The prime minister reported with grief: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better not to tell Concubine Wan about this matter! Lest she get upset!" After all, they still have hope. For the sake of the people of the world, this cruel tyrant must be replaced!

However, Emperor Yuxuan didn't care at all, and even showed a look of disdain: "Huh? How can this be possible? Since the rebellious son is Concubine Wan's son, and since the son has passed away, how can he not inform his mother?"

The ministers prostrated themselves on the ground and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, how can Concubine Wan bear the pain of losing her child? What if the dragon fetus is not safe..."

Emperor Yuxuan impatiently swung his dragon sleeves and roared: "My Concubine Wan is not such a fragile person. No matter how much we hide it, it will eventually be known. It will be painful whether it is true or not! I have more than one concubine in my harem. Am I still afraid of not having a dragon heir? Besides, I don't need one at all now!"

After hearing this, the ministers felt helpless and sad. On the surface, this tyrant seemed to be extremely fond of Concubine Wan, but in fact, it was all false.

Emperor Yuxuan only cared about his own enjoyment and didn't care about the suffering of the people. He imposed heavy taxes and levied heavy taxes, making the people live in misery. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he wantonly extorted the people's wealth and made the people live in dire straits.

He also abused torture, and anyone who disobeyed him would be brutally tortured or even killed. He was even more ruthless to those ministers who dared to speak out and make suggestions, dismissing them from office at the least and executing their entire family at the worst.

Now, facing the death of his own son, he can still laugh so mercilessly, how can people not hate him to the core! His actions have long made people all over the world despise him, and they only hope that a righteous man will stand up soon to overthrow his tyranny and bring peace to the world.

At this time, a young eunuch came hurriedly with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" The young eunuch trotted all the way to the front of the hall, panting. He knelt down heavily with a "thump", prostrated himself on the ground, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Empress Wan has had her bleeding, I'm afraid, I'm afraid the dragon fetus will be in danger."

This sound was like thunder, and the ministers present stared at each other in astonishment. Some couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "God is really blind! Emperor Yuxuan, who can you blame for the sins you have committed?"

In the palace, Emperor Yuxuan had just received the news from the North. Although he was not in a heavy mood, he was still agitated! At this moment, he was even more shocked to hear that Concubine Wan had such a big incident.

"Why?" His eyes widened, his brows knitted, his voice full of majesty and anger. How could Concubine Wan get into trouble at this critical moment? He hadn't sent anyone to inform the North of the situation yet!

The young eunuch trembled and replied, "Yes, it was the Emperor's Concubine Wang and Concubine Su. They got the false information that His Highness had passed away from somewhere, and they came into the Huajing Palace crying. As a result, Concubine Wan fainted on the spot, and then, she had bleeding."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuxuan's eyes bulged with anger, veins on his forehead jumped, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and he cursed with gritted teeth: "These women are really brooms! I haven't even spoken yet! How dare they act so recklessly!"

The ministers saw the emperor standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do. A brave minister shouted loudly, "Quickly call the imperial physician."

"Tai, the imperial physician has already left." The young eunuch responded stutteringly.

"This is just nonsense!" The emperor was furious. He rushed out of the hall with a wave of his sleeves and headed to Huajing Palace anxiously. He had just lost a son, and now the only remaining dragon fetus was in danger. The emperor without an heir was ridiculed.

Emperor Yuxuan came to Huajing Palace in a hurry. Before he stepped into the palace gate, he first saw Concubine Wang, Good Lady Su and seven or eight other good ladies and beauties kneeling on the ground, crying one after another, and the crying was very "lively".

"Sister, please accept my condolences and don't be too sad! Your health is important." These seemingly caring words, coupled with their artificial expressions, if seen by someone who doesn't know them, they might sigh that this scene is so touching and full of sisterly love!

But how could Emperor Yuxuan not know about their jealousy? These women usually fight for favor, openly and secretly, and do everything they can. Now that Concubine Wan is in trouble, they pretend to care about her on the surface, but in fact they may be secretly laughing in their hearts.

Emperor Yuxuan was furious and roared, "Get out of here!" The voice was like thunder, shaking the entire palace. The concubines were frightened like frightened birds, their faces turned pale, and there was no trace of the "affectionate" look just now.

They rolled and crawled, fluttering and running away, fearing that the emperor's anger would burn on them. Emperor Yuxuan didn't care about these women and walked quickly into the inner hall.

I saw more than a dozen imperial doctors busy with their work, some prescribing medicine, some dispensing medicine, some discussing, some doing acupuncture, some doing massage. When they saw the emperor coming, they all bowed and said, "Your Highness!" Emperor Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "No need to bow, just do your work. How is Concubine Wan doing?"

His voice was filled with urgency and anxiety, and his eyes were fixed on the unconscious Concubine Wan on the bed. He didn't want to lose his son just now, and this baby died just after it came. If this was true, without children, he would always be considered an incompetent emperor.

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a trace of regret and self-blame in his heart. The leading imperial physician replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, we are incompetent. We are now preparing a special medicine for Concubine Wan to preserve the fetus. If there is improvement in three days, the dragon fetus will be preserved. If you still have bleeding, please forgive us for our incompetence and punish us, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yuxuan frowned and his face became terribly gloomy. He slowly walked to the bedside, sat down, and reached out to hold Concubine Wan's hand. She was still calling Sikong Yan's name in her coma, and her voice was weak but full of pain and fear.

Emperor Yuxuan suddenly felt that his actions were right or wrong. He had sacrificed everything for power, ambition, and immortality, even his beloved woman.

But now, seeing Concubine Wan in such pain, his heart was also full of contradictions and struggles. He tightly grasped the fragrant and soft hand of his beloved concubine and said softly: "My beloved concubine, I'm sorry for wronging you!"

His voice was full of guilt and helplessness. He knew that for the sake of his throne and eternal life, he had no choice but to become ruthless.

But behind this ruthlessness, his heart was also suffering tremendous pain and torment. At this time, the Huajing Palace was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

The sunlight outside the window shone through the window lattice onto the ground, but it could not dispel the gloom in the room. Emperor Yuxuan looked at Concubine Wan's pale face and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he must protect the child and make sure Concubine Wan is safe.

He turned his head and looked at the busy imperial doctors, his eyes full of determination and majesty, "You must do your best. If anything happens to Concubine Wan and the dragon fetus, you will be beheaded!"

The imperial doctors sensed the emperor's anger and nodded in agreement, working even harder to treat Concubine Wan.
