuan in the bedroom, while the Crown Prince was asked to come out.

Zhou Shuren looked at the King of Qi and the King of Chu. They must be feeling bad at this moment, because there are two legitimate sons in the palace, and there is a gap between legitimate and illegitimate children that can never be crossed.
