After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

After getting off the carriage, the eunuchs from Yikang Palace were already waiting. When they saw Chu Nanyue appear, they hurriedly came forward to greet her respectfully: "Your servant greets the Princess of Yan. Please come in, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you."

Chu Nanyue nodded and asked, "Why did the Royal Grandmother suddenly faint?"

“Princess Yan, Prince Chen accidentally contracted the plague. The Queen Mother became so angry after hearing the news that she fell into a coma.” The young eunuch’s voice trembled, and he was obviously shocked by the news.

What? Xiao Yihang was infected with the plague?

Chu Nanyue's heart trembled when she heard it.

The plague has broken out in Youzhou for more than two months, and now even Xiao Yihang has been infected. I'm afraid the situation has become so serious that it is difficult to control.

Chu Nanyue was anxious, and without bothering to ask anything, she quickened her pace and followed the eunuch into Yikang Palace.

Entering the Queen Mother's bedroom, she saw the doctors busy going in and out, while the Queen Mother was lying on the bed, her face pale and her breath weak. Chu Nanyue hurried forward to check the Queen Mother's pulse, but found that her pulse was weak and weak...

She asked Doctor Wen in surprise, "Doctor Wen...Why is the Empress Dowager so weak?"

It's the end of life...

Doctor Wen subconsciously glanced at the emperor beside him, and then said very carefully: "Master, the Queen Mother has been in poor health for a long time. She has been relying on tonic medicine to keep herself alive. The sudden news that Prince Chen has been infected with the plague is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Queen Mother. She is already old and weak, and her anxiety has caused her condition to deteriorate rapidly."

The emperor suddenly asked with a sullen face: "The blood of the Heavenly Fragrance Dragon can prolong life, why did my mother become like this after taking it?"

Didn’t his mother seem to be in much better spirits recently?

His words frightened Doctor Wen so much that his heart could not help but tremble, but he still pretended to be calm and explained, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Fragrance Dragon Blood is indeed extremely precious and has a miraculous effect of prolonging life, but it is only an external force after all. The Queen Mother is old and her body functions are gradually declining. In addition, she has been relying on drugs for a long time, which has led to the accumulation of toxins in her body and damaged the function of her internal organs. The news that Prince Chen has been infected with the plague is undoubtedly a double whammy for the Queen Mother, making her already weak body even more unbearable."

After hearing this, Chu Nanyue suddenly realized.

No wonder the Queen Mother didn't let her feel her pulse that day, she already knew her condition...

It turns out that the Queen Mother really needed the Heavenly Fragrance Dragon Blood to prolong her life, but she actually gave it to the Prince of Yan...

She is now terminally ill and incurable, and has undoubtedly given her chance of survival to King Yan...

Thinking of this, Chu Nanyue looked at the Queen Mother with eyes full of admiration and heartache.

At this moment, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked at the people in the room. She said weakly, "Ahem... Everyone, step back. I have something to say to the Emperor!"

Hearing this, Chu Nanyue leaned forward and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Queen Mother: "Yueyue, stay!"

After everyone left, the Queen Mother slowly sat up with Zhu Ruo's help. She looked at the Emperor with a heavy face, "Emperor, you also know about the Queen Mother's condition, right? The Queen Mother will not live for many days!"

The emperor frowned and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Your son will definitely seek out famous doctors to treat you..."

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Doctors treat illnesses but not the heart. The Emperor should know that this is a heart disease for the Queen Mother!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows furrowed even deeper. He sighed softly, "Since my mother knows, I should relieve myself!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Nanyue was shocked. This dog emperor was really unfilial. Now that his mother was about to pass away, his attitude was still so tough.

She guessed that the Queen Mother might want the Emperor to let them return to Yanzhou, because the Queen Mother had promised her that she would never separate them.

As expected, she heard the Queen Mother say, "Only the Emperor can resolve this matter. I know that the Third is a good child. He is the son of the woman you love the most, so I can understand that you favor him more. But the Fourth and Seventh are also your children. They have your blood flowing in their veins. How can you be so partial to one and mistreat the other?"

