"What?" Zhang Zong and Li Chongye all stood up when they heard that Wu Meiniang was critically ill. Then they looked at each other and showed incredible expressions, because in their impression, Wu Meiniang's body was always very healthy.

"Have the imperial doctor gone?" Li Chongye soon reacted and immediately asked the eunuch. Although he didn't like Wu Meiniang, the other party was his grandmother after all, so he still had to have the etiquette he should have.

"The imperial doctor has arrived and is treating the Empress Dowager, but it is said that the situation is not very good." The eunuch replied again.

"Have you notified the princess?" Zhang Zong also asked at this time. Wu Meiniang is Taiping's mother after all, and she must know about such a big thing.

"Someone has been sent to inform me." The eunuch replied.

"Sir, let's go and have a look with me!" Li Chongye also spoke again at this time.

Zhang Zong nodded when he heard this, so the two of them came to the palace where Wu Meiniang lived in the harem. Queen Mother Pei and others had already arrived here. Everyone had a sad look on their faces, but this sadness was only on the surface, and many people could not hide the excitement in their eyes. After all, there were not a few people who hated Wu Meiniang in the palace.

"Mother, how is the Empress Dowager?" Li Chongye immediately stepped forward and asked Empress Dowager Pei.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. The imperial doctor has been in for a long time. I came out once before, but it was just said that the Empress Dowager was in serious condition and had not woken up yet." Empress Dowager Pei replied anxiously. She had no grudges with Wu Meiniang, and even if she could become Li Hong's wife, I would like to thank Wu Meiniang for her.

"Has the Empress Dowager always been in good health? Why did he suddenly get sick?" Zhang Zong couldn't help but ask. In his memory, Wu Meiniang lived a very long life. Even if she was forced to abdicate, she lived for nearly a year before she died. She was eighty-one years old, which was very long among the emperors of all generations.

When she heard Zhang Zong’s inquiry, Empress Dowager Pei sighed, and then she explained the reason for Wu Meiniang’s illness.

Speaking of which, after Wu Meiniang was placed under house arrest, she became very irritable and punished the palace maids and eunuchs around her at any time. For this reason, Empress Dowager Pei also advised her many times, but it was useless.

As time goes by, Wu Meiniang's temper becomes more and more irritable. Everyone who is healthy knows that the most important thing in health care is to nourish the heart. If the emotions fluctuate, it will definitely affect the body. This is the case with Wu Meiniang.

Today was the birthday of another concubine in the palace. Queen Pei also asked someone to prepare a banquet and summoned the concubines in the palace to gather together. Of course, Wu Meiniang, as the Empress Dowager, must have received an invitation.

Originally, Wu Meiniang didn't attend such gatherings in the palace. Although Empress Dowager Pei knew this, she still sent the invitation according to etiquette. The other party did not come, and she didn't care. She was very happy to get together.

However, just after the banquet was halfway through, Wu Meiniang came suddenly, and when she saw Empress Dowager Pei and others, she was furious, saying that they did not invite her at the party. Although Empress Dowager Pei repeatedly explained that she had sent the invitation, Wu Meiniang didn't listen at all, but became even more angry. As a result, when she got angry, she suddenly fell ill and fell to the ground and was unconscious. This happened later.

Zhang Zong was also very surprised when he heard this. He then carefully asked about the condition of Wu Meiniang when he was sick. As a result, he quickly determined that Wu Meiniang might have had a disease such as cerebral hemorrhage. This disease usually has no symptoms at all, but when it suddenly occurs, it can kill people, especially for the elderly.

What’s worse is that even if the patient wakes up later, hemiplegia and hemiplegia may be left with sequelae such as hemiplegia and hemiplegia. Later generations may be able to recover with developed medical care, but under the current conditions, if there are really sequelae, it may only be possible to recover by the patient themselves.

"Sir, what disease do you think the Empress Dowager is suffering from?" Li Chongye also found that Zhang Zong was in deep thought, so he came over and asked in a low voice. After all, he knew that Zhang Zong also knew medical skills and often had amazing insights into some difficult and complicated diseases.

"It's hard to say, but it's likely that it's a cerebral hemorrhage. If you can wake up, you may leave some serious sequelae." Zhang Zong said the truth.

At this time, Zhang Zong also understood that in history, Wu Meiniang could live to 81 years old, in addition to maintenance, the most important thing was that her desire for power was satisfied, so her mood was much more peaceful than now.

But now Wu Meiniang is almost under house arrest in the palace. Not to mention power, even freedom is restricted. In addition, the women in the palace are not easy to deal with. Even if they maintain respect for her on the surface, they secretly do not know how many bad things that people with hatred with her have done. However, there is not even a person who can use it around Wu Meiniang, even if she has the ability, she has no choice. This has greatly affected her temperament.

Wu Meiniang, who lost power, was like a fish that had lost water, and her physical condition worsened, so it was not surprising that she suddenly became ill now.

After hearing Zhang Zong's words, Li Chongye also showed a thoughtful look, but his face was calm, making people unable to guess what he was thinking? But this is normal. After all, he is the emperor, and the first lesson he learned is to hide his thoughts, otherwise he would not be able to rule the ministers.

Zhang Zong was also thinking about his thoughts at this time. He was considering the possible impact of Wu Meiniang's illness or even death. However, Wu Meiniang has not been in contact with the government for a long time, and the gangsters she cultivated at the time were all separated. So even if she really died, she would not have any big impact, but...

Just as Zhang Zong thought of this, his brows also frowned slightly, and there was a burst of rapid and familiar footsteps outside the hall. Then Taiping, who had a sad face, rushed in quickly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was obviously crying on the road.

"Husband, mother... how is she liked by mother?" Taiping immediately ran forward and asked with a worried look when he saw Zhang Zong at first sight. But as soon as he spoke, tears came out first.
