Chapter 375: Paralyzed
Li Zixi was truly grateful to Emperor Beizhao.
He carried out the instructions of Emperor Beizhao extremely thoroughly.
"Your Majesty is a good man..." Li Zixi sighed.
"I came to the Southern Kingdom as an envoy, but my salary is tripled. I can even be promoted twice when I go back! Your Majesty is a good man..." Li Zixi kept praising the good things about Emperor Beizhao.
"Is it possible that His Majesty is avoiding you..." Xie Yuzhou complained in a low voice.
Xie Jingxi glanced at him, and the young master immediately shut up.
When we arrived outside the palace gate, all the civil and military officials had already rushed in.
The palace was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Li Zixi was in a state of disgrace, and he walked quickly towards the Taiji Palace. He was still far away, and before he entered the gate of the Taiji Palace...
Then I heard a group of beautiful girls kneeling on the ground, holding their handkerchiefs and crying.
There were also many princes and princesses guarding him.
Queen Su's face looked heavy, with a hint of hostility between her brows! The old emperor hasn’t passed on the throne yet, he can’t die now! !
As the eldest princess, Nan Fengyu is in charge of the situation in Taiji Hall.
As soon as Li Zixi entered the palace, he howled, rushed in crying, and lay on the edge of the collapse: "Your Majesty of the Southern Kingdom!"
He pointed to the collapsed area tremblingly: "Your Majesty is still in there?"
Although Nan Fengyu didn't like him, he was an envoy from Bei Zhao after all.
Her eyes were red, full of grief: "Nandu has been established for many years, and there has never been a collapse. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen. The collapse location is just above the Taiji Hall, and below is the inner river of the moat. The river water is turbulent, and I have not found any trace of my father so far."
Hearing this, the concubines cried even more sadly.
The queen had gray hair, and she was holding Buddhist beads in her hands, with an ugly and gloomy expression on her face.
The old eunuch knelt in front of the palace and said, "Your Majesty could have escaped, but your leg was injured during the day and you can't walk well. That's why you were a step slower and fell into the hole..."
The atmosphere was solemn and everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
"Mother, don't worry. Father is a believer in the Supreme God Zongbai. Good people will be blessed by the gods."
"Your son has already sent guards to look for him, and the imperial physician is on standby outside the palace at any time. Your Majesty will surely be out of danger!" Nan Fengyu's eyes were red, but his expression was firm.
At this moment, Xu Shiyun also entered the palace accompanied by Rong Che, followed by a veiled nanny.
If you look closely at her feet, you can see that the soles of her shoes are of different thicknesses.
Fortunately, the lameness was not obvious.
In the past few days, Xu Shiyun has been looking for an opportunity to successfully recognize Ning as her relative.
In front of Xu Shiyun stood a graceful and elegant woman, who was the fake one.
The fake's eyes were red and his expression was sad. He stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the queen.
This gift is so great that it makes one's eyelids twitch.
This is the posture of a concubine paying respect.
Xu Shiyun's eyes darkened, and the fake Ning turned to look at her: "Yun Niang, come and pay your respects to the Empress. This is your first time back in the palace, and you will have to rely on the Empress's care in the future..."
"Your Majesty has not officially acknowledged her relationship, and Yunniang's identity has not been made public. She is still the wife of Bei Zhaohou."
Rong Che had an indifferent expression and performed the ceremony between a king and his subject with Yunniang.
The fake Ning nodded: "That's right, you are the most noble princess in the Southern Kingdom, you have to be legitimate."
The queen looked gentle and personally helped the fake Ning up.
"When your majesty returns safely, I will give you a proper identity."
"If you save His Majesty's life, you will save my life, and also save the Southern Kingdom from danger. It's not right to let you live outside the palace..."
"Before, you were worried about your daughter's life or death. Now that your daughter has been found, she should be able to enter the palace and enjoy her life, right?"
The fake Ning sighed softly, "Forget it, Your Majesty. Now that Yun'er is back, you have to think about your daughter."
