"Your Majesty, please think of a solution quickly! If this continues, the Emperor might..."
Eunuch Gao said this with an anxious look on his face, his voice tinged with tears.
"Let me think about it carefully!"
The queen frowned and paced back and forth, her mind in a mess.
She was extremely anxious at the moment, but didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the nanny beside the queen slowly came over
He said softly, "My Lady, in my opinion, it would be better for you to ask Prince Li for help."
Hearing this, the queen's expression instantly became uneasy.
Prince Li, the man who once had a close relationship with him
All those past memories suddenly came flooding back to my mind.
She couldn't help but think of the little things that had happened between them, the laughter, the sweetness, but more of it was helplessness and regret.
The queen subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made a huge decision.
"Bring me some paper!" cried the Queen.
The maid beside her hurriedly handed over paper and pen.
The queen walked to the table, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then hurriedly wrote a letter.
Every word in the letter carries her full expectations and worries.
After writing, the Queen folded the letter and put it in the envelope
Then he handed it to the trusted eunuch beside him
He also warned: "It must be delivered as quickly as possible, without any mistakes!"
The trusted eunuch took the letter
He replied, "Yes, your majesty, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Looking at the back of her trusted eunuch leaving, the queen was still uneasy.
She didn't know how Prince Li would react after seeing the letter, and whether he would be willing to help.
However, at this moment, she seemed to have no other choice but to place her hopes on Prince Li.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
Eunuch Gao bowed and spoke softly.
The queen waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
Afterwards, she stood there quietly alone, gazing into the distance, praying silently in her heart that everything would go well.
Eunuch Gao had just stepped into the vermilion gate of Weiyang Palace and had not yet had time to find his footing.
Only a gentle yet somewhat majestic voice was heard: "Where is Eunuch Gao going?"
Following the sound, I saw Concubine Zhen sitting lazily on an exquisite chair not far from the door.
One leg was elegantly raised and placed over the other.
Gao Gonggong's heart tightened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
He quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just went to the bathroom."
Concubine Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly
He said with a half-smile, "Oh, Eunuch Gao is old, don't run around alone. Someone come here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several strong eunuchs immediately responded and quickly surrounded Eunuch Gao.
"You guys must serve Eunuch Gao well and never let him get lost."
The corners of Concubine Zhen's mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuchs responded in unison and then took Eunuch Gao away without any explanation.
Looking at Eunuch Gao being taken away, Concubine Zhen showed a hint of pride on her face.
Then he cleared his throat and read aloud: "The emperor has ordered that no one be allowed to leave the palace."
After reading the oral order, Concubine Zhen walked towards the inner hall.
Walk to the bed and slowly squat down
He called softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up."
The emperor on the bed was bleary-eyed and drowsy. He responded, "My beloved, what's wrong?"
Concubine Zhen said with concern, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well now, and the ministers are in a state of panic. I think that for the sake of stability in the court and for the sake of our royal family's prosperity for generations to come, why don't you make our son the crown prince now? That would put everyone at ease, wouldn't it? I have already prepared the imperial edict and am waiting for Your Majesty to tell me where the imperial seal is."
As she spoke, Concubine Zhen took out a bright yellow imperial edict from her bosom and gently unfolded it before the emperor.
