Time flies, and more than ten days have passed. Before, the emperor could listen to the cabinet ministers and the six ministers report the court affairs every day. Now, the emperor only has half an hour to take care of the court affairs.

The emperor asked Queen Zheng to stay with him in the palace all the time.

Queen Zheng arranged the concubines together. Every day, the concubines and princes gathered in front of the emperor. When the emperor fell asleep, the concubines and princes would also guard him in the side hall.

"Mother, you have worked hard these days."

Today, Concubine Duan and Concubine Wu are taking care of the patient together.

Prince Heng brought Concubine Liu, and Prince Xu brought Concubine Cui to take care of the patient.

After hearing what Prince Heng said, Prince Xu also spoke.

"Mother, you don't look very well. Let's ask Dean Sun to take a look at you. You need to take care of your health..."

Prince Heng and Concubine Liu both looked at Prince Xu, with anger in their eyes.

Prince Heng felt that he had the closest relationship with his stepmother, Queen Zheng. After all, in the past twenty years, he and his mother had been extremely respectful to Queen Zheng, and they were the closest to their mother among all the princes.

Unexpectedly, Queen Zheng did not respond to his words and did not side with him over the years.

Now that his father is in this state, he has to please Queen Zheng. If anything happens to his father, he can use Queen Zheng's hand to sit in that position.

Whoever Empress Zheng wants to be the crown prince, the Empress Dowager will agree to make him the crown prince.

Prince Fu is so young, a one-year-old child, what can he understand?

Prince Xu, Concubine Wu and others understood very well the methods used by Concubine Duan and Prince Heng. They did not want Prince Heng to gain the upper hand at this moment, so Prince Xu was extremely sweet-talking, and his filial appearance was not a bit inferior to that of Prince Heng.

The Empress Dowager would come to the Emperor's Palace twice a day and stay for half an hour each time.

"Royal Grandmother."

"Is your father awake?"

The Empress Dowager had lost several pounds these days and was even weaker. Although Doctor Sun and Dean Sun tried various methods, the Empress Dowager was too worried and her health did not improve.

"In reply to the Imperial Grandmother, the Emperor is still resting."

Prince Heng answered first.

Prince Xu also stepped forward and showed concern for the Queen Mother's health.

The Empress Dowager looked at the two grandchildren. She had received much more care in the past ten days than in the previous twenty years.

The concubines' attitude towards her was one of filial piety, respect and flattery.

The Empress Dowager knew exactly why they did this.

"Where is Prince Chen?"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Queen Zheng replied.

"To answer mother, Chen'er will come here for more than an hour every day. When Concubine Meng and Concubine Yang are attending to the sick, Prince Chen will also come with them to attend to the sick."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded.

After half an hour, the emperor woke up.

The Queen Mother led everyone into the palace.

"Mother."

"Emperor, how do you feel today?"

When the emperor heard what the Empress Dowager said, he replied with a smile.

"I just drank some medicine, and I feel much better today than I did a few days ago."

Upon hearing the emperor say this, the Empress Dowager immediately summoned Dean Sun and Doctor Sun.

"Go check on the emperor and see if his condition has improved."

After Dean Sun and Doctor Sun examined the patient, Dean Sun spoke.

"In reply to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's health is indeed better than a few days ago..."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Queen Zheng both showed joy on their faces.
