Travel through the heavens

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se stood up and frowned even more: "Father fainted! Why did he faint?"

Steward Xu replied, "According to the news from the palace, His Majesty was reviewing memorials when he suddenly fainted. The Imperial Hospital diagnosed that it was a sudden heart attack that caused the fainting. Although it is not life-threatening for the time being, there is no cure. His Majesty has been in a coma. The imperial doctors are at a loss and are helpless. The palace has already sent someone to the Imperial Observatory to invite the Imperial Master."

Ji Xue returned at this time and saw the panicked housekeeper Xu and the solemn expressions of Xiao Se and others. She said, "It seems that you all know it too."

Not long after she walked out of Xueluo Villa, someone from Baixiaotang came with the news that Emperor Mingde had fainted.

Xiao Se nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Langya Army is about to march to the city, but my father fell ill at this moment. This all seems like a carefully planned layout."

Ye Ruoyi agreed, "It does look very similar. If there really was someone planning this, it must have been done by the Scarlet King."

Xiao Se sighed: "My seventh brother is really a traitor and audacious."

He paused, turned to Fang Muye, clasped his fists and bowed: "Senior, Xiao Se has a favor to ask."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "You want me to save your father?"

"Yes." Xiao Se said.

Fang Muye said: "Let Hua Jin go into the palace with you."

Fang Muye didn't want to comment on Emperor Mingde, nor did he want to save him, but since Xiao Se asked for help, he would let Hua Jin take action.

Fang Muye looked at Hua Jin and said, "Xiao Se also said it just now. At this critical moment, Emperor Mingde suddenly fainted. I think someone must have done something wrong. The imperial doctors in the palace didn't find anything unusual. It can be seen that the person's methods are extraordinary. The one who can do this should be the ghost doctor Ye Ya. When you enter the palace, pay more attention to him."

Before, when Xiao Chong had his eyes replaced, a medicine man from Western Chu attacked Xueluo Villa at night.

After the fall of Western Chu, only the Medicine King Valley retained the method of refining medicine men. Xin Baicao would never do such a thing, and Bian Suchen had died long ago. The only possibility was that the ghost doctor Ye Ya was still alive and had already joined the Red King's Palace.

Hua Jin nodded: "I understand, Master. I will pay more attention. Xiao Se, when are we going?"

Xiao Se took a step forward: "There is no time to lose, let's go into the palace now."

"Okay, disciple, follow me." Hua Jin patted Mu Chunfeng, who had been staring at Ji Xue.

"Oh, okay, Master." Mu Chunfeng was startled and responded quickly.

As Xiao Se and the other two walked out of the yard, they ran into Marquis Lan Yue, who was dressed in gorgeous golden clothes.

Lan Yuehou looked at Xiao Se and the other two and said, "Are you... going to enter the palace?"

Xiao Se nodded: "Yes, why are you here, uncle?"

"Of course, I'm here to ask Brother Fang to come to the palace to treat your father." Marquis Lan Yue sighed, "The Imperial Master and Xie Jijiu are helpless with your father's illness. They can only help him wake up temporarily."

Xie Jijiu was Xie Xuan. He had worked as a doctoral student of the academy in Tianqi City for several years. At that time, his favorite person to visit was the imperial teacher. It happened that he was staying in the Imperial Observatory these days, and the palace sent someone to invite Qi Tianchen, so Xie Xuan also went to the palace with him.

Xie Xuan was originally a Confucian scholar. After reading thousands of books and understanding all the affairs of the world, he stepped into the realm of Confucian sage. He could become a saint by picking up a pen, a sword immortal by holding a sword, and he was also the best in the world when he picked up a medicine box.

When Ye Ruoyi was born, she was diagnosed with congenital heart failure by the Imperial Medical Bureau and was expected to live no more than ten days. Ye Xiaoying then invited famous doctors from all over the world to come to Beijing, including Sikong Changfeng, the descendant of the King of Medicine, Qi Tianchen, the director of the Imperial Observatory, and Xie Xuan, the Confucian swordsman.

Fang Muye is an expert doctor with unparalleled medical skills. Although not many people know this, Lan Yuehou happens to be one of them. Moreover, he is a world-famous immortal, so he came to Xueluo Villa in person to invite him.

Xiao Se said: "Senior Fang has already made arrangements. Hua Jin and I will go to the palace to treat my father."

Although Marquis Lan Yue was somewhat disappointed that Fang Muye was not invited, he did not underestimate Hua Jin. After all, she had demonstrated her amazing medical skills when she replaced the eyes of Prince Bai Xiao Chong.

Lan Yuehou nodded: "Okay, then let's hurry back to the palace."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, even if that wall is the high and solid wall of the imperial palace.

The news that Emperor Mingde had fainted due to heart disease quickly spread throughout Tianqi City. For a moment, the court and the public were shocked, and the three edicts issued by Emperor Mingde turned this shock into worry, fear, suspicion and restlessness.

The first decree was that Marquis Lan Yue and Grand Tutor Dong Zhu would jointly supervise the country and manage all affairs of Beili.

This decree was not a big deal. The last time Emperor Mingde went on a diplomatic mission, it was Marquis Lan Yue who was in charge of regents. And this time, he must have considered that falling ill would be more likely to cause a shock in the court than going on a diplomatic mission, so he asked the highly respected Grand Tutor Dong Zhu to co-regent.

The second decree was that Tianqi City would be sealed off for one month, and all civil officials below the second rank were not allowed to enter or leave, and all military officers above the second rank were not allowed to leave the palace.

This decree was even more profound. The second-rank civil officials were not allowed to enter or leave because when the court was in chaos, the most feared thing was that the literati would confuse the people. And all the second-rank military officers were not allowed to leave the palace because no matter how much the literati could confuse the people, without the soldiers holding the sword, there would be no chaos.

The third decree was to hand over the tiger talisman of Wang Litian's army, the army of the emperor's relatives, and the half-tiger talisman of the three armies to Prince Yong'an Xiao Se, and allow him to act according to the circumstances.

This decree was even more profound. It not only warned those powerful officials who were trying to cause chaos, but also warned that if they dared to act rashly, Prince Yong'an could act according to the decree. At the same time, it also showed the emperor's trust and attention to Prince Yong'an, and perhaps revealed some other meanings.

You know, up to now, Emperor Mingde has not put pen to paper on the Dragon Seal Scroll, and the crown prince has not yet been decided. There are three princes in Tianqi City who have been conferred the title of king, but His Majesty gave the tiger talisman to King Yong'an. The meaning contained in this is really something that one cannot help but think deeply about.

In short, three orders were passed to the ears of the court officials: one was to protect the country, the second was to prevent chaos, and the third was to shock the people. The emperor's intentions were obvious, but behind this too obvious intention, an too obvious fact was also revealed.

This time, Emperor Mingde was really seriously ill.

Therefore, even with the threat of the three decrees, some people's minds could not help but be moved.

The atmosphere in Tianqi City suddenly became much more solemn, just like the weather at the moment. The sky was covered with dark clouds, dull and depressing, as if a huge storm was brewing.

And in this atmosphere, a carriage drove into Tianqi City and stopped in front of Xueluo Villa.
