Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 435 Fainting
Three nights after little Yuer's first birthday banquet, the emperor, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly fainted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The eunuch shouted twice, but found that he could not wake up the emperor, so he hurriedly called people in, carried the emperor into the inner hall, and asked people to invite the imperial physician, the empress, and Concubine Jing.

Gao Quan also passed the news out of the palace through a secret passage.

Yun Hao, who received the news, went to the study, made some arrangements, and then returned to Linglong Courtyard.

He went to bed quietly and woke up Zhao Wangshu.

"What happened?" Zhao Wangshu asked, yawning.

Yun Hao patted her back soothingly and said softly, "Your Majesty suddenly fainted."

"Are you going to the palace?" Zhao Wangshu opened his eyes and looked at him.

"No, I won't enter the palace. This news was not spread normally. I can't enter the palace." Yun Hao told the truth.

"Have you made arrangements?" Zhao Wangshu asked again.

"Everything is arranged, let's go to bed." Yun Hao reached out and held the person in his arms.

Zhao Wangshu leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Inside Prince Zuo's mansion, Prince Zuo also received the news that the emperor had fainted. He was overjoyed and said to his staff, "God is helping me."

If the emperor faints again, Prince Zuo can serve as regent again.

With the power of regent in his hands, he can do whatever he wants with neutral people like Yun Hao.

If anyone dared to disobey him, he would eliminate them one by one.

"Congratulations, Your Highness." The staff also had smug expressions on their faces, feeling that victory was within sight and that the achievement of following the emperor would be within their grasp.

"I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning. Not only will I stabilize the political situation, I will also catch those who dare to disobey me." There was an ambitious light in Prince Zuo's eyes.

Prince Zuo did not rush into the palace immediately. After all, the emperor was not dead yet, and he could not take it lightly.

In the palace, Concubine Jing was the first to arrive at the imperial study. She hurried into the inner hall and saw the emperor lying on the couch with a pale face and his eyes closed.

She walked quickly forward, sat beside the couch, gently held the emperor's hand, and called in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Please wake up and look at me."

The emperor did not respond. Concubine Jing turned to look at the eunuch and asked anxiously, "Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he come yet?"

The eunuch quickly replied: "We have sent someone to invite him."

After a while, the imperial physician and the empress arrived one after another. Seeing the unconscious emperor, the imperial physician immediately stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse.

The queen stood aside, expressionless, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes.

As the empress, she was not favored by the emperor, had no children, and was even deprived of her jurisdiction over the six palaces. She was looking forward to the emperor's death.

When the emperor died, she became the empress dowager. Our dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the new emperor had to pretend to be filial, so she would not have to be imprisoned in the palace.

The imperial physician felt the emperor's pulse for a long time, then he let go of his hand, turned around and saluted, saying, "Empress, Concubine, your Majesty's pulse is weak. This is due to overwork and the recent hot weather, which caused the heat stroke and fainting."

"What should we do then?" the queen asked in a hurry, pretending to be anxious.

"Your Majesty, I will immediately prepare medicine to calm your heart and regulate your qi and blood. But your Majesty needs to rest for a few days and must not overwork," the imperial physician replied.

"In that case, I will trouble you, my Lord." The Queen glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs and said, "Listen carefully, His Majesty needs to rest, and no one is allowed to disturb you. If you disobey, I will never forgive you." The palace maids and eunuchs agreed in unison. The Queen turned to Concubine Jing and said, "Sister, you are not feeling well, so go back to the palace and rest first. I will be here to guard you."

Concubine Jing was an old resident of the palace. She was older than the empress, but her rank was lower than the empress. The empress deliberately called her sister in order to humiliate her.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your compassion. I have been with Your Majesty for more than twenty years. My heart is entirely on Your Majesty. Even if I go back, I will not be able to sleep well. I will stay here with Your Majesty until He wakes up. I hope Your Majesty will agree." Imperial Concubine Jing hinted that she had been with the Emperor for longer than the Empress.

The queen's eyes darkened slightly, and she smiled faintly, "Sister, you are right. I am also worried that your body will not be able to hold on. Since you insist on staying, then you can stay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Jing sat back down on the couch, very close to the emperor.

The queen pursed her lips and sat in a chair a little further away.

In the bedroom, the candlelight flickered, and the light and shadows were mottled. The Queen and Concubine Jing sat on the couch and chair respectively, but their eyes were cast at the same time towards the pale, unconscious emperor on the couch.

The medicine was quickly boiled and brought in. Imperial Concubine Jing said, "I'll feed it."

"Sister has always been served by others, how can she serve others? It's better not to make trouble. Let them feed the medicine to His Majesty quickly." The Queen stopped them, "Don't delay His Majesty's illness."

Concubine Jing turned her head and glared at her, then stood up unwillingly and gave up her seat.

The eunuchs and palace maids helped the emperor up and fed him medicine with a spoon.

Fortunately, although the emperor was unconscious, he could still swallow.

As soon as she finished feeding him the medicine, Concubine Jing anxiously asked the imperial physician, "When will His Majesty wake up?"

Without waiting for the doctor to answer, the queen said, "I know that you care about Your Majesty, but you are not an ignorant woman. Don't you know that this medicine will not work so quickly after it is taken? We have to wait for a while."

"I am confused because I am concerned, unlike the Empress, who is calm and composed and never panics." Concubine Jing said with a smile.

The queen was choked by these words. Although she was unhappy, she couldn't show it and her face turned cold.

The imperial physician knew that the two ladies were at odds, but he turned a blind eye and bowed slightly, saying, "Your Majesties, your majesty's condition is serious this time because he has been working day and night and is exhausted. Although the medicine has been given, your majesty will not wake up for at least an hour."

"It takes so long as an hour?" asked the Queen with a frown.

"Then I will wait here for an hour." Concubine Jing glanced at the queen and said, "If your Majesty is tired, please go back to the palace and rest."

"My sister is not tired, so how could I be tired? After all, I am a few years younger than you." The queen said while waving her fan.

"What the Queen said is ridiculous and makes no sense." Concubine Jing sneered.

"Sister, how can you be so rude?" the queen asked unhappily.

Imperial Concubine Jing sneered, glanced at the Queen with disdain, and said, "My Queen, I am only telling the truth. Although you are young, you are too worried. You are always worried about the country and the people. You are not like me, who only cares about your Majesty's health."

The queen snorted coldly, "Your Majesty is ill, I won't bother with you."

Concubine Jing rolled her eyes and a sarcastic sneer appeared on her lips.

The two men fell silent, and the hall fell silent again, with only the flickering candlelight and mottled light and shadows.

Suddenly, the emperor on the couch moved, as if he was about to wake up.

Upon seeing this, the Empress and Concubine Jing hurried forward and looked at the Emperor nervously.

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and saw that both of them were there. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes and he asked weakly, "What's wrong with me?"
