The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Xie Ziling walked hurriedly towards the study, but before he entered the study, an anxious voice rang out.

"Uncle, something has happened. Please come with me to the palace."

Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao heard the voice and looked at Xie Ziling together.

"What happened?"

"Uncle, my father has been feeling unwell these days, but he didn't let me tell you. He didn't even go to the morning court this morning."

Xie Ziling glanced at Shen Jingxuan and continued, "Eunuch Deng said that the emperor did not get up today."

There was no morning court. How long has it been since this happened?

Xie Lingxiao frowned slightly: "Didn't Eunuch Deng invite an imperial physician for the emperor?"

Xie Ziling said: "He said that the imperial physician couldn't diagnose and cure father's illness."

Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly, wondering why the emperor suddenly became like this.

In the past, when she and Xie Lingxiao went to nurse the emperor back to health, there was nothing unusual.

As long as he recuperates according to his own method, he may not live many more years, but three to five years should not be a problem.

After all, the emperor was seriously injured because of what Lu Wenxi and Lu Zhong did.

"Xuan'er, can you accompany me to the palace and check on the emperor again?"

Shen Jingxuan responded, stood up and went to the palace with the two of them.

But looking at everything in the imperial study, Xie Lingxiao's lips, which were already pursed, became tighter and tighter. His expression became more and more ugly.

"Old Deng, when do you think the emperor's brother will enter the palace?"

"Will he bring my two nephews with him?"

"If he knew that I was seriously ill and could not attend the morning court, would he come to the palace to see me?"

"..."

The emperor lowered his head and reviewed the memorials, muttering incessantly.

Eunuch Deng looked at the three people who walked into the hall. He wanted to answer the emperor's words, but he swallowed them back.

The emperor waited for Eunuch Deng's answer, but after waiting for a long time, there was no other sound in the imperial study except the sound of him reviewing memorials.

He frowned and looked up at Eunuch Deng, but the moment he looked up, he saw several people standing at the palace gate.

The memorial in the emperor's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Xie Lingxiao said coldly: "Your Majesty, you are really great for being absent from the morning court without any reason."

Lie to him, he heard it.

The emperor raised his hand and pressed it to his chest: "Brother, I am really not feeling well."

After saying this, he looked at Eunuch Deng, and seeing him shaking his head slightly at him, the emperor pursed his lips slightly.

The people guarding outside the imperial study are truly useless.

He had already instructed Eunuch Deng to report in advance when he saw Xie Lingxiao, but those people did not take it seriously.

Xie Lingxiao pursed his lips and said, "In that case, let Xuan'er check your pulse again."

"I think it's not necessary. It's been a long time. I feel better now."

Xie Lingxiao taunted, "Look, it's not that it took so long to get better. The emperor got better naturally after seeing that I was tricked into the palace by you."

Eunuch Deng glanced at the emperor, pursed his lips and stood there motionless.

The emperor did not feel embarrassed at all. He looked at Xie Lingxiao and said, "If my brother brings Xu'er and Le'er here, I can live a few more years."

He knew that Xie Lingxiao would not let him see the two children easily.

It seems that today's work is in vain.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the emperor and saw that his face was a little paler than before, and he looked a little worried.

She came to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, can I check your pulse?"

The emperor suddenly put his hands behind his back and said, "No, I just want to see Xu'er and Le'er, so I deliberately let Eunuch Deng tell a lie."

Eunuch Deng glanced at the emperor, lowered his head again and said nothing.

Sensing a gaze falling on him, he looked up and his gaze met Shen Jingxuan's. He quickly looked away.

"Put your hand out." Shen Jingxuan looked unhappy and her voice became a little colder.

The emperor had never heard Shen Jingxuan speak to him like this. He suddenly raised his head to look at her, but he refused to stretch out his hands behind his back.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan's unhappy expression, Xie Lingxiao came to Shen Jingxuan with a frown.

He didn't believe that Shen Jingxuan would do this for no reason.

Seeing that Eunuch Deng looked guilty, Xie Lingxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Eunuch Deng."

When Eunuch Deng heard his cold voice, his legs couldn't help but tremble. Noticing Xie Lingxiao's gaze on him, he fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty..."

"What did you hide for the emperor?"

The emperor looked unhappy: "Why are you trying to scare him?"

Xie Ziling said: "Father, please explain the matter clearly, otherwise the uncle will be angry."

The emperor frowned and looked at Xie Ziling: "Are you my son or my brother's son?"

Is he only worried about his younger brother being angry, and not worried about his father being angry?

Xie Ziling choked when he heard the emperor's words.

He is only a few years younger than the emperor's uncle, how can he be his son?

Xie Ziling looked at the emperor, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"Aunt Imperial, why don't you show it to father?" As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to his forehead.

"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The emperor glared at Xie Ziling.

Did he think he was blind? He did this in front of him, thinking he couldn't see what he was thinking?

Xie Lingxiao said in a slightly cold voice: "Stretch out your hand and let Xuan'er take your pulse."

Seeing that the emperor still wanted to refuse, Xie Lingxiao continued: "If you are obedient, I will bring Xu'er and Le'er to play in the palace for a day in a few days."

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Really?"

He walked around the imperial desk and came to Xie Lingxiao's side: "Royal brother, are you serious? You can't lie to me."

"really."

Xie Lingxiao glanced at the emperor indifferently.

For some reason, he had the same idea as Xie Ziling at this time.

Who in normal state can do such a thing?

After receiving Xie Lingxiao's affirmative answer, the emperor obediently extended his hand to Shen Jingxuan.

"It's fine as long as you agree. As long as I can see my nephew, whatever my brother says is fine."

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and placed her hand on the emperor's wrist.

Xie Ziling stared at Shen Jingxuan intently. Seeing her beautiful brows getting more and more furrowed, his heart was in his throat and he didn't dare to let it go easily.

After a moment, Shen Jingxuan withdrew her hand and nodded slightly towards Xie Lingxiao.

The emperor's eyes flickered: "I told you it's okay, but you still don't believe me."

Xie Lingxiao said: "Since you have nothing to do, you are not allowed to miss the morning court tomorrow. If you lie to me again, you will never see Xu'er and Le'er again."

"you... ..."

When Xie Lingxiao saw the emperor pointing at him and not knowing what to do, he curled his lips and took Shen Jingxuan back home.

In the study of the Prince Regent's Palace, Shen Jingxuan has been sitting there without saying a word since she returned to the palace.

Xie Lingxiao held her in his arms: "Is there something wrong with the emperor's health?"

Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the emperor doesn't have much time left, at most one year."

Xie Lingxiao was shocked and didn't quite understand what she said.

He remembered that Shen Jingxuan once said that if the emperor was carefully taken care of, he would still live for another three to five years.

But if you count it carefully, only less than two years have passed.

He knew Shen Jingxuan's medical skills, and her words could not be false, but where was the problem?
