Emperor Yan frowned.
He recalled what he had just heard.
“What is it?” He asked.
Lady Yu did not answer. Instead, she looked at Zhang Shi who was not far away.
Seeing this, Emperor Yan frowned again.
“You go down first.” He said to Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi looked at Emperor Yan resentfully and then glared at Lady Yu.
Only then did she unwillingly bow to Emperor Yan and retreat.
This small appearance made Emperor Yan’s mood much better.
After Zhang Shi left, Emperor Yan looked at Lady Yu.
“Tell me, what do you want to report to me?” He asked.
Lady Yu saw the change in Emperor Yan’s expression and sighed again.
She quickly collected her emotions and told Emperor Yan about what the Imperial Consort had instructed him to do.
The more Emperor Yan listened, the angrier he became.
“Cough–” Suddenly, he coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Lady Yu was shocked and quickly got up to help Emperor Yan.
She took a handkerchief and wiped Emperor Yan’s mouth.
Emperor Yan looked at the blood-stained handkerchief and his body actually trembled.
He actually coughed up blood…
“Men, men!” Panicking, Emperor Yan pushed Lady Yu away and shouted.
After a short while, Zhang Shi arrived with a group of guards.
After entering the inner hall, what Zhang Shi saw was that Emperor Yan’s hair seemed to have turned white again. The few strands of hair that fell from his forehead swayed messily. He looked old and weak.
“Summon the Imperial Physician!” Emperor Yan said sternly.
“Yes, sir!” The guards hurriedly replied.
“Wait-” However, just a moment later, Emperor Yan called out to the guards again.
The guards stopped and turned around to salute Emperor Yan.
“Tell the Imperial Advisor to come and see me immediately!” Emperor Yan said again.
Imperial physicians, that bunch of useless trash, they didn’t notice that it was the Life Essence Pill. What use would it be to call them over now?
The Imperial Advisor! Oh right, he was proficient in both Heaven and Earth.
He definitely knew about the Life Essence Pill and how to remove its effects.
At this moment, Emperor Yan was in a panic. He no longer looked like an emperor. Instead, he looked like an old man who was afraid of death.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi glanced at Lady Yu who had fallen to the side and had some guesses in her heart.
She went forward, supported Emperor Yan, and gently stroked his back.
Emperor Yan’s body trembled and he subconsciously wanted to dodge.
When he turned around and saw that it was Zhang Shi, his eyes moved, and then a hint of fragility flashed across his eyes.
Then, he let Zhang Shi take care of him.
Zhang Shi revealed a distressed expression and helped Emperor Yan to the bed to lie down.
Immediately, she ordered the palace maid to bring hot water and cloth.
When the hot water came, she personally wiped Emperor Yan’s face.
Under Zhang Shi’s care, Emperor Yan’s emotions slowly recovered.
When Lady Yu saw this scene, she became even more aware of her status.
Even if she was just a substitute, she was actually the worst.
“Men!” Emperor Yan came back to his senses and quickly shouted.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” A guard immediately entered.
“Pass down my order to detain Master Guo.”
“Also, seal off the Third Prince and Fifth Prince’s residences. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders.” After saying that, Emperor Yan closed his eyes tiredly.
Lady Yu’s eyes moved slightly.
Sure enough, the situation proceeded as the Imperial Consort had expected.
After Prince Anyang was conferred the title of king and went to his fief, the Seventh Prince also followed him out of the capital.
Now, in the capital, the only ones who had the ambition and strength to fight for the position of Crown Prince were the Third and the Fifth Prince.
The Imperial Consort linked Master Guo to the Third and Fifth Princes.
As long as the two princes did not handle it well, what awaited them was destruction.
Without these two, even if Prince Anyang could not ascend to the position of Crown Prince, the probability of successfully fighting for the throne would greatly increase.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The guard obeyed and left.
Zhang Shi sighed and continued to wipe Emperor Yan’s forehead with a handkerchief.
“Let’s wait for the Imperial Advisor to come. Please don’t trouble yourself.” She said with a face full of heartache.
Emperor Yan opened his eyes and saw the woman in front of him with a worried expression.
Through this face, he seemed to recall the time not long after Consort Shu entered the palace, when he was sick and Consort Shu took good care of him.
At that time, Consort Shu truly loved him.
What a pity…it was him who had destroyed this love.
There was also Qing’er. That child was born out of their love.
He named him Murong Qing to express his feelings for Consort Shu.
At that time, they were as happy as a family of three in Shuanghua Palace..
