Qianyuan Palace, Zhou Qi's bedroom, was quiet, and when he entered the main hall, he smelled a faint smell of medicine.

Empress Liu said apologetically, "Uncle Cheng Huang, wait a moment, I will go in and see if His Majesty is awake."

Prince Cheng was the first to stop.

After about a quarter of an hour, the nuns beside Empress Liu came and invited everyone to the bedroom.

Although Zhou Qi's bedroom was extraordinarily spacious, it was still a bit difficult to accommodate so many people, so Prince Cheng only brought three members of the clan, Duke Zheng only brought three honorable and veteran ministers, and the three princes and nine ministers all went in.

Empress Liu ordered someone to hang up Minghuang's bed curtain, and personally went over to help Zhou Qi sit up.

Zhou Qi's complexion was sallow, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were pale. Just sitting up took a lot of energy. After panting for a while, he drank half a cup of tea in Empress Liu's hand before feeling better. He asked feebly: "What's the matter here, gentlemen?"

Prince Cheng led the crowd to worship, and then said: "Your Majesty is in great prosperity for a long time, so it is reasonable to say that this matter should not be mentioned, but now that His Majesty's dragon body is ill, the important affairs of the court cannot be delayed.

"Although there are courtiers and the second prince temporarily presiding over it, the name is not justified.

"So I beg your majesty to establish a reserve as soon as possible, so as to make the family safe."

Zhou Qi closed his mouth tightly, a cold light flickered in his eyes, and a faint flush appeared on his face.

Empress Liu hurriedly leaned over to caress his chest, and said in a low voice, "Does your majesty feel chest tightness? If you think it's inappropriate at this time, you can postpone the discussion..."

Zhou Qi closed his eyes.

Empress Liu hurriedly shouted: "Quick, get on the spittoon!"

The maids and eunuchs hurriedly walked, some lowered the curtain, some were ordered to bring spittoons, some brought clean water for mouthwash, and some even prepared the incense to be used later.

Across a curtain, all the ministers could only see blurred shadows in a hurry.

The sound of Zhou Qi vomiting really came, followed by the sound of being waited on rinsing his mouth and cleansing his face.

Prince Cheng frowned, and turned his head to exchange worried glances with the clan and the officials.

Later, Empress Liu walked out from the curtain, sweating slightly on her face, and said with a worried look on her face: "Everyone, you see... Your Majesty is always like this these days, and he looks better today, I think... ...Who would have thought that after walking in front of the Empress Dowager's spirit once, then..."

I couldn't help crying.

Prince Cheng was heartbroken, "The more this is the case, the more we cannot delay the establishment of the crown prince!"

Another half an hour later, Zhou Qi's voice came from inside. Perhaps his throat was uncomfortable after a lot of tossing, and his voice was a little hoarse. He asked, "Who do you think is the right candidate, Zhu Qing?"

"Of course it's the First Prince!" Zheng Guogong said first, "The First Prince is the son of the Empress Yuan, and he was raised under the Empress Dowager's lap since he was a child. Naturally, he is the prince..."

Before the words were finished, Liu Fu rushed in in a panic, "Your Majesty is not good!"

Prince Cheng shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, you slave!"

Liu Fu was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees, "My lord, calm down!"

Empress Liu blinked, "Liu Fu? Didn't I ask you to find the eldest prince? Why did you come back with this description?"

The hat on Liu Fu's head was gone, one of his boots was missing, and his clothes were even more messy.

He kowtowed before he dared to speak, "The slave couldn't find the First Prince in the palace, so he left the palace and went to the First Prince's Mansion...

"The magistrate said that the eldest prince went to Wancheng County Lord's Mansion, and the servant rushed to the Princess Mansion again. The Eldest Prince was knocking on the door outside the Princess Mansion, saying that he wanted...to..."

He stuttered and couldn't speak.

Empress Liu was still not doing much, Prince Cheng kicked him first: "Hurry up and say it!"
