Chapter 156 His Majesty Collapses
Soon, the court officials arrived.
Emperor Jing'an dragged his seriously ill body to the main hall. He was too sick to see anyone, so he ordered Eunuch Fu Hai to put up a gauze curtain in front of the dragon throne to cover his face.
The court officials had not seen Emperor Jing'an for a long time, and when they were suddenly hurriedly gathered together, they subconsciously thought that he was going to re-appoint the crown prince.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing'an was not talking about the matter of appointing a crown prince, but instead talked about another matter with great concern.
"I mentioned the withdrawal of the Golden Scale Nation a few days ago, but now... cough cough cough...something has happened. The thing I was most worried about has happened."
Emperor Jing'an coughed every two sentences.
"The princess of the Golden Scale Kingdom, Jin Yinxi, died in Yunli. The news has not yet spread, but the Golden Scale Kingdom will eventually know it." He half-lay on the dragon throne, holding on to his breath and said, "We must come up with a countermeasure, so that the Golden Scale Kingdom will not know the princess's death in the future, but do not know the reason, and use this as an excuse to start a war."
The Jinlin Kingdom had always been eyeing the Yunli Kingdom, but had never found a chance to attack. Now, the Jinlin Kingdom's princess had died in the Yunli Kingdom, and she was the only princess of the Jinlin Kingdom. One can imagine how great the anger from the Jinlin Kingdom was.
If this matter cannot be resolved amicably, the Golden Scale Kingdom will publicize it widely and the Yunli Kingdom will only become the target of public criticism.
One of the ministers stepped forward and said, "The princess of the Golden Scale Kingdom left the country without permission and ended up in the territory of the Yunli Kingdom. Unfortunately, she died. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Emperor Jing'an was furious when he heard this and rebuked him, "Shut up! You actually have such thoughts on such an important matter!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I...I..."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Jing'an was furious, and none of his ministers dared to speak. They only knew that the Princess of Jinlin Kingdom had died, but they did not know the inside story. They wanted to speak but did not know where to start.
"Prime Minister Song, you speak!"
Emperor Jing'an coughed several times, took a deep breath, glanced at Prime Minister Song who was standing in the front, and asked him to speak.
Prime Minister Song has always been cautious. The Yunli Kingdom is in a turbulent time and he cannot afford to offend the emperor at this time. He lowered his head and dared not say a word. Now that Emperor Jing'an called him to answer, he did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Eunuch Fu Hai calmly.
Looking at Eunuch Fu Hai's anxious and worried expression, he knew that today's incident should not be underestimated, and the princess's death was not that simple.
In the past, the emperor would not have summoned all the ministers with such fanfare. He would have called them together only when he had a plan in mind. Now he is just trying any possible means to help his situation.
He recalled that at home, Song Yuanbai accidentally said that the emperor was ill. At first he didn't believe it, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
I guess he is seriously ill and won't have much time left.
"Your Majesty, we must see the princess alive or dead. If the information is true, before the war breaks out, our country must sincerely repent and send the princess's body back to the Kingdom of Golden Scale in one piece. All the etiquette must be in place to silence the world's gossip. If the information is not true, the princess is not dead, but someone else died, then we just need to send people to search until we find the location. The Kingdom of Golden Scale probably sent spies to look for the princess on the day she was lost. If this news is true, the Kingdom of Golden Scale will know it in a few days."
After much deliberation, Prime Minister Song finally said the last sentence. If the person was really dead, it would be impossible to hide it.
He was more inclined to believe that the princess was not dead.
As soon as Prime Minister Song said this, everyone felt it was a good idea.
Emperor Jing'an felt better now. After listening carefully, he felt that what Prime Minister Song said made sense.
There are some things that he cannot hide just because he wants to. He knows everything that is going on in Kyoto. Except for his sons, those with darker minds than him cannot be figured out by him.
In the end, he was hurt by the poison. Now he is not as good as Prime Minister Song in thinking about these things.
Emperor Jing'an was silent for a long time, coughed twice and said, "What Prime Minister Song said is very much in my heart, so I will do as Prime Minister Song said!"
Emperor Jing'an didn't need to say anything more. The people who helped him collect intelligence on a daily basis immediately left the hall. Now it seemed that these ministers came here just for the sake of formality.
Emperor Jing'an was tired. His breathing was heavy and his eyelids were droopy. He turned his head slightly to look at Eunuch Fu Hai, signaling him to adjourn the court.
Eunuch Fu Hai announced in a pinched voice that the court was adjourned. After that, he approached the dragon throne, took Emperor Jing'an's hand, and helped him up.
Emperor Jing'an took two trembling steps. He had no strength at all. Suddenly, the blood in his chest surged and in an instant, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth. Emperor Jing'an stood in front of the gauze curtain and vomited it out.
Eunuch Fu Hai was terrified and immediately shouted, "Your Majesty! Go and call the imperial physician! Someone, go and call the imperial physician!"
The court officials did not leave so quickly. Suddenly, they heard the anxious voice of Eunuch Fu Hai. They turned around and saw a pool of blood on the gauze curtain.
Suddenly, their hearts tightened, thinking that Emperor Jing'an had been assassinated, and they all rushed back to see what was happening to him.
The general was skilled in martial arts. He quickly jumped out of the crowd and ran to Emperor Jing'an. He saw Emperor Jing'an fall to the ground after spitting blood from his mouth.
Eunuch Fu Hai was not strong enough to move an unconscious adult man, and he kept shouting, "Call the imperial physician! Your Majesty, please don't scare me!"
"Please move aside, eunuch. I will carry His Majesty to find the imperial physician!"
Everyone who saw Emperor Jing'an was shocked, and some could not believe that the emaciated man before them was Emperor Jing'an.
A brave general, who was in an emergency situation, ignored the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects and carried Emperor Jing'an in his arms and ran down the dragon throne. He was about to cross the hall to find the imperial physician.
But he felt something was wrong. The Emperor Jing'an in his arms seemed to have stopped breathing.
He did not dare to stop and just walked out holding Emperor Jing'an, where he ran into the imperial physician who had been waiting outside the palace.
Ever since Emperor Jing'an was poisoned, they have been following him at all times, so they arrived in time.
"This lord, please put His Majesty on the ground first. Everyone else, please spread out. His Majesty is vomiting blood due to anger. There should be more space around him so that he can breathe." The imperial physician said in an orderly manner.
The court officials dispersed one after another, and only a few powerful people stood by Emperor Jing'an, carefully observing his situation.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was as surprised as the general. Emperor Jing'an was emaciated, and his face was haggard. He looked like... he was about to die.
The imperial physician took out a small brocade box, took out a black-brown pill and placed it under the root of Emperor Jing'an's tongue, then took Emperor Jing'an's pulse.
As soon as his hand touched the wrist of Emperor Jing'an, he immediately jumped away as if he had been electrocuted. He placed his hands respectfully in front of his chest, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Jing'an, shouting in a tragic and heroic voice: "Your Majesty - collapsed!"
Everyone's brains were buzzing and confused, their minds went blank, but their bodies reacted one after another, and they knelt on the ground and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty!"
The sky in Yunli Kingdom is about to change.
