Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The emperor stared at the wound and couldn't help but feel dazed. The bright color of blood reminded him of when he was a child playing in the back garden and suddenly heard a scream.

Curious, he hurried over to investigate and was shocked to see his Ninth Brother lying in a pool of blood. It turned out that his Ninth Brother had fallen from the rockery in the garden, hitting the back of his head with blood gushing out.

The emperor was frightened silly at that time, his body trembling constantly, and the blood-red in front of his eyes gradually spread until it dyed his eyes red. He could not see anything except the blood-red, and his ears were buzzing.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyes were covered with hands. Then, a steady voice sounded in his ears: "Don't look."

It was Prince Liang, his uncle.

The emperor felt as if he were falling into a blood-red vortex, only to be suddenly pulled out. The buzzing in his ears vanished, and the blood-red before his eyes gradually faded. Panic-stricken, he threw himself into Prince Liang's arms and cried. Prince Liang embraced him, patted his back, and spoke softly to comfort him.

From then on, for a long time, he dared not stay alone and stayed with King Liang all the time. It was also at that time that he developed absolute trust and dependence on King Liang.

At this moment, looking at the blood on his fingertips, he could still recall the fear he felt in his childhood. He didn't know why his ninth brother fell to his death, and why King Liang happened to be there. But it didn't matter. He was no longer afraid and no longer needed to rely on King Liang.

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Jin called out worriedly, "Your Majesty."

The emperor put his injured finger into his mouth. Liu Jin wanted to stop him but didn't dare.

Feeling the smell of blood spreading in his mouth, the emperor took out his finger, and Liu Jin hurriedly handed him a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, let me bandage you."

The emperor extended his hand and looked at Zou Tai, who was still kneeling with his head bowed. "Go and inform all the ministers that I am ill and that court is adjourned today."

Then he said to Liu Jin, "Go and call the imperial physician."

Zou Tai said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this imperial physician..."

The emperor's eyes turned cold and he sneered, "If I don't announce the imperial physician, how can I know whether the imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital is my own or the Prince of Liang's."

Zou Tai didn't dare to persuade him anymore and went out to inform the ministers. The ministers had already entered the palace and were waiting to attend the court. As soon as Zou Tai went to make the announcement, all the officials were in an uproar. Grand Tutor Yan asked anxiously, "The emperor was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly fall ill today?"

Zou Tai shook his head. "I don't know either. I was supposed to escort the Emperor to court, but he fainted before he even left the chambers. Eunuch Liu had already gone to fetch the imperial physician before I arrived."

Upon hearing that the emperor had fainted, Grand Tutor Yan and the others became even more anxious. Grand Tutor Yan said, "I will go and see the emperor."

Zou Tai reached out to stop Master Yan and said, "The Emperor did not summon Master. This is an emergency. No one except the imperial physician is allowed to approach the bedroom."

Grand Tutor Yan's face darkened. "What do you mean? Would I harm the Emperor?"

Zou Tai said firmly, "That's not what I meant. The emperor is in a coma and there's no one in charge of government affairs. Grand Master, you should calm the court officials first. The emperor will summon you when he wakes up."

After saying this, he left the guards behind and returned to the bedroom.

After Zou Tai and Liu Jin left, the emperor stood outside the door in his pajamas to enjoy the breeze. It was very cold in the early morning of December.

The emperor, who had just broken out in a cold sweat due to fear, soon felt dizzy after being blown by the cold wind.

When the imperial physicians arrived, the emperor was lying unconscious on the bed with a flushed face. The hospital director took the emperor's pulse.

Liu Jin paced anxiously behind the emperor. Although the emperor had woken up, he was still worried that there was something wrong with his health.

Zou Tai waved to Liu Jin at the door. Liu Jin walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter, Master Zou?"

Zou Tai: "Have you informed the Queen?"

Liu Jin was stunned: "No."

Zou Tai: "Send someone to inform them. The emperor is in a coma, and the only one who can make the decision in the palace is the queen.

Prince Liang will presumably be entering the palace soon, and with the Empress around, he can't directly rule over the Emperor."

Liu Jin nodded. It was true. He wanted to ask a young eunuch to go, but he was afraid that the young eunuch would not be able to explain clearly. However, he was not at ease with the emperor if he went.

Seeing him looking towards the bedroom with concern, Zou Tai said soothingly, "Go ahead, I'm here, don't worry."