After a pause, she rested for a while before continuing to say to the emperor: "It is useless for me to say more. Since the fourth brother is already blind, let's clear him of the charges, make Yanzhou his fiefdom, and allow him to live in peace for the rest of his life!"

She figured it out: the safest place for the fourth brother would be if he stayed in Yanzhou!

She could never protect him!

The emperor sneered, "Even though my mother is in such a state, she still cares about that wicked child! I guess my mother also secretly gave her life-saving medicine, the Heavenly Fragrance Dragon Blood, to that wicked child, right?!" After that, he said to Chu Nanyue, "Right, Princess Yan?"

He stared at Chu Nanyue, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

There's the Ice Demon Blood and the Heavenly Fragrance Dragon Blood... Could it be that the evil boy really found a way to cure his eyes?

Feeling the emperor's anger, Chu Nanyue immediately fell to her knees.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother quickly came to the rescue and said, "Emperor, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Yan. Han'er has contracted a serious disease. Are you going to let me watch my grandson die of illness? I gave him the child. Why, does the Emperor want to punish the Queen Mother?"

Because she was too emotional, she started coughing violently after saying this.

Chu Nanyue quickly stood up and patted her back carefully: "Grandmother, please don't get too excited..."

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but relax his tone: "Mother, you misunderstood. How dare I punish you? Regarding... the matter of the fourth child, your son will discuss it with the court officials!"

As long as the King of Yan behaves himself, he can give him this respectable gift, after all, he is his son...

And King Chen...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

Of course not against King Chen, but against the plague.

If the plague cannot be controlled, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the court.

Because if too many people die, it will cause panic among the people... and thus cause rumors to spread everywhere...

As the true dragon emperor, he naturally hoped that his rule would be prosperous and peaceful, rather than being unable to effectively control even a small plague, which would undoubtedly be a provocation to his dragon power.

He cursed under his breath: "It's no use!"

He blamed all this on Xiao Yihang's incompetence. He couldn't control a plague in two months!

So he went to the imperial study and called his most trusted ministers to discuss the matter.

The old minister of the Ministry of Justice said: "Your Majesty, the plague in Youzhou has reached an uncontrollable level. In my opinion, the most urgent task is to send all the imperial doctors and various medicinal materials to the epidemic area as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the blockade and isolation measures in the epidemic area to prevent the further spread of the epidemic. In addition, we also need to issue the court's appeasement measures in a timely manner to stabilize the people's hearts and avoid the spread of panic."

However, his good plan immediately attracted the opposition of Xu Ming, the Minister of Rites: "No, the Imperial Hospital already has a limited number of doctors, and now the Queen Mother is in poor health, so it is even more stretched. This will bring great hidden dangers to the palace. It is absolutely not allowed. In my humble opinion, we should find famous doctors from the public. Although they are not in the Imperial Hospital, they are also skilled in medicine and have rich practical experience, especially in these difficult diseases. Your Majesty should recruit them with a large sum of money and send them to treat this plague."

The emperor suddenly looked at Xiao Jun'an and said, "An'er, wasn't your previous concubine from Medicine King Valley?"

Xiao Jun'an's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He bowed his head and said, "Father, this is Yanzhou Medicine King Valley. The owner of the valley is the grandfather of the Princess of Yan. At this time, my fourth brother is also recuperating in the Medicine King Valley."

Upon hearing this, the emperor was indeed confused: "The Prince of Yan actually entered the Medicine King Valley?"

He had already ordered his people to withdraw from Yanzhou and no longer paid attention to the movements of King Yan. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a member of Yaowang Valley?

It seems that the rumors are not groundless...

After all, Yanzhou Medicine King Valley can even develop magical drugs like antibiotics...

A pair of eyes... maybe it's not impossible...

This is exactly what Xiao Junan was worried about.

But Yaowang Valley was like an iron wall, and with the covert help of Ji Qingfeng, the prefect, Chu Zhaoyu's men were no match...

The only solution now is to let the King of Yan come out on his own...

Sure enough, the old emperor's thoughts coincided with his.

"Since Princess Yan learned from Yanzhou Yaowang Valley, let Princess Yan go to Youzhou to control the plague. Firstly, it can show our royal family's determination to control the plague and stand together with the people. Secondly, it can also give Prince Yan a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious contributions!"