The veiled nanny behind Yunniang trembled slightly and kept her head down, afraid to reveal the hatred in her eyes.
Enjoy life?
You slaughtered my entire village and still want me to be your concubine in the palace? !
"Yun'er, why is the nanny behind you wearing a veil?" The queen asked when she saw a veiled woman standing behind her.
Yunniang smiled and said, "Your Highness, Yunniang has severe morning sickness and likes to eat sour food. Madam happens to be good at it, so I brought her with me."
"She has had a cold these days, and I'm afraid she might be infected."
The queen nodded. She just asked casually and didn't think much about it.
Keep your attention on the hole at all times.
There was a roaring sound of water below, and the rapid flow of the water was so powerful that everyone was frightened.
An hour passed before I could vaguely hear some noise coming from below.
Nan Fengyu lay on the edge and asked, "Have you found father?" She looked concerned and in great pain.
"We've found your Majesty! Let the miracle doctor get ready!" the guards below shouted.
The queen and other concubines immediately knelt on the ground and said, "May the Bodhisattva bless you, may the Supreme God Zongbai bless you. I am willing to exchange my life for your Majesty's safety!"
The Taiji Palace collapsed severely. Everyone was terrified when they heard the sound of water, and no one dared to leave.
When the old emperor was lifted up, his eyes were closed, his body was soaked, and he had no reaction.
"Hurry up and change your majesty's clothes."
"The undercurrent was strong and Your Majesty was swept away when he fell into the water. Fortunately, there were many rocks underneath and Your Majesty happened to be washed onto a rock."
"It's just that he fell from a height and drowned. I'm afraid he's seriously injured."
The attendant quickly reported the situation.
The palace maids were changing the old emperor's clothes. Lu Chaochao saw that his stomach was bloated and was afraid that he had swallowed a lot of river water. His body was covered in bruises and many of his bones were badly injured.
Ouch, what a sin.
Li Zixi, ah Li Zixi, the old emperor has to bear all the blame for your misfortune.
The crowd carried the emperor to Chang'an Palace.
The Southern Kingdom's Miracle Doctor came forward to feel the emperor's pulse and quickly gave him a few injections. The old emperor then spat out mouthfuls of turbid water.
His eyes rolled back, but he was still not awake.
"Your Majesty has injured his lungs this time, and I'm afraid his life is in danger." The Southern Kingdom's Miraculous Doctor believes in medical immortals and has a high status in the Southern Kingdom. He represents the highest authority in Southern Kingdom's medical skills.
"I will try my best..."
Everyone in the palace was in tears. The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom had not yet woken up, so no one dared to leave.
"Dad, are you feeling better from your morning sickness?"
Just as Lu Chaochao opened her mouth, she saw Rong Che take out a sour apricot from his arms and put it in his mouth.
Lu Chaochao drooled as she watched, and felt sour just looking at it.
"I still have some morning sickness in the mornings and evenings, but it's better than before. I won't have another baby, ever again... Ugh..." It's really terrible.
"Do you want to eat it?" Rong Che gave her one.
Lu Chaochao swallowed her saliva, her face wrinkled and she shook her head: "I don't have morning sickness, thank you."
Yunniang has a slender waist and is not yet pregnant. She walks briskly and appears extremely relaxed.
These two people are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum.
The veiled old lady patted Rong Che's hand gently, with a smile in her eyes.
Xu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she whispered in her ear, "This is grandma."
There was expectation and some worry in Ning's eyes.
She was afraid that her children would not accept her as a disfigured old lady.
Lu Chaochao smiled brightly, took Ning's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Grandma. Chaochao will go and earn you the position of queen, don't worry..."
The old lady held Chaochao's hand tightly, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.
"Okay... okay..." His throat was burned, but thanks to Lu Chaochao's spiritual spring, he could barely utter one or two words.
My mind is filled with that one sentence: Grandma.
She didn't care about becoming the queen at all.
Who would believe that a three-and-a-half-year-old child wants to be the queen?
