The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Seeing this, Doctor Chen did not doubt at all. He did not even go forward to take the patient's pulse, but directly diagnosed the disease without any explanation.

"The emperor had blood clots in his brain and died due to a lack of blood supply. Madam, have you noticed anything unusual about the emperor's health recently?!"

Aunt Qiu replied, "Yes, the emperor fell and injured his head some time ago. Since that day, he has had nightmares every night. The emperor's diet is often irregular, and recently he has lost his appetite. He also suddenly feels dizzy when walking."

Doctor Chen nodded: "That's right. I diagnose the emperor's pulse every day and remind him to take care of his health all the time. But the emperor is young after all... and he doesn't listen to my advice."

"..."

Aunt Qiu paused and said, "The emperor didn't take your advice to heart at all, which led to a big mistake and his life was lost in vain!!"

Doctor Chen shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Ah, the emperor has no pulse. This matter cannot be concealed. The Regent is not in the capital. I will inform the Lin Palace... and the Yun Palace, and let them arrange the funeral."

"..."

Aunt Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes. How could a mere imperial physician like him know that the Regent was not in the capital?

Many ministers in the court probably didn't know where the regent was, so the more this imperial physician said, the more mistakes he would make.

"Doctor, how did you know that the Regent was not in the capital?"

Doctor Chen looked nervous. He touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "I am just guessing and talking nonsense. Madam, just let it go."

After saying this, Doctor Chen left in a hurry.

At this time, Shen Jingli walked along the secret passage...

The tunnel was dark without any light. It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. She tightly held the jade pendant that Qin Yejue gave her on the night of her birthday party.

Shen Jingli always carries this jade pendant with him and often thinks of the person when he sees it.

She held the jade pendant against her chest and secretly cheered herself up.

The life or death of the secret servant Qin Yejue sent to protect her is unknown, and he also seems to be... in danger.

When Shen Jingli thought of this, he shook his head vigorously. No, Qin Yejue is so powerful, he will definitely be fine! !

One day, they will definitely meet again!

must! !

Shen Jingli's pace quickened. There was endless darkness ahead. She felt that this road seemed to have no end...

Her eyes were slightly moist and she wanted to cry but held it back. Shen Jingli told herself that crying would only waste her energy.

There's no point crying now that he's not here.

Shen Jingli forced back his tears and continued to walk forward with quickened pace.

……

Shen Jingli walked for a long time and finally reached the cave entrance. She saw the light of day again amidst the weeds and mud.

After breathing in the fresh air, Shen Jingli finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what time it was.

At this moment, she was hungry and sleepy, and her legs were trembling slightly...

Shen Jingli hid under a tree. She didn't dare to go to the inn, let alone leave the tunnel entrance rashly.

The main reason was that she was unfamiliar with the area, she was dirty, and she was wearing a dragon robe!!

If you wander around in the middle of the night wearing a dragon robe, you will easily be arrested as a lunatic! !

Shen Jingli squatted under the tree and rested for a quarter of an hour. When her legs were no longer so painful, she chose to climb up the tree first. After hugging the trunk tightly, she stared at the entrance of the tunnel.

If someone came out from inside, they probably wouldn't be suspicious of the nearby trees. In this way, she would be able to determine which direction the pursuers were heading.

Shen Jingli observed for a long time, but saw no movement at the cave entrance, so she dared to take a rest.

……

The sky began to brighten.

Shen Jingli looked up at the sky helplessly with two big panda eyes, what a sin!!!

Last night, she didn't dare to sleep under the tree for fear of being attacked by wild boars or wolves.

Every time she was about to fall asleep while hugging the tree trunk, she had an illusion that she was about to fall, and then she was suddenly awakened. She went back and forth and was unable to fall asleep all night.

----

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

The news of the Emperor's death was announced last night. At the court this morning, all the ministers had solemn expressions.

Shen Jingli's sudden death caught the ministers by surprise.

The emperor did not have a queen, and there was only one imperial concubine in the harem. The emperor's only concubine was unable to give birth to an heir.

The Regent has not attended court for a long time, and Dayuan now does not even have someone in charge.

There are three princes in Dayuan. Now the regent is missing and no one knows where he is.

As for Prince Yun, he has been bedridden for a long time and has to take medicine every day. Now, only Prince Lin can take charge of the government affairs on his behalf.

……

When Prince Lin saw that the ministers were silent, he looked extremely sad and sighed, "Ah, last night, the emperor suddenly fell ill and passed away at such a young age. It's really a pity."

Minister of Rites Gu Wenzhe asked with a serious face, "What was the disease? Why did he die suddenly? "

Just as Prince Lin was about to open his mouth to speak, Shen Xuan interrupted him, "Minister Gu, I'm afraid only the emperor's personal maid can answer these questions."

Prince Lin nodded, "Then let's call Aunt Qiu."

……

Soon, Nanny Qiu came to the Golden Palace with red and swollen eyes. She knelt in the palace and reported to the ministers that the emperor had passed away last night.

"A month ago, the emperor accidentally fell and injured his head. Since then, he has had memory problems and often fails to recognize people. His meals are extremely irregular. He either doesn't eat or overeats. I have advised him several times, but he not only didn't listen, he also loudly scolded me for meddling in other people's business."

She paused and continued, "The emperor often suffers from unbearable headaches in the middle of the night. Doctor Chen always advises the emperor to eat regularly after taking his pulse, but the emperor thinks it is just a minor problem and does not take it seriously. Last night, the emperor had a severe headache and suddenly fell to the ground. When Doctor Chen arrived, he had no pulse."

King Lin said, "Call Dr. Chen here."

Imperial Physician Chen had already been waiting outside the Golden Palace. When he heard the summons, he immediately entered the palace.

He walked quickly to Aunt Qiu's side and knelt down to report: "A month ago, the emperor fell and had blood clots on his brain. Originally... he could have recovered with proper treatment, but the emperor thought he was young and energetic and did not take his condition seriously, which led to an irreparable mistake."

"The emperor passed away, and Prince Lin took it very seriously. He brought the emperor's body to Prince Lin's mansion overnight. If any imperial physician has any doubts, he can go and check it out."

Except for Gu Wenzhe, other ministers were still skeptical but gradually accepted this reality.

After all, Emperor Shen Jingli was a figurehead. In the eyes of the ministers, the emperor was a puppet of the regent two years ago, and now he was the regent's plaything.

Some time ago, the emperor won the favor of the regent and briefly turned the situation around, but he was unlucky and died inexplicably when the regent was away.

In fact...many ministers suspected the cause of the emperor's death, but they did not dare to raise questions rashly.

The ministers wondered how the regent would feel about the emperor's death. What if he got tired of playing with the little emperor and sent someone to assassinate him? !
