Chapter 362 The Emperor is seriously ill

The second prince turned sideways and watched with his own eyes as Mammy lifted up the gauze curtain.

Under the weak candlelight, the 'concubine' was lying on her side on the bed, her hair hanging by her ears was soaked, and she was coughing from time to time. Her whole back was shaking when she coughed, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.

The second prince took a glance and looked away when he didn't find anything wrong.

Grandma asked her, "Is your Majesty feeling better?"

Then a low and hoarse voice came out, "Mommy, you're here."

The grandma put down the lantern and bent down to inquire about her welfare. The second prince felt bored and did not want to know whether the concubine was seriously ill, so he put down his hand holding the gauze curtain and walked out of the inner room.

The second prince glanced at the guard who was following closely, and said impatiently, "Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get some antipyretic medicine, boil it and give it to your mother and concubine, and keep an eye on them. If you dare to be lazy, I, the prince, will

I’m asking you!”

Sometimes he is very conflicted. On the one hand, he resents his mother and concubine for not taking his side, but on the other hand, he is really afraid that his mother and concubine will die.

He originally thought about hiring a doctor for his mother-in-law, but then he remembered that he had just killed 60 secret guards. The money was gone, how could he still have money to hire a doctor, so the second prince gave up.

He didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor, what if he drugged his mother and concubine and was discovered.

Before the guard could react from his inexplicable nod just now, he responded perfunctorily when he heard the second prince's words, "Okay, I will definitely go."

The guard is a little clever, otherwise he wouldn't have survived so long under the Second Prince.

Suddenly a chill ran down his spine, and he realized that he had done something terrible. He swallowed the matter alive.

If he told this matter, he would probably die soon. The guard swallowed his saliva and chose the latter between loyalty and life-saving.

"This prince has left, lock the door."

The second prince looked back at the dark palace, which looked like a giant beast in the night, and walked away without interest.

It was really disappointing, and the second prince's already gloomy mood became even more depressed. As he walked along, he discovered something very strange.

Logically speaking, no one else is allowed to move around the palace at this time except the palace guards on night duty and patrolling guards. But why are people coming and going tonight?

Moreover, the eunuchs and maids passing by were all in a hurry, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Could it be that something big happened in the palace?

The second prince thought and ordered his servants to find out what happened.

The servant immediately grabbed a young eunuch and asked, "Young master, stay here. What happened in the palace? Why are everyone so anxious?"

The young eunuch recognized the second prince and hurriedly saluted him and said hello, "It turns out to be His Highness the second prince. Something big has indeed happened, but, it's just..."

This matter could be big or small, and the lowly eunuch didn't dare to speak for fear that he would lose his head if he said the wrong thing.

The second prince frowned, "Just tell me what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"

The little eunuch puffed up his breath and said helplessly, "It's the emperor. The emperor coughed up blood in the imperial study room. Now Eunuch Li is busy summoning the imperial doctors outside the palace to come into the palace. The slave is rushing to the ward to go out of the palace to make purchases.

People, ask them to replenish some useful medicinal materials in case of emergency."

"What did you say?" The second prince's eyes were full of disbelief, "Father coughed up blood? How could this happen?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense. If His Highness the Second Prince is fine, I have to leave first. If I mess up the affairs that Eunuch Li represents, I will be held accountable."

The little eunuch knew that he had said enough, and if he continued talking, he might cause trouble, so he did not dare to say more even if the person in front of him was the second prince.

After saying this, the little eunuch slipped away like a fish, so fast that even the servants couldn't catch him.

The second prince looked at the little eunuch's back as if he was running away, his eyes rolling back and forth.

Father is coughing up blood!

These words lingered in his mind, and while he was worried, he felt a little bit happy at the same time.

It was the practice of the Dashun Dynasty that if the emperor did not have time to leave a decree of succession before his death, then the throne would be passed on to his legitimate son. But now that the eldest prince is gone, he is the only legitimate son of his father.

If you say...

When the second prince thought about this possibility, he couldn't help but tremble. This tremor was not because of fear, but because it was so exciting!

When he thought of this possibility, he turned around and walked quickly towards his father's palace. His face was half worried and half smiling strangely, as if he was wearing a fake face.

He walked very fast, leaving all the servants behind him.

Outside the emperor's palace, Li Fuquan was pacing back and forth anxiously. The peacock feather on his hat seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and swayed back and forth as if it was alive.

"Eunuch Li." The second prince came to him with a quick stride, "What's wrong with your father? You're fine, why are you coughing up blood?"

Li Fuquan was frightened by the sudden appearance of the second prince. He stroked his beating heart and said, "It turns out to be His Highness, I am scared to death by you!"

At this time, Li Fuquan was preoccupied with thinking about the emperor's illness, so there was nothing he could do to pay respects.

However, the second prince didn't care. He was more concerned about his father's condition, so he asked with concern, "Eunuch Li, how is my father?"

Li Fuquan shook his head and said, "The imperial doctor is inside, and I am also very anxious."

Although this was not the first time that the emperor had fallen ill at night, it was the first time that he had coughed up blood. In the past, he had suffered from typhoid and high fever, but he had never thought that one day it would be so serious.

This caught Li Fuquan off guard, so much so that he even forgot to tell his servants to keep it secret, so he quickly called in the imperial doctor. Due to the huge noise, half of the people in the palace now knew that the emperor was coughing up blood.

Unexpectedly, the news spread so quickly, and even the second prince knew about it. Li Fuquan sighed, I am afraid that early tomorrow morning, all the officials in the capital will know.

The second prince refused to give up and asked persistently, "Why did my father cough up blood? My father-in-law has served my father for many years, and my father has never had any serious illness. Why did he suddenly..."

Li Fuquan choked and didn't know how to refute. What did the second prince mean by this? Did he mean that he didn't serve the emperor wholeheartedly?

After a while, he sighed again, lamenting the emperor's good intentions. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, although the emperor's temples were gray, his body was still strong.

But it was only then that they, the servants who served him, knew that over the years, the emperor had begun to be unable to do what he wanted. Many times he suffered from headaches and could not sleep at night. He did not dare to ask for an imperial doctor because he was afraid that something would happen to him. The power in the court was changing rapidly.

Out of his control.

The emperor concealed it so well that even the second prince did not know his father's true physical condition.

"Squeak——"

At this time, the imperial doctor came out of the emperor's palace.