Only then did Liu Jin make up his mind and jog away.

Zou Tai entered the bedroom and stared at the imperial doctors, memorizing every expression.

He planned to find Su Qin as soon as he left the palace and tell her the reactions of the imperial doctors.

After listening to what Zhao Liangchen said about Su Qin yesterday, Zou Tai now thinks that Su Qin is a person who is extremely intelligent and like a god.

He is too stupid to tell who has the problem, but Su Qin can definitely do it.

Prince Liang did arrive very quickly. He did not attend court today, but the news of the emperor's fainting soon reached Prince Liang's mansion.

Prince Liang stared at the eunuch who had brought the news and asked in disbelief, "You said the emperor fainted?"

Eunuch: "That's what Lord Zou said. All the doctors have gone, and the imperial guards have surrounded the emperor's chambers."

Prince Liang frowned tightly. He didn't believe that the emperor would faint for no reason. He was more inclined to believe that the emperor was pretending.

As for why he was pretending, he was a little confused. He had previously suspected that the emperor wanted to seize power from him, but there was no flaw in the emperor's performance yesterday.

He mentioned choosing a concubine yesterday, but fainted today. Could it be that he doesn’t want to choose a concubine anymore?

No matter what it was, he had to go into the palace to take a look.

When Prince Liang arrived, the Queen was already there, but the Emperor had not yet woken up.

The other three regents were outside the bedroom, but no one could go in.

The guards pushed Prince Liang forward, and Prince Liang asked anxiously, "I heard that the emperor was ill. Is he awake now?"

The three regents glanced at Prince Liang, not surprised at all that he had heard the news so quickly. The Grand Tutor replied indifferently, "The Emperor hasn't woken up yet."

On the other hand, Grand Tutor Yan said to Prince Liang with a confused look on his face, "Your Highness, the Emperor is unconscious, and the Empress has not allowed us to visit him. You and the Emperor have always had a close relationship, and the Emperor trusts you. Perhaps the Empress will not stop you. Please go in and see what is going on."

Prince Liang nodded slightly and said, "Grand Master, there's no need to worry. The Emperor is still young and in good health. He'll be fine. I'll go in and take a look first."

There were steps in front of the bedroom, and he couldn't go up in his wheelchair. He refused the guards' help, slowly stood up, and limped up the steps.

Zou Taishou, standing at the door, saw him bow respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the Empress has ordered that no one except the imperial physician be allowed to enter."

Although Prince Liang looked easygoing, his calm eyes revealed a coldness: "Can't I go in too?"

Zou Tai bent even lower: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Prince Liang knew that Zou Tai and even the entire Zou family were leaning towards the emperor, so he had no patience for Zou Tai. He said coldly: "Get out of the way. I am the emperor's uncle. Even the emperor would not stop me from leaving."

Zou Tai stood up with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, this is the palace rule. Normally, I only obey the Emperor. Now that the Emperor is unconscious, I obey the Empress. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Prince Liang's face turned pale. He had not expected to be stopped outside the door by a small group of imperial guards. Just when he wanted to have Zou Tai forcibly pulled aside, the palace door slowly opened from the side.

Prince Liang looked up and saw the Queen standing at the door. She looked calm without a trace of anxiety, and her emotions were as clear as an ancient well.

Prince Liang bowed slightly and said, "Your humble servant greets the Queen."

The Empress nodded and said, "Your Highness, the imperial physician is treating the Emperor inside. If too many people go in, it will disturb the physician. Your Highness, please wait outside. The Emperor will see you when he wakes up."

Although Prince Liang looked down on the Queen as a woman, he would not deny her face in front of so many people. He said with a slightly anxious look, "I am just worried about the Emperor and want to go in and see him."

The Queen remained expressionless as she stepped out of the chamber. "Your Highness, it won't be of any help if you go in. You should wait outside. I will wait with you."

After she finished speaking, she stood in the corridor and looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking. Seeing that she said that, King Liang felt it was not appropriate to force his way in, so he had to stand outside with her.

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the palace door.

Prince Liang still had an injury on his leg, and after just a moment of standing, it started to ache. He raised his hand to signal his guards to bring up the wheelchair, "Your Majesty, my injury hasn't healed yet, and I can't stand. I'll just sit and wait."

The Queen did not turn around, still looking into the distance, and said calmly, "Your Highness, please do as you please."
