After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Prince Qing's Mansion.

The sudden appearance of the emperor's procession scared Prince Qing's people. They were originally in a panic, but when they saw the emperor, they immediately knelt on the ground like turtles.

From the mansion gate to Qin Fengtian's bedroom, the road was full of kneeling servants, and no one dared to look up. The emperor's purpose was also very clear, and he went straight to the bedroom.

As soon as I reached the corridor, I heard crying coming from inside.

"I want my mother! I want my mother!"

"You are all bad people! I don't want to play with you... I want father to arrest you all!"

The emperor paused, and Eunuch Li, who was following closely, almost bumped into his back.

The emperor recognized that it was Qin Fengtian's voice. Although he was extremely angry with his son for not fighting back, he felt a little guilty when things came to this point.

After all, he is also responsible for his son's condition.

If I hadn't beaten him with forty sticks and made him kneel in the Taimiao, perhaps this result wouldn't have happened.

He didn't dare to face it, his fists were clenched tightly, and even his hands were shaking.

Eunuch Li understood him well enough, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, now that you are here, why don't you go in and see the prince?"

The emperor exhaled almost inaudibly and stepped into the room.

The room was in a mess, with teacups and teapots scattered all over the floor. Several maids were kneeling beside him, not daring to move. Several servants were trying to persuade Qin Fengtian, and several doctors were waiting nearby.

Qin Fengtian stood on the table, his hands on his hips and his cheeks puffed out, looking down at everyone, his voice was hoarse, "I said I want my mother!"

The group did not notice the emperor's arrival.

"Your Highness, can you please come down first so that we can ask the Queen to come over?" A servant discussed with him in a gentle voice.

"Yes, my Lord. If the Queen came and saw you being so naughty, she would definitely be angry."

Unexpectedly, Qin Fengtian cried out, crossed his legs, sat on the table and cried, "I want my mother, I don't want the queen, wuwuwu...you are all liars!"

The two servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The emperor stepped into the room. Someone spotted him first and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

The others immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Your Highness!"

Qin Fengtian had his back to him. When he heard the noise, he stopped crying immediately, moved his buttocks, lightened his body, and stared at the emperor blankly.

"Tian'er?" the emperor called out tentatively, fearing that he might not even recognize him.

Unexpectedly, Qin Fengtian pouted and said aggrievedly, "Father, why did you come just now? These people took advantage of you and mother's absence to bully me!"

As soon as Eunuch Li saw the symptoms, he knew it was useless.

He smiled and asked, "Your Highness, the mother you are talking about is Concubine Lan?"

Qin Fengtian's eyes were as big as copper bells. "Do you know my mother?"

Eunuch Li smiled and did not reply. Instead, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the imperial physician take the prince's pulse and see what's going on?"

Qin Fengtian had been making a fuss for so long and refused to let the imperial physician get close to him, and they didn't know what was wrong with Qin Fengtian.

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly and said, "Okay."

After much persuasion, he finally calmed Qin Fengtian down and he agreed to let the imperial physician take his pulse.

Qin Fengtian lay obediently on the bed, smiling innocently. He asked the emperor standing at the end of the bed: "Father, if I obey you, will my mother come to see me?"

The emperor nodded helplessly.

He turned around and gave a wink to Eunuch Li, who understood and quietly retreated, leaving Prince Qing's Mansion and heading straight towards the Imperial Palace.

The Queen also fell ill a few days ago. I don’t know if she has gotten better in the past few days. If she hears the news that her son is mentally retarded again, I’m afraid she won’t be able to hold on.

Eunuch Li felt sorry for it, but he quickened his pace.

The two imperial doctors took turns taking the patient's pulse. After they were done, they looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads.

The emperor was anxious, "What's the matter? What disease does Prince Qing have? Can it be cured?"

The imperial physician looked at Qin Fengtian lying on the bed.

The emperor looked over.

Qin Fengtian's eyes rolled around, and he seemed not to understand why they were looking at him like that.

A royal doctor said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the prince is in this state is because he has had a high fever for several days, which has damaged his brain. That is why his intelligence has declined and his memory has deteriorated."

Another imperial physician said: "The damage caused by the high fever is irreversible. The prince is now in this state. He probably retains his childhood memories, but his intelligence... seems..."

The following statement is self-explanatory. Even if he retains the memory of a ten-year-old, his intelligence may be that of a five-year-old or lower.

The emperor was helpless and calculated the time. When the late queen was alive, the current queen was still Concubine Lan, and Qin Fengtian was only about eight years old. Less than a year after the late queen passed away, Concubine Lan became the queen, and Qin Fengtian was at most nine years old.

Judging from his words, his memory is no more than nine years old.

As for intelligence... Qin Fengtian's intelligence developed later than his peers when he was a child. After his brain was burned, he is probably no different from a mentally retarded child.

The two imperial doctors looked at each other, fearing that the emperor would drag them out and chop them up in a rage.

But the emperor just pondered for a moment and did not get angry. Instead, he asked them if there was any possibility of improvement.

The doctor answered truthfully: "No."

The emperor waved his hand and asked them to leave.

Everyone in the room left in a hurry, and the room became quiet.

The emperor couldn't bear to see Qin Fengtian's foolish look.

Just then, the queen arrived.

On the way, Eunuch Li had told her about Qin Fengtian's general situation. Just now, she met two imperial doctors who were about to leave at the gate of the mansion. The queen asked a few more questions. When she arrived at the room, her eyes were red and she looked desolate.

"Mother!" Qin Fengtian sat up from the bed in surprise when he saw her. He ran to the queen without even putting on his shoes. The redness from crying in the corners of his eyes had not yet faded. He smiled and said, "Mother, you are finally here. I missed you so much."

The queen glanced at the emperor, with hatred and resentment in her eyes. She ignored the emperor and hugged Qin Fengtian in her arms, her voice choked with sobs, "Tian'er, it's mother's fault. It's too late... Poor child."

Qin Fengtian didn't understand why she was crying, and let her hug him helplessly.

The queen cried heartbrokenly, and it was unclear whether she was speaking to herself or to the emperor.

"Tian'er, it is your mother who is sorry for you. You had a high fever for seven or eight days and your mother didn't come to see you. This is what led to the situation today!"

Qin Fengtian pushed her away and wiped her tears with his sleeve, "Mother, Tian'er is fine. Tian'er be obedient, mother, don't cry."

Seeing her son's mentally retarded appearance, the queen felt even more heartbroken.

The emperor was upset by the crying and waved his sleeves and went to the inner corridor.

After a while, the queen also came out.

The couple were only a few steps apart, but there seemed to be a chasm between them. Even if their bodies were close, their hearts were not together.
