It has been five days since Prince Ying and his family returned to the capital. During these five days, the emperor was ill and had not been in court.

Those who are well-informed among the officials know that it was because Princess Ying broke into the East Palace privately and then contradicted the emperor, which directly made the emperor extremely angry.

In the early days of the Jinluan Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince was in charge, so there were no problems for the time being.

However, in the twenty-third year of Jian'an, on May 1st, when the prince was still discussing politics with ministers in the Jinluan Hall, Eunuch Liu hurried in from the side hall of the Jinluan Hall.

Eunuch Liu is a famous person who serves the emperor. Every morning, all the officials can see and approach Eunuch Liu.

Nowadays, the emperor is unable to go to court due to illness, and the old eunuch who serves the emperor hurriedly comes to the Jinluan Palace, but because something happened to the emperor in the harem?

Eunuch Liu approached His Highness the Crown Prince's ear anxiously and whispered: "Your Highness, the Emperor has not woken up today. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital have said that if the Emperor cannot wake up again, he may...

…Your Highness, where are you going?”

"Resigning from the court, if there is anything else to do, I will start my speech tomorrow when I go to court." Zhai Xiyou waved his sleeves and walked down the side steps to the high platform.

The prince who was in charge of the overall situation all left. Out of curiosity, the ministers all gathered in the Jinluan Hall to discuss.

Even the remaining three princes gathered together.

"Third Emperor Brother, when you say that Father, is he...?" Zhai Xiyu said very cryptically. As the eldest prince among his father's sons, how could he possibly say such a disrespectful word as 'death'.

Zhai Xiye smiled and shook his head. How did he know whether Zhai Yuan was dead or not lying on the dragon bed in the palace? Anyway, Zhai Xiye wanted Zhai Yuan to die. It was he who gave death to Concubine Li, Zhai Xiye's mother-in-law.

!

Zhai Xili also stopped here. He also did not answer Zhai Xiyu's question because there was a gap in his heart with his father. Even if he didn't want his father to get into trouble, Zhai Xili would not pray for him!

Since the two imperial brothers did not speak, Zhai Xiyu stopped talking. After the three of them left the Jinluan Palace, they each returned to their own palaces.

After the early dynasty retreated, the people in the capital were the first to hear that Emperor Jian'an was critically ill, and then the news spread throughout the Shengtian Dynasty.

The prince arrived at the harem, passed by many imperial doctors, and ran straight to the dragon bed.

Seeing his purple-faced father lying quietly on the bed, Zhai Xiyou used his inner strength to hear his father's weak breathing.

"You'er, you said the emperor..." Queen Lin Yiren has been staying by the emperor's side in recent days. As long as the emperor wakes up, Lin Yiren can barely smile.

However, as long as the emperor fell asleep, Lin Yiren would cry silently because of sadness and helplessness.

The emperor had not woken up today, and Lin Yiren had been crying for nearly half an hour, but the emperor still did not wake up, so she immediately sent Eunuch Liu to the Jinluan Palace to invite the prince.

"Mother, is there no imperial doctor in the entire Imperial Hospital who can wake up the emperor?" Zhai Xiyou turned around and glanced coldly at a group of trembling imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground.

Lin Yiren shook her head helplessly, "The medical superintendent of Taiyuan Hospital can't do anything. Do you think the people under the medical superintendent can do anything?"

Zhai Xiyou roared angrily, "Can't any of you even find the reason why the emperor is sleeping?"

At this time, a group of kneeling imperial doctors walked out of the medical prison and reported back: "Your Highness, the Emperor is suffering from severe consumption and does not have much time left..."

"Drag him out and behead him. He can even say such unlucky words. Kill him!" Zhai Xiyou was very ruthless. The imperial guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the medical prisoner away.
