Chapter 1542 Good Spirit

Zhou Shuren looked very tired. He rubbed his cold hands and motioned for the maids in the room to leave. Then he whispered, "The emperor has caught a cold and is seriously ill."

"How did you know the news?"

Zhou Shuren lowered his voice, "Rongchuan has returned from Huguo Temple. He sent someone to inform me that he has already entered the palace."

Zhulan's heart skipped a beat. "Why did he suddenly become seriously ill?"

"I haven't heard from the emperor recently. I haven't seen him in the palace. He must be ill. He is so ill that he can't hide it anymore."

Zhu Lan motioned Shu Ren to change his clothes, followed him into the house and asked, "Has it spread all over the capital?"

"You will know everything you need to know tomorrow."

Zhulan thought that the emperor had abdicated for many years and had little influence on the court. The ones who were really affected were a few princes, the queen mother, and the Ning and Rong families.

Zhulan thought of the Rong family, "Should I tell my fourth uncle about this?"

Zhou Shuren sighed, "We can't keep it secret. The incident with Ming Teng last time showed that Fourth Uncle has his own sources of information. We can't just keep it secret if we want to."

Zhulan, "Then tell Fourth Uncle tomorrow."

"Okay."

Zhu Lan suddenly said, "Prince Liang is fine, but the retired emperor is seriously ill, which has the greatest impact on Prince Liang's mansion."

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor is becoming more and more soft-hearted. The last time I saw him, he talked a lot about Prince Liang."

"After all, he is the father."

The capital city was very restless that night. Many families even sent people to watch the palace to avoid being slow to react when the bell was rung. Most people thought that the emperor would not survive this time.

Zhou Shuren also didn't sleep much that night. The retired emperor had been very kind to him and had always supported his ideas over the years. Although he treated him like a cow, he was really good to him. Apart from the class, they could barely be considered friends.

When Zhou Shuren woke up in the morning, he didn't look very good. His face was a little pale and his eyes were bloodshot. It was hard to hide his fatigue at his age.

Zhulan asked the kitchen to make vegetarian noodles in the morning, but the couple didn't eat much.

There was no morning court today. The Emperor sent someone to notify everyone before daybreak. It can be seen that the Emperor was guarding the Emperor Retired.

Zhulan was eating, thinking about Rongchuan and Xuehan, "I wonder if they have eaten yet. Xuehan's body hasn't recovered yet!"

"Don't worry, Rongchuan will take good care of Xuehan."

Inside the palace, the emperor and his brothers did not have breakfast. No one had the appetite to eat, so the emperor sighed and asked his men to leave.

Rongchuan was not there. He was the Queen Mother's youngest son and was accompanying her with his wife.

Prince Qi looked towards the bedroom, worried about his father and himself. Life was different with and without a father. If his father passed away, they and the emperor would only be monarch and subject.

The King of Chu was also anxious. Your father was quite caring towards these brothers. As long as your father was around, the emperor would not go too far.

Prince Liang was much calmer now, as he had already arranged everything for Prince Liang's Palace.

Rongchuan was holding a bowl, "Mother, this is made by my son. You haven't eaten for a day, drink some porridge. If you are weak, father will be distressed."

The Queen Mother felt a little headache, looking at the porridge in front of her, "Did you really make it?"

"Of course, how could your son lie to you?"

The Queen Mother had no appetite, but facing her most despised youngest son, she still took the bowl and drank slowly. The court lady was so happy that she almost cried. The Queen Mother drank a small bowl and couldn't drink any more. "Don't worry about me, go and have breakfast first."

Rongchuan pulled Xuehan up and said, "Mother, please take a rest."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Okay."

Rongchuan took his wife to have breakfast. The place was full of his father and mother's people. He didn't dare to say anything more. He signaled his wife to eat more as they had been tired these past few days.

Rongchuan was also worried about his father, but he did not have the worries and concerns that Prince Qi and others had. He was a legitimate son, and that was an advantage.

Xue Han was very tired. The Queen was in poor health. She stayed up all night yesterday and fainted. The Queen went to rest, so the place was left to her. She didn't sleep a wink all night.

Rongchuan felt sorry for his wife, but the palace had strict rules and regulations, and he didn't want to be criticized, so he couldn't say to let his wife go to rest. He could only reach out and hold her hand.

Xue Han responded with a small smile, she had become the Princess of Qin and was well aware of the powerful relationship involved.

The Zhou family, Rong Yuyun has been silent since hearing the news, and the descendants of the Rong family have not spoken yet. In the hearts of the old man and the emperor, even if Rong Enqing is the orthodox branch, he cannot bear the glory of the Rong family. First, he entered the business world, and Rong Enqing was a bastard, and he also married a girl from the Yao family. The old man and the emperor have always had a knot in their hearts.

Zhulan was very worried about her uncle, "Uncle, are you okay?"

Rong Yuyun shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling emotional. The Emperor said a few days ago that when Mingteng's child is born, he will personally give the family tree to him!"

Zhu Lan was stunned for a moment. This actually happened. "No news has come out from the palace yet. The emperor will definitely recover."

Rong Yuyun was not so optimistic and sighed, "Let's hope so."

He was very sorry that the emperor personally included Mingteng's child in the family tree. This was not only an honor but also a guarantee for the Rong family. Since Mingteng had a child, he entered the palace more often. Why did he enter the palace? Naturally, it was for the child. From time to time, he sighed that the Rong family had an heir and hoped that the royal family would treat the Rong family well.

After all his calculations, he never expected that the retired emperor would be seriously ill. Rong Yuyun even wanted to pray for him. He sincerely hoped that the retired emperor would live a few more years. The retired emperor was the greatest supporter of the Rong family.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren was looking through the data that Zhang Jinghong brought back from the grassland. Zhang Jinghong had completed his task perfectly and was now resting.

Qiu Yan came in and asked, "Are you still looking at the data?"

Zhou Shuren, "Well, the grassland was built step by step from the basics. I can understand it better after taking a look."

When he withdraws money in the future, he will have a better idea of ​​what to do.

Qiu Yan sat down, "You go to the town."

Zhou Shuren knew what Qiu Yan wanted to say, "It's better not to discuss it now."

Qiu Yan knew his limits and did not dare to discuss it. He was just unsure, so he came to find Zhou Shuren. Zhou Shuren's calmness could soothe his emotions. Qiu Yan changed the subject, "My life is like this."

Zhou Shuren agreed in his heart, "Then what are you worried about?"

Qiu Yan, "My grandchildren, if my son is as successful as your son, I won't have to worry."

Zhou Shuren continued to look through the account book in his hand and said, "I also taught my son a lot."

The eldest son was honest and stupid, but after a little teaching from the couple over the years, the eldest son has become able to stand on his own feet. Qiu Yan's son started from a higher point than his eldest son.

Qiu Yan was choked. His son's talent was not good and he did not teach him well. The two fell into silence.

At this time, Jianyan came in with Eunuch Zhang, "Lord Zhou, the emperor invites you to the palace."

Zhou Shuren's heart skipped a beat. He was really afraid to invite him into the palace. There was only one possibility for inviting him into the palace. It was that the emperor was seriously ill and wanted to entrust his care to someone. It couldn't be that this was his last breath, right? Bah, bah, it doesn't work for good people but not for bad people!
