The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Chapter 120 The Emperor is Sick

The soldiers gathered together at this moment, all with solemn expressions. They were well aware of the importance of the emperor's grace and the people's faith, which made their hearts surge with endless pride and loyalty.

Each of them held their weapons tightly in their hands, with awe for the country in their hearts. Their patriotism drove them to rush to the battlefield without hesitation.

At this moment, they understood that their lives no longer belonged to themselves alone, but to the entire court, the entire country and the people. Only by using their blood and lives could they defend the peace of the border and live up to the emperor's expectations and the people's trust.

Prince Guo and Prince Shen set an example by themselves. With a determined light in their eyes, they led the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion with high morale, like a group of brave lions.

The passionate shouts echoed in the night sky. Regardless of their fatigue, they rushed to the outside of Yanming Pass overnight. The dust was flying along the way, but it could not stop their progress at all.

They know that unknown dangers and challenges await them ahead, but they are not afraid because they have a firm belief in their hearts, which is to protect the peace of the country and enable the people to live and work in peace.

"All officers and men must remember the emperor's great grace and die for their country, swearing to safeguard the peace of our dynasty's borders..."

Fortunately, although the Junggar army came with great momentum, the two sides did not go to war. No one knew what Junggar's Mog Khan meant?

Because of this sudden war, the emperor, who was already busy with state affairs day and night, became even more worried. His increasingly haggard face revealed his inner uneasiness and anxiety.

The emperor dealt with various military and political affairs day and night, and did not dare to relax for a moment, for fear of any negligence.

However, excessive fatigue eventually broke down his body, and finally late one night, the emperor fell ill due to the heavy burden and developed a high fever.

Su Peisheng was in a panic, but he didn't dare let anyone know. He just quietly sent Doctor Wen over and secretly passed the message to me, so I went to see the emperor.

"Eunuch Su, how is the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been toiling away on state affairs these days, never able to rest day or night. Now he's suddenly runny with a high fever. What should we do? Tomorrow, the Emperor has to attend court early, and all the civil and military officials are waiting for his decision."

"If the Emperor is unable to attend court due to this high fever, wouldn't the court be in chaos? I really don't know how to explain this to the Empress. This is a huge responsibility, and I really can't bear it!"

Su Peisheng's face was full of anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He paced back and forth, his heart was tangled like a tangled mess.

"Eunuch Su, please calm down first. Don't be anxious. Let's wait and see what Doctor Wen says before making a decision."

I comforted Su Peisheng gently, with a hint of concern and calmness in my eyes.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is absolutely right. I was so anxious that I lost my composure. Thank you for your advice."

When Su Peisheng heard what I said, it was as if he had suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly bowed to me, and the anxiety on his face eased a little.

"Eunuch Su, there's no need to be so polite. You've been serving the Emperor for many years, so it's natural that you might be a little confused by your concern."

After an extremely meticulous diagnosis and treatment, Doctor Wen carefully observed every subtle symptom and pulse change of the emperor, his brows slightly furrowed from time to time, and finally relaxed gently.

Then he stood up, slowly turned his head, and said to me with a gentle but firm look: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Su, don't worry!"

"The reason His Majesty has a persistent high fever this time is because he has been overworked with state affairs, exhausting both physically and mentally. Furthermore, he recently caught a cold, which is why his body is in this state. Fortunately, his life is not in danger. With a little care, he will surely recover."

"It's just..." Wen Shichu hesitated to speak.

"Just what? Doctor Wen, the emperor..." Su Peisheng asked worriedly.

"This... I really don't know whether I should talk about this matter or not."

"Doctor Wen, don't worry. If you have anything to say, just speak directly. Don't worry. Eunuch Su and I are not outsiders."

"When I carefully took the emperor's pulse just now, I felt a faint sense of abnormality in it. After careful consideration, I seemed to find that the emperor seemed to have taken some medicinal pills. However, I dare not jump to conclusions, so I have the courage to come and ask. I wonder if this is really the case?"

"Well, Eunuch Su, is what Imperial Doctor Wen said true? Is it really true?" I asked in confusion.

Su Peisheng frowned slightly, a troubled look on his face, and he slowly said, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been plagued by many worries and concerns, so he is particularly concerned about his physical condition. It is for this reason that he began taking the so-called longevity elixir. Apart from this servant, no one else knows about this. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty and Imperial Physician Wen to keep this secret. You must not let this matter get out, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of it."

After saying this, he turned his head again, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He looked at Doctor Wen and asked softly, "Doctor Wen, in your opinion, is there any connection between the Emperor's current illness and the pills he took? I'm so worried. After all, the Emperor's health is related to the safety of the entire country. We can't afford to let any mistakes happen."

"Don't worry, eunuch. The emperor only has a common illness. It's just that until his body recovers, it's better not to take any elixirs. I will go get the medicine right away."

With Wen Shichu's words, we felt much more relieved.

"Your Majesty, I am really undecided about the Empress. Should I go and inform her? This is really a dilemma for me." Su Peisheng frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He was well aware of his position and responsibilities in the palace. He had to be extra cautious about matters related to the situation in the palace.

"Eunuch Su, please don't panic. The Emperor's illness is so serious, how could it be hidden from the Empress? After all, she is the mistress of the six palaces, and she will definitely be aware of it. However, for now, to avoid unnecessary confusion and trouble, the fewer people who know about this, the better. Therefore, I'll trouble you to quickly send someone to inform the Empress. It must be done secretly, and no one should be found out. Otherwise, if other troubles arise, it will be disastrous."

"Yes, your Majesty is right. I will have Xiao Xiazi inform the Queen right away."

"Go quickly, eunuch. I'll just look after the emperor here."
