Chapter 361 The Emperor Is Seriously Ill
The second prince turned sideways and watched the nanny lift the gauze curtain with his own eyes.

Under the faint candlelight, the 'Grand Concubine' was lying on her side on the bed, her hair hanging by her ear was soaked, she coughed from time to time, her whole back trembled when she coughed, she looked extremely uncomfortable.

The second prince glanced at it, and looked away without finding anything wrong.

The nanny asked her, "Is your mother better?"

Then came a low and hoarse voice, "Nurse, you are here."

Nanny put down the lantern, bent down to ask for warmth, the second prince was bored, and didn't 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 guards who were following him, and said impatiently, "Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau to get some antipyretic medicine, boil it for the concubine mother, and show me the person. If you dare to be lazy, my prince I'm asking you!"

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

Originally, he wanted to hire a doctor for his mother and concubine, but then he remembered that he had just bought sixty hidden guards. The money was gone, so how could he have money to hire a doctor, so the second prince gave up.

He didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor, what if it was found out that he gave the concubine the medicine.

The guard hadn't reacted from the inexplicable nodding just now, but he responded perfunctorily when he heard the second prince's words, "Okay, the younger one must go."

The guards are a bit clever, otherwise they wouldn't have lived under the Second Prince's hands for so long.

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and realized that he seemed to have done something terrible, and he swallowed it into his stomach.

If he told this matter, he might die soon, the guard swallowed, and chose the latter between loyalty and life-saving.

"My prince is gone, lock the door."

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

What a disappointment, the second prince's already gloomy mood became even more gloomy. He walked all the way and found a very strange thing.

It stands to reason that at this time, except for the night guards and patrolling guards, no one else is allowed to move around in the palace, but why are there people coming and going tonight?
Moreover, the eunuchs and court ladies who passed by were all in a hurry, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Could it be that something major happened in the palace?
The second prince thought about it, and ordered the servants around him to find out what happened.

The servant immediately grabbed a young eunuch and asked, "Little eunuch, stay awhile, what happened in this palace, why are everyone so anxious?"

The little eunuch recognized the second prince, and hurriedly saluted him, "So it's His Royal Highness, something really happened, but, just..."

This matter can be big or small, the lowly eunuch dare not speak, fearing that if he says something wrong, his head will be lost.

The second prince frowned, "If you have something to say, why are you hesitating?"

The little eunuch gasped, and said helplessly, "It's the emperor, the emperor coughed up blood in the imperial study, and now Li Gonggong is busy calling the imperial physicians from outside the palace to enter the palace, and the slaves are going to the ward to go out of the palace to buy People, tell them to add some useful medicinal materials, just in case."

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

"The servant dare not speak in vain. If His Royal Highness the Second Prince is fine, the servant will have to leave first. If he messes up the affairs entrusted by Mr. Li, the servant will be questioned."

The little eunuch knew that he had said enough, and if he continued speaking, he might cause disaster, so even if the person in front of him was the second prince, he didn't dare to talk too much.

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 fleeing, his eyes rolled back and forth.

Father is coughing up blood!
These words lingered in his mind, he was worried but also a little bit happy.

According to the practice of the Dashun Dynasty, if the emperor did not have time to leave the imperial decree before his death, then the throne would be passed on to his son, but now that there is no eldest prince, he is the only son of his father.

If……

Thinking of this possibility, the second prince couldn't help trembling. This trembling was not because of fear, but because it was so exciting!
As soon as he thought of this possibility, he turned impatiently and walked quickly towards his father's bedroom, half worried on his face, half smiling strangely, as if he was wearing a fake face.

He walked quickly, leaving behind all the servants who followed him.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, Li Fuquan paced back and forth anxiously, the peacock feather on his hat seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and it seemed to be swaying back and forth with vitality.

"Eunuch Li." The second prince strode up to him, "What's wrong with the father, you are fine, why are you coughing up blood?"

Li Fuquan was startled by the sudden appearance of the Second Prince. He stroked his beating heart, "It turns out to be the Second Highness. This old slave will be scared to death by you!"

At this time Li Fu was engrossed in thinking about the emperor's illness, so there was no need to pay attention to saluting.

But the second prince didn't care, he cared more about his father's condition, so he asked with concern, "Eunuch Li, how is father?"

Li Fuquan shook his head, "The imperial physician is inside, and the servant is also very anxious."

Although this is not the first time the emperor has been ill at night, it is the first time to cough up blood. In the past, it was typhoid and high fever. Never thought that one day it would be so serious.

This caught Li Fuquan by surprise, so much so that he forgot to tell his servants to keep it a secret, but hurriedly invited the imperial doctor. Due to the great commotion, now half the palace knew that the emperor was coughing up blood.

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

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

Li Fuquan choked, he didn't know how to refute, what did the second prince mean by this, did he want to say that he didn't serve the emperor with all his heart?

After a while he sighed again, lamenting the good intentions of the emperor, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, although the emperor has gray temples, his body is still healthy and healthy.

But this is how they, the personal servants, know that over the years, the emperor has begun to be unable to do what he wants. Many times at night, he was unable to sleep due to headaches, and he dared not ask for an imperial doctor. He was afraid that something would happen to him. The power in the court changed rapidly. Out of his control.

The emperor hid it so well that even the second prince didn't know his father's real physical condition.

"Squeak-"

At this time, the imperial doctor came out from the emperor's bedroom.
